‘Brady Bunch' Icon Honored With Surprising ‘World's Coolest' Tribute From Grunge Band
Ann B. Davis famously portrayed beloved housekeeper Alice on The Brady Bunch during the show's run on ABC in the 1970s, as well as the 1980s Brady TV movies, The Brady Girls Get Married and A Very Brady Christmas, and the short-lived 1980s spinoff series, The Brady Brides and The Bradys.
Though Davis died in 2014 at the age of 88, her legend lives on—and in some unusual places.

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.

Olympic swimmer engulfed in ‘inappropriate' behaviour accusations makes fiery statement
Luana Alonso will no longer stay silent. The Paraguayan swimmer who reportedly was booted out of the Olympic Village during last year's Summer Games has fired back at 'false rumours' surrounding her departure from Paris. Alonso posted a fiery statement on her Instagram stories this week, hitting out at the reports that she was removed for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.' 'Let me make this clear: I left the Olympic Village on my own,' she wrote on Wednesday. 'These are false rumours that have hurt my name and my career.' Alonso ignited a firestorm at the Games last summer, going viral for alleged behaviour behind the scenes at the village. The 21-year-old swimmer competed for Paraguay in the women's 100-metre butterfly, but failed to reach the semifinals – and then seemingly announced her abrupt retirement from the sport in a post on Instagram. But instead of heading home, Alonso stayed in the French capital to see the sights – which were well-documented on her social media account – before reportedly got her booted by her country's Olympic committee for creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.' 'Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,' Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP), said in a statement at the time. But, 11 months later, Alonso is now firing back at the accusations. 'The Paraguayan Olympic team claimed I created an 'inappropriate environment' simply because I decided I didn't want to swim anymore,' she said. 'They tried to take my accreditation away, but that's not something they had the right to do. I chose not to hand it over and apparently that was 'inappropriate' to them.' The Daily Mail also reported that Alonso was accused of being a distraction to her fellow competitors with her socializing and attire. She was often seen sporting stylish outfits as opposed to team uniforms and opted to take a trip to Disneyland Paris instead of cheering on her compatriots. 'I was judged for wearing skinny clothes, for socializing, and for not conforming,' she added. 'That's not inappropriate — that's being a young adult. 'I had finished racing. I was no longer obligated to stay. If others saw that as disrespectful, that's on them.' Alonso reportedly checked into a Parisian hotel after leaving the Olympic Village, and visited high-end stores and restaurants. But despite the contentious nature between herself and her country's Olympic committee, the Southern Methodist University alum claims she was asked by Paraguayan swimming officials to return to the pool for the Pan American Junior Games, which are being held in the country's capital, Asunción, this August. 'If I had been treated like a human being, maybe I would have stayed,' she said. 'But they made me feel like a problem.'

The two-time Olympian also threatened legal action against media outlets that are spreading the 'false rumours' about her. 'I'm seriously considering legal action against the magazines and media outlets spreading false rumours like that I was expelled from the Olympic Village. Really? Who came up with that nonsense? Well that it's not true,' she wrote. She also teased that she would be releasing a video to better explain her thinking. 'Seriously (these) lies are wild and affecting my life and that's why I decided I'm keeping my life lowkey,' she said.
