Top Chef Host Roasts JD Vance’s Meal for His Wife

When Vice PresidentJD Vancerecently opened up about the worst meal he'd ever cooked for hiswife, Usha, he probably didn't expect to receive a public culinary critique from one of television's most respected food experts. But that's exactly what happened when former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi weighed in on his kitchen confession during a visit to The Daily Show.

Padma Lakshmi roasts JD Vance's cooking for wife Usha

In February,when JD Vancesat down with Lara Trumpon Fox News, he was asked about the best and worst dishes he's prepared for the second lady. The vice president answered, "Usha is a vegetarian, and I am not. So, I'm thinking to myself, what does a vegetarian eat? Vegetables, dairy, and bread."

Further explaining, "So, I went to the grocery store. I got those crescent rolls that you can get that are very good. I rolled them out into a pizza shape, and put vegetables and ranch on top, and stuck it in the oven for 30 minutes." His self-assessment? "It was disgusting. Like, it was actually inedible."

Padma Lakshmi, who spent nearly two decades as the host of Top Chef, didn't hold back when askedabout Vance'sculinary creation. "He's married an Indian woman, so she comes from this very deep vast culinary tradition, you know, and he's giving her, what was it, ranch dressing?" Lakshmi said.

"Who bakes ranch dressing?" she continued. "Also, he's like, 'She's a vegetarian. She only eats bread, vegetables, and dairy.' You've been married to this person for over a decade, right? And we eat lots of things, right? Rice, lentils, beans, squash, all this stuff." Lakshmi ended with, "But, I mean, maybe he knows what she likes because she doesn't really have good taste."

During the same segment, host Desi Lydic asked Lakshmi about the worst thing a partner had ever made for her. The cookbook author responded with a story that had less to do with the food itself and more with the presentation.

Prince William ‘Triggered’ by Possible Movie on Ex-Prince Andrew — Source

Prince Williamhas reportedly been unhappy with the possible movie onex-Prince Andrew. According to a source, the project could be based on the ex-Duke of York's downfall, leading to the recent shocking arrest. So, the idea of a potential film on the royal family once again has allegedly "triggered" the future king. As per the report, he would seemingly "despise" another fiction like the Netflix hit series, "The Crown."

Prince William has allegedly been worried about the idea of a potential movie on ex-Prince Andrew. The latter has been stripped of his royal titles and duties due to his scandalous past. He also had to leave Royal Lodge and move to the Sandringham estate. On February 19, he was arrested at his new home on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Now, there has been a buzz about Netflix planning a film on the ex-duke. But it seemed to have irked the heir to the throne. "There's a real sense of 'here we go again' which has really triggered William, especially as it seems Netflix are the ones leading the way to put this movie or TV series together," a source toldStarmagazine.

As per the report, the streamer might revive its hit series, "The Crown." It could allegedly continue with special or limited episodes based on the ex-prince. According to the insider, everyone seemed to be aware that William always "despised" such projects that "profit off his family's lowest points." "It happened with 'The Crown' and now comes yet another attack that'll cause widespread embarrassment," they added.

Earlier, theDaily Mailreported about Netflix, Disney, and Amazon participating in the race to bag the opportunity to make a movie on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Disney Studios' source claimed that they have reportedly been approached by multiple screenwriters. "The race is on in Hollywood to be the first studio to bring out an Andrew film," they said.

On Monday's episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show,"Pink, akaAlecia Beth Moore, possibly winked at herdivorce rumorswithCarey Hart. The singer stepped onto the stage in a white T-shirt printed with "GIVE ME SOME GOOD NEWS," paired with a brown velvet suit, and the internet noticed that this happened just days after headlines claimed she and her husband had split.

The latest episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" saw Pink in all her glory, but the message on her white tee seemingly nodded at the divorce rumors with Carey Hart. Apart from the T-shirt, the episode was close to home for the singer. Pink's daughter, Willow, joined her on the show as the program kicked off Women's History Month with a Broadway-themed hour.

Clarkson posted about the lineup on Instagram, writing, "Kicking off #WomensHistoryMonth with our guest host P!nk and a special Broadway hour ft. Darren Criss, Shoshana Bean, the cast of Ragtime, and P!nk's daughter, Willow!"

Pink addressed the divorce rumors herself last week. In anInstagram video, she responded to the reports, saying, "So I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know," and adding, "Thank you for letting me know. Would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and my 9-year-old are also unaware."

