I Tried the Viral Instagram Recipe for Raising Cane’s Chicken Tenders—Is It Actually Worth the Hype?
I'm a fairly new Raising Cane's customer—the closest one is about 20 miles away and only opened a few years ago—but I definitely understand the hype. And my kids do, too. Whenever we're near one, they insist on stopping.
And who can blame them? The restaurant's success isn't about being everything to everyone. It’s about doing one thing extremely well: chicken tenders. You won’t get chicken wings or nuggets here. Because the brand specializes in tenders, fans know that they can consistently get chicken that’s super juicy with a light, crispy coating every single time.
But not everyone lives near a location, and those long drive-thru lines can be a turnoff, so the next best option is to try to make the famous chicken tenders at home. And to help you do just that, there are lots of copycat Raising Cane’s chicken tenders recipes out there.
In my quest for a delicious chicken tender dupe at home, I went searching through those recipes and landed on one from content creator Iram Mansoor (@iramsfoodstory). Her video breaks down her homemade take that promises the same juicy interior and light but crisp batter that Cane’s fans crave—without the drive. With more than 175K likes and nearly 400 comments, it was clear that I wasn't the only person drawn to this recipe.
To see if the chicken was as good as it looked in the video, I grabbed my cooking oil, chicken and some other ingredients and gave the recipe a try in my kitchen. Would the work of at-home deep frying be worth the effort? There was only one way to find out.

You can get the full recipe in the caption of Mansoor's Instagram post, but here's what you'll need. Start by grabbing some chicken breasts and neutral oil for frying. For the marinade, you'll need buttermilk, garlic powder, black pepper, salt and smoked paprika. For the dry batter, you'll need flour, cornstarch and more garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Before you get started, a note on timing: The tenders need to marinate for at least 2 hours (and up to overnight), so be sure to plan for that. If that timing works for you, in a large bowl, whisk the wet ingredients and add the chicken.

In another bowl or container, combine the dry ingredients and set aside.

When the chicken is finished marinating, remove it from the buttermilk mixture (allow the excess mixture to drip off), and dredge the chicken thoroughly in the dry mixture.

Heat a large pot of oil to 350°F and fry the tenders until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This should take 8–10 minutes. You might want to set a timer so you don’t overcook them, and definitely keep an eye on the oil to make sure it's staying at a pretty consistent temperature.

Copycat Raising Cane's Chicken Tenders: My Honest ThoughtsI'm not going to lie. My version didn’t look as good as the restaurant’s or Mansoor’s version, but they were tasty. My first few tenders were golden and crispy, but as the oil got hotter, the breading started burning.
The challenge of testing a fried item at home is that you can’t compete with the fry stations of large restaurants, which are calibrated to stay at a consistent temperature. To dial in the cooking process takes some practice and some trial-and-error, but the more you fry, the better you get.
Courtesy Kellye Fox
The issue I encountered was that there were too many tenders (about 11), so the frying process took nearly an hour. On the plus side, the chicken wasn’t greasy, and it was juicy. Perhaps if the tenders were cut a smidge thinner, the crunch would be more Cane’s-adjacent.
Flavor-wise, the seasoning was subtle, which is exactly how Raising Cane’s does it. I did pick up the smoked paprika on the copycat tenders the next day. That’s not a flavor that’s common with the restaurant version, but it was still very pleasant.
Overall, these were good, crispy, juicy tenders (before the oil started getting too hot). Is it a perfect replica? My version wasn’t, but that’s not to say that it’s not possible. Final verdict? I would try to make these again, but with fewer pieces. This copycat recipe called for 2 pounds of chicken breast, and my package was just over that weight. For a smaller batch, I'd make a half batch with a 1-pound package of chicken to make the process quicker.

3 Tips for Making These Chicken Tenders at HomeThese tricks can help you make the best version of this popular copycat chicken recipe.
1. Plan aheadRaising Cane’s marinates their chicken overnight. While they haven’t revealed what their batter includes, many online sleuths think it’s buttermilk, which is a traditional method to tenderize chicken and lock in moisture. I soaked my tenders for about 11 hours, and they still turned out tender.
2. Grab a thermometerI don’t own a deep fryer, so I used the old-fashioned stovetop frying method. Before frying, use a thermometer to reach the sweet spot of 350° to get that crispy breading. Not only do you need a thermometer for the oil, but you’ll also need one to make sure the tenders are safe to eat. Poultry needs to be cooked to at least 165°F.
3. Eat them hot (and fight the sog)Because you’re really making a copycat tenders recipe, you don’t want to wait an hour to eat them. These shine fresh out of the fryer. To maintain the crunch (and no soggy bottoms), rest them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.

