There was what sounded like a scary situation involving the Duchess of Sussex during her royal tour with Prince Harry. Thankfully, it turned out fine in the end. Late Tuesday, The Associated Press reported a Kensington Palace spokesperson said that Meghan's (née Markle) solo visit to the Suva Market in Fiji had to be cut short because of "crowd management issues." Don't worry, she's wasn't harmed and reportedly even handled the ordeal with calmness.

According to The AP, the former Suits star visited Suva Market to meet female vendors, who are also involved in the United Nations Women's project "Markets for Change." Seeing as Meghan became a U.N. Women's Advocate for Women’s Political Participation and Leadership in 2015 and is a huge supporter of women in so many ways, this sounded like the perfect trip for the royal.

However, what was said to be a 15-minute visit was cut in half "due to concerns about the large crowd that came to greet her in the relatively confined space," The AP reported. Eventually, after "throngs of people spilled into surrounding streets," Meghan was "whisked through by security personnel."

People reported on Wednesday that during security's decision to escort Meghan from the market, it didn't appear (at least on the outside) that she let the concern affect her. Apparently, she was "calm and waved at the crowd" on her way back to her car.

A "royal source" also spoke with Entertainment Tonight and said about Meghan's visit being cut short, "The Duchess was only due to drop in at the market; it was only meant to be an extension of the reception at the High Commission. There were much bigger crowds than people had been anticipating and there were a lot of people cramped into the market."

On Monday, Reuters reported Kensington Palace released a statement saying Meghan was cutting back on royal tour events, but only for a couple of days. "After a busy program, the Duke and Duchess have decided to cut back The Duchess's schedule slightly for the next couple of days, ahead of the final week-and-a-half of the tour," the palace's statement read.

The reason behind her schedule change was never clarified, but seeing as she's pregnant with her first child, it would make sense if Meghan needed some extra time to rest between her busy royal tour schedule.

Despite all of the chaos, it sure seems like Meghan is handling everything like the professional royal she is.

Wandering the neighborhood collecting candy is the crux of the classic American Halloween celebration. We all know about the trick-or-treating tradition, but an alternative Halloween activity has been gaining popularity, and it’s called “trunk-or-treat.” Rather than going house to house in costume, this milder event has children simply taking sweets from decorated car trunks in a parking lot. And as a big fan of Halloween, I think that’s sad. In fact, I absolutely hate trunk-or-treat.

If you went door-to-door as a kid (and you probably did), you might remember the effort it took to procure a full pillowcase. How many houses did you have to hit up to achieve Halloween satisfaction? At trunk-or-treat, it’s a quick jaunt between rows of cars to come up with copious amounts of candy. No effort necessary on the kids’ behalf. As childhood seems to get more and more passive, this doesn’t sit well with me. Rather than playing outdoors with neighbors, more and more children sit inside staring at screens on a daily basis. Now you want them to skip the sidewalks entirely and just make a quick loop through a parking lot? Hard pass.

The trunk-or-treat origin story is actually a Christian one. The event began in the late 1990s when churches wanted to provide a safer, less “evil” alternative to traditional Halloween activities like trick-or-treating, Halloween historian Lesley Bannatyne told NPR. Many churches don’t approve of the devilish Halloween celebration, Bannatyne continued, so in order to make the holiday more palatable, they watered it down. And thus began the idea of collecting candy from decorated car trunks in daylight.

Perhaps it’s the pagan in me, but I relish the spooky elements of our beloved October holiday, as do my kids. The pageantry of the costumes, the fantasy of ghost stories and witch myths and the slight shiver of fear that comes with wandering around in the dark (or at least the dusk, for younger kids). Removing that small element of fright — however imagined — sucks the magic out of Halloween. And kids have so little magic these days, and childhood is so fleeting. Can’t they at least have trick-or-treating?

I accept that some neighborhoods actually shouldn't or can't have trick-or-treating. Churches aren’t the only ones hosting trunk-or-treat now, and it's not just because of spooky Halloween imagery and religious beliefs. Clubs, schools and other organizations are offering car-based candy collection as a safer alternative to trick-or-treating, and in crime-ridden areas, trunk-or-treat can be a real boon to the community. It’s awful that street crime can prevent kids from visiting their neighbors, and trunk-or-treat is a great way to let them celebrate in a safer space.

But of course, it's not just crime that prevents kids from knowing their neighbors. As community increasingly moves online, we’re less likely to socialize locally. Roaming the local streets to show off costumes and request candy is just one evening, but that's one more opportunity for actual, IRL contact with our community. 

On this spirited evening, we decorate our yards or doors, fill a bowl with candy and just have fun with each other. Whether greeting kids and complimenting costume choices as we toss treats into bags or escorting little ones from door-to-door, Halloween is a special night to mingle and rally around our children in their quest for candy and magic.

So, yes, my husband and I will take our kids out in the dark to wander the streets this Oct. 31. And if previous years are any indication, the kids will shriek with delight, race to join friends and work up the courage to knock on doors. And when we come home, they'll trade candy and gorge on sugar to their little devilish hearts’ delight. (After paying the parental candy “tax” of course.) And like every year, they’ll restart the countdown until next Halloween.

There's nothing more enjoyable when the weather gets cold and the leaves change colors than to snuggle up on the couch with some popcorn and binge-watch scary movies in the dark. But with dozens of streaming services out there and hundreds of horror titles to choose from at your fingertips, it's almost daunting trying to choose which ones you want in your lineup because, let's be real, some are just duds, and who wants to waste precious time on a not-scary movie during the spookiest time of the year? 

More: October Movies We're Most Excited For

If you want seriously scary movies you can watch instantly via your Amazon Prime, Hulu or Netflix accounts, look no further. We've got the only list you need. So get that popcorn ready, round up all your blankets and maybe leave your lights on while you watch — these scary movies warrant it.

1. Hush

Hush has a plot that any seasoned horror fan has seen before: A woman, alone in a house, tries to get away from a creepy killer who's stalking her every move. But what this Netflix original gets right is that they up the stakes, making the main character, Maddie, a woman who is losing her hearing abilities. Escaping from a killer is hard enough, but being unable to hear and living out the story from Maddie's perspective makes this an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Watch it on Netflix.

