]]><![CDATA[Are BTS' ARIH Noodles & Drinks Worth The Hype? I Tried Them All]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/lifestyle/bts-arih-noodle-drink-reviewhttps://www.elitedaily.com/lifestyle/bts-arih-noodle-drink-reviewFri, 08 May 2026 21:04:23 GMT

These days, BTS isn’t just keeping fans fed with new music. The global group also recently dropped a lineup of noodles, post-biotic energy drinks, and dual-biotic sodas in collaboration with Korean fusion brand ARIH.

RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook worked alongside ARIH to create the name, flavors, and package design of the Western-Korean instant ramen and canned drinks. Some ARMY may be able to get a taste of the collection at the ARIRANG World Tour. In select cities, ARIH will have an interactive pop-up outside the venue with giveaways. Otherwise, you can shop the full launch now at Walmart and online.

As a proud member of BTS ARMY and a fangirl foodie, I had to try every noodle, energy drink, and dual-biotic soda from ARIH to see what’s worth getting on your next grocery store run. Below, you’ll find my fave flavors, what’s a skip, and which items are each of the members’ biases.

The Comfort Modern Noodles

Inspired by one of BTS’ favorite comfort foods, instant ramen, ARIH has seven Western and Korean flavors of soup-less noodles that you can make at home. There is a range of spice levels from Truffle Bulgogi to K-Super Spicy Seaweed, and each flavor is available as either a microwavable bowl or “noodle pillow” packet. The full lineup includes Black Pepper Tteokbokki, Gochujang Butter, K-Super Spicy Seaweed, Vongole, Soy Sauce Butter, Spicy Seaweed, and Truffle Bulgogi.

Price: The individual bowls are $3. The four-pack for each flavor is a better deal at $9 each.

First impression: The packaging is elevated with a clean, mid-century modern color palette that feels as cool as BTS’ style. Each bowl is also easy to make with simple instructions that you can either follow on the stovetop or in the microwave. I really appreciated how restaurant-quality the fettuccini noodles were, like I was eating at my favorite ramen spot in Los Angeles.

The flavors I like: The Gochujang Butter was the first one I tried, and it really set the bar high for me with a perfect mix of creamy and spicy Korean flavors. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Vongole (with clam oil), which wasn’t too seafood-forward. Lately, I haven’t been a huge spice fan, but the heat didn’t stop me from devouring the Spicy Seaweed and K-Super Spicy Seaweed flavors.

The flavors I liked the least: I enjoyed all the noodles, but some didn’t hit as hard for me. The Truffle Bulgogi was my biggest disappointment, because I wanted more mushroom flavor. I also thought the Soy Sauce Butter and Black Pepper Tteokbokki were just alright, though the black pepper brought out a nice and unexpected spice.

What BTS likes: It seems I’m aligned with RM and Jimin, who enjoy the Gochujang Butter and Vongole noodles, respectively. V, on the other hand, prefers the Truffle Bulgogi and Soy Sauce Butter.

Rating: 4.9/5

The Focus Post-Biotic Energy Drinks

BTS hasn’t stopped working since coming back from their hiatus. Now, they’re on a world tour while promoting ARIRANG and posting dance videos any chance they get. It makes sense they’d need a little extra energy with these ARIH post-biotic sips. Each can comes with 100mg of caffeine and 0g of sugar. The flavors include Blush Berry, Cherry Nova, Jolly Strawberry, Tropical Wave, Lemon Crest, Orange Hour, and Peachy Sunshine.

Price: A single 12-ounce can is $2, while a four-pack is $9.

First impression: The simple color palette is very similar to the noodles, but comes in more vibrant shades to really bring the energy. Despite the zero sugar, these flavors are sweet. They may not be artificial tasting, but they do give off more candy than natural fruit.

The flavors I like: I prefer the more subtle citrus flavors like Orange Hour and Lemon Crest — which tasted just like my fave yellow Starbursts. Even though they were stronger, I also liked the Blush Berry and Peachy Sunshine sips as well.

The flavors I liked the least: The Tropical Wave was good, but had no discernible fruit flavor. It just was generically sweet, and that confused my tastebuds. I was also shocked that the Jolly Strawberry didn’t taste like strawberries. I did enjoy the Cherry Nova, but that was the most candy-like flavor of the bunch.

What BTS likes: As a Jin bias, I wanted to sync up with him and love the Tropical Wave as much as he does. However, I vibed more with Suga and J-Hope’s love for the Orange Hour, as well as Jung Kook’s appreciation for the Lemon Crest.

Rating: 4.7/5

The Balance Dual-Biotic Sodas

As someone who always could use more fiber, I was most excited for the dual-biotic sodas. Each can has 3g of prebiotic fiber, which is meant to be good for your gut and digestion. The flavors include Apple Flare, Berry Bliss, Clear Lemon, Red Ruby Galore, Peach Mango Horizon, Pineapple Drift, and Positive Orange.

Price: A single 12-ounce can is $2, and a four-pack is $9.

First impression: Just like the energy drinks, these sodas are vibrant and Insta-worthy. What makes them different is they are caffeine-free and feature a plant-based fiber with only 2g of organic cane sugar. Some of the flavors were as sweet as the energy drinks, but overall, each can was refreshing, bubbly, and perfect for a hot day.

The flavors I like: ARIH does orange well, because my favorite was the Positive Orange. I also couldn’t put down the Pineapple Drift, and found the Apple Flare and Clear Lemon to be delicious as well.

The flavors I liked the least: The first flavor I tried was the Peach Mango Horizon because I heard that was Jin’s favorite, but it was overly sweet and I had to nurse it for a bit. I also felt the same about the Berry Bliss. The one flavor I couldn’t finish was the Red Ruby Galore. I’m not a huge fan of grapefruit, and this was just as bitter as the real thing.

What BTS likes: As I mentioned, Jin is a fan of the Peach Mango Horizon. It’s OK that our tastebuds don’t match up, because that just means I can share the flavors I don’t like with him. I am, however, linked up with my bias wrecker Suga, who likes Positive Orange, and Jung Kook who prefers the Clear Lemon. As far as J-Hope goes, he can have the rest of my Red Ruby Galore, which is his go-to of the bunch.

Rating: 4.8/5

Are BTS’ ARIH Noodles & Drinks Worth It?

ARIH

If you’re going to pick anything from the ARIH lineup to try, I highly recommend the noodles. They were so much more elevated than other instant brands I’ve tried in the past, and they had really fresh and delicious flavors. The heat on the K-Super Spicy Seaweed almost took me out like I was a celeb on Hot Ones. The quality is undeniable, and BTS really ate with that one.

I also enjoyed taste-testing all the drinks, even though some of the flavors were a skip for me. When everything was right, though, it was delicious. Out of the entire collection, I can’t wait to stock up on more Gochujang Butter noodles, Positive Orange sodas, and Lemon Crest energy drinks to enjoy as I keep scrolling through concert videos on my FYP.

There’s an especially sweet meaning behind Rihanna’s latest piece of body art. The singer recently added to her collection of over 25 tattoos by getting an abstract drawing inked on her right leg. The fresh tat, which sits just above the back of Rih’s right knee, was drawn by her three young kids, all of whom are under the age of 4.

Rihanna showed off the ink in a series of videos posted by New York City’s Bang Bang Tattoo on May 8. The clips show parlor owner Keith Scott "Bang Bang" McCurdy recreating a chaotic scrawling of multicolored marker lines on Rihanna’s skin, using a piece of paper decorated in Paw Patrol stickers for reference.

“Family tats,” read the caption, which confirmed the source of the haphazard drawing: “Designed by her babies.”

It sounds like all three of Rihanna’s children with partner A$AP Rocky collaborated on the scribbles that are now immortalized on their mom’s body. Her eldest son RZA is about to turn 4 this May; middle child Riot will turn 3 in August; and baby Rocki will have her first birthday in September.

Instagram/@bangbangnyc

In the videos from her latest trip to the tattoo parlor, Rihanna reflected on her personal connection to Bang Bang Tattoo, which has been her go-to ink spot for nearly two decades now. “The torture I’ve endured in this shop,” the singer said in a clip, confirming that even after getting several large pieces tatted over the years, she’s still nervous about the process.

Rihanna’s close bond with Bang Bang goes back to 2007, when he inked a Sanskrit prayer on her hip. Bang Bang credits the highly publicized tat as the catalyst for his career as the go-to artist for several A-list celebrities. Since then, Rihanna has enlisted Bang Bang’s services multiple times in the last 19 years (including some tattoos that she’s since covered up... seemingly for personal and not artistic reasons).

But, it’s a pretty safe bet to assume Rihanna isn’t going to regret her latest tattoo. Even if it is a little messy, it represents the greatest loves of her life.

Republic

In a brief filed on May 6, Taylor Swift’s lawyers responded to a Las Vegas showgirl’s trademark lawsuit, in which Maren Flagg claimed that Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album infringed on her trademarked name, “Confessions of a Showgirl.”

Back in March, Flagg’s lawyers filed a suit, alleging that Swift’s latest album and her own “Confessions of a Showgirl” brand (which includes a newspaper column, podcast, and cabaret performances) “share the same structure, the same dominant phrase, and the same overall commercial impression. Both are used in overlapping markets and are directed at the same consumers.” Flagg also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, which would stop Swift from continued use of the Life of a Showgirl brand.

Per Variety, Swift’s lawyers responded to Flagg’s motion in a brief on May 6. “This motion, just like Maren Flagg’s lawsuit, should never have been filed. It is simply Ms. Flagg’s latest attempt to use Taylor Swift’s name and intellectual property to prop up her brand,” the attorneys wrote.

“Plaintiff attempts to broadly lump her cabaret show and defendants’ musical album together as ‘entertainment services.’ That comparison is absurd,” her legal team continued, adding that Flagg only performs at “small intimate venues” — plus, the attorneys noted that Flagg had “no upcoming performances.”

Republic

Swift’s legal team also pointed out Flagg’s history of posting about Life of a Showgirl and using the album in her own marketing. “Since the album announcement, plaintiff has reframed her brand around the album, flooding her social media accounts with posts attempting to align herself with Ms. Swift and the album,” they wrote. “Prior to the album announcement, plaintiff had never used ‘the life of a showgirl’ in her social media promotion. Following the announcement, plaintiff used the phrase or posted generally about Ms. Swift or the album over 40 times on her branded Instagram and TikTok accounts.”

The brief also claimed that Flagg’s commercial use of Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album “constitutes clear infringement under federal law.” Her lawyers wrote, “In fact, a mere four days after Ms. Swift announced her album title and artwork in August 2025, Ms. Flagg announced a brand-new podcast mimicking Ms. Swift’s Album artwork, logo, title, and taglines. Then, plaintiff flooded her Instagram and TikTok pages with 40+ advertisements for her brand using Ms. Swift’s music, trademarks, and other intellectual property without permission.”

The brief goes on to argue that Swift’s album name is protected by the First Amendment: “This is because titles of expressive works ‘implicate the First Amendment rights of freedom of speech’ and ‘consumers are less likely to mistake the use of someone else’s mark in an expressive work for a sign of association, authorship, or endorsement.”

]]><![CDATA[12 Fun Mother-Daughter Trip Ideas Based On TV Shows & Movies]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/lifestyle/mother-daughter-trip-ideas-tv-shows-movieshttps://www.elitedaily.com/lifestyle/mother-daughter-trip-ideas-tv-shows-moviesFri, 08 May 2026 17:49:28 GMT

There are lots of ways to plan a trip with your mom. The tricky part is figuring out where to start. You could choose a destination at random, which can be spontaneous and exciting, but also nerve-wracking for type-A personalities. You could research the top destinations of the year, but then you risk overcrowding while you’re there. My best suggestion? Pick a place you already romanticize.

The shows you marathon-watch and the nostalgic movies you always go back to may offer some amazing suggestions for your next mother-daughter vacation. Gilmore Girls is a prime example: you could craft the most fun itinerary in a Stars Hollow-like setting with the Lorelai to your Rory. There’s also Mamma Mia! — the Grecian backdrop was basically a paid actor, so why not go there with your own Donna?

For any getaway with your mom, familiarity helps. It gives you a built-in structure (e.g., things to do, places to go, a potential shared reference point) without needing to overplan every second. Whether you want something cozy and low-key or more activity-driven, these mother-daughter trip ideas are designed around how you’d actually spend time with your favorite person.

If You Love Gilmore Girls...

Visit: Washington Depot, Connecticut

This is about as close as you can get to real-life Stars Hollow. Washington Depot and nearby Litchfield have that same slightly idealized charm (quiet streets, independent bookstores, local cafés) without feeling overly curated or touristy.

The WB

A typical day here is intentionally low-key. You start with a sweet treat, wander into a bookstore or two, maybe pop into a local market, and then stretch lunch into an afternoon conversation. There’s no pressure to “see everything,” which is exactly why it works. For a mother-daughter trip, it creates space for long, uninterrupted time together — the kind you don’t always get in everyday life. It’s less about activities and more about how those simple moments add up.

If You Love Outer Banks...

Visit: Charleston, South Carolina

The city blends beach town energy with polished Southern charm, which makes it especially easy for any mother-daughter pairing to enjoy without overplanning. Think pastel houses, walkable streets, and *really* good food.

Pro tip: Base yourself in the historic district, so you can do everything on foot. It offers just enough (read: restaurants, shopping, nearby beach access) without feeling overwhelming.

If You Love Harry Potter...

Visit: Yorkshire, England

The rolling hills, stone villages, and slightly dramatic, windswept atmosphere lean fully into a moody, expansive English countryside that feels straight out of Harry Potter. But it’s also tied to a deeper literary history (it’s giving Wuthering Heights) that offers a sense of quiet depth beyond just the visuals.

Start your days with a long countryside walk, visit a small village for lunch, and end the night in a cozy pub. There’s room to explore without pressure. For a mother-daughter trip, that slower pace makes a difference. You’re not rushing between plans; you’re settling into the experience.

If You Love The Summer I Turned Pretty...

Visit: Montauk, New York

Montauk taps into that romanticized beach town feeling that’s everywhere right now, thanks to shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty and Summer House. But compared to other East Coast beach towns, it feels a little less polished and a little more relaxed, making it easier to actually enjoy once you’re there.

Prime Video

A typical day unfolds pretty naturally: slow mornings with coffee, a walk along the beach (even if it’s a little windy), maybe some time browsing local shops before heading into a long, early dinner that turns into the highlight of the day. If you and your mama are looking for a little more adventure, you could always add in a bike ride, a lighthouse stop, or a casual beach picnic.

If You Love Stranger Things...

Visit: Jackson, Georgia

As Stranger Things continues to stay culturally relevant, filming locations like Jackson have quietly become destinations for people who want something a little themed but not overly curated. The town itself is small and easy to navigate, which makes it feel approachable even if your mom’s not all-in on the fandom.

You can visit recognizable filming spots like “Hawkins Library” and the Radio Shack Bob worked at in Season 2, walk through town, and build your day around a few simple stops rather than a packed itinerary. It works especially well as a short, low-pressure trip — something you can do over a weekend.

If You Love Twilight...

Visit: Forks, Washington

Twilight has had a full resurgence on TikTok, and Forks is very much back on the map because of it. But what makes this trip work isn’t just nostalgia, it’s the setting itself: dense, misty forests, dramatic coastlines, and that slightly cinematic mood that feels different from more traditional beach or mountain destinations.

The best way to approach it is as a road trip (if you can handle long car rides with your mom). Start in Forks, then drive through Olympic National Park, stopping along the way before heading out to La Push Beach. The pacing is what makes it special — you’re not trying to see everything at once, just moving through the landscape and letting it unfold. You can stop for short hikes, scenic overlooks, or just time by the water. It’s a little dramatic, very immersive, and surprisingly calming when you’re not in a hurry.

If You Love Ginny & Georgia...

Visit: Wellesley, Massachusetts

Similar to Ginny & Georgia’s similarly named fictional town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts, Wellesley gives that polished New England small-town aesthetic that’s been trending again. It feels affluent, quiet, and just structured enough to make a weekend feel intentional without requiring a tightly packed itinerary. It also taps into that same comfort-watch appeal as Gilmore Girls (another mother-daughter classic), where the setting itself does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Netflix

What makes it especially good right now is the shift toward slower, “cozy” travel — places where you don’t feel pressure to maximize every hour. A typical day here unfolds naturally: coffee in the morning (the kind you linger over), a walk through town or along tree-lined streets, browsing small shops or bookstores, and then a long lunch that stretches into the afternoon. You might add in something light — like a visit to nearby nature trails or a casual dinner out — but the overall vibe is chill.

If You Love Wednesday...

Visit: Transylvania, Romania

Even with Wednesday in between seasons, it continues to be part of the conversation, making Transylvania shift from a niche destination to one people are genuinely curious about — and once you’re there, it’s easy to see why. The region is layered: dramatic castles, forested mountains, and towns that feel almost too cinematic to be real, but in a way that still feels grounded and livable.

The trip naturally balances structure and atmosphere. You and your mom can plan around a few anchor points (Bran Castle, the old town of Brașov, maybe a scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains), and still leave plenty of time to relax.

If You Love XO, Kitty...

