Blake Lively may be sitting out one of fashion’s biggest nights.

The actress, long considered a staple at the Met Gala, is reportedly not expected to attend the 2026 event after failing to secure an invite. Her absence comes as she remains locked in a legal dispute with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni, a situation insiders claim is beginning to affect her standing in Hollywood.

Lively last walked the Met steps in 2022, where she co-chaired the event alongside husband Ryan Reynolds.

Lively made her 2022 Met Gala appearance count, but it remains her last to date.

The actress turned heads in a strapless metallic gown that shifted between turquoise and copper tones, instantly becoming one of the night’s standout looks. After commanding so much attention, fans expected her to remain a fixture at future events. Instead, Lively quietly skipped the following year and has yet to return.

Now, the actress is expected to miss the upcoming May event as well, with reports suggesting her absence may not be by choice but because she did not receive an invitation.

Lively’s Alleged Met Gala Snub Tied To Legal Feud

Questions are already swirling over why Lively may have been left off the Met Gala guest list.

Much of the focus has landed on her ongoing legal battle with Baldoni, with whom she reportedly had a strained relationship even before the film’s 2024 release.

In December of that year, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, as reported by ABC News Australia. The actress accused her co-star of sexual harassment, boundary violations, and orchestrating a smear campaign to damage her reputation.

She later escalated the matter into a lawsuit, bringing 13 claims that expanded on the original allegations.

Fans React To Blake Lively’s Possible Met Gala Absence

The decision has not been confirmed by Met Gala organizers, leaving open the possibility that Lively could still make an appearance. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from reacting to the prospect of her absence, and many aren’t happy.

“This makes me sad. She was a Met Gala icon. Her Empire State gown was just the greatest gown I’ve ever seen,” one fan said on Instagram, recalling Lively’s standout 2022 look.

“I feel like anytime a woman speaks up in HW, they get silenced. And everyone ALWAYS believes the man. Shameful,” another commented, referencing her feud with Baldoni.

Elsewhere, some users have gone a step further, speculating about how the actress might be taking the news. One commenter claimed she is “probably fuming right now,” suggesting Lively may have been hoping the event would help reset her public image.

Lively Loses Majority Of Claims In Lawsuit Against Baldoni

Earlier this month, Lively faced a major setback in her legal battle when Judge Lewis Liman dismissed ten of the 13 claims she had brought against Baldoni. The dismissed allegations included harassment and defamation, two key pillars of her case against the film director.

In his ruling, Liman stated that the alleged incidents occurred outside California, meaning they did not meet the legal threshold required to be tried under the state’s laws.

“None of these acts or occurrences provides the ‘substantial connection’ to California needed to sustain Lively’s sexual harassment claims,” the judge wrote in his 152-page decision.

He further noted that Lively could not pursue certain claims related to harassment and retaliation because she was classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee.

Blake Lively’s Trial Against Baldoni Set To Begin In May

After the court’s ruling, only three of Lively’s claims remain headed to trial, including breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation.

Following the ruling, Baldoni’s legal team said it was “grateful to the Court for its careful review of the facts, law, and voluminous evidence that was provided.”

They added that they are confident heading into the next phase, noting, “We look forward to presenting our defense to the remaining claims in court.”

The case is currently scheduled to begin on May 18, with jury selection expected to take place in the days leading up to the trial.

Both Lively and Baldoni are expected to testify, along with additional witnesses whose identities have not yet been disclosed.

Pop quiz, media nerds: what’s the cheapest kind of television episode to produce? The answer is a bottle episode. These are the ones that use limited sets and characters and are made almost exclusively to save money. Such episodes are very common in Star Trek because they help to free up the budget for more ambitious episodes. That is, when producers save money making an episode on the cheap, they have more funds available for, say, an effects-heavy episode featuring villains like the Borg.