Additionally, the rumors picked up speed as Pink confirmed her family's move to New York City, which she said is due toWillow's interest in theater and being closer to Broadway. At the same time,Page Sixreported that she may be in line to take over the hosting job.

A source told Page Six that they saw her at Soho House in Manhattan "with a guy who seemed to be part of her team," adding, "She spent a few hours reading paperwork and documents on a computer." Pink and Hart have spent more than two decades together, including a past split and reconciliation, and right now, she is not heeding the divorce rumors.

Kelsey Parker on Why Grieving the Loss of Her Baby Was 'Harder' Than Late Husband Tom Parker's Death

Kelsey Parker is opening up about grieving both her infant son and her late husband, musician Tom Parker

NEED TO KNOW

• The television personality and podcaster welcomed two children with The Wanted's Tom Parker before his March 2022 death

• While pregnant in June 2025, she revealed that she lost her child with her current partner, Will Lindsay

Kelsey Parker is sharing her experience with grief after losing both a husband and a son.

In a new episode of theMum's The Word! With Georgia Jones & Kelsey Parkerpodcast, the 34-year-old mother of two opened up on how she navigated her late husband Tom Parker's death shortly after their kids were born, compared to the pregnancy loss she experienced with her current partner last year.

While discussing a recent appearance onSky Newsto bring awareness to maternity care being "so bad" in the U.K., the actress and television personality said there was much more she planned to share at a later time.

"It was a really interesting topic, and obviously we were just talking about Phoenix, and I couldn't open up completely, and I can't open up completely on this podcast because it's an ongoing thing," she said, referring to the loss of her son.

In a June 22, 2025,Instagram post,she announced that her first child with partner Will Lindsay — whom the couple named Phoenix Parker-Lindsay — was "born sleeping."

She and her late husband, The Wanted's Tom Parker, previously welcomed two children together: Aurelia and Bodhi, who were 5 and 4, respectively, at the time of Phoenix's death.

The British singerdiedon March 30, 2022, at the age of 33, almost two years after he was firstdiagnosed with stage four glioblastoma.

On Sunday's March 1 episode of her podcast, Kelsey said she still plans to share more of her experience, but added that for now, "the biggest part that I'm sharing is that I still have to be a mom every day."

"And it was so hard, I think with Phoenix, it was harder with Phoenix than it was with Tom," she continued. "I think 'cause they were so much younger, I could just be like, 'Oh, well, daddy wasn't coming back.' And you know, when I said about the angels taking daddy, we won't see daddy again. They accepted that, and we sort of moved on."

Kelsey noted that explaining to Aurelia and Bodhi, who were older now than they were when Tom died, that their brother, whom they watched grow inside their mother's belly, was more difficult to do.

"When Phoenix died, they knew the reality of that as well," Kelsey explained. "So, they knew, you know, my dad's died. We've never seen my dad since Phoenix has died. We're never going to see Phoenix and we're never going to get to meet Phoenix. I think that's for them. And it was why," she said.

Movie Review: Pixar delivers with sweet, action-packed ‘Hoppers’

"Hoppers" might be built with familiar parts, butPixar's latestisn't trying to hide its various influences. Instead, this buoyant, freewheeling adventure about a spirited 19-year-old environmental activist who infiltrates the animal world in the body a robotic beaver wears its references for all to see. Sometimes it's with a wink; Sometimes it's more overt, like Kathy Najimy's flustered scientist shouting, "This is nothing like'Avatar!'"

Film Review - Hoppers

Of course, "Hoppers," directed by Daniel Chong, is a little like "Avatar," but who can blame her for being defensive? She's figured out how to transport human consciousness into a robotic animal that can not only pass as a real one — in this case a beaver — but communicate with all varieties of mammals, insects and amphibians too. Is it also a"Simpsons already did it"reference? That might be getting a little too meta, but the point is "Hoppers" is having fun with its own chaos.

Najimy's Dr. Fairfax is a relatively minor character in the world of "Hoppers," but she, and everyone else around Beaverton (both animal and human), are rendered with the kind of specificity, care and goofiness that make them memorable regardless of screen time. This is an especially good thing when the supporting voice cast includes people like Meryl Streep, Sam Richardson,Dave Franco, Ego Nwodim and Vanessa Bayer. The last time I felt so singularly connected to the ensemble of a Pixar movie was"Luca,"which was also written by Jesse Andrews.

