Girl Scouts Was Founded After a Breakup + 5 More Things You Didn’t Know About GSA

Being a Girl Scout is and has always been rad. Delicious cookies aside, the GSA has always been an organization dedicated to supporting women and helping them shine (remember when they shut down transphobic bigots this year? EPIC). In the flurry of cool cookie hacks and sick accessories it’s important to take a sec to remember the woman responsible for starting this organization: Juliette Gordon Low.

1. Her nickname was Crazy Daisy: Juliette was anything but a calm and collected southern lady. Growing up she was always running around exploring the woods around her home and learning new things and being silly. In a biography written by Stacy A. Cordrery a letter from Juliette’s mother recalls that “Daisy fell on her head today…as usual.” This nickname is the reason that the youngest branch of Girl Scouts are called Daisy Scouts today.

2.She became deaf at her wedding: WARNING: this story will make you afraid of rice forever! On her wedding day (to notorious cad but also super babe Willy Low) Juliette got a piece of rice thrown by a guest lodged in her ear and went deaf on one side. So yeah, maybe consider a confetti popper for your big day. (via Biography.com)

3.She founded Girl Scouts after a breakup: JLow and her husband had a tumultuous marriage. He was a drinker and infertile and kind of stepped out on our girl a lot. They were separated at the time of his death but when he finally kicked it he left the bulk of his huge fortune to his mistress leaving Juliette high and dry. Even though she eventually won back some property and moolah in a lawsuit this event inspired JLow to teach girls to be more self sufficient. (via Porterbriggs.com)

4.Girl Scouts was controversial for not being girly enough: After the death of her husband, Juliette decided to abscond to Europe where she met Lord and Lady Baden Powell. The notorious LBP was the founder of a little group called the Boy Scouts and Juliette and his wife Lady Baden Powell were like “heck, we could do that!” After setting up Girl Guides in Scotland Juliette came back to the states to try and start up the organization here. Her biggest competition was the Campfire Girls so she asked if they’d like to merge with her group. According to a biography by Gladys Denny Shultz The founder said no because he was upset that her ideas of activities included things like playing basketball and learning wilderness survival. (via Stacy Cordery)

5. She kept her breast cancer a secret: Once she started Girl Scouts JLow worked tirelessly to foster it stateside and spread it overseas. Because of this workaholic determination she kept it a secret when she found out she had breast cancer. She had several secret surgeries and her doctors kept telling her to rest but, in true Crazy Daisy fashion, she kept sneaking away to speak at Girl Scout conferences. Even when she was given six months to live, JLow devoted her remaining time to helping scouts all over. Think about that the next time you call in sick to work because you have cramps! (via Wbur.org)

6.She represents independent scouts: Some people don’t have access to a Girl Scout troop in their community or just prefer to be lone wolves. These girls are given the official name Juliette Scouts and are allowed to earn badges, go on trips and sell cookies without being associated with a troop. We have a feeling that super independent JLow would majorly approve. (via my mom)

After only two episodes of Only Murders in the Building season 4, Hulu renewed the series for season 5! I'm so excited that the show breaks a recent pattern of cancelling shows after the third or fourth season, giving us more time with our favorite characters, and I'm not the only one.

"Here we go again… my favorite set family. I’m coming home!" Selena Gomez says in an Instagram post, while the official Only Murders account made their own post, saying, "We had our lawyers call business affairs. Turned the 4 into a 5. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding is coming back for Season 5!!"

Here's everything you need to know about Only Murders in the Building season 5, coming to Hulu soon.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Plot

We finally got our first details about Only Murders season 5 — and we're going in a direction I totally didn't expect. When Sofia visits Mabel and Charles in the season 4 ending, and asks them to find her missing husband, she's disappointed when they turn her down. And since Téa Leoni just joined the season 5 cast, it looks like she's not taking no for an answer.

“I think she’s the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward,” co-creator John Hoffman says in an interview with Deadline. “She’s an extension of the little news report in Episode 9 that Mabel makes note of at the hospital. [Sofia] is the wife of the Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn, and maybe a couple of dry cleaning outlets in Manhattan, as well, we may come to know...It’s a world opened up potentially that we haven’t talked about too much yet in New York, so she holds a lot of intrigue.”

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

New York's underground is a wild space that we haven't really seen on Only Murders yet so I know we're in for one very interesting season — because if this show is going to go there, they're going to go there.

Executive producer Dan Fogelman told The Wrapwe can look forward to “another big fun mystery the writers have been cooking up," while Hoffman has gone on the record saying the new episodes will “hit on some very current things going on within New York, specifically very relevant things that are happening in the city right now.”

