The Pussycat Dolls are officially reuniting and getting ready to drop new music and hit the road for a massive global tour.

The lineup this time features Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt, and they’ve already kicked things off with a brand new track called “Club Song”. It’s the first taste of new material from the group in years and a reminder of the pop-dance energy that made them one of the biggest girl groups of the 2000s.

If you grew up blasting “Don’t Cha” or “Buttons,” you already know the vibe.

The reunion tour will start in North America before heading overseas to Europe and the UK, and Hudson Valley fans will have a big opportunity to see them live. The group is scheduled to perform July 20 at Madison Square Garden, bringing their signature choreography and pop hits back to one of the most iconic stages in the world.

The tour will also feature some major guests when it hits North America, including Mya and Lil’ Kim, which should make the show feel like a full-on throwback party.

A few familiar faces won’t be part of the reunion this time around. Former members Melody Thornton, Jessica Sutta, and Carmit Bachar are not expected to participate in the tour.

The Pussycat Dolls first exploded onto the global pop scene in 2005 with their debut album “PCD,” which turned into a massive hit and launched a run of chart-topping singles before the group went on hiatus in 2010.

Along with the tour, fans will also get expanded reissues of “PCD” and “Doll Domination,” featuring previously unreleased tracks from the vault.

If you want first crack at tickets, fans can sign up for early access before they go on sale.

For Hudson Valley pop fans, this one might be worth the road trip down to the Garden.

Because let’s be honest… hearing “Don’t Cha” live again with thousands of fans might be the ultimate 2000s throwback moment.

For a while, experts thought GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro would crush the candy business.  Smaller appetites mean fewer snacks . . .  which leads to sadder chocolate factories.

Turns out, not so much.

The gourmet Swiss chocolate company Lindt looked at new data and found premium chocolate sales jumped nearly 17% among GLP-1 users last year.  So, what's going on?

Instead of mindlessly munching on chips or pizza, the CEO of Lindt said, "They are upgrading to premium products."

So apparently the new diet plan is simple.  Make your chocolate count. 

A study ranked more than 180 of America's biggest cities by HAPPINESS . . . using factors like:  Life satisfaction scores, depression rates, physical and emotional health, income growth, employment, job satisfaction, and weather.

The 10 happiest cities are:  Fremont, California . . . Bismarck, North Dakota . . . Scottsdale, Arizona . . . South Burlington, Vermont . . . Fargo, North Dakota . . . Overland Park, Kansas . . . Charleston, South Carolina . . . Irvine, California . . . Gilbert, Arizona . . . and San Jose, California

And the 10 at the bottom of the list are:  Detroit, which ranked last at 182nd . . . Memphis . . . Shreveport, Louisiana . . . Cleveland . . . Huntington, West Virginia . . . Toledo, Ohio . . . Augusta, Georgia . . . Fort Smith, Arkansas . . . Dover, Delaware . . . and Akron, Ohio.  (

Here's how William Hanson, the etiquette expert, explained it, "First of all, add your milk of choice and then, with a spoon held in your dominant hand and the fork in your non-dominant hand, you will eat." William then uses the fork to gently push cereal onto the spoon, so flakes don't splash or escape the bowl.

Now truthfully I say it depends on the cereal...let me explain. Cookie Crisp for example, you can eat that right out of the box as a snack and with no milk (but that's just me). In fact couldn't you do that with just about every cereal??

This might be the very definition of rage-bait. Either way I think I'll stick with the way I've always eaten cereal -- WITH A SPOON!

The move will give them more than 200 million direct-to-consumer subscribers. Paramount CEO David Ellison says, quote, "We think the combined offering, given the amount of content and what we can do from the tech side, really will put us in a position to be able to compete with the most scaled players in DTC." He also claims that HBO will continue to, quote, "operate with independence."

The question on  everyone's mind will be - "How much MORE will we have to pay a month for THIS streaming service now??" With the constant evolution of streaming and options available, it's begs the other question of - is it cheaper to go back to regular cable?

