Sebastian Bach opened up about working with his son, Paris, while on the road for The Party Never Ends Tour. The former Skid Row frontman’s solo tour has shows scheduled through the fall of 2026, which means the hard rockin’ father and son will be spending a lot of time together this year.

During a February 2026 appearance on Elizabeth Zharoff’s The Charismatic Voice podcast, Bach, 57, talked about the perks of having his son join his band.

“My son Paris plays drums for me now, which is great becauseI missed out on so much of his childhood as a dad, because I wasn't there,” the “What Do I Got to Lose” singer said. “Now he's with me all the time. So, we get to go to dinner together and be in the airport together and like do boring things together."

Paris is Bach’s son from his first marriage to Maria Aquinar. The exes also share a son, London, and a daughter, Sebastiana. Bach has been married to Suzanne Le since 2015.

Bach previously spoke about working with Paris in an interview with WCNC Charlotte. The rocker said he enjoys the time off with his son while they travel the country.

"You have days off on the road, so I'll go out to dinner with my son," he said. "I have family with me out there on the road, and it means a lot to me. And if he messes up the gig, after the show, he has to mow the lawn!"

Bach also joked to Tulsa Kids about "punishing" his grown son if he messes up onstage. “I don’t know if you know this, but on drums is my son!” he shared in August 2025. “If he messes up the show, right after we’re done, I’m gonna make him go mow the lawn. Either that or he’s gonna get sent to the tour bus, without his dinner!”

Bach acknowledged that he missed a lot when his kids were young and is making up for it now.

“To be honest, the life of a successful musician often carries the cost of the family life because you’re not around at the birthdays, you’re not at graduation, you’re not at really heavy events that normal people get, and they don’t understand that a guy like me misses out on so much,” he said. “Having my son on the road with me in my band, I can’t even tell you, when I turn around, and I look at him on the stage, and I’m having a father and son moment, I’m like: Here’s a moment I am here for, dude!”

Bach revealed that he built a drum studio at his home during the COVID pandemic, and his son rehearsed there daily. The rock legend was thrilled when he realized his son had the “rehearsal gene.”

On the podcast with Zharoff, Bach said that while he’s not ruling out working with other drummers in the future, he loves having Paris as a bandmate. “I mean, he’s my son,” Bach said. “He's around all the time, and he wants nothing more than to play in a band with his dad. And so that's what's happening, you know. It's tough to beat that.”

The Pima County Sheriff's Department has made an interesting move on the 25th day of the Nancy Guthrie investigation: They've implemented a parking ban. Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb 1, and authorities believe that she may have been abducted from her home in Arizona in the middle of the night.

Since Guthrie's disappearance, dozens of news outlets, reporters, and YouTubers have been reporting live from outside of Guthrie's home. Each day, vehicles have lined the streets, but that will come to a close beginning tomorrow, Feb. 26.

"Pima County Administrator just signed off banning all vehicles from parking on Nancy Guthrie's street starting February 26th," investigative reporter Jonathan Lee Riches, known to many as "JLR" wrote on X.

"There will be no parking on several streets in the Catalina Foothills Estates neighborhood surrounding the Nancy Guthrie residence as a further measure to protect public safety and relieve area residents from chaotic conditions caused by a large media and social media streamer presence in the area. The temporary change goes into effect Feb. 26," read the official statement, according to KOLD journalist, Mary Coleman.

"Dozens of media and “streamers” have been camped out on North Camino Escalante for several weeks after an intensive search began Feb. 1 for Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBCToday Show host Savannah Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie was last seen Jan. 31. Streamers and media members have set up tents, generators, and sometimes satellite trucks along the road, creating severe congestion and safety concerns, and at times blockages of the quiet neighborhood road," the statement continued.

The department said its goal is to "protect public safety" and "restore the neighborhood to more normal conditions that allow access to the community for emergency vehicles and fire trucks, as well as service vehicles, such as school buses, trash trucks, and the postal service."

