Morning Buzz! Finding Dory Will Feature Disney’s First Trans Character + More

It’s Tuesday! Here’s what you need to know:

1. Jimmy Fallon’s Moving Tribute to the Orlando Nightclub Victims Is Pure Class. We’re used to seeing Jimmy Fallon crack jokes on The Tonight Show and ham it up with his guests,but last night we saw a whole new side of the funny man. In a somber speech, he implored of his audience: “We need to support each other’s differences and worry less about our own opinions.” He also wondered out loud how, as a new father, he might be able to explain this tragedy to his own kids.

2. Finding Dory Will Feature Disney’s First Trans Character. Ellen told USA Today: “Actually, I’ll tell you a little secret, there’s a stingray that’s becoming sting-Rhonda, so there’s a trans sting in the movie.” This comes shortly after rumors that the movie would feature Disney’s first lesbian couple, but DeGeneres kept mum on those deets.

3. Zayn Malik Is Going the Extra Mile for Gigi Hadid Post-Split. In case you haven’t heard yet, Zayn and Gigi are definitely back together and, according to “sources” (cough), Zayn’s been going out of his way to make up for their initial rift and to change the unspecified behavior that may have contributed to their short split. You can do it, bbs! (h/t Perez Hilton, Image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

4. The Red Hot Chili Peppers Joined James Corden on Carpool Karaoke... and everyone ended up shirtless. Natch.

5. Kanye West Just Announced the North American Dates for His Saint Pablo Tour. The tour kicks off in Indianapolis on August 25 and will wrap in Las Vegas on October 29, and it’s expected to gross like a kajillion dollars. Get excited! (h/t E!, Image via Getty.)

6. “Stop others f*cking with your future.” — Keira Knightly in a new video campaign meant to encourage UK voters to vote to stay within the EU in the current EU referendum. (h/t BuzzFeed)

Beyoncé and JAY-Z’s twins make their debut in this morning’s top news stories. Check that and more out below in the Friday Morning Buzz!

1.Early Friday morning, Beyoncé posted the very first photo of Sir and Rumi Carter, which, in true Bey fashion, was no ordinary snap. With a serene coastal backdrop and a colorful ensemble of a breathtaking blue and mauve dress and veil, the shot is reminiscent of her epic pregnancy announcement. “Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today,” the caption read, followed by a string of emojis which included the prayer hands, a heart, a man, a woman, a girl, and two babies. By our count, that would make the twins’ birthday June 14, several days before the internet got wind of the birth. Just look at those teeny little faces!

2.Spider-Man: Homecoming costars Zendaya and Tom Holland addressed dating rumors in a hilarious way. With reports (via unnamed sources) swirling that Zendaya and Holland sparked a love affair while filming for their new flick, Spider-Man: Homecoming, the duo has chimed in to offer up their two cents.While they didn’t actually confirm or deny the rumors, their reaction WAS rather amusing. “Wait wait…” Zendaya tweeted, along with a link to the rumors. “My favorite is when it says we go on vacations together. HA! I haven’t been on a vacation in years!,” she wrote, complete with crying-laughing emojis. Holland’s reply was equally perfect, with the star joking, “Does the press tour count?” (h/t Cosmo; photo via Robert Marquardt/Getty)

3. Barb from Stranger Things got an Emmy nomination and the internet has FEELINGS. Now that the 2017 Emmy nominations are out, Stranger Things‘ Barb is finally getting her vindication for (spoiler alert!) being killed off and forgotten on the show. The Netflix series was one of the most-nominated shows with 18 (!) nominations, one of which was an Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series nod for Barb, AKA Shannon Purser. While some people seemed confused that Purser was recognized when Winona Ryder was not, the cult of Barb celebrated the victory, claiming “justice.” The Emmys will take place on September 17, and Stranger Things season two drops on Netflix on October 27. (h/t Mashable)