2. As Above, So Below

A found-footage movie that will actually chill you to the bone, As Above, So Below follows a young academic, her crew and a group of locals on the hunt for an otherworldly treasure. In order to find it, they have to go into the catacombs under the streets of Paris, but when they get there, they find out that venturing into the unseen city of the dead is full of horrors they never could have planned for. Watch it now on Netflix.

3. It Follows

The audience is introduced to Jay Height, a twentysomething who's attending college, hanging out with friends and going on dates in her spare time. One night, after hooking up with a date, we learn that the boy Jay has been hanging out with has passed something onto her, a kind of spectral attachment that is unseen but will eventually kill her unless she passes it on to someone else. Jay spends the rest of It Follows recruiting her friends to help her evade — and eventually challenge head-on — this supernatural evil. Check it out on Netflix.

4. The Sixth Sense

Haley Joel Osment sees dead people — a lot of them. This movie may have premiered a full 19 years ago, but make no mistake: The Sixth Sense is still one of the most frightening, engrossing horror movies in existence (I dare you to watch that scene with the little girl under his bed and not scream). Catch it on Netflix.

5. The Witch 

Set in 1630s New England, this movie features 15-year-old Thomasin and her family, who are cast out of their heavily Puritan town. Not long after, her baby brother disappears into the woods with a stranger as she's watching him. As though that weren't enough, her family soon has to deal with a seductive presence in the woods — a witch they suspect kidnapped and may have killed Thomasin's baby brother. It's a struggle to survive for this isolated family, and believe it or not, it just gets worse and worse. See what happens on Netflix.

6. The Descent

The Descent starts off as a slow burn of a film with the occasional jump scare as we follow a group of six women who try to navigate their way out of a remote cave. But midway through the movie, the stakes change entirely, and all six find themselves in a terrifying scramble to survive. Stream it now on Hulu.

7. The Blair Witch Project

Sure, it takes a while for The Blair Witch Project to get really scary, but it remains one of the more unnerving and memorable horror movies of the last 20 years. For most of the movie, the found-footage format (a relatively new narrative device at the time it was filmed in the late '90s) helps to build suspense and make us increasingly nervous watching this trio of budding filmmakers get lost (repeatedly) in the woods. By the time the movie reaches its climax, you'll be huddled under a blanket vowing never to go into the woods again. Catch it on Hulu.

8. Jacob's Ladder

In this film, Vietnam veteran Jacob Singer was injured in the Mekong Delta. He awakens later in New York City, remembering only bits and pieces of what happened and hallucinating one horrifying thing after another. Trying to grieve and process his trauma, Jacob has to figure out what's real and what is just his severely disturbed imagination. When you eventually figure out what's really happening to Jacob, you'll want to sue the makers of this movie for emotional distress. Watch it on Hulu.

9. Paranormal Activity

Unsuspecting couple Katie and Micah set up a surveillance system to record the creepy happenings at their house during the night. And boy, are there some creepy goings-on in this house! By the time the two decide to call in an exorcist, it might already be too late. This movie scared audiences, but it offers such an interesting premise that it spawned an entire franchise. See it all from the beginning on Amazon Prime.

10. Pet Sematary 

There's a lot to love about this 1989 cult classic based on the 1983 Stephen King novel of the same name. In the movie, Louis moves his family to rural Maine and discovers a pet cemetery behind his house that was built on an ancient Native burial ground. It seems that whatever is buried in the pet cemetery comes back to life — but as Louis eventually discovers, “sometimes dead is better.” Watch it for free with Amazon Prime.

11. The Cell

In The Cell, Jennifer Lopez is psychologist Catherine Deane, who has to go inside the brain of a serial killer (literally, she goes inside it, and yes, it is wild) to find the whereabouts of his latest victim before the girl dies. And, spoiler alert, the mind of a deranged serial killer is a pretty freaky place. Directed by Tarsem Singh, The Cell is as visually beautiful as it is totally terrifying. See for yourself on Amazon Prime.

12. 28 Weeks Later

Finally, what's a Halloween movie marathon without some zombies? This chilling sequel to 28 Days Later is arguably even better than the first, picking up 28 weeks after the initial outbreak of the rage virus. Just as the infected are starting to die of starvation and things are getting back to normal, two kids sneak back into their quarantined neighborhood to steal some family artifacts from their home. Surprise! The kids find their mother, infected by a zombie bite but strangely not raging or foaming like the other zombies. From there, viewers are taken through a series of pulse-pounding survival scenarios that will have you yearning for zombie movies that are a little more sedate. Check it out on Hulu.

There may be a lot of awareness around endometriosis, but there are still far too many misconceptions about this potentially debilitating condition. Because these misconceptions can potentially lead to diagnostic delays and impede early treatment, we spoke with women who have endometriosis about some of the more common misconceptions coming from the mouths of non-specialist doctors, friends and family. 

Dr. Mona Orady, an endometriosis expert and minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and obstetrics and gynecology expert Dr. Donna A. Richey, FACOG, explain why these are misconceptions.

“Nothing can be done about it, so a diagnosis wouldn’t help you”

“During one of my initial appointments with my GP, the doctor said I might have endometriosis but not much could be done,” says Sasha, 39. “I asked about fertility, and he asked if I had a partner. I replied no, and he then said to worry about it when the time comes. This was the worst piece of advice. I discussed pain and was given a lot of painkillers.” Fortunately, minimally invasive excision surgery is an effective option for people suffering from endometriosis — it’s not something you have to live with. 

“Endometriosis cannot recur after surgery”

“I have been told by my GP numerous times that I will not need further surgery and that endometriosis cannot recur so soon after surgery," says Elysha, 34. "My endometriosis returned after a seven-hour excision surgery. My surgeon may have missed it, or it just [came back].” 

According to Orady, endometriosis can recur after surgery, even if the goal is to remove as much of the disease as possible. “The gene that caused it is still there, so whatever caused it in the first place can cause it to come back,” she says. “Second, not all endometriosis is either visible or surgically removable, and often microscopic parts of the disease are left after surgery, which can grow later.”

