Congratulations are in order — we’ve survived another chaotic Wicked press tour. To wrap things up, Cynthia Erivo surprised choir students at her London high school (it’s best to watch the video with tissues), Ariana Grande appeared on Amy Poehler’s podcast (we’re still not over Grande’s update on her music career), and Erivo and Grande held space for each other one last time. The only thing left to do? See the film, which some are boldly calling “better than the first.” We’re ready to be changed...for good.

Since everyone watches women’s sports now, we know exactly what you’ll be doing tomorrow at 8 pm ET: Rooting for the Washington Spirit or Gotham FC as they face off in the 2025 NWSL Championship (on CBS and Paramount+) — expected to be action-packed and completely up for grabs. Follow our coverage of one of the biggest weekends in women’s sports here, and keep an eye on our YouTube and Spotify channels for a special edition of our Well Played podcast.

Binge the first five episodes here.

Just ask Resident Cool Girls Dakota Johnson and Sabrina Carpenter. Or, grab this undeniably chic, under-$100 option for yourself.

Purists, avert your eyes: These are the seven Thanksgiving rules chefs say you can ignore. While we’re not totally sold on the first, we’ll happily go rogue with dessert — particularly when it’s these kid-friendly, crowd-pleasing Pumpkin Ooey-Gooey Bars. Oh, and if they don’t last until Thanksgiving? Well, guess you’ll have to make them again.