News of the upcoming parking band comes on the heels of new movement reported at Guthrie's home. On Wednesday, Feb. 25, several photos and videos of unidentified personnel in and around Guthrie's home surfaced online. Several people wearing suits were seen looking around the outside of Guthrie's home and many were also inside. Additionally, a couple of SUVs with tinted windows were seen at the home. At least one of these vehicles entered Guthrie's garage but waited for the door to close before anyone exited the vehicle.

Retirement means different things to different people. For some, it involves slow mornings with coffee on the porch, while for others, it’s a time for travel, hobbies, and finally tackling the projects that have been put aside for decades. While personality and preparation are the most important factors, certain birth months may be particularly conducive to thriving in this next phase of life. Whether you’re an energetic April-born or a practical January-born, the month you were born may influence how you embrace your newfound freedom in the years ahead.

As a result, January-born individuals frequently spend their lives planning, working steadily, and thinking long-term. This mindset pays off in retirement; by the time they reach it, they are usually well-prepared both financially and emotionally. With Capricorn and Aquarius seasons occurring in this month, there is a blend of practicality and independent thinking among January-born retirees. They don't fade into the background; instead, they reinvent themselves. Many choose to take classes, start small businesses, volunteer, or finally pursue passions they had postponed. Structure provides them with a sense of security, allowing them to truly relax.

It’s been close to four decades since pop star Debbie Gibson took to the stage in Australia, but the “Lost in Your Eyes” singer will soon make her triumphant return to Oz. 

The singer, who rose to fame as a teenager in the 1980s with a string of pop anthems like “Foolish Beat,” garnering industry acclaim for writing and producing her own music, including a 1989 ASCAP Songwriter of the Year nod, took to social media today to share the news with her fans. 

“OMG !!! I’m heading back to Australia,” the singer started the caption of a video before noting that it will be “for the first time since 1989.” Gibson’s last Australian show before this upcoming tour took place on December 7, 1989, in Brisbane.

The video starts with Gibson looking directly at the camera to say, “it’s been over three and a half decades,” before cutting to a medley of footage of eager fans waiting to see Gibson on stage in Australia, talking about how much they appreciate her. The video then goes back to present-day Gibson telling the “beautiful people of Australia: the time has come. I am coming back!” 

View this post on Instagram

The video’s caption shared that Gibson will return to Australia “alongside the incredible Go West on their 40th anniversary tour!” Gibson’s tour dates will kick off in Perth on August 25 before hitting Sydney on August 28, Melbourne on August 29, and Adelaide on August 31. Two additional September dates, Hobart on September 2 and Brisbane on September 4, will round out Gibson’s planned performances in the Land Down Under. 

“You can expect a night packed with era defining hits, Newstalgia , and the incredible connection and loyalty I’m so grateful for,” Gibson wrote before pointing out that she’ll be celebrating her birthday during the Adelaide stop.

According to People, season 7 of the Bravo series was scheduled to begin filming this week in Utah, but production was halted following Robert's death on Monday Feb. 23.

Mary starred on season 6 of RHOSLC alongside Lisa Barlow, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Bronwyn Newport, Whitney Rose and Angie Katsanevas. Britani Bateman also appeared as a "friend of" the cast.

Mary was an original cast member on the series, starring in seasons 1 and 2 before leaving ahead of season 3. She rejoined the show as a "friend of" for season 4 before returning as a full-time cast member for season 5 onwards.

Mary and her husband Robert Cosby Sr. confirmed the death of their only son via Instagram on Feb. 25.

“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord,” Mary, who is pastor at Faith Temple Pentecostal Church in Salt Lake City, wrote. “Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.”

In the comment section, several of Mary's RHOSLC co-stars left words of support.

"I’m so saddened and sorry 😢 sending love and prayers," Bateman wrote. "Sending you all my love Mary. So sorry for your loss 💔🪽." said Rose.

"There are no words big enough. We love you Mary🤍," added Gay. "♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️." commented Barlow.

Bravo’s Andy Cohen also paid tribute to Robert Jr. via Threads on Feb. 25. 

“Devastatingly sad news out of SLC. This is every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart is broken for Mary, and I am sending all my love to her and Robert Sr.,” he wrote.

