Samuel Adams is brewing up nostalgia—and historically accurate beer—with a set of limited-edition drops.

This summer, in honor of the United States' semiquincentennial, the Boston-founded beer brand is celebrating with two variety packs: the Brewer Patriot Collection and Star Spangled Variety Pack, each of which are packed with exclusive brews that fans won't find in any other pack.

"The independent spirit that shaped America also fuels Samuel Adams," Jon London, senior director and head of beer at Boston Beer Company, teased in a statement, noting that the "historic summer" ahead is worthy of something that "[honors] the past and [raises] a glass to the future."

Sam Adams Brewer Patriot Collection Returns Just in Time to Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary

Initially released in 2006, the Sam Adams Brewer Patriot Collection is made with "historically inspired ingredients from the founding-era" that have been reimagined for modern drinkers. Featured in the pack are four brews: George Washington Porter, 1790 Hard Root Beer, James Madison Dark Wheat Ale and No. 3 Honey Ginger Ale.

• Summer Ale (5.3 percent ABV): Bright blend of orange, lime, and lemon peels, balanced with a subtle spice from grains of paradise, gives it a zesty, refreshing taste. A seasonal favorite.
• Porch Rocker (4.5 percent ABV): Bright, tangy, and undeniably refreshing, Porchrocker is our take on the classic German Radler—a crisp golden Helles lager blended with just the right amount of real lemon for a fresh-squeezed citrus kick.
• American Light (4.2 percent ABV): Pleasant floral hop notes balanced by a light sweetness for the perfect combo of flavor and easy drinking
• Blueberry Lager (5.5 percent ABV): Bursting with blueberry aroma, this refreshing lager delivers a bold, juicy burst of blueberry in an easy-drinking brew. It can only be found in the Star Spangled Variety Pack and puts a crisp twist on a flavor typically reserved for an ale (i.e. Blue Point's Blueberry Ale and Sea Dog's Blueberry Wheat Ale)—it also offers a fresh, fun and equally fruity option to the impossible to find Bapple.

Where Will the Limited-Edition Variety Packs Be Available?

Sam Adams said its Brewer Patriot Collection will be available as a four pack exclusively via the Give Them Beer website for $17.76 each, beginning today (May 28) but only while supplies last.

Its Star Spangled variety is available nationwide now in 12-packs (SRP: $17.99) and 24-packs (SRP: $29.99) at major retailers. To find it near you, try the official Sam Adams product locator.

Decades after George Carlin hosted the inaugural episode of Saturday Night Live, Tina Fey made history herself, becoming the first-ever host of SNL UK. Though following in Carlin's footsteps wasn't something that had crossed her mind at the time.

"Oh my gosh, I didn't think about it like that," she quipped in an exclusive interview with Parade. But, it certainly felt like she got to witness "something kind of historic."

"Hosting SNL UK was so much fun. I was so honored to be the first host," she gushed. "That cast is so talented, the writing staff. It was really kind of beautiful."

The UK adaptation of NBC's iconic sketch comedy show, which wrapped its 51st season earlier this month, debuted on March 21. Fey, a former cast member and head writer of the American version, wasn't the only SNL veteran involved in the lead-up to the premiere on Sky and NOW.

"I went there for like a total of three weeks to kind of help out a little bit. A bunch of the U.S. team came for those first couple shows," she revealed, including Saturday Night Live's head cue card holder Chris "Wally" Feresten.

"The cue card department had been trained by Wally, the head of cue cards from the New York show came," Fey continued. "[He] flew over and had trained them. They were all like super proud to show off how good they were at cue cards."

Wally's son was also on hand to help with training, which added another layer to the experience for Fey. "He's like, 'I'm Wally's son,'" she recalled. "I almost started crying because there's a lot of like familial and kind of institutional knowledge."

Since the premiere, Fey has continued watching SNL UK every week on Peacock, describing the show as "hilarious." The Emmy winner, who has hosted the American version six times to date, would be open to taking on hosting duties across the pond again.

"I would go anytime," she shared. However, Fey pointed out that the "plan was always for it to be really British now" and thinks the show "should probably just have" UK hosts for a long time.

Fellow SNL alum Will Forte agreed that the spinoff should be reserved for British hosts. "Except Will, you should go," Fey told him, before he began practicing a Beatles accent during their joint interview with Parade. "I take it back. I take it all back," she joked.

Forte praised SNL UK, saying it's "got an amazing spirit to it" and it's "really fun." For him, it was also "so fun to watch" his Four Seasons co-star host the London-based show. "That's the great thing about being a part of [Netflix's The Four Seasons], is like we're all big fans of each other," Forte said. "It's just this amazing collection of people, you get to see these amazing talents that they all have right up close, and it's just so fun. You also like hanging out with them. It's the best. What a job."

Season 2 of The Four Seasons premiered May 28 on Netflix

The Four Seasons, also starring Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani and Erika Henningsen, returned for its second season on May 28, with the group of friends continuing their tradition of taking seasonal trips together, while still grieving the loss of Nick and navigating relationships and friendships.

Season 2's heavier moments land so well alongside the comedy because, as Fey explained, that's "sort of how real life is." "That it's like never all one thing or the other," she said. "Humor is such a coping mechanism when things are heavy."