Visit: Seoul, South Korea

Seoul is one of the most dynamic options on this list, and right now, it feels especially relevant. Between XO, Kitty, the continued global influence of K-pop, and the ongoing interest in Korean beauty and fashion, the city has a built-in appeal that goes beyond just sightseeing. It’s fast-paced, layered, and constantly evolving, which means you and your Day 1 would never be short on things to do.

This is a more activity-driven trip, but it still works if you build in balance. You might start your day shopping in Goto Mall or browsing skin care in Olive Young, then shift into café-hopping in areas like Seongsu or Garosu-gil. Add in a K-pop–related stop, a palace visit, or even a filming location if you’re leaning into the theme. The key is pacing it out.

If You Love Bridgerton...

Visit: Bath, England

With Bridgerton always fresh on people’s minds, Bath has become one of those rare destinations that looks exactly as good in person as it does on screen. The Georgian architecture, soft color palette, and walkable layout all contribute to a setting that feels cohesive and easy to navigate, even if it’s your first time there.

Netflix

With so much for you and your mom to do, you should try to plan around a few key moments — afternoon tea, a visit to the Roman Baths, maybe a walk through the Royal Crescent — and still leave plenty of time to wander between them. You’re doing enough to feel like you’re experiencing the place, but not so much that it turns into a rigid itinerary.

If You Love Emily In Paris...

Visit: Le Marais, Paris, France

Le Marais feels like the version of Paris people actually want right now — less about landmarks, more about experience. It’s central but not overly touristy, which means better cafés, more interesting shops, and a pace that feels easier to settle into.

Your days don’t need much effort to feel full. You can start with coffee and a croissant, wander through boutiques and vintage stores, maybe stop at a museum or gallery, and build toward a long dinner where you and your mom talk about everything and nothing at the same time. It’s indulgent in a way that doesn’t feel forced.

If You Love Mamma Mia!...

Visit: Skopelos, Greece

This Greek island gives you the exact Mamma Mia! setting — whitewashed buildings, bright blue water, winding hillside streets — without the intensity or crowds of places like Santorini. It feels slower from the moment you arrive, which is part of what makes it so appealing right now, especially as more people are looking for “quieter” versions of classic European destinations.

Universal Pictures

Your days tend to fall into a natural rhythm without much effort: coffee and something light in the morning, a swim at Panormos or Kastani Beach (where parts of the movie were filmed), then a long, unhurried lunch that stretches into the afternoon. Evenings are for walking through town, stopping into small shops, and settling into casual dinners you and your mom will remember forever.

Harry Styles

Harry Styles really brought the disco out for “Dance No More.” The music video for the third single from the Grammy winner’s album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally dropped on May 7, and features Styles and a group of dancers doing choreo in a large gymnasium.

As Styles moves around the room and sings, “‘DJs don't dance no more,’ they said,” he influences everyone else to get up out of their seats and groove. It’s a fairly simple concept that fits the synth-pop track so well, and only takes place in one location.

In January, Styles released the music video for his first single from KATTDO, “Aperture,” which was filmed at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. This time around, any Harries hoping to visit the new filming location will need to grab their passports, because it looks like the so-called gym used in “Dance No More” was located at the Pavillon Baltard — in Nogent-sur-Marne, France.

Harry Filmed “Dance No More” Near A Popular Location

The large space — which is actually a concert hall and not a gym — is about a 20-minute drive from Paris, and was built in the 1850s. It features arched windows all around, which you can see in the video as it goes from day to night.

This isn’t the first time that Styles has filmed something in France for Kiss All The Time. In February, he recorded a live performance of “Carla’s Song” at the Bourdelle Museum in Paris.

The New Hot Spot

It seems France is the It place to shoot a music video in 2026, because Olivia Rodrigo just filmed “Drop Dead” from you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love at the Palace of Versailles. If you’re a fangirl planning a trip overseas, you might want to visit a few of these musical set-jet locations near the “City of Light.” After stopping into the Bourdelle Museum and Palace of Versailles — which was also used for the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty — just drive 20 minutes or take a 40-minute bus ride to Nogent-sur-Marne to see the Pavillon Baltard.

The venue is actually available to rent. So if you’re really feeling adventurous — and have the budget — you could always book the space for yourself and recreate Styles’ video. Just make sure to grab some red shorts, a white button down, and yellow tie so you have the look as well.

For the most part, Zoë Kravitz has remained silent on her relationship with Harry Styles, but she couldn’t keep quiet after noticing an Instagram post that she deemed distasteful. Various outlets (including Page Six and E! News) confirmed that Kravitz left a pointed comment on a recent Hulu carousel, which has since been deleted. In the post, the streamer used Kravitz’s 2020 series High Fidelity to make a knowing reference to her engagement to Styles — which Kravitz did not take kindly to, for a few different reasons.

On April 27, the day that Kravitz’s engagement to Styles was confirmed, Hulu shared several photos of Kravitz’s High Fidelity character Rob Brooks, a music fanatic who owned a record store in the reimagining of Nick Hornby’s 1995 novel. “Robyn Brooks definitely has Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally on her playlist,” the caption read, referencing Styles’ recently release album.

About a week later, Kravitz left a candid response in the comments. "This is tacky," she wrote, prompting Hulu to delete the post shortly afterwards.

Kravitz has actively tried not to draw attention to her engagement to Styles, opting to hide her diamond ring during the Met Gala a few days after the relationship update was revealed. But there’s a deeper reason why Hulu’s post set Kravitz off.

Since High Fidelity was prematurely canceled after just one season, Kravitz has been very vocal about Hulu’s controversial decision to not renew her series. “It’s cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait,” Kravitz wrote in 2020 right after the cancelation was announced.

A couple years later, she criticized the streamer again in a 2022 Elle interview. “They didn’t realize what that show was and what it could do,” Kravitz said, mourning how the series was cut short. “It meant something to people. It was a big mistake.”

As recently as November 2025, Kravitz has still been passionate about trying to resurrect High Fidelity, as co-star Da’Vine Joy Randolph revealed in a Rolling Stone interview at that time: "We all feel the same way. Zoë and I talk about it all the time, like, 'How can we figure this out? Give it back to the people,' but really give it back to us, because we just really love it."

So, it’s even more understandable why Hulu using such a sensitive project to joke about Kravitz’s private life touched a nerve.

Laufey is in her recovery era. The 27-year-old Icelandic jazz singer (full name: Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir) just wrapped back-to-back weekends at Coachella, sharing the bill with headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. Now she has a small window to breathe before her A Matter of Time Tour picks back up in Asia on May 15, and she plans to use it.

“I've been going pretty hard for a couple months now,” she tells Elite Daily. “I hope I can find moments of rest in between, and for the rest of the year as well.”

The intentional pause is a whole vibe for her right now. On May 2, the Grammy winner played an intimate show at the Americana at Brand outdoor mall in Los Angeles, hosted by modern teahouse CHAGEE. The pairing tracks: Laufey’s everyday self-care includes matcha or black tea with milk and honey. “My fans love anything that is both thoughtful and delicious, like our little daily tea drinks,” she says.

Two days before the show, Laufey hopped on a Zoom with Elite Daily to talk Coachella comedown, her favorite Icelandic skin care, and the joy of corralling her “Wasian Avengers” like Hudson Williams and Lola Tung for her mega-viral “Madwoman” music video.

Elite Daily: What are your self-care must-haves at a festival like Coachella?

Laufey: Lots and lots of water, because it's dry in the desert. I have this SOS spray from Tower 28 that I spritz on my face on flights. It wipes out the bacteria. Both my dermatologist and my makeup artist were like, “You have to use this,” and after two people tell you to use something, you really just do.

I also make sure that my skin care routine is really good. I've been using a lot of eye patches. I don't know if it makes a huge difference in how I look, but it makes a difference in how I feel. I make sure to also have a good sip of my daily matcha or black tea with some milk and honey. I always need a little treat for the day, and then, I put on an outfit that makes me feel confident.

ED: Do you have any favorite eye patches?

L: There's a brand called BIOEFFECT, which is Icelandic. I'm from Iceland, so I love using Icelandic skin care. They just know how to do it, and everything there is so clean and wonderful.

ED: Walk me through your typical morning routine.

L: I wake up and immediately wash my face. I use CeraVe’s face wash and moisturizer. Then, I brush my teeth, and usually, I braid my hair to go to the gym. I like getting a good moment of physical exercise.

After the gym, I grab a little caffeine drinkie and go on with whatever it is I have planned for the day. I also usually call my sister [Junia Lín Jónsdóttir] and family, because they're all either on the East Coast or in Iceland.

ED: Anything special for your skin pre-show?

L: Not really. I just make sure that it's prepped well, so that the makeup stays on and doesn't get crusty. At Coachella, I used the ONE/SIZE finishing spray with the sunscreen.

Once I'm on stage, it's kind of out of glam's hands. You have to pray that it stays on and stays looking good.

ED: And after the show?

L: At night, it's a race to bed for me. The second I get off stage, I'm like, “Let's go home.” I use Bioderma [micellar water] and a cotton pad to take all my makeup off. Then, sometimes, I'll go in with a cleanser, if it's really stubborn. I make sure to take my contacts out immediately too, and put a thick moisturizer on.

ED: Do you do anything different when you're going to be on camera?

L: Doing makeup for camera is a little different, because you have a little more control. There's usually a little more powder involved, and I’ll use whatever the makeup artist is using that day.

Laufey

ED: What was it like uniting the “Wasian Avengers” of Hudson Williams, Lola Tung, Alysa Liu, and Megan Skiendiel from KATSEYE for your “Madwoman” music video?

L: I loved it so much. When I was younger, I didn't really have people around me or in the media who looked remotely like me. But even with how far we've moved along, I still often get compared to and mixed up with a lot of these women. So I thought it would be funny to join forces for a music video and have a lot of my doppelgängers in there. Then of course, the Wasian man of the moment, Hudson Williams.

We were hanging out the whole time in between shots. It made it so much fun.

ED: Favorite memories from set?

L: I was a little nervous going in because everyone's so amazing. I was like, “Who am I to do this?” I thought everyone was just going to be in their own little corner, but we were hanging out the whole time in between shots. It made it so much fun.

ED: Is there now a Hollywood Wasian group chat of people from the video?

L: Yes and no. Not really. It doesn't have a name.

ED: How do you like to decompress after a busy day?

L: A festival is fun, because you usually aren't playing a show again the next day. At Coachella, I loved running off to Karol G's set and watching her play. After all of those hours spent preparing, you can let loose, so that’s what I did to have fun.

Rachel Chapman

ED: How do you treat yourself in your time off?

L: Recently, I've been loving cooking. I'm still learning how to be good, but I just love the process of following directions in a cookbook and trying to make something. When it works, it feels like such a magical moment.

ED: What are you manifesting the rest of 2026 for yourself?

L: Good health and some rest.

Billie Eilish knows what she is and isn’t eating for lunch, no matter the controversy it may stir up. The singer recently made a bold claim that anyone who actually loves animals would never eat meat, which quickly sparked a lot of intense opinions online. But the reaction didn’t cause Eilish to back down. Quite the opposite — the pop star forced naysayers to confront the ugliest sides of the meat industry by posting several graphic slaughterhouse videos to her Instagram Stories on May 7.

The whole saga began when Eilish was asked what hill she’d die on in an April 28 Elle video. “Y’all not gonna like me for this one,” Eilish warned, before sharing her polarizing take: “Eating meat is inherently wrong.” She went on to clarify she believes it’s hypocritical for any self-proclaimed animal lover to be carnivorous. “Two things cannot coincide: ‘I love all animals so much and I eat meat.’ You just can’t do both. Sorry!” Eilish said. “You could eat meat, go for it. You could love animals. But you can’t do both.”

As Eilish had guessed, the statement proved divisive. A little over a week later, the singer doubled down on her belief by posting a string of videos showing violence against animals within the meat and dairy industry to her Instagram, many of which the app flagged for sensitive content. After the clips, Eilish wrote a statement to anyone disagreeing with her take.

“Go watch a documentary or two and some footage of what is done to the animals you claim to love and what it does to the planet you pretend to love as well,” Eilish wrote. “If that footage was hard for you to watch, I encourage you to please take a look at yourself. Like I am so tired of standing up for/having empathy for living beings being controversial. Please continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and denial and try to convince yourself that you’re not living a lie.”

Eilish, who was raised as a vegetarian in her youth before she became vegan around age 12, has been vocal about her dietary choices for years. She explained why she chose to become a vegan in a 2021 Vogue video.

“I learned about the dairy industry and the meat industry, which I already knew about. Once you know about that kind of thing and you see it, it’s really hard to go back,” Eilish said at the time. “And, even now, while I have many friends that eat dairy and meat and I don’t want to tell anybody what to do, I just can’t go on in my life knowing what’s going on in the animal world and not doing anything about it.”

The WB

Gilmore Girls is responsible for a lot of cultural touchstones: Stars Hollow, Luke Danes, the phrase “oy with the poodles already.” A Mother's Day episode, however, is not one of them — a genuinely unhinged omission for a show whose entire premise is one mother and her daughter. Lorelai would’ve made it a whole production. So should you.

So if you're still figuring out what to do with your mom this May, consider this your sign to go full Gilmore. Rory famously tried to gift her mom the world's largest pizza for her birthday, so it's safe to assume she would've gone even bigger for a Sunday that was literally about Lorelai. Here's a Gilmore Girls-coded itinerary to steal for yours — no 35 classic novels required.

9 a.m.: Order The Special Omelet At Your Local Diner

Netflix

This is about as close to Luke's Diner as it gets: a hometown spot where the coffee never stops coming and nobody blinks when you order roughly three breakfasts between the two of you. Commandeer two tables, linger over refills, and take your sweet time. Bonus points if Mom flirts with the server à la Lorelai and Luke. (Extra bonus points if she has no idea she's doing it.)

11 a.m.: Right Mom's Most Recent Wrong

If you and Mom call each other 14 times a day, you already know her running list of micro-grievances by heart. Today's the day to fix them. Was the bakery out of her favorite scone the last time she stopped by? Hit it again and stock up. Did the dry cleaner close before she could swing by for her favorite dress? Handle the drop-off yourself and set a reminder in her phone for pickup. None of this has to break the bank — it just shows you actually listen when she calls.

12 p.m.: Go For The “International Grab Bag”

Remember when the only thing that got Rory and Lorelai excited about a Yale visit was the nearest Mexican restaurant? Find the best hole-in-the-wall taco spot in town and order one of everything. Free chips and salsa are non-negotiable. Once you're set up, rank every taco from best to worst and argue about it until the server comes back.

2 p.m.: Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

Netflix

You've done a lot of walking. Time to refuel like a Gilmore. Post up at a coffee shop with a window seat and commit to some serious people-watching. Make up backstories for every stranger who walks in, or play the classic Gilmore Girls game: one, two, three, he's yours. Just be ready to accept your fate if the third man through the door turns out to be Kirk.

4 p.m.: Walk & Talk Your Way Through Downtown

Lorelai and Rory's natural gait is “power-walking while delivering a monologue,” so pick a walkable stretch — a cute main street, a downtown shopping district, a mall food court if your town still has one — and cover some ground. Window-shop, sample everything the food court is giving out for free, and talk fast enough that you can count it all as cardio. Pretend Emily Gilmore is about to round the corner on her own shopping tirade at any moment.

6 p.m.: Order Too Much Chinese Food & Queue Up A Trilogy

Head back to Mom's, order Chinese food from at least two different places (leftovers are a feature, not a bug), and pick something you've both been meaning to watch. A Star Is Born triple feature is peak Gilmore energy — Judy, Babs, and Lady Gaga back-to-back-to-back — and you can spend the whole night debating which one Lorelai would've defended the hardest. (It's Babs. Obviously.)

Before you call it, ask Mom what her favorite part of the day was. Fair warning: this might become the tradition.

Billie Eilish is joining artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé with her very own concert film. Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour Live in 3D is landing in theaters on May 8, and thanks to Instagram, I was lucky enough to be invited to the Los Angeles premiere on May 6.

Before hitting the blue carpet, some of Eilish’s biggest fans were treated to a party at LULU Restaurant near the Hammer Museum with a themed drink menu and puppy pen of adoptable dogs. In between bites of vegan hors d'oeuvres, I sat down with two superfans to chat about their love for Eilish and what Hit Me Hard and Soft really means for them.

For anyone who couldn’t make it to the premiere, here’s a peak inside Eilish’s big night.

Party With Billie’s Close Fans Only

The evening began at LULU, where my first stop was the bar to order a zero-proof gin and tonic aptly named the Hit Me Soft, before sitting down with Madison Wood (@woodmadii), a a longtime Eilish diehard. “I’ve been following Billie since 2021,” the 17-year-old says. The New York-based “super fan” was flown out for the premiere, and had a chance to meet Eilish’s mom, Maggie Baird, on the carpet. “I've stayed connected to Billie through all of her fans, especially the account @BillieEilishTours on Instagram,” Wood says. “I've made a lot of friends through them, because they post group chats for the concerts.”

The anonymous creators behind @BillieEilishTours (which has over a million followers on IG) were also at the Close Fans Only meetup. “We get the sweetest DMs all the time from fans, like, ‘Thank you guys so much for what you're doing,’” they say. “My favorite memory is when we went to a Billie concert. We were standing outside, and we posted something. Suddenly, you hear, ‘Billie Eilish Tours just posted,’ and everyone was on their phone. That's my favorite thing that happens.”