'Hannibal' Star Joins Leonardo DiCaprio in Chilling New Thriller
Mads Mikkelsen is officially checking into Martin Scorsese's next mystery.
The actor has closed a deal to star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the upcoming thriller What Happens at Night. This casting brings another heavy hitter to an already packed lineup.
The Apple Original Films production is gearing up to start filming in Prague later this month. Patricia Clarkson will also appear in the feature. The film is a co-production between StudioCanal and Sikelia Productions.
A Dark Winter EscapeThe movie is based on Peter Cameron's novel of the same name. The plot centers on a married American couple, played by DiCaprio and Lawrence. They travel to a snowy and isolated European town to adopt a baby. Things take a strange turn when they check into a massive and mostly empty hotel to wait out the process.
While trying to navigate the adoption, the couple crosses paths with a weird group of hotel guests. This includes a flashy singer, a rich businessman and a charismatic faith healer. As the setting becomes more isolating, the couple starts losing their grip on reality.
Mikkelsen is taking on the role of Brother Emmanuel. The studio is keeping further character details under wraps. Fans know Mikkelsen best for playing sophisticated and chilling characters. His run as Hannibal Lecter on the television series Hannibal built a massive dedicated following.
He also brought serious tension to films like Casino Royale and Another Round. His casting as Brother Emmanuel hints at another intense performance. Patrick Marber, the writer behind Notes on a Scandal, adapted the screenplay.
Expanding a Hollywood RosterThis new project marks the seventh time Scorsese and DiCaprio have teamed up for a feature film. They previously worked together on major releases like The Departed, The Wolf of Wall Street and 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon. The director and actor have a proven track record of creating massive hits.
DiCaprio recently confirmed that production is just weeks away. The crew will shoot on location in the Czech Republic to capture the harsh winter weather needed for the story. The combination of Scorsese's directing and a cast of award winners is already generating serious industry attention.
Apple has not announced a release date yet.
People Who Were Cyberbullied as Kids Often Develop These 7 Traits as Adults, Psychologists Say
Bullying is, unfortunately, nothing new. You or someone you know may have experienced the downright meanness of someone, whether at school, at work, at home or in another setting.
Ever since computers and phones entered the mix, that setting began to include online spaces, such as social media, apps or other websites. Cyberbullying is super harmful and its effects can be long-lasting—children and teens who've experienced it may feel its impact even into adulthood.
And when it comes to cyberbullying, the kids affected aren’t the only key players—parents are, too. Moms and dads may search for ways to support their child who is being bullied or educate them about bullying and how to stand up for others. Essentially, it all comes down to this: The more we talk about bullying and cyberbullying—with kids, teens, teachers, parents—the better.
Parade is here to help. We spoke to two psychologists who share all you need to know, from how cyberbullying’s effects differ from “regular” bullying, why it’s so harmful, seven traits that adults may develop afterward, how to educate children about bullying and what to do if your child is being cyberbullied.
Related: People Who Were Name-Called in Childhood Often Develop These 11 Traits as Adults, Psychologists Say
Bullying and cyberbullying both involve cruelty toward another person and are (obviously) harmful. There are clear differences, however, and psychologists say cyberbullying can be extra distressing.
“Traditional bullying usually stays confined to specific places/times, but that is not the case with cyberbullying,” says Dr. Vincent Halbrook, PsyD, LCAS, a licensed clinical psychologist and the medical spokesperson for EHG of NC. “It follows kids into their home and continues to affect them even long after the initial incident.”
That creates a stress response that’s both lasting and serious.
“Having that constant fear or worry that the next text, Instagram message or TikTok post is going to be an aggressive or harmful one (and not having a space to decompress) worsens anxiety and hypervigilance,” says Dr. Ayesha Ludhani, PsyD, a licensed psychologist who specializes in therapy for children, teens and their parents at her practice, Ludhani Psychological Services. She says it can turn into shame and rumination that can even lead to suicidal thoughts or self-harm.
The “public” part of social media means more emotional ramifications, too, Dr. Halbrook adds. Since the mean comments can be seen by more people, and over a longer span of time, the child may feel more publicly humiliated. It’s truly a nightmare.
And that’s been noted in research. A review inThe Canadian Journal of Psychiatryreported that cyberbullying has “unique qualities that can both magnify the damage caused and make it more difficult to detect.” It said that youth who experience cyberbullying reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, emotional distress, suicidal ideation, suicidal attempts, somatic complaints, poorer physical health, increased delinquency and substance use.

In addition to the “public” piece and the embarrassment that elicits, cyberbullying also invades a space that kids and teens may otherwise enjoy, or feel FOMO (the fear of missing out) without. While that may sound inconsequential, it’s not: Social media can, at times, be a fun and meaningful place for funny memes, cultural moments and connecting with friends. When cyberbullying is a risk, it’s not anymore. It’s scary and damaging.
“Cyberbullying distorts the kids’ sense of safe ‘digital spaces’ because they experience how a single hurtful post spreads fast,” Dr. Halbrook says. “The child ultimately begins to feel as if the whole world is watching and mocking them, even if that maybe is not the case.”
There’s also the fact that—as you’ve probably seen—people can “hide” on social media by using fake names, making it easier and more comfortable to be mean.
“There’s the anonymity of it all, which can lead to the bullies being harsher than they may be in face-to-face interactions,” Dr. Ludhani says. “People often get bolder when they have the distance and space of a screen to separate them from the other person’s reactions.”
Related: Child Psychologists Warn Against These 7 Things They Never Do With Their Own Kids
As a result of those experiences, adults who experienced cyberbullying in their childhood may (or may not) present with the following traits, psychologists say.
1. Constant awareness of their online imageHaving even one bad online experience can create anxiety that it will happen again. This can show up as someone being super-aware of (and worried about) how they're portrayed and perceived in online spaces.
“As adults, they become hypervigilant about what they share to protect themselves from being hurt,” Dr. Halbrook shares.
For example, they might not post much or freak out when they see that someone tagged them in a post.
That wariness can extend to IRL relationships, too—even seemingly close, trustworthy ones. After all, they were hurt by a person in their life, not a computer, cellphone or random person.
“Cyberbullying often comes from people that the child once trusted or considered friends,” Dr. Halbrook explains. “This becomes a stark reminder that even trusted connections can become hurtful.”
In practice, you may notice the person is avoidant or second-guesses positive things people say about them.
For someone who was bullied (and in such a public space), being around others and their opinions can be scary.
“If you were publicly shamed online, that can make social situations feel risky, even after the bullying ends,” Dr. Ludhani says.
As an adult, that might look like worrying about how you’re perceived, replaying interactions in your head and looking for ways you might have embarrassed yourself.

