Eilish’s representatives confirmed the breakup to Page Six: “We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends.” The reps also asserted that any cheating allegations as the reason for their split are “false.”
Peoplealso confirmed the news with the same statement from Eilish’s representatives: “We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends. All cheating rumors are false. Both are currently single.”
Rutherford’s representatives have not released a statement, and Eilish nor Rutherford have personally publicly acknowledged the breakup. In fact, a specific reason hasn’t been publicly identified yet at all.
Per Page Six and People, Eilish and Rutherford’s last public appearance was at Coachella in April.
Being a parent is a full time job but without the money and health benefits. Kissing scrapped knees, planning meals, scheduling doctor appointments, extracurricular activities, PTO meetings, the list could go on for days. But in today’s society many women with children not only work inside the home but outside as well because a two income household is necessary in many cases. So why are moms leaving their marriages to do it all on their own?
Divorce attorney, Dennis Vetrano Jr. posted a video to TikTok that has over 7.4 million views, explaining the rise of working moms filing for divorce. The revelation came as no surprise to women or other divorce attorneys who commented under Vetrano’s video but it may be surprising to some men.
You know how there’s that saying that girls mature faster than boys, the initiation of divorce by working moms may be a continuation of that notion.
“I’m seeing working moms doing it all, and I’m seeing the husbands step back and say, huh I don’t gotta do a thing. She’s got the kids, she’s got the groceries, she’s got the laundry, she’s got the meals, she’s got the work,” Vetrano says. “That’s the theme and women are tired.”
Over the past few decades women have taken on more roles outside of the home out of necessity and desire but their load inside the home hasn’t decreased. The wives Vetrano is speaking about have partners who haven’t caught up with the evolution of roles. Essentially still living like the 50s expecting their wives to take care of all household responsibilities while ignoring the fact that their wives work outside of the home just like they do.
“We even filed the divorce, find the attorney, created the child custody schedule,” one woman wrote.
“After my divorce I had one less child to take care of. Leveled up,” another commented.
“I will never forget the day I said ‘if i’m doing it all by myself, I might as well be by myself,'” someone else wrote.
Another divorce lawyer even chimed in saying that her clients who are women are often much happier after divorce. It certainly makes you wonder about the maturity theme here. Not in the way of men being immature but women adapting much more quickly to societal shifts as some men struggle to keep up or even see the correlation that leads to divorce.
Take a look at the video below and if you’re feeling extra adventurous, check out the comments under the main video to see if you agree with the sentiments women are expressing.
On Tuesday, it appeared that George Santos’ wild stint in the House of Representatives was beginning to come to an end. Democrats introduced a motion to hold a vote on whether or not to expel the serial fabulist from the chamber. It was unlikely to succeed; expulsion requires a two-thirds supermajority. What would happen is that anyone who voted to keep the sketchy and already indicted lawmaker would be on the record. But the GOP found another way to avoid responsibility.
The vote to scotch the vote was done along party lines. But why would the House GOP stand up for a guy who fibbed his way into a government gig and who was charged last week with 13 counts of, among other crimes, wire fraud, unlawful monetary transactions, stealing public funds, and lying on financial disclosures? The Times speculates it’s because Republicans hold such a slim majority in the chamber that they can’t even afford to lose a guy who makes up stories about being a college volleyball champ.
And so Santos lives to see another stretch of time at a job he lied to get, and House GOP members can continue having to take a stand on someone who tried to hide that he was once a drag queen.
A person who prefers the single cheeseburger over a big juicy double is sort of like a person who likes hamburgers over cheeseburgers — f*cking weird. I’m sorry if that’s mean but I have a hard time understanding why the single fast food cheeseburger is even a thing. If you’re making a burger at home, or hitting up a restaurant I get it, there is no need for a double when you’re dealing with some thick and meaty patties, but the typical fast food cheeseburger is paper thin, throwing off the meat–cheese-bun ratio. They’re almost always too bready and certainly not cheesy enough.
Some fast food restaurants, particularly the local chain variety (Jims, Douglas, Louis, Tams — whatever your city’s equivalent is) have gargantuan cheeseburgers that most people can’t take down in a single sitting. But even at those establishments, I’d rather order a double and split it in half with a friend than grab a single. The single cheeseburger, as far as I’m concerned, is a joke. Which of course got me wondering:
Could any fast food chain prove me wrong? Who actually makes the greatest single cheeseburger in all of fast food?