Early on in Star Trek: Voyager, one of the cheapest episodes was “Twisted,” which has something of a notorious reputation. Robert Picardo called it the worst episode of the entire series, and he badmouthed it at a convention so much that fans thought it might never even air. As a bottle episode, it did get one thing mostly right: it was cheaper to produce than many other series. However, in an ironic “twist,” the episode required pioneering some cutting-edge computer effects that ultimately made “Twisted” more expensive than the studio would have liked.

Star Trek: The Next Picasso

“Twisted” is pretty weird, even by Voyager standards. When Voyager passes through a weird energy field, it somehow changes the interior of the ship. Nothing is where it should be anymore, and characters wander the ship trying to find familiar locations. Most of the bridge crew ended up back in the holodeck, where they had been celebrating Kes’s birthday. When all their attempts to fix the problem fail, Tuvok suggests simply doing nothing. Surprisnly enough, his idea works. The ship safely passes through the energy field, which the crew discovers was actually a sentient alien lifeform.

Since “Twisted” was designed as a bottle episode, why did it require major computer effects? It all came down to the producers trying to figure out how to represent the distortion waves of the alien energy field on the inside of Voyager. Basically, both the ship and its interiors needed to be manipulated in three-dimensional models, something that was extremely rare for Star Trek: Voyager. It was also rare for television in general, as most ‘90s TV shows had neither the need nor the budget to pull something like this off. While the work was time-consuming, it paid off, and the cool visual effects are arguably the best things about this entire episode.

First: Do No Arm

One of the neater effects in “Twisted” was handled by Digital Magic, a special effects company created to handle postproduction of Star Trek episodes. The effect in question involved Captain Janeway’s left arm being affected by the alien energy field’s distortion waves. To make the shot work, Digital Magic filmed Kate Mulgrew’s arm against a blue screen. They ultimately ended up creating multiple composite versions of the shot before settling on a final version that provided some cool facial distortion, selling the idea that nobody on the ship was safe from this creepy cosmic phenomenon.

While “Twisted” isn’t the worst bottle episode in Star Trek history (that dubious honor goes to the Next Generation episode “Shades of Gray”), it’s pretty forgettable in almost every respect. It has a fairly nonsensical story, poor pacing, and bad characterization (Neelix’s jealousy is so obnoxious that showrunner Michael Piller made it his mission to save the character!). However, the episode has some of the coolest and most innovative effects in the first few seasons of Voyager, which help carry this stinker of a story across the finish line for anyone with a taste for cool visuals.

A judge has lifted the no contact order against Kendra Duggar and she is now able to reunite with the unnamed victims per their request, Us Weekly can confirm.

According to court documents obtained by Us, Kendra, 27, entered a not guilty plea on Thursday, April 23, in her case against the State of Arkansas. Kendra’s lawyer submitted a motion to dissolve the no contact order against the unnamed victims — which was placed in March — on April 17.

The docs claimed the alleged victims “have expressed a desire to have contact” with her as she “complied” with the order’s terms.

That same day, a judge signed off on the request and dissolved the order.

Joseph Duggar’s release from jail has come with stipulations amid his child molestation case. Duggar, 31, has been ordered to have “no contact with the victim,” who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was 9 years old, according to online records viewed by Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 1. Additionally, he cannot have […]

“It is further ordered that the Arkansas Department of Human Services is authorized to supervise, communicate and facilitate reunification between the Defendant and the individuals previously covered in the no contact order,” read the judge’s ruling.

TMZ was first to report the news.

Us has reached out to Kendra’s lawyer for comment.

Last month, Kendra was arrested days after husband Joseph Duggar was taken into custody on molestation charges. (Joseph was accused of sexual abuse from a teen girl who was 9 years old at the time of the alleged incident. He has since pleaded not guilty and released after posting a $600,000 bond.)

Both Kendra and Joseph were charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree and four counts of false imprisonment in the second degree. Kendra was released that same day on a $1,470 bond.

