Ana de Armas has now starred alongside Keanu Reeves in three films, and has nothing but wonderful things to say about the John Wick star. Yet that didn’t stop the Havana-born star from doing her best to kick Keanu’s a** on the set of Ballerina.

A new behind-the-scenes video from the set of Ballerina, the upcoming John Wick spin-off starring both Reeves and de Armas, gives a fun peek behind the curtain of what goes into the creation of a Hollywood action movie. Though it’s less than 30 seconds in length, it is a great indication of the collaborative process that goes into making a fight scene work—as well as the two A-listers’ dynamic.

In the clip, de Armas—who plays Eve Macarro, a ballerina who is just beginning to train as an assassin—is rehearsing a fast-moving and very hands-on fight sequence, in which she’s squaring off against Reeves, a.k.a. John Wick himself. They are working with a pair of stunt coordinators who are helping to choreograph the moves.

After making sure that she is starting from the correct position, de Armas then jumps up and attacks Reeves. The actress may have gotten a little too into her character, however, as she appears to hit—or at least bump into—Reeves for real while practicing her moves. Though she apologizes, Reeves seems amused and assures her that it’s not a problem. “You do your thing,” he insists.

The next take appears to go much more smoothly, with de Armas’ Eve appearing to get the best of Wick—until he turns the tables. It’s a fun look at the highly anticipated film, which will arrive in theaters on June 6, 2025.

Imagine this:

You're suffering from stage 4 lung cancer at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center. You hear about clinical trial double lung transplant at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, and your insurance company, Cigna, approves procedures to have you transferred there and undergo the life-saving transplant. And on your way there everything comes to a screeching halt, after Cigna denies coverage at the 11th hour.

That's exactly what happened to 59-year-old Deron Wells. According to ABC 7, Wells was on his way to Illinois before coverage was denied, despite prior approvals. The husband and father of three has appealed the decisions. As he waits, his life hangs in the balance.

"I am really sad that my life is in the hands of these decision-makers who seem to make these decisions in such a cold way," he said.

Wells' wife, Janet Savarimuthu, hopes Cigna comes to its senses.

"The last option we have is for us to take him to Northwestern, period," she said. "I hope Cigna really understands the seriousness of the situation. We're not just a number. We are talking about his life."

The once healthy and active father had been approved for the clinical trial by both UCLA Medical Center and Northwestern Memorial, which announced its breakthrough clinical program for people with stage 4 lung cancer back in September 2022.

Chicagos' Albert Khoury in September 2021 became the first person at the age of 54 to undergo a lung transplant after chemotherapy treatments failed.

"But despite these clear medical approvals, Cigna, his health insurance provider, is refusing to authorize the transplant and the emergency medical transport needed to get him to Chicago," a friend writes in a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to get Wells to Chicago if Cigna doesn't reverse course. "Without immediate intervention, Deron may not survive."

A Cigna spokesperson told ABC 7, "Our coverage guidelines are grounded in national clinical standards to help ensure the best possible outcomes for patients."

When one career has essentially defined your entire family, it has to be easy to get pulled into following that same path. However, for Thunderbolts* star Wyatt Russell, seeing his movie star parents Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn thrive on the big screen almost wasn't enough to persuade him to push for the same future.

Key word being "almost."

During a recent interview on Driven with Andrew Freund, Russell was asked if he ever wanted to "rebel" and not go into the family business.

The 38-year-old actor admitted he was close to taking a very different career path, stating that he even made up a fake name and contemplated heading to Europe to play hockey.

Best of all, Russell admits that his fake persona would have included a first name that he and a friend literally just made up.

"I mean, that was from the beginning, that was why I didn't do it," Russell said. "I was going to change my name when I went to go play hockey in Europe to Namco Steinhoff. I tried to change my name.

Russell explained that Steinhoff was a family name, but Namco was pulled out of thin air.

"Steinhoff was my grandmother's maiden name on her side of the family ... and Namko was just a name I came up with my friend Peter."

As Freund points out in the video, Russell played hockey for many years, including a stint with the Chicago Steel in the United States Hockey League. He also played in Canada in the early 2000s and most recently in the Netherlands for the Pecoma Grizzlies Groningen in 2009-10, according to Elite Prospects.

Considering his breakout role in Thunderbolts*, along with success in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, 22 Jump Street and other films, it's safe to say he's found a calling in the world of acting.

In recent months, pop sensation Justin Bieber has been very candid about issues that have presumably been plaguing him over the years. And he did that once again on Friday.

Last month, Bieber got very candid as he took a stand against the paparazzi, spoke out against those spreading rumors about him, and made it clear that he does not want to be told what he "deserves."

On Friday, the pop superstar opened up in a new way as he broke his silence on "being used" by "greedy" people in a post on Instagram.

"The truth is I wake up every morning," Bieber began in his post that featured just a photo of a bird. "Some days I’m optimistic. Sometimes I wake up pessimistic

"I can’t control how I’m gonna feel," Bieber continued. "I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective."

Bieber says that he has been asking God for guidance in how to "see the best in people" even though he believes that those people haven't exactly had his best interest in mind over the years.

"I’ve been really asking god to help me see the best in people," Bieber wrote. "Even after being used in the way I have. Once again it’s Easier to point the finger than it is to take ownership. It’s easy to say damn [they're] greedy rather than to check the greed in our own hearts."

"Only god can remove the greed and selfishness from our hearts," Bieber concluded. "Trying harder won’t work. Cuz I tried lol."

It's not clear exactly who Bieber is referring to when he references the "greedy" and "selfish" people who have "used" him, but the unfortunate truth is that description has probably applied to many people throughout his high-profile life and career.

It's clear that he is trying to deal with the anger and resentment that has built up in the healthiest and most loving way possible.

The Frasier revival is officially out at Paramount+ after just two seasons, Glamour reported. But, don’t count the beloved psychiatrist out just yet. Star and executive producer Kelsey Grammer says he’s “very positive” the show will find a new home.

Grammer, now 70, returned to the role of Dr. Frasier Crane in 2023, nearly 20 years after the original series ended its acclaimed 11-season run on NBC. While the reboot brought Frasier back to Boston and introduced a new cast of characters, it never gained the same momentum. For that, Grammer blames more on the platform than the product.

“There’s a better home for it,” he told the New York Post earlier this year, pointing fingers at internal changes at Paramount+. “They didn’t really promote or spend much time on it.” According to Grammer, the original executive who bought the show left before it aired, and the new regime lacked passion for the project.

Still, Grammer remains optimistic. He believes Frasier has a loyal following and could thrive with proper backing. “It’s got a huge audience, a big following, and if people know where to find it, I think they will.”

The revival followed Frasier’s return to Boston after the death of his father, with subtle callbacks to Cheers, the show that launched the character back in 1984. And if Grammer has his way, the future could include a reunion with Ted Danson as Sam Malone. “We’ve been talking about a couple ideas,” Grammer teased. “Maybe on Frasier. We don’t know.”

While it’s unclear where the show will land next, CBS Studios has confirmed they’re shopping the series around. So far, there's no word on if any other streaming service will pick up the show.

For fans, the message is clear: Frasier may be off the air for now, but his final act is still unwritten.

Some of DeWalt's best deals of the season are live on Amazon right now. The tool brand is helping folks get into DIY projects this spring by dropping the prices of its popular 20V series drill kits, multi-tools, sanders, and more. For larger projects, extra DeWalt batteries are a must if you don't want to lose any time charging, and right now, a two-pack of the brand's exceptionally powerful model is nearly half off.

The two-pack of DeWalt's 20V Max XR Powerstack 5Ah Lithium Ion Batteries is now on sale on Amazon for $180, 48% off the normal price of $349. These supercharged batteries have earned nearly 500 five-star ratings from DeWalt users who say they "last a long time" beyond the brand's standard 20V models.

DeWalt 20V Max XR Powerstack 5Ah Lithium Ion Batteries, 2-Pack, $180 (was $349) on Amazon

These DeWalt Powerstack batteries are some of the brand's best, boasting an upgraded inner tech that delivers about 50% more power and 50% more work per charge with about twice as much lifespan as the standard 20V models. These are the batteries to look for when using DeWalt's power-hungry tools or any tool you know you'll be running constantly, like the work light or the job site fan. Each battery has an impact-resistant base with rubber molds for better grip, and there's even a fuel gauge to tell you when you're running low.

Shoppers who have picked up this set of Powerstack batteries say it far exceeds the performance they've been able to get from their existing batteries. "Wow, what a change," a shopper said. "This rechargeable battery is an excellent accessory for anyone who owns a DeWalt power tool. It's well-made, reliable, and designed to provide exceptional power and performance."

"I got these mainly because I was looking into getting some more power tools like a grinder, saws, etc.," another shopper said. "I purchased a DeWalt pole saw first and tested these bad boys out. They performed really well when cutting a full-grown tree with two of the batteries, and I still had almost a full battery after."

DeWalt batteries—especially this Powerstack model—can cost a lot of money, depending on where you look, which is why this is an absolute steal at $180 for a two-pack. Do not wait to grab a set for yourself, because the price could hike back up at any time.

Cybersecurity experts are sounding the alarm on what has been referred to as a "widespread epidemic" of weak passwords that could leave their data, accounts, and personal information at risk.

Cybernews recently conducted a study looking into more than 19 billion newly exposed passwords after several high-profile breaches in the past year. The outlet's research team wanted to examine the 2025 password creation trends.

What they uncovered in the data was quite alarming, to say the least.

The research found that 94 percent of passwords are reused, leaving Internet users vulnerable to exposure if even one of their passwords was exposed.

Additionally, almost a third of the passwords analyzed consisted of only lowercase letters and digits, making them easier to guess, and default and lazy passwords like “password”, “admin”, and “123456” are still a common pattern.

You can read the full study here.

"We’re facing a widespread epidemic of weak password reuse. Only 6% of passwords are unique, leaving other users highly vulnerable to dictionary attacks. For most, security hangs by the thread of two-factor authentication—if it's even enabled,” warned Neringa Macijauskaite, an information security researcher at Cybernews.

In response to these concerning findings, the Cybernews research team shared a few recommendations:

• Use Password Managers. They create and store unique, strong passwords for every service, reducing the temptation to reuse passwords across different platforms.
• Never reuse passwords. Make sure your password is at least 12 characters long, includes uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers, and at least one special symbol. Skip any words, names, sequences, or other recognizable strings.
• Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible. MFA provides an extra layer of security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised.
• Organizations should enforce password policies that require passwords to be at least 12 characters long, ideally 16, incorporating a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Complexity beats length.
• Organizations should ensure that adequate data hashing algorithms and configurations are implemented while continuously reviewing existing security standards revolving around data transit and storage.
• Review access controls regularly and perform regular security audits. This leads to a better security posture of a company and lowers the risk of its users’ personal data being leaked.
• Monitor and react to credential leaks. Organizations should adopt tools and platforms that can detect leaked credentials in real time, allowing them to instantly block access or require resets for affected accounts.

With hackers and cybercriminals getting more and more sophisticated everyday, it's important to keep your data and accounts secure.

Andor won over critics and hardcore fans alike with its grounded, gritty take on the Star Wars universe. But despite high praise and strong performances—especially from Diego Luna as Cassian Andor— Glamour reported Disney+ has confirmed the series will end with Season 2. Unlike many high-budget series that flame out due to low ratings or backstage drama, Andor is closing the book on its own terms.

From the beginning, Andor was designed as a tightly plotted prequel leading directly into Rogue One. But what started as a five-season plan quickly condensed to three, and then two. Showrunner Tony Gilroy told Empire, the decision wasn’t just creative—it was logistical. Season 2 will span four years over 12 episodes, landing right at the doorstep of Rogue One’s opening sequence.

Still, there’s more at play than narrative symmetry. Each episode reportedly costs around $20 million to produce, making Andor one of the most expensive shows in Star Wars history. Between practical sets, on-location shoots, and cinematic-level production values, the series demanded a blockbuster budget without pulling blockbuster-sized streaming numbers. The niche appeal, praised for its mature themes and slower pacing, may have turned off more casual fans.

This cancellation also signals a strategic shift for Disney and Lucasfilm. As streaming growth plateaus and budgets tighten, Disney+ is cutting back on big-ticket series. Going forward, Lucasfilm will reportedly release just one Star Wars show per year, refocusing on theatrical releases and fewer, more targeted streaming projects.

In the end, Andor will go out on its own terms—tight, complete, and unforgettable. Sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones that know when to end. The final episode releases May 13 at 6 p.m. PT only on Disney+.

The linear networks are busy picking up shows for next year and ABC has confirmed that a fan-favorite game show will return for its sixth season.

On May 9, ABC shared that Celebrity Wheel of Fortune would be back for another opportunity to have stars play the word game for the charity of their choice. Vanna White will be firmly in her co-host spot, but the press release did not announce whether it would be Pat Sajak or Ryan Seacrest by her side, via Deadline.

Sajak retired from the syndicated show after Season 41 and Seacrest took over ahead of Season 42. However, the fifth season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune was helmed by the retired host. Per TV Insider, the season that began in late April was Sajak's last spin around the wheel, but the ABC news didn't clarify whether Seacrest had officially stepped into his shoes for the special edition.

Men's Journal reached out to ABC for comment.

White spoke to Men's Journal at Hulu's Get Real event on April 23 where she praised both of her Wheel Of Fortune co-hosts.

"Obviously, it's a huge transition after working with someone for 41 years and someone new steps in," she explained. "But the first thing Ryan said to me was, 'I am not replacing Pat Sajak. No one can ever replace him. I'm just stepping in.' So that kind of says it all."

The ratings have also reflected the new energy with Seacrest at the helm. Viewers tuned in to see whether it would be a dramatically different show. Instead, it continued to be the show that they loved. White did offer a small bit of advice to Seacrest ahead of his debut: "Be yourself."

"He does American Idol — he's himself on that," White added. "I think he's so familiar with the show, and he steps in, and he is himself. You see his personality. And the audience responded to that right away."

Considering the immense amount of star power expected to be featured in the 2026 film Avengers: Doomsday, it’s no surprise that some big names are still awaiting word on where their characters fit.

However, for Wyatt Russell, one of the stars of the popular recently released film Thunderbolts*, most wouldn't expect him to be among those still in the dark. While Marvel continues its focus on keeping virtually everything about their films quiet to avoid revealing spoilers, it sounds like Russell is still waiting to receive information on all those top-secret storylines.

During an interview on Driven hosted by ?Andrew Freund?, Russell admitted that he's entirely in the dark, hasn't read a script and has "no idea" what he's doing in Avengers: Doomsday.

"I, honest to God, don't know what I'm doing. I have no clue, I have not read a script," Russell said. "I could die in the first five minutes, I don't know."

Russell added that he's "beyond excited" and "honored" to be a part of that aspect of the MCU.

Russell who stars in Thunderbolts* alongside Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Lewis Pullman, Olga Kurylenko and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, was a key part of the movie's immediate popularity.

It currently boasts a critic score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% rating on the Popcornmeter out of more than 10,000 total reviews.

Lorne Michaels had some legitimate fears when Jack Black hosted Saturday Night Live in April 2025.

During a recent guest spot on the Fly on the Wall podcast, Black told hosts Dana Carvey and David Spade that their former boss gave him a warning when he noticed him struggling during rehearsals for his opening monologue ahead of the April 5 episode of the NBC late-night show. Black, 55, performed an energetic parody of an Aerosmith song, which kicked off with a somersault-style move and included a run up the studio audience steps.

On the podcast, Black revealed that Michaels was so worried after he watched his rehearsal that he compared him to a legendary performer who hosted the show nearly 50 years prior, back in February 1976.

Black told Carney and Spade, "After the rehearsal, when he saw me do the tiger roll and he saw me doing that rockin' number, and he saw me sweating and wheezing, [Michaels] said, 'I just want to tell you a story. In the 70s... we had Desi Arnaz on the show. He was getting up there. He was in his 70s and I wanted him on because I just thought, 'Yes, he's older, but he's an icon and he had been on Lucille Ball.'"

"He said that Desi was kind of struggling," Black continued. "He wanted to do his 'Babalu' number. That was like his trademark that he'd been doing live for decades. And Lorne was a little worried about it. Can he still pull it off? And he was doing it, but he could see that he was starting to sweat and really struggle physically while he was 'Babalu'-ing and he wouldn't stop."

"Then [Michaels] looked closer on the screen and he's like, 'Desi's lips started to turn blue' and he started to worry like, 'Oh, he's about to die,'" Black said. "And he just pulled the plug on it and said, 'Just go to commercial.'"

Black admitted that Michaels' story stunned him. "I was like, 'Wait a second, are you telling me this story because you're worried, I'm going to die?’” he recalled. “Lorne was a little worried. He was just warning me not to go too hard. Because if I went full hard as a motherf---er, that I could die."

Michaels shared the story about Arnaz in the book Live From New York. Per an excerpt posted by The New York Times, the SNL creator recalled that back in 1976, he was “in the control room watching” and trying to figure out when to cut away from Arnaz’s never-ending performance.

