Alice in Chains' bassist Mike Inez, who has been in the band since 1993, shared an April 24 post on Instagram teasing that the group is back together and working, writing, 'Our tribe is making noise. #aliceinchains.'
While that was good news for fans, what really got a reaction was the photo Inez shared of his bass and founding drummer Sean Kinney's kit, which featured a psychedelic rendering of the iconic Brady housekeeper, Alice, on the bass drum head.
Fans, and even some fellow musicians, were quick to leave comments.
'Alice In Chains, Alice Cooper, Alice the Maid…that tour SHOULD happen!!! 😉❤️,' wrote guitarist Ryan Roxie.
'There she iiiiiisss 💙,' posted Karmann Soane, who goes by the handle sketchygoat on Instagram and is the artist responsible for the artwork. Her comment prompted a fan to remark, '@sketchygoat The world's coolest Alice by the world's coolest artist!'
'Sticking with the classics!' another fan posted, while another joked, 'Alice doesn't live here anymore,' dropping the title from a non-Brady 1970s movie.
Along with Pearl Jam and Nirvana, Alice in Chains was one of the most popular bands to emerge from the Seattle area in the '90s, with such hits as 'Man in the Box' the chart-topping Jar of FliesEP in 1994 and self-titled album the following year.
Although original lead singer Layne Staley died in 2002 from a heroin overdose, the band is still in action with singer/guitarist William DuVall, who has been fronting the band since 2006, and original songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Jerry Cantrell.

‘Who is this?' Serena Williams just broke Instagram with this skinny selfie
Serena Williams can't win. Scratch that. The tennis icon can win — on the court, snagging 23 Grand Slam titles throughout her incredible career. But on the Internet? Forget about it. Last week, Williams astonished her Instagram followers with a slimmed down appearance, posing in front of a mirror in a black slinky long skirt and crop top. The 43-year-old mom of two has been documenting her weight loss journey a while, working on shedding the pounds. Last summer, the Palm Beach Gardens resident hilariously launched a personal challenge to get back into a Valentino denim skirt she acquired in her pre-pregnancy days. The champ reportedly went from 188 down to 154 pounds by the end of 2024 through a combination of diet (a nutritionist helped) and exercise (something Williams knows well). The California native also revealed she used Lingo, a continuous glucose monitor that tracks blood sugar levels in real time. But in this latest post, it looks as if that cute designer skirt would fall right off of her. Keyboard busybodies, naturally, expressed their unsolicited opinions in the comments section. Some fans were supportive and complimentary telling her she looked amazing. Yet others were concerned by the sudden, dramatic changeup and wondered if she was possibly ill. 'No joking. Is Serena OK? This has been a shocking weight loss. I certainly DON'T want anything to be wrong with her!!!' Some social media users assumed the athlete was on a GLP-1 weight loss drug, like so many other (non-diabetic) Hollywood folks these days. 'Just when you thought the legend was the bad arse who embraced her strength and curves, we now get an Ozempic version of her. Now she looks like everyone else.' A handful didn't even recognize the sports star; e.g., 'Who is this woman?' Buried in the comments were at least a few who didn't attempt to play judge and jury: 'People been on Serena about her body her whole life. Let her live.' But it seems that Williams is fine and focused on wellness so that she can be around to watch her daughters grow up. 'We're all thinking about longevity and everything that we can have at our fingertips, but longevity is something that we have to work at,' she told USA Today late last year. 'And so for me, I'm in that journey in my life where I want to work at that, and I want to create the best scenario I can for that.'

Jillian Michaels ‘threatens to sue' Netflix after explosive claims in Fit For TV documentary
One of the most shocking shows on television right now is Netflix's Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, which goes behind the scenes of one of America's most popular weight-loss programmes. Known for its extreme (and some may argue degrading) approach, participants were forced to face off against each other in a bid to lose the most weight alongside the help of no-nonsense personal trainers. Jillian Michaels, a coach made famous from The Biggest Loser, was namechecked several times in the series, apparently bending the rules by allowing some contestants to take caffeine pills before crucial weigh-ins (Michaels declined to appear in the Fit for TV documentary). However, it seems Michaels, 51, has taken umbrage with some of the claims made in the Netflix documentary, with celebrity gossip site TMZ now alleging that she may even sue Netflix, as well as fellow The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper and the show's medical advisor, Dr. Robert Huizenga. TMZ adds that Michaels has since met with 'powerhouse' lawyer Bryan Freedman to plot next steps. Michaels has also taken to her Instagram page to debunk allegations made in the documentary: that caffeine pills were banned on the set of The Biggest Loser. Sharing a number of screenshots of messages that she alleges are from those involved, Michaels wrote: 'Here is an email chain with Bob Harper - The Biggest Loser's producers – Dr Huizenga's guy, Sandy Krum, who stayed on set with us and distributed the fat burners about which "fat burners" / caffeine pills to purchase the contestants. This is one email of many that shows:- Dr. Huizenga did approve caffeine pills on many seasons of The Biggest Loser.- Bob Harper not only knew about the caffeine pills, the 'stackers fat burner' were actually his suggestion. I wanted to use my brand instead because they were cleaner and had no more than 200mg of caffeine (equivalent to a strong cup of coffee).- Caffeine was NEVER banned on The Biggest Loser.' She added 'Wild how some folks still lie like it's 1985 before texts and email were a thing.' A final screenshot, which appears to be a text sent by Michaels in 2014, reads: 'I think it's really shitty of you to not even respond to my texts. It's this kind of thing that always makes me so disappointed my [sic] our relationship.' Michaels claims that this is the penultimate text she ever sent to Bob Harper. In Fit For TV, Dr Huizenga tells cameras: 'Caffeine, a weight loss pill, was absolutely against everything in the show. It was in the show rules, and the patients signed off to that and the trainers signed off to that, and all the producers signed off to that." Cosmopolitan UK has contacted representatives for Netflix, as well as representatives for Michaels, about these reports.

She previously worked as a Features Writer for Cosmopolitan UK, and has bylines at The Telegraph, The Independent and British Vogue among countless others.