“Getting pregnant will fix it”

This is such a common thing to hear in the doctor’s office when you present pelvic pain symptoms. “The worst advice I have ever received was from a gynecologist who told me to get pregnant right away,” says Kirstie, 25. “I was 21 and had just been diagnosed after years of suffering. This doctor informed me that pregnancy would cure my disease and would stop my periods for nine months. And if it didn't help, at least I'd have a nice baby at the end of it all.” 

Laura, 28, has been told the same thing by doctors. “I know symptoms usually decrease during pregnancy (from what friends have told me), but pregnancy is not a cure,” she says. “Most women end up having flares again after pregnancy. For me, this was so frustrating. First of all, just because I have a uterus does not mean I am ready to have a baby. I want to get pregnant because it’s something I desire, not just to ‘cure’ my disease. Second, it's not very logical to get pregnant for short-term relief. Once your hormones shift again, you will be dealing with regular endo flares, and then you have an infant to care for on top of that. I just don't see the logic in that thinking.”

“The exact cause of endometriosis is not known, so the way to fix endometriosis is not known,” Richey says. “During pregnancy, endometriosis is usually ‘quiet.’ It does not cause pain, but it can still be present inside the body.”

“Hysterectomy cures endometriosis”

“After my first laparoscopy, I got told by another consultant that I shouldn’t have bothered having it and that I should have just had a hysterectomy,” says Maria. “I was 27. I was shocked, to say the least.” 

“Endometriosis by definition is ectopic endometrium implanted outside the uterus in the pelvis, on different organs and beyond. Since endometriosis is not located inside the uterus, a hysterectomy does not treat the endometriosis,” says Orady. “It is the endometriosis itself that needs to be removed in order to treat the pain caused by it. The uterus is not the source nor the cause, but unfortunately is often the blamed innocent bystander.”

“Endometriosis only causes pain during your period”

“Ninety percent of people seem to think it’s all period-related,” says Gillian, 43. “Most of [my endometriosis] was involved in the bowel area with the added pleasure of major adhesions. People don’t understand that, with many of us, these symptoms just don’t go away. My daughter can’t understand why I was sat on the toilet at 3 a.m. this morning in agony having a bowel movement. Everyone thinks I can just be that same person I used to be.”

“In the early stages of endometriosis, most of the pain does occur around the time of the period, usually starting a day or two before the period, as the inflammation from the active endometrial implants begins right before the period actually starts,” says Orady. 

“However, as endometriosis grows and spreads, the inflammation becomes more active, fibrosis and distortion of nearby anatomy occurs, and the nerves and muscles start becoming tense and hyperactive. This causes pain outside the period and eventually leads to chronic pelvic pain, if left undiagnosed and untreated.”

“Endometriosis always involves heavy, painful periods”

“For years, I suffered from pain when urinating and having bowel movements,” says Maddie, 31. “I also had stabbing pains across my abdomen. At first I had my bloods done and multiple scans, but when nothing showed up, no one would take me seriously. I was diagnosed with IBS and given medicine to treat that — meanwhile, I was still in pain. 

“I can’t remember when someone first mentioned it could be endometriosis. It didn’t make sense for me at the time because I read that endometriosis is a disease which involves heavy, painful periods. I came to realize I was only in pain when I didn’t have my period! And my period was really light. This made me aware of the cynical nature of my pain, which got a lot worse during ovulation. It turns out, I’m not alone, I’ve met many other sufferers whose periods are really no big deal. This disease affects everyone differently.”

We're nearing the end of 2018 (can you believe it?), and baby names just keep getting wilder. No, really, like, wild-animals wild. Zooey Deschanel named her kids Elsie Otter and Charlie Wolf. Busy Philipps' menagerie? Birdie and Cricket.

So, yeah, time for you to get on the ball — and up your name game. At the very least, it's time to figure out who you might be if your parents had named you in this century, you ancient millennial slug, you.

Seriously, have you ever wondered what the totally extra 2018 version of your own blah '80s sitcom name might be? We've got a tip-top list of very au courant modern names — some of which you might want to consider for your own bebe. Think of it as a nice nod to yourself (hey, you're the one shoving that baby out your hoo-ha — that should earn you a place in his or her moniker) but with an oh-so-modern twist.

2018 girl names

Jessica → Jessana. Because you can. You can write anything on that line on the birth certificate. Why shouldn't the No. 18,464-ranked name for girls in 2012 become the No. 1 name for girls in 2018? Only you can prevent more Jessicas from being on this planet.

Ashley → Aisling. Pronounced "ASH-ling." If that's too much like "earthling" or "dumpling" for you, no probs. Drop that G like it's hot, and you've got ASH-lin. Oh, you and your little potato are so Irish, we can't even stand it.

Amanda → Amantha. Amantha is the witty, sexy, feminist niece of Southern belle Amanda. Amantha opts for bourbon on the rocks over a mint julep any day. Well, when she's of drinking age, that is. In the meantime, Amantha will school her teddy bears on gender issues and the nomination process for the Supreme Court. She will read Flannery O'Connor to her Barbies. This kid is such a cool cat babysitters will fight to give you Friday night off.

Brittany/Britney → Ardennes. Leave Britney alone already — Spears and the French region. Let's opt for another, often overlooked French province, shall we? Introducing Ardennes (the S is silent) — all the French prestige and mystery, none of the toxic, musky Kevin Federline residue (no offense, Brit-Brit. We love you, and that yellow snake was hot).

Sarah → Seraphia (also Serapia or Seraphim). Good story here. Seraphia's parents died in, like, 1 A.D. And all the guys were like, "I'll marry you, orphan Seraphia." But she was all, "No thanks. I'm consecrating myself to God and giving everything to the poor and selling myself into voluntary slavery to a Roman noblewoman." Then, being dudes of 1 A.D., they immediately tried to rape her, but girlfriend Seraphia beat them all to a pulp and became a saint. Seraphia was hardcore. Perfect for parents who know that hell is other people and who plan to enroll their daughter in self-defense classes by age 2.

Jennifer → Guinevere. Gwenovere. Genowefa. Oh, just go for it, already. Free the Jennifers from name slavery. You know you want to. And Queen Guinevere's tragic love affair with her husband's BFF, Lancelot, is so Real Housewives of Medieval Wales. In other words, it doesn't get more retro-modern. And your Guin will hopefully break the Gwyn spell and reassure women their lady parts don't need steaming or jade eggs.

