AUSTIN (KXAN) – Father's Day weekend has arrived, and with a few rainy days behind us, it's time to get outdoors and enjoy the town. Prefer indoor fun? A Musical playing in Austin could be a good choice!
The bulk of the rain will be left behind as conditions clear up, allowing us a chance to get outside. Temperatures will also creep back up into the mid-90s, with less cloud coverage and fewer showers in our future.
Take a deep breath of pecan pie and immerse yourself in Waitress: The Musical. (My favorite musical. -Freddy) The story of a small town pie maker working at a restaurant in a loveless marriage finds out she is pregnant from her abusive husband.

Brooklyn Beckham Shares Sweet Tribute to Sister Harper on 14th Birthday Amid Ongoing Family Feud

Brooklyn Beckham is sending birthday wishes to his little sister, Harper. On Thursday, June 10, the youngest of David and Victoria Beckham's children turned 14 years old. To mark the occasion, Brooklyn, 26, took to his Instagram Story to share a sweet tribute. Brooklyn posted a photo of him and wife Nicola Peltz smiling with their arms around Harper, who stands in the middle. 'Happy birthday harper we love you x,' he wrote in white text on the photo. The photographer's post comes as rumors about a family feud continue to swirl. A source close to the situation exclusively told Star recently that Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, are standing up to his parents. 'David and Victoria have been relentless for the last five years, constantly going after Brooklyn and Nicola,' the insider said. 'There's been this ongoing pressure and criticism, they just can't seem to let Brooklyn and Nicola live their lives.' The source added that Brooklyn has been 'trying to make his own way' in the world. 'He doesn't deserve to be belittled or ignored for that,' the insider explained. 'It's as if they're rattled and getting terrible advice, and now, Brooklyn and Nicola are finally standing up for themselves.' After Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration in May — which his three siblings, Cruz, 20, Romeo, 22, and Harper, attended — a source told People that the couple skipped out because they didn't want to be around Romeo's then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. The source alleged that Brooklyn and Turnbull, 24, dated, but the model denied those reports on her Instagram Story on June 16. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question,' she wrote, referring to Brooklyn. 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.' Shortly after the legendary soccer player's birthday party, Romeo and Turnbull broke up. Despite the drama, David included Brooklyn in his heartfelt Father's Day post. The former LA Galaxy player shared an Instagram carousel filled with snaps of all four of his children. 'My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what… Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father's Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham@cruzbeckham #HarperSeven @tedbeckhamdavid 🩷,' David captioned his post.

Celine Dion's fierce defence of son is a lesson in handling 'unwanted advice'

Celine Dion, 57, is a singing icon, but at home her most important role is being mum to her three sons, René-Charles, 24, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 14. The star showed the extent of a mother's love when she fiercely defended her eldest son in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which has now resurfaced online. Re-shared this year by Instagram fan account, @celinedionfashion, the clip showed Celine being interviewed by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and things took a turn when Ellen asked when she was going to cut off her son's long hair. "Do you have a problem with that?" was Celine's speedy response. "Whatever I will do, I won't please everyone," she quipped, and also went on to reveal that "Rene-Charles makes his own decisions." MORE TO READ Celine Dion opens up about how her three sons have privately dealt with her health battle Fans praised how Celine handled the situation with one writing: "Celine did that with style, education and respect! She's amazing!" and another adding: "Do you have a problem with that? Put Ellen in place right there." A third penned: "Sooooo classy! So admirable, Céline!" and a fourth added: "Glad Ellen is not on TV anymore; she was not kind." Mum-of-one Features Editor, Miranda Thompson, shares her experience on unsolicited advice about children. "When it comes to unwanted advice about my son, I have to always try to remember people think they're being helpful, not malicious, and that it's likely they're trying to offer their own support in their own way. If it really winds me up, I'll take a deep breath and vent to a mum chat later!" she says. Celine shares her sons with late music producer René Angélil, who sadly passed away in 2003. On Father's Day, Celine shared a heartfelt message to her late husband. "You may no longer be by our side, but your love lives within us. You taught our boys to be kind, to believe in who they are, and to take care of one another. That's the greatest gift of all." Celine's health Celine has been plagued with health battles in recent years. In 2022, she revealed her Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis. The rare neurological disorder causes painful spasms and mobility issues. She first began experiencing symptoms in 2008, but it took years to get properly diagnosed. In July 2024, she made her triumphant return to the stage at the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony, performing live from the Eiffel Tower, after having to cancel many shows ahead of that. René-Charles was on hand to cheer and support his mom in Paris on this very special occasion, and he was visibly emotional. In a backstage clip, Celine's son was seen wiping away tears after his mother's spectacular showing as a crew member rubs his shoulder for support. Upon her return, Celine then pulls her son into a tight hug as they both lean into the emotional embrace. Where does Celine Dion live? The hitmaker traded living in an actual waterpark for a luxurious $1.2 million mansion when she started her Vegas residency – and she's been living there ever since. Over the years, we've seen glimpses inside her beautifully decorated abode where everything is immaculately tidied and super luxurious.

The 1 Restaurant Jessica Biel Won't Allow Her Kids to Eat and Why

Jessica Biel says she's not the strictest parent when it comes to what foods she allows her kids to eat, but there is one restaurant that she's forbidden in her home. 'McDonald's!' the "Better Sister" star, 43, told Parade. 'I'm like, 'Sorry, guys, I'm not doing it.' They don't get McDonald's. I just feel like I don't know what's going on with (the) quality of that food. It's stuff like that that I'm like, 'No, we're not.' Let's go have a great burger and fries at a fancy place. I'd rather pay more for you to have something fancy than something like that.' 'I guess I'm not crazy, rigid and strict, but that would be something that, if they asked me for, I would just be like, 'Next! Next place. Next down the line!'' she added. Biel shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, born in the summer of 2020, with husband Justin Timberlake. The couple tied the knot in 2012. The former '7th Heaven' star thanked Timberlake for being 'the rock' of their family in a heartfelt Father's Day post in June 2024. She shared a photo of Silas and Phineas embracing Timberlake on Instagram, writing, "You're so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK." 'The rock we climb on, we lean against,' she continued. 'The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm. We LOVE YOU.' A few months before, Biel shared a few snaps of Silas and Phineas modeling some of the clothing sold during their dad's 'Forget Tomorrow World Tour." She also included a shot of her and the former 'N Sync singer sharing a sweet moment together. 'It's a family affair y'all,' she captioned the post. In 2015, Biel told TODAY that being a mom was an 'amazing, amazing experience' and also 'the hardest job in the world.' 'I've never been more thankful and grateful to my own mother,' said the former '7th Heaven' star. 'Oh, my gosh, I'm going to call her right after this actually and just thank her. What you have to do for your kid — it's an amazing responsibility and the biggest joy ever.' This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword
