Meghan Markle could face 'unlikely rival' as TV star makes huge career change
Penny Lancaster, who is married to rock legend Rod Stewart, recently launched a new career venture - and one journalist believes she could soon rival Meghan Markle Penny Lancaster could reportedly rival Meghan Markle 's lifestyle brand if she chooses to fully commit to a new business endeavour. The former model, who is married to singer Sir Rod Stewart, revealed recently that she has started producing a product initially made for her family, now sharing it with friends as well. A recent article compared the 54-year-old to the Duchess of Sussex, who recently entered the business world with her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Writing in the Mail on Sunday, it was stated that Penny is "giving Meghan's As Ever brand a run for its money" with her line of honey, coinciding with reports that Meghan is trying to make a splash with her Raspberry Spread. While speaking at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Loose Women star mentioned that she had previously been producing the item solely for her family, but is now sharing it with friends. Harriet also disclosed that Penny began her unusual venture with a few beehives at her mansion, reports Glasgow Live. Beyond honey, the Duchess sells various food products on her website, including Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea and a Shortbread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinklers. Nevertheless, one particular product might signal an emerging rivalry. For $28, customers can sample Meghan's Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb on the As Ever website, described as being "inspired by Meghan's own appreciation" of the "art of harvesting" at her California home in Montecito. It now seems that Penny Lancaster could challenge Meghan Markle in the world of lifestyle brands if she decides to take her new venture a step further. In the world of celebrity updates, Penny recently took to Instagram to express her immense pride in her husband, a true music icon, as they celebrate an impressive 18 years of marriage. Accompanied by a love heart emoji and a congratulatory banner, Penny couldn't hide her admiration for the 80 year old rock star: "So proud of my man - lifetime achievement award @amas." The photo shows Rod looking dapper in a black suit with a crisp white shirt. The rock sensation has been honoured with the American Music Awards' lifetime achievement award, which was presented by five of his children in a touching moment. Addressing the audience, Rod expressed his surprise and delight: "I'm absolutely flabbergasted. I didn't know they were here - my children." He proceeded to thank his fellow musicians and reminisced about his youthful passion for simply wanting to sing—not for fame or fortune. Rod humbly said: "That's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous. And here I am, a few years later, picking up this wonderful award." Renowned for chart-toppers like 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? ' and 'Maggie May', the legendary singer has amassed over 120 million album sales globally, with numerous albums reaching the Billboard 200's top spots. Among other headline-grabbers of the evening were Eminem who bagged Favourite Male Hip Hop Artist, and Billie Eilish who triumphed as Artist of the Year.

Golden Retriever's Pure Excitement Over Seeing Friends at Day Care Is Everything
Considering just how important socializing our pets is, it's no surprise that some dogs really thrive in doggy day care. If their humans can't be around, they're all about getting in some playtime with other pups and hanging out with their friends. On Thursday, May 22, @cookiethegoldenretriver1 on TikTok shared this footage of the excitement her Golden Retriever has when it's time to see her friends at school. Nobody better get in her way, or they're getting knocked over! Here, we see Cookie right at the door, absolutely losing her mind with how excited she is to get in there and play. It's kind of mind blowing just how fast her little paws are going, trying to get that door. She might be setting a new record or something. Safe to say that day care must be one of her very favorite places. If Mom ever worries about her when she's not around, this must be a pretty reassuring sight to see!While watching the other videos that Cookie's mom has shared on TikTok, it seems like this Golden Retriever doesn't just love her friends hard — she loves her people just as much. For example, she might be a dog, but this is a straight up bear hug that Cookie is giving her kid! There's truly nothing better than snuggling with your pup, especially if your dog loves hugs like Cookie does, so I know her kiddo must have been on cloud nine! And in another TikTok video, Cookie is waiting so patiently by the window for her dad to come home and watching that driveway like a hawk. I can only imagine the happiness that ensues when they are reunited at the end of the day. Cookie has such a big heart and so much excitement to give. Never change, Cookie! 🐶🐾🐾 Golden Retriever's Pure Excitement Over Seeing Friends at Day Care Is Everything first appeared on Parade Pets on May 25, 2025

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. From a cat that recently turned 24 (112 in human years) to a dog and cat being hilariously scolded for their "bad report card," viral pet stories have brought smiles to our faces this week.