"Tina and the writers just do the best job of finding that grounded element of every situation and having the humor in it, it's like realistic," Forte added. "Most people when they're going through a scary moment or a sad moment, they might try to inject a little levity into it, and so like they just do such a good job of creating these moments that feel so real."

While her character Kate is questioning her purpose this season, Fey has a clear handle on her own these days, and The Four Seasons is a continuation of that. Reflecting on her purpose as she turned 56 on May 18, the Only Murders in the Building actress said, "To try to tell stories with my friends and hopefully bring those stories to other people who will feel comforted and entertained by them."

Season 2 of The Four Seasons is now streaming on Netflix.

The dark, psychological drama that is Criminal Minds: Evolution returns with our favorite members of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) back on the hunt for the nation’s most twisted and dangerous killers, when Season 19 returns tonight.

In addition to the new chilling cases investigated by the BAU, this season will also see the return of Elias Voit (Zach Gilford), aka Sicarius, who no longer a sociopath, embarks on a path to atone for his past sins. But it won’t be easy, because he’s inspired a new serial killer to follow in his footsteps, named "The Fan," so Voit is called upon to aid the BAU as it tracks down the new nemesis.

“I always felt like we had this unfinished business from Season 1 with Voit,” showrunner Erica Messer tells Parade. “Every time he was on his computer and talking to these other people in his network, I kept raising my hand in the room and being like “you guys, we have all these killers that we have never caught. What if…” and then that becomes a huge idea of how many are there and are they still active?”

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 

Voit, of course, has been locked away for several years, but the severe beating he took in prison caused him to wake up a changed man. And while the BAU thinks they caught the majority of Sicarius’ Network, they still need to make sure that that’s the case.

“I really felt it was important to dive back into that,” Messer continued. “This idea that there’s a Fan out there who maybe wants to emulate him – the copycat thing is very real in the serial killer world -- so, it felt like that was another avenue that we hadn’t been able to go down before.”

The 10-episode Season 19 will have a year time jump and will be a combination of cases of the week, combined with the overall season arc of tracking down The Fan.

“We wanted to have some of our character arcs live a little bit in the time between us seeing them on screen, most notably, JJ,” Messer explained. “She’s not still in the rawness of the grief of immediately losing Will, the aftermath of that that we felt in Season 18. Now it’s been a year and change when you consider he died in Episode 3. That will always be a part of her life, but now she has this other new chapter that she’s embarking on, which is sending a kid off to college and doing that without her spouse, who she thought would be there for those days. So, it was definitely keeping that idea alive of there’s something missing from this, but also life goes on, and now I’m going to have to adjust to sending my firstborn off to college.”

Criminal Minds: Evolution Sets Season 19 Premiere — Huge Time Jump Revealed After Shocking Cliffhanger

The time jump also allowed Voit to figure out who he was after his traumatic brain trauma, and how to survive in solitary, where he’s been confined as a result of his crimes. He is also having to learn to deal with his “fame,” because he’s now a well-known serial killer, like Ted Bundy, and he's doing interviews with Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) to document his story for the BAU, while David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) tries to keep his distance.

“One of the best things about Evolution is that we’re able to really spend more time with our heroes and their journeys and personal lives,” Messer said. “And it’s not even that we’re going home with them more; just that we learn more about them. And that is one of my favorite things about Evolution.”

And then there’s the good news. Criminal Minds: Evolution has already been picked up for its 20th season, so there’s more to come.

“When we wrote Season 19, we knew we wanted it to be not the same kind of cliffhanger we had done in the past, but definitely a ‘to be continued,’” Messer said. “So, there is a definite feeling like some things have been wrapped up and yet, there’s always going to be a case for us to solve.”

Criminal Minds: Evolution begins streaming new episodes today exclusively on Paramount+, with new episodes dropping each Thursday through the season finale on July 23. There are 10 episodes this season.

Chomps is taking snack culture to an entirely new level.

Thursday, May 28, the popular meat snack brand announced the launch of “Le Chic’ken,” a limited-edition purse inspired by the iconic plastic rotisserie chicken container found in grocery stores. The unusual accessory arrives just ahead of National Rotisserie Chicken Day on June 2 and was designed to celebrate the debut of Chomps’ new chicken stick lineup.

According to the company, fans will have a chance to win a Le Chic’ken bag filled with all three new chicken stick flavors beginning June 2 at 11 a.m. ET on Chomps.com. No purchase is necessary.

The bag is designed to resemble the familiar dome-shaped rotisserie chicken packaging, transforming the grocery store staple into what Chomps describes as a fashion-forward accessory built to hold both everyday essentials and snacks.

“Rotisserie chicken is a cultural obsession, and when we looked at what makes it so beloved, we saw so many similarities with Chomps: real ingredients, satisfying protein, and genuine convenience,” Stacey Hartnett, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Chomps, said in a statement.

“Now, with Le Chic'ken, it’s easy to look like a snack while eating your snacks. It's great for the runway or running errands, comes fully stocked with Chomps, and we're leaving no crumbs,” Hartnett added.

Tina Fey, known for her comedy writing and acting, has amassed one mean net worth as a result of her work on shows like Saturday Night Liveand 30 Rock, and thanks to hit movies like Mean Girls. But she wasn't always on easy street, financially speaking.