Have you ever talked to an adult who seemed to quickly take things personally or feel disliked? They may have been cyberbullied as a child. It’s not just judgment they're worried about, but rejection in any form.
“Repeated cyberbullying ultimately tunes a child’s brain to constantly scan for potential threats,” Dr. Halbrook explains. “Even small shifts in tone or behavior feel amplified, because they’ve learned how minor moments can quickly turn into deep emotional hurt.”
Dr. Ludhani adds that these adults might “read between the lines” in emails or texts, brace for criticism or feel devastated hearing any feedback, even if it's constructive.
Not only do these adults think that others are judging them, but they're also, oftentimes, judging themselves—and for a deeper reason than you might expect.
“Repeated online ridicule can rewire the brain to look for flaws as a form of self-protection,” Dr. Ludhani explains. “Harsh messages become internal rules, like ‘Don’t mess up, don’t stand out,’ that continue into adulthood.”
Adults who were cyberbullied as kids have a unique understanding of how people can stab them in the back. So, they may be reluctant to trust others and ask for help since it can feel like admitting defeat and inadequacy.
“When hurtful moments live online and can’t easily disappear, shame tends to stick around,” Dr. Halbrook explains. “Many grow up feeling that opening up will only bring more judgment, so they avoid seeking help.”
Hyperindependence goes hand-in-hand with this one.
Setting (and upholding) boundaries is hard enough, let alone when cyberbullying makes a person feel like no one will listen.
“If you were targeted by a cyberbully as a child, you may have learned that keeping others happy was safer than asserting yourself, translating into an adult who bends over backward to avoid conflict or struggles to say no,” Dr. Ludhani says.

Needless to say, cyberbullying is a serious, not-OK thing. It’s important to educate children about it so they don’t become cyberbullies, and so they can recognize the signs and ask for help if they're on the receiving end.
Dr. Halbrook’s first tip is to educate them.
“Teach your kids to spot the difference between an instance of online disagreement and someone deliberately trying to hurt them,” he says. Knowing how to disagree respectfully is a necessary and relevant life skill.
His second tip is about practice.
“Practice actual scenarios together and let them decide on the appropriate action,” he suggests. You, as their grown-up, can help them feel confident in coming to you for support.
The timing matters, too. Dr. Ludhani urges starting early and keeping the conversation going rather than making it a one-time lecture. You can talk about what cyberbullying looks like, such as spreading rumors, excluding people in group chats, making cruel comments and impersonating someone.
Then, have a conversation about it. What are the real examples the child has seen? How might the person on the receiving end feel? How can the child support the person being cyberbullied?
“Just as important as these conversations, model compassion and thoughtful digital behavior yourself,” she adds.

If your child is being cyberbullied, you may be tempted to go to the bully’s parents or the bully themselves—but Dr. Halbrook warns against that.
“That conversation rarely goes well and may complicate formal intervention,” he says.
Instead, Dr. Halbrook shares the two-step recommendation he finds more effective.
“Your first duty as a parent is to collect evidence and report to the authorities,” he states. “Screenshot all proofs before anything gets deleted. Next, report to the school immediately.”
Besides those important logistical steps, attend to your child’s emotions. Dr. Ludhani encourages listening calmly and taking them seriously.
“A lot of times, children avoid speaking up because they worry their devices are going to get taken away or they’ll be told to ‘just ignore it,’” she says. “Validate their experiences by saying something like, ‘That sounds really upsetting. I’m glad you told me.'"
Mental health support may be needed, so monitoring for that is another crucial step. More specifically, Dr. Ludhani says to look out for significant or ongoing distress. If and when you see that, involve a mental health professional. They can help your child rebuild self-confidence, challenge harmful beliefs and learn coping tools.

Aldi Fans Say This $5 Find Delivers a Super 'Quick' and 'Easy Dinner'
Aldi fans are always on the hunt for easy dinner shortcuts, and one frozen find is getting a lot of attention online. The Specially Selected Shrimp & Crab Stuffed Artisan Ravioli has become a hit among shoppers looking for a quick meal that feels a little more elevated than a standard weeknight pasta.
Priced at just $4.49 for a 20-ounce bag, the seafood-filled ravioli has a restaurant-style flavor without the effort—and if the chatter in Aldi's fan groups is any indication, many shoppers are already stocking up before it disappears from shelves.