One time we posted a video of her laughing, and she was like, ‘Why am I clapping like that?’

Even though Eilish doesn’t follow the fan account on IG (she doesn’t follow anyone), the “Birds of a Feather” singer has commented on their posts before. “One time we posted a video of her laughing, and she was like, ‘Why am I clapping like that?’”

Both Wood and Billie Eilish Tours were most excited to see their fave pop star IRL at the premiere later, but first, attendees at the party got an exclusive look at photos in Eilish’s camera roll thanks to IG’s Close Fans Only series. There were also dogs that guests could play with, inspired by the “puppy room” Eilish had backstage at every venue on her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. You could even add charms to a collar that would then be donated to a local shelter for rescue pups.

After chowing down on some spring rolls and sipping on our bubbly drinks, it was time to head over to the Westwood Village Theatre for the movie, so guests grabbed their tote bags with a signed vinyl from Eilish and started the 7-minute walk.

Instead of a red carpet, Eilish had a blue one to match her Hit Me Hard and Soft aesthetic. We all got to walk down, and take as many pics as we needed for IG before Eilish arrived. She didn’t just show up by herself, either. Eilish and boyfriend Nat Wolff hard launched their relationship on the carpet before she went down the press line solo.

I just want you to have fun and make memories.

During this time, I was enjoying drinks and light bites at the end of the carpet with the other invited guests, waiting for Eilish to make her way to us. Once all the interviews were done, it was time to go inside and enjoy the concert film with some popcorn. Before it played, Eilish and her co-director, James Cameron, gave a thank you speech. “I want to encourage you all, obviously watch the movie, but have fun and don’t be scared to sing along, scream, and I think you can dance,” says Eilish. “I just want you to have fun and make memories.”

I definitely had an unforgettable time dancing in my seat with new and old friends. It was, as Eilish sings, “the greatest.”

Justin Baldoni's 'It Ends With Us' Lawsuit Timeline]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-it-ends-with-us-trial-timelinehttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-it-ends-with-us-trial-timelineThu, 07 May 2026 17:19:35 GMT

Ever since It Ends With Us premiered in the fall of 2024, the movie’s cast has been embroiled in drama. And it sounds like the public dispute won’t be ending anytime soon. After co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively filed damning lawsuits against one another, a judge set their court date for mid-2026.

However, a few weeks before the trial was set to begin, Lively and Baldoni reached a settlement. Here’s a full timeline of the legal saga — including the joint statement their attorneys issued on May 4.

August 2024: Fans Notice Tension

Before anything litigious went down, Baldoni and Lively’s behavior leading up to the It Ends With Us premiere was sending up red flags. Several people began to notice the movie’s two lead actors strangely weren’t doing any press together. Speculation about a rift exploded after the premiere red carpet event, where Baldoni did not take any photos or interact with any of his cast members.

Dec. 21, 2024: Lively Files A Legal Complaint

On Dec. 21, the New York Times published the legal complaint that Lively had filed against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment on the film’s set and orchestrating a smear campaign against her during the movie’s promotion. Ten days later, Lively officially filed a lawsuit on these claims against Baldoni and his PR team.

Jan. 16, 2025: Baldoni Sues Lively

A couple weeks after Lively’s suit, Baldoni shot back with one of his own. In his Jan. 16 filing, Baldoni accused Lively of defamation, claiming that she was intentionally misrepresenting his actions in her lawsuit.

Feb. 1, 2025: Baldoni Creates A Website With His Timeline Of Events

At the start of February, Baldoni shared a massive dump of screenshots of redacted emails and text messages to a website he created in an attempt to prove his side of the story. A few days later, Lively’s lawyers subpoenaed all of Baldoni’s phone records, claiming that the website Baldoni and his lawyer Bryan Freedman created left out important context.

"We will now receive all of the 'receipts' that, unsurprisingly, are nowhere to be found on Mr. Freedman’s website," the statement read. "And like Ms. Lively, those 'receipts' will have their day in court."

Freedman responded to the subpoena: "This massive fishing expedition demonstrates that they are desperately seeking any factual basis for their provably false claims. They will find none."

Sony

Feb. 18, 2025: Lively Amends Her Complaint To Include 2 Unnamed Co-Stars

After Baldoni’s website went live, Lively’s legal team added significant claims to her formal complaint, most notably mentioning that Baldoni made other women on the It Ends With Us set “uncomfortable,” and two other actresses in the movie are prepared to testify against him, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“These victim-witnesses have given Ms. Lively permission to share their communications in the Amended Complaint as they are laid out, and they will testify and produce documents in the discovery process,” a spokesperson told the publication.

THR speculated these unnamed actresses may be Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer — the only other female leads besides Lively in the movie — but that has yet to be confirmed.

March 6, 2025: Lively & Reynolds Request Protective Order For Private Texts

NBC/NBCUniversal/Getty Images

During a March 6 hearing, Lively and Reynolds’ legal team team asked for a protective order over concerns that Baldoni would “leak” messages between Lively and her A-list friends. “There is a significant chance of irreparable harm if marginal conversations with high profile individuals with no relevance to the case were to fall into wrong hands,” the couple’s attorney, Meryl Conant Governski, said during the virtual court hearing, per Page Six.

“There are 100 million reasons for these parties to leak information because the PR value is greater than complying with the court’s orders,” she continued. (The public has already seen some texts between Lively and Baldoni, in which she referred to her A-list supporters as her “dragons.”) The couple’s team is seeking an “attorney’s eyes only” category for sensitive information, which would include texts and Lively’s medical records.

In response, Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, agreed that Lively’s medical records should remain private. However, Freedman took issue with the notion of protecting celebrity texts. “What the other side is asking for because there is celebrity, because there is powerful people in the industry … somehow there is a different law that applies to them,” he said during the hearing, per Deadline. Freedman also said that he had “gone to great lengths to not mention third parties by name,” per Page Six.

May 9, 2025: Taylor Swift Is Subpoenaed By Baldoni’s Team

Despite Lively and Reynolds’ request, one of their most famous friends was publicly wrangled into the legal drama in early May. Baldoni’s team subpoenaed Taylor Swift in April though it was not made public until May 9. At the time, a rep for Swift slammed the subpoena, noting Swift “never set foot on the set of this movie,” accusing the legal move of being “designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”

The subpoena is likely in relation to Baldoni’s claim that he felt “pressured” by a “megacelebrity friend” of Lively’s to adjust a scene in the script during a meeting at her penthouse.

A day after the subpoena, Lively’s rep similarly criticized the action as an attempt to capitalize on the media frenzy around the case.

“Mr. Baldoni, Mr. Sarowitz, and team continue to turn a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into entertainment for the tabloids, going as far as suggesting that they sell tickets to a concert venue - Madison Square Garden - to witness Ms. Lively’s deposition, to subpoenaing Taylor Swift, a woman who has given a voice to millions all over the world," Lively’s rep said in a statement to People. "This is a very serious legal matter, not Barnum & Bailey’s Circus.”

May 12, 2025: Swift’s Longtime Law Firm Responds To Their Subpoena

Baldoni’s team subpoenaed Swift’s law firm, Venable, in their case against Lively on April 29. On May 12, the firm responded in their own filing, calling the subpoena an “abuse of the discovery process.”

“Venable had nothing to do with the film at issue or any of the claims or defenses asserted in the underlying lawsuit,” the firm wrote, per a May 13 Billboard report. “There is no reason for this subpoena other than to distract from the facts of the case and impose undue burden and expense on a non-party.”

May 14, 2025: Baldoni’s Lawyer Claims Lively Tried To “Intimidate” Swift Into Supporting Her

A May 14 letter from Baldoni’s lawyer to the judge outlined their reasons for subpoenaing Swift’s lawyers at Venable. “The Lively Defendants' insistence that the Subpoena seeks irrelevant information is wrong,” Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, wrote in the letter.

According to Freedman, the subpoena was made to uncover “discovery relating to witness tampering and evidence spoliation.” He added that a “source who is highly likely to have reliable information” gave him a tip that claimed Lively asked Swift to delete text messages.

Freedman also alleged that Lively’s attorney contacted Swift’s lawyer “and demanded that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature in Ms. Lively's possession would be released.”

Freedman claimed that the informant said that Swift's representative “addressed these inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats” from Lively’s legal team. According to him, this could be evidence of “an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation,” which is why they subpoenaed these communications.

Lively’s attorney Mike Gottlieb responded to the letter in a statement to People. “This is categorically false. We unequivocally deny all of these so-called allegations, which are cowardly sourced to supposed anonymous sources, and completely untethered from reality,” he said. “This is what we have come to expect from the Wayfarer parties’ lawyers, who appear to love nothing more than shooting first, without any evidence, and with no care for the people they are harming in the process. We will imminently file motions with the court to hold these attorneys accountable for their misconduct here.”

May 15, 2025: Lively's Lawyer Slams Claims She Tried To Pressure Swift

Following Freedman’s letter, Lively’s legal team requested that the judge strike it from the record, adding that the letter in question was full of “scandalous and defamatory allegations about Ms. Lively” and “abus[ed] the Court’s docket,” per People.

On May 15, Freedman responded by doubling down on his claims, submitting a signed affidavit under the penalty of perjury. In it, he claimed the still unnamed source was “very closely linked to Taylor Swift.”

Freedman alleged that Lively’s legal team had contacted Swift’s back in February and “requested, on Ms. Lively' s behalf, that Taylor Swift make a social media statement in support of Ms. Lively given her absence from the Super Bowl that year, and stated that if Ms. Swift failed to do so, Ms. Lively would release '10 years' of private texts with Ms. Swift.”

But Judge Liman granted Gottlieb’s motion to strike Freedman’s letter and affidavit, deciding that it was “improper” and “irrelevant to any issue before this Court.” In his decision, he warned Freedman, “Counsel is advised that future misuse of the Court’s docket may be met with sanctions.”

Following Liman’s decision, Gottlieb released a statement to People: “Another day, another bogus filing designed for clickbait. We reiterate our unequivocal denial.” He added, “These claims remain completely untethered from reality — to be clear: The conversations as described did not happen, and we will hold Mr. Freedman accountable for his misconduct.”

June 9, 2025: Baldoni’s Countersuit Is Thrown Out

On June 9, Judge Liman tossed out Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit against Lively and Reynolds. Reminder: In the January filing, Baldoni accused Lively of defamation, citing her December 2024 legal complaint. According to CNN, Liman ruled that Lively’s complaint is “protected by the fair report privilege,” hence his decision to dismiss Baldoni’s countersuit. Baldoni’s $250 million libel suit against the The New York Times was also thrown out.

In his decision, Liman wrote that the January suit “alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign,” per Page Six.

But according to Liman, those accusations do not meet the criteria for defamation. “The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law,” Liman continued.

Lively’s team released a statement about the ruling. “Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times,” they told USA Today.

“As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it," her lawyers’ statement continued. "We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.”

Oct. 31, 2025: Baldoni’s Countersuit Is Officially Ended

After Judge Liman tossed out Baldoni’s countersuit, Baldoni’s legal team had the option to file an amended complaint to keep the lawsuit active. After failing to do so, Liman officially ended the $400 million suit at the end of October.

With Baldoni’s countersuit now killed, the upcoming court date will deal only with Lively’s still-active lawsuit against Baldoni.

April 2, 2026: Lively’s Sexual Harassment Claims Are Dismissed

A few months after Baldoni’s countersuit was tossed out, Lively’s filing was whittled down by Judge Liman, who dismissed all of her sexual harassment claims. Liman’s ruling hinged on Lively’s status as an independent contractor in a creative field, rather than a standard employee.

“Assuming [Baldoni] was improvising, the conduct was not so far beyond what might reasonably be expected to take place between two characters during a slow dancing scene such that an inference of hostile treatment on the basis of sex would arise,” Liman wrote, per CBS News. “At least in isolation, the conduct was directed to Lively's character rather than to Lively herself.”

While the judge threw out all of Lively’s sexual harassment claims, he left the actor’s allegations of retaliation intact. A court date is set for May 18 to begin the trial.

May 4, 2026: Lively & Baldoni Reach A Settlement

Lively and Baldoni reached a settlement on May 4, two weeks before the case was set to go to trial. "The end product – the movie It Ends With Us – is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind," their attorneys wrote in a joint statement read, per People.

"We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard. We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments,” the statement continued. “It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online."

On May 5, Page Six reported that Lively and Baldoni earned no money in their settlement, while their legal teams made $60 million combined throughout the course of the legal saga.

May 7, 2026: Lively Is Seeking Monetary Damages

The legal battle isn’t over just yet. Days after reaching a settlement, Lively is now seeking attorney’s fees, compensatory damages, and punitive damages.

“This settlement is a resounding victory for Blake Lively. By agreeing to this settlement, and waiving their right to appeal, Justin Baldoni and every individual defendant now face personal liability for abusing the legal system to silence and intimidate Ms. Lively,” Lively’s attorneys said in a statement to TheWrap on May. 7.

“And by admitting that Ms. Lively’s concerns ‘deserved to be heard,’ the defendants have ended once and for all the fiction that Ms. Lively ‘fabricated’ claims of sexual harassment and retaliation,” the statement continued. “From day one, Blake Lively’s mission was clear: expose and hold accountable those who weaponize smear campaigns and retaliatory lawsuits to intimidate and silence survivors. That mission continues.”

Baldoni’s lawyer responded to the news in a statement to TMZ. “Let’s be clear, this is a win and total victory for the Wayfarer parties. The court had already dismissed 10 of Ms. Lively’s 13 claims, including every sexual harassment claim, every defamation claim, and all claims against the individual defendants. Ms. Lively voluntarily dismissed the rest,” he said. “In our view, they settled because they knew they were going to lose in court. All that remains is a pending request for fees based on a very narrow issue that has been with the court since September 2025.”

You never outgrow a Disney vacation. You simply find new ways to enjoy the magic if you get a chance to go as a teenager, college student, or super-cool Disney adult. That’s something I quickly learned on a recent trip to Walt Disney World with my mom.

The last time my family and I hit up the four main parks in Orlando, Florida, over the course of a week, I was still watching Hannah Montana and considering trying out for the drama club after admiring Zac Efron in High School Musical. As I got older, our family vacays shifted from theme parks to European excursions and all-inclusive cruises.

Even though I’ve done quick trips to the Disney Parks over the years, my family hasn’t dedicated multiple days to seeing and doing everything like we used to when I was a child. That is, until earlier this season, when I was invited to experience Walt Disney World with my mom once again. For five days, we scheduled every park, including Blizzard Beach, into a nostalgic itinerary that reminded me of how much fun it can be to ride a Doom Buggy into the Haunted Mansion and snap a pic with Mickey Mouse.

I saw my mom doing things I never thought I’d see her do again.

The minute I stepped inside the Magic Kingdom with my mom and saw Cinderella Castle, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia that brought back memories long forgotten, like the time my dad saved us a spot on Main Street U.S.A. for the parade while we got treats at the confectionery. Having my mom there to reminisce with me helped to fill in any details I was missing, and that was a serotonin boost that made both of us feel 20 years younger.

She was so hyped for this vacation — I saw my mom doing things I never thought I’d see her do again. For example, she was always the one to opt out of thrill rides back in the day, but this time, my mom wanted to go on roller coasters like TRON Lightcycle / Run and Slinky Dog Dash. She even played along and froze when they yelled out “Andy’s coming” at the Toy Story-themed Roundup Rodeo BBQ. (IYKYK.)

The theme of the week was a bit of old versus new. We visited our favorite spots like the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, before trying new dishes at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. My wardrobe also fit the vibe. Each day, I wore a vintage Disney tee from my parents’ closet, so we could re-create family photos in the same spots they were once taken.

The best part of all was that after years of my parents treating me to Disney vacations, I could finally return the favor and see the joy in my mom’s eyes during the fireworks. What she and I realized is that a Disney trip isn’t just for meeting animated characters and riding Dumbo the Flying Elephant, it’s about making memories with the people you love. And, of course, there really is no age limit to enjoying a few Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars.

Whether it’s been a minute since you’ve been to “the Most Magical Place on Earth,” or you’ve never been at all, I highly suggest Disney for your next mother-daughter trip, no matter how old you are.

Before she was owning the courtroom, Elle Woods was just trying to get through high school. The new Legally Blonde prequel series Elle will explore what the unstoppable fashionista’s teenage years were like, and with a new time period comes a new Elle. Reese Witherspoon is still be on board as an executive producer for the show, but a new actor will be donning the hot-pink couture to play a teenage version of the future lawyer. While there’s a lot of excitement around this new chapter in Elle’s life, a recent trailer has also totally thrown fans for a loop.

Elle was first announced in May 2024, with Witherspoon confirming the Prime Video series will be set before the collegiate events of Legally Blonde. “Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do,” Witherspoon said in a statement.

The announcement came in the midst of the long-delayed third installment of the Legally Blonde movies. Legally Blonde 3 was confirmed in 2020 and supposed to premiere in 2022, but has since been pushed back to an undecided date.

While the prospects for this third movie haven’t been the best, fans of the franchise can look forward to diving into Elle just in time for Legally Blonde’s 25th anniversary.