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Release Date

According to The Wrap, Only Murders is looking to begin production on season 5 in March of 2025. Considering we've had a new season over the last four years (with season 1 in 2021, season 2 in 2022, season 3 in 2023, and season 4 in 2024), we're expecting to see season 5 in 2025. Stay tuned for the official Only Murders in the Building season 5 release date.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Cast

The cast of Only Murders in the Building includes Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin. Téa Leoni will also return as Sofia Caccimelio, whose husband Nicky has gone missing.

According to Dan Fogelman, “we can expect more big guest stars that’ll probably be announced sooner rather than later,” he tells The Wrap.

Season 3 featured Ashley Park, Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, and Jesse Williams, while season 4 stars Streep, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, Desmin Borges, Siena Werber, Lilian Rebelo, and Molly Shannon.

"I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift," Selena Gomez says about working with Martin and Short. "That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet."

Will there be an Only Murders in the Building season 5?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

Yes, Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season 5! On September 4, Variety confirmed the next installment will have 10 episodes, just like the seasons before it. The latest season premiered on Hulu August 27, and will last until October 29 (just in time to try out an Only Murders Halloween costume!)

Just like the season 3 ending set up season 4, we'll have to wait for the October finale to figure out what kind of mayhem Mabel, Oliver, and Charles will get into next season. "We hope you like it!" Selena Gomez says in the Only Murders in the Building account's announcement, while Martin Short adds, "How exciting is that?"

"We're so exciting to be coming back," Steve Martin says. We're excited too!!

I've been telling everyone I know that the Paradiseending will prompt two emotions: anxiety and impatience for Season 2. Knowing we won't see Agent Xavier Collins and company back in action until 2026 (via Deadline), I've been frantically searching for political thriller books to read. I shouldn't want to raise my blood pressure about such an explosive first season, but I apparently can't get enough of plots that make me clutch my invisible pearls. I have an idea though!

I'll share the best picks you should read while you set up a group chat for us to trade theories in. Ready, set, go!

Add these political thriller books to your growing March TBR pile

Amazon

The First Lady by James Patterson & Brendan Dubois

Similar to Agent Xavier Collins in Paradise, Sally Grissom leads the Presidential Protection team and is at the top of her game. It's precisely the reason she's on high alert when the head of state requests a private meeting with her. What she learns shocks her because there's not a rule book for what to do when the First Lady vanishes. Plus, she's charged with keeping things under wraps in light of misconduct that's affecting the White House.
Those who are aware of the situation aren't immediately alarmed when it looks like the First Lady needs time to heal and reset from what's taken place. But their relief is short-lived when someone demands payment with a piece of her body attached to it...

Amazon

In Sheep's Clothing by L.D. Beyer

Sometimes the head of state has to make difficult decisions that will disappoint people no matter what he chooses. It's something President Cal from Paradise was all too familiar with. However, In Sheep's Clothing reveals a terrible decision that has disastrous affects. This puts Vice President David Kendall in the president's shoes, but he's not ready for how difficult the job is.
Then there's Secret Service Agent Matthew Richter and his trauma. He still hasn't made peace with the former president's untimely death when he's plunged into the same situation again.

Amazon

Deep State by Chris Hauty

President Richard Monroe's known for his outrageous views that are contributing to the tension in Washington, DC. Matters are complicated even further when the chief of staff is discovered without a pulse and someone's unconvinced it was "his time to go." This thrusts politics under a spotlight and reveals how far some people are willing to go in order for things to go their way in the Deep State.

Amazon

Beyond Reasonable Doubtby Keera Duggan

Jenna Berstein used to be a celebrated CEO of a popular biotech company, but her image is sullied when she's accused of a terrible crime. Turning to Keera Duggan, she places her utmost trust in the attorney who has a tendency to solve even the toughest cases. But Jenna isn't just a client, she's also Keera's friend and the latter knows Jenna's not incapable of doing questionable things. Keera remembers how her father cleared Jenna's name in a murder case involving her biotech company's lead scientist so she's hesitant to help someone she knows isn't trustworthy.
However, the catch is Keera's convinced Jenna is being honest about what took place. With nothing other than a clouded intuitive hunch, Keera's about to find out what happens when you're in danger of getting things wrong.

Amazon

Wolf Trap by Connor Sullivan

Where else could CIA agents train to become flawless at their jobs other than the Special Activities Center? They know how to navigate the murkiest territories and routinely train to sharpen their ruthless skills. It's unsurprising the U.S. government pretends they don't know this unit exists. However, like Batman, agents receive orders to protect Americans. But it's former Ground Branch paramilitary officer who will face his greatest test.