“He throws himself into it so much, I'm like seeing his lips turn blue,” Michaels recounted. “He's going into it totally, like he's thirty. And I'm thinking, "Oh my God, he's going to have a coronary. What happens if he dies on live TV?" And so, we finally cut away to commercial.”

Arnaz was actually 58 years old at the time he appeared on SNL, but he looked much older than he did during his I Love Lucy days. The SNL clip has resurfaced on social media, and the Cuban bandleader can be seen pounding on his bongo as he belts out his signature tune before heading a Congo line through the audience.

The performance lasts for more than five minutes, and at one point near the end, Arnaz appears to be worn out but continues on, with SNL players Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, and John Belushi all in tow.

As you get older, finding time for the gym gets trickier. Whether you're juggling a demanding job, wrangling kids, or both, carving out even an hour can feel impossible. Maybe you used to spend hours lifting in your 20s, but these days, efficiency is everything. That’s why exercises that cut down your gym time and deliver big results are key.

If you want to carve your core and build upper body strength in one fell swoop, try a sequence like narrow pushups followed by alternating toe taps at the end of your workout. The best part? It requires zero equipment and can be done anywhere, from your garage to the gym.

"Combining upper-body and core work into one movement is a smart way to train, especially for athletes, people who don't have a lot of time, or anyone who values functionality," says certified personal trainer and head of nutrition and innovation at STYRKR, Leon Veal. "Moves like this improve coordination, save time by working multiple muscle groups, and simulate the kind of total-body control needed in sports and daily movement. Also, the addition of toe taps adds an element that increases heart rate and keeps the training dynamic."

Pushup Progression

If you've mastered the standard pushup, narrow pushups are the next step in gaining strength with just your bodyweight.

"By bringing the hands closer together, typically just beneath the chest or in line with your shoulders, you shift the focus toward the triceps, anterior deltoids, and inner chest fibers," Veal says. "The narrow position reduces stability as you don't have as wide a base. This makes your muscles work harder to control the movement, especially during the push phase."

Alternating Toe Taps for Improved Core Strength

Unlike crunches, which mainly target the upper core, toe taps work the lower abs and activate your obliques and hip flexors. Adding these to the sequence introduces a dynamic anti-rotation challenge to the core.

"As you shift into the toe tap from the pushup position, your body wants to rotate or your hips tend to dip down towards the floor," Veal says. "The key to engaging your core properly is by tightening it so that your body twists and dips just enough to get the movement done rather than not actually activating the muscles you are trying to work, which can be easily done with improper form."

Related: Are Half Reps the Muscle Hack Lifters Have Overlooked? Here’s What the Research Says

Narrow Pushups to Alternating Toe Taps Muscles Worked

"The general movement of narrow pushups works the triceps, pecs, and deltoids," Veal says. "Then, as you move into the toe tap, your lats, serratus anterior (a fan-shaped muscle positioned on the side of the chest, used for pushing or throwing a punch), and all core muscles are worked to control the movement. Simultaneously, the hamstrings and glutes activate to stabilize the hips and help you reach back without dipping your hips/lower back."

An extreme drought in Southwest Florida has shuttered businesses and turned the famed region's "River of Grass" into a bone-dry desert.

Matt Devitt, chief meteorologist at WINK News in Fort Myers, Fla., posted photos showing the astonishing condition of the Everglades. Devitt says the extreme drought is the worst it has been in 24 years.

"Even compared to a typical dry season, we are 6-10 [inches] drier than average since Mid-October," he continues. "Thankfully better rain chances are on the way for the weekend and early next week. It'll be helpful, but not expected to eliminate the drought."

Take Jessica Anshaw, for example, a woman who used to run airboat tours. She's been out of business since March due to the extreme drought.

"It's been over a month, a month and a half," she recently told Gulf Coast News Now. "We were running in March, then things got too low. Since the end of March, we haven't been running at all because, as you can see, there's no water."

She added, "Some areas we would ride are now just sand. If you walk out there right now, it's all sand."

Ever seen a boxer train? They're quick on their feet, lean as can be, and can anticipate their opponents' moves before they even make them. While every fighter has their own style, there’s one tool that shows up in almost every routine: shadowboxing. This technique sharpens reaction time, improves coordination, and keeps their conditioning razor-sharp. Not to mention, it’s low-impact, requires zero equipment, and torches calories.

"It's not just about throwing punches into the air; it's about visualizing an opponent in front of you," says American professional boxer Edgar Berlanga. "Shadow boxing helps me mentally key in on specific scenarios, combinations, counters, and movement patterns, allowing me to rehearse them both mentally and physically at the same time."

Why Shadowboxing Is a Cardio Knockout

Beyond keeping fighters mentally sharp, shadowboxing doubles as a killer cardio workout, which is exactly why it’s found its way into mainstream fitness routines. A 200-pound person can torch roughly 144 calories in just 30 minutes of shadowboxing.

"Shadow boxing is like running, high-intensity cardio," Berlanga says. "If you do it with speed, power, and continuous movement, it gets your heart rate up. If you're always moving in the ring and throwing punches, your heart rate can hit around 170. It's like running, doing sprints, or jumping rope—your heart is pumping, and you're staying active."

To an outsider, shadowboxing might look monotonous—just throwing punches into thin air on repeat. But according to Berlanga, there are plenty of ways to keep it fresh.

"To keep it challenging with every punch, it's like you're trying to hit a target with full extension, speed, and snap, even if there's nothing in front of you. You have to imagine the opponent is moving, blocking, and countering, making the practice feel real and intense."

How Boxers Build Power Without Lifting Weights

Shadowboxing isn't the only way boxers stay in shape, though. While it's a big part of their cardio routine, bodyweight exercises also play a crucial role in burning calories and staying strong without the added bulk that can come from heavy lifting.

"Bodyweight exercises are very crucial, especially compound full-body movements like pushups, squats, lunges, burpees, and planks, engaging multiple muscle groups," adds Berlanga. "This helps increase energy use and calorie burn both during and after the workout, supporting fat loss."

According to a statement released by Fox News, Camryn Kinsey is feeling "much better," per Deadline.

"After Fox News @ Night guest Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live on-air appearance last night in our Los Angeles bureau, paramedics were called and she was treated and cleared. We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery.”

At the time of her collapse, Kinsey was offering a critique of President Joe Biden's remarks on The View with Jonathan Hunt. In those remarks, Biden stated he "wasn't surprised" that Trump won the 2024 election, per Variety. In her retort, Kinsey stated that the Democrats "have to rewrite history because they had a failed campaign."

Kinsey stated, “This is what they have to do, they have to rewrite history because they had a failed campaign, they had a failed presidency. They put her as the border czar. She never went to the border. So this is about incompetency. It’s not about, uh, ideology." At that point in time, Kinsey paused and closed her eyes, and began to lose consciousness.

"We're going to get her some help...." Hunt replied. Many Twitter users flocked to the internet to post about the incident.

When the show returned, the host announced that Kinsey was "up and moving. We will keep you updated. We wish her all the best," he said. "We have paramedics checking her."

According to People, Kinsey received her master's from Liberty University and previously worked as a reporter and White House correspondent.

While Kevin Durant wasn’t the sole factor in Kyrie Irving’s departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers, many fans believe he played a significant part in creating one of the NBA’s “what if” scenarios.

Irving was joined by LeBron James, who returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014-15 after spending the first seven years of his career with the franchise. James then went to the Miami Heat for four seasons before re-signing with the Cavaliers, creating a dynamic duo with Irving.

In three years together in Cleveland, James and Irving led the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals each season, winning one title. However, both of their losses in the championship came at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, with the final loss a 4-1 series defeat to a budding dynasty headlined by Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

Irving joined the Boston Celtics following that NBA Finals loss, and while the Kyrie-less Cavaliers made it to the championship the following season, they lost to the Warriors again. James opted to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers one year later, and the Cavaliers have not returned to the promised land since.

On Friday, May 9, 2025, a fan posted a clip of Irving on the Cavaliers playing alongside James, and another replied to the post while tagging Durant to blame him for ruining a potential dynasty.

"oh man @KDTrey5 f*** you bro for ruining what would have been a dynasty in Cleveland," wrote the fan.

Durant replied with three crying laughing emojis and sent a simple message back:

"I rejoice every morning that it didn’t happen," Durant wrote.

Durant has never shied away from responding to fans on social media, and this time he offered another candid response to his role in helping derail what could have been a legitimate dynasty in Cleveland.

Iconic doughnut chain Krispy Kreme announced it quarterly earnings report earlier this week on May 8 and revealed a substantial change to a major partnership.

The chain revealed its decision to pause a "phased market rollout" of Krispy Kreme doughnuts to McDonald's all around the country. The decision came after the company revealed its net revenue declined $59.4 million (20.1%), primarily due to a $64.3 million reduction associated with the sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies.

In the release, Krispy Kreme revealed the doughnuts have already been made available for purchase at over 2,400 McDonald’s restaurants, namely in Indiana and Kentucky, as of March 30, 2025. The company planned for a nationwide availability at participating McDonald's locations by the end of 2026.

However, Krispy Kreme is now "reassessing the deployment schedule together with McDonald’s while it works to achieve a profitable business model for all parties and does not expect to launch in any additional restaurants in the second quarter of 2025."

Despite the decision the doughnut chain made it clear the company "continues to believe in the long-term opportunity of profitable growth through the U.S. nationwide expansion including McDonald’s."

The company previously announced its partnership with McDonald's in March 2024 following a test at 160 various locations in Kentucky featuring three flavors: Original Glazed Doughnut, the Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut and the Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled Doughnut.

"Partnering with McDonald’s on a national scale will provide our fans and doughnut lovers unprecedented daily access to fresh doughnuts and the joy that is Krispy Kreme," Josh Charlesworth, President and CEO of Krispy Kreme, said in a statement at the time.

It's all fun and games sailing on a luxury yacht until a massive orca starts attacking the expensive vessel.

That's exactly what happened to a family sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, and it was all captured on film and shard on social media. In the video shared by ABC News, you can see in the 54-second clip a woman films an orca sailing underneath its yacht.

She points to the giant marine mammal cruising under the yacht. She's astonished at the sight, but then things immediately become intense when the orca starts banging the side of the yacht.

"Yes, she's bumping us," the woman filming says. "She's trying to hit us on the side."

— ABC News (@ABC) May 9, 2025

The orca eventually goes on its way, but for a brief minute it sure frightened a group of people who were trying to enjoy the picturesque scene.

Orcas attacking boats is nothing new in this part of the ocean, with a string of high-profile vessel assaults grabbing headlines over the past few years. A wildlife biologist in Alaska recalled his experience in an essay published in July 2024 for Outside magazine.

"Along the Iberian Peninsula, where the North Atlantic collides with the rugged coastlines of Spain and Portugal before pinching into the Mediterranean Sea, an endangered subpopulation of orcas has developed the unfortunate habit of ramming into sailboats," the wildlife biologist wrote. "The powerful animals target the rudders, often breaking them and destroying or disabling a boat’s steering. Such force can sometimes also damage a boat’s hull and cause a leak."

According to the wildlife biologist, around 600 sailboats in the region have been hit and at least five have sunk since May 2020, when the first incidents were recorded.

A good lawn mower is something every homeowner needs to maintain their grass, and today, there are far more options than ever before. A new wave of mowers is revolutionizing the lawnscaping game, as more electric models with top-tier performance become readily available. While these generally fetch a premium price, Greenworks just posted a big discount on one of its best models on Amazon, a rare $120 off.

The Greenworks 60V Brushless 17-Inch Push Lawn Mower is on sale for just $280 on Amazon, with a seldom-seen 30% off its full price of $400. This easy-to-maneuver mower is making a chore feel like a treat, and shoppers have been loving its performance. “Cuts grass like butter, and it mulches beautifully,” noted one. It has over 100 five-star ratings and is a top 5 bestseller on Amazon, too. To make this deal even sweeter, you can opt for a 2- or 3-year protection plan for a marginal fee, which includes free shipping courtesy of Amazon.

Greenworks 60V Brushless 17-Inch Push Lawn Mower, $280 (was $400) on Amazon

This is the perfect electric lawn mower for those seeking to transition away from the noise and maintenance of traditional gas-powered models. For starters, it comes with a 4.0Ah, 60V battery and charger that provides enough power for a solid 40 minutes of use in a single session, which is enough to cut a quarter of an acre. Once done, you can pop the battery on the charger, and it fully recharges in less than an hour and a half. It has more power than a traditional gas mower, as it cranks out 3,500 RPMs from its brushless motor, allowing you to cut through grass with ease, as its six varying height positions—from 1.5 to 3.15 inches—let you get the perfect length for your yard.

“Fantastic electric lawn mower—it’s wide, fast, and enjoyable,” said a shopper. “Going electric over gas was a no-brainer for simplicity, power, and efficiency. This lawn mower is easy to assemble and cuts like a dream. Because I got two batteries, I was able to cut our front and backyard with about 1.25 of a charge. Highly recommend this lawn mower, especially if you dread cutting, as it makes the process fast and somewhat more enjoyable.”

“Maneuverable, quiet, and long battery life,” said another. “It operates smoothly, which makes a big difference when mowing lawns with hills, slopes, and home structures…and other places lawn tractors can't reach. It's so quiet—I no longer have to wear ear protection.” A third shopper even said it gives a “fresh cut—I took an entire ecosystem out with this bad boy fresh out of the box. This little green machine took out volunteer trees.”

If you’re ready to make the switch, the Greenworks 60V Brushless 17-Inch Push Lawn Mower is a phenomenal choice among electric models, and with a price this low, it’s likely to sell quickly—over 1,000 were bought last month. Grab yours today before it sells out.

It’s been 10 years since the release of the sequel to Seth MacFarlane’s popular movie Ted starring Mark Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried. Following the success of Ted, which came out in 2012 featuring Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and MacFarlane (who voiced Ted), the sequel starring Seyfried was a fun encore in 2015.

The group from Ted 2 is now set to run it back for another go-round, but this time, it'll be in a slightly different fashion.

According to Discussing Film, an animated sequel series to the Ted films is being created — and it'll star Wahlberg, Seyfried and MacFarlane once again.

An animated sequel series to the ‘TED’ films is in the works.

Seth MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried and Jessica Barth will all reprise their roles. pic.twitter.com/MFklAdfxxt

— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) May 9, 2025

The film, which features the foul-mouthed teddy bear named Ted, will not only feature Wahlberg and Seyfried but also Jessica Barth, along with MacFarlane. They'll reprise their roles as John, Sam, Tami-Lynne and Ted, the outspoken bear who stole the hearts of America (sort of).

According to Variety, Kyle Mooney will voice a new character named Apollo, while Liz Richman will voice Ruth. It is slated to be aired on Peacock and will mark the second television series focused on Ted, as the streaming service currently airs a live-action prequel.

As Variety points out, the prequel series, launched in January 2024, broke records as Peacock's most-watched original show. MacFarlane also voices Ted in that series.

The initial Ted film was a tremendous success, pulling in nearly $550 million at the box office, while the sequel grossed over $215 million.

Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery is set to make his directorial debut with The Engagement Party, Deadline reports, marking a major career step for the Netflix actor.

“On a beautiful, secluded island, amidst the golden rays and ocean breeze of a stunning beach house, two couples reunite to celebrate a momentous occasion. Until a conflicting memory arises which threatens to tear their relationships apart,” the synopsis reads. “With each wave crashing against the shore, the line between memory and manipulation blurs, forcing them to confront a question they’ve tried to forget: What really happened that night?”

Written by Joey Anast, the film will also see Montgomery star alongside Lily Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise), Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Arlo Green (M3GAN).

“I could not be more honoured to be directing The Engagement Party, a film with an extremely important and timely message,” Dacre Montgomery said. “I’m equally thrilled to have such a wonderful team of collaborators to help bring this story to life.”

Nick Batzias and Virginia Whitwell will produce for GoodThing Productions alongside Ian Booth and Nash Edgerton.

“We felt strongly that this was a special film from the start. It’s a bold and unique exploration of trauma, love, friendship and consent,” Batzias and Whitwell said. “Writer Jory Anast and director Dacre Montgomery are brave and fearless storytellers and we’re delighted to be working with them on this important film”.

Montgomery previously portrayed the role of Billy Hargrove on Stranger Things. The show's final season is expected to air later this year.

If flying out of Newark Liberty feels like a gamble lately, there's unfortunately one more reason to be wary. Early this morning, radar screens at the New Jersey airport went dark for the second time in just two weeks.

The glitch struck around 3:57 a.m. and lasted about 90 seconds, according to the FAA. That may not sound like much, but in air traffic control, even a few seconds can raise serious concerns.

“There was a telecommunications outage that impacted communications and radar display at Philadelphia TRACON Area C,” an FAA spokesperson told The New York Post, referencing the radar facility responsible for directing planes around Newark.

