“Jason, why didn’t Jason bring jeans for Jason?”

When men leave the house, they have a little internal checklist they do to make sure they’re all set: phone, wallet, keys. You want to know what that checklist looks like for women? Phone, wallet, keys, purse, wipes, water, kids, kids’ phones, kids’ snacks, homework, bills, need new tires, better stop for gas, need air in tires too, should I get a car wash? What time will I be back? Should I let the dog out? What should I make for dinner? I should have pulled something out…” That’s why people are loving Travis Kelce calling out his brother for relying on his wife to bring him a pair of pants when he could have, you know, brought himself his own pants.

During the brothers’ podcast, they had a hilarious exchange when talking about their red (well, green) carpet ‘fits for the Kelce documentary premiere. Whereas Travis arrived in a shirt custom-made from Chanel scarves, Cartier sunglasses, and white calfskin boots by Alessandro Vasini, Jason posted up in a black T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. And wouldn’t you know it—Jason tried to place the blame for his fashion faux pas on his wife, Kylie.

“I was going to have jeans on, but Kylie was running late. I came straight from football, Kylie was going to bring the jeans. Kylie was late,” he said.

Travis immediately called him out, saying, “Jason, why didn’t Jason bring jeans for Jason?” He also pointed out that Jason and Kylie share three daughters, and maybe Kylie was busy putting jeans on them.

Thankfully, Jason quickly admitted that this was not his wife’s fault, saying, “She was too busy getting the entire family situated with the babysitter and then getting herself ready and making sure her parents were with her.” Exactly.

In the comments, people loved seeing Travis stick up for Kylie.

“Travis understanding and explaining the mental load is my favorite part of this!!!” one commenter wrote. Another added, “🤣🤣 difference between a single man and married one. ‘Why didn’t Jason bring jeans for Jason’ 🤣🤣🤣. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

And that’s that on that.

Bananas—and so much more—are on the menu at Universal Orlando Resort’s brand-new Minion Land

The red carpet has been rolled out—just watch for banana peels—because Universal Orlando Resort is celebrating the grand opening of a brand-new Minion Land. The exciting addition to the central Florida theme park resort is part of an overall initiative to offer more attractions geared toward families with younger children—and we were one of the first to explore the colorful streets inspired by the beloved characters.

Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida occupies the resort’s original park and features an entire block—now known as Illumination Avenue—adorned with attractions, whimsical eats, and meet and greets all centered around the Despicable Me franchise, the highest-grossing animated film franchise of all time. The new land is a collaboration between Universal’s award-winning creative time and Illumination’s acclaimed filmmakers.

Let’s take a look at the mischief and mayhem that awaits.

This is a game-changer for families with younger kids

The banana-loving, mischief-making Minions have long been a part of the park, from parade appearances to the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride—and the decision to expand upon that footprint was simple. “People love these characters, and they love these films,” Mike Aiello, senior director of entertainment creative development for Universal Orlando Resort, shared with us.

Immersive, family-friendly simulator attraction Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, was the park’s first large-scale foray into the adorable world of the Minions and is a surprisingly heartwarming ride that’s been overwhelmingly received. Now the theme park destination which is known for high-level thrills is putting the focus on families with the creation of even more experiences targeted towards the younger park goers.

“Everyone knows we do thrill rides, and we do intense experiences, but we also do family really well,” Aiello shared at the land’s preview event. “Being able to increase the portfolio that offers something for everybody, that is what this is about. It truly is something that you can experience together. It just speaks towards the want and need to keep families engaged as a family together.”

Villain-Con Minion Blast is a brand-new attraction

new Minion Land at Universal Resort Florida

A pioneering new attraction joins the existing Despicable Me Mayhem as the heart of the land. Inspired by Minions: The Rise of Gru, Villain-Con Minion Blast is Universal’s most customizable ride ever built, impressively marrying interactive game-based technology with immersive practical set pieces. It’s both familiar and unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The concept is simple: Blast to earn points and all the glory on the attraction’s leaderboard—but it’s also much more than that.

Players compete in a showdown to become a member of the Vicious 6, a supergroup of villains from the film. Never before done, riders aren’t aboard traditional attraction vehicles but instead a moving conveyor belt. With this new system, there is no height requirement making this a true family-friendly ride. Guests are equipped with self-supported blasters, called E-Liminator X, with a smaller blaster available for younger guests.

new Minion Land at Universal Resort Florida

Unlike other straightforward blaster-style attractions, like Universal’s MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack and Disney’s Toy Story Mania, this is a layer-filled, choose-your-own-adventure of sorts.

