Dolly Parton single-handedly taught the world that “a cup of ambition” is code for coffee. 

Now, the phrase from her 1980 crossover hit, “9 to 5,” is officially becoming java as Dolly launches her own brand with Baton Rogue’s Community Coffee. 

“I’ve spent a lifetime workin’ 9 to 5, 5 to 9, and every hour in between!” she says in a news release. “It takes a lot of energy to pursue your passion and navigate each day. That’s why I wanted to make a coffee that works just as hard.”

“You know, I begin each morning with a head full of dreams, a notepad full of ideas, and a cup or two of coffee,” Dolly continues. “Whether you’re chasing dreams, tackling that to-do list, or just enjoying a quiet morning at home, I hope it brings a smile with every sip.”

The superstar worked with the Saurage family, Community Coffee’s founders, to develop light, medium and dark roasts. 

You’ll be able to get your first taste of Cup of Ambition June 24 at the opening of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, at Exit 22 off I-65 south of Nashville. 

It’ll be available as ground coffee and K-Cups later this year. You can sign up to be among the first to know at CupOfAmbition.com.

WHO says risk of Ebola in World Cup host countries is low

(GENEVA) — The World Health Organization said on Thursday that the risk of Ebola transmission in Europe and World Cup host countries is low as the tournament gets ready to kick off across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO’s regional director for Europe, said in a statement that there are currently no Ebola cases in North America or Europe amid an outbreak spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The DRC has recorded 676 confirmed cases as of Thursday morning, according to DRC’s minister of health. In Uganda, there are 19 confirmed cases — many of them travel-related — and two deaths, the country’s health officials said.

Kluge made reference to an Ebola patient who was treated in the European Region after being evacuated from the outbreak region.

An American physician, Dr. Peter Stafford, tested positive for Ebola after being exposed while treating patients at Nyankunde Hospital. Stafford, a medical missionary with the mission organization Serge, was transferred to Germany and treated at Berlin’s Charite University Hospital.

His wife, Dr. Rebekah Stafford, and their four children were also transferred to the same hospital, where they were monitored in quarantine for 21 days as high-risk contacts.

Last week, the family was released from the hospital after Dr. Peter Stafford had no symptoms for more than 72 hours and a negative result in repeated PCR tests, Serge said.

“There is no reason to change your plans. Travel as normal, stay informed and enjoy the tournament,” Kluge said.

Kluge said there are several reasons why the risk is low in other countries: most cases are in remote areas of the DRC, Ebola is not an airborne illness and it is spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of a sick person.

Additionally, screening is in place before travel is allowed from affected regions and people are only infectious once visibly ill, according to Kluge.

The CDC has temporarily restricted entry to the U.S. for certain travelers who were recently in the DRC, Uganda or South Sudan. Currently, U.S. citizens and nationals may still enter but will undergo enhanced public health screenings.

Kludge said the WHO does not recommend travel restrictions, “though if you don’t have to travel to the affected areas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Uganda, it is safer not to.”

He added that it’s important to challenge the stigma associated with Ebola patients and those from affected regions or African communities.

“The spread of Ebola is not determined by nationality or ethnicity,” he said. “Stigma discourages people from seeking care and can make outbreaks harder to control. Stay informed, rely on trusted sources and treat others with understanding. With common sense and compassion, we can keep both people and the game safe.”

Train has released a new song from their upcoming 12th album, Mad Dog in the Fog, due out Aug. 28.

The track, “Pennsylvania Turnpike,” arrives alongside a music video that finds Train frontman Pat Monahan returning to his hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania. There, he shares photos of his parents and childhood memories, and visits his former home, old school and other landmarks in town that hold special meaning to him.

A series of captions throughout the video tells the story of how he became a singer and explains what prompted him to leave Erie — via the Pennsylvania Turnpike — and move to San Francisco, where Train was formed.

“This album is an ode to San Francisco. The memories we’ve made, the venues we’ve played, and the bars where we might’ve stayed at a little too long,” reads a note in the video comments. The album itself is named after a bar in the city.

“Pennsylvania Turnpike” is the follow-up to the previously released single, “The Weekend.”

Train will debut some of their new music during their Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years in The Atmosphere Tour, which starts July 8 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Let’s hear it for women in STEM.

