Which is your favorite couple? via MsMojo


Kelly Ripa has been a Live co-host for the past 25 years, and in an era where most shows don't make it past the first one or two, that's certainly something to celebrate.
During an interview with Variety, Ripa looked back on her time as a daytime television talk show host and explored some of her favorite moments. The early 2000s being what they were, there were some doozies!
But Ripa's favorite moment goes back to when she was pregnant with her second child, but so early in her pregnancy that she did not share the news with anyone besides her husband.
That did not stop one of that week's guest stars, popular psychic Char Margolis, from figuring it out.
The first surprising detail of this story is that Ripa had not expected to be there at that time; she was filling in for a co-host who could not be there, and she was swapped in at the last minute. There was no way for the guest star to have known that Ripa would be there, let alone have time to research her.
Ripa, again, also had not shared the news that she was expecting with anyone besides her husband, so there shouldn't have been a way for Margolis to know that, either.
But when she stepped on stage, the psychic cut right to the chase, stating that she'd overheard that Ripa was married, and Margolis recognized there was another important presence in her life, her grandmother, who watched over her from beyond.
Ripa became emotional, acknowledging that her grandmother had been very important to her, but Margolis's next observation cut to the quick, stating that Ripa's grandmother was also looking over a child who would come into her life.
When Margolis questioned if Ripa was expecting a child, Ripa laughed sheepishly and admitted:
"I haven't told my boss yet!"
Looking back on that moment, Ripa was still awestruck by the experience.
"It wasn't like she could research me. I was not supposed to be here!"

This isn't just one of Ripa's favorite moments from the show, either. It's become such a phenomenon that the interaction between the two women has been widely shared online, with some people recognizing it without ever having watched a full episode.
One recent posting appears on Instagram here, where fans are still fascinated by it.

Whether you believe in psychics or not, this is one of those weird coincidences that's thoroughly entertaining to think about and to watch happen live.
Perhaps it was a total fluke, and Margolis went with a commonly loved relative, but it's a little tougher to explain her guessing a pregnancy that she could be wrong about—on stage in front of everyone.
Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene condemned President Donald Trump's administration in a series of tweets after Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning.
The war against Iran is already spreading beyond its initial battlefield. Iranian reprisals have struck Gulf states hosting U.S. bases—including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—while Hezbollah has entered the fight, firing rockets into Israel and ending a month-long ceasefire.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the mission is to destroy Iran’s missiles, production capacity, navy and security infrastructure and ensure it never develops nuclear weapons. But what comes after those goals are met remains unclear. Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Trump said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule."
Greene wrote the following in a since-deleted post on X:
"“The Trump admin actually asked in a poll how many casualties voters were willing to accept in a war with Iran??? How about ZERO you bunch of sick f**king liars. We voted for America First and ZERO wars.”
You can see her post below.

In a follow-up, Greene argued that the administration had betrayed its campaign pledge of “No More Foreign Wars, No More Regime Change,” noting that Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their allies promised to put “America FIRST.”
She said her generation had been “let down, abused, and used” by endless conflicts that left “thousands and thousands” dead or wounded, and warned that younger Americans were being “abandoned.” Greene skeptically invoked the justification of “freeing the Iranian people,” adding a dismissive “Please.”
She added:
"There are 93 million people in Iran, let them liberate themselves. But Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Yeah sure. We have been spoon fed that line for decades and Trump told us all that his bombing this past summer completely wiped it all out. It’s always a lie and it’s always America Last."
"But it feels like the worst betrayal this time because it comes from the very man and the admin who we all believed was different and said no more. We thought the victory won in 2024 would be finally time to put America First. And we thought that meant the common American man and woman and their children. Not the elites. America has suffered and they don’t even care."
"Hundreds of thousands of American small business owners lost their hard earned businesses during tyrannical covid lockdowns, that by the way, started under Trump with 15 days to slow the spread and continued under Biden and Democrats. There is no difference between them."
"Vaccine injuries, deaths, delays and loss in our tax payer funded education, record high suicides, record high Big Pharma profits and ZERO accountability for anyone from the MAGA America First administration as they run off to start wars and the board of peace at the same time. Create the crisis and the solution simultaneously and then build condos to profit. MAGA!"
"For years we demanded to release the Epstein files, demanding transparency and justice for thousands of victims, women and children, by the richest most powerful men in the world and we had to fight Trump himself to do it, even after we all campaigned on it."
"And not a single person has been arrested and likely won’t be, no accountability, no justice. Instead, we get a war with Iran on behalf of Israel that will succeed in regime in Iran."
Greene denounced the conflict with Iran as “another foreign war for foreign people for foreign regime change,” repeatedly asking “For what?” She argued it would not ease inflation she blamed on “BOTH Democrats AND Republicans,” nor make health care or housing more affordable, stop AI job loss, or address addiction and mental health crises.
In her framing, war would do “nothing to help American families stay together and survive,” portraying it as detached from Americans’ everyday struggles:
"Does it lower our inflation that our government caused? Caused by BOTH Democrats AND Republicans with their decades of corrupt government spending that has enslaved us all in nearly $40 Trillion in debt and reduced the value of our dollar to nothing. No, war with Iran does not lower inflation and make cost of living affordable."
"Does war with Iran fix our healthcare system and make health insurance affordable for Americans?? No war with Iran does not do that and the MAGA admin and Republicans aren’t even working on it in any serious way at all. Does war with Iran stop AI from replacing your job? Nope."
"Does war with Iran help you to be able to afford to buy a home? No, but you’ll see TikTok videos of nice penthouses when Gaza is rebuilt. Does war with Iran help the mental health crisis in America or help the drug addiction pandemic in America? Nope."
"Does war with Iran do anything to help American families stay together and survive? No, not at all."
Greene pointed to reports that bombs from Israel killed “approximately 40 innocent girls, school children,” linking that claim to what she described as thousands of children killed in Gaza, adding:
"Since they won’t solve America’s problems clearly they don’t care about our kids either. Now, America is going to be force fed and gas lighted all the 'noble' reasons the American 'Peace' President and Pro-Peace administration had to go to war once again this year, after being in power for only a year. Head-spinning, but maga."