Villain-Con Minion Blast is Universal Orlando’s first leap into a truly connected experience where the mobile Universal Orlando Resort app enhances and works in real-time with the attraction. This means that every ride can be a completely new experience.

With the ability to customize, it offers that desired ride-ability factor. On each mission, the objective and the villains represented may be different. Universal creatives also shared that guests can expect seasonal content to be incorporated into the attraction, like pumpkins during Halloween and even flaming turkey legs during the Thanksgiving season.

The app extends the fun beyond the attraction itself, and into the ride’s queue and land, with the ability to unlock new content visit after visit and earn more powerful blasts during gameplay. A collectible loot feature mimics a classic scavenger hunt and sees app users exploring the land to uncover the bounty. With one scan of a phone, it connects to your virtual collectibles and is a fun way to experience the land from a different vantage point.

For those adverse to technology, the attraction can be enjoyed at face value as a next-generation blaster-style ride without ever turning on the app as the player’s score will appear on the blaster itself.

Simply put, this is a clever attraction that’s a load of fun no matter at what level you commit to playing it.

Whimsical eats await in Minion Land at Universal Resort—and it’s way more than bananas

new Minion Land at Universal Resort Florida

Universal Studios Florida excels with wildly inventive eats—from Harry Potter-themed, snow-capped pubs, to The Simpsons’ Fast Food Boulevard—but Minion Land raises the bar on both creativity and execution.

The new land houses four new options, from grab-and-go snacks to sit-down dining. Bake My Day is an adorable cupcake shop serving up a hefty dose of whimsy with Minion-fueled sweets. Insider tip: We recommend that you try the standout banana cream Swiss roll. Two snack stands dishing fun eats to parkgoers, including Minion-themed ice pops at Freeze Ray Pops and banana-flavored popcorn at Pop-A-Nana, have already proved ever so popular.

new Minion Land at Universal Resort Florida

Its marquee dining location, Minion Café, is perhaps the land’s most ambitious feat, fusing elements of fast casual dining with table service in an immersive setting. Amongst its three highly themed dining rooms, diners can soak up the air conditioning while getting a glimpse of colorful art pieces and eye-catching details.

The menu is a merry mashup of kid-friendly eats and inspired foods with global flair—but it’s all far beyond the expected theme park eats. The food delivers the fun to the fork, from a green tomato bisque topped with crispy pork belly and basil oil to a delightful salsa roja braised beef. There are also plenty of familiar eats with a playful twist for the pickier eaters, like addictive Minion-shaped tots and a stuffed pizza. With all eats under $20, it also offers affordability and elevation in the theme park culinary landscape.

Illumination Theater is where you can meet your Minion friends

While the land itself is a bounty of colorful photo ops and murals, Illumination Theater serves as the main hub for character meet and greets—because you can’t come to Minion Land and not meet one of the adorable yellow friends!

The art deco-inspired theater features screen-based, digital posters offering the ability to switch out the characters throughout the day. Here, guests can meet the characters like Gru, Margo, and Agnes, but also other popular characters from hit Illumination films.

What else can families expect in the future?

The good news for families with younger kids? Universal Orlando Resort will be welcoming another kid-centric land in 2024 inspired by beloved movie characters from DreamWorks Animation. Its focus will be attractions and interactive play spaces that bring popular franchises like Shrek and Trolls to life.

Kids and adults alike will love Minion Land at Universal Resort, Florida

Rich with storytelling, Illumination films have resonated with people of all ages—and that sentiment is evident in Universal’s newest land. It’s a place where parents won’t just take a backseat to watch their kids at play, but they, too, become active and engaged participants.

In many ways, Minion Land accomplishes what so many other kiddie lands do not: it’s a destination-worthy land that can hold a candle to the likes of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It’s not tucked away in a back corner but instead, seamlessly blends in with the rest of the park as a transportive experience unique to its own. It’s truly tailored to the younger parkgoers but with broad appeal for guests of all ages.

At what was likely her final awards show, Christina Applegate used her cane to send a message about multiple sclerosis

When Christina Applegate attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles this past weekend, it was likely the last time she would attend that sort of event as a working actor. Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, Applegate has been open about the toll the disease has taken on her and how she’s winding down her career so she can focus full-time on her health. But she got one last message in.