The Love Hypothesis, based on Ali Hazelwood’s bestselling romance novel, officially has a release date. The film comes to Prime Video on Sept. 23.

Star Lili Reinhart helped announce the news in a video posted to social media Thursday. We see a barista deliver a whipped cream-topped drink with 9.23 written on it to Reinhart’s character, Olive.

“Oh that’s me,” Reinhart says as she grabs the drink and takes a sip. “Could I actually get sprinkles on this?”

“Just a little something brewing,” Prime Video captioned the video. “The Love Hypothesis arrives September 23.”

The story follows a fake dating scheme between Olive Smith, a PhD candidate, and a surly biology professor, Adam Carlsen, played by Tom Bateman. Matters get complicated when their fake dating starts to give way to real feelings.

Cosmopolitan scored an exclusive first look at the film, including a photo of Olive and Adam’s memorable first kiss.

(MINNEAPOLIS) — Vance Boelter, the man charged in the attacks against Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, changed his plea to guilty in his federal case on Thursday, according to ABC Minneapolis affiliate KSTP.

John and Yvette Hoffman sat in the front row of the federal courtroom as Boelter admitted to firing multiple shots at them, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

When Boelter admitted that he shot Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman several times and then put a gun to her head and killed her, sobs broke out in the courtroom, KSTP reported.

Boelter initially pleaded not guilty to six federal counts, including murder, attempted murder and stalking.

This week, a Justice Department spokesperson said federal prosecutors would not seek the death penalty because a federal judge ruled earlier this year in an unrelated murder case that interstate stalking charges do not rise to the level to support a capital crime.

The crimes unfolded on June 14, 2025, when Boelter allegedly disguised himself as a police officer and fatally shot Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their home.

That same day he allegedly drove to the home of Minnesota state Sen. John Hoffman and shot the lawmaker and his wife, Yvette, and attempted to shoot their daughter, according to prosecutors.

Following the attacks, police said they found a notebook in Boelter’s abandoned, fake police car containing a list of elected officials who investigators suspect were targeted in a plot that the Minnesota U.S. attorney described at the time as the “stuff of nightmares.”

Prosecutors said Boelter traveled to the homes of two other state lawmakers only to find no one at those locations.

Boelter has also pleaded not guilty to state charges of murder and attempted murder.

(WASHINGTON) — The Pentagon went into a shelter-in-place Thursday as officials locked down multiple floors and hallways in response to a potential air hazard situation, according to three officials.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said building monitoring systems detected an air-quality issue, prompting precautionary measures while officials work to determine the source and extent of the problem.

“The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. “The Department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter-in-place order for the affected area. Response teams are in place and ready to support building occupants.”

The Arlington County Fire Department said its hazardous materials team responded to the Pentagon in support of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency’s Hazmat Team “during a hazardous materials incident.”

A third installment in the 21 Jump Street movie franchise is a go.

Producer Neal H. Moritz revealed the news in an Instagram post, with a photo of the script for 24 Jump Street. “It took so long to make we had to skip one,” the script’s cover page reads.

21 Jump Street, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, was released in 2012, followed by its sequel, 22 Jump Street, in 2014.

As the photo of the script reveals, Hill co-wrote 24 Jump Street along with Rodney Rothman and Meghan Malloy.

“A picture says a thousand words!” Moritz captioned the photo.

Variety reports Hill, Tatum and Ice Cube are in talks to return as stars of the new film.

The first Jump Street film, a reboot of the 1980s TV series starring Johnny Depp, saw Hill and Tatum playing cops who go undercover at a high school. The sequel had them graduating to an undercover mission at a college.

It’s time to get your Top 8 ready again. Or, should we say, Top 182.

Blink-182 has stepped into an internet time machine to revive the band’s Myspace page. The trio started posting again on the long-dormant site on Wednesday with throwback photos and videos from their Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era.

As previously reported, blink shared a teaser related to Take Off Your Pants and Jacket earlier in the week ahead of its upcoming 25th anniversary on Friday.

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, which was released on June 12, 2001, marked the fourth blink-182 album and was the follow-up to their massive 1999 breakout effort, Enema of the State. It spawned singles in “First Date,” “The Rock Show” and “Stay Together for the Kids,” and became the first blink album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200.