Amazon

When Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams

Law clerk Avery Keene is on her way to the top as she assists Justice Howard Wynn, but is horrified when his health is put in jeopardy. Not only is she weighed down by family drama, she now has to deal with more responsibilities given to her by her supervisor. With him out the office, Avery starts discovering what he was up to prior to being rushed to the hospital. Not only was Justice Wynn looking into a biotech medical merger, he was also seeking answers related to conspiracy. Only Avery's able to finish what he started, but the truth comes with a hefty price.

Amazon

The Terminal List by Jack Carr

When Lieutenant Commander James Reese loses his team in a botched assignment, he thinks he'll still look forward to his family's presence. But forces take their lives before he has a chance to reunite with them and it sends Reece down a conspiracy hole he's unprepared for. Only his rigorous training and experience will help him seek the constant revenge he seeks.

Amazon

Code Red by Vince Flynn

Mitch Rapp is indebted to crime lord Damian Losa and has no choice but to respond when he's beckoned. According to Losa, there's fierce competition that will wipe out his illegal business and he'd rather not see that happen.
Rapp is assigned to infiltrate Syria to find out their secret, but is taken aback when he sees the hand the Russians are playing in this potential shakeup. Understanding how much this will affect more than Losa, Rapp makes the choice to stop them before they can start distributing their manufactured product. But this could start a bloody war that would devastate more than the United States with zero implications Rapp and his team will have a successful mission.

Audiences loved the way Greta Gerwig's Little Women brought all four March sisters to life, and Netflix's Anne with an E became so popular that when the show was canceled after season 3, 1.7 million fans signed a petition to revive the series. It all just proves that classic adaptations can make the original story even more powerful.

And the newest movie based on a book is going to be one we think about forever — and not just because of its cast. Emerald Fennell (who you'll recognize from The Crown and her work as writer & director on Satburn) is adapting Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are leading the cast!

The book, published in 1847, continues to grip readers, and it's become the blueprint for moody complexity — just like Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman, which won the Oscar for Best Screenplay thanks to its scathing look at sexual assault. Well, the Em's are coming together for this new adaptation.

Here's everything we know about Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights — and your first look at the movie.

Here's Your First Look At 'Wuthering Heights'

The first look at Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is getting some seriously mixed reactions. The photo features a close-up image of someone (maybe Margot Robbie's) with their fingers and a few blades of grass in their mouth.

"CAN NOT WAIT," one Instagram user said, along with a couple fire emojis. But the intimate (and somewhat shocking) image also has some users asking, "what in the saltburn?"

Is Wuthering Heights going to be in theaters?

Focus Features

It appears director Emerald Fennell and producer Margot Robbie are pushing for a theatrical release, which is why they've reportedly turned down a Netflix offer of $150 million.

Despite the fact Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said theatrical releases are "just not our business," and the company has stuck to at-home streaming instead, they did break that pattern for Knives Out: Glass Onion in 2022. The movie appeared in around 600 theaters the day before Thanksgiving, but left a week later ahead of its December 23 debut on the streamer.

Co-CEO Reed Hastings told The Hollywood Reporter that keeping the movie in theaters could have made Netflix more money, but later said they just wanted to "break through the noise" and get movie lovers excited for the film to come to Netflix.

All that to be said, Margot Robbie (whose Barbie made over $1 billion worldwide) and Emerald Fennell (whose Promising Young Woman nabbed her an Oscar win and two other nominations) know how to capture the imaginations of movie lovers everywhere. And it could definitely be in their favor to stick to a theatrical release. Stay tuned for official news on where you can watch Wuthering Heights!

Wuthering Heights Cast

The Wuthering Heights movie will be led by Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, respectively. Margot will also produce with her production company LuckyChap, which worked behind the scenes on Emerald Fennell's Saltburn and Promising Young Woman.

While some fans were initially excited about the casting, others were concerned about the fact that in the book, Heathcliff is described as "dark skinned." He also tells Nelly that, "I wish I had light hair and a fair skin, and was dressed, and behaved as well, and had a chance of being as rich as he will be!" Um, it looks like Jacob Elordi definitely has fair skin to me.

"Heathcliff is described as a dark-skinned brown man in the book and a major plot point is that he was subjected to racist abuse by his adopted family," one tweet (which has over 8 million views) says. "But yeah sure Jacob Elordi is perfect!"

Another says, "Film studios will say 'We are committed to diverse casting' and then cast Jacob Elordi to play Heathcliff, one of the more famous people of color in literature, whose race is crucial to both his character and the story."

Check back here to see who will play characters like Edgar Linton, Nelly Dean, Isabella Linton, and Lockwood.

Wuthering Heights Plot

Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights follows the Earnshaws and the Lintons, who are living in the Yorkshire Moors in the 1880s. Their lives change forever when the Earnshaws take in Heathcliff. Like any good dramatic novel, passion lies beneath proper connections, marriages, and societal expectations — and despite Catherine and Heathcliffe's feelings for each other, they have to choose between security and love.

