Buying a second one as a backup, just in case. Very sturdy for pushing HARD on tight jaw muscles; I also use the bottom to target knots!" —BiffPrice: $9.99

A broom gripper if your broom is always one false move from falling over in your current storage. These strips, like all Command products, go up in a flash and will probably outlast your broom if you're installing them correctly.
Promising review: "These are great. I hated the way my brooms and mops were always sliding down. It looked messy all the time. My daughter had them in her storage area, so I decided to give them a try. They're easy to install, and then just a short wait time until they're ready to use. Definitely would recommend them!" –AntsgammaPrice: $7.99
A rimmed cookie sheet because, for real, you don't want a cookie rn? Like... rn, rn? Toss out your cruddy old baking sheets, and know that your perfectly crisped cookies will slide right off once cooled (not to mention the pan can go straight in the dishwasher, unlike certain pan materials).

Just make sure to use a clear, short glass for maximum effect.
Promising review: "I have a basic fridge that doesn't make ice, so I was looking for something to make my own cubes rather than buying bags all the time. I'm not a fan of smaller cubes that melt quickly and dilute your drink, so I thought I'd try these. Love these big cubes! I use them with a vacuum-sealed metal tumbler cup, and these cubes will still be almost full-size in my cup the next day. I also like that the cubes can stack easily in a big Tupperware in my freezer. It's pretty easy to get the cubes out if you let them sit for just a moment after you remove the tray from the freezer." –SheenaL83Price: $7.99

A luxurious Milani lip oil packed with vitamin E and an entire cornucopia's worth of fruit extracts that delivers hydration and shine with none of the stickiness of other brands. If your go-to lip look is more of a suggestion of color, the same way LaCroix is kind of a suggestion of flavor, this oil is for you.
Promising review: "This is an elite lip oil in my book. I've tried lip oils from other brands, and they've been drying or given me some sort of reaction. Milani's lip oils are moisturizing, comfortable, and have a beautiful, glossy look. Plus, the colors/scents/flavors are so good! I purchased the raspberry agave, and I love it for fall." —LesleyPrice: $9.19 (available in 11 colors/scents)
A refreshing room spray to quell the nonstop stress of 21st-century life (as well as cover up the smell of that stray sock which escaped from the hamper during last week's laundry).

This mug is both microwave- and dishwasher safe.Promising review: "I cannot believe they get away with selling this for under $10. It's hefty and of incredible quality, not to mention the absolutely adorable design!" —KelseyPrice: $8
A set of cabinet bumpers, because nothing destroys a peaceful vibe faster than the Ka-THUNK, Ka-THUNK of a roommate/family member rummaging around for a bag of popcorn. Take this sentiment and multiply it by 10,000 if the time happens to be 2 a.m. or later.
Promising review: 'Just what I needed! These are great. Just moved into a new condo, and they didn't put enough of these on the walls near the kitchen cabinets. I think they're always good to have on hand, so I was glad to find them at Target.' —jboo Price: $4.79 for a pack of 20
A cute notebook to log all your thoughts and automatically elevate your diary entries to chic. This beautiful floral-motif notebook will give safe harbor to every stray thought, doodle, or much-needed vent session.
Promising review: "Very cute and well made!" —Syd LPrice: $4.99
A cat food cover, which boasts three built-in sizes to fit a variety of cans/products. Because Whiskers deserves only the best and most immaculately maintained delicacies to grace his/her foodbowl (and you deserve to keep the wretched stink of cat food sealed away from all your precious human foods).
Promising review: "I have several cats with different diets of wet food. We've been using sandwich bags or Tupperware to keep leftovers fresh, but using both has its issues. With this cover, it cuts down on waste. Apparently, no past food smell to put them off food, and it is easy to wash. It has three different sizes within the silicone cover. The sizes are fixed within, so there is no loss of the ones not in use. It fits well and snugly on cans 2.9 ounces and 5.5 ounces. Buy this right away to keep your fur baby's food fresh.

