Dogs of every breed are able to show such excitement over the littlest thing, but Golden Retrievers are just a bit extra. Be it with their favorite toys, snacks, or in this case, their dog beds.
One proud goldie named Winston is winning hearts online, thanks to his adorable reaction to a dog bed upgrade. Which is honestly understandable…the bed is more of a mini couch. Who wouldn’t be excited?
Winston’s mom, Ashley Jance, not only manages to capture the wholesome moment, but provide the perfect narration.
“This is my old bed… and THIS is my new bed!” Jance says as, indeed, we see Winson jump on one bed then bounds to the other, as though he were a kid on Christmas showing off his new toys.
And just like a kid, Winston doesn’t love the idea of sharing, as indicated by the playful growls when Dad tries to sit on his new plush throne.
“He’s like, ‘get up!’” Jance says through giggles.
Down in the comments, viewers seemed to catch Winston’s enthusiasm.
“I love this for you Winston!” one person exclaimed.
Another added, “that is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time.”
Of course, not all dogs might take to dog beds as happily as Winston did. A survey by the American Pet Products Association found that 62% of small dogs, 41% of medium-sized dogs and 32% of large dogs sleep with their owners.
But even for pups who don’t take to their own bed immediately, there are certain steps that can be taken to make the bed feel a bit more appealing. Mostly it takes establishing routine and safety along with some patience as a pet owner.
Or..maybe pet owners could just show their furry friends this video of Winston…because boy is his energy contagious.
By the way, if you’re interested in getting a dog bed just like Winston’s, they’re available on Amazon.
Kendrick Lamar is the self-proclaimed Boogeyman of rap, but does that extend to the comedian space. While the “Not Like Us” rapper’s feud with Drake is officially over, yesterday (May 17) his next foe might have stepped up to the plate during Saturday Night Live‘s season finale.
To go out with a bang, Colin Jost used the beloved ‘Weekend Update’ segment’s joke swap to rile things up for his co-anchor, Michael Che. As the duo traded off-kilter and at times outright insensitive lines, Che unknowingly walked directly into a potential feud with Kendrick while discussing the rapper’s recent war of words.
“And speaking of b*tches, I wanna call out the biggest b*tches of them all, Kendrick Lamar,” he joked. “Or should I say littlest? Your war with Drake may be over. But your war with Michael Che is just beginning. So, to quote ‘Hamilton,’ shoot your shot player.”
Based on Che’s hesitation to read the script, it is clear Che has kept up with Kendrick’s lethal lines. Although he didn’t want to poke the bear, seemingly out of fear of Kendrick’s reaction, Che was a good sport and powered through the hilarious callout. He then took a moment to praise Jost for the clever setup. “That was pretty well done,” he laughed.
The New York Knicks have not gotten much in the way of good injury news over the past few months. The team has seen more than half its main rotation suffer an injury of some form, with Julius Randle, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Mitchell Robinson all done for the season.
Earlier in their second round series with the Pacers, they saw OG Anunoby suffer a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the last four games, and Josh Hart suffered an abdominal injury in Game 6 that ended his night after 31 minutes — an extremely short stint for the Knicks’ iron man. With Game 7 looming on Sunday in the Garden, the Knicks were in need of some good news and got some as it sounds like both Anunoby and Hart will be in the lineup for the win-or-go-home battle.
ESPN Sources: New York’s OG Anunoby (hamstring strain) and Josh Hart (abdominal strain) are on course to play Game 7 vs. Indiana — with a final determination looming closer to 3:30 PM ET tip on ABC. Both will participate in walk-thru at MSG. https://t.co/uAeR2hpvZj
The home team has won every game in this series, with the last three all being blowout wins. The Knicks certainly needed some reinforcements if they wanted to continue that trend in Game 7 and getting Anunoby back and having Hart available is a big boost to their chances of punching a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. We’ll have to see how limited either of them are, but if they can be close to their usual selves, the Knicks will be a much more formidable out on Sunday afternoon.
Since Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit in November 2023, the public has continued to side eye Diddy. In the “” singer’s filing, she alleged that her ex-partner and former Bad Boy Record label head, physically and sexually abuse her. Although Diddy eventually settled the suit, he has maintained his innocence.