Others have also condemned the Trump administration's actions even while acknowledging that Greene was once a die-hard MAGA supporter who voted for the man who has thrown the country into yet another war in the Middle East.
Once a prominent ally of Trump's, Greene has turned against the administration, becoming a target for Trump and MAGA Republicans in the process.
In December, she likened Trump to "evil people" after the Department of Justice released thousands of new Epstein files documents, many of which included references to Trump, who has for months pushed back against efforts to make the files public.
Trump distanced himself from Greene after she told Politico that she thinks Trump is going in “insanely the wrong direction" by pushing back against efforts to release the Epstein files. She called releasing the files and supporting the victims of the late financier, sex trafficker, and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein "just like the most common sense, easiest thing in the world."
In January, she accused the Trump administration of violating "America First" principles in its decision to invade Venezuela, a move she said is aimed at securing control over Venezuelan oil supplies. Greene argued the administration moved ahead with the plan to oust dictator Nicolás Maduro to ensure stability ahead of a likely future regime-change war with Iran.
Now that Iran has already been attacked—and that the administration concedes more Americans will die as the conflict continues—Greene's remarks clearly hit the bullseye.
Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters is looking a little more golden this week after earning a spot in the Criterion Collection. As Variety reported, the hit animated film will join the home-video label alongside another major Netflix release, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein.
Since 1984, the Criterion Collection has licensed, restored, and distributed what it calls “important classic and contemporary films.” Known for high-quality transfers and special features, Criterion releases are widely seen as a mark of prestige.
Both Frankenstein and KPop Demon Hunters fall into the contemporary category. The two Netflix titles are among the most talked-about films of 2025, and both are in the Oscar race.
For those living under a rock: KPop Demon Hunters was the viral hit of the summer, eventually becoming Netflix’s most-streamed film ever. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the movie quickly became more than a streaming success.
Its breakout song, “Golden,” became the first K-pop track to win a Grammy, and the film is nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.
According to Luminate, the soundtrack was “single-handedly responsible for around 43 percent of U.S. K-pop streaming volume” by early August—an eye-catching number for a film that didn’t exist in the public conversation at the start of the year.
A high-ranking K-pop executive told Rolling Stone:
“Nothing’s ever gone this big off of a Netflix property. It’s pure K-pop. There are no fan wars. There are no label wars. There’s no artist drama. There’s none of the issues that groups face amongst each other.”
Beyond the prestige factor, Criterion inclusion also guarantees a physical release, something Netflix rarely does on its own. For collectors, that alone is reason to celebrate.
Meanwhile, del Toro’s Frankenstein, inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic novel, stars Jacob Elordi alongside Oscar Isaac, Christoph Waltz, and Mia Goth. The director spent decades developing the project, which has earned nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Motion Picture.
Still, not everyone is thrilled about KPop Demon Hunters joining the Criterion ranks.
X user @KaiserBeamz reacted to the announcement:
“KPop Demon Hunters getting into the Criterion Collection before any film from Satoshi Kon, Ralph Bakshi, Mamoru Oshii, Don Bluth or Sylvain Chomet might actually kill me.”
That reaction wasn’t unique. Some self-described film purists questioned whether the pop-forward Netflix hit belongs next to titles like The Seven Samurai and Wild Strawberries. Others pushed back, arguing that Criterion has always embraced a wide range of films—including genre entries like The Blob (spine #91) and Michael Bay’s Armageddon (spine #40).
The debate quickly spread across social media, with timelines split between outrage and celebration.







The film’s impact, however, is hard to ignore. The soundtrack helped propel fictional group Huntr/x to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the first time an all-women group topped the chart since Destiny’s Child did it with “Bootylicious” in August 2001.
The cast has performed “Golden” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, further bringing the track into the mainstream.
Worldwide, fans from New York to Singapore to Buenos Aires have posted videos singing along. The song topped both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Global 200 and has remained on the charts for 35 weeks and counting.
Next up is the Academy Awards on March 15, where “Golden” is nominated for Best Original Song and the film is up for Best Animated Feature.
EJAE reflected on why the song connected globally:
“Yes, there aren’t as many Korean lyrics. The songs are part of the storyline, so the lyrics have to be understandable. It was all very strategic with where to put Korean so that [it] doesn’t interfere with the storyline, and that’s why there was more English. So it is a K-pop song, and it’s also a pop song.”
The approach has paid off. Along with its Grammy win, the song has earned major awards recognition and is one of only two Original Song nominees set to be performed live at this year’s ceremony.
EJAE shared the mindset behind the success:
“This is my motto with anything: Do your frickin’ best. Give it your 110%. Never half-ass anything.”
With record streaming numbers, chart success, awards attention, and now a place in the Criterion Collection, KPop Demon Hunters has crossed from streaming hit to cultural moment. Whether every film traditionalist agrees is a debate that doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon.
Fast food giant Burger King might be the home of the Whopper, but there's another patty that has earned the burger chain a fair amount of unwanted attention.
The patty in question is an AI chatbot named, you guessed it, "Patty," intended to improve the customer experience at the chain's franchises.
Part of a new web and app platform called BK assist, Patty's main goal is to offer training and support for Burger King staff.
This includes helping staff members remember ingredients to limited time menu offerings and alerting them if an item is no longer available.
However, what has gotten everyone talking about Patty is that it will also analyze conversations between staff and customers, in an effort to collect data on their "friendliness."
While a representative from Burger King told NBC News that Patty isn't intended to "score" Burger King staff, nor will they listen to all their conversations, they will start listening to them as soon as they begin placing an order with a customer, and will gather data points using key words such as "please" and 'thank you."
In the words of Burger King's Chief Digital Officer, Thibault Roux:
"One of the ways that we started this was, you know, picking certain keywords."
"... but it’s one mechanism that was used to iterate on how to define friendliness."
"It’s really a coaching tool, right?"
"To help you as an employee become more hospitable, and we’re going to help you also with certain operation flaws that may occur that can be a little bit complex."
Roux went on to clarify, however, that customers shouldn't expect AI to replace Burger King staff members, saying they have tested it in close to 100 restaurants, but still feel it was a "risky bet."
Patty was met with a hefty amount of skepticism on X (formerly Twitter), with many feeling this was akin to replacing workers with AI bots, and others pointing out that BK could improve friendliness and workflow with higher wages and better working conditions:
Patty is currently being tested in close to 500 U.S. Burger King locations, and the company plans to launch it nationwide by the end of the year.
Scream star Matthew Lillard finds Jacob Elordi absolutely irresistible—and, like, yeah... who doesn't?!
In an interview with Yahoo's Off the Cuff, Lillard admitted he's "obsessed" with the Australian star, calling him "freaking delicious" and even effusively praising his taste in handbags.
Sounds like someone's got a bit of a celebrity crush!
Lillard spoke with Yahoo about his new starring role in the latest Scream film, Scream 7.
One of the original cast members from the first 1996 film, Lillard reunited with fellow O.G. costars Neve Campbell, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, David Arquette and Courteney Cox for the film.
But it seems like Lillard's mind was far more focused on Lillard than his colleagues. Asked what his latest "obsession" is, Lillard said:
"Jacob Elordi. He's so freaking delicious."
Right. Same. But what does the married (to a woman, real estate professional Heather Helm) father of three see in Elordi?
“Because I do think he is like, so masculine, yet carries this female bag, and he looks divine, and I’m like, ‘Do I need that bag?’"
"That’s so not me. I have the same set of clothes for the last ten years. I literally have a shirt in my closet that I have had longer than I have been married.”
Now that's star quality. Such is the power of Jacob Elordi!
Naturally, fans online were all about Lillard's latest "obsession," especially given that he's a straight man unafraid to swoon over another man.
Elordi is, of course, one of the hottest stars around at the moment.
Having just appeared in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, he's rumored to be in talks to be the next James Bond in the upcoming 26th Bond film, directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.
If it happens, Elordi will be the first Australian to play 007 since George Lazenby's turn in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Lillard, too, is having a bit of a moment, hitting a second career chapter at the age of 56. In addition to Scream 7, he's recently appeared in films like Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, The Life of Chuck and the series Daredevil: Born Again and Cross.
He told Yahoo:
“Having been around a hundred years, I understand this too will pass. All of it ebbs and flows."
"I can appreciate it way more than when I was younger.”
He'll next be seen in the upcoming series adaptation of Stephen King's iconic novel Carrie.
