These Never-Before-Seen Photos of Princess Diana Offer a Glimpse into Her Early Life

There are some public figures we just never stop thinking about, and Princess Diana is definitely one of them. Nearly three decades after her death, people are still fascinated by who she was behind the headlines and royal drama. That’s why a newly announced auction is already getting a ton of attention. A collection of never-before-seen photos and personal correspondence is about to go up for sale, offering a rare glimpse into Diana’s life long before she became the Princess of Wales. The timing feels especially timely too. July 1 would have marked Diana’s 65th birthday, while July 29 marks the anniversary of her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles . And now, right in between those dates, a collection from one of her childhood friends is giving royal fans a chance to see the teenage Diana few people ever knew. So what, exactly, is in the collection, and what do these newly revealed photos tell us about the woman who would become one of the most famous people in the world?...

Toy Story 5 Is Almost Here! Here’s a Cheat Sheet to Refresh Your Memory on the First 4 Movies Before Watching the New One

Brace yourselves. It’s been three decades since Woody, Buzz and the rest of Andy’s toys lit up the screen in the original Toy Story . Wait— Toy Story is 30? Yep, and the fifth outing of this hilarious and incredibly sweet series of movies will hit theaters on June 19 . Ostensibly about a room full of toys that come to life when people aren’t looking, the Toy Story franchise is a beautiful, touching tribute to childhood, filled with joy, heartbreak, worry and loss. I first saw Toy Story in 1995 like everybody else who wasn’t at a Pearl Jam concert or a screening of Clueless . (I told you, it was a long time ago.) If, like me, you’re having trouble remembering the ’90s, the movie or any of the subsequent sequels (and decades), it’s pretty clear we’re all going to need a recap. Ahead, I’ll take you through the original Toy Story and all three direct sequels—plus give you a bonus sneak peek of the newest one—just in...

Here’s Everything We Know About Taylor Swift’s New Song for Toy Story 5

Along with all the chatter around Taylor Swift’s wedding , there’s another surprise storyline taking over our timelines. Swift is stepping into the world of Pixar with an original song for Toy Story 5 , and it already feels like one of those pop culture crossover moments that’s going to stick around for a while. What makes all of this even more interesting is the direction of the film itself. Toy Story 5 , set to hit theaters on June 19, will be about modern childhood, where traditional toys are being replaced by tablets, apps and digital entertainment. That shift gives the Toy Story universe a new emotional angle, especially for a franchise that has always been about what it means to be needed.

These Are the Names for the 2026 Hurricane Season—See If Your Name Is on the List

The Atlantic hurricane season is officially underway, and while we’re busy battening down the hatches , our eyes also turn to the list of hurricane names that will be used this season, which started on June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. Given the devastation hurricanes bring, many of us look for our name with a sense of unease—who wants to be associated with a weather event that causes death and destruction to the tune of $150 billion a year? Still, it’s our name in print! Which is … kind of exciting, right? OK, I take it back. Apparently, Allison was such a devastating storm that we will never see another one named after me ever again—a distinction I’m not sure how to process. Ahead, I’ll take you through the list of the planned hurricane names for 2026 , explain why we use them, who chooses them and when (or if) you might see your name on the list—whether you like it or not. Read on to learn the hurricane names you may be hearing a lot a...

Still Chasing That Euphoria High? These 8 Shows Are Just as Addictive

Still not over the fact that Euphoria is over? I’m definitely not. It was one of those shows that you’d sit down to watch one episode of … then find yourself still watching three hours later, before finally abandoning all hope of doing anything else . There was just something about that very specific, glossy-but-chaotic Southern California world filled with teens trying to survive their bad decisions that reeled us in. And without giving away any spoilers , let’s just say that finale didn’t exactly make it easier to move on. If you’re here, I’m guessing you’re also in that post- Euphoria void with me—rewatching edits and craving another teen show that hits the same nerve. So I pulled together a list of shows that give you a similar rush: messy high school dynamics, emotionally charged friendships, complicated relationships and characters that feel too real for comfort—or so incredibly unrelatable, they’ll keep you h...