If you want to show off your products, keep the sight lines nice and clear, but mostly just keep this stuff from falling in the sink (!!) these trays will go a long way to getting your vanity back to presentable.
Promising review: "These stackable, modular organizers are wonderful. I have mixed and matched the different sizes inside my bathroom medicine cabinet to hold makeup, skincare, tooth care, scrunchies, etc. These are easy to grab, put down on my counter, use the items, and return. The clear acrylic makes it easy to see where things are, especially on higher shelves. I'm obsessed." —MaliaPrice: $5+ (available in five sizes)
A coiled rope basket, since no one's ever heard of having too much storage, especially when it looks this chic and stays so accessible. Whether it's a blanket basket by the couch or very glam toilet paper storage, this basket will look good in any room it finds itself in.
Promising review: "This basket is well made and decorative! It can be used as a plant basket, catchall, storage, and more. Its colors are neutral, allowing it to go with any style. Though this is a small basket, it is very roomy. Highly recommend." —bwilkes9Price: $10
A 12-pack of Shout stain remover wipes to make sure that you have the most effective, elegant go-to for that red wine that just trickled down your favorite white shirt. Because the only thing more fabulous than never dirtying an all-white ensemble is to shrug off a spill and say, "Hand me my bag, it's no big deal." Can you tell that I'm a Virgo?
Promising review: 'A must-buy! I bought these yesterday to keep in my purse while we travel (and for everyday stains). Today, my son got injured and had dried blood on his shirt. It took the stains completely off without any effort. I am so impressed!!! This is a night and day difference to other competing products.' —Klup Price: $4.99

Promising review: 'Perfect! Unless people are trying to sew concrete, I'm confused on why there are a handful of negative reviews. During a business trip, the hem of my dress pants unraveled in the crotch region. Fortunately, we were near a Target, and I was able to patch up my hole in under 20 minutes. Definitely will keep this in my carry-on moving forward!' —FrequentFlyer Price: $6.99

First Look at ‘Nobody Wants This' Season 2 Sees Adam Brody and Kristen Bell Still in Love

Hot rabbi is back. Netflix has unveiled the first-look images of the highly anticipated second season of Nobody Wants This. And the photos show Noah (Adam Brody) and Joanne (Kristen Bell) looking cozy and in love, Joanne sitting on the sidelines to watch Noah's Matzah Ballers play basketball, and Joanne continuing to podcast with her sister, Morgan (Justine Lupe). More from The Hollywood Reporter Helen Mirren on Finding Time to Do It All and Why She Doesn't Plan to Retire Anytime Soon 'Night Always Comes' Review: Vanessa Kirby Gets Put Through the Wringer in Netflix's Grim Neo-Noir Odyssey Pete Davidson Calls Out the Media for Obsessing Over His D*** Size Noah and Joanne seem to be doing well, following the end of season one, which left questions about what their future together would look like, as Joanne was hesitant to convert to Judaism, despite Noah's promotion to head rabbi. However, it ended with a kiss, which left viewers wondering if he would choose love over a career, and if the relationship could survive if Joanne doesn't change her mind. Notably missing from the first-look photos is Leighton Meester. In February, it was announced she was cast in the forthcoming season to play Joanne's former middle school nemesis, who is now an Instagram mommy influencer, Abby. Her addition to the cast is also a Gossip Girl reunion, as Meester starred as Blair Waldorf in the CW series, which Bell narrated. Meester is also married to Brody in real life. The official season two synopsis reads, 'First comes love, then comes life. The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne (Bell) and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah (Brody), their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they're back and fully committed to merging their lives — and loved ones — together. But their differences still exist and can't be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.' In addition to Meester, guest stars this season include Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky and Arian Moayed. The executive producers for Nobody Wants This include Erin Foster, Steven Levitan, Bell, Sara Foster, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Jenni Konner and Nora Silver. Oly Obst exec produces for 3arts. Kaplan and Konner serve as its showrunners. And 20th Television produces the series. Season two is slated to hit the streamer on Oct. 23 and has 10 episodes.

