They once shared recipes. Now her family is going hungry in Gaza.

They used to swap TikTok recipes and photos of mouthwatering spreads: crispy falafel, baked chicken, grilled beef kebabs. Now her aunt in Gaza appeared on a WhatsApp video call with sunken eyes. The proud foodie was down to three cups of lentils and her last sack of flour.
'We can make that stretch,' Aunt Fairouz was saying, 'for two more days.'

'Pioneer Woman' Ree Drummond credits her pickup truck for keeping marriage strong after nearly three decades

"Pioneer Woman" Ree Drummond credits her long-lasting marriage to her pick-up truck. In a new blog post, the Food Network star detailed that some of her favorite date nights with her husband, Ladd Drummond, include hopping in their truck and going for a ride, which they started decades ago when their five children were little and life was busier. "At the risk of sounding like an old married couple, we love to take drives together," she wrote. "There's something about the peace of the pickup. That diesel engine is like background music, and we are focused only on each other. No laptops, devices, TVs — it's such a great time to catch up," she wrote. Ree noted that on their drives, she and her husband talk about whatever is on their minds – which often includes their family and their Oklahoma ranch. "There's something about the peace of the pickup. That diesel engine is like background music, and we are focused only on each other. No laptops, devices, TVs — it's such a great time to catch up." As for their destination, it's "different every time." "Sometimes we stay on the county roads and check on fences or cattle; other times we'll drive east to Pawhuska or west to Ponca City, stopping to get a convenience store Dr. Pepper when we get there." "Other times Ladd will drive into this pasture or that, to show me an area of a creek that I may not have seen before, or — again — to check on a cow or a fence," Ree wrote. Ree and Ladd, who have been married for nearly 30 years, are now empty nesters. The couple tied the knot in 1996 and have five adult kids: Alex, Paige, Bryce, Jamar and Todd. "Now that we're empty nesters, it's not like we don't have lots of time alone at home already. But there's something about the safety and sanctity of the pickup that sparks the very best conversations," she explained.

Brooke Hogan Explains Why She Asked to Be Removed from Father Hulk Hogan's Will

Brooke Hogan opened up about her relationship and final conversations with her late father Hulk Hogan on a recent podcastNEED TO KNOW Brooke Hogan opened up about her relationship and final conversations with her late father Hulk Hogan on a recent podcast Brooke said she was "sobbing" as she asked to be removed from her father's will in 2023 Brooke said she removed herself to avoid confrontations over money with her mother Linda Hogan and her father's third wife Sky DailyBrooke Hogan is opening up about the emotional decision to remove herself from her late father Hulk Hogan's will in 2023. During a call-in appearance Tuesday, Aug. 5 on Bubba the Love Sponge's podcast, the 37-year-old former reality television star told her father's ex-best friend that she was 'scared' of the fighting that would come after her dad died, leading to her decision to remove herself from the equation entirely.'I was sobbing,' Brooke recalled during the interview, explaining that she was texting her father's assistant at the time to ask him to remove her from Hogan's will. 'I just said, take me off everything, I don't want to be a part of it.' Brooke said she later realized that 'money didn't matter' to her anymore after she became pregnant with her twins, who she and husband Steven Oleksy welcomed in January 2025. The sprawling interview was Brooke's first extensive media appearance since her father's death last month. Hogan died at his home in Clearwater, Fla., on July 24 at the age of 71. The WWE legend died from a heart attack, PEOPLE previusly reported, while medical records also revealed the retired professional wrestler had a history of leukemia and atrial fibrillation, a common disorder that causes irregular heart beats. Brooke appeared to surprise Bubba with her call into his program Tuesday morning. The host said he and Brooke had not spoken since 2011, before Hogan and Bubba's estranged wife Heather Clem had appeared in a leaked sex tape together. Referring to him as 'Uncle Bubba' at points, Brooke remained on the line for nearly an hour as they discussed everything from her dad's recent death to their final conversations together. The former Hogan Knows Best star said part of the reason she wanted to be removed from her father's will was to avoid confrontations with her mother Linda Hogan and her father's third wife Sky Daily, whom he was married to at the time of his death, over his financial legacy, alleging Linda was formerly a member of the Church of Scientology.'And then I thought if I get left any money or Nick [her brother] gets left any money then, no offense, my mom has been known to find herself in the mix with things like that,' Brooke said. 'And I'm like, I don't want to fight Linda, I don't want to fight scientology…It scared me. And I just said, I want out.' Read the original article on People

ESPN lands $1.6 billion deal to stream WWE's major events starting in 2026

ESPN has landed the rights to stream WWE's pay-per-view events starting in 2026. WWE and Disney announced the billion-dollar deal on Wednesday, stating that ESPN will host the wrestling company's biggest events, including WrestleMania, Summer Slam, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series and Money in the Bank. The Wall Street Journal reported that the five-year agreement is worth $1.6 billion. The shows will be hosted by ESPN's new streaming service, set to launch on August 21 and cost $29.99 per month. ESPN's deal boasts a significant increase in value compared to WWE's current deal with Peacock, which is valued at $900 million and set to expire this year. The streaming platform, owned by Comcast, has housed WWE events since 2021. "WWE has an immense, devoted and passionate fan base that we're excited to super-serve on our new ESPN DTC platform," ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said. "This agreement, which features the most significant WWE events of the year, bolsters our unprecedented content portfolio and helps drive our streaming future." The new deal also includes pre- and post-shows for the pay-per-view events. WWE's pay-per-view calendar will begin with the Royal Rumble in January, which will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "We are proud to reinforce the 'E' in ESPN at such an exciting juncture in its direct-to-consumer journey," Mark Shapiro, president and chief operating officer of TKO, said in a statement. "WWE Premium Live Events are renowned for exactly the type of rich storytelling, incredible feats of athleticism and can't-miss, cultural tentpole experiences that have become synonymous with ESPN," Shapiro added. "Through our UFC relationship, we have experienced firsthand how transformational an ESPN presence can be, and we know this will be an exceptional partnership at a time of great innovation for both companies." While the pay-per-view events will be streaming on ESPN, WWE's flagship program, Monday Night Raw, will remain on Netflix after inking a contract with the platform. Netflix began hosting Raw in January of this year after signing a 10-year, $5 billion exclusive rights deal. While Raw stays on Netflix and events stream on ESPN, SmackDown will remain on Peacock and the USA Network. WWE has gotten more popular in recent years with soaring viewership across platforms. According to Fox News' data, viewership for Raw was up 4%, SmackDown saw a 10% spike and NXT went up 28% as of last summer. The WWE deal follows ESPN's acquisition of the NFL Network and NFL RedZone, in which the NFL will gain a 10% equity stake in the network.
