1970 Power Ballad Named No. 1 Hit Song Became a Breakup Anthem
In 1970, Badfinger recorded a song that would go on to become one of the most enduring breakup anthems in modern music.
Their track, "Without You," showcased the band's remarkable ability to translate raw emotion into melody, capturing the devastation of lost love with striking simplicity. The song gained widespread recognition over time and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, reinforcing its status as one of the most powerful ballads of its era.
Written by band members Pete Ham and Tom Evans, "Without You" was born from personal experiences and emotional honesty. Its lyrics, centered on longing, regret and heartbreak, resonated deeply with listeners, while its soaring chorus elevated it into something unforgettable. Unlike many songs of the time, it avoided elaborate storytelling in favor of a direct, universal expression of loss.
Badfinger, one of the first acts signed to The Beatles' Apple Records label, were known for their melodic songwriting and polished sound. Often associated with the power pop movement, the band blended rock sensibilities with emotional depth, and "Without You" remains one of their most iconic compositions.
"We were going as The Iveys when we joined Apple to make some demo tapes," said Ham in a 1971 interview. "That was when Badfinger was born. Joey [Molland] joined us about then and we decided to start again with a new name. It was then that we did 'Come And Get It' which became a hit. Just before then we had done a song called 'Maybe Tomorrow which we thought was going to be very successful but it wasn't."
Though the song would later be reinterpreted by other artists, the foundation of "Without You" lies in Badfinger's original recording, a testament to their songwriting strength. Over the decades, it has been covered multiple times, each version reinforcing the song’s timeless appeal.
More than 50 years after its release, "Without You" continues to resonate across generations, standing as a defining example of how a simple, heartfelt song can leave a lasting cultural impact.

Director of Anne Hathaway's Upcoming Film Reveals Taylor Swift Was His Inspiration
Taylor Swift even inspires our favorite directors.
Starring Anne Hathaway and directed by David Lowery, their upcoming film Mother Mary follows a pop star named Mother Mary (Hathaway) who cancels her tour and reunites with her former designer and best friend, Sam (Michaela Coel). The musical thriller explores the themes of art and obsession, buried trauma and toxic friendship dynamics. Others starring include Hunter Schafer, FKA twigs and Kaia Gerber, and songs written by Charli xcx and Jack Antonoff are included in the film.
On Tuesday afternoon, Empire published its interview with Lowery, who revealed the main inspiration behind the concert scenes and film art for Mother Mary. To people's surprise, the 45-year-old director's inspiration was Taylor Swift, specifically her concert movie for her Reputation Stadium Tour, which ran from May to November 2018, and supported her sixth studio album with the same name. The film, Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour, was released exclusively on Netflix on New Year's Eve in 2018, a month after the tour concluded.
“Her Reputation concert film is one of the best concert films ever. It's truly phenomenal. And for our concert sequences, we looked at that repeatedly,” Lowery told the publication. “You would not believe the amount of time we were talking about Taylor.”
Taylor Swift performs at her Reputation Stadium Tour in Japan presented by Fujifilm instax at Tokyo Dome on November 21, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan.Lowery continued explaining that he used Reputation as "a guide" because they had to find a way to pull off a stadium concert show under a tight budget.
"We took three songs from Reputation and broke it down, shot by shot, and looked at them like, 'Okay, if we were doing these, how much would these shots cost to do in visual effects?'" he explained. “We used that as a budgeting tool, because we didn't know how to wrap our heads around actually pulling off a stadium concert-show on a minimal budget."
Hathaway is also a big fan of the "Shake It Off" singer, and was seen trading friendship bracelets and singing along in the VIP section at one of the Eras Tour stops in Germany back in July 2024. Lowery revealed that he attended that concert with Hathaway, and she gave the director a friendship bracelet that spells "Anti-Hero," referring to one of Swift's songs in her album, Midnights, after Mother Mary wrapped.
"I definitely brought a lot of Taylor Swift to the table in terms of who Mother Mary was," he told the publication. "I would often be like, 'Imagine Taylor Swift in ten or 15 years – that’s sort of who this character could be.'"

Lowery is best known as a writer and director, credited for many films including The Green Knight (2021), Pete's Dragon (2016), A Ghost Story (2017), Peter Pan and Wendy (2023) and Pioneer (2011). His latest film, Mother Mary, will be in theaters on April 17.