Stephanie → Sairla. Gaelic. No, we don't know how to pronounce it either, but it's got to be better than Stephanie, right? SHAR-la? SHIRE-la? Go to an Irish pub, pound a few Guinnesses before you get pregnant, and ask the bartender how the hell to say Sairla.

Elizabeth → Lisbet. This is rumored to be the queen's childhood nickname, and we think it's high time for its revival. Too soft for you? Oh, fine. Add an H and you've got your own little Lisbeth Salander. 

Lauren → Lele (LAY-lay). Oh, man. It's got flavor, and it's got a cool Vine personality attached, you freaking hipster. Want to raise a girl nobody's gonna mess with? You get yourself a Lele.

Nicole → Nikola. For that Russian spy appeal. Or British Harrods clerk appeal. Either way, your Nikola will be just fine wherever she goes, and trust us, she'll go far. Jennifer Garner will play her in the movie someday.

Megan → Morgana. Wise woman or a witch? You decide after she's Krazy-Glued Lego pieces to the toilet seat. It's another mystical name snapped up from Arthurian legend, of course, because people really knew how to name babies then. We also groove on the variant "Morrigan," if she wants to cloak her powers.

Heather → Calluna. "To beautify, sweep clean" in Greek. It's actually the scientific term used for common Scotch heather (Calluna vulgaris), and OMG, we just figured out that the plant heather looks kind of broomlike. Minds blown. Perfect for families who secretly want to live off the grid and become herbalists and yak herders.

Amber → Amefleur. This name appears in The New York Times best-seller (heh) "A Generall Historie of the Netherlands" by Jean Francois Le Petit: "His bowells were carried ... and his body was interred with a Couent of Chartreux Monks called Amefleur." You had us at a Couent of Chartreux Monks, Jean Francois Le Petit.

Melissa → Salome. This woman wanted the head of John the Baptist on a platter (and got it with her slinky moves). Hell, now it's 2018. She's not picky. This baby girl will grow up to take any old white dude's head on a platter, and you'll never be so proud. RGB would love her.

Danielle → Danne. Rhymes with Jan. Why not a girl named Danne? Everyone will wonder. Dawn? Danny? Nope. Just Danne. Let them keep wondering. She's that kind of woman.

Emily → Millicenta. She can always rhyme it with "polenta" or "placenta." That's fun times right there for her and her kindergarten teacher.

Rachel → Roshan. Sanskrit for "shining light," previously a boy's name. We love the sound of it for a dreamy, sleepy little girl baby. And we're also pretty sure every name is supposed to mean "shining light" or "most beautiful," but somehow, we really believe it with Roshan.

Christina → Cristofora. Excellent for parents who don't want to advertise their Christianity or fondness for Christopher Columbus (who was actually Cristofor) on a billboard but kinda dig old weird Latin feels.

Michelle → Mihaila. Mee-HIGH-la. Serbo-Croatian derivative of Michael. Also, a street in Belgrade that you can make up a fabulous meet-cute story about. Or a he-knocked-me-up-there-cute story about.

Kayla → Laika. Sure, Laika (LYE-kuh) was a doomed one-way Russian space dog, but no more doomed than the hundreds of thousands of Kaylas, Makaylas, and Makennas wandering listlessly out there searching for a unique identity.

Rebecca → Raizel. Seeking that vaguely Old Testament vibe? Tired of all the Beccas in Bachelor Nation? Look no further than Raizel (rye-ZELL), which means, "rose" in Hebrew.

Katherine → Ketta. Seriously, how great is this name? It is linked to the Greek goddess Hecate (the one usually holding two torches or a key). Hecate is associated with "crossroads, entrance-ways, fire, light, the moon, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, necromancy and sorcery." Badass!

Courtney → Caoimhe, pronounced inexplicably as KEE-va, "gentle, beautiful, precious." Comes from the same root as Kevin if there's an Irish Uncle Kev in the fam you want to honor.

Amy → Amala. Arabic, we've read, meaning "bird" or "beloved." Sweet but with plenty enough gravitas to earn her Ph.D. in neuroscience.

A new celebrity mentor is set to join The Voice, and she’ll undoubtedly help the show hit a high note — literally and figuratively.  Per TVLine, Grammy Award-winning singer Mariah Carey will come on board season 15 to serve as a key advisor in the Knockout Rounds. According to the report, Carey’s stint on the NBC series starts Monday, Oct. 29, marking the pop diva’s return to TV and, more specifically, to reality TV singing competitions.

Carey's move to The Voice may surprise some fans given Carey’s past comments about her time as a judge on American Idol season 12. In interviews, Carey has called the gig “the worst experience of my life” and something she would “never want to be involved with” again. The music icon threw shade at Idol as recently as June, when she told Jimmy Kimmel her time on the show was “bleak.”

But it looks like Mimi is open to giving reality TV singing competitions another shot, and this time she’ll have the chance to collaborate directly with another strong female in entertainment: Jennifer Hudson, whose team Carey will mentor.

“The sessions with the contestants, some of them have completely blown me away,” Carey gushed in a Today show segment focused on the news, adding, “It’s like a humbling experience to be around all the raw talent.”

"The Pioneer Woman," Ree Drummond, wants you to cook up some fun — not just in your actual kitchen, but with her new Barbie kitchen play set too.

More: Ree Drummond Launches Her Own Line of Instant Pots, & They're Reasonably Priced

Drummond's The Pioneer Woman Barbie kitchen play set comes complete with a neon-hued kitchen, cooking tools and a Barbie doll that looks just like her too. (Well, not exactly, but close enough — it has the red hair, after all.)

"My set has a great kitchen and all the cooking accessories I love except they're teeny-tiny. I hope you love it," Drummond said in the promo video.

The kitchen set is now available and sold exclusively at Walmart for $44.88, but before it hit shelves, the Barbie doll was sent back for a few changes.

According to an interview with Delish, Drummond wasn’t a fan of the Barbie’s original wardrobe, which was initially a pair of sneakers and a T-shirt. “I immediately said, ‘You know, I wear sneakers maybe if I work out, and who knows when that’s going to be?’” Drummond said. 

Now, the Barbie is appropriately dressed, sporting jeans, boots and a loose-fitting floral-printed blouse.

