Is your baby a star? The Gerber Photo Search contest is set to return soon
Do you think your little one is meant to be the next Gerber baby? Well, they may have a chance to be just that next year, but not in 2025. On the official Gerber baby IG page, some users left questions on their posts asking about the status of the popular Gerber baby photo contest. "How do we apply for our child to be a Gerber baby ?? 🥲" wrote one user in a post. And another user wrote on a different post, "When's the 2025? I have the cutest little boy to enter!" "We see your questions about Photo Search and wanted to let you know... the Photo Search is still on!" Gerber wrote in a recent story post that was added to its highlight reel on Instagram. The post went on to say that the call for entry and full rules for the competition will be announced in January 2026. Last year, the start of the competition was announced on April 30, 2024. But through the years, Gerber has changed when they began and announced the Photo Search Gerber does not have any permanent plans around changing the timing for the program, a Gerber spokesperson told USA TODAY in an email. Gerber Photo Search was last held 2024 The last Gerber Photo Search took place in 2024 when Akil McLeod was announced as the 2024 Gerber Baby and Chief Growing Officer, according to a news release on Gerber's website. The toddler, known as "Sonny", is from Arizona and loves playing with toy cars and watching football with his family. 'Every day it's an honor to watch Sonny conquer so many tiny achievements, from giggles, to trying new foods, to standing up and everything in between," Dominque McLeod, Sonny's mom, said in a release. "He's a light in our lives and brings joy to everyone around him." Sonny was recognized on his second birthday a few weeks ago on the Gerber IG page, which reads in part, "You've brought so much light to the Gerber family this year. Watching you grow has been such a gift! We are wishing you the happiest day filled with love, laughs, and all your favorite snacks." A post shared by Gerber (@gerber) Baby names: Baby Santa? What to know about banned baby names in the US Origins of the Gerber baby The iconic face of the original Gerber Baby has become synonymous with the brand, and like today, that face was found through a contest held in 1928, according to Gerber. A simple sketch of Ann Turner Cook, drawn by her family's neighbor, artist Dorothy Hope Smith, won the contest and grew so popular that, in 1931, it became Gerber's official trademark and it is the face of Gerber to this day. Today, the Gerber baby is found in a similar way. Parents have been entering their children into the annual Gerber Baby Photo Search since it began in June 2010, according to a press release published on its website. The first winner of the contest was announced in January 2011. Of the over 217,000 contestants, judges picked 2-year-old Mercy Townsend from Toledo, Ohio. In past years, content winners have had a chance to star in Gerber advertisements and win scholarship money. List of babies who have won the Gerber Photo Search contest Here's a list of all the winners from 2011 to 2024, according to past news releases and a list of past winners, or "Spokebabies", on their website.

From the Stones to Cardi B, this college haunt has attracted big acts for 50 years
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Nestled on a narrow, one-way street among Yale University buildings, a pizza joint and an ice cream shop, Toad's Place looks like a typical haunt for college kids. But inside the modest, two-story building is a veritable museum of paintings and signed photos depicting the head-turning array of artists who've played the nightclub over the years: The Rolling Stones. Bob Dylan. Billy Joel. Bruce Springsteen. U2. The Ramones and Johnny Cash. Rap stars Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Kanye West, Cardi B, Run-D.M.C., Snoop Dogg and Public Enemy. Blues legends B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker. And jazz greats Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Herbie Hancock. This year, the New Haven institution is celebrating 50 years in business. And the people who made it happen are reflecting on Toad's success in attracting so many top acts to a venue with a standing-only capacity of about 1,000. 'You know, I thought it would be good for a few years and then I'd be out doing something else,' said owner Brian Phelps, 71, who started as the club's manager in 1976. 