Audio from the incident captured air traffic controllers scrambling to keep things under control. One was heard warning a private jet from Cyprus to maintain an altitude above 3,000 feet, just in case radio contact dropped. Another controller relayed the blackout to a FedEx flight.

It’s a deja vu moment for Newark, which saw a similar incident back on April 28 when radar and comms dropped out for at least 30 seconds. That glitch caused mass delays and cancellations, leaving travelers stranded and frustrated.

The FAA blamed that earlier failure on outdated telecommunications infrastructure, staffing shortages, and ongoing runway construction, all of which compound pressure on an already strained system.

As of now, officials say they’re fast-tracking upgrades, including swapping out aging copper phone lines for fiber optics and adding three new data lines between New York and Philadelphia. The agency is also working to beef up air traffic staffing and accelerate controller certifications.

Still, there’s no clear timeline for when those fixes will be in place.

For now, Newark travelers might want to pack a little extra patience, and maybe a backup plan.

Over the years, Amazon has become notorious for its convenient returns process, allowing free returns on most products and often even allowing customers to return their products without a box or a label. Recently, that free and easy returns process has gotten even better for certain products.

If you're an Amazon customer who has recently attempted to return a product, you may have received a message informing you that you would be issued a full refund for your product with no return necessary – you keep the product, and get your money back.

As Tododisca points out, this "refunds without returns" trend is quietly becoming the norm for Amazon for certain products, typically applying to low-cost items that are difficult to resell or expensive to ship back.

"Processing returns is not cheap. For each returned item, retailers must cover shipping, inspect the product’s condition, and decide whether it can be resold. When the item is worth $20 or less, that entire process often costs more than the item itself," Tododisca wrote in a recent post.

"From a business standpoint, it’s more efficient to skip the return entirely. Think about a $15 t-shirt ordered online. Is it worth shipping it back, inspecting it, and tossing it if it’s unsellable? Not really. That’s why companies like Amazon and Walmart have started letting customers keep the product while still issuing a full refund."

There's another reason why Amazon has been opting for this style of return – it builds consumer trust. Tododisca points out that this is "often worth more than a refund" to the company.

It's worth noting that this style of return is not a right or a guarantee for Amazon shoppers. It's offered selectively at Amazon's discretion and cannot be requested by the customer.

Still, it's often a win-win for both Amazon and the customer when it is offered.

Sabrina Carpenter has emerged as one of the biggest stars in music over the past year or so. Along with putting out several hits such as Please Please Please and Taste, she’s made a number of appearances at marquee events as well.

Most recently, Carpenter was in attendance for the 2025 Met Gala, and while she unsurprisingly drew an abundance of attention, one moment went especially viral.

A photo of Carpenter eating a cherry hand-fed to her by singer/songwriter Usher swept across the internet. It picked up so much steam that apparently it even made its way back to Carpenter's father, who texted it to her daughter.

After Carpenter posted the message from her dad on Instagram, Usher replied with an apology.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Comments By Celebs (@commentsbycelebs)

"Apologies Mr Carpenter ??," Usher wrote.

The reactions from the photo were mixed, as some fans simply praised Carpenter for always seeming to have fun wherever she goes.

"she always seems to be having more fun than most celebrities and I love that about her," wrote one fan.

Someone else stated that Carpenter's rumored ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, was also in attendance and asked how that situation may have played out.

"Bear in mind Barry was in the same place too, so he saw this happening in real time… oh how I’d love to be a fly on the wall," wrote another fan.

Regardless, there was no shortage of reactions to the photo of Carpenter and Usher, but it all seemed to be in good fun.

Update: UNC shared a statement with ESPN, debunking the original report that Jordon Hudson has been banned from the school's football facilities.

"While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities," the school said in the statement to ESPN. "Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University."

The original report is below.

Bill Belichick won't have his girlfriend Jordon Hudson by his side during football practice, according to ESPN's Pablo Torre. On the May 9 episode of his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out, Torre said that 11 sources confirmed the news to him.

"Two sources at the University of North Carolina tell me that there has been a decision was made last week by the higher-ups inside the athletic department that had hired Bill Belichick to be the highest paid public employee, not just coach, in the state of North Carolina at $10 million a year. And that decision was that Jordon Hudson is no longer allowed in the football building," Torre said on his podcast.

"She is not allowed on the football field. Quote 'don't think you'll be hearing much from Jordon moving forward,'" he added.

Hudson appeared to respond to the podcast, re-sharing a post on X with someone else's take.

"We live in a culture much too rife with lazy conspiratorial thinking so I try to be very careful when speculating about where real nefariousness exists but this one feels like someone is trying to put the screws (no pun intended) to Belichick and Hudson is part of a bigger plot," read the message.

If Hudson was truly banned, the move comes just weeks after she made headlines for interrupting his interview with CBS Sunday Morning and telling the reporter that he wasn't going to talk about certain things during their sit-down.

On May 6, former NFL player Robert Griffin III spoke out about Belichick's relationship.

"Bill Belichick is the Greatest Head Coach in NFL History, but his girlfriend Jordon Hudson is becoming a problem. Bill can date whoever he wants, but his relationship has become the one thing he always hated as a coach, a DISTRACTION for his UNC Football team," he wrote on X.

Hudson seemed to react to that statement as well, re-sharing a message on X that read, "Is it a distraction for him or for us?"

Men's Journal has attempted to reach out to Belichick for comment.

Costco might be your go-to for bulk snacks and flat-screen deals, but for one savvy shopper, it turned into a goldmine.

Finance influencer Humphrey Yang recently shocked his audience online after revealing he flipped a small gold bar he bought from Costco for a nearly $600 profit.

In a TikTok video that’s racked up over 6.5 million views, Yang explained how he purchased a one-ounce PAMP Suisse gold ingot from the warehouse giant for $2,359 in April 2024.

@humphreytalks

Selling my Costco Gold Bar… here’s how it went ?

? original sound - Humphrey Yang

Fast forward 11 months, Yang sold that same Suisse gold bar to San Francisco-based bullion dealer Witter Coin for $2,955.42, pocketing a profit of $595.43. “Surprisingly easy,” Yang said after walking out with a bulk of cash.

Considering that gold was trading around $3,020 per ounce at the time, Yang felt the payout was fair. Dealers typically buy slightly below market value, and Yang happily took the deal.

However, not everyone thought it was time to cash out. Some Tiktok viewers suggested Yang got ahead of himself and online critics believed there was room to gain more.“Gold price is probably gonna end up at $8K,” one said. While another added, “Wrong time to sell.”

Turns out, they weren't wrong. Since Yang’s sale, gold has spiked to a record $3,300 per ounce, with Goldman Sachs even raising its year-end forecast to $3,700, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Analysts credit the rally to investor fears over renewed tariffs under President Trump, which some worry could trigger a broader economic downturn.

In fact, earlier this year, the market jitters were so intense that major banks reportedly shipped gold bars from London to New York on commercial airlines. So next time you're making a Costco run, aside from bulk savings, take a second look at the gold section. It might be worth the investment.

Radar screens at Newark Liberty International Airport briefly went dark again early Friday morning, renewing concerns over the aging infrastructure that keeps one of the nation’s busiest airspaces running.

The outage occurred at 3:55 a.m., according to air traffic control audio reviewed by ABC News. Controllers could be heard alerting pilots mid-air that their screens had gone black. One even urged a FedEx pilot to get the company to “put pressure on” for a fix.

In a separate transmission, a controller instructed a private jet to hold at 3,000 feet in case radio contact was lost during descent. While no accidents occurred, the situation echoes an incident just one week earlier, when radar screens went dark for up to 90 seconds and voice communication with aircraft was lost, prompting the FAA to temporarily halt all departures.

Related: Radio Silence: The 30 Seconds That Crippled Newark Airport

That first outage sent shockwaves through the control room. Several controllers have since gone on medical leave, citing trauma. Per FAA protocol, they’ll receive at least 45 days off and must be cleared by a physician before returning to work.

Compounding the issue, Newark’s radar is monitored from a facility in Philadelphia that was already operating short-staffed. The recent events have led to mass delays and cancellations, frustrating travelers and adding pressure on federal authorities to act fast.

On Thursday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy unveiled long-awaited plans to revamp the country’s “antiquated” air traffic control system. The overhaul includes new radars, upgraded hardware and software, and the construction of six new ATC centers. Duffy promised “fiber, wireless, and satellite technologies” to bring the system into the modern age within three to four years. He also confirmed the project would cost “billions,” and that he would seek full funding from Congress up front.

For now, though, America’s skies remain tethered to a fragile system, and it's one brief outage away from potential chaos.