1977 James Bond Theme Song by Folk-Pop Icon Became the Ultimate Love Anthem
A 1977 James Bond theme song by Carly Simon found its way to the top of the charts and into the hearts of lovers around the globe.
"Nobody Does it Better," the theme song from the Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, was composed by Marvin Hamlisch with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager. The power ballad was the first Bond theme song to be titled differently from the name of the film since 1962's Dr. No. (However, you can hear the phrase "the spy who loved me" later in the song.)
In the film, Roger Moore stars as James Bond as he's assigned to investigate the theft of two submarines. He battles an evil megalomaniac, Stromberg, who is working to destroy the world, and teams up with Anya Amasova, a Soviet KGB agent, played by the legendary Barbara Bach.
To see Simon sing the beloved song, check out her performance below:
What's Barbara Bach Up to These Days?Bach, 79, is thriving these days. Married to Beatles legend Ringo Starr, the stunner doesn't really appear onscreen anymore. However, she was spotted out and about by Globe Magazine back in November in Beverly Hills, and looked absolutely stunning while doing something as minor as feeding a parking meter. If you can make that look glamorous, then you've certainly made it!
What Does it Take to be a Bond Girl?Another legendary Bond Girl, Britt Ekland, has plenty of thoughts about the women who carry on that legacy like her and Bach. Ekland told the UK’s Times that the right woman “should be attractive … chosen for her natural beauty. And she should be athletic.”
“I think that’s very important because the role generally involves running, jumping, and a little bit of fighting. It involves moving your body,” Ekland continued.
The actress has strong feelings about the issues because she’s just so proud of the legacy. It’s also a tremendous responsibility to carry.
“I’m the proudest Bond girl there is because there are not a lot of us left, and there won’t be any in the future,” Ekland told The Guardian back in 2020. In the past, she pointed out in a piece in The Independent that modern Bond girls have it harder than she did since there are “so many demands” on them.
“The Bond girl has to look good in a bikini: that was her role … The Bond girl of my era exists no more because they’re not presented that way. You wouldn’t see her in a bikini next to Daniel Craig in a suit today,” Ekland said. “The PR department would make sure that didn’t happen.”
Who Won 'Jeopardy' Today? (April 7, 2026) Plus, the Final Jeopardy Answer
There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.
Here's a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.
Jamie Ding wins his 18th consecutive game on Tuesday, April 7, crossing the $500,000 milestone with a new total of $530,372 in regular-play winnings.
Who are the Jeopardy contestants today?Kevin IannoneKevin Iannone is a trivia host from Flagstaff, Arizona.

Jamie DingAnother day, another top performance from the hottest player in Jeopardy! right now, Jamie Ding. Season 42 continues to deliver must-watch television, and the bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, continues to be the reason why.
He officially hit a major milestone, crossing the $500,000 mark in regular-play winnings, cementing his place among the show’s all-time greats.
It wasn't Ding's flashiest performance, as he stumbled on the first two Daily Doubles of the game, but his buzzer speed and depth of knowledge were more than enough to build a commanding runaway lead heading into Final Jeopardy. The 17-day returning champion came into the game with $494,012 in total winnings and was just $5,988 away from the half-million-dollar milestone.

1977 Hot 100 Hit Released 49 Years Ago Became a Timeless Classic
This month in 1977, Rufus and Chaka Khan's single "Hollywood" was released, and it remains a timeless classic 49 years later.
The track, part of the legendary music stars' critically acclaimed album, Ask Rufus, has often been noted as one of their best songs, on one of their most polished and highly regarded projects.
Written by band members Andre Fischer and David Wolinski, the song serves as a cautionary tale about the elusive nature of Hollywood and the entertainment industry, warning of selling your soul to achieve fame—a dangerous and uneven exchange. "Painted faces, sunburnt skin / Fixed expressions, smiles worn thin / Caught in the blink of neon of Hollywood / Bending battles, maneuvering schemes / False impressions, washed up dreams / Everybody makes believe in Hollywood, Hollywood," the poignant lyrics express.
It was later covered by other soul artists, including Erykah Badu for the soundtrack of Spike Lee's 2000 satirical musical film Bamboozled, and was also interpolated for India.Arie's "Little Things."