MGM

Filming Began In January 2025

Witherspoon gave a promising update on Elle’s status in a Jan. 29, 2025 People interview. “I'm really excited. We start in March,” the EP confirmed. She confirmed production had begun in early April.

The Next Elle Woods Was Revealed

In February, the new Elle Woods was announced to be Lexi Minetree. Witherspoon revealed the casting in a cute video, sharing the big news with Minetree for the first time. A couple months later, production on Elle officially began, and Witherspoon marked the occasion by sharing the first photo of Minetree in character as Elle.

This marks Minetree’s first leading role. She’s previously appeared in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the historical spy drama Serov.

“Ok ok ok, my brain is going nuts over here I don’t even know where to BEGIN,” Minetree wrote on Instagram upon getting cast. “Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to [Reese Witherspoon] for handing me down Elle Woods. I already love her so so much, I promise she’s in good hands.”

The Rest Of The Cast Came Together

While Elle’s parents only had brief appearances in the Legally Blonde movies, they’ll play a much larger part in her origin story. Elle’s mom Eva will be played by June Diane Raphael, with Tom Everett Scott playing her father, Wyatt.

The series has also confirmed a trio of Elle’s high school classmates. Jacob Moskovitz will play a star athlete named Miles who has a soft spot for Elle. Chandler Kinney will make Elle’s life difficult as Kimberly, a senior who isn’t particularly fond of the future lawyer. And Gabrielle Policano will play a character named Liz, who’s simply described as “the anti-Elle Woods.”

High School Starts Summer 2026

Prime Video

In Jan. 21 Instagram Reel, Witherspoon revealed the exact premiere date for the new series, which will come to Prime Video on July 1 — in other words, it’s coming just in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Legally Blonde.

The First Trailer Divided Fans Over An Unexpected Location Change

YouTube/Prime Video

When the first trailer for Elle dropped on May 6, Legally Blonde fans were left a bit confused. In the clip, it’s revealed the show will follow Elle as she’s forced to leave Bel Air and start a new life in Seattle, Washington due to her father’s new job. While this set-up is sure to deliver hilarious moments of pink and perky Elle clashing with the northwestern city’s ‘90s grunge scene, many fans felt like the premise undercut the significance of the 2001 movie.

“If she experienced the same culture shock and learned the same lessons before why did she have to go through it again 4 years later,” one viral response read. “Elle Woods in Legally Blonde is the quintessential rich LA girl which is why Harvard is such a fish out of water experience for her… what do you mean she lived in Seattle,” another reply pointed out.

In that same vein, several other viral reactions to the trailer called out the prequel’s story as being redundant.

Season 2 Is Already Confirmed

Witherspoon revealed that the new series was already renewed for a second season. “I just got off the phone with Amazon, and they loved the show so much, they ordered a Season 2,” she told the cast over FaceTime.

Dixie D’Amelio is ready to have some fun again.

After stepping back from social media for several months, the 24-year-old made her long-overdue return to YouTube at the start of 2026. D’Amelio’s first video back followed her a few thousand feet in the air as she prepared to jump from a hot-air balloon. The video also featured a confessional where the influencer-turned-singer reflected on the changes she’s making in this new era to protect her peace and start living her life without constantly worrying that everything is going to fall apart.

“I’ve grown so much, and I’m so much more comfortable in my body. That’s made everything easier. I just had to grow up,” D’Amelio says as we sit down at the Celsius Soccer Classic, a Celsius-produced charity soccer event in Los Angeles to celebrate the energy drink’s newest flavor, Electric Vibe. She’s wearing a white soccer jersey with a brace on her knee, ready to join her teammates — Rob Rausch, David Dobrik, Zane Hijazi, Griffin Johnson, Josh Richards, Macy Broyles, and Adam Waheed — to fight for the championship title. While her team, White Stallions, is knocked out in the first round, she won’t let it deter her from putting herself back out there.

D’Amelio’s four-year hiatus from music has allowed her to reconnect with the songs and stories she wants to tell. While she didn’t confirm any hard dates, she says she’s been writing and recording on and off throughout the extended break. “I’m still figuring out what I want to do, but I want anything I release into the world to be meaningful and positive. So, it’s going to take a little time to be more thoughtful, but it’s coming,” the singer shares. “Whatever I release, I want it to be the perfect representation of me in that moment of time.”

Always packed for wherever the day may take her, below, D’Amelio shares what’s in her bags as she gets ready to reenter the limelight.

In Her Everyday Bag

“I like to be prepared for everything,” D’Amelio says of her everyday bag. If you opened it up right now, you’d find a stick of deodorant, a notebook, a few loose Celsius On The Go Powder Sticks, lipstick, and a phone charger. Most important, she almost never forgets her lip balm. “I’m an Aquaphor girly, always, and I usually put the Celsius energy sticks in my water bottle.” If you’re curious, she’s still loyal to her Hydro Flask.

In Her Date-Night Purse

Often bringing a small bag out with her on a date, D’Amelio makes sure she always has a breath freshener for a romantic night out. She’s partial to Listerine strips, specifically, but doesn’t have a preference for flavor. “I actually don’t chew gum because I get migraines, and for some reason it gives me a headache.”

In Her Gym Bag

Much like her everyday bag, D’Amelio is bringing Celsius Powder Sticks with her to the gym. She usually has one on the way to her workout and one on the way back home. “I’m unfortunately a low-energy person,” she says. In addition to powdered caffeine, D’Amelio packs towels (“I’m very sweaty”) and an extra pair of shoes. “I bring extra everything. Whatever I have on my body, I also have a second in my bag.” As for freshening up after her workout, D’Amelio says she often reaches for the Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Peel Pads. “I really like those because it makes skin care really simple when you’re feeling lazy.”

In Her Beach Bag

As an L.A. resident, D’Amelio has easy access to the beach, and whenever she finds time to go, she brings a speaker, a towel, and a lunch box filled with food. “I always have snacks with me. I usually have something salty, like chips, and then Be Happy birthday cake popcorn for dessert. And sandwiches.” As for sunscreen, D’Amelio is still working on building out her skin care routine. “I need to get better at wearing sunscreen. I know it’s not good, but I’m almost 25, and I promised myself at 25 that I’d pay attention to all that stuff. I don’t go out in the sun too much.”

HBO

Euphoria never shies away from going to steamy extremes, and Season 3 is no exception. In the latest season of the hit show, which airs every Sunday on HBO, there’s a lot of sex happening — even if audiences aren’t seeing quite as much of it as they are used to.

Whether it’s an intimate moment at a strip club or a burgeoning OnlyFans career, there are plenty of NSFW moments this run. Mam Smith, an intimacy coordinator on the show, opened up about how the series approached filming sex scenes during an April interview on the “In the Envelope” podcast. Specifically, Smith shared how her position was welcomed on the show. The creator of Euphoria, Sam Levinson, was “super open to [her] as a person and to the position.”

“We immediately were able to find a workflow that supported his work, and it allowed the actors to feel safe, in a way, and and protected,” she explained. According to her, it was an easy “integration” since her role helped support his direction, while creating a “safer space.”

“Euphoria has always been a show that wanted the position and wanted to ... work with me and work with the concept of safety because these actors were pushed,” she added. “They were asked to be so vulnerable that creating a safe container was so important ... The whole production was interested in creating that space.”

The safe space definitely lent itself to some explicit on-screen moments. Here’s a full breakdown of Season 3’s sex scenes so far.

Faye & Wayne

HBO

In Episode 2 of Season 3, Faye (Chloe Cherry) has sex with Wayne (Toby Wallace), a dangerous drug dealer she’s fallen in with. The graphic scene stirred up some major controversy online, particularly because it featured a Nazi flag behind the duo.

Rue & Angel

HBO

Rue (Zendaya) and Angel (Priscilla Delgado), a dancer at the Silver Slipper strip club, hook up in Episode 2 — though audiences didn’t see much of their encounter. The two have sex in Rue’s van, but the cameras only captured the outside of the vehicle (plus some graphic grunts and moans).

Cassie & Brandon

HBO

Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) has an almost-hookup with Brandon (Jeff Wahlberg), an influencer, in Episode 4, as a ploy to promote her OnlyFans profile. The NSFW scene features Brandon snorting coke off of Cassie’s groin and telling her that he’s going to “f*ck [her] brains out.” They don’t end up having sex, but the scene was steamy nonetheless.

A Prequel Episode Drops A Hint]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/the-bear-season-5-kill-richie-death-prequel-episode-hinthttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/the-bear-season-5-kill-richie-death-prequel-episode-hintWed, 06 May 2026 18:13:32 GMT
FX

Leave it to The Bear to go out with a bang. Ahead of the culinary drama’s fifth and final season — which will stream June 25 on Hulu and Disney+ — a surprise prequel episode was released, which set up a shocking (and potentially lethal) twist for the big farewell. At first, it seemed like the May 5 standalone special “Gary” was simply one last glance into Mikey Berzatto’s final days, but the cliffhanger ending made it clear this does have serious implications for the upcoming season.

Spoiler alert: This post will discusses the ending of The Bear’s standalone episode “Gary.”

“Gary” takes place about four years before the main events of The Bear, focusing on a trip that Richie and Mikey took to Gary, Indiana to deliver a mysterious package for Uncle Jimmy. At the beginning of the road trip, Richie is intent on getting his cousin out of a funk, playing an upbeat mixtape for him and then urging Mikey to bond with locals at a bar.

However, in the Gary bar, Mikey’s demeanor changes after using cocaine and describing how his mother’s mental health struggles left a lasting impact on him. When Richie urges Mikey to leave so he can get home to his pregnant wife Tiffany, Mikey mocks his best friend by claiming he will fail as a father.

In the tense aftermath, Richie silently sobs in the car as Mikey’s distractions have caused him to be late in getting back to Tiffany, who may have given birth without him present (the episode leaves this unclear).

FX

The true shocker comes in the final moments of “Gary,” though, as the narrative fast-forwards to the present day. The final scenes seems to take place right after Season 4’s finale, where Carmy quits the restaurant and it over to Richie, Sydney, and Sugar.

Notably, Richie mentioned a memory he had of a great road trip he once took with Mikey during his Season 4 finale speech to Carmy, and in this new “Gary” scene, Richie reminisces on that trip while sitting in his car. Distracted by his memories, Richie doesn’t see another car ram into him. And with that car crash, the screen fades to black.

So, will Richie be in Season 5? The accident definitely means he’ll at least be severely injured, if he does manage to survive. And with Richie either incapacitated or dead, Sydney and Sugar will need a lot more help keeping The Bear running — plus, Carmy may feel guilted into coming back to the kitchen. As for right now, Richie’s fate is up in the air, but things don’t look great.

The Bear Season 5 will drop all of its episodes on Hulu, and on Disney+ via the Hulu bundle, on June 25 at 9 p.m. ET.

Kesha opened up about celibacy during a May 6 episode of Call Her Daddy. During the interview, the singer shared that she’s mostly celibate with one important exception: whenever she’s in Italy.

When Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper asked the “Praying” singer about “reclaiming [her] sexuality,” she said that it was a “miracle.” Kesha added, “I'm celibate except for when I'm in Italy.” As the conversation continued, Kesha clarified, “Well, I mean, like, mostly. Celibate was the goal. Progress, not perfection.”

According to the singer, she’s practicing celibacy because of her habit of “loving a red flag in a partner” — something she sings about in her song “Red Flag.” She explained, “This is why I've been mostly celibate, and I'm going to remain very single on purpose because we have worked on this trait of mine.”

Kesha also revealed how she experiences pleasure these days. “I actually masturbate to gratitude meditations,” she told Cooper. At Cooper’s disbelief, Kesha told her, “Don't knock it ‘til you try it.”

According to the singer, she starts every day with gratitude meditation. “Literally, when I got my freedom, I was like, I'm pissed about a lot of stuff, but one of the things is that pleasure... I keep coming back to pleasure. It is OK as a woman to feel pleasure in this world,” she said. “When you go through things, pleasure is not the number one neural pathway that your brain always goes to ... and I had to reprogram that, and I do it every f*cking day, and I'm not even embarrassed about it.”

Call Her Daddy

Apparently, this masturbation practice also plays into her decision to remain mostly celibate. “This is why I am celibate is because I'm calling in a f*cking king. It's time for my king,” she said. “My p*ssy is manifesting with gratitude that my king is coming because your body has to align with your reality before it shows up in your life.”

Cooper asked, “So are there kings in Italy?” Kesha confirmed, “There are some f*cking kings in Italy. Yeah, girl.”

FX

It’s closing time at The Bear, which isn’t too surprising considering all the chatter around the show’s upcoming fifth season. The culinary drama was picked up for Season 5 in July 2025, and once production wrapped in early 2026, some pretty telling clues surfaced suggesting that this may be the final season. So, prepare to say goodbye to the Berzatto clan this year, because FX has confirmed the rumors are true.

The first hint that The Bear would be ending was Season 4’s finale. In the climactic episode, Carmy made the controversial decision to quit his restaurant, handing ownership of The Bear over to Sydney, Richie, and Sugar. It’s implied that Carmy is done with cooking altogether after realizing how its affected his mental health. The decision caused some viewers to question how the show could continue without its main character in the kitchen, but FX was quick to pick up another season shortly after Season 4 aired.

After that, one cast member began heavily hinting that the next installment would be a farewell season.

Why Fans Knew Season 5 Was The Show’s Final Season Early On

FX

Production on Season 5 wrapped in February 2026, which Jamie Lee Curtis commemorated in several Instagram posts. Curtis, who plays Carmy’s troubled mother Donna, seemed to suggest this was her final time ever being on The Bear set in a string of emotional tributes — first to The Bear creator Chris Storer, and then to the whole cast and crew, writing that “I thank God every day for Donna.”

Her final Instagram post was the most telling. In it, she wrote: “FINISHED STRONG! Surrounded by an extraordinary crew and group of writers and producers and scene partners on the show that Chris Storer created, completing the story of this extraordinary family that we have all fallen in love with.”

The Last Course Will Be Served This June

The Bear has followed an incredibly consistent release schedule, with a new season dropping every June. True to form, FX confirmed the fifth and final season will debut on June 25.

Hayden Panettiere is getting more honest than ever before in her upcoming memoir. The actor reveals in the book that she’s been hiding her bisexuality for years, but is finally at a point where she’s ready to be open about her attraction to women. Even though she knew she wasn’t straight from a very young age, Panettiere said that she avoided coming out for years due to the pressures of child stardom as well as the fear of people accusing her of “jumping on the bandwagon” when bisexuality was written off as “a fad.”

“That’s something about me I was never able to share with the world, because it was just never the right time,” Panettiere told Us Weekly while promoting her memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning, out May 12. “It was either I was too young, and I was being forced to be perfect at all times. I was not encouraged to just be myself. Then came the period where it felt like people coming out, especially women, saying that they were bisexual or liked girls, was a fad. I was afraid that if I was honest, it was going to be like me jumping on the bandwagon. It was a very difficult topic to articulate properly.”

Although she has some remorse about waiting to come out publicly, Panettiere is excited that she’s finally found the strength to be her authentic self. “I’m comfortable to confidently say that yes, I am bisexual. I said it! This is the first time I got to say it out loud,” she said. “It’s sad I had to wait until I was 36 years old to share that part of me, but better late than never, right?”

Throughout her life in the public eye, Panettiere has been exclusively linked to men. However, she revealed that she has had romances with women before, but her insistence on keeping those relationships a secret proved incredibly stressful. “I have dated women. I was much more into women even as a child than I was men ... It was scary, though, because there were paparazzi always waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy,” Panettiere said. “I have explored it, but because I hadn’t shared this with anybody, I didn’t really have the courage to throw myself fully emotionally into it. Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn’t something that I wanted to ever have to hide.”

Looking back, Panettiere can now see why some of her early relationships didn’t work out, specifically her public romance with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia from 2007 to 2009. Though she says she “invested my whole self” in the relationship, she couldn’t bring herself to fully say “I love you” to him.

“I was unable to put the ‘I’ in front of ‘love you’ and at the time, I didn’t realize or understand why it made me feel so uncomfortable,” Panettiere reflected. “I could only say ‘love you’ in a casual way. Being older, he was much more aware of what that meant. And that said a lot.”

Panettiere’s current relationship status is unclear. She had been in an on-and-off relationship with real estate agent Brian Hickerson for the past several years. They’ve been spotted together as recently as this March, though TMZ reported they are just friends.

Maude Apatow opened up about the loss of Angus Cloud during a cover story interview about Euphoria’s third and likely final season. Cloud, who played Fezco on the HBO show, passed away in July 2023 at the age of 25. Nearly three years later, Apatow shared how she feels about the late actor.

"Angus was just the best person to be around," she told Who What Wear. "He was so funny and full of life — such an energy all the time." She added, "We lost that when we lost him."

Following his death, several of his co-stars — including Apatow — paid tributes to him on social media. She posted about Cloud’s passing on Instagram in August 2023. “Angus was the funniest person ever. I would get so excited to see on the schedule that we would be working together because I knew we’d have the best day, laughing so hard,” she wrote on Instagram. “He was the sweetest and made everyone around him so happy. He was just the best. Words can’t really capture how magical of a person he was. My heart is broken.”