"I moved to Chicago in 1992 to study improv and it was everything I wanted it to be," she wrote in her 2011 book Bossypants. "It was like a cult. People ate, slept, and definitely drank improv. They worked at crappy day jobs just to hand over their money for improv classes."

She went on to detail how, as part of the touring company for the Second City, she made just $75 per show and $25 per diem. "Of course, sometimes you'd have a show in Kansas, so you'd have to ride in the van for two days to get to your seventy-five-dollar gig," she wrote. "It wasn't lucrative, but it was show business!"

A lot has changed since then. From her time on SNL to 30 Rock to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Fey has broken barriers for female comedians and made a butt-ton of money doing it. See how she got her start and what her net worth is today.

How did Tina Fey get her start?

Fey studied drama at the University of Virginia, and after graduating in 1992, moved to Chicago to take classes at the Second City comedy troupe. There, she learned improv comedy and joined the cast to perform.

Like many famous comedians, she got her first big break on Saturday Night Live. After she submitted samples to the show in ‘97, creator Lorne Michaels hired her on as a writer.

"My first week, I completely froze," Fey toldFresh Air’s Terry Gross. "I couldn't think of anything. It was just too fast a gear shift ... So I had some pieces that I had written trying to get the job, and I ended up turning them in. And the next week, I think I was able to write something and turn it in. And the week after that maybe, I wrote something that made its way to the dress rehearsal."

Once she got over those early jitters, Fey was very successful, earning a promotion to head writer in just a few years. She made her onscreen debut in the 2000-01 season, co-anchoring Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon, and later joined the cast as a regular.

"It's very fun to be a writer at Saturday Night Live, but it's more fun to do both," she said. "When you're a writer and you hit that after-show party, you're exhausted and you maybe combed your hair and you maybe bought yourself something at Ann Taylor. But if you're on the show, you're all fancy. So in that most basic level, it was an upgrade in the job."

Of course, moving in front of the screen also turned Fey into a household name. She was off to the races.

What is Tina Fey's net worth in 2026?

Tina Fey has an estimated net worth of $75 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Although she’s created some very notable shows and movies, including 30 Rock and Mean Girls, her total net worth is a product of the many writing, producing and acting credits she’s earned over the years.

What shows has Tina Fey created? 

Fey created 30 Rock, which ran for seven seasons on NBC, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which had a four-season run on Netflix. Her Netflix series The Four Seasons saw her return as star, co-creator and executive producer as well; its second season will premiere on May 28, 2026.

What was Tina Fey's salary at SNL?

Fey’s SNL salary isn’t public information, but the general cast salaries are. A first-year cast member can expect to make $3,000 to $7,000 per episode, which goes up to $4,000 to $8,000 in their second year, $15,000 by their fifth year and $25,000 for long-running, top-paid talent.

But those numbers aren't necessarily set in stone. Cast member Kenan Thompson is estimated to make between $2 and 3 million per year, a figure much larger than the supposed $25,000-per-episode limit (which would translate to $525,000 per year).

And because Fey, who was on the show from 1997 to 2006, also worked as a head writer during her SNL tenure, it’s even harder to guess what she might have been earning.

How much did Tina Fey make per episode of 30 Rock?

At the peak of 30 Rock, which she wrote, produced and starred in, Fey made $500,000 per episode, according to Celebrity Net Worth. So, for example, that would mean for Season 5, which included 23 episodes, she made $11.5 million.

What did Netflix pay Tina Fey for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

After NBC passed on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which follows a woman (played by Ellie Kemper) who escapes from a doomsday cult and starts life over in New York, Netflix snatched it up for an undisclosed amount.

It's safe to say that Fey was happy with her payday, as her relationship with the streamer remains strong to this day.

Netflix picked up the third season of Girls5Eva, which Fey executive-produced (though the series has since been canceled), and it's now home to her series The Four Seasons, which she stars in and also co-created and produces, and has been renewed for a second season.

What did Tina Fey get paid for Mean Girls?

Fey’s Mean Girls paycheck has also been kept under wraps. However, the movie was very commercially successful, making $130 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.

What did Tina Fey get paid for Baby Mama?

Fey reunited with fellow SNL and Weekend Update alum Amy Poehler to star in Baby Mama (2008), a comedy about an uptight, successful businesswoman (played by Fey) who pays a woman down on her luck (Poehler) to be her surrogate.

It’s unknown what Fey made from the role, but the film earned an impressive $60 million domestically on a $30 million budget.

What did Tina Fey make for writing Bossypants?

In 2011, Fey released her memoir, titled Bossypants, a humorous take on her life and how she achieved her childhood dream of becoming a comedian. Before the book hit shelves, she reportedly was paid a $6 million advance. She’s likely earned even more from the nearly 4 million copies sold.

Initial expectations weren’t so high, though. “My goal was just to avoid humiliation,” Fey told The Associated Press about the publishing of the memoir. “After years of writing character-based comedy in a group process with other writers, a book ‘about me written by me alone’ made me feel panicky and vulnerable. I kept telling my husband, ‘This is going to ruin me.’”

What did Tina Fey get paid for the Mean Girls musical movie?

