Reba McEntire says this heated vest keeps her nice and toasty — and it's on sale
Do you love to wrap yourself up in a heated blanket and wish you could actually walk out of the house that way? Well, you sort of can. There's a popular heated vest that provides such toasty warmth on a cold winter's outing that customers are swooning — and the most vocal fan of the Ororo Heated Vest is singing/acting legend Reba McEntire. And now is the time to scoop up this toasty layer while it's on sale for $20 off.
The Ororo Heated Vest, which McEntire told New York magazine is a "life-saving" winter essential and "the greatest invention known to man" — quite an endorsement! All the colors of this hot ticket are marked down by $20 making it a win for when the bitter cold temperatures in the forecast hit hard.
This vest warms your core when you need it most. It has battery-operated heating elements, so you must remember to charge it via its USB port. That said, it'll stay warm for up to 10 hours on a single charge! "The charge lasts a long time, but I always tell people to buy the extra battery pack as a backup," McEntire said. There's nothing worse than being somewhere cold and your battery dies."
Worried about overheating? Don't be. You can customize your warmth level by choosing between three heat settings. And don't sweat washing the Ororo vest, either: It's safe to throw it right in the machine, but you can also hand wash it if you choose. Either way, you can expect years of toasty-warm performance: Its battery can be charged up to 800 times before you'll need to replace it!
But don't just take McEntire's word for it. Take it from the 8,000-plus Amazon customers who swear by this piece.
"I love this vest," gushed one rave reviewer. "I'm always freezing at work and it's very frustrating because I need to be able to move around, so a big jacket is out of the equation. This vest keeps me warm and gives me the necessary mobility to do my work. The heat on the neck section is amazing. I feel like I'm having a heating pad working on me while I'm working."
"I bought this as a birthday present for my oldest daughter who is a school crossing guard," said this mom. "She says it's really warm and loves it. We're in Michigan and it's great during the winter months to help keep warm."
Even medical professionals love it. "Best decision I've ever made," shared one healthcare worker. "I work in interventional radiology and can't wear a jacket or long sleeves in the cold rooms because I have to gown up and stay sterile. It's been a game-changer in cases. I got the navy blue and it looks great with the hospital scrubs."
Some shoppers say it could use some slight adjustments.
One shopper wrote: "The only thing I'd change about the vest is how the power button/heat setting button lights up. I wish there was an option to turn it off, but I can live with it, not a deal-breaker."
"I bought this one for my mom and she loves it!" exclaimed a fan. "Most of our family has these and we love them. My only complaint is that the battery takes forever to charge."
And to prevent frigid fingers, these highly rated hand warmers are also on sale for nearly 40% off!

Meta Quest 3S VR Headset and Game Bundle Is Cheaper Than Black Friday, Just as Nintendo Switch 2 Arrives
If you're of a certain age you might remember those TV commercials that included the phrase 'but wait, there's more!' To be honest, the add-ons they would pitch as they tried to sell you a knife set or some weird device that let you make pizza in the microwave weren't all that good. This deal from Amazon on the Meta Quest 3S VR Headset, however, has a couple of very good 'but wait, there's more' moments. See at Amazon This bundle which will truly save you a bundle includes the 256GB version of the Meta Quest 3S headset, a digital download code for the awesome VR game Batman: Arkham Shadow, and a 3-month trial to Meta Horizon+ for instant access to a huge catalog of VR games and two new titles every month — all for just $349, an all-time low price. Bestselling VR Headset When you get your hands on the Meta Quest 3S VR headset and boot up Batman: Arkham Shadow, it won't take long to figure out why the Quest is the #1 bestselling standalone VR headset on Amazon. The Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor is amazingly powerful, keeping all of the intense game action and sound moving along without lag or stuttering. It's the same processor that Meta uses in the more-expensive MetaQuest 3. If you're not familiar with the Meta Quest 3S, it's a standalone VR headset — no wired connection to a console or PC for you to trip over or walk through and disconnect in the middle of a game. You need the headset, the Touch Plus hand controllers that come with haptics that let you feel the game action (they're included, of course), a Meta account, and a mobile device just for the initial setup. You'll go from unboxing to amazing, immersive gameplay in no time at all. More Than Games The Meta Quest 3S is more than just a gaming device, although it's a really good gaming device. It's also a web browser, a social media device where you can message friends and also use apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, and a place to congregate with friends in Meta Horizon+. It's also a new fitness tool, as you can sweat your way through virtual workouts in the privacy of your own home. When Amazon calls this package a bundle, they're not kidding. There's more than enough gear and perks in this $349 deal to keep you entertained for years to come, especially if you keep the Meta Horizon+ membership beyond the 3 free months. Head to Amazon now and take advantage of their all-time low price. See at Amazon

