Today marked Guthrie's first day back on air since the tragic abduction of her mother, Nancy, in February. While she usually reports the news, for the past few months Guthrie has been the news. This was illustrated as she came on air, with the chyron news ticker beneath her reporting on the "I still believe" Easter message she delivered via video to a New York church. 

Morning shows have always been a mix of hard news and heart, a delicate balance Guthrie has perfected over the years. We, the viewing public, are now privy to the tragedy she's living with behind the morning show smile. It's a real testament to what a reality many of us have to deal with during a tragedy: life goes on.

You have to work. You have to take care of the kids. You have to keep living. And sometimes you have to force a smile through the pain. We're going to see an example of that every single morning on the Today show because of Guthrie's decision to return. And you know what? Guthrie didn't have to return. It's not like she needs the money. Instead, she chose to carry on, get back to work, in other words, to live.

That's bravery. 

Juicy Love Dion came to RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 as the party princess of Miami and Mykonos, and she delivered on that promise every single time the music started.

The drag daughter of Season 16's Morphine Love Dion and drag granddaughter of fellow Season 18 competitor Athena Dion, Juicy lip synced her way through the competition with a ferocity that even RuPaul had to stop and acknowledge. But just before the Lip Sync Lalaparuza Smackdown, she was eliminated, leaving us wanting more. 

In her exit interview with Newsweek, Juicy gets refreshingly honest about her journey, describing her track record as "big peaks and big valleys," opening up about her blocked throat chakra and making a genuinely compelling case for why Hispanic queens deserve better pop culture references on this show.

The juice, as she would say, is very much still loose. 

Bryan Cranston didn't just want to bring Malcolm in the Middle back for nostalgia's sake; he had something a bit more urgent in mind.

The actor opened up to "The Guardian" about why he pushed to revive the beloved sitcom, and his reasoning goes well beyond family comedy. For Cranston, 70, humor is a necessity right now.

In this episode of The Royal Report, Newsweek’s Jack Royston is joined by Tom Sykes, Daily Beast Editor at Large and author of The Royalist newsletter, to break down Harry and Meghan’s struggle to make it in America, how they could turn things around—and what might come next.
