Sabrina Carpenter will star in an untitled new musical inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Universal Pictures will release the musical, with Carpenter serving as both lead and producer. The 26-year-old’s first major studio feature was announced shortly after her album Man’s Best Friend earned six Grammy nominations. Although Carpenter is most recently known for her music career, she also has acting experience, including her breakthrough role on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World and later appearances in films such as The Hate U Give and Tall Girl. According to sources, Carpenter approached Universal with the idea for the upcoming project in 2024, and it evolved when Lorene Scafaria, who worked on HBO’s Succession, came on as writer and director. In 2020, Netflix acquired the original feature pitch ALICE, which was also set to star Carpenter and have her produce under her At Last Productions banner, but the project fell through due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last Alice in Wonderland film, Alice Through the Looking Glass, was released in 2016 as a sequel to the Tim Burton–directed Alice in Wonderland, which grossed $1 billion worldwide. Both films starred Mia Wasikowska as Alice. The Golden Girls is returning to fans’ screens with a 40-year anniversary special on ABC. The Golden Girls: 40 Years of Laughter and Friendship will celebrate the legacy of the iconic sitcom and air on Tuesday evening. The original show aired on NBC from 1985 to 1992. The hour-long special will feature behind-the-scenes clips, cast interviews, and reactions from celebrity fans. Susan Harris, the show’s writer and producer, revealed in the special how she broke barriers by centering the sitcom around the lives of older women, played by Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty. The special highlights how the series explored topics such as aging, friendship, and female empowerment; all while keeping the audience laughing with its quick-witted writing. The series’ seven seasons are now available on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, and have been streamed over 1 billion hours globally. The special is set to air on Hulu and Disney+ the day after the premiere. Scouted selects products independently. If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission. If you’re looking for a way to level up cuffing season this fall, consider your search over. Womanizer’s new Next Duo is here to heat things up—whether you’re flying solo or spending the season with your S.O. The dual stimulator features the brand’s next-gen 3D Pleasure Air technology combined with deep G-spot vibrations, all engineered to deliver blended orgasms (that’s clitoral and vaginal stimulation happening at the same time). “Blended orgasms are unique because they activate different nerve pathways simultaneously,” explains Elisabeth Neumann, Sexologist and Head of User Research at Womanizer. “The outer clitoris and the vagina send signals through partly separate pleasure routes to the brain. This parallel activation leads to overlapping but distinct patterns of arousal. Many people describe the resulting sensations as deeper, longer-lasting, and more full-body than those from single-point stimulation.” Womanizer Next Duo Dual Stimulator Womanizer is calling the Next Duo its most innovative product yet—and testers agree. In trials, 97 percent of participants said they were more likely to reach a blended orgasm with the Next Duo than with any other toy. Even better, 91 percent reported feeling happier, more relaxed, and less stressed afterward. Considering that some studies show orgasms release endorphins and lower cortisol, think of this as your new go-to for pleasure and stress relief. After all, fall and winter are the perfect time to invest in your sexual wellness routine—and the Next Duo might just become the highlight of cuffing season. Reports reveal that Wendy Williams, 61, does not have the condition that has led to her controversial guardianship. According to TMZ, a neurologist concluded that Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia, the condition she was first diagnosed with in 2023, which led to the former talk show host being placed into a conservatorship. Phoning in to speak on Good Day New York in March, Williams said she completed tests with independent doctors and “passed with flying colors.” Earlier this year, she also filed a $250 million lawsuit alongside her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, who said Williams’ guardianship “has become a weapon, not a shield.” In August, People obtained documents stating that Williams underwent a “significant number of tests” and that her guardianship would be upheld after the attorney for her guardian, Sabrina Morrisey, reportedly requested a three-month extension of the court-ordered arrangement. However, People noted that frontotemporal dementia was not mentioned in the papers. Williams was initially placed under financial guardianship in May 2022 after her bank, Wells Fargo, told a New York court that she was an “incapacitated person.” Her later diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, which causes changes in behavior, personality, language, and movement, has kept her under the conservatorship ever since. Michael Ray Richardson, a former Knicks player, has died at the age of 70 from prostate cancer. Richardson, nicknamed “Sugar,” was the fourth pick in the 1978 NBA Draft. He earned two All-Star bids and twice earned First Team All-Defense honors while playing four seasons with the team. The Knicks traded Richardson for Bernard King, sending him to the Warriors. He played just 33 games with the Warriors before they traded him to the Nets for Sleepy Floyd and Mickey Johnson. In 1986, he violated the league’s drug policy three times. He was ultimately banned from the NBA for life for drug violations, making him the first NBA player to face those consequences. He wrote a book, “Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption,” where he admits that he had a cocaine addiction. “I will never forget that day,” Richardson said as he reflected on the day he was banned. “I got myself into it. I have to get myself out.” He transitioned to playing in the National Basketball League of Canada and Continental Basketball Association (CBA). Scouted selects products independently.