However, on May 17, footage obtained by CNN, seemingly validating one of Cassie’s physical abuse allegations listed in court documents. Today (May 19), Diddy took to his official Instagram page to seemingly issue a public apology to Cassie.
“It is really difficult to reflect on the darkest parts of your life,” he said. “But sometimes you gotta do that. I was f*cked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior in the video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”
Watch the full clip below.
In the comment section of Diddy’s post online, users are split on their response to Diddy’s apology.
For those who worried about The Walking Dead losing steam (and yes, those final few seasons of the principal series did drag), that fear has been put to rest with the three newest spin offs’ success in differing realms. Dead City veered into the more visceral side of the franchise, and The Ones Who Live did the same while crossing over into life-affirming territory. Whereas Daryl Dixon travelled around the world with the most endearing ass-kicker of the original crew while delivering genuinely funny scenarios amid ever-present peril.
Oh, and Daryl actually took a bath, too, which I thought would never happen. Later, the crossbow-wielding secret softie had a chance to hop onto a ship and travel back home, but he surprisingly chose to stick around, so let’s look at the clues so far on this spin off’s second season.
Plot
The first season finale revealed that Daryl (Norman Reedus) decided to heed the wishes of Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), who might be the second coming or something, and stay in France despite disappointing Sister Isabelle (Clémence Poésy), who had already asked him to do the same. That coincided with Carol (Melissa McBride) demanding answers from a-holes after realizing that Daryl’s bike had been appropriated with him nowhere to be found. Presumably, she will receive that information without too much trouble — ever since the terrifying Terminus arc, zero debate exists that Carol can perform daring rescue missions — and forge off to find her friend.
It’s a remarkable turn for those who wanted to see this show’s most incredible platonic duo back together, but it’s also a delicious development upon looking back at Carol’s entire trajectory. She went from an abused housewife to an outcast (thanks, Rick) to the fifth-season MVP. Carol never did lose that edge, not even while married to “King” Ezekiel, and if we fast forward to her latest mission, AMC’s official description for the Daryl and Carol show is as follows:
“[T]hey both confront old demons while she fights to find her friend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest.”
Will Carol land at the Nest? She does deserve a little rest and relaxation, and perhaps Daryl can peel a potato for her. I’d also like to see Carol knifing walker skulls with the Lourve in the background, although I’m not sure that this spin off’s characters will have a reason to return to Paris. We can hope for that and cross fingers that the circumstances of Carol’s travels are comfier than Daryl’s were while dozing atop a rowboat and washing ashore. More possible clues on that will be found in the casting section below.
Cast
Obviously, Reedus and McBride will be the main attraction, and we should see at least some of Clémence Poésy and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi. Additionally, the show has cast Manish Dayal for a recurring role. According to Deadline, The Resident actor will portray a Bostonian engineer whose locality lends some intrigue:
Dayal will play Ash, an engineer from Boston who moved to the family weekend house in Maine after the onset of the apocalypse. Ash lives by a strict schedule based mostly around his daily flights in a retrofitted single engine plane and mysterious visitations to his backyard greenhouse.
Does Ash end up in France as well, or will Daryl and Carol end up encountering him stateside? Maybe a more interesting hunch: he could be of service to Carol in her efforts to find Daryl — it is reasonable for a single-engine to cross the Atlantic, and it’s not like Carol will have too many options to choose from. Yeah, I like this theory.
Release Date
Expect the duo to reunite onscreen in Summer 2024. Hang tight for a firm date.
Trailer
No full trailer exists yet, but a teaser clip shows what Daryl is up to in France while Carol seeks answers about her friend.
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
10. The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power (Amazon series)
With the second season almost around the corner, there’s no time like the present for J.R.R. Tolkien junkies to reacquaint themselves with Middle-earth’s Second Age and a younger Galadriel even though some viewers have troubled over the somewhat wonky timeline shenanigans of this series. Still, Jeff Bezos wanted his Game of Thrones, and he is bound and determined to keep getting it, and refreshing on this show is also useful as a pre-game for the upcoming trilogy of new movies, including The Hunt for Gollum, directed by Andy Serkis and coming in 20226.
No Marvel movie wants to be compared to Morbius, but that’s precisely what happened here as soon as Dakota Johnson was heard uttering that line about researching spiders in the Amazon. It’s safe to say that this show will not receive a hopeful re-release in theaters like its Jared Leto-starring Sony predecessor, but there are still enough people that either want to watch ironically or simply see what the anti-hype was all about. Quite handily, Netflix has the movie as part of its streaming package.
8. Late Night With The Devil (IFC Films movie streaming on Shudder)
The found footage trend returns in the right way in this flick where David Dastmalchian shines in leading man mode after boosting the power of a zillion ensemble casts. He portrays Jack Delroy, who ends up inviting true evil on his late-night show in an attempt to resurrect his ratings from purgatory. Whether Delroy is speaking to his TV audience (such as it is), or Dastmalchian is winking and nodding to those of us in our real homes, this film is riveting while playfully batting around the horror tropes of yesteryear. It’s also the genre picture that appears to have the best lasting streaming power since M3GAN.
7. The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Lionsgate movie on VOD & Amazon Prime)
C’mon, who doesn’t want to see Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson take out Nazis? Guy Ritchie is blanketing every onscreen medium with his “gentlemen” fixation. This film didn’t make as much of a splash as hoped at the cinema, but it’s ideal for your home theater because you can miss Reacher by watching Ritchson pretend to not look like Reacher by wearing glasses. The ensemble cast includes Eiza González, Henry Golding, Alex Pettifer, Cary Elwes, and Inglorious Basterds co-star Til Schweiger.
Two words: Christina Hendricks. Her episode dropped this week, as well as a pseudo-bottle episode where Deborah and Ava take a walk in the woods. You know that was bound to go (not) well, right? Even though the show is back in Vegas, these two installments do a fine job of shaking up the venue, so that this season isn’t entirely set against a background of blackjack tables. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder also remain a pairing for the ages, literally and figuratively.
Man, Apple TV+ loves those trippy shows. This series adapts Blake Crouch’s New York Times bestseller and stars Joel Egerton as a physicist/professor who gets kidnapped by an alternate reality. He works to make it home while encountering other alternate lives, and this isn’t nearly as fun for him as it might sound on paper. Jennifer Connelly co-stars, and she probably won’t enjoy it much either when Egerton’s character has to save his own family from the Villain Dad that he has apparently become. So stressful.
Jerry Seinfeld has a comedy-chip on his shoulder lately, but he has nothing to complain about with the “cancel” talk because this (mediocre) movie about 1960s Pop-Tart inception has been faring quite well with streaming clicks. Then again, sometimes it’s nice to check out and watch breakfast-snack food’s origin story that has zero consequence. Yes, the jokes feel cringeworthy much of the time, but there’s still a buffet of Bill Burr, Maria Bakalova, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, and Hugh Grant on the table. The former sitcom king somehow still has “it” when it comes to audience attraction.
Richard Gadd’s rising fame is both a plus and minus these days. He’s also plowing full steam ahead on his next series, Lions, but this stunning Netflix series is staying hot despite the incredibly troublesome and harrowing subject matter. Some of the events depicted here likely resonate with many viewers, but what’s more remarkable is that Gadd, as “Donny,” has laid his own experiences on the table in this adaptation of his one-man show that won’t be leaving your brain. It’s not exactly a true-crime series, but the public’s fascination with the based-on-real-life story could arguably qualify it as such.
This story is totally not based on Harry Styles but is, yes, pretty much based on Harry Styles in his One Direction days. Nicholas Galitzine portrays the pop singer who falls for a cool Coachella mom because, c’mon, she looks exactly like Anne Hathaway. Readers of Robinne Lee’s May-December novel have been pleased by the leading pair’s chemistry and the escapism while romance seems to be ruling in May like it’s February or something.
Only this Netflix juggernaut could unseat Baby Reindeer on its own streaming service. This season updates us on Kanthony’s scratch marks and puts Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in courtship mode. Nicola Coughlan has a f*ck-you nude scene, and only four episodes dropped so far because Netflix is having a ball with suspense. The Lady Whistledown stuff could grow complicated soon, and we’ll see more next month. Until then, enjoy the abundance of corsets and be glad that they are not in fashion now.