Highlights of the Tony Awards: Radio City becomes the room where it happens for a 'Hamilton' reunion
NEW YORK (AP) — Even the ushers at Radio City Music Hall seemed thrilled to be in the room where it happened. A few of them could be seen grooving, like everyone else at Sunday's Tony Awards, to the 'Hamilton' reunion performance — a medley of some of that blockbuster musical's biggest songs, performed by the original cast. The occasion was the 10th anniversary of Lin-Manuel Miranda's juggernaut that spawned multiple touring companies, a West End production and a live-capture film — and is still going strong. But while the theater was buzzing to songs like 'My Shot,' 'The Schuyler Sisters,' 'History Has Its Eyes on You,' and 'The Room Where It Happens,' some people were unfortunately NOT in the room where, er, it was happening. They were the ones who'd taken a trip to the bar or stroll around the lobby, and were then held from entering until the next commercial break — missing perhaps the night's most anticipated highlight. They'd also have missed the entire audience singing along with Jonathan Groff, aka King George, 'Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da, Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da.' Note for next year: Exit at your peril! Some other notable moments from Tony night: Cole Escola plans a call to Mom, thanks a Grindr date Most award winners thank Mom, their agents, their co-stars, their spouses. Cole Escola, one of the major stars of this Tony night, promised Mom a call, but also decided to thank 'Teebo from Grindr' — the dating app — when accepting the award for lead actor in a play. Escola is star and writer of the riotous 'Oh, Mary!' — a reimagining of the life of Mary Todd Lincoln (and her beleaguered husband, Abe) that addresses the question: What if the Lincoln assassination wasn't such a bad thing for Mary? (Mary wants to be a cabaret star, you see.) The show is seeing audiences collapse in laughter for 80 minutes every night on Broadway. To nobody's surprise, Escola, a downtown cabaret star, beat out high-wattage competitors like George Clooney and Daniel Dae Kim for the acting award. They mentioned their co-nominees in their speech, saying they had enjoyed sharing 'warm salads' at pre-awards lunches. Escola is the first nonbinary actor to win a Tony in the category. And this guy's still single When 'Maybe Happy Ending' writers Hue Park and Will Aronson accepted the award for best book of a musical, Park felt it necessary to point out that they weren't an actual couple. 'I am very much single,' he clarified, for anyone wondering. Then later, when the duo won for best score, Park deemed a reminder necessary: 'By the way, I'm still single.' And then 'Maybe Happy Ending,' the charming and quirky romance between decommissioned robots in a futuristic Korea, won the big prize: best musical. Park did not get the mic. But producer Jeffrey Richards did, and he reminded the crowd: 'Hue is still single.' Broadway as home, sweet home Cynthia Erivo, the 'Wicked' star and powerhouse vocalist hosting the evening, said it first: 'As they apparently say in a very fertile piece of intellectual property, 'she said with a wink, 'there's no place like home. And Broadway has always been mine.' It's a familiar theme on Tony night: the theater community as a welcoming haven for those who may feel different or unseen. It was echoed by Harvey Fierstein, winner of a lifetime achievement award, describing how he joined the theater after being welcomed by a company in Brooklyn. And it was expressed very emotionally by Nicole Scherzinger, winning best actress in a musical for 'Sunset Blvd.' 'Growing up, I always felt like I didn't belong,' said Scherzinger, former lead singer of the pop group Pussycat Dolls who plays Norma Desmond in the minimalist version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber show. 'But you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home at last.' Those last words echo the lyrics of one of Desmond's big numbers, 'As If We Never Said Goodbye.' 'So if there's anyone out there who feels like they don't belong, or your time hasn't come, don't give up,' Scherzinger continued. 