4. Kid Rock hints that he may actually be running for US Senate. Earlier this week, musician Kid Rock launched the kidrockforsenate.com website, and people seemed confused as to whether it was a publicity stunt for upcoming music, a ploy to sell merchandise or, well, the real deal. Kid — whose real name is Robert James Ritchie — penned a blog post to say that he still had time to file paperwork with the Federal Elections Committee to make it official, and that he would be simultaneously releasing new tunes. “Like politicians write books during their campaigns, I’m planning on putting out music during mine,” he wrote (he released two new songs and announced a tour at midnight). “It’s not a hoax, it’s a strategy, and marketing 101!” With more celebrities’ names, like The Rock, being thrown in the political ring, nothing about this would surprise us. (h/t People)

5.Bridezillasis the latest TV show to get a revival and we can’t WAIT. TV reboots are all the rage — from Gilmore Girls to Fuller House and, most recently, Will and Grace, what’s old is definitely new again. It’s not often that a reality series is brought back from the dead (though we’re still holding out for a Jersey Shore reunion show), but WE tv has some seriously exciting news for fans in 2018: the return of Bridezillas! “Years after saying goodbye to our last Bridezilla, we have been asked consistently to bring this show back by viewers and fans,” We tv president Marc Juris said in a statement. E! reports that casting is currently underway for 10 new hour-long episodes of total wedding meltdown territory, and TBH, it can’t come fast enough. (h/t E!)

6. Quote of the day: “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Albert Einstein knew what he was talking about.

For as many new menu items Starbucks has launched in the past several years or so, there’s a whole slew of drinks, syrups, and food items that were sadly slashed from the menu. Starbucks was founded way back in 1971, so you can only imagine the multitude of offerings that have come and gone since!

If you’re a Starbucks fan yearning for the return of the Orange Mocha or craving their famed Bagel Bites (same here), we bet you totally forgot about the rest of these 25 amazing (but discontinued) Starbucks items.

Scroll on for 25 discontinued Starbucks items that’ll jog your memory of the coffee chain’s menu lineup and have your cravings running wild!

Discontinued Starbucks Drinks

Starbucks

1. Salted Caramel Mocha

This discontinued mocha drink featured a strong salted caramel flavor, thanks to the smoked sea salt it was crafted with. Though your Starbucks baristas could make a very similar drink using the chain's caramel syrup and some sea salt, they no longer carry the smoked sea salt.

One barista Redditor said "it’s not the same unless we have the smoked sea salt.”

Many more agreed in the thread: "The salt was the best part," another person wrote. "When I'd go order of they said they were out of the salt, I'd pick a different drink!"

“I actually am glad Starbucks doesn’t have these anymore," one more user commented. "I probably gained 20lbs alone because of this one drink. Soooo good."

Starbucks UK

2. Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher

“I’m still salty over this!” one Redditor said about the now-discontinued Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher. It's still sold in the UK, so you could hop across the pond if you're really craving it!

Tasting Table

3. Valencia Orange Refresher

R.I.P. to this orange-flavored Refresher. Gone, but not forgotten!

Starbucks UK

4. Cool Lime Refresher

Starbucks actually sold a lime-forward Refresher, too. But no longer. 😭

Starbucks

5. Dark Cherry Mocha

Oh, this sounds so good. Made with a mix of dark chocolate mocha and cherry syrup (which Starbies no longer carries... for now), this bev was also orderable iced or in Frappuccino form.

Starbucks Bahamas

6. Orange Mocha

Orange and chocolate is an immaculate flavor combo – we wish Starbucks would bring it back! But for now, it's only sold in the Bahamas.

Starbucks

7. Gingerbread Latte

The Gingerbread Latte is one of those discontinued Starbucks items that always has a big hullabaloo surrounding its disappearance. It was a seasonal drink that was so popular around the winter holidays for its warm, cozy flavors.

"I don't get why they discontinued it when it was so popular,” one Redditor complained. Same.

Starbucks New Zealand

8. S’mores Frappuccino

When it comes to very sweet Starbucks sips, the now-gone S'mores Frappuccino hit the nail on its head.

"This was my favorite thing ever," one Redditor noted. "The 'marshmallow' component was iconic."

To our surprise, it's actually available on the Starbucks New Zealand menu!

eBay

9. Oprah Chai

Per Starbucks, Oprah teamed up with Starbucks in 2014 to create the Teavana Oprah Chai Tea, which raised $21 million to support youth education organizations across the country. An iconic collab, if you ask us!