Fey recently returned to the world of Mean Girls—and not for the first time. Since she wrote and starred in the iconic 2004 film version, she also adapted it into a Broadway musical in 2018. The two concepts were then mashed into a 2024 musical film, complete with a 13-song soundtrack.

Although Mean Girls rehashed a lot of what we know and love about the original, it was also a totally new interpretation. The goal was to connect to what was relevant in 2024 without losing itself too much in passing trends.

“I do sometimes run things by my kids,” Fey told USA Today. “Early on, there was conversation of, ‘Would the Burn Book still be a physical book or should it be a private Instagram?’ I knew what my instinct was, but I ran it by my kids. And my older daughter was like, ‘Yeah, no. Don't let those millennials overthink it!’”

While we don’t know Tina Fey’s paycheck for the new Mean Girls movie, it sounds like she had plenty of fun making it. And though the film received mixed reviews, it still grossed over $100 million worldwide on a $28 million budget.

What did Tina Fey get paid for hosting the Golden Globes?

Fey teamed up with Amy Poehler (clearly a popular duo) to host the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2021 Golden Globe Awards. When they were first announced as hosts in 2013, it was reported that they would make $4 million each for the gig. Their representatives later told Vanity Fairthat the number was "grossly exaggerated."

According to VF, pay for hosting an awards show like the Golden Globes is usually, at the most, in the low six figures.

What does Tina Fey make for The Four Seasons?

It isn’t currently known how much Tina Fey is paid for her work on The Four Seasons. Some reports suggest that the show’s budget is between $2 and 3 million per episode, and with Fey as co-creator, writer and star of the series, it’s likely that she would receive a good portion of that amount.

A regular, non-insulated tote can only do so much once it’s sitting in a hot car, and a hard cooler can be too bulky and heavy. This soft cooler is the perfect happy medium, offering room for drinks, sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and ice packs, all while being easier to carry to the beach, a picnic table, a campsite, or the sidelines of a game.

One reviewer called it the “perfect cooler bag,” describing it as a “must buy” that “holds so much and keeps our stuff very cold.” “The zipper is a very sturdy one as well,” they added, noting, “It's lightweight and durable.” Another person said it was “easy to transport with the shoulder strap,” it “didn't leak,” and it’s “easy to store.”

Plus, since it’s so compact and foldable, it won’t take up much room, yet it still feels spacious.

Life often feels like a competition, especially in show business. A new reality show in the works has the end goal of becoming a soap opera star, believe it or not.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives producer Jeff Jenkins is now developing The Bold and the Unscripted, Variety reports, a new competition series in which contestants vie to appear on The Bold and the Beautiful — with the ultimate winner receiving a recurring role on the soap.

"The Bold and the Beautiful has been doing what they do for 40 years, they just launched their app, with 3,900 episodes available to watch. So we’ve partnered with [executive producer] Brad Bell on this format that we’re taking out," Jenkins, 58, told Variety in an interview article published Wednesday, May 27. "I think it’s going to be such a fun show, very unexpected. I’ve never seen anything like it. And frankly, that’s also what gets me out of bed, taking buyers’ opportunities that they haven’t heard before. I don’t want to bring you the 300th version of Real Housewives."

Here’s the upcoming series' official logline, in part: "The Bold and the Unscripted (working title) will bring together a group of reality TV stars, all with thespian aspirations, on the iconic soap opera’s actual studio lot and soundstages to compete for weekly opportunities to secure speaking roles and guest spots on The Bold and the Beautiful."

Jenkins also weighed in on how to survive in the unscripted world in this day and age, where things seem to keep changing.

"I think it all goes back to very basic tent poles that we all know. It comes back to storytelling and characters you want to spend time with," he told Variety. "The challenge now is, how do we find them? Because the pond has been very fished. How do we find new subculture or character types, and how do we match that with the kind of zeitgeist interest that the public has?"

Dolly Parton continues to delight fans, but this time it's beyond the spotlight and the concert stage.

Despite the major changes regarding her upcoming activities, the country star revealed an exciting new venture, which she called Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop.

In a joint Instagram post, the one-of-a-kind destination will showcase a Dolly Parton-themed highway oasis and travel center.

Scheduled to officially open on June 24, the travel stop is located in Cornersville, TN and is perfectly positioned between Nashville and Huntsville, making it ideal for travelers who are visiting the area.

“Mark your calendars! Dolly’s very first Tennessean Travel Stop officially opens June 24 in Cornersville, TN, welcoming travelers from near and far to experience a brand-new roadside destination built around comfort, care and Tennessee hospitality.”

According to the post, Parton’s new venture will not just feature the music icon’s exclusive merchandise, but guests can also enjoy a sit-down cafe, entertainment experience via live music and a dog park for the fur babies.

“Located at exit 22 off I-65, guests can enjoy DLY BBQ, a fresh cup of Dolly’s Cup of Ambition Coffee, custom merch and a full-service restaurant, all inspired by the spirit of the open road. Additional details on grand opening festivities will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The comment section was filled with reactions from fans who couldn't wait to visit the area.

“Can’t wait for this!” a follower said.

“Ain’t nothing Dolly can’t do with her cup full of ambition!” a commenter added.

The same goes for others who love the singer’s unique idea.

“Like a dolly version of Buck-ee’s,” one wrote.