'And then the thing started to happen when some of the big bands started to come here.' Original owner Mike Spoerndle initially opened Toad's Place in January 1975 as a French restaurant with two friends he later bought out. Before that, the building had been a burger and sandwich joint. But when the restaurant got off to a slow start, Spoerndle had an idea for bringing in more customers, especially students: music, dancing and beer. A Tuesday night promotion with bands and 25-cent brews helped turn the tide. Among the acts who performed was New Haven-born Michael Bolotin, who would change his name to Michael Bolton and go on to become a Grammy-winning ballad writer and singer. The gregarious and charismatic Spoerndle, who died in 2011, endeared himself to bands and customers. A local musician he tapped as Toad's booking agent used his connections to bring in area bands and, later, major blues acts. Then, in 1977, came a crucial moment. Spoerndle met and befriended concert promoter Jim Koplik, who would bring in many big names to Toad's over the years, and still does today. 'Mike knew how to make a really great room and Brian knew how to really run a great room,' said Koplik, now president of Live Nation for Connecticut and upstate New York. A year later, Springsteen stopped by Toad's to play with the Rhode Island band Beaver Brown after he finished a three-hour show at the nearby New Haven Coliseum. In 1980, Billy Joel stunned Toad's by picking it — and several other venues — to record songs for his first live album, 'Songs in the Attic.' That same year, a little-known band from Ireland would play at Toad's as an opening act. It was among the first shows U2 played in North America. The band played the club two more times in 1981 before hitting it big. On a Saturday night in August 1989, Toad's advertised a performance by a local band, The Sons of Bob, and a celebration of Koplik's 40th birthday, followed by a dance party. The admission price: $3.01. After The Sons of Bob did a half-hour set, Spoerndle and Koplik took the stage. 'Ladies and gentlemen,' Spoerndle said. Koplik followed with, 'Please welcome the Rolling Stones!' The stunned crowd of around 700 erupted as the Stones kicked off an hourlong show with 'Start Me Up.' 'Thank you. Good, good, good. We've been playing for ourselves the last six weeks,' Mick Jagger told the crowd. The Stones had been practicing at a former school in Washington, Connecticut, for their upcoming 'Steel Wheels' tour — their first in seven years — and had wanted to play a small club as a warmup. The band's promoter called Koplik, who recommended Toad's. The band agreed, but insisted on secrecy. Those at Toad's kept a lid on it for the most part, but swirling rumors helped pack the club. Doug Steinschneider, a local musician, was one of those at the venue that night after a friend told him the Stones would be playing. He wasn't able to get in, but managed to get near a side door where he could see Jagger singing. 'It was amazing!' said Steinschneider. 'For being a place where major bands show up, it's a tiny venue. So you get to see the band in their real element. In other words, you're not watching a screen.' A few months later, Bob Dylan's manager reached out looking for a club where he could warm up for an upcoming tour. Dylan's 1990 show at Toad's sold out in 18 minutes. He played four-plus hours — believed to be his longest performance — beginning with a cover of Joe South's 1970 song 'Walk a Mile in My Shoes' and ending with his own 'All Along the Watchtower.' 'That was a good one,' Phelps recalled. Phelps — who bought out Spoerndle's stake in Toad's in 1998 — believes the secret to the venue's longevity has been bringing in acts from different genres, along with events such as dance nights and 'battle of the bands'. Rap shows especially draw big crowds, he said. Naughty by Nature and Public Enemy played Toad's in 1992. After releasing his first album, Kanye West played there in 2004 with John Legend on keyboards. Drake played Toad's in 2009, early in his music career. And Snoop Dogg stopped by to perform in 2012 and 2014. 'When you have all these things, all ages, all different styles of music, and you have some dance parties to fill in where you need them, especially during a slow year, it brings enough capital in so that you can stay in business and keep moving forward,' Phelps said. On a recent night, as local groups took the stage for a battle of the bands contest, many were in awe of playing in the same space where so many legends have performed. Rook Bazinet, the 22-year-old singer of the Hartford-based emo group Nor Fork, said the band members' parents told them of all the big acts they'd seen at the New Haven hot spot over the years. Bazinet's mom had seen Phish there in the '90s.