Baristas on Reddit noted the Oprah Chai “seemed a lot more cinnamon-y compared to normal chai.” It was also reportedly vegan while the regular Starbucks chai technically isn't since it's made with honey.

Reddit

10. Juniper Latte

With herby notes, the Juniper Latte likely didn't last long on Starbucks menus because of its unique (and honestly, lesser-known) flavor profile. It came around once around the holidays, and poof, it was gone just as quickly.

It was my favorite drink that I knew would only last a season," one Starbucks fan said.

Discontinued Starbucks Syrups

Amazon

1. Raspberry Syrup

Starbucks no longer sells raspberry syrup. *Cries.* It was so tasty as an addition to both regular mochas and white chocolate mochas alike!

Walmart

2. Pineapple Ginger Syrup

We had no clue Starbies ever served something like this! Pineapple and ginger sounds like such a nice, refreshing combo for a summery sip like a Refresher or iced tea – but we sadly will never know what it's like.

Walmart

3. Irish Cream Syrup

Remember Starbucks' Irish Cream Cold Brew? Us, too. We miss it! Turns out, Irish cream used to be a pretty regular flavor at the chain. Per one barista:

“When I first started in 2003, it was part of the permanent syrup lineup. When it was brought back for a few years for the Irish Cream cold brew, I was overjoyed because I could make Irish Cream lattes again. Then corporate had the audacity to not bring it back last year.”

Discontinued Starbucks Food

Reddit

1. Almond Croissant

Ooh, la la! We still yearn for this flaky pastry. Luckily, Starbucks still has the Chocolate Croissant and Ham & Swiss Croissant to fill the void from this discontinued item.

Kristen Carli / Mashed

2. Southwest Veggie Wrap

Real OG fans will remember the Southwest Veggie Wrap. Filled with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and black beans, it was a reliable vegetarian item in the Starbucks breakfast lineup.

“I talk about this at least once a week since they've discontinued it 😭,” one person said.

Damn Delicious

3. Chicken & Hummus Box

Starbucks has slowly been pulling back on their protein box selection. One long-forgotten box is the Chicken & Hummus Box, which featured a healthy medley of hummus, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, and pita bread for on the go snackin'.

“I think about this one monthly," one Redditor said. "So much protein in one lunch.”

"I lived on these for lunch," another said.

Anete Lusina / PEXELS

4. Chocolate Cream Cheese Muffins

Woah, these sound so yum. Anything with chocolate has our attention, obvi. Sadly, the Starbucks Chocolate Cream Cheese Muffins are nowhere to be found.

Aleksandar Pasaric / PEXELS

5. Bananas

Back in the good old days, Starbucks sold bananas that could be enjoyed on their own or blended into drinks like smoothies (yes, smoothies!) and Frappuccinos.

“A Java Chip Frap with a banana blended in was delightful," one Redditor wrote.

Starbucks Bahamas

6. Chicken Caprese Panini

Allegedly, Starbucks used to sell a ton of different panini flavors. In addition to the discontinued Chicken Caprese Panini, you could also find the Chicken Santa Fe Panini, Turkey Rustico Panini, Holiday Turkey Stuffing Panini, and the Chicken Artichoke Panini on menus.

Momoluv / Instructables

7. Salted Caramel Cake Pop

Oh, wow. This cake pop looks divine. Too bad you can't order it anymore!

Mobola Odukoya / PEXELS

8. Strawberry Crème Scones

Same goes for these strawberry-clad cones. We can't resist a sweet treat!

Reddit

9. Chicken Sausage Biscuit

On the more savory side, we really wish Starbucks would pop off with more chicken-based breakfast options like this now-discontinued biscuit sammie.

Starbucks Indonesia

10. Bagel Bites

Bagel bites were the bomb in Starbucks' heyday. Filled with cheese, they truly made a nice midday snack.

Starbucks

11. Cookie Dough Cake Pop

Apparently this Cookie Dough Cake Pop was so beloved, there's even a petition to bring it back.