The kitchen play set has everything kids will need to whip up tasty dishes, including more than 30 accessories. It even comes with a toaster that actually pops up toast and a mixer that spins with the push of a button.

The on-trend teal fridge has working double doors, pullout shelves and a lower freezer drawer. And the kitchen piece has everything you’d typically find in a kitchen: the sink, stove, an oven with a working door, countertops, an overhead microwave decal and two cabinets with working doors. The set also comes with grocery items and completed dishes.

Drummond was very hands-on with this set, tweaking every item and detail for over a year and a half. She even has a favorite item: the cast-iron skillet.

"The cast-iron skillet makes me smile, because you have this bright, colorful kitchen and a black skillet," she told Delish. "Everything may change, but a cast-iron skillet will never change."

But, wait. There’s more.

For $9.97, you can add on the pasta accessory set, which comes with noodles, utensils, a tiny adorable apron, an oven mitt, dishware and more.

McDonald's may be best known their french fries and burgers, but the fast-food chain also has a strong breakfast following. In fact, according to a 2015 study conducted by Instantly, McDonald's is America's favorite breakfast spot. And if you happen to be one of the millions who grabs their coffee and eggs from the chain every morning, we have good news for you: McDonald's has introduced a new breakfast sandwich, their first addition to the a.m. menu since 2013.

More: Sad News, Parents: McDonald's Is Removing the Happy Meal From Their Value Menu

According to a video released on McDonald's YouTube channel, the new sandwich, called the Triple Breakfast Stack, was inspired by "menu hackers," those who doctored existing menu items to fit their own needs. However, they no longer have to. 

The Triple Breakfast Stack includes two sausage patties, American cheese, bacon and an egg. It can be served on a McMuffin, biscuit or McGriddle. 

Of course, that's a lot of food for one sandwich. According to Business Insider, Stacks have three times more meat than other breakfast items. But with demand, the decision was a no-brainer.

“Our customers have told us they have been craving a bigger, more filling sandwich option in the morning," Linda VanGosen, vice president of menu innovation at McDonald’s, said in a press release.

Parents, listen up: Starbucks is no longer teens’ favorite place to hang out — and the restaurant chain that replaced it is beyond surprising.

According to the fall 2018 Piper Jaffray Taking Stock With Teens survey, Chick-fil-A is now the top restaurant for both upper-income and average-income teens. Sixteen percent of upper-income teens prefer it over Starbucks (12 percent), and 12 percent of average-income teens prefer it over the 10 percent of teens who chose Starbucks as their go-to restaurant.

The other restaurants in the top five for upper-income teens are Chipotle (8 percent), McDonald's (4 percent) and Dunkin' (3 percent). For average-income, No. 3 is McDonald's (7 percent) and tied for No. 4 are Chipotle, Taco Bell and Olive Garden (all 4 percent). 

Olive Garden may seem surprising, but considering it’s the one national restaurant chain that millennials aren’t killing off, looks like Generation Z won't either.

This is Chick-fil-A’s first time topping the list in this particular survey. According to Restaurant Business, Chick-fil-A wasn’t in the top five in 2010 for either set of teens, but has steadily moved up since.

“They’re just pushing everybody out,” Piper analyst Nicole Miller Regan told Restaurant Business.

Piper’s semiannual survey interviewed 8,600 teens. The teens surveyed were an average age of 16, and 36 percent were employed part-time. As far as income goes, three-quarters of the teens had an average household income of $56,000, and 2,400 teens had an average household income of $102,000.

Other top brands include Nike, Amazon, Sephora, Tarte and — wait for it — Michael Kors. Some other surprising brands that made their way into the top five in their respective categories are American Eagle and PacSun.

While teens are spending money on clothing, “they’re spending more on food,” Miller Regan said, adding that teens prefer “experiences over things.” For comparison, teens spend approximately 24 percent of their income on food and 21 percent on clothing.

The survey is honestly very interesting, covering everything from teens' preferred social media platforms (Snapchat is No. 1) and preferred streaming service (Netflix edged out YouTube, 38 percent vs. 33 percent) to smartphone habits (iPhone FTW). You can read the full survey here.

And as for all you parents out there, next time you can’t find your teen, now you know what your first stop should be.

From zombies to natural disasters, when it comes to movies dealing in apocalyptic scenarios, it feels like we've seen the world end in numerous ways. But Netflix's new movie, Bird Box, ups the ante, i.e. an unknown force causes individuals to see what they fear most... and then die.

The film, which stars Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson and John Malkovich, takes viewers on a thrilling and terrifying journey through a post-apocalyptic world where folks are trying to do one thing: survive. However, it quickly becomes apparent that doing so isn't easy because the force terrorizing people is largely unknown (and unseen in the trailer). As the trailer description for Bird Box (as seen on YouTube) puts it: "When a mysterious force decimates the world’s population, only one thing is certain: if you see 'it,' you take your life."

Yeah, that's totally not ominous or freaky or reminiscent of the other big 2018 horror movie about sensory deprivation, A Quiet Place, at all. 

In the trailer, we see protagonist Malorie (played by Bullock) and her sister (played by Paulson) leaving the hospital after Malorie, who is pregnant, gets an ultrasound. As the sisters are leaving, it becomes clear something is happening after people begin to seemingly hurt themselves without warning. As the trailer unfolds, we see Malorie has joined with a group finding shelter from this unseen terror and have to do everything to avoid seeing 'it' by hunkering down in a darkened house with covered windows. But at one point, one character says, "We can't stay here," and the group ventures outside, which definitely means things will likely get pretty bad pretty quickly; this definitely can't be good.

This isn't the first time Bullock and Paulson have shared the screen. Earlier this year, the pair starred together in the all-female ensemble heist comedy Ocean's 8. While Bird Box is a much darker film,  director Susanne Bier told People that the duo still brought some levity to the set, ostensibly capitalizing on their previous working relationship.

“They are a bit like sisters. Like between takes, they were talking one time and I was like, ‘Hey girls, I’m actually trying to direct you,'" Bier said. "It was hugely important that there be a sense of humor in it, that it wasn’t gonna be a just entirely dark, scary film.”

It's nice to know that Bullock and Paulson helped keep spirits high while filming because, if the trailer is any indication, Bird Box is going to be a serious thrill ride. Keep an eye out for the film when it drops on Dec. 12.