“A dolly-fied buc-ee’s is the most in thing I have seen in a long time. Can’t disrespect this woman’s grind tho, we love u queen,” a fan echoed.

The “9 to 5” hitmaker’s announcement came weeks after she canceled her scheduled Las Vegas residency shows set for September.

“The bad news is, it’s going to take me a little while before I’m up to stage-performance level because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit swimmy-headed, as my grandma used to say,” she mentioned in a video posted on her Instagram. Adding “And of course, I can’t be dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars and such on five-inch heels — and you know that I’m going to be wearing them. Not to mention, all those heavy rhinestone outfits, the big hair, my big … uh, personality. Lord, those — that would make anybody swimmy headed!”

The bold decision was due to Parton’s ongoing health challenges despite recovering from recurring kidney stones as well as digestive and immune system complications.

Eve Plumb made a surprising revelation about her years on The Brady Bunch. The actress, who played middle daughter Jan Brady on the classic ABCsitcom from 1969 to 1974, told The Morning Showin a new interview that she never felt famous until the cast started performing music ahead of the final season of the show.

“Well, we really never felt like big stars,” Plumb, 68, told the outlet in May 2026. “[The Brady Bunch] never really hit the big ratings. It was never really well thought of in the critiques. Everybody sort of looked down on it as fluff and not serious fare.”

Plumb added that it wasn’t until she and her Brady siblings— Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, and Susan Olsen—began recording music and promoting it that they felt famous.

“So we did realize we were very popular once we started making albums, and we would go out and sign records at a department store on the weekends, and we would get a huge crowd,” she revealed. “That was when we realized that, yes, it was very popular. But no one at the time, no adult would admit to actually watching The Brady Bunch.”

The Brady Bunch became a musical group following the success of another ABC TV clan, The Partridge Family. In July 1973, the Brady Six even performed at a live concert at the Hollywood Bowl.

Lookinland, who played youngest son Bobby Brady, told Yahoo Entertainment there was a time when The Brady Bunch kids were being eyed as the new Partridges.

“Tony Orlando opened for us at the Minnesota State Fair,” Lookinland cracked. “The Fifth Dimension was there too, if I'm not mistaken. Tony Orlando came to me after the show, after seeing me perform ‘Johnny B. Goode,’ and he said to me, ‘Kid, you're gonna be a star.’"

During an appearance on the Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan podcast, youngest child Olsen recalled when she realized the cast was famous.

"The screaming kids [in the audience] didn't happen until we went out, you know, with the music,” she said. “And so we had been kind of sheltered…. But we didn't really know that we were that popular until we went out on the road.”

Unfortunately, pop star fame was not meant to be. Once the Brady Bunch ended, so did the kids’ musical act.

“We were going on concert tour, believe it or not.  And there was so much fame. ... And the fame, you know, having people come up to us…,” Olsen shared. “When the show ended… we were still going to continue the music, but Barry wanted to do his own solo thing. And Maureen wasn't into it. And Chris quit before the show was cancelled. …So yeah, at the time I was like, ‘Oh, you're breaking up the band.’ But I thoroughly understand.”

The Shark TurboBlade fan isn't just your regular bladeless fan. In fact, it's the ultimate fan for living rooms and bedrooms—especially if you care equally about power and aesthetics. I live in the UK, a place without AC, so I've tested my fair share of fans from Dreo to Dyson. This one knocks all of the others out of the park, though. So much so that it's now officially my bedroom fan. It's the perfect size, offers so many speeds and mode options, and it sits nicely in my bay window.

Our bedroom is the warmest room in the entire house. Second to that is our living room. Since my Dyson has been moved downstairs to keep our pug, Doug, cool, the Shark TurboBlade has pride of place in our bedroom. Available in three colorways—Blush, Charcoal and Dove—it's super stylish, safe for use around kids and suitable for use anywhere in your house. This is thanks to its intuitive design, which provides vertical or horizontal cooling, depending on the size of your space.

The Shark TurboBlade Fan is usually $269.99, but right now it's on sale at Shark for less than $200, which is a total steal. The fan works in both small and large rooms, thanks to its customizable height design. While it's not a tabletop fan, it is definitely the best tower fan around—and the most impressive one I've ever tested. I've already managed to convince my family members to buy it for the summer.

Shark TurboBlade Fan—Ultra-customizable bladeless tower fan, pivots, twists, oscillates 180°, circulates and propels air, 10 noise levels + 10 speeds, easy to clean, dove, TF202SWH Check Price What Is the Shark Turbo Blade Fan?

The Shark TurboBlade is a bladeless fan, designed for inside use and to sit on the floor. Admittedly, it might overwhelm a tiny room, but it's quite compact in vertical mode while sitting at its lowest height. Yes, its special design means it can sit horizontally or vertically, expanding the space it can cool. It also oscillates 180° and has two twistable vents so you can control the airflow to reach every corner of your room.

You can point these vents towards the floor or up towards your ceiling, to cool even more of your space. The fan also claims to propel air up to 80ft, should you be lucky enough to have a room that large.

This fan can be controlled with a handy remote, which magnetically attaches to the fan for storage purposes. The remote buttons are pretty intuitive, but a Quick Start Guide is included in the box, and it explains each button.