There are so many different types of bedding, and each deserves its own time and place. Sometimes you want a big, fluffy comforter to keep you ultra warm at night. Other times, a simple, gorgeous quilt is the only extra layer you need to drift off into dreamland. But when the weather starts to get warmer, there are nights when all you want is the gentle touch of a blanket without it adding much extra weight.

That's when gauzy blankets get their time to shine. It's lightweight but still comforting and feels breathable without being flimsy. That slightly crinkled texture gives it a relaxed, lived-in vibe that just feels comfortable right out of the packaging. (Though I would still wash it first before using.)

As the frontman and chief songwriter in the Foo Fighters and the drummer in Nirvana, Dave Grohl has written, sung and played on dozens of classic songs from the Foo’s “Everlong” to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” yet there’s a song he has no affiliation with that he wishes wrote.

Grohl made the reveal during a recent interview with Huw Stephens on the BBC’s Radio 6 Music, a clip of which was shared on the official Instagram accounts of R.E.M., BBC Radio 6 Music, and BBC Sounds.

“The other day I was in the car and I, the R.E.M. song, ‘The One I Love’….  that song came on. And of course, I'd heard it a trillion times and I was a huge R.E.M. fan when I was young from their first record on. And I was listening to this song and I'm like, wait, there's only five lyrics. In this whole song, ‘This one goes out to the one I love, this one goes out to the one I left behind.’ That's all the song says, and it's such a beautiful [song], it's an anthem and the simplicity of that is really only like five chords or something like that. So, I was listening to that and like, I wish I could write something that simple.”

View this post on Instagram

Grohl’s count of the lyrics is a little off. He left out the line, “A simple prop to occupy my time” which reappears as “Another prop has occupied my time,” as well as the refrain “Fire” and backing vocals “she’s comin’ down on her own,” which turn what initially appears to be a love song into something much darker.

The first single from R.E.M.’s fifth album, 1987’s Document, the song became the band’s first mainstream hit single when it reached No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The song is currently R.E.M.’s seventh most streamed song on Spotify with more than 172 million plays, following “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine),” “Man on the Moon,” “Shiny Happy People,” “Everybody Hurts,” and “Losing My Religion,” which has cracked the 1 billion streams mark.

“The One I Love” has recently also enjoyed some play on concert stages as the all-star band Drink the Sea, which includes R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, has included it in its setlists on its current tour. When Drink the Sea recently performed at the legendary 40 Watt Club in R.E.M.’s hometown of Athens, Ga., Buck’s onetime bandmate Mike Mills joined the group onstage to lend backing vocals as Alain Johannes of Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Eleven and What Is This, sang lead.

Fans of The Cranberries entered into a heated debate on social media this week after the band reposted a cover of their hit song "Zombie" performed by Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus, who performed the song at Hollywood's Whisky A Go-Go in 2020, included her live cover on her Plastic Hearts album, and fans have since had a lot of feelings about her take on the iconic rock track.

The Cranberries reignited the conversation on Tuesday, Feb. 24 while sharing footage from Cyrus' performance, which many fans consider to be the "best cover" of "Zombie"—though others vehemently disagree.

Despite comments on the band's post calling Cyrus version the "Best cover ever👏" and several users' "favorite cover" to date, others insisted that the "Flowers" songstress can't be compared to the lead vocalist for The Cranberries, Dolores O'Riordan.

View this post on Instagram

"I’m sorry but Dolores is unreachable," one critic wrote in the comments, while another user said Cyrus' version is "not even close" to the original.

"hard pass....only cranberries," another disapproving fan commented.

But others insisted that Cyrus did the song justice.

"She did amazing! Vocals gave me chills for this cover song. Not everyone can embody Dolores!" one impressed fan wrote.

"Not bad!" added another. "Nobody can replicate D's vocals even close though."

O'Riordan, who joined The Cranberries in 1990, tragically died in 2018 from an accidental drowning in a bathtub due to alcohol intoxication. She was 46.