Jackie Kennedy's Emotional Final Letter to JFK Jr. Revealed in New Documentary ‘American Prince'

CNN's new John F. Kennedy Jr. documentary unearthed a heartbreaking final letter that Jackie Kennedy wrote to her son days before her 1994 death from cancer. Family friend Gary Ginsberg revealed in the three-episode docuseries American Prince that, while Jackie was on her deathbed, she shared encouraging words for her then 33-year-old son about his place in their family's grand political legacy. 'I understand the pressure you'll forever have to endure as a Kennedy even though we brought you into this world as an innocent,' Jackie wrote to John. 'You, especially, have a place in history, no matter what course in life you choose.' She poignantly concluded, 'All I can ask is that you continue to make me, the Kennedy family and yourself proud.' Why JFK Jr. Didn't Call William and Harry After Princess Diana's Death Despite Wife Carolyn's Plea Jackie was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December 1993 and immediately underwent a course of chemotherapy. This treatment was ultimately ineffective, as the cancer spread to Jackie's spinal cord, brain and liver by March 1994. Jackie died in May 1994, only a few days after she confirmed in a press release that she was stopping all treatment. The former first lady's diagnosis came at the same time as her nephew Anthony Radziwill had a recurrence of testicular cancer. In American Prince, Anthony's wife, Carole Radziwill, opened up about how Jackie and Anthony broke the news about their respective cancer diagnoses to one another in the same phone call. (Anthony died from cancer less than a month after John, his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Bessette were killed in a plane crash near Martha's Vineyard in July 1999.) 'I remember [Anthony] saying, 'OK, you go first.' Then, [Jackie] said, 'I have bad news that I've been diagnosed with lymphoma,'' Carole, 61, recalled. 'The end [for Jackie] came pretty quickly. I remember it was a Sunday when we all were together, and [by] Thursday, she passed away.' Carole looked back on how Jackie's death impacted John, as his mother had been very assertive over the lawyer-turned-magazine editor's career and dating choices throughout his lifetime. 'John and Jackie, they were really close,' Carole said. 'He was heartbroken and it was a very hard time for him, but there was almost, I would say, an emancipation [after Jackie's death]. I think, for the first time, he felt free to do what he wanted to do in a way that he wouldn't have when his mom was alive. A lot of good came out of that.' Jackie never got to meet her future daughter-in-law, Carolyn, as the couple had not gone public with their budding romance by the time the former first lady died in May 1994. Later in American Prince, Carole reflected on how neither she nor Carolyn ever truly felt like they fit in with the Kennedy clan. Cheryl Hines Tells Husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That Late Mother 'Was Very Proud of You' 'It's a big family, and like all big families, there's a lot of politics and quirks that you just have to learn. Maybe John's family more than other families,' Carole admitted. 'There was a higher expectation and [Carolyn] didn't play the game. She didn't suck up to anyone, no one in his family.' The RHONY alum then explained, 'Carolyn and I came from a very similar background. I grew up very from humble beginnings, like working class, upstate New York. Her mom was a single mom raising three daughters in a very working-class neighborhood. I think we felt like a real sisterhood because of it. We were like the ultimate outsiders.' American Prince premieres on CNN Saturday, August 9, at 9 p.m. ET, with new episodes continuing each Saturday through August 23. Solve the daily Crossword

