This Father's Day, Drink The Whiskey From TV's Most ‘Shameless' Dad
William H. Macy is Woody Creek's "spokesdude." Woody Creek Distillers You never need an excuse to pick up a bottle of whiskey, whether it's for you or someone else. But certain occasions lend themselves to such an activity, like Father's Day, when you can show some appreciation for the man who helped give you life by giving him a bottle of the good stuff. There are myriad options for gifting this year, including plenty of great bourbons and other fine spirits. But save yourself some time perusing bottles at the liquor store, and go with the whiskey that was hand-selected by actor William H. Macy. He's portrayed some iconic characters over the years, from the car salesman turned comically inept criminal Jerry Lundegaard in 'Fargo' to notorious TV father Frank Gallagher of 'Shameless.' And while his on-screen work might not give him a whiskey pedigree, his work in the actual whiskey business does. William H. Macy (he prefers 'Bill') joined Woody Creek Distillers in 2018. The partnership was organic—he and his wife are neighbors with distillery founders Patrick and Mary Scanlan. Macy serves as the brand's official "spokesdude,' but he takes a more active role than most spirits-involved celebrities. That includes hosting events, talking shop and serenading guests with his trusty ukulele. It also means helping to hand-pick the barrels that make up Woody Creek Distillers William H. Macy Reserve, a bottled in bond, 10-year-old straight rye whiskey. Woody Creek recently put out the second edition of this rye, which retails for $199 and is available online, at the brand's distillery in Basalt, Colorado, and at select retailers. William H Macy joined Woody Creek in 2018. Adam Bove 'I know there are other great spirits, but I am saying there are none better,' Macy said about his eponymous whiskey at a recent event. 'And I'll also say there are a whole lot that are worse.' Macy's 'Shameless' character Frank Gallagher was not a discerning drinker, but when I asked Macy if he'd share his William H. Macy Reserve with the fictional dad, he said: 'Frank was the most horrible TV father in the history of horrible TV fathers. But Frank maintained that there was always something in life to celebrate, and that it was incumbent on us to always be ready to celebrate it.' A bottle of whiskey certainly helps in all celebratory matters. The decade that Woody Creek William H. Macy Reserve spent in barrels adds plenty of oak-influenced flavors, as expected, but the barrels don't mask the fruity, spicy character of the 100% rye mashbill. The whiskey shows aromas of clove and cinnamon up front, followed by apples, dried fruit, nuts and honey on the palate. The finish brings hints of spice and mild smoke. It's an easy sipper from beginning to end, with lots of flavor packed into the 100-proof spirit. There's no need to reach for anything besides a glass or maybe some ice, but the rye also works nicely in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan. For the record, Macy thinks that TV's best dad was Jim Anderson of 'Father Knows Best,' calling him 'kind and reasonable and steady.' If your dad exhibits any of those traits, treat him to a bottle of William H. Macy Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey. Better yet, suggest that you two pop the top together, so you can also get a taste of what's inside. William H Macy Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey Woody Creek Distillers

Glen Powell's Ex Revealed What Really Happened in His PR Relationship With Sydney Sweeney
In early 2023, when dating rumors were swirling between Anyone But You co-stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, news broke that Powell and his longtime girlfriend Gigi Paris had gone their separate ways. Of course, that only boosted the rumors even more. But what really happened behind the scenes? In a new episode of the Too Much podcast, Paris, who dated Powell from January 2020 to April 2023, opened up about their split. According to her, Powell embraced the dating rumors at the time as a strategic PR move for their rom-com, no matter how strongly his girlfriend pushed against it. More from SheKnows Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom Reportedly Worked Through 'Tension' After Her Latest Career Setbacks 'This is what I have to do for my job,' Powell reportedly told Paris, per Us Weekly. 'I had two options,' she then said. 'I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she OK with this? What the f—?' Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not OK with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do.' 'I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public,' Paris said. 'Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?' From the looks of it, Powell was just not willing to put their relationship above his acting career. 'At the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first,' Paris said of the Top Gun: Maverick star. 'And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs.' Looking back, Paris admitted that it wouldn't have taken much for her to back off. 'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said,' she said. 'And that wasn't said. Never once.' 'It was serving them for their PR,' she said. 'Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy.' Paris also revealed what her last straw was before calling it quits. 'I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work — all this s— was coming out on the Internet – and he called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit,'' she remembered. 'And that's when I hung up. And I was like, 'This motherf— is done to me.'' Paris and Powell called it quits in April 2023.

Bill Belichick dismisses ‘outside noise' surrounding UNC football: ‘We've always dealt with that'
Bill Belichick is unbothered by the 'outside noise' that has surrounded his program in his first few months as North Carolina's coach, he said Tuesday. 'Is there noise out there? We've always dealt with that. Really, our job is to build a football team and help build the team and also build their individual careers,' Belichick said in his first news conference since March 5. Advertisement Belichick, 73, chuckled when he was asked if his girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, would be on the sidelines for Tar Heels games this fall. 'No, she doesn't have any role in the UNC football program. But again, there's been noise out there about a lot of different things. Our focus is day to day, getting better, stacking good days together.' Hudson and Belichick's relationship has been the subject of conversation since Belichick's arrival, intensifying after Hudson went viral this spring for repeatedly interrupting a CBS News interview promoting Belichick's new book, which was released on May 6. 'Some of the noise that's out there and the book and stuff like that, it is what it is. That's a personal venture I entered into when I wasn't in coaching last year,' Belichick said. 'Hopefully, (the book) will be a big purchase on Father's Day.' In December, Belichick asked that Hudson be copied on emails sent to Belichick. North Carolina's athletic communications staff was in the middle of restructuring and Hudson no longer receives those emails. The Athletic reported in April that Hudson's requests to be heavily involved in the production of NFL Films' Hard Knocks — a documentary featuring Belichick's transition into college football — were 'instrumental' in NFL Films' decision to stop pursuing the project. Four UNC players also spoke to reporters Tuesday, marking the first time Belichick's players have been made available to the media since his arrival in December. Offensive lineman Christo Kelly, an incoming transfer from Holy Cross, said the discussion about Belichick and Hudson hasn't affected the team, echoing what some former players told The Athletic this spring. 'Outside noise is a part of playing college football. That just comes with the territory. It doesn't really have any effect on us or the day to day,' Kelly said. 'We're focused on competing and getting better and stacking those days. Everything else is just noise. We're worried about keeping the main thing the main thing.' North Carolina's season kicks off on Sept. 1 when the Tar Heels host TCU.
