‘80s Hard-Rock Legend Joins the Go-Go's in Vegas
The virtual lovefest between and the Go-Go's singer continued Thursday, May 15, but this time the rest of Carlisle's band got involved.
A post on the former Van Halen frontman's Instagram account shows the veteran hard rocker surrounded by all five members of the iconic '80s all female band (bassist Kathy Valentine, Carlisle, drummer Gina Schock, and guitarists Jane Wiedlin and Charlotte Caffey) as Hagar tries to round up the gang for a photo. 'The first shot, Go-Go's only,' Hagar is heard saying in the clip.

In the next slide of the carousel, Hagar announces, 'Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the Go-Go's and guess what, we got the beat!' he said, referencing the band's signature 1981 hit.
'oh my goodness, we almost went back to the 80s before the show 😁 @officialgogos absolutely rocked tonight. So much fun. #girlsgirlsgirls they still got it!' Hagar captioned the post.Hagar was visiting the band backstage at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, where the band performed on May 15.
However, he didn't make it up to the stage to perform with the band, unlike Green Day frontman , who joined the band onstage during their set on April 11, the opening weekend at Coachella.
That followed Carlisle's visit to see Hagar at his Best of All Worlds Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM earlier in the week. He wraps up his residency with shows May 16 and 17.
The Go-Go's and Hagar have been circling in the same orbit recently. The band known for such hits as 'Our Lips Are Sealed' and 'Vacation' performed at Coachella on April 11 and 18, while Hagar played Stagecoach, the country version of Coachella, the following weekend, at the same location in Indio, Calif.

I Tried the TikTok-famous Swimsuit That Magically Snatches Your Waist—and Now I See What the Fuss Is About
Once upon a time, I shopped for swimsuits based on the desirability of the tan lines they could impart over the course of a tropical vacation. How quaint that sounds to me now, a couple of decades and a couple of babies later. As a parting gift from my full-term twin pregnancy, I received a lifelong separation of my abdominal muscles known as diastasis recti —more commonly known by the cringe-inducing moniker "mummy tummy." This rounding of my stomach means my new primary criterion for selecting a suit is that it makes me feel more confident about my midsection. Enter TA3, a swimwear line founded by WOC mom (and stone-cold fox) Leila Shams. The concept is a compression suit with a lace-up back—sort of like a corset—for a snatched look on all body types. Courtesy of TA3 It's no surprise that the brand has gone viral on TikTok and even had a turn on Shark Tank : It's practically made for a video demo. Slide into the TA3 Lacey suit and tighten the laces with a single pull—that's when the magic happens. The midsection-cinching effect really does create an hourglass look on just about every body type, upon which I've seen it demonstrated (and that's a lot of body types, because the algorithm obviously has my number). TA3 was once the little black dress of swimsuits, with only tightly curated offerings. And indeed, the brand's original Lacey one-piece in black may be the only one you need for season after season of versatile, durable water wardrobe. It also works as a bodysuit—great with jeans, shorts, or under a blazer—so it really pulls its weight in your suitcase. Now, there are several additional styles, namely: the Plungey (a deep V-neck version) and the Hi Cut Plungey (the deep V with high-cut thighs for extra va-va-voom). And, in addition to versatile black or white, the range now includes 12 total color options, including vibrant red, blue, and hot pink. Courtesy of TA3 Courtesy of TA3 Yes, I have several TA3 styles and colors in my swim wardrobe. And yes, I pack them for literally every vacation: They make me feel confident and oh-so-chic. Plus, they're somehow appropriate for just about every age, the perfect blend of sophistication and fun, with nary a soon-to-be-dated print or ruffle in sight. Suits are available in sizes 2XS to 4XL with three torso length options: extra long, regular/long, and short. And in addition to the wide size range, TA3 suits have additional customizable features for a bespoke fit: Straps are fully adjustable (as are the laces in back), and a built-in shelf bra has removable pads. These suits provide a secure hold on even big busts. While the $178 price point makes a TA3 swimsuit an investment (well, say, compared with an H&M or ASOS suit, if not compared with many other department store brands), these suits are built to last. Once you open the intoxicatingly packaged box and finger the durable, high-quality fabric, you'll see this suit did not come to play. Feeling daunted? No need. Returns are free within 30 days, so the risk is low. But I'd say the potential payoff is high: increased confidence, versatility, and durability, and a custom-like fit. If you're like me, you've just found your new favorite suit. However, if the price of my go-to suit is a dealbreaker and you're in the market for a sexy yet modest one-piece that'll make you feel confident while hitting the pool or beach during vacation, you can score a similar style for a fraction of the price thanks to the below TA3 lookalikes at Amazon. Each version features flattering ruching at the midsection, thin straps for minimal tan lines, and dozens of colors to choose from. You really can't go wrong with these under-$45 swimsuits.