VPN's have become increasingly popular recently with the streaming price hikes so it's a wait and see.

According to a report, the average woman spends $1,639 per year on their "wellness." 

That includes everything from doctor's visits and prescriptions . . . to undergarments, intimacy items, hygiene products, vitamins, and skincare and beauty products.  All very important to wellness . . . physical and mental.

More than half of women say they struggle to afford their wellness needs. And nearly three out of four say they're concerned about the costs of prescriptions and doctor's visits . . . and have seen price increases in wellness products in stores.

Even with all of the investment into their health, the average woman currently feels 72% healthy. 

A new study looked at how well plants clean air indoors.  And the answer is . . . they basically don't make a difference.

To match what a half-decent ventilation system does, you'd need at least one plant for EVERY square foot of space.  So, if your place is 1,000 square feet . . . you need 1,000 plants before it would do much.  That's on the low end.  You might need even more plants than that.

Don't start ripping them out of their pots quite yet though.  The study also found that having plants DOES help us in other ways.

Even if they don't clean the air, they still make us feel more comfortable and less stressed.  Basically, we're wired to feel better when a space feels "natural."

Once summer hits, they can also make you COOLER.  They pointed to several studies where people thought the temperature in a room was cooler than it really was, just because there were plants around. 

Here they are:

1.  "I Love Lucy"  (1951-1957)

Personally, my all time favorite show happens to be CHEERS. I think I have seen every episode at least 100 times at a minimum - and that's no exaggeration! So why not turn up the volume, sing-along and go to a place where everybody knows your name....

In order to be eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an artist or band must have released its first commercial recording 25 years prior to the nomination year to be eligible. Collins, Shakira, Wu-Tang, Hill, P!NK, Buckley, Vandross, INXS, Etheridge, and New Edition are new nominees. Collins was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 with Genesis.

The Class of 2026 will be named in late April and inducted in the fall. An international jury of over 1,200 musicians, historians, and music business professionals will choose the inductees, together with a fan vote on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website.

McDonald's has unveiled their new "Big Arch Burger," which will be arriving throughout the U.S. next Tuesday . . . but only for a limited time.

They say this is their "biggest and boldest burger yet." It features two quarter-pound beef patties . . . three slices of white cheddar cheese . . . crispy onions . . . slivered raw onions . . . lettuce . . . and pickles. 

It comes with "Big Arch Sauce," which is "a perfect balance of mustard, pickle, and sweet tomato flavors."  As well as a toasted sesame and poppy seed-coated bun.  And the burger is "big" in more ways than one . . .

The Big Arch weighs in at 1,057 calories, which is more than three times the calorie count of a McDonald's cheeseburger at 303 calories, and about double the count of a Big Mac at 509 calories.  There's no price info, but one estimate suggests it'll run you around $12 or $15 for a meal.

If you don’t follow hockey, stay with me.

You don’t need to understand icing, power plays, or line changes to appreciate what just happened. Team USA beat Canada 2-1 to win Olympic gold in men’s hockey — the first time since 1980. And that matters far beyond the rink.

This is huge because Canada is the gold standard in hockey. It’s their sport the way baseball is ours. Beating them on the biggest stage in the world isn’t just a win — it’s a statement.

The game itself was tight, tense, and dramatic. One goal here, one goal there. And when Canada pushed late, U.S. goalie Connor Hellebuyck stood tall, making the kind of clutch saves that define careers and championships.

But even bigger than the final score is what this represents.

This wasn’t a fluke. This wasn’t a miracle. This was a team made up of NHL stars who grew up in a system that’s been quietly building for decades. Development programs like USA Hockey's National Team Development Program have turned the U.S. into a true hockey powerhouse.

And moments like this ripple beyond sports fans.

It’s pride. It’s rivalry. It’s the kind of collective moment where even casual viewers find themselves yelling at the TV in the final minutes.