The Shark TurboBlade has 10 speeds and 10 noise levels, plus three modes: Sleep, BreezeBoost and NaturalBreeze. You can even set it on a timer for 1-12 hours. While this is admittedly a lot, once you get used to this fan's remote and find the modes that fit your lifestyle, you'll be a pro.

The best part about it? Beyond its power, cleaning your fan is no longer a hefty chore, as this one's design boasts a special dust-defense panel that can be removed and easily cleaned. The only thing I could moan about is that it's not smart. You can't control it via Wi-Fi, so you do need to make sure that you never lose that remote.

What I think of the Shark TurboBlade Fan

I've used this fan in my bedroom to keep us cool while sleeping when the temperature outside is soaring. We're in the midst of the hottest May on record in the UK, and this fan has truly been a lifesaver. In particular, its BreezeBoost mode was something to really rave about as it's a lifesaver when you're really struggling to cool down—but it is noisy, so you may struggle to hear the TV over it.

I also loved the NaturalBreezemode, which simulates a natural wind, making this setting gentle enough to sleep with. On warmer nights, we tended to set the fan to a 5-6 and found that this was great for power and noise level. Unlike other tower fans that only sit vertically, requiring oscillation to reach every corner of a bed, this one can sit horizontally, and in this setup, its airflow can reach the entire bed. No need for oscillation, so you never have to be without a direct breeze hitting your face during your snooze.

You can also angle its vents upwards or downwards, which is a game-changer when you want to cool something towards the floor, such as my dopey dog, Doug, who never knows what to do with himself in a heatwave.

I also love this fan's design, and the fact that it comes in three colorways. I've occasionally found myself dragging it down my stairs to cool me down while I'm working from my kitchen, and it has a handle to easily do so—thankfully, it's not heavy at all. I like that it can sit higher or lower, so in smaller bedrooms, such as my daughter's nursery, I set it on its lowest height to reach into her cot. Once you get the hang of the remote and its buttons, you're set, but initially, you may find it confusing. I kept the sticker that came on the fan on my nightstand for quite some time, to remind me what to press.

Coming to Shark soon is an upgraded version of this fan that also heats—the TurboBlade Cool + Heat—which you can use year-round.

If you're a Disney traditionalist who considers the Magic Kingdom's most nostalgic rides to be absolutely sacred, take a deep breath. Behind the scenes, the master planners at Walt Disney World are quietly investing hundreds of millions of dollars each year into keeping their most iconic, historic experiences feeling fresh, immersive and beautifully maintained. In fact, a massive team of more than 4,000 skilled Cast Members across 15 different trades work entirely overnight and out of sight to ensure the parks' existing assets get the exact same rigorous care as brand-new lands.

We’ve already seen these massive updates pay off with recent modernizations at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin (where guest satisfaction scores have spiked a whopping 15 points post-refurbishment) and across refreshed resort rooms at places like Port Orleans—Riverside and Bay Lake Tower. But now, Disney is officially turning its attention to the ultimate piece of theme park history.

Prepare yourselves: Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress is officially getting a top-to-bottom storyline makeover, closing its doors temporarily on July 6, 2026, with a grand reopening slated for early 2027.

A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Gets a Nostalgic Reset

For over 60 years, this rotating theater show—originally created by Walt Disney himself as a smash hit for the 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair—has stood as the ultimate tribute to American innovation, family and optimism. But as the years have rolled on, the final "modern" scene (last updated in 1993) has begun to feel a bit more like a retro time capsule than a true glimpse into the future.

To honor Walt's original vision that the show was designed to celebrate change rather than stand perfectly still, Imagineers are introducing a brilliant new timeline change. According to an announcement on the Disney Parks Blog, the entire attraction will be updated to feature eras that modern audiences have deep, personal connections to.

The biggest addition? An incredible new opening act featuring a state-of-the-art Audio-Animatronic of Walt Disney himself, inspired by his 1964 television special Disneyland Goes to the World’s Fair. Imagineers have spent months meticulously replicating vintage props for the scene, from a prototype Enchanted Tiki Room bird to a miniature model of the legendary Tower of the Four Winds.

"The introduction of a new Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney in ‘Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress’ marks an exciting milestone in our shared mission to celebrate the story of the man behind the magic and inspire new generations with his innovations and vision for the future," Executive Director of the Walt Disney Family MuseumKirsten Komorosketold fans at the D23 event last year.

New Decades, Same Family Dynamics (And Yes, Rover is Safe!)

From there, the rotating theater will take guests through entirely fresh, decades-based scenes that will hit close to home for generations of visitors:

• Act 1 (The 1960s): The story kicks off in the summer of 1969, where the family gathers around a vintage television set to witness the historic Apollo moon landing.
• Act 2 (The 1980s): Set on Halloween night in 1985, matriarch Sarah finally takes center stage to showcase the high-tech, neon-hued kitchen appliances making life easier, while Uncle Orville complains about a total lack of privacy in the bathroom.
• Act 3 (The New Millennium): The family rings in New Year’s Eve in 1999, navigating the wild early days of dial-up internet while Grandma secretly flips the television over to watch pro wrestling.