Kendra’s endangerment arrest is not related to Joseph’s case. A spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us in a statement, “[Kendra’s] is a misdemeanor charge totally unrelated to the Florida case.”

A source claimed to Us that “one precipitated the other.”

“After his charge, they automatically do a home study if minors live there. They came to her house,” the insider said at the time. “Apparently, they had two rooms where the lock of the doorknob was on the outside instead of inside. They arrested her and took her kids for that, saying it’s evidence that she wrongly detains her kids.”

“Our family is both troubled and heartbroken over the alleged actions committed by our son-in-law,” the statement read. “We are devastated for the young girl, a child who was courageous in every way to share her truth.

Sally Field has spent decades choosing roles that dig into something true about human experience. In a rare interview, the actress looked back on one famous part she turned down — Annie Paradis in 1996’s First Wives Club — and explained why another, Mrs. Doubtfire, still resonates with families more than 30 years later.

Field didn’t mince words about her decision to pass on First Wives Club.

“I loved all those actors,” Field told Parade in an interview published April 25. “But I did turn it down.”

Sally Field Says ‘First Wives Club’ Was a Role She Just Couldn’t Do

The reason was philosophical. For Field, the film’s premise didn’t reflect the kinds of stories she believed women deserved.

“I have always had a problem with older women either wanting to get a date or looking to, like, you know, have more sex with their husband,” she said. “I just feel like there’s more for women to say, so that was just never my cup of tea.”

One of the greats! Sally Field has tackled a variety of roles throughout her career, from boy-crazy surfers to educated First Ladies. “She dared this town to typecast her, and then simply broke through every dogmatic barrier to find her own way — not to stardom, which I imagine she’d decry, but to great roles […]

First Wives Club, based on the 1992 novel, follows three college friends who reunite at the funeral of a fourth friend who died by suicide after being abandoned by her husband for a younger woman. All three discover they share the same experience — each has been divorced by a husband who left for a younger partner. Rather than staying hurt, they form a pact and set out to get even. Their plan isn’t just petty revenge — it’s about exposing their exes’ hypocrisy, reclaiming their self-worth and rediscovering independence. Along the way, they use clever schemes to undermine their exes socially and financially.

As the plot unfolds, the women realize revenge alone isn’t enough. They shift toward empowerment and solidarity, ultimately using their resources to support other women in similar situations. The film mixes humor with a message about aging, sexism, friendship and personal reinvention — and famously ends with a joyful performance of “You Don’t Own Me,” celebrating their renewed confidence.

That musical finale presented its own obstacle for Field.

“I couldn’t have done that role, because I don’t sing and they all do at the end.”

Diane Keaton ultimately landed the role of Annie, with Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, Stockard Channing, Dan Hedaya, Victor Garber, Stephen Collins, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elizabeth Berkley and Marcia Gay Harden rounding out the cast. The film scored an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score.

Field held no regrets about the casting.

“I would never have been as good. I mean, it was absolutely right for Keaton — not for me,” Field remarked.

Keaton died on October 11, 2025, at age 79 from primary bacterial pneumonia.

Why ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Still Hits Home for Fans of Sally Field

Though Field passed on First Wives Club, her résumé
speaks for itself — from early roles in Gidget and The Flying Nun to Norma Rae, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump and more, she’s had a lifetime full of big hits. It’s 1993’s Mrs. Doubtfire that Field believes still carries a quietly powerful message.

The family comedy-drama stars the late Robin Williams as Daniel Hillard, a divorced father who can’t stand being separated from his kids. After losing custody, he comes up with a wild plan — disguising himself as an elderly British nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire to get hired in his ex-wife’s home and secretly spend time with his children. As the double life grows more complicated, Daniel struggles to keep his identity hidden while learning hard truths about responsibility, parenting and why his marriage fell apart. Field plays his ex-wife, who grows more independent, adding tension until Daniel can no longer hide who he really is.