13 Times Rich Celebs Insulted Or Complained About People Who Make Wayyy Less Money Than Them

Plenty of famous people worked "normal" jobs before making it big. However, once they reach a certain level of wealth — or if they were born into it — they sometimes seemingly forget that people working non-Hollywood jobs deserve just as much respect. Here are 13 times rich celebs were disrespectful towards people working "normal" jobs and got called out: 2019, Lizzo wrongly accused a Postmates delivery driver of taking her food. In a since-deleted (but very public tweet), she said, "Hey @Postmates this girl Tiffany W. stole my food. she lucky I don't fight no more." Postmates Support replied, "Hi! We're sorry to hear you've had a less than satisfactory experience on our app. Would you mind DM'ing the email address linked to your account, so we can look further into this for you?" A spokesperson told Page Six that the driver actually did show up and waited for five minutes. However, after being unable to get ahold of Lizzo, she had to move on. In her replies, people took the driver's side, advising Lizzo that publicly putting her on blast probably wasn't the best idea: Twitter: @animeicon420 Lizzo ended up apologizing, tweeting, "I apologize for putting that girl on blast. I understand I have a large following and that there were so many variables that could've put her in danger. Imma really be more responsible with my use of social media and check my petty and my pride at the door." Tiffany ended up suing Lizzo for emotional distress, libel, and false light invasion of privacy. In her lawsuit, she said that she "feared for her physical safety" and got "direct threats of violence." She also said that she was "scared to leave her house and as a result was forced to stop delivering as a courier altogether." The suit said, "[Lizzo] knew or should have known that her false and defamatory statements would be republished over and over by lacked reasonable grounds for any belief in the truth of her statements and acted negligently in failing to determine the true facts...[She] acted with actual malice and reckless disregard for the truth when she tweeted the false statements of or concerning [Tiffany]." Julia Stiles was a student at Columbia in 2001, she went on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and called the campus cafeteria workers "mole people." Related: The entire campus was upset with her remark. In the Columbia Spectator, the student newspaper, an editorial writer called her a "sloe-eyed Hollywood wench" in retaliation. In a Columbia Spectator op-ed of her own, Julia said, "I have received a lot of criticism, both to my face and in print, about flippant comments I made while appearing on talk shows to promote Save the Last Dance. I was denigrated in one Columbia media outlet and nearly slandered in another, all because I made a joke about the dining hall on national television. Talk shows require a pre-interview, where the guest is grilled for funny the case of my appearance, I was asked about the quality of food at school and told to exaggerate for the sake of comedy. Granted, I was not forced to say anything, but under the circumstances I wanted to get through the interview alive. Having every comment examined under such heavy scrutiny has made me consider the repercussions of what I say. I have apologized in writing to the dining staff; they seem to understand that I wasn't commenting on any particular person. They understand that it is a very common, if not clichéd, joke to poke fun at cafeteria food. Adam Sandler did it, and so did a writer for an on-campus publication that took issue with my comments. I didn't realize that so many Columbia students have made it their cause to go crusading for Dining Services. I also didn't realize that the way to criticize thoughtless jokes was to may be attempting humor to get in good with your audience, but even lunch ladies and Hollywood wenches have feelings." Then, in 2019, she told Glamour UK, "I went on late night talk show; I think it was Conan O'Brien or David Letterman. I was in college at the time and I was talking about college life and they asked me if I ate in the cafeteria like a normal kid. I rambled on because I was insecure and I think I used the term, 'mole people.' But my thought was there was an Adam Sandler song at the time where there was a character on a sketch comedy show where he was playing the lunch lady and she had a hairnet and a mole. It backfired on a very immediate level. The people I was in school with were furious with me. Someone wrote in the school newspaper, 'she's an elitist! How dare she insult the cafeteria workers,' which was so not my intention and not who I am as a person. To know the people who were working hard in the school, cleaning up the garbage, feeding us meals thought I was insulting them was so devastating to me because it was absolutely not my intention. So, I wrote something in the newspaper. I issued a handwritten apology to the cafeteria workers, but I learnt a valuable lesson aside from 'think before you speak'. That kind of thing