And what about the final scene? Don't worry—John, Sarah, the kids and their fiercely loyal, multi-generational dog Rover aren't going anywhere. In fact, Act 4 will project the family into "The Possible Future," settling them into a high-tech home located entirely off-planet. Inspired by original, mid-century concept sketches by legendary Disney artist John Hench, the finale imagines a space-traveling future where helpful companion robots handle daily chores, proving that a beautiful tomorrow is still just a dream away.

Jennifer Lopez has spent the better part of 2026 in full comeback mode with a Netflixrom-com premiering June 5, a press tour in full swing, and a premiere at the Egyptian Theatre. But when she sat down with Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night, the moment that had the most impact had nothing to do with Office Romance.

Lopez's 18-year-old twins, Emme and Max, are heading to college in the fall. And she is, by her own admission, a complete wreck about it.

'Don't talk about it because we start crying,' she told Kimmel when he brought up the milestone. 'I've been crying for two months.'

The twins, whom Lopez shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, are not only going to different schools, they graduated at different times as well. One of them walked the stage the morning after the interview aired. Lopez said she had spent months telling everyone around her that she was fine with it, that she wanted her kids to launch, that she was excited for them.

Then came the yearbook ad.

'Oh my god. When I tell you the tears...two days it took me to write those things,' she said. When Kimmel asked whether she'd written two separate messages or one shared entry for both twins, Lopez looked at him like he'd suggested combining their birthdays. 'Oh, Jimmy. No.'

She confirmed she will be moving them into their dorms herself (yes, including transporting the sheets from home) and remains convinced they will miss her cooking and come back quickly. Kimmel gently suggested that's not how it usually goes.

The conversation then moved to Office Romance, in which Lopez plays a high-powered airline CEO who falls for the company's new in-house lawyer, played by Ted Lasso Emmy winner Brett Goldstein. Goldstein co-wrote the script with Joe Kelly, and Lopez revealed the pitch that closed the deal.

'He sent a note that said, 'You're at the top of our list. It's a list of one. If you don't do the movie, we're not making it,' she told Kimmel. She'd gone in expecting Roy Kent and got something entirely different. 'He came in and he was just like, 'Hello.' And I was like, 'Oh, you're so sweet and kind.' It was such a beautiful surprise.'

Kimmel also floated the idea of Lopez becoming the next Bachelorette. She declined with some force.

'Are you crazy? I'm not doing anything to ruin how I feel right now,' she said. When he pointed out it seems hard for her to meet people otherwise, she was unbothered. 'I'll meet somebody somewhere one day. I'm good right now.'

Office Romance premieres June 5 on Netflix. The twins' colleges have not been disclosed.

She continued, "Some of you seem very concerned about the silver in my hair. But let me just say, there are some things that come along in life that I've just decided to embrace. And that doesn't include boxed hair dye."

Heaton then pointed out, "So, yeah. The people in my life love me no matter what color my hair is. And maybe we could all use a little more of just accepting what is and being grateful."

Curiosity Tied to Aging Well

If you continued reading, chances are you already have the trait that some preliminary research on well-being and aging says is a must: Curiosity. While it may have killed the cat, some say remaining open and curious about things like the unknown and what comes next can improve your life.

That includes everything from getting excited about a new show to being curious about traveling to new places. It also means being able to be surprised by things. This is something Bolde calls intellectual humility, meaning you're able to admit you may not really know how everything works.

Curiosity May Help Offset Alzheimer's and Depression

A 2025 paper by UCLA researchers, published in PLOS One, claims that curiosity tends to decline as we age. However, those who stick with it and continue to seek knowledge and new activities can stay sharper than their counterparts. "Our findings fit with some of my work on selectivity theory, which is that as we get older, we don’t want to stop learning, we’re just more selective about what we want to learn," one of the study's authors said. "You see this in the context of lifelong learning: A lot of older adults will go back to take classes or pick up hobbies or engage in bird watching. I think it shows that this level of curiosity, if maintained, can really keep us sharp as we age."

That curiosity can not only keep you feeling relevant but also help you feel happier. That's because those who follow their curiosity tend to be a bit more engaged with the outside world, which opens them up to greater socialization during their senior years. Not only that, but it allows you to keep using all the skills you've amassed over your life, which could potentially lead to feeling a bit more fulfilled with purpose than those seniors who don't feel like they are achieving anything in retirement.

Of course, everyone is different, and it's possible that some folks don't feel very curious but still feel fulfilled. That being said, it seems like researchers are uncovering a connection between the two, so if you're on the opposite end of the spectrum and feeling a bit lost in retirement, finding something that piques your interest could be just what the doctor ordered.

Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa has reignited her feud with Real Housewives of Orange County alum Kelly Dodd after sharing a pointed new video that seemingly alludes to the latest controversy surrounding the reality star.

The latest clash comes months after the plastic surgeon publicly called out Kelly over her defense of Real Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin following backlash tied to comments about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowlhalftime show. Their online war quickly escalated, with Dr. Dhivya accusing Kelly of racist behavior in a viral video, while Kelly threatened legal action after claiming she lost brand deals.

View this post on Instagram

In the latest video, Dr. Dhivya doubled down on her feud with Kelly, mocking her while responding to accusations that someone had been recording Kelly’s Instagram Lives and sending them to her. "Are any of you going to admit to recording her lives and sending them to me in my DMs with every possible version of Kelly Dodd sounding more unintelligent than a sober Kash Patel?" the doctor joked, adding, “I’ve actually never, not even once, recorded one of your lives. Who even does lives anymore? It’s like geriatric social media.”