“Angus, getting to know and work with you was one of the greatest joys and blessings of my life. I will love you forever. ❤️,” she wrote at the time.

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic, Inc/Getty Images

In the show’s universe, Cloud’s character is still alive — often speaking to other characters on the phone. “He would be cracking up at his storyline; I think he would love it,” Euphoria creator Sam Levinson told Variety on the April 7 red carpet. (In one scene, Zendaya’s character Rue actually quotes one of Cloud’s Instagram captions — “BLESS BLESS 1 LOVE” — while on the phone with Fezco.)

In an April 7 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Levinson explained the choice more. “I couldn’t keep him alive in real life but I could keep his character alive in the show,” he told the outlet. “I kept him alive and the character has got a great arc. I think he’d be very proud of it.”

“I loved Angus very deeply and I fought very hard to keep him clean while he was here. I think when he passed away, it made me sort of step back and go, ‘What is the story I want to tell, what is it I want to say? What matters in life?’” Levinson added. “And if I was going to do another season I wanted to make sure that it spoke to kind of a larger idea about meaning and purpose and who we are. It made me want to kind of tackle the idea of faith and belief in something greater than ourselves.”

On-screen, the chemistry between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov is undeniable — but Hudson Williams doesn’t want Heated Rivalry fans to think the romance extends to real life. After he and Connor Storrie had a buzzy reunion at the Met Gala, Williams took notice of some passionate fans reading into things a little too much, and he sent a message making his thoughts on “RPFing” very clear.

As is to be expected of any steamy romance (especially one built from the unapologetically smutty corners of AO3), many Heated Rivalry fans were shipping Williams and Storrie in real life soon after they were announced to portray star-crossed hockey phenoms Shane and Ilya. Even after Williams confirmed he’s been with girlfriend Katelyn Larson for years, a certain section of the fandom still imagined the co-stars were more than just friends. Williams has hit back at the intense Heated Rivalry fandom before, calling out “parasocial” comments in a March 9 statement: ““None of us need your hateful ‘love.’ We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side. If you can’t accept that gtfoh.”

Still, the narrative about Williams and Storrie sprung up once again after their appearance at the Met Gala on May 4. A Page Six report from an after-party that night claimed the co-stars were “inseperable,” describing how they walked through the party “hand-in-hand” and “even [sat] on each other’s laps.”

Threads/@hudsonwilliamsofficial

At the same time, one fan interpreted Williams posting the lyrics to Rihanna’s 2016 song “Woo” as some outlandish hint that he’s yearning to be with Storrie instead of his girlfriend. Upon seeing this, Williams made a rare comment about his relationships — both real and fictional.

“RPFing gotta stop yall,” Williams replied on Threads. The actor chose a term that would resonate with Heated Rivalry’s most invested fans — RPF is a fanfic term that stands for “Real People Fiction,” a controversial trend in which diehards will invent romantic fantasies shipping actual people rather than made-up characters. Clearly, Williams wants the strange investigations into his every interaction to stop.

At age 14, Blue Ivy Carter has already accomplished more than most artists spend their lifetime dreaming of. She’s one of the youngest Grammy winners ever, has performed for sold-out crowds across the globe, and now she’s secured her spot as a fashion icon with an unforgettable Met Gala debut. Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter stole the spotlight at the 2026 Met Gala on May 4 in a white Balenciaga gown, paired with a matching jacket and chic shades. However, her biggest statement wasn’t her look, but the fact that she was allowed to walk the museum’s famous staircase at all.

Blue Ivy’s attendance should have been barred by the gala’s stringent age restriction rule, which prevents anyone under 18 from participating in fashion’s biggest night. Blue Ivy just turned 14 at the beginning of 2026.

But, there is a loophole that let the young teenager make her stylish debut. The Met Gala’s 18+ age rule went into effect back in 2018 — at the time, representatives for the annual soiree told The Hollywood Reporter that an executive decision was made that “it’s not an appropriate event for people under 18.” However, the rep also stated that exceptions could be made for any minors who were accompanied by their parents.

It appears this is how Blue Ivy was allowed to attend, as she stuck close to her parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z throughout the carpet.

Fellow famous offspring, 17-year-old Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, also bent the event’s rules by making her debut in 2026 alongside her mom, Nicole Kidman.

The Met Gala age restriction is a lesser-known rule, which has been in place for nearly a decade. Maddie Ziegler first tipped people off about it in 2018, when the then-15-year-old said she was “not old enough” to go to the Met Gala. It has never been clarified why the rule was put into place at that specific time.

But, because Blue Ivy was willing to be chaperoned by her parents, she’s now one of the youngest-ever Met Gala attendees. She’s only beat out by Elle Fanning, who attended the 2011 Met Gala at just 13-years-old, before there was an age limit.

Hulu

Whitney Leavitt is officially moving on from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The reality star had been hinting at a departure for several months, mentioning in recent interviews that she feels it may be time for her to “venture out” from the scandalous Hulu series. After a (literal) headline-making announcement during her final Chicago performance on May 3, Leavitt cleared up exactly when she will disappear from Mormon Wives.

As anyone even tangentially aware of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives knows, everything has been incredibly up in the air recently. The show’s fifth season paused production in mid-March amid stars Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s ongoing legal battle. In late April, filming resumed without Paul and Mortensen — but what about Leavitt? The show’s sometimes-antagonist has teased her exit before, but it’s seemed much more likely after she made her Broadway debut in Chicago on the heels of a breakout Dancing with the Stars season.

In a May 5 Instagram video, Leavitt confirmed that she will appear in the currently-filming fifth season, but would not return to the show after that. “Just to be very clear, I am finishing Season 5. So yes, I will be in that season. But also yes, it will be my last,” Leavitt said, emphasizing that reality TV was never part of her plans to pursue an entertainment career. “I had been trying to get into theater, film way before Secret Lives even came into my life. The reality show just fell into my life organically, and I said yes to it. It's definitely not the path I had envisioned in my mind to get to where I am today, but I wouldn't change a thing.”

Though Leavitt said Mormon Wives “is a chapter closing in my life,” she reflected on how her castmates will always remain a part of her story. “I have experienced so much with this group of women,” Leavitt said. “We have been through so much together, even more than you’ve seen. We’ve had really big highs, really big lows, and no matter what happens with our relationships, that is something that will always be a part of our life, will always be a part of my life, and I wouldn’t change a thing.”

The Bachelorette was set to break major Bachelor Nation tradition with Season 22, and in some ways, it did. For the first time, the woman handing out roses was not going to be someone who was previously on The Bachelor. But she wasn’t entering the mansion without any reality TV experience. Quite the contrary — this season’s leading lady was set to be Taylor Frankie Paul, whose love life had been thoroughly explored on four seasons of Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. But in an unexpected twist, Paul won’t get to hand out her roses after all — at least, not yet.

In all previous 21 seasons of The Bachelorette, the star had been plucked from a prior season of The Bachelor. However, ABC changed things up this time around by broadening its pool to include its sister streaming service Hulu.

Paul’s casting came after the second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives confirmed that she had ended her relationship with Dakota Mortensen. Shortly after the season aired, Paul posted a TikTok jokingly auditioning for The Bachelorette. During her Sept. 10 appearance on Call Her Daddy, where she announced her new role, Paul admitted she isn’t sure if the tongue-in-cheek TikTok played a part in her casting.

“I don't know if that got their attention,” Paul said. “It was mainly a joke to me.”

However, the manifestation didn’t exactly pan out how Paul planned. Just three days before her season premiere, ABC decided to pull the whole season from air. The reason for the abrupt cancelation was newly reported assault charges between Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen, as well as a resurfaced 2023 video of one of their fights.

Hulu

With Season 22 now being Bachelor Nation’s first official missing season, here’s everything that led up to this unique situation.

The Cancelation Was Sudden

On March 19, a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson announced that Paul’s season was being shelved, even though it had already been filmed.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” the statement read, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Taylor Released A Statement

Following ABC’s decision, a spokesperson for Paul addressed the scrapped Bachelorette season in a statement obtained by People. "Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security,” the statement read. “After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm."

It continued: "There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story."

The Season May Air In The Future

Though Season 22 was held from its planned premiere date, it’s still likely that ABC could air Paul’s search for love down the line. The main reason to believe this will happen is financial, as the network reportedly stands to lose “tens of millions” of dollars by witholding the season, an insider told Page Six.

“ABC left a window in their statement to bring [the show] back. They haven’t canceled it — they simply paused it,” the source said in a March 24 report. “ABC has got to figure out how to get this show on the air, and if you’re [Paul], you’re trying to rehab yourself.”

“I really feel that America loves a comeback story,” another source added. “If Taylor has got the right desire to fix this situation. We’ve been reading about toxic relationships all our lives, and this seems to be a very toxic relationship she has to figure out and so does [Mortensen].”

A Reputable Source Said It’ll Air Very Soon

Everyone in Bachelor Nation is familiar with Reality Steve, the blogger who has accurately spoiled pretty much every season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. On May 4, Reality Steve shared an Instagram video stating that ABC is planning to release Paul’s Bachelorette season this summer.

“According to my sources, it is going to air,” Reality Steve said. “And not only that, it’s not getting dumped on a streamer. It’s gonna air on ABC this summer.”

Before Getting Axed, The Trailer & Poster Teased A New Kind Of Bachelorette

ABC

ABC shared the trailer for Paul’s season on Feb. 9. In it, they leaned into her polarizing past on Mormon Wives, including messy clips from the show (like Paul processing Mortensen’s infidelity) and several headlines about her viral swinging scandal.

As Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made You Do” played, Paul questioned what her journey would look like: “Am I worthy of love? Is it even possible? As a single mom I want to better myself… Maybe all I need to do is be my own true self and have a little faith.” Then, Paul kicked her way off a phone screen, ditching her red gown for her go-to uniform: a crop top, sweats, and crocs.

The season’s poster reiterated the same theme, featuring Paul stepping out of a Barbie-style box with an inspirational quote overhead: “If you don’t fit the mold, break it”

Kylie Jenner was missing her most important accessory when she showed up at the 2026 Met Gala on May 4. The beauty mogul strutted into fashion’s biggest night in a skin-tight, nipple-baring Schiaparelli dress, adding to the structural look’s overall drama by bleaching her eyebrows. Jenner’s brows weren’t the only thing M.I.A. — her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet was notably not by her side at the gala, despite the couple’s recent string of PDA-filled public appearances.

Chalamet’s absence was a bit of a surprise, since he and Jenner had made such a huge splash during awards season. But fans will have to just keep waiting for this duo to make their Met Gala debut. Ever since Chalamet and Jenner were first linked in early 2023, the actor has consistently opted to steer clear of the Met Gala (maybe he’s just wary of the stylish event’s relationship “curse?”). Chalamet has only showed up once, back in 2021 when he served as a co-chair.

Hardcore fans of Chalamet had already suspected he wasn’t going to hit the Met Gala this year, given that his beloved New York Knicks were playing the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA playoffs at the same time. Sure enough, as celebs flooded the Met Gala stairs, Chalamet posted a photo of himself sitting court-side at Madison Square Garden.

Instagram/@tchalamet

And official photos from the May 4 game confirmed he was cheering on his favorite team several blocks away from his girlfriend’s big fashion moment.

This isn’t the first time Chalamet has chosen basketball over Balmain. He also skipped the 2025 Met Gala in favor of a Knicks playoff game at the same time, defending the choice on Carmelo Anthony’s podcast by saying he was too “locked in” to possibly miss the athletic event.

“That Knicks run last year, I think that was the most fun period of my life,” Chalamet said. “Those four months, I’m not even kidding. Just the Garden being electric.”

So, for the third year since Chalamet and Jenner have been an item during Met Gala season, Jenner stuck to family and friends for company at the fashionable night. Hopefully the Knicks schedule will allow Chalamet to finally get glam with his GF next year.

]]><![CDATA[I Tried 6 Viral Hydration Products For 1 Week & Here's What Worked]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/wellness/viral-hydration-product-reviewshttps://www.elitedaily.com/wellness/viral-hydration-product-reviewsTue, 05 May 2026 12:01:25 GMT

Drinking water feels like one of those things that should be effortless, but for some reason it’s not. I know I should be doing it; it’s just easy to forget and put off. So it makes sense that hydration has turned into its own category of products: electrolyte packets, flavored mixes, powders that promise energy, etc.

Personally, I’ve never been naturally good at drinking water, and I think a lot of it comes down to one very specific habit: I only really like drinking with food. The second problem is I also don’t eat that often. Most days, I’ll have one proper meal — maybe a late lunch or dinner — and that’s when I’ll drink the most water. But that also means I’m going long stretches of the day without really hydrating at all, and by the time I realize it, I’m already trying to make up for it all at once.

I’ve tried the usual fixes — keeping a cute water bottle next to me, setting mental reminders, buying chic decanters — and none of it has really stuck. It always ends up being something I’m aware of, but not actually following through on.

So instead of trying to rely on willpower again, I wanted to see if I could make it easier on myself. For one week, I committed to actually staying hydrated — not in a hyper-disciplined way, but in a way that felt realistic. I kept my routine the same, but added in a mix of hydration products to see if they’d actually help me drink more throughout the day, including:

A Smart Water Bottle That Tracks Your Intake

I didn’t think a water bottle would make that much of a difference, but this is the one thing that actually made me more aware of how little I was drinking throughout the day. The LARQ Bottle PureVis 2 connects to an app that tracks your intake automatically, so you don’t have to log anything manually. It basically turns hydration into something you can see, which for me made it way harder to ignore.

What makes it feel a little more worth it than a regular bottle is everything else it does. It uses UV-C light to help keep the bottle clean and reduce bacteria, and there’s a built-in filtration system that improves taste by filtering things like chlorine and other contaminants. It’s also insulated (so your water actually stays cold all day), and the battery lasts a couple of weeks at a time, which makes it low-maintenance.

The biggest difference for me was the tracking. Seeing how little I had actually drunk by mid-day made me more intentional about finishing the bottle. Once I started doing that, it was way easier to stay consistent without overthinking it.

A Smart Bottle Alternative

ULLA’s Drink Water Reminder is a tiny device that attaches to any bottle you already have and lights up at intervals to remind you to drink. There’s no app or syncing, just a quick visual nudge.

Most of the time, my issue is that I forget about water completely. I’ll get distracted, go hours without drinking anything, and then try to make up for it later. This interrupts that pattern without making it feel like a whole system I have to manage. If you like the idea of a smart bottle, but don’t actually want another device to charge or keep track of, this does the same job in a simpler (and less expensive) way.

The Game Changer

Liquid I.V.’s Hydration Multiplier was the first thing that noticeably changed my behavior. It uses a mix of electrolytes (like sodium and potassium) plus glucose, which helps your body absorb water more efficiently.

The bigger impact for me was taste. It made my water feel like something I wanted to drink, not something I had to remember. I’d mix one packet into a bottle in the morning, and without really thinking about it, I’d finish the whole thing. It’s slightly sweet, a little salty, and definitely more noticeable than plain water, which was a good thing for me.

An Electrolyte Drink Mix For ~Off~ Days

LMNT is way less subtle. It’s high in sodium (much more than typical electrolyte drinks), with potassium and magnesium added in, and you can taste it immediately. It’s more intense and not something I’d sip casually all day.

But on days when I felt slightly dehydrated or off (especially after coffee or walking a lot), this made a difference quickly. It felt more functional than enjoyable, but that’s kind of the point. I didn’t use it daily, but when I needed it, it worked.

The Easiest Habit To Keep

If I’m being honest, Propel Powder Packets are the most realistic option. They’re inexpensive, easy to throw in a bag, and lightly flavored without being overwhelming.

It doesn’t feel like a “wellness product,” which is probably why I used it the most. It just made water slightly better, which was enough to keep me consistent.

A Surprisingly Helpful Option

I didn’t expect this to make much of a difference, but having flavored water already ready to go made me drink more without thinking about it. Hint is super subtle — no sugar, no sweeteners, just a light fruit flavor.

It’s not exciting, but it removes the friction of having to mix something yourself, which matters more than you think.

What Actually Made The Biggest Difference

By the end of the week, it wasn’t about finding the “best” hydration product, it was about removing friction. Here’s what helped the most:

  • Having something that made water taste better (so I’d reach for it without thinking).
  • Keeping options visible and easy to grab.
  • A constant reminder to keep drinking.
  • Not relying on willpower alone.

I didn’t suddenly become someone who drinks water perfectly every day, but I was noticeably more consistent and I didn’t have to think about it as much.

TL;DR

Drinking more water isn’t hard in theory, but actually doing it consistently is a different story. For me, the shift wasn’t about suddenly becoming more disciplined or setting stricter goals. It was about making hydration feel easier and a little more automatic throughout the day.

What ended up helping most wasn’t one specific product, but having options that fit different moments — something more functional when I felt off, something lightly flavored when plain water felt boring, and something effortless when I didn’t want to think about it at all. That flexibility made it easier to stay consistent without forcing it.

I didn’t leave the week as someone who drinks water perfectly every day, but I did stop forgetting about it entirely — and that alone made a noticeable difference. If you struggle with hydration the way I do, it’s less about finding the “best” solution and more about finding something that makes you actually want to keep going.