Also starring Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson, the film has endured as a family favorite. Field isn’t surprised.

“The movie is about something really valid and important,” she told Parade in a story published April 26. “It’s a lot of laughter, but it’s about the difficulties of divorce for children and how ultimately, the mom and the dad can get divorced and the kids will still be OK. Kids need to know this — they need to know that sometimes divorce is the very best thing because sometimes when moms and dads feel they need to stay together for the kids, it’s a bad message.”

That insight — that a comedy can carry a truth children need to hear — helps explain why the film endures. It isn’t just funny. It names something families live through and tells them the outcome can be OK.

What’s Next for Sally Field?

Field’s next project follows her instinct for stories about unexpected connections. In Remarkably Bright Creatures, an adaptation of the novel by Shelby Van Pelt, she plays Tova, a lonely widow working the night shift at an aquarium who forms an unusual bond with a clever octopus named Marcellus. As their connection deepens, the story weaves together Tova’s grief, a young man searching for his past and a mystery that gradually brings their lives together.

The film also stars Meghan Heffern, Lewis Pullman, Colm Meaney, Joan Chen, Kathy Baker, Beth Grant, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Laura Harris and Alfred Molina. It will be released by Netflix on May 8.

After another impressive weekend at the box office, there is no doubt which movie is the one to beat in 2026. Hoping to follow the $1.3 billion blockbuster success of 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the recent sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, has taken another step closer to reaching the billion-dollar threshold. At the box office this past weekend, the sequel soared to even greater heights, earning another $21 million in the U.S. alone, which marked a drop of just 42%, its lowest weekend drop so far.

This impressive fourth weekend has helped take The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to $831 million worldwide, split between a domestic haul of $386 million and a further $445 million from overseas markets. By quite some distance, this is the highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far worldwide, although there are several major releases to come this year likely to prove more financially fruitful. This success is impressive, albeit expected, especially when considering the star-power part of the Mario Galaxy ensemble. Returning for the sequel are Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, and Jack Black, with the franchise welcoming newcomers Glen Powell, Brie Larson, and Donald Glover.

As the video game adaptation sequel keeps climbing the box office ranks, it continues to surpass world-famous projects from some of the biggest cinematic franchises. Thanks to last weekend, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has now out-grossed the final chapter in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, at the U.S. box office. This follows the Lord of the Rings re-release earlier this year, which itself helped nudge the trilogy past some eye-catching box office milestones.

There’s a New Box Office Champion

Telling the competition to “Beat It” this past weekend was the debut of Michael, Antoine Fuqua’s long-awaited musical biopic about the King of Pop. Overtaking the likes of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and the Ryan Gosling-led sci-fi flick Project Hail Mary, Michael has already made box office history in just a couple of days by scoring the biggest opening ever for a biopic. Already, the movie has surpassed the $215 million mark worldwide and is sure to be one of 2026’s highest-grossing movies.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is available to watch in theaters now. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Megan Thee Stallion’s breakup with Klay Thompson has taken another dramatic turn, with fresh rumors dragging a WNBA star into the middle of the controversy. 

As speculation spread online, Seattle Storm player Lexie Brown quickly stepped forward to clear her name. 

While the rapper has already spoken out about why she ended things, the situation has only grown messier, with cheating accusations, viral claims, and social media chatter fueling even more attention around the high-profile split.

The fallout from Megan Thee Stallion’s breakup didn’t take long to spiral online, especially after Lexie Brown’s name unexpectedly entered the conversation.

According to Us Weekly, the Seattle Storm guard directly addressed the rumors in a public statement on Instagram Stories, writing, “I’ve seen what’s being said online, and I want to be clear, none of it is true, and I have no involvement in this situation.” 

The 31-year-old also made it clear that she wanted no part in the drama, adding, “This week marks the start of an important and exciting new season for me, and my focus is fully on that.”

Her response came after online chatter suggested she had been involved with the Dallas Mavericks star while he was still with Megan. 