What it's like to cruise Disney with your whole family: The highs and lows
'Family Travel' is a six-part series showcasing the best experiences and destinations for young families looking for an escape. If you'd like to contribute to our future reporting and share your experience as a source, you can click here to fill out this quick form. I just got back from a weeklong sailing on the Disney Treasure with a group of ten people – ranging from toddlers to septuagenarians – and I've got thoughts on the magic at sea. If you're considering a Disney Cruise Line trip for your next big family vacation, here's what to expect, what surprised me, and what I wish we knew before we booked. A floating Disney bubble: What families can expect on Disney cruises Having been on multiple cruises on the major cruise lines serving American passengers, I would say Disney's Treasure had a strong food offering. No, the dishes weren't always piping hot, and the cocktails leaned a little too sweet for my taste, but the flavors were consistently strong. Each of the ship's three main restaurants rotates menus nightly, which helps when you're assigned to each twice or thrice. Across our group of ten, there wasn't a dish we didn't finish – and that's saying something with a couple of picky eaters. From carnitas at Plaza de Coco to beef tenderloin at 1923 to the chicken schnitzel at Worlds of Marvel, most dishes earned a solid 7 out of 10 from our crew. What made it better was the exceptional service. The waitstaff remembered our preferences and handled every request with warmth and care (shoutout to Thynelly and Duwi). We also tried the Treasure's two adults-only restaurants: Enchanté and Palo. Enchanté felt special – fine-dining level, easily a 9/10 for ambiance and service – and we only docked a point because our tastebuds weren't ready for the sophistication of the French menú. Palo, on the other hand, was a home run. Every dish, from the arugula salad to the chocolate soufflé, was a 10/10. If you're looking for one splurge-worthy dinner onboard, make it Palo. There's a reason 'Disney-quality' is the gold standard when people talk about live entertainment. Both "Beauty and the Beast" and "Disney the Tale of Moana" were full-blown stage musicals with incredible production value. The set design, sound engineering and cast were all Broadway-caliber. My mom even leaned over mid-show to ask if they were lip-syncing – because the vocals were that pristine. Yes, the storytelling felt a little rushed if you know the movies by heart. But quick pacing is probably wise when your audience includes lots of5-year-olds. Our only complaint was that the shows in the Walt Disney Theatre were shown on one day of each voyage – which is their typical scheduling. However, due to an unexpected medical evacuation that delayed our stop at Castaway Cay, we had to choose between staying on the island or catching "Moana." We picked the show, but I'm still salty about missing Disney's private beach. Let's talk about what Disney Cruise Line doesn't include. For a seven-day Caribbean sailing in a stateroom with a porthole view, we paid about $5,000. That's in the range between premium and luxury pricing, but the perks didn't always match the cost. There's no drink package. Specialty coffees and alcoholic drinks are à la carte. Adult trivia? That was free, but get there early before the room fills up. Wine tasting? Extra cost. Beer tasting? Extra cost. Workout classes? Extra cost. Spa access? Extra cost. Technically, you could attend a presentation about diamonds or luxury watches, but we all know how those end. The truth is, most of the free activities were geared toward kids. Adults in our group had a harder time finding things to do besides eat, drink and hang by the crowded pools. I tried to be productive and hit the gym, but the fitness center was small and often full. Granted, every cruise line attracts a different type of gym goer. I was working out by myself in Aurora Expeditions while timing when to avoid rush hour on Virgin Voyages. DCL was surprisingly busy every day of the sailing for the size of the facilities. Typically, not a huge deal, but as mentioned above, when there's not much for adults to do other than eat and drink, it did stick out. (Grateful for those Peloton bikes, though.) Our party of 10 included six who were on their third DCL sailing and four newbies (myself included). It was great to watch the kids light up exploring the ship, attend character meet-and-greets, and retell their adventures each night at dinner. Disney does an excellent job catering to families with small children. The activities, the entertainment, the energy – it's built for young families. For adults without kids, grandparents or those hoping for more balance between grown-up fun and family time, you might find yourself wishing for more options – or at least fewer upcharges. Would I go again? Maybe with a smaller group, and with clearer expectations. Because when Disney says it's for families, they really mean families with little ones front and center.