Jen Hartnett / Pinterest

12. Honey Pistachio Croissant

This treat looks like something you'd find at a gourmet bakery – but nope, it was one of Starbucks' very own. With sweet notes of honey and nutty pistachio, we think it'd go great with their current winter menu!

Jay-Z’s new album is here and Corinne Olympios’ BIP investigation is over in this morning’s top news stories. Check those and more out in the TGIF Morning Buzz!

1. When Beyoncé released the amazing Lemonade, many presumed it to insinuate that husband, Jay-Z, was being unfaithful. The album even launched the now infamous Beckygate witch hunt, which had fans clamoring to find out the identity of his would-be extra-marital partner. The two, now parents to twin newborns, are obviously still going strong, but on Jay-Z’s new album 4:44, it sounds like he’s finally addressing everything from his suspected cheating on Bey (who also appears on the album), to that infamous fight with Solange in an elevator. The album’s title track is particularly telling, with lyrics such as, “And if my children knew, I don’t even know what I would do. If they ain’t look at me the same, I would probably die with all the shame. You did what with who? What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate? You risked that for Blue?” Jay himself was vague about song meanings in an interview with iHeartRadio, but its streaming the album for free all day today before being hidden behind a Tidal paywall, so you’ve got lots of time to dig in and listen for yourself.

2. Corinne Olympios’ Bachelor in Paradise investigation has concluded.BIP recently resumed filming after Warner Brothers closed their investigation and found no misconduct, but Corinne Olympios and her lawyer moved forward with their own investigation into the matter. Now, she has issued a statement saying the investigation has been completed to her satisfaction. She also clarified that she “never filed complaints or accusations against anyone associated with Bachelor in Paradise,” but based on the fact that she had no recollection of what transpired and that she felt “victimized by the fact that others were judging me through conflicting and unsubstantiated reports,” she wanted to see the investigation through. Olympios said that while she was invited back to BIP when production resumed, she respectfully declined. (h/t E!; photo via Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty)

3. Venus Williams was involved in a fatal car crash. Days before she is set to start in Wimbledon, it has been revealed that Venus Williams was involved in a car crash that resulted in a death earlier this month. The NYT reports that a 78-year-old man being driven by his wife was injured in the accident, and that he died two weeks later. The Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, incident is under investigation, and police said in a report on the crash that Williams was at fault. Her lawyer, Malcolm Cunningham, maintains that she has not been cited or charged. “Ms. Williams entered the intersection on a green light,” Cunningham said in a statement. “The police report estimates that Ms. Williams was traveling at 5mph when Mrs. Barson crashed into her. Authorities did not issue Ms. Williams with any citations or traffic violations. This is an unfortunate accident, and Venus expresses her deepest condolences to the family who lost a loved one.” (h/t New York Times; photo via Al Bello/Getty)

4. Jared Padalecki’s sweet letter to his kids is the feel-good read of the weekend. Supernatural and Gilmore Girls star Jared Padalecki penned a post-Father’s Day note thanking his three children for turning his world upside down — in the best way possible. In fact, his wife Genevieve Cortese was so taken with the letter, she posted it on her blog for all of us to share in. “I realize Father’s Day was supposed to be about…. well… ‘fathers,'” he wrote, “but I wanted to take this opportunity, after my FIFTH fathers day (and counting), not to say ‘you’re welcome,’ but to say ‘thank you.'” Padalecki listed things that by all means could be awful (“You’ve peed on me, pooped on me, and vomited on me”), before offering up more special, meaningful moments. “You’ve taught me more than any mentor or teacher ever could,” he says. “I have your back. Now and always.” SNIFF. Grab your tissues and dive into the whole thing right here.

5. The Jumanji remake trailer is here and Jack Black plays a teenage girl. In the first official trailer for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, we see Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan become avatars for the high school kids playing the weird old Jumanji video game. Frankly, just hearing Jack Black say “I can’t even with this place,” already has us sold. It’s not out until December 22, but check the trailer out above!

6. Quote of the day: “I too look forward to the day when the numbers are different.” Gillian Anderson calls out the fact that the X-Files writer’s room is made entirely of men, finishing with a timely #TheFutureIsFemale.
