A new study published in Current Biology suggests that your pup may get so excited to see you after periods of separation that their eyes literally well with tears of joy. Takefumi Kikusui, a researcher at Azabu University in Japan, first hypothesized that oxytocin might increase tear production when one of his standard poodles was nursing her puppies and he noticed that her eyes looked teary. Oxytocin is known as a maternal or love hormone, and researchers knew from previous observations that oxytocin is released in dogs (as well as their humans) when they interact, leading Kikusui and his team to run a reunification experiment....

Jackie O wasn’t the only fashion legend that the Duchess of Cambridge chose to emulate for yesterday’s service at Westminster Abbey—Kate’s sapphire set, consisting of a necklace and earrings, belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. It’s thought that the duchess’s choice of blue was to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine (Kate wore a blue jumper for her and Prince William’s visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre last week.) Diana’s sapphires were a further nod to Ukraine—Kate also wore them when she and William met Ukraine’s President Zelensky and his wife First Lady Olena Zelenska in December 2020....

One user on Twitter went viral after sharing a video of Diana’s real tell-all interview side-by-side with a scene from the hit Netflix series, where Debicki, 32, reenacts the exact interview. “the crown just cannot be beaten at this point, these diana clips 😨😨 #TheCrown,” the tweet, which has garnered an astounding 3.8 million+ views on the social networking site, read. In the clip, the Australian actress not only looks the part, but she also nails Diana’s accent perfectly, executing the late princess’ mannerisms to a T....

The Ellen DeGeneres Show was a risk from the start; TV station groups were reluctant to take on the comedian who had publicly come out as a lesbian in 1994. “I don’t know what they thought,” DeGeneres said, “that I would stand in front of a rainbow flag and play a heavy rotation of Melissa Etheridge, Indigo Girls and k.d. lang?” Still, her daytime talk show was a feel-good show; she danced, she did giveaways and audiences liked her charming and friendly demeanor....

In April 2021, a viral TikTok mocked Pompeo for making so much bank on Grey’s Anatomy despite her character, Meredith Grey, lying in a hospital bed battling COVID-19 for much of the show’s 17th season. Set to Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars,” the video depicts a woman sleeping in a hospital bed, captioned, “Ellen Pompeo knowing she’s making $600,000 per episode.” While the pandemic-themed season doesn’t see Grey having too much action (beyond in her dreams), it doesn’t mean Pompeo shouldn’t earn those big bucks....

“Yes, we moved a lot,” Outlander executive producer Maril Davis recently told Parade in an exclusive interview. “There is definitely story to finish. We have four episodes left that we’d already crafted out… We’re definitely going to finish the stories that we wanted to tell in Season 6 in Season 7.” Work is already underway on Season 7, which will take close to a year to film with the extra episodes....

Why regular exercise helps us sleep Studies have been conducted to try to determine if there is a “bidirectional” relationship between sleep and exercise (that is, if better sleep leads to more exercise in the same way that more exercise leads to better sleep). While they have found that better sleep doesn’t lead to an increase in physical activity, it still stands that regular physical activity does lead to better sleep (though, researchers admit the majority of studies done have involved people with insomnia versus people with occasional sleep disturbances)....

At this point, we’re no stranger to questionable TikTok trends. Still, they leave us scratching our heads more often than not. Now, an old trend that should have already been put to rest seems to be resurfacing, as the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has issued a formal warning against the NyQuil Chicken recipe—because, apparently, “don’t cook your chicken in cold medicine” wasn’t already common sense. The FDA shared guidelines for social media challenges involving medications last week in response to a viral TikTok trend that involves cooking chicken in NyQuil or similar OTC cough syrups....

“The most wonderful time of year. The season where trees grow inside, snow magically appears,” read the text on the video as Willow walked past a row of trees that were lined down the hallway. The video captured Willow as she played with toys that were gifted to her by the first lady. “Mom knows exactly what you want,” read the text over the video as Willow stuck her head inside the box and immediately started to play with her toys as Jill laughed at her silly antics....

The actress busted into a joyful shimmy as she shook up a fresh cocktail in a newly-posted Instagram video. Pictured in a classic-look, white tank top and denim jeans, she pranced around to the tune of what a fan in the comments section noted was “Entre Dos Aguas” by Spanish guitarist, Paco de Lucía. “It’s nice to hear Paco de Lucia on those speakers,” another follower confirmed. “It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere 😜,” Gadot captioned the fun post....

What was the most important thing for you in making KISStory? We wanted to stay true to the vibe and the culture that we’re all about. Our mandate has always been, we’re apolitical: Don’t go looking for meaning. Don’t give us gravitas. Don’t make us seem more than what we are. We’ve always been about putting on the best show, and that’s it. Will people learn anything surprising? They’ll be surprised that we’re normal, boring guys....

The singer took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video mashup of all of her favorite Halloween looks from years past. The song “Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett played in the background of the video that showcased Stefani’s costumes, including throwbacks to when she was a little girl all the way through the present-day. Costume looks ranged from cute and playful, like when she dressed up as Winnie the Pooh, to gorier version, like a haunted version of Alice in Wonderland....

In response to a fan who probed her with the question via Instagram, Paltrow responded, candidly admitting to still being friends with her former lovers, a choice that she credits to her belief in “conscious uncoupling,” according to People....

PSA: Not every workout has to be super intense. You absolutely do not have to be hard on your body to burn calories. In fact, simply going for a walk is a great way to stay in shape. While you may have a wearable that tracks your steps and distance, many don’t tell you how many calories you burned while walking—and even if yours does, you might be wondering just how accurate that calorie count actually is....