"I think Dolores would be proud of it," one commenter wrote of Cyrus' take on "Zombie," while calling it the "best cover version of this song."

"She fits this songs... perfectly!!🔥" another user added.

The band also seemed to give their stamp of approval to Cyrus' version by posting the clip of the performance in the first place, which was affectionately captioned, "🖤 Miley 🖤."

Advancements in technology have completely transformed the toy industry. Once upon a time, that world was largely dominated by simple, hands-on products that encouraged imaginative play. While modern offerings may revolve around electronics and interactivity, though, there are still a few relics from the past that continue to provide hours of enjoyment.

Among the most popular is the famed Rubik's Cube, the wonderfully colorful little block made up from even tinier blocks. It's a puzzle unlike any other, developed in 1974 by a Hungarian professor of architecture. The brainteaser quickly caught on after it hit store shelves in 1980, and it's as relevant and exciting today as it ever was. It also happens to be an awesome value, just $13 at Walmart for the classic model that started it all.

The standout toy is a genuine mind-bender that has challenged even the most ardent and skilled players for decades. According to the brand, the standard model has a whopping 43 quintillion permutations. The entire premise revolves around unscrambling the cubes so that each side ultimately features only a single color. 

It's the ultimate mental challenge, and some estimates suggest that only 5.8% of the world's population can actually solve a Rubik's Cube! The journey to the solution, though, is well worth it. Playing with a Rubik's Cube is a fun way to pass the time. It requires quite a bit of strategic thinking and memory, and it can also strengthen hand-eye coordination while boosting concentration and focus.

This kind of game-playing is also ideal for relieving stress and zoning out, according to shoppers. One person said it brought them "hours of joy," while another described it as "fun and challenging."

Another testament to the toy's genius design is its sheer longevity. From its debut at the 1980 British Toy & Hobby Fair in London to the many variations of the puzzle that now exist, the Rubik's Cube has really earned its place as a cultural phenomenon. There are cubing competitions held all over the globe that draw thousands of "speedcubers" to try their hand at solving the puzzle.

Among the many cool iterations of the toy is the Magnetic Speed Cube, which is basically a fun upgrade that puts a fresh spin on the original. This Walmart-exclusive two-pack includes a standard 3x3 cube and a smaller 2x2 version, and both are engineered to move more smoothly so you can potentially solve it even faster! The cubes are magnetized and give off a satisfying little snap whenever you line them up correctly. There are no old-school stickers on this model, either. The colors are built into the plastic, so there's no risk of anything peeling off.

Rubik's Cube celebrated 50 years since its invention in 2024, which marks an incredibly impressive run for a toy that most of us can remember playing with during our childhoods. To commemorate the occasion, the brand released an anniversary edition honoring the retro design. It's vintage in the best way, bringing back some memories of yesteryear for adults and giving children a glimpse into the past.

Dr Pepper is teaming up with Johnsonville (yes, the sausage company).

Months ago, rumors suggested the two companies would be launching a truly first-of-its-kind collaboration: Dr Pepper-flavored sausages, and at the time, fans were divided. While some rejoiced, "What a time to be alive!" others insisted that "we are losing touch as a society."

But you know what they say, it's not fair to judge a book by its cover, so here's everything you need to know about the new release—including when and where you can find it.

Johnsonville's Dr Pepper-Inspired Sausage Is Really Happening

According to this morning's press release, the new signature sausage was inspired by the findings of a recent poll conducted by the company, which suggested that 73 percent of American respondents are "hanging out less than they used to," and a majority (some 51 percent) say that "socializing feels more uncomfortable now." Still, 91 percent agree "food makes things more fun," and 76 percent of those polled want to push themselves out of their comfort zone.

Enter the solution: Johnsonville Dr Pepper Sausage, sold in packs big enough to share and hitting shelves just in time for an early spring barbecue.

"Johnsonville and Dr Pepper are built for hangouts, and our data continues to show people are connecting less," Jamie Schmelzer, vice president of marketing at Johnsonville, explained in a Feb. 25 statement. "So, we got together and made something fun, unexpected and maybe delicious? Reaction to the idea of a soda-inspired sausage has been a little polarized, but we hope people hang out, give it a try and let us know what they think, love 'em or hate 'em."