The surgeon claimed Kelly’s own followers were responsible for sending her clips since Kelly had blocked her. “Followers that you have left, they’re just there to record the dumb s—t you say so they can then send it to me,” she quipped, calling it “literally just become an American hobby.”

Dr. Dhivya also fired back after Kelly questioned her medical career and referenced an alleged lawsuit against her practice, which she says was dismissed. “Funny thing is, Kelly, for someone who sues people or threatens to sue people as much as you do, you’d think you would be intimately familiar with cases that get dismissed because they’re so baseless,” she said.

The video also included clips of Kelly repeatedly threatening legal action, with Dr. Dhivya joking, “At least you can’t record Instagram Lives in jail,” seemingly alluding to the latest allegations surrounding Kelly.

Armored Saint dropped a surprising treat for fans following the release of their much-awaited album Emotion Factory Reset.

The heavy metal band, consisting of their current lineup vocalist John Bush, bassist Joey Vera, guitarists Phil Sandoval and Jeff Duncan and drummer Gonzo Sandoval, is celebrating their newly released ninth studio album with an upcoming tour.

In an Instagram post, the "Can U Deliver" hitmaker shared the exciting news to fans, announcing that they will be hitting the road starting in November.

Touring across the United States, Armored Saint is scheduled to kick off the tour with a two-day show in California, followed by Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and more before wrapping up with a string of shows in California in the third week of November.

Billed as The Metal Saint Tour 2026, the five-piece band will headline the event alongside Metal Church.

In addition, the bands are building excitement by inviting thrash metal band Live Kill as their special guest.

Following the announcement, Armored Saint’s John Bush teased fans about what to look forward to for the highly anticipated tour.

“Two classic metal bands from the ’80s on tour together doing headline sets and both with brand new awesome records out [Armored Saint with Emotion Factory Reset and Metal Church with Dead To Rights],” he said, as cited by Blabbermouth, adding “If you call yourself a metalhead and you don’t come to this show when we roll into your town, you’d better have a damn good excuse.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Today Food Tip Sparked Instant Reactions @todayshow

Gwyneth Paltrow stopped by TODAY to share her recipe for turkey meatballs, and shared a unique substitute to make it dairy free.

During the Today segment, Gwyneth Paltrow explained that she avoids dairy in her turkey meatballs and uses chopped arugula as a replacement. She acknowledged that the idea might sound strange at first, but said it creates a lighter texture while still keeping the meatballs flavorful.

The reaction online was immediate because many viewers could not understand how leafy greens could replace dairy. Dairy ingredients like Parmesan or ricotta are often used in meatballs to add richness and moisture, so the idea of swapping in arugula sounds absurd.

Still, there may be more logic behind the idea than people initially think. Arugula is not nutritionally equivalent to dairy and does not provide the same fat or protein content. However, it can add moisture and texture to dishes. Some home cooks pointed out online that adding vegetables to meatballs is not actually uncommon. Ingredients like zucchini, spinach or cauliflower rice are often mixed into meatballs to keep them tender.

Gwyneth Paltrow Has a History of Unusual Food Habits

Part of the reason this moment spread so quickly online is that Gwyneth Paltrow already has a reputation for sharing unconventional food and wellness habits. Over the years, her wellness brand Goop has sparked plenty of debate for promoting unusual health trends and expensive lifestyle products.

The actress has also gone viral before for her personal eating habits, including oatmeal paired with orange juice, which many people online found confusing. Because of that history, viewers were especially quick to react to her newest 'Today Show' food advice.

At the same time, unusual celebrity cooking tips tend to spread quickly online because they create instant conversation. Whether people loved the idea or hated it, Paltrow's arugula meatball suggestion succeeded in getting everyone talking.

Recently, Dave Ramsey, host of the Ramsey Show, told a caller she should stop her Debt Snowball program to stack up her cash instead. The emotional caller is stuck with a house she can’t afford, but Ramsey offered some positive advice. 

View this post on Instagram A High Mortgage

The caller is a new mom who recently lost all three of her part-time data entry jobs. She’s been unable to find additional work, which means her husband is doing upwards of 30 hours of overtime a week just to bring home enough for their high mortgage. 

Initially, the caller said that her parents were supposed to split the over $6,000-a-month mortgage with her and her husband, but after they closed, her dad said he made no such promise. This has left the couple, who have a 7-month-old baby, saddled with a house payment they can’t afford. 

To make it worse, they can’t seem to sell their house. They’ve already dropped the price, but it hasn’t moved. Other options offered to them will mean they either lose money or risk their husband’s job.

Dave’s Advice

Ramsey told the caller to pause her Debt Snowball payments right now to stack up her cash. He praised the way she’s been able to keep paying off debt during this economically difficult time. He told her she could use the extra cash to “write a check and get out of this house.”

George Kamel was also on the call and asked the caller if she had a budget. She does, and she stated they’re able to stash away around $1,200 a month extra. Kamel also told her to start selling off the things the family wouldn’t be taking on the move. “Might as well clear some rooms out, make some money off Facebook Marketplace,” Kamel said.

Ending On A High Note