]]><![CDATA[Stella Lefty On “Boston,” Playing At Lollapalooza, & Her Musical Icons]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/stella-lefty-boston-lollapalooza-musical-influences-interviewhttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/stella-lefty-boston-lollapalooza-musical-influences-interviewTue, 05 May 2026 12:00:25 GMT

Stella Lefty believes songs have power. Case in point: The 23-year-old is now dating the guy her breakout single is about.

“The whole thing started because I agreed to go on a writing trip in Nashville, where a boy I had a crush on lived,” Lefty tells Elite Daily. “I had 15 minutes before he was picking me up, so I was sitting at the piano and wrote the chorus. I posted it on my TikTok account, not thinking anything of it.” Her first snippets of the song garnered millions of views, with commenters begging her to finish and release it.

That same energy — a girl, a piano, a song she believes in — is taking her to her biggest stage yet. On Aug. 2, Lefty will make her Lollapalooza debut, and it'll double as a homecoming: She grew up just outside Chicago, in Glencoe. “I've been going to Lolla since I was 15 years old,” she says. “Playing there was something I always dreamed about and never thought would happen.”

The Lolla slot caps a wild few months. “Boston,” which Lefty released March 27 and which interpolates Noah Kahan's “Stick Season,” became her first Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at No. 51. She's opening for Tucker Wetmore and Myles Smith on tour this summer. And — yes — she got the guy.

Music wasn't always the plan for the public health major from Tulane University. “I didn’t know anybody that was an artist,” she says. Despite having written songs since she was 5, she didn’t take a chance on her music until her junior year of college. “I started posting when I was abroad [in Amsterdam], and I was posting all the time because I was depressed. That was my form of getting out of my head,” she says. Shortly after graduating, Lefty started writing songs for other people before moving to Los Angeles in September 2024.

Miley and Taylor were the first people that made me fall in love with music and writing.

In the 18 months since, she’s racked up several viral hits on TikTok, including “Thinking ‘bout You,” which she co-wrote with fellow musicians Grace Enger and Sadie Jean. She also has “something more exciting than an EP” in the works.

Below, Lefty shares the four artists who shaped her sound.

Miley Cyrus

Growing up, Lefty says she listened to all of Miley Cyrus’ songs but was particularly obsessed with Hannah Montana. “She’s everything to me,” Lefty says. “I really thought, when I was younger, that I was Hannah Montana. I thought I was living this double life.”

The 2009 Hannah Montana film made a lasting impression. Lefty still references the movie’s iconic visuals in her work to this day. After watching the 20th anniversary special, Lefty rewatched the OG on a flight back from Austin and went home and made her family watch it with her again. “I was like, ‘This is making me feel things.’ I was crying the whole day, just on the flight bawling my eyes out.”

Taylor Swift

“Taylor Swift taught me how to write a song,” Lefty says. As a kid, she studied Swift’s early albums to figure out what made them so captivating. One of her first songwriting memories was scribbling new lyrics over melodies like “Back to December.”

“Miley and Taylor were the first people that made me fall in love with music and writing,” she says.

Lefty won’t commit to a single favorite Swift song, but she’ll cop to a top three: "Fifteen," "Betty," and "Picture to Burn."

“I had a best friend growing up who has red hair, and on the way to school freshman year, we’d blast that song with my dad in the car when he was dropping us off.”

Carrie Underwood

Lefty blasts Carrie Underwood’s “All-American Girl" with her windows down, screaming the lyrics as she heads to a recording session. “Her voice is insane. She’s someone that I look up to so much vocally,” she says. Beyond her sheer talent, the American Idol winner is a reference for how Lefty hopes her own career succeeds. “Her music is so fun to listen to. It’s so digestible. I love putting it on. I love singing the words, and I want people to feel that way about my songs.”

Keith Whitley

A newer obsession for Lefty is ’80s country music star Keith Whitley. “Since college, Randy Travis and Keith Whitley have been on my rinse and repeat,” she says. Lefty says the songwriting on tracks like “When You Say Nothing At All” and “Don’t Close Your Eyes” is some of the best she’s ever heard. “Whenever I’m sad or in a weird spot, I’m always putting on a Keith Whitley song. Always.”

Nic Vansteenberghe is (understandably) not happy about people questioning his relationship with Olandria Carthen. On May 4, Vulture published a piece, highlighting 2026’s biggest reality TV stars — including Love Island USA’s Vansteenberghe. For the feature, he flew to New York and posed alongside the other honorees. But when the story came out, he was not happy about the outlet’s portrayal of him and his romantic life.

The Vulture piece explained how Vansteenberghe evolved from being the Season 7’s meme-maker to one half of its favorite couples. “The real key to Vansteenberghe’s success was his ability to pivot,” the piece read. “He could tell which way the island wind was blowing and consequently adapt from ladies’ man to yearning, twerking boy next door as early couple turnover called for it.”

“By the middle of the season, the fandom had coalesced around pairing him with co-star Olandria Carthen. Never mind that they didn’t seem to be more than friendly colleagues at first; Vansteenberghe leaned into the role of ‘person in love with Olandria’ with comfort and poise,’” the story continued. “Though they were not technically the season’s winners, Nicolandria, who are still together, were the runaway victors in all the ways that actually count: fan fondness and sponsorship deals. Vansteenberghe is now pursuing that most tried-and-true reality side hustle, DJ for hire.”

Vansteenberge did not appreciate the insinuation that he was playing a “role” by pursuing a romance with Carthen. “Dear Vulture magazine I fly all the way to New York where you ask me to be photographed half naked and you smile and shake my hand and then write some 💩 like that???” he posted on Threads. “I’m sure I’ll be told to not speak up about this.”

Since leaving the villa in July 2025, the couple has faced plenty of questions about their relationship. During an exclusive with Elite Daily, Carthen and Vansteenberghe addressed speculation that their relationship was manufactured.

“But to the people who are saying it's fake, at this point...” Vansteenberghe said before Carthen took over. “I don't know why you would think we would purposely get our families involved. We would not take it this far if it was fake. My mom really does like Nic, and Nic's mom really does like me,” she said. “Why would we get their hopes up for something that we know is not real? That's weird. It is real. You can't fake that.”

Vansteenberghe added, “At this point, I don't really give a sh*t anymore. I'm just focused on her and I. That's that.”

Vinnie Hacker’s jump from TikTok to the TV screen had a pretty unexpected twist. After he confirmed his casting in Season 3 of Euphoria at the start of 2026, fans speculated how he might be involved in the show’s long-awaited return, which also added fellow influencer Trisha Paytas. Turns out, his role did delve into the social media influencer sphere, although it was not as major as viewers may have expected. After his quick appearance on Euphoria, Hacker laughed off the chatter about his reduced cameo by joking that the show removed “so many nudes” from his final cut.

Hacker’s moment came in the fourth episode of Euphoria Season 3, when Maddy brought Cassie to an influencer-filled house party to promote her OnlyFans. During the debaucherous festivities, Hacker made a very short appearance as Ricky D, who had been announced as the winner of the “content creator of the month” award. Hacker’s face was barely even shown in the episode, but he was still recognizable due to his large angel back tattoo.

The incredibly tiny cameo prompted fans to make unserious fan edits of the scene. “GIRL, HE WAS BARELY HERE,” one edit read. “Ate up his 2 seconds,” another read. Hacker himself got in on the fun, posting a tongue-in-cheek video from his bed the next day complaining about “all of [the] nude scenes” Euphoria deleted from his appearance.

“I had so many nude scenes and they cut them all out. All of them,” Hacker grumbled in the TikTok clip. “Full frontal, d*ck out, balls out, everything. All of my nude scenes, they’re all gone. They just cut them all out. Oh my God, I had so many.”

Hacker is one of the several buzzy new guest stars appearing in Euphoria Season 3. Some recent standouts include Priscilla Delgado, who stole the spotlight as the concerning stripper Angel, and Anna Van Patten (sister of Tell Me Lies star Grace Van Patten), who took Angel’s place as the new dancer Kitty.

The third season also features Rosalía, Sharon Stone, Marshawn Lynch, and Natasha Lyonne.

Bath & Body Works

The Force has awakened at Bath & Body Works. In celebration of the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu film starring Pedro Pascal, B&BW has an all-new Star Wars collection that’s out of this world.

The Mando-themed drop features three fragrances inspired by characters and places from the popular Disney+ series like Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) and Pascal’s Din Djarin that will be available in everything from three-wick candles to foaming hand soap. There are also collectible accessories in the lineup that are too cute not to add to your shopping cart, especially if you’re as enamored by Grogu as Pascal.

The full Mandalorian & Grogu collection will be available in stories and online starting May 11, but Bath & Body Works loyalty members can shop select items on Star Wars Day (aka May 4). The online exclusives include:

These items are expected to sell out with limited quantities, so you’ll want to act fast as a member. You could also wait for the full collection on May 11 with the Force Flow and Bounty Hunter scents. I was able to preview these two Mandalorian-inspired fragrances, and below, you’ll find my honest review.

The Force Flow Is Strong

Bath & Body Works

The Force Flow scent is for the Baby Yoda lovers. It has notes of green apple, salted lavender, and cosmic sage, which blend together to create a very clean, orchard scent. The green apple may be very on the nose for the equally as green Grogu, but the lavender and sage help to elevate this fragrance to a much more other worldly vibe. It’s so light and bright that this is a great scent for the spring when The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters on May 22.

Since I know Grogu has a sweet tooth with all the blue macarons he’s eating, he’d enjoy the fruity Force Flow just like I did. However, the Force is really strong with this scent, so if you’re not into overpowering fragrances, you might want to use sparingly.

Rating: 4.7/5

The Bounty Hunter Is Nostalgic

Bath & Body Works

Both of the Mandalorian scents have a musky, gender neutral feel to them, so anyone can enjoy them. The Bounty Hunter is as strong as the Force Flow, but has a more earthy tone with notes of Beskar sea salt, solar woods, and protective patchouli. My first impression was that this smelled a lot like the seasonal Christmas tree scents I love from Bath & Body Works around the holidays.

Those woodsy scents are actually my favorite to stock up on, so my apartment can smell fresh like the outdoors throughout the year. It’s nice that now I can replenish my collection in the spring with the Bounty Hunter. It also doesn’t hurt that this is inspired by Pascal’s character, so I imagine this is what Mando smells like when he’s in his uniform. If you love a more earthy fragrance to wear or fill your home with as well — or you just want to smell like Pascal — I highly recommend the Bounty Hunter.

Rating: 4.8/5

You’ve probably heard Matt Friend’s voice without even knowing it. The 27-year-old comedian has garnered a reputation as TikTok’s premier celebrity impressionist, wowing A-listers with his spot-on impersonations of Jeff Goldblum, Stanley Tucci, Barack Obama, and Austin Butler, to name only a few. Throughout our FaceTime chat, he can’t help but slip into some of his best-known voices, even correctly identifying my own Midwest accent at one point. But Friend’s comedy extends far beyond his voice work, and the special he’s filming this year is about to make that clear.

“It’s new impressions, but it’s also new me,” Friend says of the upcoming release. “People have gotten to know me for one big thing, but this show will provide a whole new context. That’s what I’m most excited about. Of course, there are impressions, but there are a lot of other layers, observations on my generation in the political landscape, technology, dating in my 20s.”

The special, which Friend believes will debut in late 2026 or early 2027, is a culmination of his life’s work. Growing up in Chicago, Illinois, he recalls doing impressions ever since he learned to talk. “I was 4 years old and loved Austin Powers. I was doing Goldmember, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, all of the Mike Myers characters,” Friend says. “I became what my sister called a glorified parrot; I would mimic my teachers and my grandfather. I loved doing Family Guy voices, and also I devoured old talk shows, so I’d do Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, David Letterman.”

Friend also became a voracious reader, especially when it came to his favorite topic: Old Hollywood. He recalls reading Frank Sinatra biographies in high school, a practice that helped inform the research needed to nail an impression. “You need to have substance behind what you’re saying; that makes it so much funnier. So I read a lot, I watch a lot of shows and movies, I’m very up-to-date on the news,” Friend says. “But this is also just who I am. I walk down the street as King Charles. I do a Rami Malek face when I look in the mirror. I’ll be sitting on the toilet and talk like Trump. I’m always doing voices.”

He started taking comedy seriously as a career option while in college at NYU. “I was going to comedy clubs multiple times a week performing alongside real headlining comedians, like Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno,” Friend says. “I was always infusing impressions early on because it was my way to really distinguish myself.”

But it wasn’t the stage where he first broke big — it was online. His impersonation videos began to blow up on social media in 2023, and he was quickly signed to a major talent agency. Friend now has nearly 4 million followers across his TikTok and Instagram accounts.

I want audiences to see my point of view without abandoning the impressions, because I love doing them.

The social success led to buzzy moments at the 2024 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, guest-starring on Family Guy, and hosting the Oscars red carpet. Most recently, Friend hosted SnapChat’s inaugural Snappys Awards, and released a short special on CNN. Now he’s ready for the next chapter.

Friend points to his upcoming film Grace Period as an example of where he’s headed. The rom-com, which also stars Ashley Greene and Seth Green, sees Friend “playing an actual character” rather than his usual celebrity impersonations. “So, that’s the next phase of my career,” Friend says. “I’m interested in doing more of that kind of work.”

He looks to Bill Hader and Jim Carrey as inspirations for parlaying impressions into wider comedic work. “You’ve got to find a way to distinguish yourself. I’d love to develop my own show; I want audiences to see my point of view without abandoning the impressions, because I love doing them and they’ll always be a part of my work,” Friend says. “At this stage, I’m actively trying to identify the right opportunities to showcase these other areas of my skill set.”

“I know that there’s more that I can do.”

Despite most fans knowing him for his celebrity impersonations, Friend doesn’t feel “pigeonholed” by people who see him only as an impressions guy. “Of course, there are some social media comments that can bother you if you really let them get to you, but I have confidence in my ability,” Friend says. “I know that there’s more that I can do.”

As he charts his future, Friend has an ambitious vision for what’s next. “My dream has always been to host the Oscars, like my generation’s version of Kimmel or Colbert,” Friend says. “Or to have a talk show, but also to develop my own vehicle in the acting space, like Dave or Atlanta. I’m working on all those things.”

Listening and reacting isn’t just an important tool for actors in a scene, but comedy balladist Jake Schroeder says it’s the best career advice he’s gotten, too. During a recent coffee meetup, the 23-year-old content creator says Get Out composer Michael Abels told him: “Lead with your listening, because when you’re writing music, you’re hearing things that other people can’t. When you listen to people in conversation, you’re able to learn and react in a way that isn’t just steamrolling or cramming a joke down everyone’s throat.”

As we chat over Zoom, I point out that it’s also one of the first lessons you’re taught in an improv class. Schroeder lights up and asks, “Are you an improv girly?”

From a young age, the Los Angeles native loved to make people laugh. Before committing to comedy, the self-described “sweetums” tried a bit of everything. “I did all the sports and activities as a kid,” he says. “My sister used to dress me up in her clothes, and we’d do drag.”

It was through improv classes he took at the University of Chicago that Schroeder first discovered his comedic talent. “You’re either funny or you’re not,” he says, “and I got to play different characters, like a grandmother or a French dude, and I realized I have this sort of natural empathy that people find amusing.”

He discovered his sense of humor through Saturday Night Live cast members like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ana Gasteyer. “Those women make me laugh so hard.” Schroeder also fell in love with musical comedians like Bo Burnham and Broadway shows like Book of Mormon and Avenue Q. “I would listen and consume a lot of that,” but it wasn’t until college in 2020 that Schroeder started songwriting for himself.

I hadn’t started therapy, so I wrote this song called ‘San Diego.’

“I was going through my first heartbreak ever, and I had no outlet,” he says. “I hadn’t started therapy, so I wrote this song called ‘San Diego,’ and it wasn’t a comedy song. Now, when I listen to it, it’s the most hilarious thing I’ve ever written.”

After college, Schroeder moved from Chicago to Brooklyn. And a little over a year ago, after working as a software engineer at Grindr (“I got fired for being so bad at the job”), he started sharing his comedy ballads online. At the time, his songs covered a range of topics from holidays to names like Emma. His song for the name Addison was even reposted by Addison Rae.

Nowadays, Schroeder says his humor is more nihilistic. “Last year, I was doing a lot more observational comedy in my apartment, but now, I’m reading so much of the news.” The TikTok he gets most recognized for is a parody ballad about the rumored thieves of the Louvre break-in from October 2025. “That song hit the hardest,” he says. The inspiration came from a post Schroeder saw online, claiming two attractive guys had robbed the museum in France. “I immediately freaked out and was like ‘They’re so hot; I have to write this song.’” It turns out the OG post was incorrect. “I Googled them later and realized I was spreading fake news the entire time, but that’s OK. The photos are nice,” he says.

Schroeder’s Louvre post has almost 26 million views online, and a comment from Megan Trainor saying “Best one yet.” Now that he’s gained a fan base of nearly 775,000 followers across platforms, Schroeder has collabed with celebs like Frankie Grande, Riz Ahmed, and Melissa Barrera on comical songs on things like being a Cancer or lesbian. His biggest “pinch me” moment, though, was getting to meet Carrie Coon backstage at her Broadway show Bug. “I made this song about Carrie when I was watching The White Lotus last May, because naturally, she stole the show,” he says. “Someone told me that she had seen it, which was awesome.”