Though some social media users were up in a roar over the prospect of Dr Pepper Sausage, the idea isn't so far-fetched as even the soda giant recognizes it (like many other cola-esque drinks) has been used as a marinade and in barbecue sauces for years.

"At Dr Pepper, we're always looking for bold, delicious ways to show up in fans' lives, and this collaboration with Johnsonville takes that to a whole new level," Derek Dabrowski, senior vice president of Brand Marketing at Dr Pepper, shared. "Our signature 23‑flavors has been used in home kitchens and backyard BBQs for years, so transforming that iconic taste into a sausage felt both unexpected and completely natural."

Johnsonville said it collaborated very closely with Dr Pepper to ensure the soft drink's "one-of-a-kind flavor" enhanced the flavor of its sausage and translated the beverage's original 23-flavor blend into a spiced "nuanced, sweet and salty – or SWALTY" finish. The result is a "unique, flavor experience that brings the depth and personality of Dr Pepper into a whole new category, and we can't wait for fans to discover it," per Dabrowski. Parade actually got a taste of the new release, so if you're interested in our opinion, check out this detailed review.

Johnsonville Dr Pepper Sausage is expected to be available as soon as Sunday, March 1, on shelves and roller grills at major retailers and convenience stores across the U.S., including Walmart, Kroger, 7-Eleven, and more.

Not into sausage? The beloved soda brand has released several other sweet collaborations this year that are sure to hit the spot, including the highly anticipated Dr Pepper Dippin' Dots, Snack Pack pudding cups and Tic Tacs.

Alyssa Milano is speaking up in defense of the families of James Van Der Beek and Eric Dane.

Van Der Beek died on Feb. 11 following a battle with stage three colorectal cancer. Dane, on the other hand, passed away on Feb. 19 due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

Since the Dawson's Creek and Grey's Anatomy actors deaths, GoFundMe campaigns have been launched to support their families. Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly shared six children while Dane had two teenage daughters with Rebecca Gayheart.

As of Wednesday, Feb. 25, Van Der Beek's GoFundMe has raised nearly $2.8 million while Dane's has amassed over $464,000. However, both have been subject to criticism, with online critics debating if the actors' families are truly in need of financial support.

In a Substack article titled "The 'Elite' Myth and the GoFundMe Outrage" published on Monday, Feb. 23, Milano defended the GoFundMes and provided some insight into Van Der Beek and Dane's financial situations.

RELATED: Eric Dane’s Thoughts on His ‘McSteamy’ Era on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Resurface After His Death

"When friends of Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek organized GoFundMe campaigns for their families, the backlash was swift and predictable," the Charmed actress began. "Comment sections filled with variations of the same accusation: Why are we giving money to elites? Aren’t they rich? Isn’t this absurd?"

"There is a mythology about actors that lingers from another era, one built on twenty-two-episode seasons, long-term network contracts, DVD sales, and syndication checks that arrived for decades," she continued. "In that model, a hit show could provide steady employment for most of the year and residuals that offered real financial security between jobs. That system shaped the public’s understanding of what a 'successful' actor must earn. But that system has largely disappeared."

Milano went on to explain that the rise of streaming platforms, shorter television seasons and lower pay have made it increasingly difficult to earn long-term income—even for actors on some of the industry’s most successful shows.

"According to SAG-AFTRA’s own data, the majority of its members do not earn enough annually from acting to qualify for union health insurance," Milano added. Most working actors are middle class at best. Many are working class. Visibility is not wealth. Recognition is not financial stability."

RELATED: James Van Der Beek Fans Claim His Merch Store Won’t Offer Refunds for Signed Items

She also noted that the pandemic and the rise of AI have worsened existing challenges in the industry, with many actors turning to platforms like Cameo or paid social media partnerships to supplement their income. In Van Der Beek's case, he sold autographed memorabilia to help fund his cancer treatment.