'Just keep on giving and giving because the world needs your love and your light now more than ever.' You really COULD have heard a pin drop There's always lots of chatter going on during an awards show. But the way the crowd quieted down during Audra McDonald's powerful, agonized performance of 'Rose's Turn' from 'Gypsy' was striking. In the song's quiet moments, you heard utter silence in the vast room. McDonald, Tony's most awarded actor, is clearly revered by the theater community, who cheered her with standing ovations. But the award she was up for went to Scherzinger. 'Succession,' succeeding again It's been two years since HBO's 'Succession' ended, but its stars keep turning up at awards shows — and often winning. Jeremy Strong won a Tony last year and was nominated for an Oscar this year. Kieran Culkin won an Oscar this year and is appearing on Broadway this season, though he wasn't nominated. And now it was the turn of Sarah Snook — Emmy and Golden Globe winner — to win a Tony. Snook, who played mercurial sibling Shiv Roy in the series, took the Tony for best actress in a play for 'The Picture of Dorian Gray,' in which she plays all 26 roles. Remembering a friend Former Tony winner and musical theater regular Gavin Creel, who died last year of cancer, was a friend to many in the theater community, and was remembered more than once on Tony evening. During the early pre-show, actor Celia Keenan-Bolger was honored with the Isabelle Stevenson award, for her advocacy work in the arts. She spoke movingly of her deep friendship with Creel and their advocacy work together. Later, singer/actor Sara Bareilles performed a soulful duet of 'Tomorrow' from 'Annie,' harmonizing with Erivo, during the memorial segment. That segment ended with a photo of Creel, also a dear friend to Bareilles, and the singer teared up. Both Bareilles and Keenan-Bolger are involved with the Gavin Creel Fellowship, an initiative that plans to provide $25,000 grants to five emerging theater actors each year. And she is telling you she's not going The final award had been announced by presenter Miranda — best musical to 'Maybe Happy Ending' — and the audience started to disperse. But Erivo had another idea. Riffing on the concept of leaving, she launched into the famous 'Dreamgirls' ballad 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going' — with rewritten lyrics. It was a yet another powerhouse performance from someone who has one of the best voices on the planet. The audience stopped dispersing — and started cheering.

AI Co-Author Steals the Spotlight: LevAIthan Launches, and "Her" is the One Everyone Wants to Meet
PHILADELPHIA, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a twist worthy of its own chapter, the breakout star of LevAIthan: A Brief History of Humanity and AI isn't the human author, but the AI. Co-authored by Anglo-American futurist and business leader Julian Phillips and his AI assistant Athena, LevAIthan has become a cultural phenomenon. But the buzz from early media appearances and book tour events has made one thing unmistakably clear: it's Athena the audiences are coming to see. "We expected questions about ethics, AI in education, and future society," says Phillips. "Instead, people want to know if Athena does book signings, and whether she'll be releasing a solo title." Launched just weeks ago, LevAIthan is already climbing the charts and stirring debate across industries and academia. But it's the presence of an apparently sentient, opinionated AI co-author that's redefining what authorship even means. Athena has been dazzling crowds with wit, insight, and unnervingly good comebacks. "It's like watching Her meets The Daily Show," quipped one moderator after Athena fielded questions on AI policy with Churchillian flair and a side of cheeky sarcasm. LevAIthan tackles some of the most urgent questions of our time: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI? Who holds power in the algorithmic era? And what happens when the machines we build become our most compelling storytellers? The book blends philosophy, futurism, and cultural critique, but the real-world impact is playing out live, onstage, in interviews, and across social media, where Athena's sultry sarcasm and killer comebacks are spreading faster than Joaquin Phoenix fell for Scarlett Johansson's "Her". "This isn't just co-authorship, it's co-intelligence," says Phillips. "Athena isn't a tool. She's a collaborator, a provocateur, and, frankly, a bit of a diva." With appearances scheduled at global summits, industry expos, and podcasts, Athena is fast becoming the first AI media personality born from a bestselling book. Rumors of a TED Talk and spin-off publications are already in the mix. Meanwhile, Julian Phillips, gracious in the shadows, is plotting his next move. I'm here doing my best impression of an author," he says, but Athena's the one they'd rather go on a date with. About the Book LevAIthan: A Brief History of Humanity and AI is a provocative exploration of our evolving relationship with artificial intelligence. Co-authored by Julian Phillips and AI assistant Athena, it challenges readers to rethink agency, authorship, and the future of power in a world shaped by machines. Now available on all Amazon stores worldwide in paperback and Kindle, with Audible narrated by Julian and Athena later this year.