It’s very meaningful that an Internet post can actually have you meet a hero and connect with them.

When Coon’s shows started, Schroeder was invited to attend one and meet the Emmy-nominated actor backstage, where she said, “I know exactly who you are. I love your song.” “It’s very meaningful that an Internet post can actually have you meet a hero and connect with them,” says Schroeder. “That was such a thrill, and a highlight of my career.”

Through his success, Schroeder has befriended other creators and actors, including Lisa Kudrow. “I did a song for The Comeback, she liked it, followed me, and then we started DMing each other,” he says. “I feel very lucky, like how the hell am I sending a DM to Lisa Kudrow on my phone?”

If Schroeder had to choose a celeb to work with next, he’s quick to say Adele. “Sitting in the same room with Adele, coming up with something funny to sing would be the biggest gag in the world to me,” he says.

Until then, he’s interested in getting into a recording studio to put more of his tracks on streaming platforms and focusing on his next dream: a comedy tour. Weeks after our chat in March, Schroeder announced a two-date tour that started at the end of April, but he’s hoping to do something bigger soon. “I kind of just started performing live in the past couple of months, and I want to continue doing that,” he says. “It’s a little lonely to make TikToks in my room and sing songs. But when you get a whole room of people together singing, ‘SohCahToa, she’s that girl,’ that’s f*cking magic.”

Julian Shapiro-Barnum found his big break in an unexpected place: his senior thesis. The 26-year-old comedian from Brooklyn, New York, became a YouTube sensation in 2021 when he launched his kid-focused interview series, Recess Therapy, after bending the rules for his final project at Boston University. “You’re supposed to do a 45-minute video with these strict guidelines, but I didn't really want to play by the rules. I was bored,” Shapiro-Barnum says. “So I tweaked everything and did a series of interviews with kids, which was not the assignment.”

In between sips of iced coffee during our Zoom call, the comedian recalls how he suddenly became an online brand “with no intention” of putting his college work out into the world. But after posting clips from his thesis for some friends to see, he was approached by Doing Things Media to turn the idea into a web show. Since then, Shapiro-Barnum has made a name for himself as YouTube’s “kid guy,” expanding his uplifting interactions with children (about everything from deep existential quandaries to why corn is a perfect snack) into 2024’s Celebrity Substitute, a follow-up web series with an even larger scope.

These shows made Shapiro-Barnum a viral success, with nearly 3 million followers on Recess Therapy’s TikTok. But now, he’s leaning into a side of his comedy he hasn’t had the chance to showcase on his upcoming late-night show Outside Tonight. He describes the project, which is being heralded as the Internet’s first late-night talk show, as a more “irreverent” series, naming Conan O’Brien as an inspiration.

The first time we filmed Celebrity Substitute, I realized that everything I learned from Recess Therapy was not applicable.

“No kids on this one. It’s too late; they’ll be asleep,” Shapiro-Barnum says. He sees this notable pivot as a chance to finally broach some less PG topics that he hasn’t been able to tackle before. “I love what I do with kids, and I will continue to do that work, but I’ve been looking for a place to flex more of my comedy background,” he says. “There have been so many ideas that I haven't been able to implement because my shows have only been with kids. I’m really excited to dig into this big backlog of things I’ve wanted to do for so long.”

Shapiro-Barnum’s work with children has been an extension of his own experiences growing up. He was raised by five queer parents, which helped him feel like he was one of the grown-ups from an early age. “Something that was so cool about having so many parents is I got to test my jokes out and be funny amongst a lot of different types of adults,” Shapiro-Barnum says. “I remember really early, sitting at a table with a bunch of adults and feeling part of the conversation.”

He’s always been obsessed with The Muppets, and he fell in love with improv in the fourth grade. So, meeting children on their level and never talking down to them came very naturally. Still, he faced frequent rejections in the early days of Recess Therapy. “It was so hard for the first two-plus years. We would just walk up to every single family in a park and be like, ‘Hi, we’re working on a project where we interview kids.’ We heard ‘no’ a lot more than ‘yes,’” Shapiro-Barnum says. “It was too much work. No matter how big the show got, we were still walking around every single week. It became unsustainable, so now we have a place that we go, and we have a huge network of families and schools that we work with.”

YouTube

His next venture, Celebrity Substitute, had more funding thanks to big-name backing from Broadway composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. (Shapiro-Barnum and Pasek connected over sharing the same high school drama teacher.) However, the new web series also presented Shapiro-Barnum with a whole new set of challenges. Not only does he have to handle a whole classroom of kids instead of just talking to a few one-on-one, but he also has an A-list singer, actor, or supermodel to guide through the teaching process.

“The first time we filmed Celebrity Substitute, I realized that everything I learned from Recess Therapy was not applicable. This is just a completely different show,” Shapiro-Barnum says. “Recess Therapy is conversation-oriented, and Celebrity Substitute is action-oriented. We want the kids to feel comfortable getting creative and building something they’re interested in.”

Shapiro-Barnum cites Kehlani’s episode as a favorite (“She brought 110% of herself and the kids got really into it”), but he also recalls guests like Reneé Rapp and Cynthia Erivo going the extra mile behind the scenes. “Reneé Rapp gave all the kids her phone number, which was a bad idea on her part, but it was very sweet, because she loved them so much,” he says. “And Cynthia Erivo took the time to meet with a little girl who had done a project on why she was her hero. The girl wasn’t in the class we worked with, but Cynthia sat and talked with her after filming finished. It was very meaningful.”

Now, as Shapiro-Barnum preps for Outside Tonight, he’s ready to flex a new muscle. Just weeks after the debut in June, Shapiro-Barnum will also be releasing his debut book, How to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up, on Aug. 4. It’s clear he’s expanding beyond the playground this year, but one thing will never change: he’ll always have a seat at the kids' table.

Brooke Averick has always been a fangirl. As a kid, before her obsessions included celebrities and Heated Rivalry, she fixated on bouncy balls, sponges, and The Count from Sesame Street. As Averick got older, she moved on from Muppet vampires to book vampires, with Edward Cullen in Twilight.

As we sit outside Dialog Cafe in West Hollywood, drinking our berry smoothies, I joke that she must have a thing for the undead. “No one's ever made that connection, including myself,” she says. “I guess The Count planted the seed for Edward.” Of course, if you follow the 29-year-old on social media, you’ll know from her username, @ladyefron, that she’s also a fan of the High School Musical star Zac Efron. “That was my email address,” she says. In 2020, Averick blew up on TikTok thanks to comedy videos reading from her childhood diaries, and the name Lady Efron stuck.

After gaining a following, Averick started sharing more of her humor on TikTok through sketch videos. At the time, she was working as a preschool teacher in Pennsylvania. “I don't even want to say being in the spotlight was a dream, because I was so convinced it was not an option for me,” she says. “I would daydream about being an author or doing comedy in some way, but I just did not consider it a possibility because I was so anxious.” But those early viral sketch videos were validating. “It felt really good.”

A year later, she posted her most viral video — an all-too-real reenactment of what it was like being a kid in a swimming pool, playing with your bathing suit, and getting frustrated with your goggles. She can be self-deprecating at times, sharing her cringe moments with her 1 million TikTok followers or saying something “a little bit stupid” on her podcast, Brooke and Connor Make A Podcast, with comedian Connor Wood.

My humor is very dry and sarcastic. And I'm definitely not afraid of sounding dumb.

The two met in 2020 when she moved to Los Angeles, and they both joined Common Room LA, a content house. In 2022, they launched their weekly podcast, where they chat about their lives and pop culture while showcasing what makes them truly hilarious. “My humor is very dry and sarcastic. And I'm definitely not afraid of sounding dumb,” she says. “It's just saying unfiltered thoughts out loud.” Those inner thoughts have helped grow Averick’s fan base and led her to start a solo podcast, Obsessed, about her current film, TV, book, and celebrity fixations. Then, after years of hosting, Averick took her humor on the road in 2025, as well as earlier this year, alongside Wood, with a live show titled Brooke and Connor Make A Podcast.

Now, she’s ready for her next chapter — a debut novel, Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose It. The romantic comedy, which is the first of her multi-book deal, is set to release on May 26, and follows lovelorn Phoebe Berman with intimacy anxiety, who makes it her mission to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday.

We're just very comfortable and not afraid to twist the knife to really get under each other's skin in a very brother-sister way.

“There's a bit of Bridget Jones to her. She's definitely one of those people who finds themselves in situations that are very cringe-worthy,” she says. Averick believes 2000s rom-com lovers will also feel nostalgic diving into Phoebe Berman. “It has the essence of 13 Going on 30, and there's an energy of that era.”

Phoebe may not be on shelves just yet, but it’s already getting rave reviews on TikTok. One fan was “consumed” by Averick’s writing, saying Phoebe Berman felt like a “warm hug” while reading it. And her inner circle adores it, too. “They're my friends, so they have to say that,” she says. “But it has been very heartwarming to watch them read it, because so much of them is in the book.”

Being taken seriously in author spaces has been my biggest ‘pinch me’ moment.

Wood is among that group. Over the years of hosting BNCMAP, the two have only gotten closer. Despite some fans shipping them, she says, “We're just very comfortable and not afraid to twist the knife to really get under each other's skin in a very brother-sister way.”

Because of Wood, Averick has become more outgoing. “He's been helpful with how I approach the people I'm obsessed with and admire, because that was very hard for me,” she says. When Ilana Glazer, one of Averick’s comedy idols, came on their podcast, Wood eased Averick’s anxieties. “He was just so calm, cool, and collected around her.”

After we finish our smoothies, we head to Book Soup, a vintage-like bookstore with wooden shelves and a magazine stand outside, where we spot titles we’ve just talked about, like Spring Awakening, Twilight, and Averick’s current fixation, Sarah J. Maas’ Crescent City series. There’s even a copy of Heated Rivalry. If Averick were in charge of Phoebe Berman’s film adaptation casting, she’d want Hudson Williams to play one of the love interests and a known actor to play her lead character. (“Those boys [Williams and Connor Storrie] are the loves of my life, and it just shows that we're hungry for new faces.”)

Averick also wouldn’t mind making a “little cameo.” Being an actor was one of those fantasies that Averick had as a kid, but never thought could happen. “I just didn't see how I would get there,” she says. Now that she has her first book coming out and over 1.3 million followers across social platforms, Averick feels more confident.

“Phoebe got reviewed on Kirkus. That made me realize, ‘OK, I'm an author,’” she says. “Being taken seriously in author spaces has been my biggest ‘pinch me’ moment.” She owes it all to her followers who have been on this journey with her since 2020.

We’re in the middle of browsing the shelves at Book Soup when two fans stop us to share that they’ve pre-ordered the novel and can’t wait to read it. It’s a brief interaction, but the excitement on their faces is undeniable — and so is the delight on hers.

]]><![CDATA[Belissa Escobedo On 'Happy's Place,' Comedy, & Reba McEntire]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/belissa-escobedo-happys-place-comedy-reba-mcentire-interviewhttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/belissa-escobedo-happys-place-comedy-reba-mcentire-interviewMon, 04 May 2026 12:00:24 GMT

It’s 2 p.m. in London when Belissa Escobedo joins our Zoom call. She’s wearing a black jacket with a Las Vegas graphic tee, a pair of oversized eyeglasses, and silver hoops, which are faintly disguised by her shoulder-length brown curls. There’s a slight swipe of nude lipstick on her lips, and aside from a curtain of blunt bangs, it’s like she hasn’t aged a day since we last talked almost two years ago.

The 27-year-old actor may appear the same on the outside, but a lot has happened since 2024. Back then, she was nervous for the premiere of NBC’s Happy’s Place, where she’d star alongside country superstar Reba McEntire. Now, she’s a seasoned sitcom veteran with two full seasons under her belt and the green light for a Season 3 renewal. And she’s finally ready to embrace her character, Isabella, in all her messy glory.

In two seasons, Isabella moves across the country to meet her half-sister, Bobbie (McEntire), who never knew she existed, steps into her own as she navigates the rather bleak dating market, and returns to school after dropping out of Stanford. Fans have also watched Escobedo step into her own as a rising comedy star, holding her own alongside not only McEntire but a slew of big-name celebrity guests like Christopher Lloyd, JoAnna García Swisher, and Jane Lynch.

Of course, having spent the last two years starring opposite the “sitcom queen,” Escobedo has learned even more about comedy — especially how to perform in front of a live studio audience with multiple cameras on you at all times. “Reba’s comedy is very joyful and leads with grace and silliness; it always makes you feel warm,” she says. “That’s something I learned from her, because I usually go for the loud, crazy comedy.”

It’s only natural, though — Escobedo has always loved making people laugh, but it wasn’t until she played Grandpa Joe in her fifth-grade play that everything clicked. “That was my first and last time doing a musical, mind you, I cannot sing,” she laughs. Still, the revelation was more important than pitchy notes in an elementary school rendition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Inspired by her comedy idols Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and America Ferrera (who she says is “underrated for her comedy”), she registered for acting classes and began studying sitcoms like The George Lopez Show and Everybody Hates Chris. Eventually, she’d be accepted to the top-ranked Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, whose alumni include the likes of Zoey Deutch, the Haim sisters, and Elizabeth Olsen.

“My parents drove me an hour away to the performing arts high school every day for four years,” Escobedo says. “They were very committed to helping me in any way they could.” Despite supporting her Hollywood dreams, she says her father always urged her to have a backup plan. But, after dropping out of college — she briefly attended The New School in New York City — Escobedo moved back home to give acting a real chance. “I always said there was no backup plan,” she says. “I ignored everybody whenever they would try to tell me it’s too hard. I would just be like, ‘Yeah, I know, but there’s nothing else I want to do, so why wouldn’t I do it?’”

Honing her skills at CASA 0101, a performing arts theater in Boyle Heights founded by Josefina Lopez, the author of Real Women Have Curves, her big break came in 2020 when she landed a role on ABC’s The Bake and the Beauty. She’d eventually go on to star in Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 alongside Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, and, a year later in 2023, share a screen with Xolo Maridueña, Susan Sarandon, and George Lopez in Blue Beetle.

I had a lot of conversations with George [Lopez] about comedy. He told me to lean into the uncertainty of it all — act on the doubt.

“I’ve been so lucky to work with such big actors,” Escobedo says. “It taught me how to hold my ground and hold my own in this space. I had a lot of conversations with George about comedy. He told me to lean into the uncertainty of it all — act on the doubt. If you’re scared of doing it, do it, because it’s probably going to be the funniest take.”

Currently on a filming hiatus, Escobedo isn’t letting her comedy chops sit idle. She re-enrolled in improv classes and is starting to lean into her own “very dry” humor. (Escobedo jokes that her Happy’s Place castmate, Pablo Castelblanco, might jokingly call her a bully, but she argues she’s merely observational.)

But whatever she’s doing, it’s working. A proud Chicana, Escobedo’s comedy skills have made her one of the 6% of actors in U.S. broadcast television who are Latino. “I haven’t been working professionally in the industry for very long, but even then, I was one of the few Latinas. It’s so much more pronounced right now, being on a network television show,” Escobedo says.

The beauty of Escobedo’s character on Happy’s Place is that there isn’t a specific focus on her heritage — she exists as a person who happens to be a Latina. “I’ve always felt comedy is something that can unify people,” she says, adding that she wants more Latinx actors to lean into the genre. “It’s so freeing. I feel like so many people think they can’t do comedy because they’re not a big jokester in real life, which is just so not true. Comedy, just like drama, is a muscle.”

I feel like so many people think they can’t do comedy because they’re not a big jokester in real life, which is just so not true.

Surrounded by other up-and-coming Latinx comedians, Escobedo calls Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Michelladonna close friends. In fact, Escobedo’s first executive producer credit will be on Michelladonna’s short film, Azucar, which is set to start filming in April. “These connections, when they come up, are so kismet… and so random,” she says of the way their relationship has evolved.

While Escobedo is currently enjoying her time off as Happy’s Place airs, she’s looking forward to rejoining her castmates soon. “Isabella’s the most open-ended character I’ve played. There’s so much she could do, and who knows what she’s going to be like in the third season. I have no clue, I’m excited to find out.”

Until then, Escobedo will keep trying to win at pub trivia — she’s had no success yet — and keep dreaming big in her career. “I would love to do a comedy horror. Start writing more or working with a writer. I’m manifesting an abundance of creativity, whatever that may look like for me.”

]]><![CDATA[Anania On 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' ‘Gaydar' & 'Glee']]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/anania-rocky-horror-broadway-gaydar-glee-interviewhttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/anania-rocky-horror-broadway-gaydar-glee-interviewMon, 04 May 2026 12:00:24 GMT

For Anania, comedy started as a means of survival. The comedian, who uses she/they pronouns, grew up in Davenport, Iowa, where their trans identity wasn’t always understood by their classmates. So, Anania learned to be funny. “If I wasn’t the class clown in middle school, I don’t think I would’ve made it through that hell,” they say.

Now the 25-year-old singer, drag star, and Gaydar host is making her Broadway debut, but she carved out some time for a spirited Zoom chat between rehearsals. Anania has also found solace in pop culture, a passion that would lead her to viral fame a few years down the line. Her favorite movies were Shrek, The Proposal, Identity Thief, and Madagascar (“It’s still my favorite”). But it was the musical comedy series Glee that holds a special place in her heart, having grown up performing in show choir.