To get to the bottom of this, I put five single cheeseburgers from my five favorite fast food burger spots to the blind taste test to see if any of them could blow me away.
Methodology:
For this burger experiment, I zeroed in on five different stock cheeseburgers from a mix of fast casual and fast food restaurants. These five burger brands represent, in our opinion, the best of the best in the fast food landscape. The five brands we picked have routinely ranked in the top tier of our various double cheeseburger rankings, so presumably, the single cheeseburgers should also be delicious.
Because I wanted fair parameters, I opted against obscure burger builds and secret menu items with one exception. Here are the burgers we’re working with:
McDonald’s — Quarter Pounder
Five Guys — Patty Melt
In-N-Out — Single Cheeseburger
Shake Shack — Shack Burger
Wendy’s — Dave’s Single
So why Five Guys’ Patty melt over a regular Five Guys single cheeseburger? Because the patty melt uses the exact same bun, but flips it inwards, and the result is a significantly better burger (see our single review here). It won’t cost you more, it’s essentially the same burger, but better — so who is getting hurt here?
Because most of these burger restaurants aren’t right next to each other like the other restaurants in our fast food blind taste tests, it would’ve been impossible to make it home in time without the burgers getting soggy and cold, so I ate them at a local park. As an additional measure, I ordered each burger without sauce so they wouldn’t get too soggy in transit. That’s going to make each burger drier, but it’ll give the other ingredients an opportunity to really shine.
Once the five burgers were rounded up, I wore a blindfold and had my girlfriend cut each burger in half, and pass me each at random (I photographed the remaining half after the fact). I recorded some voice notes of my initial impressions, and once I had tasted all of them, ranked ’em from worst tasting to best. Here are the results.

Meaty and salty, I’m getting a pronounced American cheese flavor here that pairs nicely with the beefy flavor, which is very present despite this being a single cheeseburger. The tomato adds a blast of freshness, but this lettuce is terrible, it waters the burger down and drowns out some of the flavor.
I’m getting a small hint of onion in this one, not really enough to be prominent in each bite but enough to give a subtle spicy kick on the aftertaste.
Taste 2:
Dane Rivera
The beef here is overcooked, it’s dry and mealy. This is the sort of burger that obviously uses sauce to hide that. It’s cheesy and beefy with brine-y pickle notes and a very sharp onion finish. I don’t love this one, but I think it works as a single, it packs a lot of flavor.
Taste 3:
Dane Rivera
Wonderfully savory, the last two burgers gave me a sense that I was wrong to think single cheeseburgers were a waste of time but this one really seals the deal. The beef is juicy and bursting with flavor with each bite. The cheese has more complexity than Taste 1 and Taste 2, aside from being salty it has a sweet-almost-buttery vibe.
The lettuce and tomato combination are salad fresh, the tomato imparts a nice sumptuous umami flavor that pairs well with some caramelized notes on the beef. The real star though is that bun, it’s soft, sweet, and a bit gummy, it’s not dry at all, almost like a Hawaiian sweet roll. I think we might have a winner on our hands here.
Taste 4:
Dane Rivera
I spoke too soon, this burger is even more of a flavor bomb than the last. It doesn’t have the same complexity, the tomatoes and lettuce are barely noticeable, but what you get instead is rich beefy flavors, complex and rich caramelized onion notes, perfectly melted cheese, and a buttery bun that is toasted and crispy, yet soft on the inside, altogether combining for a perfect savory bite.
It’s not as elegant as Taste 3, and it’s getting all over my hands and face, but from a flavor perspective, it’s a home run.
Taste 5:
c
Right off the bat, this bun is over-toasted. I feel like I’m eating a straight-up piece of morning toast, when I bite into it there is an audible crunch. I don’t like that. From a flavor perspective, it’s very good — it’s salty with easily the best-caramelized onion flavor of the lot, the lettuce is very prominent, and the tomato imparts a lot of juiciness, which makes up for the lack of sauce.
But where is the beef? I’m just not getting enough of it. What is there is good, but this desperately needs to be a double. It’s going to be hard to rank this one, the flavor is great, but the form factor is all off.
Part 2: The Burger Ranking
5. McDonald’s — Quarter Pounder (Taste 2)
Dane Rivera
Maybe it’s the lack of sauce but I’m pretty sure either way this burger would’ve ranked last. It’s just too dry in comparison to the competition, and now that I know it’s McDonald’s that makes a whole lot of sense. Of the five fast food burgers we ate, this is the only one that uses flash-frozen patties.