Celebrating the anniversary, Khan took to Instagram to honor the track. "This month in 1977, the single 'Hollywood' by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan was released from the album ASK RUFUS. It would peak at #3 on the Billboard R&B Chart and at #32 on the Hot 100," the caption on the April 7 upload read.

Fans quickly hopped into the comments section of the social media upload to chime in on the impact of the hit.
"Her best album with Rufus 🔥," one insisted, while another raved, "One of my favorite albums of all time ❤️❤️❤️❤️."
"Genius. Favorite Rufus joint 🔥," a third added.
More comments read, "No skips! My favorite Rufus album! ❤️," "this whole album is on another level," "I still have my ALBUM 😍," "Timeless❤️," "Top of my list ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️," and "...one of the SOUNDTRACKS of my CHILDHOOD 💙."
Meanwhile, someone else was convinced, "This is literally the greatest album made in my eyes 😮💨 Easily my favorite."
'Forbidden Fruits' Costume Designer Addresses Fashion Brand Behind Film Stars' Campy Looks
Forbidden Fruits was not only an eccentric cult classic in the making, but it also produced some of the most memorable costume designs of the year.
The 2026 film is a horror-satire focused on a group of girls who are Free Eden saleswomen by day and witchy cult members by night. When new recruit Pumpkin joins the group, she begins breaking apart the dynamic bit by bit until horrifying secrets are revealed.
The Free Eden sales associates, each named after a fruit, are distinct characters crafted to provide commentary on the unique and complex nature of female friendships. Dressing these characters in pieces that represented their specific identities was a task for the best in the industry.

The mastermind behind the Free Eden girls' wardrobes was none other than Sarah Millman, who entered the project with a limited budget and a clear vision. In the early stages of production, an unlikely collaborator reached out to sponsor the film's looks: American Eagle. The brand not only financially supported the costume budget but also aided the department by supplying foundational pieces for each girl, grounding them in a core aesthetic.
In a recent Variety interview, Millman admitted that having a mall brand support the project was instrumental in establishing the film's setting. “A mall brand was helping fund a movie about a mall,” Millman said. “It really just grounded the film in the mall."
Despite the assistance from American Eagle, building costume designs was still a tedious task. Planning for the looks began weeks before production as Millman worked with her team to accumulate pieces that would anchor the girls to their specific visual identity.
Alongside American Eagle items, nearly a third of the film's costume pieces were sourced from thrift stores, curating the perfect “campy, Y2K, a little bit vintage inspired” aesthetic. These eccentric outfits aided in building characterization, portraying the girls as natural saleswomen with a knack for fashion.
Fans can currently browse looks similar to the Free Eden girls' wardrobes on the American Eagle website.

1978 'Best Slasher Movie Ever' Director is Launching 2 New Podcasts
To quote the Scream killer, what's your favorite scary movie?
A popular choice dates back to the original scream queen in 1978. From iconic director John Carpenter, the very first Halloween film starred Jamie Lee Curtis — who would later reprise her role in the recent sequels.
Halloween (1978) often been called one of the greatest horror films of all time and was even named the "greatest slasher movie ever made" by Collider last year.
Now, almost 50 years later, its director is still keeping busy in the storytelling realm. In addition to the recent concerts where he performed his iconic film soundtracks, Carpenter, 78, is also attached two new podcasts that are launching.
On Tuesday, April 7, Cineverse's horror division known as Bloody Disgusting announced a new partnership with Storm King Productions to develop and launch two original scripted podcasts under the “John Carpenter Presents” banner. The collaboration brings together two established forces in the horror space to expand premium storytelling into the audio fiction market.
The first series, John Carpenter Presents: Something Wicked, is available now. Fans can listen here.
View this post on InstagramThe eight-episode scripted series follows a young historian and a seasoned detective investigating paranormal crimes in New Orleans. Inspired by real events, the series blends supernatural horror with investigative drama.
In addition to Something Wicked, Bloody Disgusting and Storm King Productions are in production on a second original “John Carpenter Presents” fiction podcast. Further details will be announced.
“Storm King Productions got its start in podcasting with Roanoke Falls (2003 Signal Award Winner) and it’s a form we’ve wanted to revisit,” said Sandy King, CEO of Storm King Productions, in a statement. “[Creator] Read Ridley brought us a compelling story rooted in New Orleans, drawing on local talent and the genuine spooky atmosphere of bayou folklore. It's a story that provides a grand way for our return to fiction podcasting. John and I are thrilled to partner with Cineverse to do that.”