Chrissy Teigen's mom is officially a United States citizen, and she couldn't have done it without toddler Luna by her side. Vilailuck Teigen, who lives with her daughter and son-in-law John Legend, passed her citizenship test on Wednesday and was all smiles as she and Luna said the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chrissy Teigen shared an adorable video of her mom's life-changing accomplishment in which Luna placed her hand over her heart and proudly waved (OK, chewed on) a small American flag. 

More: Chrissy Teigen on Her Permanent Houseguest & Missing Toilet

"YES MOM!! Congrats @pepperthai2," Chrissy tweeted. 

Legend also celebrated the news, bragging that his mother-in-law scored a perfect "100% on her test."

Chrissy Teigen and her family have every reason to feel proud. According to Insider, test-takers have to answer 10 questions randomly selected from a pool of 100 and get at least six answers correct to pass. The questions are focused on civics and U.S. government and can range from "Who is the current president?" to "Name one war fought by the United States in the 1800s." 

This week has also been huge for Teigen, model and author of the cookbook Cravings: Hungry for More, as she launched a clothing collaboration with Revolve and a cozy, food-themed makeup collaboration with cosmetics company Becca. She also recently nabbed a Vogue spread with her kids, Miles and Luna, and she and her EGOT-winning hubby still made time to vote early in the midterm elections. 

More: These Baby Pics of Chrissy Teigen & John Legend & Their Kids Are Identical

As if this couple couldn't get any busier, Teigen revealed to People in September that she'd like to fill her home with even more kids in the future. "John wants however many kids I want. That's the good thing with John — he is down for it," she told the magazine. "Are we ready right now? No! I really love having two, but I think when I'm 70, I'll look back and say, 'Oh, I wish I had more.' I can't see myself regretting having a ton of kids."

If they're all as sweet and supportive as Luna proved to be during her grandma's big day, the world would be lucky to have more little Teigens running around! 

Is that a glimmer of hope on the horizon, Grey’s fans? Could Dr. April Kepner one day roam the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital again? Sarah Drew, who played April for nine years, isn’t ruling anything out.

“I’ll never say never because they are my family,” the actress, who played Kepner for nine seasons, told ET in an exclusive interview published this week. “I still love everyone over there. I love that community and I still have such an incredible space in my heart for everyone over there.”

It certainly sounds promising, especially when you consider the fact that Drew’s character has a young daughter with Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), who remains on the show. All things considered, future cameos from Dr. Kepner don’t seem that far-fetched.

But — and it’s a big "but" — Drew is also quick to note that leaving the character behind in the first place required a lot of her, mentally and emotionally.

Drew explained that “because of how it went down,” she felt it was necessary to make a more finite break from the character she’d inhabited for nearly a decade. “There was no way for me to live in a space of possibility of her returning and also be healthy in my letting go of it all, so I really have said goodbye to her,” Drew shared, adding, “I’ve loved her and I’ve said thank you to her and I’ve enjoyed my journey being with her.”

That doesn’t take away from the love she has for the character, of course. Drew admits Kepner is never far, saying, “She feels like an appendage. She’s a person, she’s a real person in my life. It’s a long time to embody someone nine months out of the year and I really had to say goodbye to her.”

Still, Drew reiterated that she isn’t necessarily closing that door forever. “I think saying hello again would be hard,” she said. “But again, I’ll never say never.”

Drew, along with fellow fan favorite Jessica Capshaw, left the super-popular ABC medical drama at the close of the 14th season in what has widely been reported as a sort of unceremonious culling. Drew had previously been with Grey’s since season six.

Everyone knows Pink has a killer set of pipes, and it turns out her daughter does too! The pop star and her oldest child, 7-year-old Willow Sage, recently recorded a rendition of "A Million Dreams" for the upcoming album, The Greatest Showman Reimagined. 

Though the album — which will also feature performances by Kelly Clarkson, Panic! at the Disco, Kesha and Sara Bareilles — doesn't come out until November, Atlantic Records released a behind-the-scenes look at its making with an adorable video of Pink and Willow. 

More: Pink & Her Kids on the Cover of People Just Made Our Week

The video begins with Willow singing a reprise of "A Million Dreams" as her mom mouths the words and smiles. Before taking the mic, Pink explained to the original songwriters how much the 2017 film meant to her family. "I grew up listening to Annie, and no one has done this for me, for my heart, since I was a little girl," she said. "And to have her finally have something like this... You made our favorite movie ever." 

This isn't the first time Pink and her camera-loving daughter have collaborated. Earlier this year, Willow starred in the official music video for "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken," which benefitted UNICEF's efforts to support women and girls around the globe. In the video, Willow holds onto her mom's shoulders and gives her a sweet kiss on the cheek.

Willow has also appeared in many of Pink's Instagram posts practicing her acrobatics and her makeup skills. One recent post even showed the young star wishing The Greatest Showman star, Zendaya, a happy birthday. With so many talents and such a big personality, we have no doubts Willow will follow in her mama's footsteps and make a huge name for herself one day. 

Halloween is right around the corner, and while some kids are old enough to love having the pants scared off them, for some kids, watching Halloween movies that put an emphasis on silly jokes and lighter plots are the way to go. But just because they’re younger doesn't mean they can't join in the holiday festivities with you, and even better, that you can't all watch something you'll enjoy together. 

Not sure which movies are the appropriate amount of scary? Never fear, we’ve rounded up the best Halloween movies for kids of all ages so you can add a family movie night to your October bucket list right between pumpkin picking and trying to coerce your family to do a group costume. (And who knows? One of these films might inspire said costumes.) These movies make for the perfect post-trick-or-treating end to your Halloween night; no nightmares, no tears — just candy comas and smeared face paint, just the way it should be.

Jamie Lee Curtis may be best known for her acting — the Golden Globe winner has starred in several blockbusters, including Halloween, Freaky Friday and True Lies — but today, Curtis is making headlines for another reason.

She is opening up about her decadelong battle with opioid addiction, which began in the late 1980s.