"A recognizable face from a beloved show fifteen years ago does not guarantee permanent wealth. The entertainment industry is cyclical and unpredictable. Income arrives in bursts, followed by long stretches of waiting," Milano wrote. "Health insurance depends on meeting earnings thresholds. Read that again. Agents, managers, and lawyers take percentages. Families rely on consistency in a profession built on inconsistency. Add a serious health diagnosis into that equation and it’s impossible to stay afloat. Medical costs escalate. Earning capacity changes. Time becomes less flexible."

The actress then told critics to direct their anger at Hollywood executives who built these systems, rather than at the talent.

"There are executives collecting multi-million-dollar bonuses while entire crews struggle to maintain healthcare eligibility," she said. "They are corporate boards consolidating media companies and cutting jobs to protect stock prices. They are billionaires whose wealth compounds regardless of economic downturns and whose influence shapes the very narratives that divide working people from one another."

She concluded her message by pointing out that it is normal for communities to come together and support those grieving the loss of a loved one or otherwise going through a difficult time before providing links to both GoFundMe campaigns.

"So when friends of Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek organized GoFundMe campaigns, what they were doing was not frivolous. Their friends were doing something ordinary. They were passing the hat," Milano said. "Communities have always done this. In small towns. In churches. In union halls. When someone is ill, when someone is grieving, when uncertainty descends, people gather resources and say: Let us help carry them."

After Eric Dane died, his friends started a GoFundMe in an effort to raise money to help his family pay off his medical bills and also ensure that his kids—daughters Billie and Georgia—are financially taken care of.

Now, Us Weekly has confirmed that Dane's ex-girlfriend, Priya Jain, donated $10,000 to the fundraiser. The total of the fundraiser was at $464,000 of a $500,000 goal at the time of this writing. Jain and Dane dated for about a year in 2024. At the time, Dane was separated from his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, with whom he shared his daughters.

"As his illness progressed far more quickly than anyone could have imagined, Eric's friends have come together to create this GoFundMe to support his girls and their future needs. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability during this incredibly difficult time and in the future for Eric’s wonderful daughters," the fundraiser's description reads, in part.

Dane's death came just 10 months after he'd been diagnosed with ALS.

Although Dane and Jain were no longer dating, the two were thought to be on good terms.

"In the months leading up to Eric’s passing Priya and Eric reconnected their relationship as friends," a source told Us Weekly. "Priya didn’t think it would happen this quickly," the source continued, adding that Jain was "so devastated" after hearing the news of Dane's death.

“She has a lot of love for his family," the source also said.

Since its publication 75 years ago, this classic novel has still a huge target of censors.

According to PEN America, book censorship has reached unprecedented levels in the United States. According to data collected this past April during National Library Week, pressure groups and government organizations intiated 72% of demands to censor books in schools and public libraries. Many of these organized efforts to target books cover social issues such as race, gender and LGBTQ+ themes. Since 2021, there have been nearly 23,000 instances of book bans that have taken place in public schools nationwide since 2021.

In an article published in 2023 by the Los Angeles Times, journalist Patrick J. Kiger revealed ten notable classical works that have been banned or challenged over the years. One of the books that has been challenged throughout the years has been J.D Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.

The coming-of-age novel follows and is narrated by 16-year-old Holden Caulfield, who goes on a weekend trip back home to New York City after being expelled from his boarding prep school. While struggling with the death of his brothers and the stresses of life, Holden tries to search for connection and authenticity, ultimately finding solace through his little sister, Phoebe, before seeking treatment.

The Catcher in the Rye is often considered controversial and frequently has been banned or challenged in multiple school districts because of its mature themes. The text includes vulgar language, underage smoking and drinking, multiple sexual references and is ultimately a story about rebelling against authority. Though some view it as inappropriate for young readers, others see it as a classic coming-of-age story that realistically explores teenage angst, feelings and mental health.

Though Salinger avoided talking about the controversy surrounding his novel, he once said, according to TIME, that "all my best friends are children. It's almost unbearable for me to realize that my book will be kept on a shelf out of their reach."