is so exaggerated now because of social media. You do have to be careful about how what you say is perceived and the impact it will have." 2018, Gwyneth Paltrow told the Wall Street Journal, "Forgive me if this comes out wrong. I went to do a yoga class in LA recently, and the 22-year-old girl behind the counter was like, 'Have you ever done yoga before?' And literally I turned to my friend, and I was like, 'You have this job because I've done yoga before.'" On social media, people criticized and made fun of her comments. Twitter: @whatbunnysaid Twitter: @Annabelera a 2012 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Emily Blunt made unkind and unnecessary comments about a server's weight while sharing a story about going to Chili's. The clip recirculated on social media in 2023, leading to a lot of backlash. So, Emily made a public apology, telling People, "I just need to address this head on as my jaw was on the floor watching this clip from 12 years ago. I'm appalled that I would say something so insensitive, hurtful, and unrelated to whatever story I was trying to tell on a talk show." She continued, "I've always considered myself someone who wouldn't dream of upsetting anyone so whatever possessed me to say anything like this in that moment is unrecognizable to me or anything I stand for. And yet it happened, and I said it and I'm so sorry for any hurt caused. I was absolutely old enough to know better." Here's a clip of the original interview, with this part starting a the 1:11 mark: 2019, former The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Alexis Bellino posted an Instagram picture of the dirty floor under her couch. In the caption, she said, "When your couch accidentally disconnects and you realize your maids aren't doing deep cleaning. Found 2 socks too... 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤔" Related: Her commenters called her out for publicly shaming her staff rather than simply cleaning it up herself. In a follow-up Instagram post, Alexis claimed she'd been joking. She said, ""To All: I can and WILL post whatever I want on my [Instagram]. My maids are well paid for and I love them. It was a joke. Get over yourselves, stop trolling, find happiness and please unfollow me ASAP as I'm not looking for any of your approval on my [Instagram] and I DON'T need followers." a 2021 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian Barker discussed a disagreement that Kourtney had with Kim's nanny while on a trip. However, Kim was quick to call her sister out on how she handled the situation. And she called her out for how she allegedly treats nannies in general, which Kourtney said was all "lies." Watch the full clip below: Related: 2022, Kim Kardashian shared her "best advice for women in business" with Variety. Kim faced backlash across the internet as many people pointed out that her comments failed to acknowledge her privileged background, which gave her a boost. Twitter: @HottyToddyAspen Twitter: @WanderingNoma14 Kim told Good Morning America, "It wasn't a blanket statement towards was taken out of context, but I'm really sorry if it was received that way." Variety denied that the quote was "taken out of context." Here's the full video, with this part starting at the 5:12 mark: 2022, on her podcast Anything Goes, Emma Chamberlain compared being a self-employed influencer to working a more traditional 9-to-5. She said, "Because you're an employee of somebody else, mentally, it's easier for you to disconnect after work so that you can enjoy all of your free time to the fullest without having to think about your job." She continued, "Whereas, when you're never stop thinking about it. You never get to disconnect. You never get to be like, 'Oh, I'm done for now.' It is so hard." In a Reddit thread about the episode, listeners expressed their frustration with her comments. a since-deleted 2018 social media video, makeup influencer Sondos al-Qattan complained about new laws in Kuwait, where she lives, that had been recently passed to provide more protection for domestic help employees, such as housekeepers. She said, "For people who want to go get a Filipino domestic worker, what are these ridiculous work contracts you've got to sign? But how can you have a servant in your house who gets to keep their passport with them? Where are we living? If they ran away and went back to their country, who'll refund me? Even worse is that they get a day off every single week! What's left?" "Honestly, with this new contract, I just wouldn't get a Filipino maid. She'd only work six days a week and get four days off a month," she said. Several beauty brands cut ties with her. Though she deleted the video, it was reposted on Twitter and YouTube, where commenters called her out. Related: In a follow-up video, the influencer said she was glad her post went viral because "maybe that will help her as an employer get more rights." Additionally, on Instagram, she said, "Due to the spreading rumors, it was only necessary to make a responsive clarification. The passport of any expat employee should be in the poseseccesion of the employer to protect the employer's interests. Irrevelant of the employer/employee nationality...I have not [in] any circumstances in present or past... degraded or in any way mistreated an employee of mine. I consider all employees as equal human being [sic]." 