More: How to Talk to a Loved One Struggling With Opioid Addiction

This isn't the first time Curtis has spoken about her addiction to alcohol and Vicodin. In 2001, Curtis told CNN, "I don't know if any of us can really explain what addiction is exactly, because I think it changes with each individual. I think what we can talk about, is really that there's hope to recover from it." 

However, in a recent interview with People, Curtis revealed she became addicted to opiates after undergoing plastic surgery to fix her “hereditary puffy eyes.” And while the pills were initially prescribed, she spent the next decade getting painkillers any way she could.

“I had a 10-year run, stealing, conniving," Curtis told People. "No one knew. No one... I was ahead of the curve of the opiate epidemic."

Curtis wasn't the first or only member of her family to battle addiction. Her father, Tony Curtis, abused alcohol, cocaine and heroin for numerous years, and her half-brother, Nicholas Curtis, died of an overdose in 1994. However, Jamie Lee Curtis was (and is) determined to break the cycle.

“I’m breaking the cycle that has basically destroyed the lives of generations in my family,” Curtis said. “Getting sober remains my single greatest accomplishment. Bigger than my husband, bigger than both of my children and bigger than any work, success, failure. Anything.”

And it is a great accomplishment. Curtis has been clean and sober for nearly 20 years. And while we know nothing is guaranteed — the road to recovery is traveled one day at a time — we sincerely hope Curtis remains sober and continues to speak out about it, as silence breeds shame (and shame breeds stigma).

Prepare to feel old, because Tuesday marked a milestone anniversary for Britney Spears’ iconic hit "…Baby One More Time." The wildly successful song turned 20 on Tuesday (can you even believe?) and Spears, clearly feeling sentimental and not wanting to let the anniversary go by, took to Twitter to commemorate the occasion.

“It’s hard to put into words what today means to me…” the pop star wrote. “20 years ago, the world heard my music for the first time! So much has happened since then… but what I really want to say is thank you to my amazing fans who have been there for me since day 1….”

Spears followed that tweet up with a second, reiterating her appreciation to her fans. “Your support over the years has meant the absolute world to me!! Love you all!!” she gushed, including the link to a YouTube video celebrating the song’s 20th anniversary.

In nostalgia-filled archival clips included in the video, a young Spears is seen marveling over the possibility she could one day hear “… Baby One More Time” on the airwaves, saying, “If I hear my song on the radio, I’ll just be like, crazy. I’d be like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ I think that’d be so cool. I would love that… that’d be a great experience.”

Of course, as we all now know, the song didn’t just get radio play — it was a wildly successful single that ended up catapulting Spears into super-stardom. Per Billboard's report on her album sales to date, the ...Baby One More Time record has sold over 10 million copies to date.

Feeling your age yet? Us too. But, hey, take heart in the fact that — two decades and two kids later — Spears is still doing her thing and doing it well. Nine months after the final show of her four-year Britney: Piece of Me residency, the pop star announced her return to Las Vegas with a brand-new residency.

Spears made the announcement Oct. 18 via live stream broadcast on the Ellen DeGeneres YouTube channel, revealing that the residency, titled Domination, will launch at Park Theater at Park MGM in February 2019.

Even though “… Baby, One More Time” isn’t the only song turning 20 this year (other hits include “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica, “You’re Still the One” by Shania Twain, “Truly Madly Deeply” by Savage Garden and “How Do I Live” by LeAnn Rimes), it's certainly one that is a prime candidate for celebration and commemoration. 

I’ve talked to my teenage daughter about anal sex but never about masturbation. I talked to her about the mechanics of sex when she was 11 as she held her hands over her ears and protested that I “Stop talking about that stuff.” I talked to her about losing her virginity and then about when she actually lost her virginity when she called me giggling just minutes after. I’ve talked to my daughter about sex. So how did I not talk to her about masturbation?

I mean we’ve talked around it. She told me about her friend who masturbated under the blanket while she and the girl’s siblings were watching a movie when they were all kids. But even that story she didn’t tell me until she was in college. To make matters worse, I write about sex a lot, including books on orgasm and, yes, masturbation. And I hate to even admit this: I am constantly going on and on all the time in my lectures and my writing about how important it is that we talk to our girls about the power or masturbation. 

All of this leads me to one conclusion: I’m the worst. *Sigh* I feel like I’ve kept a secret from her. There must be something about how the harder a talk is to have, the more important it is. Masturbation — and talking about it — is super-important, especially for women, especially for young women, especially now. Masturbation can literally change the course of a young person’s — not to mention any woman’s — life by keeping her from chasing partners strictly for orgasm now and teaching her how to instruct her partner about her body and her orgasm later. 

I waited too long to broach the subject, honestly. It doesn’t take long — particularly these days — for a kid to find out enough about sex and masturbation to decide it’s not something they want to talk to their parents about. But if you catch them early enough, you have yourself a little sponge ready to absorb all the facts and all the positive attitudes toward masturbation so she’s too saturated to absorb any of the BS that’s thrown at her later by media, friends, religion and the like. 

More: Masturbation Comes With Some Serious Health Benefits

I don’t have any fancy explanation for why I never talked to her. I was simply too scared and too embarrassed. I was scared I would screw it up, and I was embarrassed because, well, I have no idea why. I just was. Somehow, talking to a thousand strangers about it in a giant theater aboard a massive ship feels like a breeze. But talking to her seemed impossible. I blame the world for that. I should be better than that, bigger than that. But I wasn’t.

It may not be too late for you, though, if you have a daughter. The sooner the better, I say. Masturbation is a powerful thing. It teaches a girl domain over her body. It teaches a girl to be responsible for her own pleasure. It teaches her that she can want a sexual partner but she never, ever needs one. It teaches her how best to operate the equipment she has every right to operate in whatever consensual way she sees fit.

I would keep it age-appropriate, and I would be smart about my timing. If I were to see her touching herself as a toddler, I would reinforce the behavior and remind her that’s something to be done in private. As she got older, I would tell her that masturbating is something everyone does — or should do, anyway — and that as long as she is not hurting herself, there is no wrong way to do it. 

I would tell her not to insert objects into her vagina, not because there’s anything wrong with penetration but because the wrong objects can damage the vagina and/or get stuck inside. Once she were 14 (that age is arbitrary, really — maturity should be your guide), I would purchase a small vibrator for her, like the Lelo Nea 2 or the Womanizer Deluxe. I would explain to her that there’s nothing wrong with using sex toys alone or with a partner.