Why You Should Stock Up on Aldi's Shrimp & Crab RavioliAldi
The ravioli features tender pasta pockets stuffed with a shrimp and crab mixture. It has a seafood-forward flavor that feels a bit more special than your typical frozen dinner option. Aldi's website suggests pairing it with creamy lemon sauce or garlic butter, but shoppers have been taking things much further.
Because it cooks quickly (usually just a few minutes in boiling water), the ravioli works well for busy weeknights when you want something filling without spending an hour in the kitchen. The price point is another draw, especially for shoppers trying to stretch grocery budgets while still eating something that feels fancy.
Each 20-ounce bag contains about four servings, with a serving size of 10 pieces. One serving comes in at 260 calories and 13 grams of protein, making it fairly satisfying for a quick pasta night.
The filling blends shrimp and crab with cheeses like ricotta and Romano, which helps balance the seafood flavor. It's found in Aldi's rotating Aldi Finds frozen section, meaning availability may vary depending on location and timing.

How Aldi Fans Are Turning Into Easy Weeknight DinnersOne of the biggest reasons the ravioli has been a fan-favorite is its versatility. In an Aldi Aisle of Shame Community thread, shoppers shared dozens of ways they've turned the frozen pasta into a full meal.
One Facebook commenter said the ravioli was a "huge hit" at dinner after they sautéed garlic in Irish butter, added the ravioli and finished everything with Alfredo sauce and fresh spinach. "Going back tomorrow to see if I can find more," they added.
Other shoppers kept things simple. One commented shared how they boiled the ravioli and topped it with grated cotija cheese, calling it a "quick, easy dinner." Others added Alfredo sauce with spinach or paired it with an aglio e olio-style sauce made with olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and parsley.
Some shoppers even used the ravioli as a base for more elaborate meals. One person added Aldi's scallops in champagne sauce, while others suggested pairing it with lobster tails or even serving it with bisque instead of traditional pasta sauce.
Some Shoppers Aren't Completely SoldLike most Aldi Finds, the ravioli has its critics. A few commenters said the seafood flavor wasn't for everyone, and some shoppers questioned the quality of the filling. One commenter argued that you "get what you pay for," while others simply said the flavor didn't work for them.
Still, many fans pushed back, saying the product delivered exactly what they wanted for the price. When one shopper asked if the ravioli tasted too "fishy," another responded that it wasn't overpowering but that "you can definitely taste the crab."
That balance (seafood flavor without being overly strong) seems to be what keeps many shoppers coming back for more. Aldi's Shrimp & Crab Stuffed Ravioli might not be a permanent freezer staple, but for many shoppers, it's a quick way to make dinner feel a little more special without spending much money or time.
Whether tossed in Alfredo sauce, paired with garlic butter or turned into a seafood pasta night, the ravioli is proving to be one of those Aldi Finds people can't wait until it's restocked.

Will There Be A 'The Night Agent' Season 4? Here's Everything We Know So Far
Another high-octane edition of Netflix's The Night Agent just dropped, with the third season of the espionage thriller debuting on the streamer on Thursday, February 19. The latest batch of episodes are just as guns-blazing and action-packed as fans could want, a move boosted by the game participation of its lead actor Gabriel Basso, who plays FBI agent Peter Sutherland and performed the show's many stunts himself.
“You don’t get to eat the best food, sleep in the most comfortable beds and make a million dollars and then when it comes time to get hit by a guy, say, ‘No, that could hurt,’” Basso told The Hollywood Reporter. “You’re paid a lot of money — there should be a feeling of being beholden to the audience. I’m obligated to risk my life for something sick that could live forever on camera. It’s like the quote from Spider-Man: ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ “
And though we just got 10 fresh episodes of Peter and the Night Action team kicking some seriously corrupt political butt, we're already looking forward to a potential fourth season of the popular spy drama. Here's everything we know so far about The Night Agent season 4.
Warning: Some spoilers ahead for The Night Agent season 3
Will there be a The Night Agent season 4?As of press time, Netflix has not officially announced a fourth season for The Night Agent. However, series creator Shawn Ryan has already teased that the writers' room is up and running for next season.
“Season 4 is not officially picked up yet, but a while ago, in calendar year 2025, they did quietly pick up a writers room,” Ryan told Deadline. “We’ve been working for a while on the storyline. We have some scripts, we are breaking stories. I think you know from the tax credit, there’s a date by which you need to be filming by; there’s time for us at the moment.”

The television producer, who is also behind The Shield, The Unit and Timeless, also discussed how Netflix was waiting to see how season three would perform with viewers before officially picking up the spy drama for a fourth installment. (For reference, The Night Agent season one drew 98.2 million views in its first 91 days.)
“To Netflix’s credit, they want to make sure that the creative side of things is always buttoned up before committing that amount of money,” Ryan said. “We’re in the story-breaking, script-writing phase, and my guess is, sometime in the next [few weeks, up to a month], they’ll make a decision about officially greenlighting Season 4, and if and when they do, we’ll be ready to go with the scripts so that there’s not that much time between Season 3 and Season 4. I think Netflix cares about their viewers and is looking for ways to minimize the time between the seasons of their most successful shows.”

When will The Night Agent season 4 come out?If the show does get greenlit for a fourth season, there's good news: You won't have to wait multiple years for new episodes, as has become the norm of other streaming titles. No, Ryan affirmed to Deadline that the series will keep to a near-yearly drop for season four. (The 10-episode season three arrived about 13 months after its predecessor.)