Eric Roberts Gives Update on Relationship With Daughter Emma Roberts
Actor Eric Roberts is known for his roles in movies such as National Security and The Dark Knight, as well as television series like Suits and Less Than Perfect. But he’s also the brother of Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts and the father of actressEmma Roberts.
Roberts (Eric, that is) recently appeared on the podcast ‘Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson,’ opening up about his life, depression, and a reported rift with his famous daughter, Emma. Robinson starts the interview by asking Roberts about Emma, “You told me a story last time we talked about when Emma was born, and you held her, and you sang to her.”
The actor reminisces about his daughter’s birth, saying he sang to her constantly during his then-girlfriend Kelly Cunningham’s pregnancy. Roberts and Cunningham parted ways shortly after Emma’s birth in 1991.
He went on to explain that, like most babies, Emma arrived making plenty of noise. He immediately broke into a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ and, “she stopped screaming and tried to find my face with her little blind eyes. And it was the most complete moment, maybe I have ever had in my life…it was magic, and I’ll always have that.”
Robinson continues the podcast, saying to Roberts, “It’s also hard, parenting.” The actor responds, “The hardest job to do well and the easiest job to get on the planet.”
The conversation then moves into an open discussion about Roberts’ depression and the time following his daughter’s birth. He admits, “I was emotionally, I was a wash rag. I was not to be depended on emotionally whatsoever.” Robinson presses the issue of his daughter and their relationship, saying, “I brought up Emma, and I hope that doesn’t make you uncomfortable.”
While the media has painted a picture of a strained father-daughter relationship that barely exists, Roberts doesn’t immediately shy away from speaking about their family dynamic. “I’m so proud of my daughter.”
When asked, “It’s complicated though, right?”, the actor points out, “No, no, it’s only complicated through outside eyes because they don’t, because you know, they don’t get any of it. So they have their own take, whatever that is, and it's not a straight line. Cuz they aren’t really involved…But it’s not a real relationship with the subjects. Bring her up all day. I’m so proud of my kid.
Even though Roberts seems completely comfortable answering most of Robinson’s questions, when she continues, “You have your relationship with her. I don’t know what the situation is. There are probably emotions that are complicated,” he moves the conversatgion on, saying, “Probably, but that’s not an issue and that’s not anything I’m here to discuss with you. I mean, just it is what that is, but that’s a whole other issue in my life.”
So how does Roberts view life? According to the famous father, “Life is very complicated, but what’s great about life as you get old is you realize that um, that nobody gets away with it. So be as nice as you can so people feel they should be nice to you.”
Ryan Seacrest Breaks Down His Dating Dealbreakers and Must-Have Green Flags
Right off the bat, red flags can make or break a relationship, andRyan Seacrest is getting candid about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to finding the right partner. The TV host got real on what red flags he avoids and what "specific" green flags he hopes to find.
The topic of relationship dealbreakers came up after Seacrest joked on Wheel of Fortunethat he was ready to turn to Tinder to look for love. On the latest episode of On Air With Ryan Seacrest, he revealed a few red flags that people either agree with or think the host is being too particular.
Seacrest has posted on Instagram about his active lifestyle and revealed that if someone who is on a walk, run, or bike ride doesn't greet another person as they pass by, it's a "red flag." The red flag also includes if the person doesn't wave back after someone greeted them first, with Seacrest admitting, "If you don't, I'm not so sure about you."
His next red flag has to do with his morning routine and something he isn't willing to compromise on. The TV host enjoys getting up in the morning and having his preferred cup of coffee, and says that "If we can’t share that moment together, it’s a red flag." In relation to coffee, a green flag for him is someone who prefers their coffee black, with adding dairy a major red flag.

View this post on InstagramThe coffee red flag caused a stir in the recording room, as his cohosts Tanya Red and Sisanie left stunned by what he confessed. His last green flag when looking for a partner, which Sisanie called "so specific," was if they could get ready in 27 minutes. Whether Seacrest's relationship dos and don'ts are realistic, fans will have to wait and see. He does admit that despite making a joke about Tinder, he's currently not on the dating platform.
