GWAR storms Richmond Waffle House after coffee launch
Members of GWAR, Richmond's homegrown costume metal band, popped by a Henrico Waffle House on Saturday night.
Why it matters: Richmond might be the only city in the world where it's perfectly normal(ish) to see two middle-aged men dressed in little more than loincloths and leather masks in a Waffle House.
Driving the news: GWAR was in town and in costume for the launch of their new"Berserker Mode" coffee, a "savagely sticky with muddy molassesness and foul-fruited candy sweetness" collab with Concept Cafes Coffee, per the website.
The launch was at GWARbar, of course.
It looks like some of the members stopped by the Waffle House on Parham near Staples Mill after the event, where a diner captured some of the band at play and posted the video on Instagram.
What's next: The members appeared to be making a video of their own, so stay tuned.

Rep. Sarah McBride Details Unique Bond with AOC Over the ‘Spotlight' They've Both Faced in Congress (Exclusive)
Rep. Sarah McBride tells PEOPLE that AOC is "a friend and someone who I have turned to for advice" during her first term in the House In a powerful conversation with AOC featured in the State of Firsts documentary about her run for Congress, McBride discusses the pressures she faces as the first openly trans congresswoman State of Firsts premieres June 7 at the Tribeca Festival and screens through June11Rep. Sarah McBride has a strong ally in Congress in one of the House's most visible figures: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. McBride, 34, tells PEOPLE that AOC, 35, has been a source of support since she began her first term in Congress in January. McBride, who made history when she became the first openly transgender person to be elected to the House in November 2024, is the subject of the new State of Firsts documentary from director Chase Joynt, which follows her campaign for Congress. In one scene from the documentary filmed after she won her seat as a U.S. representative from Delaware, McBride and AOC sit down in her office for a chat about "firsts." While speaking to PEOPLE ahead of State of First's Saturday June 7 premiere at the Tribeca Festival, McBride detailed her important bond with the lawmaker. "She's definitely become a friend and someone who I have turned to for advice. She entered Congress with a profile that exceeds mine with a lot of attention," McBride says. "And you know, it wasn't always easy for her." AOC made history in 2018 as the youngest women ever elected to Congress and currently represents New York's 14th congressional district. But in her first term, she said she faced backlash for her outfits and was treated like an intern. McBride says AOC's struggles in her first term have strengthened their connection. "I have often gone to her as one of the few people who knows what it's like coming in as a new member, as a freshman and having a spotlight on you that exceeds what most freshmen have," McBride says, noting, "The challenge of navigating a new place, a new workplace with that spotlight, with those attacks, there are very few people who have that experience." During the meeting between the two congresswomen featured in State of Firsts, the Delaware lawmaker tells AOC she's "struggling with protecting my voice and my ability to be seen and heard authentically for who I am and what I am here to focus on, and the inevitable pool that others are trying to pull me in." Ocasio-Cortez nods as she replies, "What people don't see and what they don't really experience is that being the first means being the only." She continues, "The immense amount of expectation placed on anyone who's a first, in my experience, that is not something that goes away." She then becomes heated over critics who have attacked McBride for her gender identity, telling her, "What they go after is your essential dignity as a human being. And, to be frank, that's what really pisses me off about this." "I want to respect your autonomy and I want to respect your story and how you want to handle this for yourself, but I also want to clock these motherf------," she exclaims.

In a moment also included in State of Firsts, AOC hits back after the House bans trans people from using the Capitol's single-sex bathrooms that match their gender identity, calling the proposal "disgusting" in an interview that first aired on Spectrum News. "All it does is allow these Republicans to go around and bully any woman who isn't wearing a skirt because they think she might not look woman enough,' she says in the interview. While speaking with PEOPLE, McBride says AOC is someone she has "come to rely on for advice," adding, "She certainly has become a friend and I really deeply respect her."

Paige DeSorbo Quits Bravo's ‘Summer House' After 7 Seasons (And One Major Break Up)
We'll always have Summer (House). Paige DeSorbo, who joined the hit Bravo series in its third season, revealed on her Instagram story on Thursday that she will not be returning to the show. 'Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life – the friendships, the giggles, all unforgettable,' she wrote. 'You've seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I'll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has taught me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it's time for this chapter to close.' DeSorbo also thanked her co-stars, fans, and her 'NBCU family,' the company behind Bravo. 'I never could've imagined what this journey would turn into – and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven't seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed,' she concluded, referring to her sleepwear brand that is launching on June 10. The past year was eventful for DeSorbo, who announced her break up with Southern Charm star Craig Conover in late 2024 on her and Hannah Berner's Giggly Squad podcast after three years together. Their buzzy breakup had co-stars of theirs taking sides, or as Summer House's Carl Radke told DECIDER in February, is like siding with your 'quarterback.' 'It feels like leading up to a championship game or something, where both teams in the locker room are saying stuff,' he explained at the time. 'Of course, everybody's going to protect their quarterback or their head coach and Paige is like our quarterback, our head coach. And of course, we're going to have her back, always.' DeSorbo's Thursday morning announcement arrives on the heels of Part 2 of the Summer House Season 9 reunion, during which she confirmed that Conover was 'belligerently drunk' at Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke's wedding and was 'asked not to return' to Batulas' parents' backyard, where the wedding was held. After DeSorbo shared the news of her Summer House exit, Batula shared a selfie with her on her Instagram story with a heart emoji. Wednesday night's (June 4) episode of Watch What Happens Live also saw Kristin Cavallari admit that she and Conover previously 'became romantic for two seconds,' though she 'very politely excused' herself after learning of his relationship with DeSorbo. Summer House Season 9 and both parts of the Summer House Season 9 reunion are streaming on Peacock.

Andy Cohen Shuts Down Lindsay Hubbard RHONY Rumors: ‘I Don't Think So'
Ever since Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard gave birth, fans have wondered if her time in the House is over, and a future on RHONY may be in store. While visiting Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live last week, Lindsay hinted at her future with Bravo. It's not practical for Linds to bring her baby into a weekend party house, so her time in the Hamptons may be over. 'Where do we go from here, Andy?' she asked. 'What do we do?' Lindsay was hopeful that she might fit in with The Real Housewives of New York, since she does, in fact, live in New York. At the time, Andy avoided the question, saying, 'Alright, let's talk about it after the show.' During a visit to Universal Studios in Orlando with his kids last week, Andy updated us on the status of some Housewives. He confirmed that The Real Housewives of New Jersey is still on hold. Basically, Season 15 won't be announced 'for a while.' They're still in the casting process at this time. Turning to whether Lindsay would join RHONY for Season 16, sadly, Andy put that idea to rest. Feigning surprise that people were talking about her joining the cast, the Bravo executive producer played dumb. 'Are they saying that? I don't think so,' he responded. 'But I think she should always be on TV.' 'We are between seasons,' he added. 'We are always casting, and that's what's happening right now.' Although, it was somewhat ominous that neither RHONJ nor RHONY were on the list of Bravo shows up for renewal. As far back as 2023, Lindsay has dreamed about moving from Summer House to RHONY. 'I'm ready to flip tables with girls my own age,' she said at the time. 'I think I was born to be a Housewife. But we have to get there first. I have to become a housewife first, and then maybe we'll graduate.' Summer House is now streaming on Peacock in the US and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED THAT LINDSAY WON'T BE ON RHONY? WHAT OTHER SHOW MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR HER?