“This cadence is easy,” Ryan said. “Compared to all the network stuff I did back in the day, you would have just finished making 22 episodes and before you’re even done doing post on that final episode, the writers room is starting up for the next season. When I was doing The Shield and The Unit, I think I made something like 44 episodes of TV in a calendar year. So this is nothing compared to that.”
Given that season two arrived on Netflix on January 23, 2025, and season three followed on February 19, 2026, it's likely that a fourth season will drop sometime in winter 2027.

Who will be in The Night Agent season 4?Though there have been no official casting announcements made just yet, it's safe to say that Gabriel Basso will return as The Night Agent's lead character Peter Sutherland.
After the events of the third season, it remains to be seen if fellow cast members like Fola Evans-Akingbola, Ward Horton, Jennifer Morrison, Genesis Rodriguez, Suraj Sharma, David Lyons and Stephen Moyer will be making appearances in any upcoming episodes.
Louis Herthum's character Jacob Monroe died in the third season, so it's unlikely that he will return; also, it is unknown whether Luciane Buchanan's Rose Larkin will return for future installments, after having been written out post-season two.
What will The Night Agent season 4 be about?Again, there have been no public pronouncements made just yet about a fourth season of The Night Agent, so it's unclear exactly what will be the main focus next season. Based on the season three ending, we do know that Peter Sutherland will likely get a partner in the near future, but not before he takes time out of the field to find himself some balance.
Parade will keep you posted on all developments relating to The Night Agent season 4, so stay tuned!

Sunday is associated with the Sun in astrology. Astrologers believe that the Sun represents free will, consciousness, and confidence. Without its energy, life on Earth would not exist. In a similar way, solar energy gives us vitality, purpose, and a meaningful identity, all of which relate to our self-expression. When we feel at our best, we are embodying our Sun energy. Conversely, when we feel disconnected from how we want to present ourselves to the world, reconnecting with our Sun energy can help restore our inspiration.
Born on Saturday: Personality TraitsIndividuals born on a Sunday are natural trailblazers who follow their instincts in each moment. With their passionate and vibrant personalities, they often find themselves in leadership roles, whether as a CEO, a work manager, or someone who effectively delegates tasks at home. These independent individuals excel at managing teams and are known for their bright, infectious energy, much like their planetary ruler, the Sun. Their cheerful laughter, witty humor, and playful nature attract people to them.
Born on Sunday: Soul Purpose & Natural GiftsThose born on Sunday are meant to lead. When they assume a passive role or position in their life, they tend to feel depleted. Passion lies with what is new, fresh, and exciting. Therefore, Sunday-borns can often be found living on the verge of becoming. They don't shy away from a new beginning. In fact, they may struggle sometimes to see things through when they lose their sparkly shine of novelty. Still, they make great friends, lovers, and companions, as they are known to empower others to focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
People born on Sunday thrive when they embrace their supportive and enthusiastic nature. They genuinely want to help others succeed when they are in their element. However, if they don’t manage their impulsivity, they may become bossy or overly focused on their own ego. Overall, their energetic approach, flair for the dramatic, and bold personality can help them stand out. They feel the most fulfilled when they use their visibility to promote causes or support growth that aligns with their deepest values.

Woody’s Bald Spot in ‘Toy Story 5’ Trailer Has Us Feeling All Kinds of Things
The first official trailer for Toy Story 5 dropped today.
And though we have a solid villain in an addictive little green screen named Lilypad, there’s another introduction millennials, outlets, and really all of the chronically online can’t stop talking about (and crying over).
It’s Woody’s bald spot.
The trailer begins with Bonnie officiating the adorable wedding of Forky and his googly-eyed plastic knife bride. She then gets a package and is introduced to a froggie-shaped tablet called Lilypad. Voiced by Greta Lee, the device monopolizes Bonnie’s attention, with the other toys expressing their disapproval and Bonnie’s parents wrestling with screen time rules.
About a minute and a half into the trailer, Woody joins the gang. Upon climbing through the window and hanging up his 10-gallon hat, a massive glare off the top of his balding head blinds the contents of Bonnie's toy box.
“Someone needs a brown marker,” Trixie, the Triceratops, voiced by Kristen Schaal, says.
Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, chimes in, responding to Lilypad asking Woody if he’s an oldie.
“She thinks you’re old, because you’re bald, Woody,” he says.
View this post on InstagramNow, it’s that bald spot that has the internet collectively losing it.
“They really gave Woody a bald spot in ‘Toy Story 5’ 😭 What do y’all think of his new look ⁉️” fan account @drip shared on Instagram.
“First look at Woody’s balding head in ‘Toy Story 5.’ Out here looking like my ex,” @superficial wrote on Facebook.
Over on TikTok, there’s an entire explore page dedicated to Woody’s peekaboo patch.
Hair or non, the fifth installment of the beloved family-friendly franchise is poised to make massive bank at the box office. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Toy Story 4 surpassed $1 billion at the global box office in 2019 and went on to win an Oscar for best animated feature.
Toy Story 5 hits theaters June 19.

