Billy Flynn Says Y&R Is a ‘Dream Come True' – But It's Not for the Reason You Think
For 10 years, Flynn played the popular hero Chad DiMera on Days. Fans of the Peacock soap thought the actor would be a lifer on the show. But in March, Flynn stunned the soap world by announcing his departure from Days to join Y&R.
While Days fans are sad to see the actor go, it was time for him to move on. When Y&R approached him with an offer, it was too good to pass up.

Although there might be some jitters about joining a new show, so far Flynn is having a wonderful experience.
In a video interview posted on Y&R's Instagram page, Flynn discussed being the newest cast member.
'I'm grateful to be on The Young and the Restless, and over at CBS feels like a dream come true. It's my mom's favorite soap opera. So, mom, you're…you're welcome. I know all these actors and I've been watching and admired them for years. And I know a lot of the people over at CBS and Sony, who work, you know, behind the scenes and, I, I love absolutely all of them. And I'm just, I'm grateful to be here. I really am.
Flynn's mom and Y&R fans will see the actor's debut later this week as Aristotle Dumas. There's been a lot of focus on Flynn's character, who will stir up trouble for all of Genoa City. Plus, there's the added mystery of what secrets Aristotle is hiding himself.

Kelly was fired after defending blackface on air in 2018.
Megyn Kelly unironically took aim at Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman for having worn blackface, despite her own comments defending the act that led to her firing from NBC. Kelly called out Kimmel and Silverman after Kimmel appeared on the latter's podcast, where he lamented the state of the country under Donald Trump and revealed that he obtained dual citizenship in Italy—joining the club of celebrities who are fleeing the country to escape Trump's second presidency. 'What's going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,' Kimmel told Silverman, as she agreed. 'It's so much worse; it's just unbelievable,' he went on.

Taylor Swift's Team Teases New Music and Fans Are Losing It
Taylor Swift's Team Teases New Music and Fans Are Losing It originally appeared on Parade. Taylor Swift may be ready for her next era—and fans are here for it all. On August 11, the Taylor Nation Instagram account—run by the megastar's team—shared a major clue about her next endeavor. The popular page posted a carousel of 12 photos of the "Fortnight" singer wearing orange while performing at The Eras Tour, along with the caption, "Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'" Swift, 35, is known for dropping Easter eggs, and fans are convinced that the color scheme and number of photos are hinting that her twelfth, orange-themed studio album is on its way. "TS12 IS ORANGE CONFIRMED???" one fan wrote. "I can't take this on a Monday morning!!!! Jk give it to me PLEASE," another said. "TN casually trolling us on a random Monday AHHHH SEE YOU NEXT ERA," a third commented. "THEY'RE ALL ORANGE IT'S HAPPENINGGGGG," a fourth fan wrote. "START YOUR ENGINES," a fifth commented. "Literally the last thing I've expected but I couldn't be more happy, oh my God!!!!" another excited fan said. "TS12 WE'RE WAITING," an eager fan wrote. The final photo in the carousel showed Swift performing with pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter—and fans don't think this is a coincidence. "SABRINA IN THE LAST PIC = SABRINA FEATURE????" one fan commented. "WILL IT FEATURE SABRINAA?? THE LAST PIC" another wondered. "ORANGE, 12 SLIDES AND THE ONE AND ONLY SABRINA, OMG, IS THIS TS12 AND IS SABRINA GOING TO BE ON IT," a third wrote. Also on the morning of August 11, Swift's NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce hinted that the Grammy Award-winner could be a guest on their New Heights podcast. "92%ers, we're coming back early for a special episode with a VERY special guest New episode Wednesday 7PM ET," the brothers captioned an Instagram post featuring a photo of the pair along with a mystery woman's silhouette and an orange background. "ORANGE BACKGROUND JUST LIKE TAYLOR NATION'S POST HAHAHA I'M CLOWNING SO HARD NOW," one fan commented. "Episode on the 13th, Jason's eras shirt, same orange background as Taylor Nation's post….." a second said. "I know that silhouette when I see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a third wrote. Swift released her wildly popular eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19, 2024 and achieved the highest grossing tour of all time with The Eras Tour.