Aside from the dry meat, it just feels like the other ingredients are doing too much of the heavy lifting. Too much onion, too many pickles, when I order a burger I want the meat to be the star of the show. This one fails that so it’s ranking last.
The Bottom Line:
As a single cheeseburger, it works, but at the end of the day, it was the beef that held this one back in comparison to the other four.
I ride hard for the Dave’s Single and because it uses fresh beef I thought it had a chance against the fast-casual chains but… it doesn’t. In this case it’s not the beef that holds this burger back, it’s everything else. The lettuce and tomato here are too watery, the bun is thick and bready, and the pickles and onions are flavorful, but not enough to really compete with what the other burgers offer.
The Bottom Line:
In the landscape of big national fast food chains, Wendy’s probably makes the best single cheeseburger you can buy. But against the fast casual chains that specialize in burgers, this one just lacks complexity.
In-N-Out is my favorite burger chain so this one hurts but the experience of eating this single cheeseburger is probably why I think single cheeseburgers are a waste of time in the first place. It just doesn’t work. The beef is way too thin, so what you end up with is a lot of bread, lettuce, tomato, and onion flavor.
All of those individual ingredients are good but that doesn’t matter when it drowns out all the beef flavor.
The Bottom Line:
At In-N-Out, you have to get a Double Double. Period.
Shake Shack was so close to taking the number one spot here (the Shack won our Double Cheeseburger Challenge). I have no complaints about this burger, it was near perfect. Each ingredient delivered here but the true highlight was that perfectly cooked beef patty. It was rich, complex, and featured a perfect Maillard reaction-type crust.
It’s also considerably thick, Shake Shack’s burger has a pretty small footprint in comparison to the other burgers we tasted but the patty itself is very thick and meaty — this allows for a nice meat-cheese-bun ratio.
The Bottom Line:
A perfect burger, every element delivers but it’s not quite as decadent as our number one choice and decadence wins.
Is it wrong to give what is essentially a patty melt the number one spot in a single cheeseburger ranking? Nope. At the end of the day, the best single cheeseburger you can order is from Five Guys. I mean, is it really even a patty melt when it’s the same bun just flipped inside out? We don’t think so… not quite, at least.
If you’re scratching your head about how to order this, it’s easy, just ask for “grilled cheese, add a patty, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato,” and bam, you’ve got a burger that rivals Five Guys’ Little Cheeseburger in every single way.
While I don’t think the beef is quite as delicious as Shake Shack’s, the toasted bun takes the whole experience to the next level thanks to the savory and salty buttery flavor that greets your tastebuds on each bite. Couple that with the insane amount of cheese and you have a decadent burger that satisfies your tastebuds as much as any double or bacon cheeseburger ever could.
The Bottom Line:
The best single cheeseburger in fast food is a slight menu hack, but once you try it you’ll never turn back. This burger is so good it can rival any double cheeseburger in the fast food universe. It comes across as more decadent, savory, and enjoyable than any simple double-meat cheeseburger in the fast food landscape.
If you want rich flavor and a decadent experience but don’t want all the extra meat, this is the move.

Mandy Patinkin has been busy these days. He’s not been acting; he’s been picketing with Writers Guild of America strikers. He’s good at signs, too. The one he’s been using reads, “You killed residuals. Prepare to pay.” It’s a reference to his most famous line as Inigo Montoya, the vengeful fencing master of The Princess Bride. But the actor and singer took some time out from demanding a better WGA contract to roast Elon Musk…for weirdly invoking The Princess Bride.
On Tuedsay, the Tesla/Space X/Twitter top dog gave a pretty bonkers interview with CNBC’s David Faber. At one point they discussed Musk’s recent dodgy tweet about George Soros, who he compared to Magneto, the X-Men villain who, like the progressive billionaire, is a Holocaust survivor. Faber asked Musk why on earth anyone, let alone the second richest person on the planet, would tweet something that could easily be read as an anti-Semitic dog whistle. After a long, awkward pause, Musk decided to (mis)quote a movie.
“There’s a scene in The Princess Bride — great movie — where [Montoya] confronts the person who killed his father,” Muskl replied. “And he says, ‘Offer me money. Offer me power. I don’t care.’”
He then got to his point, sort of: “I’ll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, then so be it.”