You may not follow hockey all season. You may not know the standings or the stats.

But when the red, white, and blue take down a giant and bring home gold?

That’s something everybody can celebrate.

Both fighters, now retired, are doing this as an exhibition and one can only imagine the PAYDAY involved to get 2 of the biggest boxers of all time in the same ring. It's the dream match of a lifetime. It's Rocky vs. Apollo.

Their styles would have made such a hypothetical even more intriguing, as Tyson is known as one of the greatest heavyweights who could knock anyone out with a single punch while Mayweather is a defensive technician who was nearly impossible to square up at his peak.

It would have been appointment viewing for even the most casual of fans. And if you've ever seen any one of their fights or promos leading up to a fight then you know this is going to get real interesting and be a lot of fun. The theatrics and pomp and circumstance are sure to be next level for this match. If Tyson walks out to DMX's "Intro" then it's going to be on!!!

Someone alert DON KING!!

According to a recent report, 82% of people say they "enjoy cooking."  And 55% feel like cooking is a positive thing for their well-being.

The average person cooks about FIVE times per week, and it's not always GOURMET.  Only about 33% say they feel "confident" in their cooking ability. 8% worry about being judged when cooking for guests.  And 12% of us think our friends are better cooks than we are.

Only 25% of people want to try new foods more often, while 40% of us enjoy eating foods that are nostalgic, or tied to their childhoods. About 20% admit they just cycle through the same 10 or fewer dinner meals.  And 40% say they eat the same or a similar breakfast every day.

So are we busy . . . lazy . . . or uninspired?  Well, a few of us are still picky.  18% say they were "picky" as kids, and 13% admit they're picky NOW.

According to a new report, the average couple often has a "bedtime gap" of 80 minutes, which is an hour and 20 minutes . . . or roughly two episodes of "Shark Tank".  (???)

That extra "me-time" might be nice for unwinding . . . but the report found that couples with fewer bedtime gaps tend to be happier together.  And "very happy" couples go to bed together about four times per week.  (Compared to once a week for less-than-happy couples.)

71% of couples who are BOTH night owls . . . and 78% of couples who are BOTH early birds . . . say they're "very happy" in their relationship. That's compared to 59% of couples with one night owl and one early bird.

There was a difference based on age, though.  Younger couples find it more important to lessen the bedtime gap, while it matters less to older folks.

TMZ reported the news on February 11, 2026, citing confirmation from the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office. A cause of death has not yet been released. The actor had publicly revealed in late 2024 that he was battling stage 3 colorectal cancer.

Van Der Beek tried to do some good to help others who were facing similar battles just weeks after revealing his diagnosis ... starring in a two-hour special of "The Real Full Monty" in December 2024 to raise awareness for prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer testing and research.

He was supposed to join his fellow "Dawson's Creek" castmates in September, but he was forced to drop out of the reunion for health reasons. He ended up making a surprise virtual appearance.

He later gained recognition for his roles in "Scary Movie," "Varsity Blues," and "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23." He also regularly grabbed recurring roles on many of the most popular shows of the last two decades ... like "How I Met Your Mother," "One Tree Hill," and "Pose."

Scientists have developed "smart underwear" . . . or a wearable sensor that can clip onto your underwear, and monitor gut bacteria activity . . . by "measuring the hydrogen gas in your flatulence."

And it can even do this on-the-go!  A battery charge can last up to a week.

Researchers say the device detects dietary changes with 95% accuracy, and it has revealed that the average person passes gas 32 times daily . . . far more than the 10 to 20 times people typically self-report.

There's a lot of variance, though.  In their studies, on any given day, a person might fart as little as four times, while others can pass gas up to 60 TIMES in one da

They looked at 35 different chains, and actually had people go pull prices directly off the shelves.  They used what you'd pay if you had a loyalty card with discounts.

And after all that work, they found that the cheapest place in America to get groceries is . . . yep, Costco.