The hero at the heart of "Hoppers," Mabel Tanaka (Piper Curda), is actually a kind of spiritual sister to "Luca's" Giulia Marcovaldo — impassioned (some might ungenerously say "too much") and a bit of an outcast because of it.

Mabel's focus has always been animals: She was the kid who tried to free the pets in her elementary school (several times). As a young adult, she's the one who shows up on the mayor's lawn to debate. When Mayor Jerry (Jon Hamm) comes to tear down a particularly sentimental spot, the glade, in the name of finishing a highway overpass that will save his constituents four minutes on their commutes, she goes full terminator in her mission to save it — or, you know, as much as a 19-year-old in the body of a mechanical beaver can.

As a beaver, Mabel forms a friendship with King George (Bobby Moynihan), an optimistic, 80s-music loving beaver who oversees a superdam for all the displaced wildlife. The various species live in relative harmony and peace but still abide by dryly practical "pond rules" like "when you've gotta eat, eat." Her gung-ho, apologize later attitude has some positive effects. It also gets her and her new friends in over their heads when she inadvertently incites a war. For a PG-rated Pixar movie, the stakes get rather, uh, real. It is worth remembering that time in "Toy Story 3" where Woody and his pals seemed prepared for imminent incineration. This is decidedly tamer.

Don't think too hard about how "Hoppers" gets you from a little tale about a girl trying to save a patch of land to a truly helter-skelter third act involving a flying assassin shark, a Machiavellian insect prince and more body swapping than "Freakier Friday." Just enjoy the adorable and slightly manic ride.

Somehow, amid all the lighthearted anarchy, "Hoppers" manages to pull a few emotional strings too. After the heavy-handed"Elio" misfire, "Hoppers" might still feel fairly distant from the heights of peak Pixar; It's also a big, joyful leap in the right direction.

"Hoppers," a Walt Disney Co. release in theaters Friday, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association for "some scary images, mild language and action/peril." Running time: 105 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Eric Dane's Official Cause of Death Confirmed

Eric Dane's official cause of death has been confirmed

NEED TO KNOW

• The Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria star died on Thursday, Feb. 19

• Dane announced in April 2025 that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Eric Dane's official cause of death has been confirmed.

TheGrey's AnatomyandEuphoriaactordiedof respiratory failure, according to his death certificate obtained by PEOPLE.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)is an underlying cause of death.

Dane was 53. He is survived by his wife,Rebecca Gayheart, and their two children,Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13.

His family confirmed that the stardied on Thursday, Feb. 19, nearly one year after he announcedhe had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS is a progressive degenerative disease that affects the nerve cells, leading to eventual paralysis of the muscles, according to theMayo Clinic. There is no cure for ALS. However, there are medications and forms of physical therapy that can slow the progression.

"With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS," Dane's family said in a statement to PEOPLE on Feb. 19. "He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world. Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he's received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time."

Dane revealed his ALS diagnosisin April 2025.

"I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter," he told PEOPLE at the time.

"I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set ofEuphorianext week," he added. "I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time."

Dane began filming season 3 of HBO'sEuphoria, where he starred as Jacobs family patriarch Cal, justfour days after announcing his ALS diagnosis.

The actor's first televised performance following his stunning revelation was asa firefighter and 9/11 herowho struggles to tell his wife he's been diagnosed with ALS onan episode ofBrilliant Mindsthat filmed last October and aired the following month.

Dane said that the most challenging thing about the role was separating himself from his character, but added that he was "grateful" for the "cathartic" experience.

"I have no reason to be in a good spirit at any time, on any given day, I don't think anybody would blame me if I went upstairs in my bedroom, crawled under the sheets, and spent the next two weeks crying,"he said in a virtual panelfeaturingI AM ALSandSynapticureco-founders Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya for Giving Tuesday on Dec. 2, 2025.

"I was a little bit pleasantly surprised when I realized that I wasn't built like that, because I thought for sure that was gonna be me."

Dane found it "very encouraging" to know that he can actually have a "buoyant spirit in the face of something so horrible."

He added, "It's imperative that I share my journey with as many people as I can because I don't feel like my life is about me anymore."

In January, the actor was scheduled to attend theALS Network'sChampions for Cures and Care Galaand be recognized asAdvocate of the Year. However, Danecanceled his appearance hours before, "due to the physical realities of ALS" and not being "well enough to attend," the ALS Network confirmed to PEOPLE at the time.