Elizabeth Hurley's Son Damian Comments on Rumors Surrounding Her Boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus: 'Very Strange'
Elizabeth Hurley has been dating boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus for almost a year—and it's obvious that her sonDamian approves of their relationship.
While the couple are going strong, they've often been plagued by rumors about their romance and allegations that it's caused a rift in Hurley's relationship with her son. While Damian has previously dispelled the reports, he's now sharing his real thoughts about Cyrus.
In a new interview with The Standard published on Thursday (Feb. 19), Damian was clear that Cyrus is "a very sweet boyfriend who I adore," adding that the singer's six children "are very, very sweet."
Damian also referenced the constant rumors about his mother's dating life, calling the online chatter "very strange and upsetting."
"Whenever I use my phone it is now flooded with so much stuff about all of us, the second I turn it on, which I found very strange and upsetting," he shared with the outlet. "When I need to, I’m chronically offline. I delete Instagram for long chunks of time because it would be appalling to ever let that influence real life."
As for his relationship with Hurley, Damian says they are extremely close—even if that means getting on each other's nerves every once in a while.
"My mum and I are twins. We’re very, very similar, which can also drive us insane, and I think with anyone that you can see yourself in, you can also get on each other’s nerves insanely," Damian said.
Hurley and Cyrus first made their romance public last Easter when they shared a photo on Instagram spending the holiday together. They've known each other since meeting on the set of a Christmas movie in 2022 but lost touch when filming wrapped. They later reconnected after Hurley sent Cyrus a text message out of the blue.
"Billy Ray is fabulous. We’re very happy, very happy,” Hurley said of their relationship last fall.
Millie Bobby Brown Poses With Daughter in Rare Photo for 22nd Birthday
Millie Bobby Brown is feeling grateful and loved as she completes another lap around the sun.
The British actress and producer shared a rare photo of herself and her young daughter wearing matching teddy bear jackets at the beach, watching a sunrise on her Instagram on Thursday afternoon. Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, welcomed a baby girl via adoption last summer, but have chosen to keep their daughter's name and identity private.
"grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals. I am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes. xoxo," the Stranger Thingsstar wrote as her caption.
View this post on InstagramMinutes after the picture was posted, many of Brown's fans and friends greeted the actress with a happy birthday and shared their love for her and her daughter.
"Happy birthday Millie, I love you sooo much!!" a fan account dedicated to Brown and Stranger Things commented. "Thank you for being the amazing you 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷."
"My girls ❤️," singer Lexi Jayde commented.

Another user posted, "best girls !!! so cuteeee🥹💗✨✨."
"Your first birthday as a mother 🥺," another fan account dedicated to Stranger Things pointed out.
"This pic is so beautiful," another fan account wrote.
Millie Bobby Brown attends the "Stranger Things 5" UK Special Screening at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on November 13, 2025 in London, England.The 22-year-old actress told British Vogue back in November that motherhood and raising a family have "been a beautiful, amazing journey" and have "taught us so much already." When journalist Zing Tsjeng asked Brown to tell her about her daughter's personality, she declined, saying that "it’s not my place to purposefully put her in the spotlight unwillingly."
"For me, it’s really important to protect her and her story until she’s old enough to potentially one day share it herself," Brown explained. "If she chooses to share her personality one day with the world, like I did when I was young, that’s something we’d support. But right now, as she’s so little…As her parents, it's our job to protect her from that."
Bongiovi and Brown met in 2021 through a mutual friend and started sparking romance rumors then before going public with their relationship that summer. The two eventually got married in May 2024, when Brown was only 20 years old and he was 21.
"He just lets me be me," Brown told British Vogue. "That’s why I adore him."

Who’s Behind James Van Der Beek’s Biggest GoFundMe Donation?
In the days following James Van Der Beek’s death at 48 after a battle with colorectal cancer, an outpouring of support has poured into a GoFundMe created to help his wife, Kimberly, and their six children.
While many celebrities contributed large amounts, the single largest public donation came from an unexpected source: men’s skincare brand Caldera + Lab.
The Austin-based company, founded in 2019 by entrepreneur Jared Pobre, donated $50,000 to the campaign—making it the top listed contribution. Pobre, who is married to former WWE star Stacy Keibler, is known for investing in environmentally focused ventures and has an estimated net worth of roughly $200 million. Caldera + Lab operates as a certified 1% for the Planet company, pledging a portion of sales to environmental nonprofits, and is recognized for local philanthropic efforts, including disaster relief donations.

