Mike White’s Wild Hallucination, Dolly Parton’s Jeans, and Shoulder Pads Are Back
In This Episode: Mike White Hallucinated Season 3 of The White Lotus – The show’s creator dreamed up the new season while hospitalized in Thailand. Dolly Parton Launches "Joleans" Jeans – The country legend is dropping a denim collection inspired by her hit song. ‘80s Shoulder Pads Are Making a Comeback – The fashion trend is back in stores after resurfacing on the runway. Mike White Hallucinated Season 3 of The White Lotus The entire third season of The White Lotus came to creator Mike White in a dream—or more accurately, a medical hallucination. While scouting locations in Thailand, he was hospitalized with bronchitis and put on a nebulizer, which sent his imagination into overdrive. After two sleepless nights, the entire plot came to him. Producer David Bernad confirmed that what White envisioned is almost exactly what made it to screen. Dolly Parton Launches "Joleans" Jeans Dolly Parton is expanding her empire into denim with a new line called Joleans—a clever nod to her classic song Jolene. The limited-edition collection, created in collaboration with Khloé Kardashian’s brand Good American, is available online and in select Nordstrom stores starting today. With sizes ranging from XS to 5X and prices between $64 and $229, Dolly promises these jeans “make any butt look good.” Huge ‘80s Style Shoulder Pads Are Back in Fashion Fashion history is repeating itself—big ‘80s-style shoulder pads are back. Financial Times and Vogue have both reported on the trend, which first gained popularity among women aiming for a powerful, metropolitan look. After making a return on the runway last fall, blazers, suits, and blouses with oversized shoulder pads are now hitting stores. The real question is: Are they here to stay, or will they disappear as quickly as they did before?

Amazon Bids for TikTok, First-Grader’s Diamond Ring, and New iPhone Emojis
In This Episode: Amazon Makes a Last-Minute Bid for TikTok – With a U.S. ban looming, Amazon steps in to try and acquire the popular app. First-Grader Proposes with a Real Diamond Ring – A young girl gets a surprising gift from her new “boyfriend.” New iPhone Emojis Drop – Apple sneaks in fresh ways to express yourself, including a very relatable exhausted face. Amazon Makes a Last-Minute Bid for TikTok As the U.S. prepares to ban TikTok over national security concerns, Amazon has jumped into the mix with a late bid to buy the platform. The offer was reportedly presented to Vice President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, as President Trump awaits a deal before Saturday’s deadline. Other major players, including Oracle, Blackstone, and several investment groups, are also in the running. Meanwhile, Perplexity AI has suggested a new approach—rebuilding TikTok’s algorithm to meet U.S. privacy standards. With time running out, will Amazon come out on top? First-Grader Asks Classmate to Be His Girlfriend with a Diamond Ring Young love took an expensive turn when a first-grader gifted his crush a real diamond ring to win her over. Allie Phillips shared the hilarious moment on TikTok after her daughter came home with the jewelry, announcing she had a new boyfriend. The boy, Trevor, had taken the ring from his great-grandmother without anyone knowing. Once his mom saw Phillips’ Facebook post, the family quickly got the ring back—hopefully along with a lesson for Trevor about borrowing valuables. iPhone Users Have New Ways to Express Themselves Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update has quietly dropped eight new emojis, including a harp, a fingerprint, and a flag. But one in particular has caught everyone’s attention—the “exhausted” emoji. Featuring dark under-eye bags and an exasperated expression, it perfectly captures how many of us feel on a daily basis. If you’ve been waiting for a more accurate way to show your tiredness, Apple has you covered.

Brainless Bodies, Hooters' Family Makeover, and a Pregnant Bank Robber
The Headlines: Scientists Are Developing Brainless Human Bodies for Organ Transplants and Medical Testing Hooters Is Trying to Go Family-Friendly in a $300 Million Rebrand A Pregnant Woman Pulled Off Two Bank Heists—And Tricked Her Husband Into Being the Getaway Driver Scientists Are Working on "Brainless Bodies" for Organ Transplants In what sounds like a sci-fi plot, researchers are exploring the creation of bodyoids—human bodies grown in artificial wombs without brains or consciousness. The goal? To create a sustainable source of organs for transplants and a new way to test medications without using live humans or animals. While the concept raises serious ethical concerns, supporters argue that it could eliminate long transplant waitlists and revolutionize medicine by offering non-sentient test subjects. Scientists are proposing small-scale tests on animals first to see if the process is viable.Source Hooters’ $300 Million Makeover: Less “Hoot,” More Family-Friendly Hooters is in serious financial trouble, with around $300 million in debt and 40 locations shutting down last year. Their latest survival strategy? A family-friendly makeover they're calling "Re-Hooterization"—but some might call it "De-Hooterization." The plan includes: A stronger push toward a family dining atmosphere (yes, Hooters has a kids' menu). A menu overhaul with fresher ingredients. A shift away from the “Hooters Girls” image that made them famous. Will this work, or will it alienate the brand's core audience? Time will tell.Source Pregnant Woman Pulls Two Bank Heists, Tricks Husband Into Being the Getaway Driver In one of the wildest crime stories of the year, a woman in Poland robbed two banks while eight months pregnant—and convinced her husband to unknowingly be her getaway driver. Anna A., 37, got hooked on gangster movies during her pregnancy and decided to live out the fantasy. She told her husband she had a baby doctor appointment, then went inside the banks and pulled off armed heists. She was eventually caught, gave birth in prison, and just lost her appeal.

Bieber Unfollows Hailey, Jessica Simpson Drinks WHAT?!, and Yankees’ Home Run Frenzy
The Headlines: Justin & Hailey Bieber Spark More Divorce Rumors After Instagram Drama Jessica Simpson Drinks… Snake WHAT for Her Voice? Are the New York Yankees Cheating? Justin & Hailey Bieber Unfollow Each Other—For Real This Time Two months after Justin Bieber’s Instagram mysteriously unfollowed Hailey, she’s now returned the favor. As of March 31, Hailey is no longer following Justin, and this time, neither has blamed hackers. To make things even weirder, Justin posted some cryptic Instagram Stories, including a selfie captioned, “I tried to play nicey nicey.” He also shared a pic of Hailey with the song Jezebel by Sade, highlighting lyrics about a woman who “deceives people to get what she wants.” Yikes. No official statement from either of them, but… things aren’t looking great.Source Jessica Simpson Says She Drinks Snake Sperm for Her Voice Yes, you read that right. Jessica Simpson recently revealed that her vocal coach recommended an unusual Chinese herbal tonic, and when her team Googled the ingredients, they found it contained… snake sperm. She described it as being “like honey” (ew), and then casually added, “If you want a good vocal, you gotta drink snake sperm.” If this is the secret to hitting high notes, maybe we’re better off with autotune.Source Are the New York Yankees Cheating? The Yankees have come out swinging—literally. They hit 15 home runs in their first three games, leading some to wonder if they’ve got an unfair advantage. The secret weapon? Torpedo bats. Unlike traditional bats, these are thicker at the sweet spot, which helps hitters make better contact. But here’s the kicker—they’re totally legal under MLB rules. So, while some fans are side-eyeing their home run spree, the Yankees aren’t technically breaking any rules. They're just breaking records.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!