Dunkin’ has definitely had its fair share of legendary menu items, but not all of them have stood the test of time. From fan-favorite swirl flavors to breakfast options that disappeared way too soon, these 10 discontinued Dunkin’ items still haunt loyal customers’ (and employees’) dreams. If you’ve ever found yourself reminiscing about your long-lost Dunkin’ order, you’re not alone – these are the retired menu items we’re still mourning the loss of!

Scroll on to discover 10 very-missed discontinued Dunkin’ items, from drinks to snacks.

Dunkin'

1. Coffee Coolatta

The Coffee Coolatta from Dunkin' was a fan-fave for years. It was basically a blended frozen coffee drink with a smooth, creamy texture and plenty of sweetness. It was almost like a coffee milkshake! Though Dunkin’ discontinued it in 2017 and replaced it with their Frozen Coffee, a lot of die-hard Dunkin' fans say the Coffee Coolatta was lighter, sweeter, and overall more enjoyable.

Dunkin'

2. Cookie Butter Cold Brew

“I was addicted to the cookie butter cold brew!!" one Redditor wrote in this thread. "Sooo delicious. 🤤” Well, sadly, this seasonal flavor is gone.

The Cookie Butter Cold Brew debuted in 2022, boasting brown sugar-sweetened cold brew topped with cookie butter cold foam and cookie crumbles. Yum. Unfortunately, it hasn’t returned to menus since its initial release!

Dunkin'

3. Croissant Donut

Remember the famous "cronut" trend? This discontinued item was Dunkin's tasty take and it debuted in 2014. Basically a hybrid between two beloved breakfast pastries, it had the flaky, buttery layers you'd expect from a croissant and the deep-fried, goodness of a donut. It became an instant hit upon its release, but was nixed from menus in 2017.

Dunkin'

4. Chicken Biscuit Sandwich

With the flavors of Southern comfort food, the Chicken Biscuit Sandwich was short-lived on Dunkin' menus. It boasted a crispy fried chicken filet sandwiched between a buttery, flaky biscuit. Luckily, Dunkin' still has a lot of breakfast sammies to choose from – though none of them feature chicken. 😭

Dunkin'

5. Tomato Pesto Grilled Cheese

“I could live on those," one Redditor wrote at the mention of the Tomato Pesto Grilled Cheese. It was one of Dunkin's best lunch options, highlighting a savory medley of melted white cheddar cheese, roasted tomatoes, and basil pesto on toasted sourdough. Unfortunately, it was quietly discontinued.

Dunkin'

6. Butter Pecan Iced Coffee

Dunkin's Butter Pecan flavor was all about the buttery and nutty, which go super well with coffee! Originally introduced as a seasonal customization, many Dunkin' fans still miss it.

“Butter pecan is the best flavor they’ve ever had," one Reddit user noted.

Dunkin'

7. Beyond Breakfast Sausage

Originally hitting the menu in 2020, Dunkin' sadly discontinued the Beyond Breakfast Sausage after a relatively short run. It truly stood out as a great vegetarian or vegan breakfast option for those who don't (or can't) eat meat – many plant-based fans were disappointed after learning that Dunkin’ would continue offering it.

Dunkin'

8. Pink Velvet Swirl

With the taste of red velvet cake and a smooth, pinkish hue, the Pink Velvet Swirl from Dunkin' became swiftly popular among sweet coffee fans. Dunkin’ offered it as a flavor addition in lattes, iced coffees, and other beverages in early 2021. Most notably, it was very Instagram-worthy with its vibrant color! Regrettably, the festive flavoring didn't make the permanent menu, and it has since been discontinued.

Change.org

9. Arnold Palmer Coolatta

Made with half iced tea and half lemonade and blended with ice, the Arnold Palmer Coolatta was honestly the perfect summer drink from Dunkin'. It was sweet and tart with a satisfyingly smooth and icy texture. Dunkin' did end up discontinuing many of their Coolatta bevs in 2017 to focus more on their coffee offerings.

Miss the Arnold Palmer Coolatta too much? There's even a petition to bring it back.

"Those were a staple of my childhood during the summer 😫,” one Redditor commented.

Dunkin'

10. Steak, Egg & Cheese Sandwich

Stacked up with a seasoned steak patty, scrambled eggs, and melted cheese, the Steak, Egg & Cheese Sandwich was a hearty and savory breakfast option that Dunkin' (somehow) decided to stop offering. The sandwich offered a protein-rich morning meal for those who wanted something filling and flavorful for breakfast, but was likely overshadowed by more common breakfast proteins like ham, bacon, and sausage.

"The sausage is a decent substitute, but the steak was godlike," one Redditor said.