They compared prices for all the stores to how much you'd pay at Walmart, the largest grocery chain in the U.S. You'll pay an average of 21.4% less at Costco.  Then BJ's Wholesale is a close second.

The five cheapest stores are:  Costco, 21.4% less than Walmart . . . BJ's Wholesale, 21% . . . Lidl, 9% . . . Aldi, 8% . . . and WinCo, 3% less.

The priciest major supermarket is Whole Foods.  Stuff there costs an average of 40% MORE than Walmart prices. (The rest of the bottom five are Shaw's, El Rancho, Jewel-Osco, and Mariano's.)

It's got 20 tips.  Here are the highlights.  What would YOU add?

1.  Hold the door if someone is right behind you.

2.  Let people exit an elevator before you enter.  Same goes for buses and trains.

3.  Don't play loud music on public transportation.

4.  Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.

5.  If the service was good, leave a decent tip.

6.  If someone shows you a picture on their phone, don't start swiping.

7.  Return borrowed stuff in the same condition, or better.

8.  Don't abandon your shopping cart in the middle of an aisle.

9.  Don't comment on someone's food choices unless they ask.

10.  If you're having a conversation, put your phone away.

If your mom made lemonade or orange juice in the '80s, '90s, or earlier, it's probably what she used.  Open a can . . . plop it in a pitcher . . . mix it up . . . drink.

They were meant for soldiers in World War Two, until the war ended.  The first cans of "frozen concentrated" OJ hit stores 80 years ago in 1946.

Coca-Cola owns Minute Maid now and blamed "shifting consumer preferences."  The cans just aren't as popular as they used to be, and they've got lots of competition from generic versions too.

So, rest in peace, Minute Maid cans.  You were cheap and . . . pretty good?

His annual prediction was translated by his handlers at Gobbler’s Knob in western Pennsylvania.

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club says that when Phil is deemed to have not seen his shadow, that means there will be an early spring. When he does see it, it’s six more weeks of winter.

Phil tends to predict a longer winter far more often than an early spring.

⁠Nearly 40 years after 'Dirty Dancing' hit theaters, Lionsgate confirms a sequel is set to begin filming this year — and yes, Jennifer Grey will reprise her iconic role as Frances "Baby" Houseman.⁠

⁠"The role of Baby has held a very deep and meaningful place in my heart, as it has in the hearts of so many fans over the years," she says. "I've long wondered where we might find Baby years later and what her life might be like, but it's taken time to assemble the kind of people that I felt could be entrusted to build on the legacy of the original film… and I'm excited to say that It looks like the wait will soon be over!"⁠

⁠Grey will also executive produce the movie, which will be scripted by 'Only Murders in the Building' and 'Dying for Sex' writer Kim Rosenstock. The studio announced Tuesday that producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson will oversee the feature project that is aiming to begin production later this year.⁠

⁠Of course, news of the sequel is bittersweet as Patrick Swayze passed in 2009 — but we're sure this 'Dirty Dancing' will find a way to pay tribute to Johnny Castle.⁠

⁠Jennifer Grey was previously announced to executive produce and reprise her role of Frances “Baby” Houseman that originated in director Emile Ardolino’s 1987 original movie that also starred the late Patrick Swayze. A director has not been announced, as Jonathan Levine, who was previously attached to helm the sequel, is still set to serve as executive producer but will not direct.

The real question(s) are:

How will they pay tribute to Patrick Swayze?

Will Grey's character have married Swayze's character in the timeline of the movie?

What will be the timeline of the new movie? When will it take place?

Will we all have the time of our lives at Kellerman's?

Of course, that title pays homage to those "Abbott & Costello Meet..." monster movies.

Kenan and Kel made the announcement on last night's episode of Prime Video's "Good Sports".  They'll play delivery drivers who, quote, "arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle and accidentally awaken Frankenstein's monster." There's no word when it'll come out, but production is supposed to start this summer.

Kenan says, quote, "This project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected. We're excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it."
