11. Industrial Beauty: Modern brides should opt for a collection of white fringed rugs sprinkled down the aisle. It’s a gorg minimalist take on the trend that will look great in any space. (via Studio La Fleur / 100 Layer Cake)

Miami, FL

This may seem like your typical bachelorette party destination, but Miami is honestly always a smooth move.

Content Editor Haley Sprankle went recently, and there was a literal champagne shower in the middle of the pool...definitely good vibes for the girlies! If you're looking for some delicious dining, Miami has a ton of great food, too! Komodo is a sceney restaurant for all your Hot Girl pics (and the most delicious lobster lo mein), C.Viche 105 has amazing Peruvian fair like ceviche and lomo saltado, and Bachour is perfect for brunch!

Take a trip to Paris for an international and culturally-enriching experience suitable for any bachelorette party.

New year, new relationship status. The shift from 2024 into 2025 has already seen its fair share of heartfelt proposals — and its fair share of heartbreak. Believe it or not, we're only a couple of weeks into the new year and there are quite a few splits among our favorite celebrity couples. And some of them I simply cannot believe.

Here are 2025's biggest & craziest celebrity breakups...at least, so far.

Austin Butler & Kaia Gerber Break Up

Presley Ann/Getty Images for W Magazine

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler might have called it quits (reportedly at the end of 2024), but thanks to a TMZ source, we know they're still on good terms. And that the relationship "simply ran its course."

Jessica Alba And Husband Cash Warren Split

It appears that Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are "moving forward" with a divorce following their 16-year marriage (and after showing up to events without their wedding rings), according to a TMZ source.

Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Settle Their Divorce

This breakup isn't technically new information, but the fact Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck settled their divorce is. They'll both reportedly take what they earned during their marriage (and won't pay spousal support). Ben will also keep his stake in his production company with BFF Matt Damon, Artists Equity.

Naomi Osaka And Cordae Call It Quits

Naomi Osaka confirmed her split from Cordae in a recent Instagram story. “Hi everyone, just wanted to say that Cordae and I are no longer in a relationship,” she said (via E! News). “No bad blood at all, he's a great person and an awesome dad.”

Brandon Routh And Courtney Ford Announce Their Divorce

Amy Sussman/Getty Images for Entertainment Weekly

These DC Legends of Tomorrow stars announced their split with a joint Instagram post on January 10. "To everyone who has loved and supported us, we have some personal news to share," the post reads. "After 21 years together, and 17 years of marriage, we have decided to begin a new journey and enter this next chapter of life as friends and co-parents. We are now and forever rooting for each other as we move through this wild adventure called life. Our son is, and will always be, our highest priority."

Pinterest Predicts just came out for 2024, and one of the coolest trends hitting the home next year is what they’re callin’ “Kitschens.” Kitschens bring the quirk, the eccentric, and of course, the colorful to kitchen spaces. In Pinterest’s words:

“They say the party always moves to the kitchen. But sometimes, the party is the kitchen. This year, Gen X and Boomers will quirk up their cooking areas with thrifted finds, vintage appliances and eye-jarring pops of paint. No minimalist aesthetic is safe.”

And I am all for it. Those eerily clean, devastatingly gray boxes they’re calling houses now should be eliminated. What happened to the joyous explosions of color around the house? The never-before-seen vintage pieces that stand out from the crowd? I take these things as clear signs of life – and you should be able to tell that people live freely in their homes.

So, in 2024, it’s only right to embrace a dose of color in a world of drab. (I imagine cool decor makes your meals taste better, too.) Kitschens should be filled with polka-dotty, zig-zaggy weirdness: bright appliances, mismatched utensils, borderline bizarre figurines and storage solutions. Here’s what to shop if you’re diggin’ the Kitschen.

Shop The Kitschens Trend

Keidason Silicone Kitchen Utensils Set

Mismatched anything goes along with the Kitschen aesthetic, and these utensils are sure to bring some joy into your cooking.

Citizens of the Beach Gummo Rainbow Double Sided Turkish Cotton Pom Pom Kitchen Towel

Make your kitchen linens *pop* with the help of these multicolored towels. The pattern reminds me of a chunky knit, which only ups the kitschiness.

Susan Alexandra Beaded Planter

Decorating with alternative materials will also amp up the quirkiness in your kitchen, so this beaded container is just perf.

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Figural Heart Cocotte

Kitschens are all about embracing uniqueness and downright fun! Think about the stuff that'd make your inner child happy – for me, it's this darling heart pot.

Smo Ceramics Banana Dish

Same goes for this banana dish – it surely isn't your regular plate, and that's exactly what the Kitschen craves.

Sponge.NYC Kitchen Sponge

This sponge is handcrafted from sparkly yarn, adding a touch of pure whimsy. With the Kitschen trend, it's okay to be playful with even the smallest of details.