The Wheel of Fortune host is currently single and ended his relationship with model Aubrey Paige in April 2024. He dated the model for three years, and previously dated chef Shayna Taylor on-and-off for eight years from 2013 until 2020. Before that relationship, he also dated Dancing with the Stars alum Julianne Hough.
Beloved 2009 Pixar Film ‘Up’ Is Finally Getting Its First Ever Theme Park Attraction
The hit 2009 Pixar feature film, UP, is finally getting its first-ever theme park attraction.
Developed by Walt Disney Imagineering and manufactured by Zamperla Group, DLP Works recently revealed that a family-friendly ride based on Carl and Ellie’s house will be coming to Disney Adventure World in Disneyland Paris.
According to DLP Works, the UP ride will have a queue heavily themed around the film “and the spirit of adventure.” It will be divided into four narrative zones, from Carl and Ellie’s memories to Carl’s balloons leading to the attraction.
The ride will feature 64 seats across 48 swing positions, which DLP Works suggests will likely mean 32 single seats and 16 double.
The early concept photos of the ride look similar to the swing ride Silly Symphony Swings at California Adventure Park in Anaheim. This design has been met with mixed reactions from fans.
“It’s a chair swing ride,” one fan commented on Facebook. “It’s hardly groundbreaking or exciting.”
Another fan called the ride a missed opportunity, commenting that “a balloon themed ride is obvious. Could have been amazing.”
However, others have expressed their excitement for the ride, with one fan on Facebook saying, “I love the retro feel of this, it just feels soooo Carl & Ellie.”
Inspired by Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park in Copenhagen, the new attraction will include a mix of Art Nouveau and early aviation aesthetics. DLP Works posted a list of its architectural features:
“Curved structures & decorative metalwork,
Industrial references inspired by vintage aircraft & zeppelins (nod to the film),
Balloon motifs integrated into the entrance & exit structures,
Colorful architecture inspired by Carl’s balloons,
Stained glass elements producing “warm lighting” effects.”
Additionally, the ride will have a “musical atmosphere inspired by fairground organs.” The rotating canopy of the ride will gradually reveal a mural, which will be designed in collaboration with Pixar Studios.
On March 29, Disney Adventure Park opened its newest experience, World of Frozen. Featuring the Arendelle castle and character encounters, this new immersive world transports visitors to the 2013 movie. Check out a first look at the land from Good Morning America on YouTube.
While an opening date has not yet been announced for the UP attraction, early concept photos can be seen here:
View this post on InstagramFoo Fighters' New Drummer Opens Up About Move From Nine Inch Nails
Ilan Rubinhas been playing shows with the Foo Fighters for several months, and now he's opening up about the band's decision to bring him on after firing their previous Taylor Hawkins replacement, Josh Freese.
Rubin's comments came after Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor spoke about what has been called a "drummer swap" when Freese was let go from Foo Fighters, and Rubin left NIN only to switch places.
"Being completely honest, we’re adults, and we’re professional, but we’re also people with emotional feelings and a sense of camaraderie and intent and purpose," Reznor told Consequence of Sound in December 2025. "I thought it would feel better to play that last wave of tours with someone that wants to be there, and that’s what went down."
Before rejoining NIN, Freese played drums for the Reznor-led group from 2005 to 2008, touring with the band on With Teeth, Year Zero, and The Slip, and recording for Year Zero and The Slip.
Freese left NIN at the end of 2008 to spend more time with his family, as his wife was expecting a third child and he was the only member of the band with children.
Rubin was Freese's replacement in 2008 and has been with NIN until July 2025. On Saturday, Apr. 4, he was featured in the latest episode of Go with Elmo Lovano, where he spoke about how he and Freese ended up trading places.
Initially, Rubin explained that the Foo Fighters gig "came out of nowhere" after getting a call from Dave Grohl, telling Elmo Lovano that he "couldn't be happier." Then he went on to explain how the Foo Fighters gig went down, saying it was "delicate" after playing for Nine Inch Nails for nearly two decades.
"There is no story, honestly. I think it’s just a very logical thing," insisted Rubin. "There was nothing behind it. And it’s very logical in the sense that Josh played with Nails from, I wanna say, '05 to the end of '08. I auditioned in '08, took over the next shows, I think it was February of '09, and was with the band up until last summer. The last tour I did was a European tour of the 'Peel It Back' cycle."
