Subway, Oreo collaborate for return of 'iconic' footlong sandwich cookie
The Oreo footlong cookie was made available for purchase at Subway restaurants nationwide on Thursday, more than a year after the footlong-size cookie concept was first introduced.
More than 13 million footlong cookies have been sold since the December 2023 rollout, according to a Subway press release. Subway struggled to keep up with the "unprecedented demand" for its $5 dessert, and didn't allow customers to order them online as a result.
The offering, made with Subway's chocolate chip cookie dough base, Oreo pieces and topped with vanilla cream, will only be available for a limited time. Like Subway's footlong chocolate chip cookie, it is "served warm and ready to share."
'Subway worked closely with Oreo to create something that fans of both brands are going to love – the perfect blend of our popular double chocolate cookie with the delicious and delicate crunch of their signature chocolate cookie and crème filling,' Paul Fabre, Subway executive, said in a statement. "Oreo shares our passion for quality ingredients and maximum flavor, making them the ideal partner for Subway's first Footlong Cookie collaboration.'

How to get Subway's newest footlong Oreo cookie
The Oreo footlong cookie can be purchased through the Subway app, or in-store at your nearest participating Subway restaurant.
Subway cookie was first announced in December 2023
Cookie lovers got a 'limited preview' of the footlong cookie in December 2023 for National Cookie Day. Customers in Chicago, Dallas, Miami and New York City who bought a footlong sub were able to snag a free footlong cookie as part of the preview.
Then, in January 2024, the sandwich chain made the footlong cookie available nationwide. Other items, including the $2 Cinnabon footlong churro and the $3 Auntie Anne's footlong pretzel, made their debut the same month.
Nine months later, the company released holiday-flavored footlong cookie Double Chocolate Peppermint

Gary Busey pleads guilty to criminal charge for unwanted touching
Actor Gary Busey is pleading guilty in a sexual misconduct case in New Jersey. Busey, 81, made a virtual appearance in New Jersey Superior Court Thursday, July 31, and entered a guilty plea to one charge of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, Busey's attorney Blair R. Zwillman confirmed to USA TODAY on Aug. 1. With the plea, Busey has admitted to "touching the buttocks of a woman without her permission," Zwillman said. The case stems from his August 2022 appearance at the Monster-Mania Convention, where several woman accused him of inappropriately touching them. The "Buddy Holly Story" actor initially faced five criminal charges in the case and pleaded not guilty during a March arraignment, court records show. Prosecutors have since dismissed the other charges. The actor was "overcharged" by county prosecutors due to his "celebrity status," Zwillman said, adding that his client should have faced a lower-level charge such as a disorderly persons offense for harassment. USA TODAY has reached out to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office for comment. Busey was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Buddy Holly in 1978's "The Buddy Holly Story." Aside from his film credits, which include "Point Break" and "Lethal Weapon," he's also forayed into reality television. In 2014, he won Season 14 of the U.K. show "Celebrity Big Brother." Busey also competed on Season 21 of "Dancing with the Stars" and in 2011 on "The Apprentice." In 2023, Busey was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run collision in Malibu. According to Entertainment Weekly, the unidentified woman whose car he collided with did not press charges against the actor.

'Sex and the City' spinoff 'And Just Like That' to end with Season 3 just like that
"And Just Like That" is over, just like that. Michael Patrick King – an executive producer of the "Sex and the City" spinoff, which airs on HBO Max – revealed the show will abruptly end at the end of the current season, in a note posted to the show's social media pages Aug. 1. "And just like that... the ongoing storytelling of the 'Sex And The City' universe is coming to an end," King wrote. "While I was writing the last episode of 'And Just Like That...' season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop." He said that he and franchise star Sarah Jessica Parker "held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season." King said, "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." 'And Just Like That' Season 3: Date, time, how to watch new episodes The "SATC" revival premiered on HBO Max in late 2021, featuring three out of the four original stars, minus Kim Cattrall's promiscuous Samantha Jones. However, the fan favorite Manhattanite made an offscreen appearance through a text conversation with Parker's lead character, Carrie Bradshaw. In the spinoff, Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) were back on the New York City streets and fans' TV screens. 'And Just Like That' finale to end Season 3 The show is set to end with a two-part finale on Aug. 7 and Aug. 14 on HBO Max. Sarah Jessica Parker speaks out on 'AJLT' ending In an Instagram post after the news broke, Parker said a heartfelt goodbye to a character she's loved for nearly 30 years. "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her," Parker wrote. "The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all." She echoed King's earlier message, writing,"MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete." "AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us," Parker said. "I am better for every single day I spent with you." Davis added in her own Instagram post: "I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever." Despite a loyal following of "SATC" fans and new viewers, the show has drawn criticism for its confusing plotlines and character development since Season 1.

'Stranger Things' Broadway star Louis McCartney on why he reads critical Reddit comments
NEW YORK – Louis McCartney, who plays the tormented Henry Creel in "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" on Broadway, admits he sometimes lives in the comments. The actor confesses to reading "every review." Then he takes it a step further. "I also read the Reddit reviews because those (writers) are the real 'Stranger Things' fans," McCartney, 22, tells USA TODAY. "Somebody said that my epileptic fit (in the play) looked too stiff. I can sit here and say, 'No, I worked on that for months and I don't think it is stiff,' but I said, 'What if it is?' I'm always looking for better ways to do it." McCartney resigns to the fact that seeking feedback and affirmation can be a "double-edged sword" when it comes to acting. He recalls a conversation with his father, Michael, a screenwriter, after receiving a Tony Award nomination for his performance. "(My dad) was like, 'Great job. So proud of you. But don't take your foot off the pedal,'" McCartney remembers. "'Keep going.'" McCartney's dream is work with his father on a film that they both win Oscars for. His mother, Ruth, a holistic medium, also encouraged him to pursue acting. "(My mom) deals with the universe and I'm very spiritual myself," the actor says. "I attribute her to a lot of my personality and the way I approach problems and deal with stress. She's a cool mom." How the 'Stranger Things' TV cast responded to Broadway show "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" serves as a prequel to the hit Netflix series. McCartney portrays Creel, the main antagonist eventually known as Vecna. The actor praises the TV cast and crew, including Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Vecna on the show. "I literally have never had a moment where I've sat there and been like, 'Oh, you don't like us,'" says McCartney. "These guys have been going for 10 years now. We've been running for two years. It's nothing comparably. "We feel every right to be like, 'We're part of the "Stranger Things" family now.' And (the TV cast has) catapulted that. They've been really nice, especially Jamie." "First Shadow" began on London's West End before moving to Broadway. McCartney says he has yet to meet Millie Bobby Brown because she's been "busy Season 5-ing" but "pretty much everybody's came" to see the show. As for McCartney's next steps, he says he does not make an appearance in the fifth and final season of the Netflix series, which begins streaming Nov. 26. The Broadway gig marks McCartney's first time in the U.S. and he's enjoyed exploring New York City with his girlfriend. Even on show days, the actor will venture out to SoHo, Brooklyn or Ellis Island. He lives near Central Park, which has also proved a nice respite from the hectic city. "I've been doing watercolor," he adds. "I've been like just trying to wake up and have a good time and have a day before the show, not live for the show." McCartney says that eventually he makes his way to the theater and "locks in" for his show, which is probably helpful given that he'll eventually read a review or comment about it aferwards.