Megan Thee Stallion takes break from touring hiatus for fiery Summerfest performance
While Megan Thee Stallion is taking a deserved break from touring, the world is being deprived of a hot girl summer at a time when we arguably need one more than ever — well, with one exception. The Grammy-winning rapper, 30, headlined Summerfest in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 28. The special one-off appearance at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater was Megan's first performance since Coachella in April and her only scheduled concert of the summer. So, she really made it count. Coming out on stage surrounded by eight backing dancers, all of them sporting black cowboy hats, boots and skimpy get-ups seemingly on loan from Beyoncé, Stallion raced right into "Ungrateful," which was followed by "Thot (expletive)," "Wanna Be" and "Freak Nasty." Megan Thee Stallion enters the villa: Rapper appears on 'Love Island USA' By the time "Savage" made the Hotties feral, 15 minutes had passed, with barely any moments for Stallion and her hard-working dancers to catch their breath. The superstar impressively stayed in lock step for much of the demanding choreography — hair flips, body squats, arm waves, hip thrusts, butt shakes — and somehow found the breath to rap on top of all of that, delivering withering one-liners and chest-puffing slogans with force and fire, rarely leaning on the prerecorded backing vocals that served as an unnecessary safety net. Then, after perhaps just 60 to 90 seconds offstage, Stallion was back at it again for the hard-rock studded "TYG," a collaboration with Spiritbox, offering up moves that were even more demanding, and impressive, than what she offered for that jaw-dropping opener — including a lightning-fast drop into the splits. One fan tossed a bra onstage in gratitude, leaving Stallion laughing so hard she struggled to get back into the bars. (At that moment, the prerecorded vocals actually did come in handy.) Megan Thee Stallion on Tory Lanez: Rapper calls singer a 'demon,' slams his fans for harassment Just a couple of songs later, Stallion showed she didn't completely need those backing dancers to put on a show. She offered up the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper (and alleged Nicki Minaj diss track) "Hiss," from her latest album "Megan," without any choreography, letting the bite from her flow steal the show. That same dynamic delivery commanded the stage a few moments later for "Plan B," with three words of advice speaking to Stallion's resonance amid all the bravado and biting put-downs: "Ladies, love yourself." Forty minutes after taking the stage, her body glistening with sweat, Stallion took a much-deserved extended break. But this also turned out to be one of the most fun moments of the show, as Stallion paced around and picked fans to join her onstage, assembling about a dozen mega-Megan fans who got down (literally, for a few of them) and twerked to "Bourbon." After that, Stallion still wasn't done. She then looked out over the pit again and invited about two dozen fans to join her onstage and dance to "Best Friend." And for all of this, Stallion gleefully accepted hugs, posed for selfies, signed autographs and even complimented one fan's cologne while wishing them a happy birthday. But there was more show to do. The set climaxed with one of Stallion's biggest smashes, "Body," her DJ doubling down on the drama by playing the inescapable earworm hook "Body, -ody, -ody, -ody, -ody, -ody, -ody" initially without the beat, ratcheting up the tension until a bass drop offered sweet relief. After a crowd-thrilling "Big Ole Freak" and one more complex choreographed routine for "Mamushi," her collab with Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba, Stallion said so long to a stage for the foreseeable future. The set clocked in at just 75 minutes. 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Megan's opening act, fellow rapper Flo Milli, canceled just a few hours before showtime due to weather-related travel issues. But thanks to Stallion's unstoppable, sweat-dripping showmanship, this will go down as one of the buzziest shows of Summerfest 2025. Hot girl summer, delivered.