He continued, "When I was gotten in touch with, Dave and management, everyone was very well aware that I had a commitment up to this point, and was I doing anything afterwards? And at the time, there was nothing I knew about. The tour that Nine Inch Nails had just triumphantly wrapped up was not on the books. So, as far as I knew, my contract ended on a date. After that, it was, 'What am I doing next?' And when this happened, and the opportunity presented itself, and it was just an obvious great fit and a great thing for me."
Rubin went on to explain why Freese's return to Nine Inch Nails only made sense. "When the news leaked, because it did leak, it was billed as this drummer swap. Now that would imply that Trent and Dave were like 'Hey, you know what would be a great idea? Yeah why not? Which is the dumbest thing." Rubin shared.
He went on to emphasize that the move was "a switch, but it was certainly not a swap. I left my tenure with Nine Inch Nails to join Foo Fighters. The guy who joined Nine Inch Nails was no longer with Foo Fighters. That's literally what it was."
‘80s Icons Join Forces for Summer Tour
The ‘80s are back—or perhaps they’ve never left. The decade that spawned new wave among other things will be celebrated with a tour headlined by Howard Jones this summer.
The “Things Can Only Get Better” North American tour, named for Jones’ 1985 hit, kicks off July 19 in Napa, Calif. Joining Jones on the trek are fellow ‘80s icons Wang Chung, the English Beat and Modern English, while SiriusXM radio personality Richard Blade will serve as the host.
Unlike some other package tours, each act will play full sets on the 21-date tour, which stops in Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Washington, D.C., Boston and other cities before wrapping on Aug. 23 in Toronto.
“I dreamed of curating a tour with my favorite bands that could bring some positivity in our troubled times. I’m thrilled that this is actually happening this summer with the Things Can Only Get Better Tour,” Jones said in a statement. “Joining me are my friends Wang Chung, the English Beat, Modern English, and Richard Blade. I’m so excited to be touring with these amazing talents. Our aim is to bring some joy with the banging pop anthems that we all know and love. ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ is a message of hope for a future that we can create, when we stand up for the world we want to live in. Can’t wait to see you this summer!”
Jack Hues and Nick Feldman of Wang Chung also shared their feelings about the upcoming tour. “We are very excited to be joining Howard on this tour. We have known each other since the ‘80s but have never toured extensively together before. We have worked with Dave Wakeling and the English Beat and Modern English more recently. They are all great guys and exciting bands – four British bands bringing their hits and that unique 80s energy to your hometown - don’t miss it!"
Modern English’s Robbie Grey noted that it won’t just be a nostalgia fest, as his band will also be playing some new material. “Will be great touring with old friends again. Every night will be a top night,” he said. “We will play songs from our latest album 1234 and of course the classic early material and that song ‘I Melt With You.’”
To help promote the tour, Jones is set to appear on SiriusXM’s “First Wave Hollywood Happy Hour” with Blade on April 10 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET.
Carrie Underwood’s ’90s-Inspired Makeover Has Fans Going Wild: ‘Absolutely Obsessed’
Carrie Underwood rewound to 1997 for last night’s episode of American Idol.
Inspired by the classic girl-power comedy Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Underwood rocked a look akin to the iconic “comeback” dress worn by Lisa Kudrow’s Michele Weinberger.
View this post on InstagramSleek and futuristic, Underwood’s baby-pink metallic minidress was elevated with a pink fur trim on the skirt and a simple bow under the bust. She finished the look with a matching microbag, metallic block-heel sandals by Soda, and a custom rhinestone choker.
As for the glam, the superstar’s long locks were teased into the perfect Michele half-updo and her makeup was statement Michele all the way.
In the film, Michele wears the space-age dress during a climactic scene, when she and Romy, dressed in a complementary blue metallic look, finally tell off mean girls Christie, Cheryl, and Kelly who bullied them in high school.
"You're a bad person with an ugly heart, and we don't give a flying f--- what you think," Romy says to Christie before turning and walking away. "Come on, Michele."
"Okay, and ... YEAH!" Michele hurls at all three.
Mona May, the movie’s costume designer, created the glitzy ensembles to directly contrast the performative "business women’s special” suits the best friends wore at the beginning of their reunion to conform to mediocrity.