Megan Accuses Thompson Of Cheating

While rumors swirled, Megan Thee Stallion had already made her position clear regarding the breakup.

As The Blast reported, the Grammy winner confirmed she ended the relationship herself, explaining, “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay.” 

Megan emphasized her values, adding, “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward.”

She also shared that she is stepping back to focus on herself, saying, “I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.” 

Before her official statement, she had hinted at deeper issues in a fiery Instagram Stories post.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet’ Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’???? b*tch I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall,” she wrote.

The online frenzy intensified after claims from an X user surfaced suggesting Lexie Brown had shared private messages involving Klay Thompson.

According to the rumors, she was allegedly sharing messages between her and Thompson supposedly claiming the NBA star was dating the rapper “for social media.” 

“Apparently she was posting on her close friends messages between Klay and her and that klay was telling her his and Megan’s relationship is just for social media,” the tweet read.

However, the account that initially pushed the story has since gone private, raising questions about its credibility. 

Further fueling speculation were claims that Brown and Thompson had recently followed each other online. However, as of April 27, that connection did not exist.

Angel Reese Speaks About Megan And Thompson’s Breakup

Brown isn’t the only WNBA star to weigh in on the Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson breakup. 

As The Blast reported, Angel Reese, who is gearing up for her third season, publicly shared her thoughts.

Taking to X, Reese showed support for the rapper with a heartfelt message that quickly went viral. 

In her post, Reese wrote, “It’s the way you show up even while carrying so much—that’s what makes you THAT girl,” 

She added, You always have a little sister riding for you… I love you, sister.” 

Reese’s comments sparked hundreds of reactions from fans, many of whom showed support to Megan for not tolerating disrespect.

Megan Thee Stallion And Klay Thompson’s Romance Once Seemed Strong

The breakup stands in sharp contrast to how public and affectionate their relationship once appeared. 

Megan and Thompson first sparked dating rumors last summer after he appeared in the background of one of her vacation photos. 

Not long after, they confirmed their romance publicly, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about celebrity couples.

Their relationship seemed to progress rapidly. At one point, the “WAP” rapper shared an Instagram post featuring two hands forming a heart while holding keys, with a modern home visible in the background. 

Fans speculated that the couple had taken a major step, possibly moving in together. They also shared playful moments online, including a viral video where Megan encouraged Thompson to try on an outfit before he strutted in it as music played. 

The clip ended with her dancing on him as he smiled, reinforcing the image of a fun and close relationship.

General Hospital two week spoilers for April 27th through May 8th have Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) scheming and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) freaking out.

General Hospital Spoilers Sunday, April 27th

Sunday, April 27th, we’ve got Elizabeth finding out some information about Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). I wonder what it is and who is giving her the info because she was just really focused on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and now the other twin, the good twin over at General Hospital.

Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is basically trying to shake some sense into Rocco Falconeri (Fen Carr), telling him that his life is on the line and he needs to understand that. So, I do suspect Britt is trying to scare Rocco into taking this threat from Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) very seriously. And, you know, he just casually told her, which is great. Britt doesn’t mind that, but she doesn’t want Rocco telling anybody else, which makes total sense.

And from his hospital bed, Cullum takes a phone call asking someone what they have for him. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) just heard from Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is worked up trying to escape the psych facility. So, Cullum might get that same update.

GH Spoilers: Valentin onto Cullum

Next week, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) are talking. They’re stressed out. Valentin tells Carly he thinks Cullum played a direct role in Anna’s total mental breakdown. Valentin also admits to something and he may tell Carly about Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) digging into Cullum and Anna. Or maybe it’s Valentin admitting how worried he is for his ex Anna.

Plus, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is suspicious and it may be about this interaction he has outside Bobbie’s Diner. He runs into James West (Gary James Fuller) and not-Nathan and Sidwell is asking the kid about his lethal martial arts moves and if he got them from his father and of course Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) is standing there having to pretend that he is his father.