The United States Department of State has issued a travel warning of its most severe and serious category this week, giving a warning to potential travelers as they plan their potential summer tourism.

The United States Department of State has a lengthy database of travel advisories, giving travelers information on various countries across the planet and providing necessary warnings. These travel advisories are divided into four categories.

A Level 1 travel advisory tells travelers to "Exercise Normal Precautions." This level of advisory is issued for many common tourist locations and is not to dissuade anyone from traveling, but reminds people to be careful even when there is no explicit threat.

A Level 2 travel advisory, meanwhile, warns travelers to "Exercise Increased Caution" in their travels. This advisory typically applies to locations where there is no explicit danger or threat, but crime is prevalent, there is civil unrest, or the country is often targeted with terrorist plots.

A Level 3 travel advisory is where it starts to get serious, warning travelers to "Reconsider Travel" to these destinations. This category of warning typically applies to countries that the State Department deems inherently dangerous for a number of reasons, such as heightened risks of crime, civil unrest, or terrorism.

A Level 4 travel advisory is the most severe, warning Americans to simply "Do Not Travel" to those locations. This category of warning usually applies to active armed conflicts or countries that are enemies of the United States or have little to no diplomatic relationship with the United States.

On Thursday May 8, the State Department reaffirmed one of those Level 4 travel advisories, reminding travelers not to travel to Russia "for any reason" due to the following issues:

• Danger associated with the continuing war between Russia and Ukraine.
• The risk of harassment or wrongful detention by Russian security officials.
• The arbitrary enforcement of local laws.
• The possibility of terrorism.

"The U.S. government has limited ability to help U.S. citizens in Russia, especially outside of Moscow. The U.S. Embassy in Moscow has reduced its staff and the Russian government has restricted travel for embassy personnel. All U.S. consulates in Russia have suspended operations, including consular services. Do not travel to Russia for any reason," the United States Department of State wrote in the advisory.

The advisory warns that Russia has been known to falsely imprison Americans "without credible evidence."

"Russian officials have questioned and threatened U.S. citizens without reason. Russian security services have arrested U.S. citizens on false charges. They have denied them fair treatment and convicted them without credible evidence. Russian authorities have opened questionable investigations against U.S. citizens for their religious activities," the advisory warned.

The advisory goes on to warn that dual citizenship between the United States and Russia is not protected in Russia, peaceful assembly and freedom of speech are not protected rights, all phones and electronic devices are monitored by the Russian government and information on your phone could lead to your arrest. Additionally, it is a crime to discuss LGBTQ topics in the country and it is considered a crime to support the human rights of LGB people in Russia.

Additionally, the advisory warns that Russia is at risk of terrorist attacks from extremist groups and also as a result of the ongoing armed conflict with Ukraine.

NBA legend Dwayne Wade opened up at the New York Times Well Festival about the health scare that changed everything, and why men need to stop playing tough when it comes to their well-being.

Wade, now 43, is in arguably the best shape of his post-NBA life. But not because he’s training for a game, because he’s finally taking full responsibility for his health. And it took a cancer diagnosis, family history, and a lot of soul-searching to get there.

Wade admitted that, during his playing days, he didn’t have to think much about health maintenance. “You had trainers, you had a whole team making sure you were ready,” he said. “When you have people doing things for you, you don't know what to do for yourself.”

But in retirement, there’s no team trainer waiting with ice and answers. When something hurts, he has to speak up. “Before, you go to the doctor and you just want to get out of there. You don’t ask questions,” he said. “Now I’m like, ‘But hold on, are you sure? What does this mean?’”

During his sit down conversation with journalist Marc Lacey, Wade talked about his cancer diagnosis, and how he didn’t go to the doctor expecting to hear the word “tumor.” He just had a low urine stream, a little stomach discomfort, and a creeping concern after his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His decision to start doing full-body MRIs turned out to be the proactive check that saved his life.

Wade explained that doctors, did an MRI with dye on his entire body and that’s how they found out he had a cancerous tumor in his kidney. “I didn’t go in for my kidney,” said Wade“I went in because I was 40 and wanted to live a long life.”

Wade pointed out a common cultural truth with a touch of humor: “We hear it all the time, guys can spend six hours on a golf course, and when they get home, their partner asks, ‘What did y’all talk about?’ And the answer is usually, ‘We don’t even know.’ Because we don’t ask questions.”

“I didn’t share it with my kids. I wouldn’t share it with my wife,” Wade admitted, reflecting on his cancer diagnosis. “I didn’t know what to do with the information. I was walking around the house trying to act like I had it all together, but I didn’t.”

That silence wasn’t unique to him. “In my family and in my community, we don’t share a lot of things about our health history,” he said. “I didn’t even know my granddad had prostate cancer until after my dad was diagnosed.”

After that experience, Wade wanted to bring men together in a safe place to be expressive. What started as silence turned into connection. Surrounded by other men who were opening up, and working on their mind, soul wellness, and physical wellness. “I was walking on clouds once I left there because I realized I was not alone,” he expressed.

Wade’s biggest takeaway from his health journey is simple but urgent: "Don’t wait." He wants men to take action, ask questions, and prioritize their well-being before it's too late. “Because by the time you find it, if you wait, it’s going to be too late,” he said.

Whether part of your everyday carry kit or a hobby-specific tool, carrying a good knife is essential. There’s no shortage of pocket knives trying to find their way into your collection, but sometimes you need a bigger blade for bigger tasks, and this tactical knife made with super tough Japanese steel fits the bill perfectly, especially while it's over half off.

The Cold Steel Rajah II Japanese Tactical Folding Knife is just $81 right now, a far cry from its normal $185 price tag. It's a serious discount on a beautiful knife, one with nearly 800 five-star ratings and reviews that call it “amazingly functional,” “very comfortable” to use, and “heavy duty.” With a 6-inch blade and 8-inch handle, we hesitate to call it a pocket knife (unless you’re wearing JNCO jeans), but it does serve as a more than reliable option for outdoor pursuits.

Cold Steel Rajah II Japanese Tactical Folding Knife, $81 (was $185) at Amazon

The manufacturer calls this a “tactical knife,” a somewhat nebulous term that seems to describe knives with grippy synthetic handles, non-reflective blades, and a military aesthetic. The AUS10A steel, produced in the Japanese city of Tokai, is annealed (heated to remove internal stresses) high-carbon steel enhanced with chromium, nickel, manganese, and silicon, making it both sharp and durable. It’s modeled after a kukri blade and works well as a multi-purpose tool.

“This pocket kukri is my first and my new favorite out of all of my pocket knives,” wrote one reviewer. “The blade work and quality are amazing…the blade’s thickness is very well balanced and the blade’s hardness is amazing as well.” They were also a big fan of the stonewash method used on the blade that “makes the blade shimmer” and the “very strong” locking mechanism.

Another reviewer called this knife, memorably, a “masterpiece of badassery.” It earned the moniker because it’s “strong and has some heft to it, but in a balanced and thoughtful way.” This “pocket sword,” another memorable descriptor, “has a lot going on and is basically impossible to regret buying.”

The Cold Steel Rajah II is a lot of knife, but with this deal, it’s not a lot of money. Go ahead and upgrade to this hefty Japanese steel today before it inevitably goes back up in price.

It's been more than a decade since Keanu Reeves made his first on-screen appearance as iconic hitman John Wick, and what originally began as an independent indie-action movie quickly snowballed into a multi-billion-dollar franchise which includes three sequels ( with a fourth in the works), a prequel series, and several upcoming spinoffs.

Fast forward to 2025 and fans have yet another John Wick film to look forward to, although this one comes in the form of a documentary titled Wick is Pain, where viewers will get an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the immense amount of work that went into creating the legendary hitman's story.

Wick is Pain gives viewers a chance to re-experience the excitement of each of the John Wick movies but with added bonuses, never-before-seen footage from the set and interviews with the cast and crew involved with creating the John Wick universe.

"I'm excited to share and be a part of taking fans behind the curtain on the extraordinary journey of making the John Wick films," Reeves said of the documentary, according to MSN.

The documentary also highlights the personal struggles that Reeves and director/producer Chad Stahelski faced while filming the first movie, including Stahelski's separation from his then-wife (stunt coordinator Heidi Moneymaker), and injuries Reeves suffered while shooting some of his most memorable scenes. Between issues with other producers and a desperate attempt to acquire $6 million in less than 36 hours before their deadline, the movie almost didn't happen.

“There’s really not a job we've ever been on that hasn't had some kind of confrontational element, but that doesn't make it bad,” Stahelski said, according to MSN. “And that's the whole thing with ‘Wick Is Pain’: It's the pain we choose. Like, yeah, it's going to be tough, but the tough is what makes it great.”