On the red carpet, the Dead to Me star dressed in an all-black tuxedo ensemble to match her 12-year-old daughter, Sadie Grace LeNoble. And as the mother-daughter pair walked together, Applegate used a cane that had stickers on it reading, “FU MS.”

We couldn’t agree more.

“It’s my last awards show as an actor probably, so it’s kind of a big deal,” Applegate told the Los Angeles Times about the SAG Awards earlier this month. It’s an even bigger deal that she chose Sadie as her date, as Applegate has been open about the special bond she shares with her daughter at other public events.

Late last year, when she was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Applegate gushed about Sadie in her speech.

“You are so much more than even you know,” she said, through tears. “You are so beautiful and kind and loving and smart and interesting and I am blessed every day that I get to wake up and take you to your school. You are my everything. Thank you for standing beside me through all of this.”

Applegate has also brought Sadie to walk red carpets with her at past events, and the two have sported matching outfits before as well.

Even though we started seeing the Valentine’s Day swag before Christmas Eve, we didn’t start paying attention to it until…well, now. The winter holidays definitely had our attention, and although Valentine’s Day snuck up on us fast, that doesn’t mean we can’t make sure our kiddos have something fun to honor Cupid’s Birthday. Obviously, V-Day was traditionally created for couples, but times have changed. Our little ones have our hearts, afterall, so it just makes sense for us to remind them, right?

Our shopping editors made sure to cover a ton of interests, ages, and personalities with these picks! From games to books to crafts and more, these Valentine’s Day gifts for girls are a serious win.

Get ready to see Viva Magenta everywhere. We’re not mad about it.

In case you missed it, Pantone named the 2023 Color of the Year. We’ve been rocking Veri Peri, a blue-violet shade that we’re betting you’ve been seeing these past 12 months, but with 2022 coming to a close, we’re leaning into our new color obsession for ’23: Viva Magenta. Even just saying it is enough to get us excited.

What is Viva Magenta? According to Pantone, it’s “a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. [It] is brave and fearless, a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.” How can we not be totally inspired?

This juicy pigment gives bold and rebellious vibes, but without being too harsh. According to Pantone, the color psychology embodies confidence, grace, and humanity. It also encourages us to remember that we never know what our family, friends, or strangers are going through, and to show up with empathy and compassion. We have zero argument with that.

You don’t have to just wear Viva Magenta, either! We have more than 50 ways to bring this good-mood hue into your life.

Kelly Clarkson may have just won the award for cutest mom-daughter “date night”

When your mom is Kelly Clarkson, it’s to be expected that that just comes with certain perks. For example, Clarkson attended Tuesday night’s People’s Choice Awards, but turned the glamorous, star-studded event into a mother-daughter date night with her eight-year-old mini-me, River Rose. Are we jealous of an eight-year-old right now? No comment.

Clarkson and River Rose spent the evening together, posing on the red carpet and rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s biggest stars. Clarkson wore a red ruffled gown, and River Rose was dressed to impress on the red carpet in a shiny gold dress. The two posed with celebs like Mariska Hargitay, as if this night could get any cooler. Not only did River Rose get to attend an A-list event with her momma by her side, both of them dressed to the nines, but she also got to meet Olivia Benson herself? That’s one lucky kiddo.

Todd Williamson/E! Entertainment/NBC

When her talk show won the Best Daytime Talk Show award, Clarkson took the stage and gave shout outs to River Rose, and her six-year-old son Remington, who was home sick the night of the event.

“Thank you all so much, this is awesome,” she said onstage. “I’m having a date night with my daughter, River Rose. And, Remy, I know you’re home, you’re not feeling well, baby. But this is cool to get, and thank you Niecy [Nash] for hosting my show while I was sick.”

Mark Von Holden/E! Entertainment/NBC

Clarkson continued, “This is very cool to get. This is where the people vote, and for the last 20 years that’s been my career. This is very important to me and this is why I have career: because y’all have been supporting me for that long.”

At the end of her speech, Clarkson hinted at even more fun ahead for her sweet date night with River Rose.

“Thank you all so much, I’m going to go have ice cream with my baby girl!” she said. Ending this event with a sweet treat? We can truly think of nothing better.