President Donald Trump thinks no one knows what a magnet is. The polarizing president was in conversation with Fox News about the economy when he veered off track to discuss China and magnetic trains. “President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets,” he said. “Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything. It’s a 30-year effort to monopolize a very important thing. Now, in two years, we’ll have magnets, all the magnets we want. Because of tariffs, listen I called, I said you’re going to play the magnet, we’re going to play the tariff on you.” His confusion over magnetism is well documented, and the record suggests he was being sincere when he said, “Nobody knows” what they are. During his diplomatic tour of Asia, Trump,79, stood in front of servicepeople of the U.S. Navy and said, “You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning, and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets. I don’t know what’s going to happen.” An AI-generated song has reached No.1 on the Billboard charts in a first for the music industry. The top-selling song this week on Billboard’s “Country Digital Sales” chart is “Walk My Walk,” an artificially-generated country track by an “artist” named Breaking Rust. First surfacing on Instagram in mid-October, Breaking Rust’s music featured AI-generated clips of lonesome cowboys on the dusty road, and quickly accrued millions of streams on Spotify. The composer of the track is credited only as Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, who also runs a separate AI music project called “Defbeastai,” which produces raunchy country music. Clips of the song posted to the artist’s Instagram are often labelled “Asking AI to make a hit country song.” The phenomenon comes months after an AI-generated rock band called “The Velvet Sundown” made headlines after one of their songs racked up millions of plays on streaming platforms. Florence Pugh revealed she was “hurt” by the criticism she faced over her age-gap relationship with Zach Braff. Pugh, 29, who dated the 50-year-old actor for three years before their 2022 split, opened up Tuesday about how she felt compelled to publicly defend the relationship. “I stood up for it and I stood up for him,” the actress said on The Louis Theroux Podcast. In 2020, while still dating Braff, she addressed the backlash on Instagram, calling the negative comments about her relationship “horrid” and “hateful.” She defended their difference in age: “I have been working since I was 17 years old,” adding, “I became an adult when I was 18 years old.” Ariana Grande cheered her on in the comments, “Oh I love and appreciate [you] so much,” she said. Joey King also chimed in, “You are simply the coolest.” When Pugh was asked if she will share her future relationships, she said, “Not anymore.” Actress Brittany Snow and photographer Hunter Moreno are reportedly engaged. The Pitch Perfect star has been relatively private about her personal life since she split from Selling the OC star, Tyler Stanaland, after 3 years of marriage in 2023. However, a video uploaded by DeuxMoi shows that Snow’s The Beast in Me co-stars Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys may have let the cat out of the bag. In the video, Snow says something to Rhys and Danes, who gasp and say, “You’re engaged!? When did that happen?” Though the actress’ ring finger was bare, she had an eye-catching sparkler on her index finger. Rumors of Snow’s romance with Moreno began in Oct. 2024 when they were seen kissing in New York. Though Moreno flies under the radar, he is good friends with Selena Gomez and is known for his work as a photographer and creative director for stars such as Machine Gun Kelly and Brittany Mahomes.

Sure, wrinkles, texture, and loss of elasticity are all normal and beautiful parts of the human experience. Still, some of us may prefer to delay those natural signs of aging with skincare and cosmetic treatments. If you want to avoid injectables and in-office aesthetic treatments like lasers and microneedling, investing in a solid skincare routine that includes the essentials (cleanser, toner, vitamin C serums, and a retinoid) can be supercharged by incorporating a liquid peptide serum like the Medik8 Liquid Peptides 30% Complex Hydrating Peptide Serum. The UK-based clinical-level skincare brand is loved by celebrities with seriously enviable skin, including Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham, but that’s not the only reason we love this firming and line-softening serum. Medik8 Multi-Peptide Age Defying Serum With Copper Peptides See At LookFantastic Free Returns | Free Shipping The Liquid Peptides serum contains multiple types of peptides and skin-boosting ingredients to target multiple signs of aging—including peptides that specifically target expression lines to prevent new wrinkles from setting in (a similar topical effect to neuromodulator injections like Botox and Dysport). It also contains a multi-weight hyaluronic acid to plump fine lines and lock in moisture so the skin doesn’t appear crepey or dehydrated—especially under the eyes. This peptide-powered serum sold out four times last year thanks to its fast-acting and super-effective formula, so if you want to find out what the hype is about, we recommend acting fast. Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner posted and deleted photos of Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan Markle, 44, at Jenner’s 70th birthday party from their respective Instagram accounts. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the red-carpet bash at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Beverly Hills mansion on Saturday. Kardashian and Jenner each shared slideshows on Monday featuring the Kardashian-Jenner clan, the royal couple, Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and other A-listers. Among the photos Kardashian, 45, posted was one of her and Markle, with the prince seemingly engaged in a conversation in the background. And Jenner shared another photo of Markle with Harry again in the background. The slideshows remain up on their Instagram pages as of Tuesday, but the images of the royal couple are no longer in them. Markle and Harry arrived at the event “hand-in-hand and looked very happy,” a source told People. “Meghan was glowing in a black wrap-style dress that showed off one leg,” the source added. “Harry looked sharp in a tuxedo with a poppy for Remembrance Day.” Harry was in Canada last week for events tied to the Nov. 11 holiday that honors U.K. military personnel who died in conflict. A California-based food influencer was killed in a “horrible accident” on Saturday, according to a GoFundMe post shared to his social media. Michael Duarte, who went by “FoodWithBearHands” on the Internet, died while traveling with his family in Texas, only three days after he and his wife celebrated their nine-year wedding anniversary. “It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our valued client and dear friend, Michael Duarte,” his talent agency, Alooma Media Group, said in a statement posted to Instagram. “He was a true & loyal partner, a trusted collaborator, and above all, a remarkable person.” No further details were released about the fatal accident. Duarte had over 2 million combined followers across his social media accounts, where he posted cooking videos and shared recipes. “The world may know him as ‘FoodWithBearHands’, but to us, he was a loving husband, father, brother, and a great friend to many.” the description in the GoFundMe post read. “We ask that you lift Michael’s family up in prayer during this extremely difficult time, especially for his 6 year old daughter Oakley, and his wife Jessica.”