2005, Russell Crowe was arrested at a SoHo hotel because, after he wasn't able to get a call to his wife in Australia to go through, he threw the telephone at the concierge, who got a cut under his eye as a result. Afterward, Russell publicly apologized on The Late Show with David Letterman, saying it was "possibly the most shameful situation that I've ever gotten myself in my life." He later went to court. After pleading guilty to third-degree assault, the actor was sentenced to a conditional discharge, which meant he must meet the condition of not getting arrested again for a year. He also settled with the concierge. 2006, Paula Abdul allegedly wanted to change her 7:40 a.m. flight and called the front desk of her Las Vegas hotel. Carol Good, one of the hotel workers, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "I stayed over and printed out the flight schedules." She also said that, just as she was about to call her, Paula called the desk again and "went off on" her and blamed her and her coworker for making her missing the flight. Carol and her coworker were reportedly suspended afterwards. Paula's lawyers didn't respond to the story. 2013, Lady Gaga went to court with her former assistant, Jennifer O'Neill, who was suing her for unpaid overtime. In her deposition, the singer reportedly called her a "fucking hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn't earn." She said, "She's just — she thinks she's just like the queen of the universe. And, you know what, she didn't want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I'm the queen of the universe every day." "I'm quite wonderful to everybody that works for me, and I am completely aghast to what a disgusting human being that you have become to sue me like this," she said. "Because she slept in Egyptian cotton sheets every night, in five-star hotels, on private planes, eating caviar, partying with [photographer] Terry Richardson all night, wearing my clothes, asking YSL to send her free shoes without my permission, using my YSL discount without my permission...[This job] was essentially a favor, and Jennifer was majorly unqualified for it...I expect there to be a certain level of, like, you know, knowledge and academia about, like, your job." Lady Gaga said, "One of the biggest problems I had with Jen is that I felt like she didn't enough lay out all my stuff for me [when traveling]. "She also said that her former assistant "was asleep until 12:00 most of the time" and "got lazy." "This job is a 9-to-5 job that is spaced out throughout the day. You don't get a schedule that is like you punch in and you can play fucking Tetris at your desk for four hours and then you punch out at the end of the day. This is — when I need you, you're available," she said. "I do six shows a week, and I make a lot of money. I work, I work 24 hours a day. I'm not standing next to Steve holding tea, waiting for him to take a sip, that is not what I do. Not that people who do that don't deserve their hourly pay, but I'm just pointing out that I deserve everything I've worked for. I deserve every dollar of it. And she deserves every dollar of her $75,000 that we agreed to. But she does not deserve a penny more." In her lawsuit, Jennifer alleged that she had to share Lady Gaga's bed while they were touring so that, if the singer wanted the DVD changed in the middle of the night, she could wake up her assistant to do it for her. She also said, "Every day is a work day for her, so every day is a work day for the rest of us. There is no, 'We're going to stay in, we're going to sleep.' There is no, 'Let's put on sweatpants and go out to the movies and be girlfriends.' It doesn't work like that." Eventually, the two settled out of court. finally, Naomi Campbell has been accused of allegedly hitting her staff members multiple times. She pleaded guilty to throwing her telephone at an assistant (in 2000), got sued for throwing the phone at another assistant while having a "tantrum" (in 2003), accused of slapping a housekeeper in the face (in 2004, when she claimed the maid started it), accused of smacking her assistant in the head with her Blackberry (in 2005), arrested for allegedly assaulting her drugs counselor (in 2006), sued by a former maid who accused her of being "a violent super-bigot" (in 2006), and sentenced to community service for assaulting her housekeeper by throwing her bedazzzled cellphone at her head so hard she needed stitches after she couldn't find a specific pair of jeans (in 2007). When she cameoed on Ugly Betty in 2008, the phone incident was treated as a joke. When Naomi answered her cell at a baseball game, everyone else ducked in fear. Likewise, in 2007, after she was arrested for allegedly hitting and head-butting an ex-assistant, Naomi was spotted wearing a "Naomi hit me, and I loved it" shirt.