So, I wonder if Sidwell is just gauging the relationship and how much he cares about the kids. Also, Joss grills Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). Could be about not Nathan, and I wonder if she’ll ask if anybody’s looked into those missing seven years.

Monday, April 28th on General Hospital: Ethan’s First Day on the Job

This week, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) chat at the mob boss’s office, and Ethan wants to know why Sonny sold his piers to Sidwell, and Sonny says it’s a long story. Ethan still wants to hear it. And then Sonny says if things work out between them, he and Ethan won’t be keeping any secrets.

Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) interrupts and is stunned to see Ethan there, wants to know what he is doing in Port Charles. Also on Monday, Ethan makes Sonny an offer and it sounds like he may be offering to off Sidwell for a big payday.

General Hospital Spoilers Tuesday, April 29th: Tracy Gives a Warning

Tuesday, April 28th, Tracy dishes out a warning and it may be again to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) about Jordan Ashford‘s (Tanisha Harper) wreck. If Brook Lynn finds out that there is another suspect, like if Chase mentions it, maybe even mentions it’s Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), you know, I don’t think that BLQ is going to sit idly by, but Tracy may tell her to do just that.

That same day, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) thinks he has a new suspect. So, he suspects that Isaiah did this because, you know, he’s probably the only person in Port Charles that drives a dark foreign SUV. Lucas gets a kind offer, maybe from Sidwell wanting him to stay at Wyndemere for good basically like a surrogate son and Michael gets together with Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen). So, for now, Michael may be trying to smooth things over after the Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) versus Willow scene only because Michael’s biding his time until he can blow Willow out of the water.

Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) supports Jordan as she opens up to her. She may be whining to the DA when she’s the one who caused the wreck, but she may be pressuring Justine to bring the other driver to justice. Across the board on soap social media, I see most General Hospital fans hating this thing and not understanding even the point of it since Jordan blatantly caused her own accident.

GH Spoilers Wednesday, April 30th: Lulu in a Rage

Then on Wednesday, April 29th, we’ve got Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) on the warpath. If she finds out that Britt chewed out Rocco, she’ll go crazy. If he tells Lulu that he told other mother Britt that he shot Cullum, she’s probably going to lose it and go over there and confront Britt.

Michael talks over his plan to destroy Willow and he may be talking just to Justine or could be Kristina. She’s not a fan. And Curtis and Laura do some catching up and he may be talking to her about the crash. I wonder if Curtis is going to say he suspects Isaiah. Laura wants to know, is that because you want it to be him?

And Elizabeth has Willow in the hot seat on Wednesday. And I’m sure this is because Drew got Liz to understand his SOS blinking. She may try to bring in a letter chart so Drew can communicate. But obviously Willow and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) can’t allow that. But if Willow pushes back too hard on Elizabeth, that’s going to be a huge red flag. Also, Josslyn gets important new information on Wednesday.

General Hospital Spoilers Thursday, May 1st: Lucas Blasts Carly

Then on Thursday, April 30th, we’ve got Lucas confronting Carly. This may be about her still seeing Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). You know, he may find out she’s hiding Valentin. Obviously, somebody is going to find out at some point. Somebody that won’t keep quiet like all the other people. Brennan is alarmed and this may be him getting some fake intel from Nina about Valentin or maybe about Anna and Lucy is pushing Ava’s buttons and I’m sure it’s about Sidwell.

Plus, Ethan is suspicious on Thursday and could be about not Nathan, could be about Joss, could honestly be about Sonny because he seems to be working angles here. And Britt spills a secret. So I wonder if she opens up to Josslyn about Cassius or if she spills some info to Lulu.