Wick is Pain will be released by Lionsgate and available to purchase May 9 on Apple TV, Amazon and other on-demand platforms.

Alice in Chains band members were forced to cancel their first live show in over a year after their drummer fell ill.

In a post on the band’s Instagram account on May 8, it was announced that the show scheduled at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, was abruptly canceled after drummer Sean Kinney suffered from an unspecified medical situation.

“After our soundcheck this evening at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Sean experienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency. We unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” the band told fans in the message, which was also posted on the band's X account a little more than an hour before the concert was scheduled to start.

There has been no update on Kinney’s ailment, but the band is still scheduled to play a show in Camden, NJ, on May 10, per the Alice in Chains website. The group has dates scheduled through May and one date in July.

Akice in Chains’ last live show took place in April 2024 when they appeared at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas.

Kinney and singer Layne Staley, guitarist Jerry Cantrell, and bassist Mike Starr co-founded Alice in Chains in 1987. The band was part of the early ‘90s Seattle grunge movement and became famous for their MTV heavy rotation hit “Man in the Box.” Staley and Starr both died of drug overdoses in 2002 and 2011, respectively.

The band’s current lineup features Kinney, Cantrell, vocalist William DuVall, and bassist Mike Inez.

Outside of the titular Jack Reacher himself, who is the best character from all the Reacher books, movies, and all three seasons of the TV show? Recently, the official Jack Reacher social media account from author Lee Child posed a simple question to hardcore Reacher fans. And the answers were surprising.

Over on X, the official Jack Reacher Books account tweeted the following question: "Apart from #REACHER... who's your favourite character from the Reacher series?" And the responses from different fans were both somewhat predictable and yet also contained some wild cards.

Apart from #REACHER... who's your favourite character from the Reacher series? pic.twitter.com/6PeuTgFvZl

— Jack Reacher Books (@LeeChildReacher) May 9, 2025

Many users noted that TV series fan favorite Frances Neagley was "the only right answer." This makes sense since Maria Sten's portrayal of the character in the series has been a big deal with fans, so much so that she's about to get her own series, just titled Neagley, coming sometime in 2026.

But, among the responses, another favorite emerged: Roscoe Conklin, a cop from Georgia, and Reacher's love interest in the first novel, Killing Floor. Played by Willa Fitzgerald in Reacher Season 1 in 2022, it's easy to see why Roscoe has remained such a popular character with fans of the books and the show. She's cool and collected, but combined with Reacher, the two make a kind of aspirational adventure story couple. One fan also wrote "Roscoe and Susan- smart and sassy," in reference to Susan Duffy.

Duffy appeared in the just-completed Reacher Season 3 and was played by Sonya Cassidy, who told Men's Journal that the strong women of the books and the show are part of what makes the series so popular. "There's no shrinking violets, there's no damsels in distress," Cassidy said. "I think the female energy alongside Reacher enriches the show."

Because the three seasons of Reacher have only adapted three of the 31 books, there are obviously a ton of other great supporting characters in the series. And so, when Reacher Season 4 arrives, and then, when Neagley arrives, this question will only get more interesting.

Reacher Seasons 1-3 stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Family Dollar has been dealing with some hard times, but they are making moves to help boost their model going forward.

In 2015, Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar for $9 billion. "The Dollar Tree leadership team and Board of Directors determined that a sale of Family Dollar to Brigade and Macellum best unlocks value for Dollar Tree shareholders and positions Family Dollar for future success," the company said in a statement at the time.

But, in 2025, Dollar Tree sold off Family Dollar for $1 billion after dealing with operational issues, competition from big discount retailers and increasing costs. So, as leases for various Family Dollar stores expire, Family Dollar will be closing roughly 1,000 store locations.

But, it's not all bad news. Family Dollar has announced that moving forward, it will team up with Uber Eats to offer delivery from around 5,000 store locations across the United States.

"By partnering with Uber Eats, it’s now even easier to access essentials from the comfort of home," Family Dollar CMO Bonita Price said in a statement regarding the partnership. "Expanded access at an incredible value goes a long way in helping our customers save time and do more, especially in underserved communities."

Also, in honor of the launch, Uber Eats is offering 40% off of orders $30 or more from Family Dollar with promo code FAMILY40 for a limited time.

Using Uber Eats, customers will be able to order a variety of products from Family Dollar, and Family Dollar hopes this will make its products easier to access for customers that need low-cost goods in a convenient way. To try ordering from Family Dollar using Uber Eats, simply open the Uber Eats app by tapping the "retail" or "convenience" section, searching for Family Dollar and adding items to your cart. Then, select a delivery time, check out and track it.

If you’re looking for a new pair of running shoes and want to get a good deal, one of the most under-the-radar places to check is Champs. The retailer has a huge collection of runners from Nike, Asics, New Balance, and others for upward of half off, but that's nothing compared to this deal on an airy pair of Adidas running shoes that are nearly 60% off and ready to defy gravity.

These comfortable, lightweight shoes have amassed nearly 520 five-star ratings from runners and walkers who say “they have wonderful cushioning similar to those of On Cloud or Hoka.” They come in sizes 8 to 13 in black and white and in gray, with the latter being the more affordable option.

Adidas Switch FWD Running Shoes, $60 (was $130) at Champs

A futuristic-looking runner, the maximally-cushioned Switch FWD works wonders for heavy-footed steppers as they absorb ground impact strikes. The unique cut-out design in the midsole compresses more easily under pressure, so as you run, it springs you forward with a nice response. Despite the high-stack cushion, these shoes remain relatively lightweight and breathable with their mesh upper. The 3D molded heel keeps your foot locked in, preventing slipping and blisters, while the stability plate throughout adds a more solid base.

“Lightweight and bouncy—like walking on clouds,” exclaimed a shopper. “These shoes are remarkably bouncy, offering a comfortable feel right out of the box.”

Before Kansas City Chiefs superstar boyfriend Travis Kelce began dating pop sensation Taylor Swift, he was with media personality Kayla Nicole. But it sounds like she is tired of being known as Kelce's ex-girlfriend.

During an appearance on the Second Wind podcast this week, Nicole opened up a little bit about all the conversation about her previous relationship with Kelce.

“People will always say, ‘Get over it,’ which is so interesting. And to them I'd say, ‘You too,’” she said.

Kelce and Nicole dated on and off for about five years before ultimately breaking up in 2022. Since Kelce began dating Swift, Nicole has received a lot more attention from fans and media, facing newfound scrutiny.

Nicole took advantage of this added attention and helped grow her career, which she understands upset some people.

"Life handed me lemons and I made a lemon martini out of it and that upsets people,” she continued. "My authenticity, my transparency, my story—sharing my story—that really is my superpower.”

That doesn't mean that it's always been easy.

Nicole admitted that given that she is "new to the landscape of being a public figure," she "could have used a little PR training and learning how to navigate the space with the media."

"I was going into interviews thinking a little naively like, 'Oh, they just want to hear my story,'" she explained. "You sit down and you do an hour-long interview with someone and the headline is maybe a one sentence that you said of, 'Yeah, I was heartbroken and devastated because I went through a breakup and that's the headline.'"

Nicole went on to say that she hopes one day that she has an identity beyond being Kelce's ex-girlfriend.

"It's like, 'Damn, girl, did you listen to anything?' " She continued. "I am human and I take it with a grain of salt now. One day they're going to have to stop calling me someone’s ex."

On Thursday afternoon, Chicago native Robert Prevost was elected as the next Pope, becoming the first Pope from the United States as he takes on the name Pope Leo XIV. Shortly after his election, the world learned of his Chicago White Sox fandom. And based on a photo that is now going viral, it looks like he is a pretty big fan.

Shortly after Leo XIV's election, there was some debate about his Major League Baseball fan affiliation as some claimed that the Chicago-native and Villanova grad was a fan of the Chicago Cubs. However, his brother quickly set the record straight and confirmed that he was actually a White Sox fan.

"Whoever said Cubs on the radio got it wrong. It's Sox," his brother, John Prevost, told NBC Chicago.

This prompted a statement from the White Sox on the matter as the team shared that it is already sending him a custom jersey to the Vatican and made it clear that he is "always welcome at his ballpark."

"Family always knows best, and it sounds like Pope Leo XIV’s lifelong fandom falls a little closer to 35th and Shields," the team said in a statement. "Some things are bigger than baseball, but in this case, we’re glad to have a White Sox fan represented at the Vatican. A pinstripe White Sox jersey with his name on it and a hat is already on the way to Rome, and of course, the Pontiff always is welcome at his ballpark."