Meanwhile, another high-profile donor also made headlines for his contribution. Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, donated $25,000 to the fundraiser—a gesture that sparked debate online. Some praised the move, while others criticized the amount relative to Spielberg’s wealth.
One user wrote on X, “Steven Spielberg donating $25k is like me donating $25,” while another commented, “If I have the money that Steven Spielberg has I will donate easily 2 million in a lump sum.”
Still, both donations have helped propel the fundraiser well beyond its goal. Initially aimed for $1.5 million, it has currently surpassed $2.7 million, fueled by more than 50K donations.
Van Der Beek publicly revealed his colorectal cancer diagnosis in November 2024, sharing that he had been quietly undergoing treatment while continuing to prioritize time with his family. The actor, best known for his role as Dawson Leery on Dawson’s Creek, spoke candidly about the emotional and physical toll of the illness in the months leading up to his death. He is survived by his wife and their six children: Olivia, 15, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 12, Emilia, 9, Gwendolyn, 7, and Jeremiah, 4.
Aldi's $6 Drill Brush Makes Scrubbing Grout and Bathtubs Way Less Miserable
Let's be honest, some cleaning tasks are just plain miserable. Scrubbing grout, tackling soap scum on tubs or getting into those hard-to-reach corners of your bathroom can feel like a full workout—and not the fun kind. You might dread the squeaky gloves, the endless scrubbing motions and the slow progress. But what if there was a way to cut your cleaning time in half and actually make these chores feel almost effortless?
Enter Aldi's $6 drill brush set from Easy Home. This clever little kit transforms your standard cordless drill into a high-powered, rotating cleaning tool, letting the drill do the hard work for you. The set comes with three brush heads—small, medium and large—plus an extension rod to reach tight spots. That means tiny corners on your stovetop or sink, curved grout lines in the bathroom, and even larger surfaces like tile walls or car rims are all fair game. With the power of a drill behind it, grime, soap scum, lime scale and stubborn dirt don't stand a chance.
Easy Home Universal Power Drill Brush Set, Pink, $5.99 at AldiAldi
What makes this drill brush such a good buy is how much time it saves. A task that normally takes you twenty minutes of elbow grease can be done in half the time or less. The rotary action scrubs more effectively than your hand can, letting you cut down on strain and frustration while still achieving sparkling results. Plus, the variety of brush sizes and bristle stiffness levels means it's versatile enough to tackle just about any cleaning job in your home—from bathroom tile and tubs to kitchen sinks and even outdoor surfaces like barbecue grills, concrete or car wheels.
Another bonus is how simple it is to use. The brushes feature a quick-change shaft that fits most standard cordless drills and impact drivers, so you don't need a special tool to make your drill a cleaning powerhouse. The extension rod makes reaching high tiles or deep corners easy without stretching or bending awkwardly, and the pink stoneware-inspired color adds a little fun to the chore. If pink isn't your thing, there's also a pretty blue version at Aldi.
Consumers are loving it for its efficiency and price. At just $5.99, it's a fraction of what you'd pay for other specialized cleaning gadgets that promise the same results. It's practical, versatile and downright satisfying when you see your tiles gleam with minimal effort.
For anyone who wants to spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying their sparkling home, this $6 drill brush set is a total win.

Tupperware Is Selling the Dreamiest 4-Piece Vintage Canister Set in Colors That Are Perfect for Spring
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
I find it really funny how Tupperware can sneak its way into a conversation and suddenly everyone has a story. You wouldn't think plastic containers (that are BPA-free!) would spark nostalgia, but here we are. Mention it in a room full of adults and watch the memories start flowing.
For me, it's that big pitcher that always seemed to be filled with neon-colored Kool-Aid in the fridge, sweating slightly on a summer afternoon. Or the cookie canister on the counter— the one you'd open quietly, hoping no one noticed you grabbing "just one." Somehow, everything stored in Tupperware tasted better. It had been handled with care and stored in a cozy hug.
Vintage Small Decorator Canisters – 4 Count, $20 at TupperwareTupperware
Right now, Tupperware is selling a set of four Vintage Small Decorator Canisters with accompanying lids for just $20. The lids have that iconic sunburst pattern on them, just like the ones your mom had when you were a kid (or that you personally owned decades ago).
This colorway collection is called "dreamy pastels," and I can see why. Each of the four small canisters comes in a different pastel shade. There's a pale yellow, light peach, light blue and light green. And what might be the best part—the canisters nest together, so it's a great space-saving option when you aren't using them.
Related: 12 Celebrity McDonald's Orders You Can Actually Try—From Kim K to Shaq
What Shoppers Are SayingLike I was saying before, there's something deeply comforting about Tupperware, which has translated into lifelong customers. Maybe it's because Tupperware was always part of the background of childhood, or perhaps it's because it's just downright dependable. But the solid reviews on these products, particularly this small canister set, continue to roll in.
"Love the size and multi-use ability of this canister," says a happy customer. "Great for storing muffins or anything!"
Despite the canisters being on the smaller side, almost every review mentions them being a great size.
"These containers are the perfect size—not too big and not too small," says another shopper in their review. "I bought a similar set a while ago (same size, different colors), and loved them. So I bought more! And these lids are the best."
So get yourself some kitchen storage that also kind of doubles as a pretty little time capsule. A reminder of kitchens that felt safe, familiar and full of something good waiting inside.

The new construction is only one part of what is shaping up to be a milestone year at the park in 2026. When the gates open for the season on March 28, guests will notice upgrades designed to make the day smoother and more immersive.