American Idol Fans Loved the LookUnderwood shared her look on Instagram, captioning the post, "Taking it back to the 90s for tonight’s look, inspired by 'Michele' from Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion! #americanidol #90s #90sstyle 👀 🎥 🎀👗🏫”
Fans and famous people alike were thrilled with Underwood's throwback. Several took to the Denim & Rhinestones artist's comments section to share their approval.
"You’re the Carrie. YOU’RE THE CARRIE! 💗," American Idol wrote, referencing the infamous Mary-and-Rhoda fued in the movie.
"Cuteeee," dancer Adam Boreland said.
"Absolutely obsessed 💓 whoever is styling her this season is doing INCREDIBLE," a fan commented.
@huluWhen facing your enemies, look good doing it. #RomyAndMichelesHighSchoolReunion #LisaKudrow #MiraSorvino

What scene did Jensen Ackles refuse to do in The Boys?Jensen Ackles made his debut as Soldier Boy—a twisted take on Captain America—in Season 3 of The Boys. But even on a show known for pushing boundaries, there was one moment the actor wasn’t willing to film.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ackles admitted he drew a firm line when presented with a particularly explicit scene. “As a father of three, and a son and a husband and a self-respecting human being, I can’t do this,” he said recalling a conversation with showrunner Eric Kripke. “I didn’t know where my line was, but you found it.”
Kripke, who previously worked with Ackles on Supernatural, confirmed they ultimately adjusted the moment. “We worked out a compromise where I got what I needed without him destroying his soul,” Kripke said in the same interview.
While the EW piece didn’t specify the scene, Ackles later clarified in an interview with Fangasm that it involved a much more explicit intimate moment with an older woman—one briefly seen in Season 3, Episode 7, “Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed.”
The cast includes Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Antony Starr as Homelander, Erin Moriarty a Starlight, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Laz Alonso as Mother's Milk, Chase Crawford as The Deep, Tomer Capone as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Susan Heyward as Sister Sage, Valorie Curry as Firecracker and Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy.
Will Jared Padalecki be in The Boys?Yes! The Boys is bringing a little Supernatural reunion along for the ride in its final season. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed that both Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki appear in Episode 5.
“What I love about what they're doing is they're just such douchebags. It's great,” Kripke told EW. “I mean, Soldier Boy is no treat either, but they're just really not morally upstanding dudes. It's a blast to watch them play that. It was just so much fun.”
Is there a trailer for the final season of The Boys?Of course! You can check out the most recent trailer for The Boys below. If you watch closely you'll spot Collins and Padalecki.

1989 Beloved Sports Comedy Was a No. 1 Hit 37 Years Ago
On April 7, 1989, moviegoers flocked to theaters for the release of Major League, a sports comedy that would eventually become one of the most enduring films about an underdog.
With David. S Ward in the director’s seat and memorable performances by Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Dennis Haysbert, Wesley Snipes, and Corbin Bernsen, the film captured the hearts of both sports fans and casual audiences alike.
The film trails the new owner of the Cleveland Indians, former showgirl Rachel Phelps (played by Margaret Whitton), who has a deal to move the team to Miami. But to break the lease with the city of Cleveland, ticket sales must plummet, so her solution is to assemble a team of incompetent players to secure a losing streak. However, the underdogs discover teamwork, grit, and unexpected talent in the process, while she accidentally turns them into potential winners, against all odds.
Delivering plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments along the way, thanks to the quirky ensemble cast, Major League debuted at No. 1 at the U.S box office.
With the premiere coinciding with the MLB season, the film hit a commercial home run.
In its opening weekend, it grossed around $8.8 million, holding the top spot for two consecutive weekends.
It surpassed its budget of $11 miion, bringing in roughly $50 milllion domestically, while marking a cultural success. It dropped down to the second spot in its third weekend, the third spot in the fourth weekend, and remained in the top 10 for about two months.
Over the 37 years since its debut, the film has earned a place on lists of the highest-grossing baseball films, including taking the number 10 spot on The Wrap's list of iconic baseball films.
Sheen, Bernsen and Berenger all came back for the sequel, Major League II, which premiered a few years later in March 1994 and took home $30.6 million at the box office.
Though to this day, the original film, which was received positively by critics and fans, is remembered not just as a box office hit, but a beloved comedy that helped define an era. It's got a lasting legacy and a loyal fanbase.