Based on a photo that is now going viral on social media, it looks like Leo XIV is no stranger to "his ballpark."

A photo shared by the Chicago Sun-Times shows Pope Leo XIV attending the 2005 World Series, where the White Sox defeated the Houston Astros in four games to win the championship.

"Peak American Culture!" someone else added.

"He's one of us," another user commented.

"50% chance I was at the same World Series game as the Pope…" someone else said.

"This is wild," another user added.

Clearly, Pope Leo XIV is a loyal fan.

On Thursday afternoon, Chicago native Robert Prevost was elected as the next Pope, taking on the title of Pope Leo XIV and becoming the first Pope from the United States. Now, after some debate, it sounds like we have confirmation of the new Pope's favorite sports team.

In the hours after the announcement of Pope Leo XIV's election, there was a lot of speculation in the media that the Chicago-native and Villanova grad was a fan of the Chicago Cubs. However, it sounds like his Major League Baseball loyalties actually lie with the team on the south side of the city.

During an interview with NBC Chicago's Christian Farr, Pope Leo XIV's brother, John Prevost, set the record straight as he refuted any previous reports that his brother rooted for the Cubs.

"Whoever said Cubs on the radio got it wrong. It's Sox," Prevost told NBC Chicago.

NBC News was also able to confirm from a Vatican spokesperson that the Pope roots for the White Sox.

Needless to say, it sounds like the White Sox were delighted to hear this as they reacted to the news with a statement.

"Family always knows best, and it sounds like Pope Leo XIV’s lifelong fandom falls a little closer to 35th and Shields," the team said in a statement. "Some things are bigger than baseball, but in this case, we’re glad to have a White Sox fan represented at the Vatican. A pinstripe White Sox jersey with his name on it and a hat is already on the way to Rome, and of course, the Pontiff always is welcome at his ballpark."

This comes after the Cubs issued a statement on social media claiming that the new Pope was a Cubs fan. The club even invited him to Wrigley Field to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV! pic.twitter.com/s02yDDegQd

— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) May 8, 2025

“Not only would we welcome Pope Leo XIV to Wrigley Field, he could sing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' or, since three of his predecessors visited Yankee Stadium, including Pope Paul VI who delivered the 1965 'Sermon on the Mound,' we would invite the Pontiff to do the same at the Friendly Confines," Chairman Tom Ricketts said in a statement.

Clearly, the earlier statements were incorrect.

Tom Brady was at the center of some serious litigation for his role in promoting the FTX crypto-trading platform, which infamously collapsed back in 2022, landing CEO and founder Sam Bankman-Fried in prison for fraud. But it sounds like Brady will avoid any legal repercussions.

Though Brady helped promote the crypto-trading platform as a paid spokesperson, a Florida federal judge has dismissed most of the claims against Brady and the other high-profile celebrities and YouTubers who promoted FTX.

According to CNBC, U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore determined that the plaintiffs “fail to adequately plead causation” and “fail to plausibly allege Defendants’ knowledge of FTX’s fraud.”

While the judge conceded that Brady and the other celebrities might have been “uninformed, negligent, or even reckless,” the plaintiffs did not show they “had any knowledge of FTX’s fraud” or “had the requisite intent to deceive or defraud investors.”

The judge also cleared Brady and the defendants of related civil conspiracy claims, writing that “defendants cannot be found liable for civil conspiracy for merely receiving payments and other monetary benefits in exchange for their promotional content.”

In addition to clearing Brady, the Moore dismissed nearly all of the claims against the “Celebrity Defendants,” which included Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bundchen as well as Kevin O’Leary, Stephen Curry, Shohei Ohtani, Larry David, the Golden State Warriors, Udonis Haslem, David Ortiz, and Naomi Osaka.

The film is an ambitious adaptation of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. The classic story of Greek mythology follows a man named Odysseus and his 10-year journey home from the Trojan War.

Nolan, best known for critically acclaimed films such as Interstellar (2014), Inception (2010), and the Dark Knight trilogy, has never before directed a film categorized as fantasy.

Known for limiting his use of CGI, Nolan is aiming to capture the upcoming epic with more practical effects. A creative choice that demands on-location filming in places that may not be the easiest to access or work in.

Stunt performer James Newman, responsible for training both Damon and Holland for the film, gave insight into Nolan's commitment, and the lengths he was willing to go.

In a now-deleted episode of the Action for Everyone podcast, he shared, "They found locations and Nolan would go like, 'Okay, this cave, has anyone ever filmed here before?' And the local guy is like 'No'. (Nolan) is like 'Okay, great we're going to film here.' This like untouched place. He wants to be the first person there to do it, he wants to feel like no one ever touched ground here ..."

Describing the physical demands of the shoot, he adds, "And every location is a hike. There's a castle, I think it's Odysseus's home, but it's up on a hill and it's like a two kilometer hike to get up there."

Nolan has earned two Academy Awards over the years, both for his latest film, Oppenheimer (2023), earning seven, including best director.

Though he has not said anything publicly about the new movie, he did share some of his philosophy in a 2023 interview with Empire,"You're trying to add something to the body of work of movies, generally."

Anticipation builds for the film's release, as fans eagerly await Nolan's signature take on the Greek classic.

Actor Nathaniel "Nate" Pelletier, who recently played the recurring role of a taxi driver on the Hallmark Channel series When Calls The Heart, passed away suddenly at the age of just 53 years old, and one of his co-stars took to social media to grieve the loss of his beloved friend and colleague.

According to an online obituary, Pelletier passed away "suddenly" while alone at his home in Langley, B.C., Canada.

"He was only with us 53 short years but he touched many lives with his generosity and extraordinary work ethic," the obituary reads. "He was always there to lend a helping hand when needed and most times, before it was asked of him. He was charismatic and loved to meet new people, greeting them with his big smile and a warm hearty hand shake."

"Nathaniel's greatest love was his daughter Myhrsades (Murray) Jones of whom he was so proud," the obituary continued. "He loved to gift her with concert tickets to experience her favourite band or book travel tickets somewhere special. He was very proud of his world traveller."

Following his passing, his co-star Martin Cummins, who plays Henry Gowen on When Calls the Heart, shared a touching tribute on social media where he detailed his close friendship with Pelletier.

"I just came back from a ride on the bike Gord and Nate put together for the girls and I," Cummins wrote in the caption of a post on Instagram. "I’m taking shade in Mexico under the awning Nate helped me figure out in the woods near the old cabin. I have spent more hours at work sitting in the blue room, in silence or in conversation with Gord and Nate than I have standing on tape with the camera rolling.

"Gord has always felt like a father figure to me, and Nate and I were his boys running around the town, hanging out in the woods and talking [expletive]. Life is constantly changing. Things are never the same. The Valley will not be the same without Nathaniel Pelletier. He was a gentle soul and it was my honor to call him friend."

Pelletier is survived by his daughter, Myhrsades, who was described in his obituary as his "greatest love."

Pop-Tarts is no stranger to reinventing itself, but its latest move might just be its coolest yet—literally. The iconic toaster pastry brand is heading into the freezer aisle with an all-new lineup of ice cream sandwiches and pints, just in time for summer.

Announced by parent company Kellanova on May 8, the new frozen treats promise to blend “indulgent ice cream with flavor swirls and pastry-style pieces.” Translation: everything you love about Pop-Tarts, but now in frozen form.

The ice cream sandwiches will come in three fan-favorite flavors: Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Frosted Strawberry, and Frosted Chocolate Fudge. The pints are rolling out in Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Frosted Strawberry, and Frosted S’mores. Each sandwich features creamy ice cream layered between two actual Pop-Tarts, making this the ultimate mashup of breakfast and dessert.

“Pop-Tarts is a brand built on delicious flavors and playful spirit—and this frozen debut captures that energy perfectly,” said Frances Alvarez, SVP of brand management at Beanstalk, which partnered with Kellanova to develop the products, according to USA Today.

Pop-Tarts fans have been DIY-ing ice cream sandwiches for years, but now there’s a legit, ready-made version heading to freezers. Walmart will debut the ice cream sandwiches this May, with pints arriving at select retailers later in the summer.

Pop-Tarts has been teasing bold new flavors and formats since the 1960s, but this latest twist feels like a natural next step. Judging by the early buzz on social media, Pop-Tarts may have just won the summer snack wars before Memorial Day even hits. Of course, considering how many fans commented asking for cookie dough flavor, perhaps there's the possibility of an additional flavor coming later.

So, if you’ve ever sandwiched a scoop of ice cream between two Pop-Tarts and thought, “This should be a thing,” congratulations...it finally is.