Meg Donnelly Takes Us Inside Her ‘Moulin Rouge!’ Dressing Room (Exclusive)
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
If you step inside Meg Donnelly’s dressing room at Al Hirschfeld Theatre, be prepared: there are sparkles. There are corsets. There are Polaroids. There is a disco ball she personally installed. And there are, somehow, 15 costume changes waiting to happen at lightning speed. She took us behind the scenes, and we're revealing all.
She wears 15 costumes — and has mere seconds to changeDonnelly, who plays Satine in the Broadway show, cycles through roughly 15 looks each night. Her current favorite? A pink corseted look complete with shorts and a silhouette that makes her feel “really girly and cute.”
“I honestly kind of feel like Glinda a little bit,” she laughs.
View this post on InstagramWhile the designs were already set when she joined the production, she did have input on practical elements, like corset tightness. Singing in a corset? That was a learning curve. Sitting on a swing in one? Even more so.
“It was really challenging at first to learn how to sing with the corset,” she admits. “But they’re so beautiful. It’s outrageous.”
The real athletic feat, though, might be the quick changes. Some happen in literal seconds, like the transition just before “Come What May,” where she swaps pieces in mere moments. Others happen onstage, including a dramatic transformation during “Diamonds,” thanks to a hidden pin that releases her costume in one fluid pull.
“The beginning of the show, I’m not breathing at all,” she says. “I’m just like, ‘Where do I go?’”
Her pre-show ritualsDonnelly arrives at the theater an hour before curtain, even though call time is just 30 minutes prior, in part because she’s learned to do her own stage makeup, something she says she didn’t really know how to do before joining the show. What started as stressful has become meditative.
“I just listen to music,” she says. “It’s actually really relaxing.”
Her must-haves: throat steam, numbing lozenges (“It feels so easy to sing”), and glitter she orders from New Orleans that doubles as the ultimate highlighter. Satine’s single beauty must-have? A bold red lip.
“I’ve been wearing more of a red lip now more than ever,” she says, revealing her go-to shade: Sephora’s “Electric Ruby.”
And because Moulin Rouge! is a love story, she locks it in with a setting product called Lipchic to prevent transfer during those on-stage kisses. “If you’re going to do a red lip, I feel like you should do this anyway,” she says. “So you can eat and it won’t come off.”
Beyond the sequins and stage lights, Donnelly’s dressing room is deeply personal. Gifts from fans are everywhere, as are Polaroids. She’s taken photos with family, friends and former castmates who’ve stopped by, including her Zombies co-stars like Milo Manheim, Trevor Tordjman and Chandler Kinney.
Related: Milo Manheim Is Like a ‘Proud’ Dad Watching ‘Zombies’ Co-Star Freya Skye’s LA Show
“It is so cool having people come and see the show, especially from Zombies, because we grew up together,” she says.
Her boyfriend, Drake Rodger, was there opening week and plans to return for her final performance. His support, she says, “has meant the world.”
Performing eight times a week on an intense Broadway schedule requires an array of easy-yet-healthy options. Donnelly keeps her fridge stocked with electrolytes in “different colors,” grapes, Wheat Thins and Kind Protein Bars, easy fuel for when nerves make it hard to eat before curtain. Her go-to pre-show meal? Chicken and rice.
“It looks really bland and it just sits here,” she jokes, noting that castmates sometimes pop into her dressing room to hang out (and often roast her meal choice.)
Why she's living her dreamPerhaps the most telling detail in the room is the disco ball she bought herself. “It’s really nice,” she says proudly. “There’s lights that you can shine on it and it kind of—”
Turns the dressing room into a party, basically. And that’s what Donnelly brings to Moulin Rouge! The Musical every night: sparkle, heart and the remarkable ability to make it all look effortless.
And if you ask her? She wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Meg Donnelly’s run as Satine in Moulin Rouge! on Broadway comes to a close on March 1.
Bali Named the World’s Best Destination by TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards
Bali, Indonesia, has officially claimed the top spot as the "World's Best Destination" in TripAdvisor's "Travelers' Choice - Best of the Best" awards—a recognition based entirely on millions of real traveler reviews and ratings collected over the past year. The annual awards highlight destinations that consistently earn exceptional feedback, placing Bali above global heavyweights across Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
The "Travelers' Choice - Best of the Best" award is given only to destinations that receive a "high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions" from TripAdvisor's global community. And, of the eight million listings on TripAdvisor, fewer than one percent achieve it.
Often called the "Island of the Gods," Bali's appeal lies largely in its incredible diversity. In a single day, travelers can watch the sunrise over Mount Batur, wander through emerald rice terraces in Ubud, relax on golden beaches in Seminyak, and catch a fiery sunset at Uluwatu Temple perched dramatically above the Indian Ocean. The island seamlessly blends spiritual tradition, natural beauty, and contemporary luxury—a combination that continues to resonate with visitors from around the world.
Related: This Mediterranean Country Has More of the World's Best Beaches Than Any Other
Part of Bali's enduring popularity is its ability to offer something for nearly every type of traveler. Surfers flock to the island's legendary breaks in Uluwatu. Wellness seekers immerse themselves in yoga retreats, jungle resorts, and holistic healing experiences in Ubud. And digital nomads crowd the cozy cafes and coffee shops in Canggu.
Meanwhile, culture enthusiasts can explore centuries-old temples, traditional dance performances, and vibrant local markets. And couples choose Bali for romantic cliffside villas and private infinity pools. In fact, Bali was also named the No. 1 honeymoon destination in the world by TripAdvisor's 2026 "Travelers' Choice" awards.
Affordability also plays a role in Bali's global appeal. Compared with many other award-winning destinations, Bali offers high-end experiences (think: five-star resorts and world-class dining) at relatively accessible price points. This balance of luxury and value makes it especially attractive for longer stays and remote workers.
However, it's worth noting that, as visitor numbers have surged in recent years, Bali is facing growing concerns surrounding overtourism. Traffic congestion, strain on water resources, plastic waste, and pressure on sacred cultural sites have become increasingly visible challenges. While tourism certainly fuels the local economy, unmanaged growth risks eroding the very beauty and traditions that draw travelers in the first place.
Visitors can help by choosing locally owned accommodations, respecting temple etiquette, reducing single-use plastics, supporting sustainable tour operators, and traveling beyond overcrowded hotspots. Responsible tourism ensures Bali's landscapes, culture, and communities thrive for generations to come.