This summer, everyone’s trying to serve looks. And while retailers like Shein and Temu may be tempting, given their low prices and modern aesthetics, there’s a lot of controversy surrounding the production processes of these fast fashion retailers. In a sketch from tonight’s (May 18) episode of Saturday Night Live, host Jake Gyllenhaal and the cast are surprised to learn how these clothes and accessories are made.
In the clip, Ego Nwodim asks “how so cheap?” after the commercial’s narrator lists off prices — to which the narrator replies “Don’t worry about it.”
Elsewhere in the commercial, the narrator says shoppers can purchase “Designer dupes. No prisoners involved.”
Confused, Gyllenhaal asks, “Did there used to be or something? Why bring it up?”
But these aren’t the only suss parts of the fictional Xiemu line. When Chloe Fineman removes a necklace, we see that the material has given her a rash. We also see clothes fall off of Marcello Hernandez, despite Xiemu’s claims of being made from the “best materials.”
Gyllenhaal also finds a note inside his jacket pocket, however, a producer quickly snatches the note before he can read it.
“That’s a thank you note from a happy worker,” says the narrator.
Sabrina Carpenter has quite the catalog of pop hits. Her debut as a Saturday Night Live musical guest made for an evening of bops galore. In her second performance of the night, Carpenter delivered an angelic performance of her hit single, “Feather”
Dressed in a rose gold one-piece garment bedecked with feathers, Carpenter took command of the stage, with smooth, flowing movements. Her dancers, dressed in white, matched her energy and created a flawless aesthetic.
“Feather” then transitioned into another one of her hit singles, “Nonsense.” The lights then changed color, creating a more intimate mood. “Nonsense” went viral earlier this year, as Carpenter performed the song during her opening slot on Taylor Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour.
During each performance, Carpenter changed the lyrics to the song’s outro, tying it the city in which she was performing. Many times, the outro was rife with sexual innuendos. And for her first time on SNL, she decided to commemorate the performance in a special way.
Tonight (May 18), pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter made her debut on Saturday Night Live as the season 49 finale’s musical guest. Her performance is more timely than ever, as she is currently climbing the charts with her hit single, “Espresso.” As she says on the song, “I’m working late, ’cause I’m a singer,” and she certainly put in the work for this special late night performance.
While on stage, Carpenter sits at a bar, appropriately sipping an espresso martini. She hops off of a barstool, hitting the dance floor as she holds onto each spark of energy. She moves to the group in smooth syncopation with her dancers, who are dressed as staffers of a luxurious hotel bar. Dressed in a lacy red top, Carpenter can’t stay asleep, and she’s passing along that energy to the fans.
— Updates Sabrina Brasil (@UpdatesBrinaBR) May 19, 2024
Carpenter has a knack for coming up with pop hits, and “Espresso” has shown to be one of her biggest so far. With a catchy bass line and ’80s-inspired synths, “Espresso” is sure to be the song of the summer. The song is currently sitting at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is expected to shoot up. Now, that’s that her-espresso!
49 is big number. Tonight (May 18), Saturday Night Live closed out its 49th season with a bang. Though finishing 49 seasons is a huge milestone, tonight’s host Jake Gyllenhaal was seemingly hoping to be in the running to host the premiere of season 50, which will take place later this year.
But of course, Gyllenhaal was determined to make this finale special. Near the end of his opening monologue, Gyllenhaal broke out into song — a special rework of Boyz II Men‘s ’90s classic, “End Of The Road.”
During his cover, Gyllenhaal surprised the audience with his pipes, delivering strong vocals as he hilariously jokes that Pedro Pascal and Ryan Gosling were asked to host this episode before him (even though they have both previously hosted this past season).
While Gyllenhaal was captivating the audience with his singing, a few of the cast members elevated the performance.
Punkie Johnson, Ego Nwodim, Kenan Thompson, and Devon Walker joined in, giving the song additional harmonies, taking it to the next level.
Although a hosting slot for the season 50 premiere of SNL is highly coveted, the quality of this opening monologue is going to be hard to match.
You can watch Gyllenhaal’s full opening monologue above.