When Salinger released The Catcher in the Rye in July 1951, it was an immediate success. Readers loved his depiction of adolescent alienation and the loss of innocence that Holden experiences. He followed his novel with two short story collections: Nine Stories (1953) and Franny and Zooey (1961), as well as two novellas in 1963: Raise High the Roof Beam and Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction. His last published work, another novella titled Hapworth 16, 1924, was published in The New Yorker on June 19, 1965.

The writer passed away on Jan. 27, 2010, due to natural causes at 91 years old. Though Catcher in the Rye was his only full novel, Salinger wrote for 50 years before publishing anything, and his widow, Colleen O'Neill Zakrzeskyi Salinger, and his son, Matt, became the executors of his estate and were preparing to publish some of those works.

Catcher in the Rye can be purchased as an e-book on the Kindle Store, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and Kobo for $9.99. Meanwhile, physical copies range from $11 to $20 from various book and grocery stores.

Heated Rivalry starConnor Storrie, 26, is making his debut as a Saturday Night Livehost on February 28.

In a February 25 interview withEntertainment Tonight, Storrie was asked if his background in the performance art of clowning helped prepare him to star in SNL sketches. Storrie replied that he believes sketch comedy and clowning are very different.

"I don't know if it does. I think it just makes me used to being outside of myself," said Storrie, who plays Russian hockey player, Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry. "Actually I think it kind of, it makes it a little bit more difficult in a weird way because I mean, you know, there's certain things that I would do in clown performances that I can't really do in sketch. It's a different dialogue with the audience."

He clarified that sketch comedy and clowning both consist of "being in front of people and kind of being outside of yourself."

Storrie opened up about his background in clowning during a December 2025 episode of In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele. He explained that while he's not trained in comedy, he is apart of "the clown scene" in Los Angeles. Storrie also said that his performances are best described as an "alternate kind of the modern clown." He shared that he has taken classes from Chad Damiani and Jet Eveleth, known for their work in modern clowning.

"It's pretty much just like alternate theater. I mean, I think what we do in LA is very separate from the actual clown, like the origins of clown. But it's pretty much just getting up there and making idiotic offers to the audience and then if they laugh, keep doing it. Once they stop laughing, do something else," said Storrie on the podcast episode.

Connor Storrie Shared How He Was Feeling About Hosting 'SNL'

He also suggested that he has felt welcomed by the show's current 51st season cast and writers.

"I think everyone here is so funny and, you know, I still can't believe it's happening," said the actor while speaking to Entertainment Tonight.

Just in time for spring celebrations and Easter basket prep, Tubby Todd is rolling out a fresh limited-edition collection designed to bring a little extra joy to everyday bath time.

The popular family skincare brand has teamed up once again with party and lifestyle favorite Meri Meri on a seasonal collaboration that blends gentle, parent-approved formulas with whimsical, gift-ready design.

The new Spring and Easter Collections feature soft pastel palettes, playful florals, and cheerful seasonal details that feel equal parts nursery-chic and shelf-worthy.

The only thing better than Connor Storrie hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend would be his Heated Rivalry co-stars making cameos. After all, HR fans are starving for more content since the season 1 finale, “The Cottage,” aired on December 26, 2025. 

“We have to know, I mean, your Heated Rivalry co-stars — Hudson, François, Robbie — will any of them be coming out for a cameo?” an interviewer for Entertainment Tonight asked Storrie, 26, on Tuesday, February 25, referring to Hudson Williams, Robbie G.K., or François Arnaud.

“I have no idea what the show is looking like. When they say they do it in a matter of days, it really comes around in a matter of days. So I have no idea what the show’s gonna look like,” the up-and-coming actor, who turned 26 years old on February 22, replied.

“Have they been giving you support, though? What does that support mean from your co-stars?” the interviewer followed up. 

“Oh, yeah! Hudson’s literally my best friend, François is one of my best friends, they’re so excited for me,” Storrie, who plays Russian professional hockey player Ilya Rozanov on the hit Crave series, smiled. 