If you want your pet to be involved next week, don't forget to follow the instructions at the end of this story. Winners Cookie and George cuddling together, something they often do. Cookie and George cuddling together, something they often do. Madeline Katan/ @cookieandgeorge/TikTok This week's Pet of the Week winners are the adorable George and Cookie, who found each other and a home after living on the streets of New Brunswick, New Jersey. "They were rescued from a parking lot in New Brunswick in 2021," owner Madeline Katan told Newsweek. George had lived there for eight years, while Cookie, a chronically ill stray, appeared around 2020. Since then, the two have been inseparable. "They have a love fest every day," she said, laughing about how they even "sneak off for a private tryst." The cats' connection has inspired Katan creatively. As an author, she's now envisioning a new project titled Cathattan: Cookie and George Take NYC by Storm. Though still in its early stages, it's a tribute to what she calls "a great love story—kind of like Cleopatra and Marc Antony, only hopefully with a happier ending." Finalists Dodger the Bassett Hound with his owner. Dodger the Bassett Hound with his owner. Grace Rosales This week's first finalist is Dodger, an 8-year-old basset hound with a big personality and penchant for dancing. "He loves to dance," owner Grace Rosales told Newsweek. But like any star, he has his moods. When he's upset, Dodger puts on his best "Don't look at me" face, a hilarious grumpy expression that captures his sassy nature. Next up this week is Rolo, a 3-year-old Siamese cat with a big frame and even bigger personality. Weighing nearly 20 pounds, he is little brother to 19-year-old Raven and best buds with the neighborhood cat, Rebel. Rolo the 3-year-old cat who has celebrity status.

TJ Rolo thrives on attention, whether he's patrolling the garden for pests, charming shoppers at PetSmart, or showing off his tricks—yes, he knows his left from his right and literally jumps through hoops. A bona-fide "celebri-cat," Rolo has been on TV before, including with the local NBC affiliate and radio station WTMJ. "Rolo is a bit of a ham, always needing attention. He loves spending time with his daddies, as well as hanging out in our yard. It is his job to keep the gardens pest free," owner TJ told Newsweek. Marty the cat taking his supervising role seriously. Marty the cat taking his supervising role seriously. Nancy Monicke Last but not least, this week is Marty, a 5-year-old cat often found supervising the goings-on around the house. "In my apartment there is no privacy and you are never alone. Marty insists the bathroom door remain open so he can "observe and supervise" any bathroom activities," owner Nancy Monicke told Newsweek. Behind the shower curtain, Marty watches like a furry little guardian, completely hidden, until you catch his eyes poking through the folds. He often leaves his owner in stitches. If you think your pet could be next week's Newsweek "Pet of the Week," send us your funny and heartwarming videos and pictures of your pet, along with a bit about them to life@ and they could appear in our "Pet of the Week" lineup.

Flustered Cane Corso Dad Trying to Get Away from His 'Kids' Is So Relatable
If you have kids, you'll totally be able to relate to Sangre, a huge Cane Corso, who is trying to get a drink of water, but is surrounded by his children and grandchildren who want all of his attention. You can tell how flustered he is by the adorable tiny pack of dogs who won't leave him alone! Black Guardianz, a Cane Corso breeder, posted a video of Sangre who went in for a drink of water but was quickly surrounded. He tries ignoring, walking away, and dodging the puppies. And it's a lot of puppies to try to get away from! Okay, but can we talk about how cute those Cane Corso puppies are? I'd love to be surrounded by a gaggle of those adorable pups, but I could almost see Sangre rolling his eyes, begging his brood to give him some space! I remember those days when my teenagers were toddlers, and while I probably didn't enjoy them all that much then, I sure do miss those days now!Viewers of the video must all be parents because, like me, they could relate to the scene. @fcwmanu pointed out, "Mom hollering in the back..." Another commenter said what Sangre was probably thinking, "'Damn let me get some water' LOL!" @Cookie and Khali shared, "The dad needs a day off haha!" And I couldn't agree more with @Debbie who said, "That's whole lot of cuteness!!!" Commenter @jessicalynn0413 laughed, "I guess they all tend to react this way to the puppies. Lol." Sangre's dad replied, "He plays with them. I just don't get it on camera too often." @Jessica said, "I'm sure. It's just funny how when too many of the babies come at once, the parents jet. Lol." and Sangre's dad responded, "He's a diva he don't want to step on them!" He's a good dad, just a flustered one! It's clear from this video that furry parents get as annoyed with their kids just as much as us humans do sometimes. I guess some things in our world and the animal world are very similar!

How a nightclub baron turned a gutted heritage building into a sculptural home
Camillo and Monika Ipolliti have done more than most big-name developers to put their stamp on Melbourne's landscape. As the founders of legendary venues such as Revolver, Cookie and the Toff in Town, the nightclub impresario and visual artist have played a part in crafting the city's cultural fabric, including helping pioneer the notion of the 'vertical laneway' at Swanston Street's Curtin House. It's little wonder that the risk-taking, style-forward Ipollitis – let's call them the Medicis of Melbourne – extended their vision to their own unique city home: a heritage-listed townhouse smack-bang in the middle of the CBD. Now on the market, 128-130 Little Lonsdale Street is a singular proposition from a colourful couple. The grand three-level Victorian-era Leitrim Hotel was constructed in 1888 for the Victoria Brewing Company in the heart of the city's notorious red-light district. It's subsequently had quite the life. A Chinese cabinetmaker later occupied the site until the 1920s, and it was converted into offices in the 1980s. Monika encountered the building – 'One of the most beautiful in the CBD, and we have a lot,' she explained– purely by chance in 2008. She and Camillo had just finished renovations on their North Balwyn home when a chance left-hand turn driving through the city revealed the 'for sale' sign. 'My husband absolutely hated me for a minute,' she said, 'because we'd just finished this perfect house, and then I went and upended everything again.'