“Glee kind of changed my life,” Anania says. “Right before I went to college, I remember sitting down and watching it all the way through, because I’d only seen some random episodes when it aired. I really liked Santana and Mercedes. And also Roz Washington, the coach that NeNe Leakes played. She should’ve gotten an Emmy for that!”

As a proud Gleek, Anania’s current project is a full-circle moment. They’re making their Broadway debut in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a cult classic that they first fell in love with because of a certain group of mismatched McKinley High students. The 2026 revival opened on March 24 and runs until June 21.

“My introduction to Rocky Horror — you’re going to gag — it was Glee,” Anania says, referencing Season 2’s themed episode. “Amber Riley was my Frank-N-Furter.” It wasn’t until she was cast in a 2024 drag parody of Rocky Horror that Anania finally watched the 1975 movie. “It’s so weird, but I fell in love with the absurdity of it,” they say. In the drag show, they played Magenta, but for Broadway, Anania is a swing for both Magenta and Riff Raff. “Rehearsing as Magenta has been really fun, but right now, I’m most excited about singing Riff Raff’s parts.”

The audience are sharks; they can smell artificiality.

Though Anania is new to Broadway, she’s no stranger to the spotlight. She gained a large following on TikTok during the pandemic, posting comedy skits (a clip imagining a Gen Z president was her first big hit) and makeup tutorials as she discovered her drag persona. “When I first started, I was just doing anything,” she says. “It was just purely out of fun, curiosity, and boredom.” Her secret to viral success is simple: Never try to be who you think viewers want to see. “The audience are sharks; they can smell artificiality. My goal is always to make sure that in 15 seconds, people remember my name and know what I want to do in life.”

Toward the end of 2023, Anania moved to New York City. (“There were so many logistical, administrative things. It’s not that Sex and the City bullsh*t where you just put on a mule and run across the street.”) After a few months, they were approached to host the online quiz show Gaydar, a TikTok- and YouTube-based series on which Anania tests celebrities on queer history and pop culture. The series has blown up in the past year, with buzzy guests like Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, and Zohran Mamdani — but they’re still pursuing their white whale.

“I want RuPaul on Gaydar,” she says. “I think she’d be the best episode yet. I want her to show up in one of her f*ck-*ss TikTok wigs and a pair of sunglasses, and just give it to me.”

And yes, they’ve considered auditioning for Drag Race, but won’t pull the trigger until they feel they can match up to Season 15’s winner. “This sounds so pompous, and my disclaimer is, I promise I’m not an *sshole. But the way that Sasha Colby didn’t need to go on Drag Race — but she did, and swept it — I want that same experience,” Anania says. “I want to make sure that when I go on, I can literally walk to the top four. Because I know that I’ll be going into debt. I’m going into financial ruin for at least a couple years if I do Drag Race.”

For now, Anania is happy to be a fangirl. That’s sort of their default mode anyway. They credit anime hits from the 2000s with sparking their love of fan fiction. “My first fanfic was Bleach, when I was 12. Then the floodgates opened when I watched Naruto,” Anania says. “People were slutting out Naruto and Sasuke everywhere. That’s where I got my angel wings.”

Her current fandom obsession, as anyone who follows Anania on social media knows well, is HBO Max’s medical drama The Pitt. She started the show because of one ship that’s been prominent online, but now that she’s seen the dynamic on screen, she isn’t exactly on board. “I kept seeing so much Hucklerobby; that’s Whitaker and Dr. Robby fan fiction and fan art. So I was like, ‘Let me lock in and see what this is about.’ The whole time, Hucklerobby was a red herring. And I hate Robby.”

Their preferred ship is Mohabbot, the imagined pairing of Dr. Samira Mohan and Dr. Jack Abbot. So, Anania is in mourning when we talk, as just days earlier, Mohan actor Supriya Ganesh was announced to be exiting the series. “Don’t even get me started,” they sigh, revealing the pain over the departure has seeped into her dreams. “I had a dream last night that Supriya Ganesh sicced a crocodile on me, and it was chasing me during her wedding. I don’t know what that symbolism is, but I was like, ‘Why would she do that?’”

While her current focus is Broadway over television (“I absolutely want to do TV, but I want to see this musical theater thing through now that it’s happening”), she can’t help but fantasize about a role on the rumored night shift spinoff of The Pitt. “If that happens, I want to be part of it,” she says. “My night shift doctor, when she’s not at the ED, she’s twirling for sticky dollar bills on a Pittsburgh nightclub floor.”

Anania has clear goals for the future, but they’re more interested in making the most of their present success, helming both a hit digital series and making it big on Broadway at long last. They have just four words they use when manifesting a happy and fulfilled life: “Sanity, serenity, sexuality, transgenderism.”

]]><![CDATA[Jo Sunday On ‘Body Count,’ ‘SNL,’ & Taking Risks In Comedy]]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/jo-sunday-snl-body-count-comedy-interviewhttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/jo-sunday-snl-body-count-comedy-interviewMon, 04 May 2026 12:00:24 GMT

Last summer, in the sticky August heat in New York City, Jo Sunday had a decision to make. She was preparing to move a few hours north to start medical school at Boston University. Papers were signed, outfits were packed, a plan was in place — but something was off. “At the last moment, it just didn’t feel right,” Sunday says. There was a more pressing (and riskier) dream on the line: a comedy career.

“Before I had any sense that comedy could be a real job for me, the only thing I felt was that I really cared about it, and I really, really wanted to try.” In a last-ditch moment of clarity, that gut feeling won out, so Sunday dropped out of med school and sent up a prayer to the universe that this would all work out.

“This was the big crisis of my life up until genuinely a few months ago,” the 25-year-old tells me on Zoom, sitting in a sunshiney corner of her apartment in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, her enviably long red hair billowing outside the frame. For years, she’d been pursuing both comedy and medicine, following two forks in the road for as long as humanly possible. “I would take pounds and pounds of flashcards to open mics, and I would do my jokes and stay to listen to everybody else’s jokes, but I’d also be studying my bonds at the same time,” Sunday says. Saying goodbye to medicine was the ultimate test in trusting her intuition. “There was so much genuine risk involved that it could have easily gone left.”

Spoiler alert: This story has a happy ending. Two months after throwing caution to the wind, Sunday was announced as a new writer on the 51st season of Saturday Night Live. Her monthly show Body Count, which she co-hosts with her friend Tessa Belle, keeps attracting new audiences to Union Hall in Brooklyn — “Basically every flavor of the girls and the gays,” she says. In September, Sunday was named one of Vulture’s 2025 comedians to know, and in a March episode of his podcast So True, fellow comedian Caleb Hearon sang her praises effusively. As one Instagram commenter so aptly put it, “med school is shaking.”

Up until two years ago, I don’t think I was someone who people expected to be a comedian. So I feel like I have a lot to prove.

Even when hearing these accolades listed out, Sunday still can’t wrap her mind around the fact that her big swing is paying off. “I got incredibly, incredibly lucky,” she says. On the one hand, she jokes that she can be “a little bit of a diva,” believing she should be recognized when she’s out to watch her friends perform at comedy events. (“Facetiously in my mind, sometimes I’m like, ‘Wait. You don't know who I am?’”) On the flip side, Sunday’s underdog mentality is what drove her ambition to get here. “Up until two years ago, I don’t think I was someone who people expected to be a comedian,” she says. “So I feel like I have a lot to prove.”

Growing up as a “first-and-a-half generation” immigrant from Ghana, Sunday moved to the United States with her family at age 3 and then lived all over the country, from Connecticut to Colorado. She never thought of herself as particularly funny, but she learned early that she could capture attention and hold onto it. “I had a sense that I was interesting or strange, and I had a sense pretty much right away that I could affect people,” she says. Sunday’s earliest comedy memory was watching her parents’ VHS tapes of Ghanaian stand-up sets on the sly, after they’d put them on when hosting friends for dinner. “I’d sneak down the basement steps and listen to everyone laugh at this thing that I wasn’t allowed to be part of yet,” she says. “Honestly, it’s funny because there was pushback from my parents to me becoming a comedian, and it’s like, ‘You guys created this.’”

One of the founding questions of my comedy is ‘Am I strange or is the world strange?’

She enrolled in high school theater and fell in love with improv specifically. “Theater was a little bit hard for me as one of the only Black students in a predominantly white school. It was often hard to fit me in,” she says. “Improv is so exciting because you get to come on stage and we all make it up together. There weren't those limitations anymore, and I could be whatever I wanted.” She chose the University of Chicago for college so she could dive further into the comedy scene, then started doing stand-up and figuring out her style.

Forbidden themes are Sunday’s favorite things to explore in her work. “I start with something that scares me or makes me uncomfortable,” she says. In Body Count, which is centered on sex and dating, she tackles heavy themes like sexual violence and misogyny with the deftness of someone twice her age and experience level. “One of the founding questions of my comedy is ‘Am I strange or is the world strange?’” Sunday says. (Her answer: It’s definitely both.)

She started Body Count a year ago and has been steadily growing her career ever since, performing at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal last July. The SNL gig marks her biggest breakthrough moment yet, and it has finally allowed her to quit her nonprofit day job to do comedy full time. Sunday got the call that she’d been hired while on vacation in Ghana after quitting med school. She had to fly back immediately to make it to the start date. “I went from JFK Airport to 30 Rockefeller Plaza for my first day working,” she says.

It really was the magic of SNL that I had read about in so many threads and seen in so many documentaries.

So far, her proudest SNL sketch has been “Cousin Planet,” which she wrote and directed with Jane Wickline and Veronika Slowikowska for the Dec. 6 episode. It’s a trippy techno bop about where cousins go when they’re not home for the holidays. “It really was the magic of SNL that I had read about in so many threads and seen in so many documentaries,” Sunday says of the skit’s creation process. “I’m this 25-year-old kid, and I suddenly get to work in this tower palace at Rockefeller Plaza, and I have teams of people who are looking to Jane, Veronica, and me as the mini directors of this world of a sketch.”

When she’s not pulling all-nighters for her job with SNL, Sunday has a few other personal projects in the works. “I really want to be in a TV show,” she says, mentioning Adults as one of her favorites. “I have some pilots in the works — one about a girl at a fancy, fancy college who is an undercover spy and another about a pop star who falls in love with their bodyguard.” She and Belle have plans to turn Body Count into a podcast, and Sunday also wants to appear in a stage play.

Life is moving quickly, but she’s still on the same daily grind of trying to prove herself. “A lot of my life as a comedian is about presenting myself as glamorous and fun and larger than life,” Sunday says. But the reality is that she’s like any other 20-something living in Brooklyn. “It’s like I don’t have money, and my crush is rejecting me, and I have to move suddenly. Life is continuing at the same time that the glamour is setting in.”

]]><![CDATA[TikTok’s Madison Humphrey On Parodies, Skits, & 'Jury Duty']]>https://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/madison-humphrey-parodies-skits-tiktok-interviewhttps://www.elitedaily.com/entertainment/madison-humphrey-parodies-skits-tiktok-interviewMon, 04 May 2026 12:00:24 GMT

Look under the comments section of any out-there TikTok, and there will be one name mentioned countless times: Madison Humphrey. The 26-year-old content creator is famous on the app for her parodies, and her followers tag her under the videos they hope she’ll recreate. She rarely disappoints — even if the parody requires acting out a wedding in the middle of a water park, surrounded by Jet Skis.

“The water park reached out to me. The subject of the email was literally ‘Does Madison need a water park?’” she says, joining our Zoom call from a bright and sunny room in her Dallas home. “I was like, ‘Yes, yes.’” She’s also officiated a wedding next to a fire truck, got married on a Southwest flight (with the help of a flight attendant who follows her), and rollerbladed down the aisle, to name a few.

Humphrey has always had a penchant for theatrics. “From a really young age, I was researching ‘How to get an agent? How to be in a movie? How to be in a TV show?’ I had a notebook where I would write down all my findings,” she says. Theater in high school helped her hone her comedic timing, a skill she brought with her to the University of North Texas, where she minored in theater performance.

Still, becoming TikTok's favorite source of comedic relief was unexpected. “I’m super introverted, so I was never the class clown,” she says, even though she always was the “funny friend” in her group. In the fall of 2021, she started posting on the app, shooting the solo videos with a tripod in her bedroom. “I’d make these little high school-themed skits. Honestly, they’re really cringey to look back on,” she says. “Sometimes I’ll see people repost them, and I’m like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, no.’”

I always want to be laughing with people and not at people.

Eventually, she started getting a couple of thousand views on her videos. Her slow and steady growth reached its stride when she started writing skits around her leasing manager character — poking fun at the stereotype who’s notoriously unprepared but always carrying a lanyard full of jangling keys. “There was never one moment where I was like, ‘OK, this is how to make people laugh.’ I feel like that changes every day, but that was the first time I was like, ‘Oh, this is what it really means to go viral.’”

At the time, Humphrey was working as a sideline reporter for college football — a gig she was nervous about giving up to pursue social media full-time. “Broadcast journalism is very cutthroat. You have to start from the bottom and work your way up,” she says. But in April 2022, she decided to go for it. “I was really worried. I knew if I took a year off of college football and needed to come back, I’d have to start all the way over. So my mindset was ‘This better work out.’”

It did. Humphrey now has more than 4.8 million TikTok followers who tune in for her relatable sense of humor and admirable commitment to the bit. About a year and a half ago, she started doing parody content. Now, that might be what she’s best known for. Her page is full of videos of surprising wedding venues, proposals gone awry, and elaborate gender reveals.

“The whole parody thing started when I saw cringey wedding trends — like the groom smashing cake in the bride’s face really meanly and overdramatically,” she says. “Getting married in a water park? Iconic. It doesn’t happen every day. Those videos are really fun to recreate.” She wasn’t basing her skits on specific people, but her followers soon started tagging her in videos they wanted her to remake.

“Very quickly, I realized, ‘Wait a second, these are actual weddings. I need to be checking in with these people.’” A few DMs from the people she was parodying also helped her fine-tune her approach. “I got a couple messages from people, saying, ‘Hey, we don’t mind that you recreated it. We just would’ve loved to have been asked.’”

It was a “learning moment” for Humphrey. She reached out to people she’d parodied, apologized, and asked if they wanted her to take the videos down. Most, however, didn’t mind. “The original posters have a lot of fun seeing their moments brought to life in a different way.”

Still, Humphrey decided that she would ask for permission, going forward. “I always want to be laughing with people and not at people,” she says. At this point, people tend to understand Humphrey’s parody style — and they’re excited to be in on the action. “When I go to reach out to people, 99% of the time, they’ve already messaged me asking if I’ll recreate it,” she says.

Let’s put that out there. Who do I need to talk to get on Jury Duty?

Already, her success on social media has led to a commercial with Jake From State Farm and three movies (Offsite, an indie horror-comedy; Cowgirl for Christmas, a holiday movie; and Wish Watch, a time-loop movie, set in high school) in the works. “Every day, I feel super thankful that I get to do this as my job,” she says. “I absolutely love it.”

There’s still more Humphrey is hoping to achieve, specifically more acting roles — and maybe even a spot on Jury Duty. “Every episode, I tell my husband, ‘If they called me, I would pack my suitcase that day and go and do it,’” she says. “Let’s put that out there. Who do I need to talk to get on Jury Duty?”

But even if Jury Duty doesn’t call, she has plenty to keep her busy. In between water park bookings and Southwest takeovers, Humphrey has another major project in the works: a film about two of her “most-loved characters.” After about a year of writing, Humphrey and her co-writers finished the script and hired a casting director. “We’re manifesting getting this project off the ground because it can be a very slow, sometimes discouraging process,” she says. “But I really believe that when you put it out there, it’s going to happen.”

A Textured T-Shirt That Puts Plain To Shame

Everyone needs a few T-shirts in their closet that aren’t graphic or slogan-ridden, and this textured top fits the bill.

These pleated wide-leg trousers keep you looking perfectly polished without feeling stiff.

A Bright Crochet Top That Spotlights Whatever’s Beneath

An open-knit piece like this crochet top is less about covering up and more about revealing what’s underneath.

To lean into it, choose a contrasting color underneath.

  • Available sizes: Small – XX-Large

  • Available sizes: Small – XX-Large

A Denim Skirt Done Right

Taking a page from the tiered skirt trend, this denim maxi is all about the volume. A departure from a sleek bodycon or classic mini, it flows out from the ultra-high waist into three soft tiers. It’s a little country, and a whole lot cute when paired with a crop top or a tucked-in tank.

  • Available sizes: X-Small – XX-Large
  • Available colors: 3

A Budget-Friendly Linen Maxi With Designer Energy

To find a 100% linen dress, you’d typically be looking at pricier retailers. But luckily, Amazon has this maxi that looks far more expensive than it is. The contrast seam, which ties into a bow at the back, and the column silhouette both lend it a more elevated, high-end feel.

A Perfectly Cropped Linen Tank With Buttons Down The Back

If you’re building outfits around elevated basics, this linen top is a must-have.

  • Available sizes: Small – XX-Large
  • Available colors: 5+

A Crochet Tank Top With An Expensive Look