The conversation would be about masturbation on the surface. But it would really be about bodily autonomy and pleasure and never letting a partner make her think sex should center on penetration and their orgasm. That’s some old-school, patriarchal crap that's time is up. I would want masturbation to help her wait to have sex until she felt truly ready, both emotionally and physically, instead of wanting to have it to release some sort of sexual tension. That’s the easy part. A girl can take care of that itch on her own and wait to partner with someone who makes her feel happy and safe and desirable and cared for and all that good stuff.

Thinking about this makes me wonder if it’s too late for me with my daughter. Probably. But even without the masturbation talk, I am confident that I got my other points across. So I guess I’m not actually the absolute worst. Still, I regret that miss. I hope other moms won’t end up having the same regret. Don’t wait. Buy her a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves. Open the conversation early. Tell her the truth. It’s the least we can do.

If you loved The Office’s Michael Scott (or loved to hate him), the following news should make your day — Steve Carell, the man who brought us Dunder Mifflin’s “World’s Best Boss” is coming back to TV to star as the male lead in a still-untitled Apple TV series that will (brace yourselves because this is the best part) also star Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Here’s what we know so far about Carell's new gig. 

More: Steve Carell Thinks a Reboot of  The Office  Won't Work

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Carell has been cast as Mitch Kessler, an anchor “struggling to maintain relevance in a changing media landscape.” It feels like a more serious role than Carell's other TV gigs but similar enough to his other recent dramatic roles (including his role in the upcoming Beautiful Boy) that he'll no doubt turn in a solid performance.

As for what the Apple series is about, its IMDb summary describes it as “an inside look at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning, exploring the unique challenges faced by the men and women who carry out this daily televised ritual," while THR notes in their report on Carell's casting that the series is inspired by and will borrow background material from CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter’s Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.

Aniston and Witherspoon will both act as producers as well as star in the series, per a November 2017 report from THR confirming the series has nabbed a two-season order. Currently, the series isn’t slated for release until 2019, but it’s unclear how Apple will even release its scripted programming, as many of the projects the tech company has lined up have yet to premiere. However, production on the show begins next week in Los Angeles, so at least that much is known. 

The series will mark Carell’s first return to TV since 2013, when The Office ended, his subsequent brief arc on the Showtime comedy Web Therapy. It is Aniston’s first series regular role on TV since the series finale of Friends in 2004 and Witherspoon's third recent and major TV role following her role as a series regular on HBO's Big Little Lies and her upcoming role in the TV adaptation of the novel Little Fires Everywhere.

It's been a whirlwind year for Jennifer Garner, who is not only juggling promoting high-profile projects like her action film Peppermint or her HBO series Camping, but also navigating her life which has included finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. Now, it would seem that Garner's potentially off the market once again with new reports, including one from People, connecting her to Cali Group CEO John Miller.

More: Jennifer Garner Reveals What She Learned From Marrying (& Divorcing) Ben Affleck

“They are casually dating but it’s not serious,” a source told People. “He hasn’t met her kids.”

Alternately, Us Weekly claims that while the relationship is in fact still in its early stages, it might not be for much longer. The publication claims that multiple sources put Garner and Miller as having been together for “six months,” and that things are “getting serious.”

Garner only recently finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, to whom she was married for a decade before separating in June 2015 and filing for divorce initially in April 2017. The three-year process came to a close after Affleck’s third stint in rehab, which ended in early October.

Affleck is allegedly taking the news of Garner moving on in stride, according to Us Weekly. “Ben and Jen have immense love and respect for one another. They still co-parent together and that will always come first. He will always be supportive of any decisions she makes and ultimately just wants her to be happy,” claimed a source.

So, for those unfamiliar, who is Miller exactly?

Per Newsweek, the Cali Group CEO heads the company responsible for Miso Robotics and the restaurant chain CaliBurger — which is pioneering the use of robotics in the fast food industry. Their robotic burger-turning “Flippy” tool, along with other automated technology such as self-ordering kiosks, is a CaliBurger trademark.

More: Jennifer Garner Is Reportedly Dating Again but Keeping It Quiet

Like Garner, Miller is just finalizing a divorce. He and concert violinist Caroline Campbell separated in 2014 after almost a decade of marriage. Like Garner, Miller has children from his prior marriage — a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, according to Us. As a reminder, this is similar to the ages of Garner's children: Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6.

It's easy to get excited over any new celebrity relationship, but we should note that neither Garner nor Miller have publicly confirmed their connection, romantic or otherwise. Perhaps the ultimate takeaway from this story is that Garner is moving on in her life and finding her bliss — and we certainly can't fault her for that.

Jennifer Lopez is already a triple threat as an accomplished singer, dancer and actor, but she's got some new skills to show off thanks to her relationship with former baseball player Alex Rodriguez. On Wednesday, the power couple attended Game 2 of the championship series between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Fenway Park, and Lopez revealed she's picked up a thing or two about the sport.

More: Alex Rodriguez Revealed a Photo of Jennifer Lopez That Proves They Were Meant to Be

In a video Rodriguez posted on Instagram, he acted the part of game announcer and declared, "Here we are at Fenway after four-and-a-half [innings], 2-1 Dodgers. Jennifer, what's the sign?" He then turned the camera toward Lopez, who did her best impression of a base coach with some hand signals and a serious expression.

"There you have it. Looks like a hit and run," Rodriguez said. "Back to you, Joe!"

As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Rodriguez wasn't at Fenway just for a date night with Lopez. He was fulfilling his role as a postseason commentator for MLB on Fox, but it's sweet that he spent some time with her in the stands between his official duties. 

In another video posted on his Instagram Story, Lopez could be seen rocking out to Rihanna's "We Found Love." Fan account @arodtoday reposted the video on their feed.

Lopez also updated her Instagram Story with a selfie in Boston and a filtered video of herself and Rodriguez in the stands at the game, where the Red Sox eventually won.

We know Rodriguez is super-supportive of Lopez's career, and it's awesome she's just as supportive of his. We never thought J.Lo would make such a convincing baseball coach, but she totally pulls it off. It looks like this championship game was incredibly fun, at least in the stands, and we're here for it.