When asked how his younger self would feel about hosting Saturday Night Live, Storrie gushed, “I think at that time I wanted to be a cast member on SNL, not necessarily hosting, so, yeah, I think he would just … probably explode and cease to exist.

As for his current self? “I feel good. The blizzard we had at the beginning of the week kinda forced me to chill out for two days, and you know, really ground myself,” Storrie explained, noting the more than 20 inches of snow New York City saw Sunday and Monday. “I’m just excited, and I think everyone here is so funny. You know, I still can’t believe it’s happening.” 

If you’ve watched Heated Rivalry, then you know that Storrie’s Rozanov has funny moments — insert clip of Ilya eating pasta, here — but at its core, the role leans toward drama. That said, Storrie is more than up to the task of making audiences laugh. 

“Funny’s a weird thing, you know? I mean, especially something like sketch, I met with all the writers yesterday, and everyone’s just so smart. It’s a specific kind of intelligence that’s a little intimidating, but I’m just gonna go for it," he said.

Storrie's episode of Saturday Night Live airs on Saturday, February 28, on NBC at 11:30 p.m. coast-to-coast. The episode also streams simultaneously on Peacock.

Feldman has agreed to a settlement where he will pay Mitchell $100,000 in spousal support. Furthermore, Feldman and Mitchell, "waive any all rights to receive spousal support from the other at any time now or in the future," according to court documents.

Feldman had announced his separation from Mitchell in August 2023 and said at the time, "We have been through so much together and still have much love and respect for each other."

Feldman also expressed in 2023, "There is no one to blame. This is a case of life becoming really hard, Courtney dealing with health issues, and two people who have grown apart and now find themselves at a crossroads."

Prior to his relationship with Mitchell, Feldman had been married to actress Vanessa Marcil, from 1989 to 1993, and Susie Sprague, from 2002 to 2014.

People had previously reported in Nov. 2025 that Feldman and Mitchell had reached a "global settlement" which resolved key financial and legal questions before a judge signed off on the divorce.

The search for Nancy Guthrie is now stretching beyond U.S. borders.

A well-known volunteer group from Mexico, the Madres Buscadoras de Sonora (or the Searching Mothers of Sonora) has joined efforts to help locate the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie. Nancy was last seen January 31 at her Tucson, Arizona, home and is believed to have been kidnapped.

Founded by Cecilia Flores after two of her sons disappeared in 2015 and 2019, the Madres Buscadoras have become internationally recognized for their grassroots search efforts. According to CNN, the organization has located more than 5,000 missing people across Mexico, both alive and deceased. 

On the group’s Facebook page, which boasts over one million followers, members shared information about Nancy and urged anyone with tips to come forward.

“We are here to assist in any way we can,” Flores told the outlet “We will do everything in our power to help this family. Nancy is a mother who deserves to be reunited with her family.”

The group was allegedly called in to help by a friend of the Guthrie family, however their presence is not being welcomed by all locals. “The neighbors came out yelling at us and telling us to leave, that it was private property,” said one of the Madres, Lupita Tello. The group also added they are unable to conduct a proper search due to “the regulations here.”

Some members have reportedly traveled to the United States to assist in search efforts. However, local outlet AZPM reported that Mexican authorities have found no indication that Nancy was taken into Mexico. The group also applied for a permit to conduct a field search in Arizona, but CNN reported the request was denied by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which said it appreciated “their concern” but that the “work is best left to professionals.”

Meanwhile, scrutiny surrounding the investigation continues to mount. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has faced criticism from some law enforcement sources over the pace and direction of the case. Sgt. Aaron Cross, who is president of the Pima County Deputies Organization, told The Post on February 19, “It is a common belief in this agency that this case has become an ego case for Sheriff Nanos.”

In response, Nanos told Parade, “Right now, our focus is on this investigation and serving the victims and this community. Internal or political commentary distracts from this active investigation, and it is very unfortunate. My focus remains on justice and transparency.”

Nancy has been missing since February 1, and her family continues to eagerly wait for answers.