Farfalloni-Shaped Pot Holders

TIMEFOTO Drinking Glasses

Going along with the colorful and the mismatched, these adorable drinking glasses provide a special sipping experience.

BUYDEEM DT620 2-Slice Toaster

Retro appliances are also so ​in​ for this upcoming trend. Look for lighter pastels and simplified controls like the ones on this affordable toaster!

Polspotten Caps & Jars Set

I'm telling you – mismatching isn't tacky! It's fun! It's wacky! If all this crazy color isn't your exact personal style, just pick up one jar instead of three to play with the trend.

Wooden Paper Towel Holder

This paper towel holder has it all in the details – AKA a cutie little flower design!

Dusen Dusen Oven Mitt

Dusen Dusen has gained fame for their funky color combos, and it's even better that they specialize in kitchen goods. Or shall I say – Kitschen goods!

ALINK Ribbed Drinking Glass Cups with Glass Straws

You can start simple for this up-and-coming trend. Take these wonky glasses for example – they're a good step up from your regular-schmegular drinking glasses without being too out-there.

Libbey Vintage Juice Glasses

These pieces make a play on the vintage glassware of years past, but the vibrant colors really speak to the Kitschen trend.

Nostalgia Retro Compact Countertop Microwave Oven

This microwave might just be the cutest microwave I've ever seen. The cool color and sleek handle are Kitchen's perfect match.

Material The rePrep Set

Yes, wood cutting boards do an excellent job at providing a chopping platform, but these eye-catching ones are just so much more fun to look at (and just as practical)!

Streamline Flamingo Salt & Pepper Set

Like I mentioned before – just have fun with it! These flamingo shakers infuse you kitchen table with utter playfulness.

Again, these serving utensils are a little offbeat, but still get the job done in style!

Viewers who were ready to watch Meghan Markle's new Netflix showWith Love, Meghan January 15 will have to wait just a little bit longer. Meghan decided to delay the show in the midst of the L.A. wildfire crisis, focusing on being more of a good samaritan and placing her focus on the cataphoric fires that have demolished parts of L.A. Here's what to know about the delayed release of With Love, Meghan — plus, Meghan's efforts to provide L.A. wildfire relief!

Scroll to find out everything you need to know about Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan release date!

When is the new premiere date of 'With Love, Meghan?'

According to Netflix, With Love, Meghan will now premiere March 4.

What has Meghan Markle said about delaying her show?

We're sure Meghan Markle was excited to share her love for cooking and living in California, but the Duchess is more concerned about the tragedy occurring in L.A. She said, "I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California," via Netflix.

What have critics said about 'With Love, Meghan?'

Meghan's decision and comment about it come on the heels of some people expressing their dislike for the show. Just last week, Meghan McCain shared her own thoughts about With Love, Meghan.

In a rather length X post, she started by saying, "I was originally a Meghan Markle supporter, I thought she was cool, stylish and refreshing." Her tone quickly changed because she believes Markle not only "disrespected the royal family," but McCain also believes Markle "wants to be American again instead of British aristocracy."

She called the trailer for With Love, Meghan "highly curated, produced, and out of touch" because of the "2 terror attacks in 2 days, major wars raging" and the fact people are facing high grocery prices. As if that weren't enough, McCain decided to throw in, "This is why the world doesn’t like you, nothing else. Just completely and utterly tone deaf to the moment" which feels more based on an emotional opinion than fact.

While this criticism came before the terrible L.A. fires struck, it's in line with a lot of criticism Meghan's faced since. However, PEOPLEspoke with an "industry insider" about why they feel Meghan Markle truly decided to delay With Love, Meghan. "Delaying the release of With Love, Meghan was likely an easy decision for her. I don’t think she could imagine putting out a show centered on joy and hosting when so many people in her home state no longer have homes to host people in," the source said.

They also touched on the continued criticism the Duchess is once again facing for her decision not to premiere her show right now. "I think it’s sad that critics are saying she’s only doing this to avoid the fires overshadowing her show. We’re all human, and we’re dealing with a catastrophe."

How have Meghan Markle and Prince Harry been helping those affected by the L.A. fires? 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are doing their best to help those who have been displaced by the L.A. fires. They've since made their California home a safe haven for those who have been displaced and have been actively assisting in other ways.

For one, they showed up at the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, California to "help distribute food and supplies to victims of the Eaton fire" last Friday, January 10 (via PEOPLE). At the time, Mayor Victor Gordo said the couple cared about being "as helpful as they can be" and that "they took the time to meet the people that are affected."

They've also listed resources for those who are inspired to help victims as well on their official Sussex site.

We commend Meghan Markle for doing everything she can to assist with L.A. wildfire relief, and TBH we think that's what others should be focused on instead of critiquing her every move.