A year after fame found him in Paris, Stephen Nedoroscik, aka 'Pommel Horse Guy,' is back for more
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The glasses haven't gone anywhere. And they aren't going anywhere. The same goes for Stephen Nedoroscik's hair, which remains a bit of a floppy, curly brown mess. Nor, insists the gymnast who became forever known as 'Pommel Horse Guy' after winning a pair of bronze medals in Paris, has his devotion to the discipline that made him one of the breakout stars of the 2024 Olympics faded in the least. While Nedoroscik leaned into the fame, most notably a long run on 'Dancing With the Stars' last fall, followed immediately by a stint co-hosting the show's national tour, he never once considered putting away his grips for good and trying to go Hollywood full-time. Sorry, that was never the point of all this. Three months ago, Nedoroscik walked back through the doors of EVO Gymnastics in Florida and quietly went back to work. And when the U.S. Championships begin on Thursday night, he'll hop onto the event that, at 26, he remains in some ways obsessed with after all these years and begin again. 'At the end of the day, I am a gymnast and I blew up for being a gymnast,' Nedoroscik said. 'And I have sort of a mindset where I don't really want to be famous. I get, like, anxiety. So it's like I kind of accept the fact that having this moment was amazing, but eventually that wave will end.' In a way, Nedoroscik hopped off before he had a chance to be pushed. He's well aware of the tropes of all the teen movies where the main character starts off as an outcast of sorts, then one flash of talent, one splash of popularity, and one makeover montage later, they emerge as a different person. He had no interest in sticking to that script, though the lure is certainly intoxicating. When he drilled his dismount at Bercy Arena during the men's team final last July to clinch the biggest international medal by the U.S. men's gymnastics program since the 2008 Olympics, he didn't think it would lead to a spot on 'The Tonight Show,' with host Jimmy Fallon rapping a song on how to spell his name. The only contestant in 'Dancing With the Stars' two-decade run to incorporate a pommel horse into a dance routine didn't imagine being a fixture on national television for two months either. Yet that happened too. Quickly followed by weeks crisscrossing the country as one of the faces of the show's annual tour. While he appreciated the support, the messages to his Instagram account that cut through the noise the most weren't the ones talking about the way he navigated a ballroom floor, but from mothers who saw Nedoroscik and his American teammates triumph in Paris and decided it was time to sign their sons up for a sport that always seems to be fighting for its survival. 'Like that's what it's all about, honestly, because this is a great sport,' he said. 'And I think it's the best sport, especially for hyper kids like I was.' That almost relentless energy hasn't gone anywhere. Sharing a stage with Olympic teammates on Wednesday afternoon, Nedoroscik leaned over to Brody Malone and asked how his hair looked. When Malone responded 'disgusting" in the kind of good-naturedly sarcastic tone that has been the love language of guys everywhere for eons, Nedoroscik's laugh echoed throughout the room. It's one of the many reasons Nedoroscik is happy to be back to what passes for his normal. He understands competing just three months after returning to training might be asking a bit much of his body. The early weeks in the gym were humbling and eye-opening. Yet interspersed with the aches and pains were the occasional reminders that yeah, he's still pretty good at this. How good? Well, that's one of the reasons the Worcester, Massachusetts, native is already pointing toward the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. There's a chance his best gymnastics might still be ahead of him. 'I love to just push myself as far as I can go and I love to ride this wave, like right on the edge of possibility and like, 'Am I gonna just die out there?'" he said. 'But I do it for the thrill and I do it for the love of the sport, so I want to keep going.' While keeping it real at the same time. Asked how he stayed grounded as his profile soared, he shrugged. While his number of followers on social media 'I do think it is sort of my inherent nature to just stick true to myself,' he said. 'I don't really try to put up a fake face in any situation that I'm in and I think so long as I do that, I am not going to change.' ___