That’s…not really the point of the scene, in which Montoya and Christopher Guest’s villainous, six-fingered villain Count Rugen square off. Rugen is responsible for killing Montoya’s father. They duel. Montoya bests Rugen. Rugen tries to barter with him. Montoya asks him to give him his father back before driving him through with his sword. It’s all about revenge and grief and wanting the impossible. It has nothing to do with wanting to say whatever you want and balking at any consequences.
So Patinkin let Must know he was wrong, and on the social media service he owns, no less. “I do not think it means what you think it means,” he tweeted while sharing video of the exchange.
It’s not the first a Princess Bride cast member has torched someone from the right wing, which Musk is increasingly becoming. Ted Cruz, who counts it as his favorite movie, knows full well that another of its stars, Cary Elwes, hates his guts.

Along with its annual updates, expansive play modes, and increasingly realistic graphics, the NBA 2K franchise is best known for its soundtracks, which highlight both rising stars and top talent with its in-game menus and gameplay background tunes. The newest update for the current edition, NBA 2K23, has taken things a step further, bringing in talented West Coast artist Blxst and his label, Evgle, to curate the season 7 soundtrack.
In addition to a pair of tracks from Blxst’s March EP Just For Clarity 2 — “Passionate” featuring Roddy Ricch and “Keep Calling” featuring Larry June — the new soundtrack also includes a number of tracks featuring Blxst, such as Babyface Ray’s 2022 single “Spend It,” and showcases label member Jay Millian with his new single “Baby.”
“IDC” by Jordan Ward and “Progress” by Westside Webb put the spotlight on more rising artists, while the last two tracks are big-name standouts: Benny the Butcher‘s 2020 track “Trade It All” and “Stop Breathing” from Roddy Ricch’s latest project, Feed The Streets III.
In a press release, Blxst said, “I’m excited to have Evgle included on the NBA 2K23 soundtrack simply because it’s a childhood dream. I can speak for most of us in saying that we grew up playing this game. So, to be a part of this is mind-blowing and it’s crazy how music bridges the gap. These songs were hand-picked by me and the Evgle team because this is what we like to listen to get inspired. I like to look at myself as a tastemaker and each artist on this playlist is a different ingredient to the soundtrack of my lifestyle right now.”
After premiering in the game this Friday, May 19, and remaining game exclusive through the weekend, the soundtrack will hit DSPs on Tuesday, May 23 along with Millian’s single.
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are reuniting on-screen for the first time since their Neighbors run ended with their Apple TV+ comedy series, Platonic. This is the kind of news that should be scrolling on the CNN chyron. Plastered on Time Square billboards. Trending in that Twitter sidebar absolutely no one pays attention to.
It’s the kind of news that should make the entire nation collectively pause, and the workings of world governments grind to a halt. To celebrate. To raise their middle fingers to the “strike proof” TV programming that thought to entertain us with reality dating shows about geriatric bachelors. You can keep your televised retirement home orgies Disney because Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen are bro-ing it out onscreen once more.
But, sadly, no one’s taken to the streets, nude and carrying their recently purchased artisanally-crafted pottery bongs to mark the occasion because Apple TV+ has really skimped on their promotional efforts for this thing. In fact, with just a week until the show premieres, fans are still Googling its streaming release date. It’s shameful really. A true injustice we intend to fix right now.
Apple TV+’s Platonic premieres May 24th on the streaming platform.
Oh, you need to know more? How about this: Platonic is a sharp buddy comedy helmed by Neighbors director Nicholas Stoller that sees Byrne and Rogen playing two former best friends who rekindle their bond at the worst time and kind of destroy their lives in the process. The first three episodes will be available upon its release with new episodes airing weekly thereafter.
Simply speaking, no, you don’t need to watch the original White Man Can’t Jump before checking out the remake starring Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls. Like most reboots, the film will tell its own story while pulling familiar elements from the original movie that aren’t necessary to know. Could those elements help with the appreciation of in-jokes and easter eggs? Sure, but they’re not a necessity.
That said, watching the original film is never a bad idea because it’s just a downright good movie. Harrelson and Snipes have incredible chemistry on-screen, and you know it’s an enduring film because Hollywood couldn’t resist trying to remake it.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow makes his movie debut as Jeremy, a former star of the game whose injuries stalled his career, and Sinqua Walls stars as Kamal, once a promising player who derailed his own future in the sport. Juggling tenuous relationships, financial pressures and serious internal struggles, the two ballers–opposites who are seemingly miles apart–find they might have more in common than they imagined possible.
White Man Can’t Jump premieres May 19 on Hulu.
Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