GH Spoilers Friday, May 1st: Sonny Goes Looking for Britt

Friday, May 1st, we’ve got Britt getting a visit from Sonny. And this may concern Jason or Sidwell. Also this week, Tracy and Brook Lynn are happily chatting with Trina at the Quartermaine Mansion, and Tracy is holding a package for her. Plus, somebody surprises Jordan with an uplifting visit. It is May sweeps, so it would be amazing if it was her son TJ Ashford, but unfortunately I think that’s a long shot.

Brook Lynn is worked up and she may find out Isaiah is a suspect in the car crash. Plus, Carly may be out of time. Somebody who won’t keep it quiet may find out she has been hiding Valentin. Somebody who won’t turn a blind eye like you know her boyfriend Jack.

Week of May 4th-8th: Second Full Week of May Sweeps on General Hospital

The week of May 4th through the 8th, it is the second full week of May sweeps. Lots of storylines picking up momentum. Britt is determined to protect Rocco at all cost. Hopefully, she and Lulu can find a way to work together for Rocco’s sake. And unfortunately, Cassius is in this and Britt probably shouldn’t tell Lulu who he is, but you never know. Also, Britt’s going to be under pressure to complete that Cold Fusion prototype. It should be done soon.

GH Spoilers: Willow in Trouble, Carly Caught, & Isaiah Interrogated

We’ll find out if Carly’s going to be headed to jail for harboring an international fugitive from the WSB. Isaiah may be interrogated by the PCPD over Jordan’s accident. And Liz is close to figuring out what Drew is fully trying to say. The walls are closing in on Willow now that Liz is seeing red flags and Michael’s targeting her and Jack may push back on her blackmail. Things could get blown up for Willow in May sweeps. I think it’s just about to happen.

Ethan’s determined to take Sidwell down. Michael amps up his plot against Willow. Cassius works hard to keep his secrets hidden. And we should learn more about Anna because she has new scenes coming soon. Plus, Valentin is furious to find out what has been done to Anna and wants to help her.

Sometimes it’s more difficult to dress for a casual day than for a fancy occasion. But Jessica Alba just gave us a spring outfit formula that’s more elevated than wearing jeans or leggings. You might not think to wear high-waisted trousers on the weekends, but hear us out: They’re just as comfortable yet more stylish.

Alba’s cool-mom outfit was spotted as she was leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel. Her trousers look just like the Nimin High-Waisted Work Pants on Amazon, which means you can get that effortlessly put-together look, too. The actress and Honest Company founder paired her straight-leg pants with a white tank top, a white, unbuttoned button-up shirt, white sneakers, a brown designer bag and sunglasses.

You might not think of work pants as being the most comfortable bottoms, but you won’t say that after trying this Amazon find. Although they don’t have an elastic waistband, the 8% spandex makes the fabric easy to wear without losing its structure. The pleated pocket area and relaxed straight-leg silhouette are all the makings of a flattering option.

If squeezing into dress pants has you dreading it the night before, same. But Gisele Bündchen‘s latest trouser style is honestly a life hack. It makes you look professional while feeling like you’re in loungewear . . . because you basically are. These pants are something between polished slacks and comfy sweats, making them the workwear […]

What we love about the Nimin work pants is that there is a range of sizes, including short, regular and long inseams. The apricot color is a similar spring-ready hue to Alba’s tan pair, but it also comes in a range of other neutrals. No matter what color you choose, these pants can be dressed up for the office or dressed down for hanging out around town.

Amazon shoppers agree that these pants look more expensive than they are and are comfortable for all-day wear (even on an airplane).

“Absolutely love these pants! So comfortable and can dress up for work or down with some sneakers and a jean jacket. They are very stretchy and not cheap material,” one five-star reviewer shared.

“I LOVE these pants and plan to buy in multiple colors. Bought these for a trip to Europe. Wore them on the plane (nine hours), layover tour of Paris and subsequent travel to Spain. They were comfortable and still looked good at the end of it (better than I did!),” a happy shopper wrote.

Elevating your everyday look can be as easy as upgrading just one item in your outfit. Copying Alba’s formula isn’t a bad place to start!
