    Why is Valentine’s Day celebrated?

    Valentine’s Day has roots that stretch back to ancient Rome. What began as Lupercalia, a mid-February festival celebrating fertility and the arrival of spring, gradually evolved into something quite different. As Christianity spread, the day became linked to Saint Valentine, a martyr known for performing secret marriages when such unions were forbidden.

    By the Middle Ages, Valentine’s Day had taken on a more romantic spirit, inspired by tales of courtly love and immortalised through poetry. Over time, it grew into a global celebration of love, affection, and appreciation.

    Today, Valentine’s Day is a reminder that love, in all its forms, is worth celebrating. And whether you’re sharing it with a partner, friends, or just your favourite meme page, one thing’s for sure: the Internet’s love for Valentine’s Day humour is stronger than ever.

Complement the setting with romantic wall art in rich hues, tying the elements together for a dreamy, love-filled atmosphere. With a touch of creativity, everyday décor transforms into a heartfelt expression of love, making even a last-minute celebration feel effortlessly special.”

  • Super Bowl 2025: Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Martha Stewart steal the show in big game day ads

    Super Bowl 2025: Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Martha Stewart steal the show in big game day ads

    Super Bowl LIX is coming up and audiences are gearing up for a great game.

    In addition to the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, audiences are looking forward to seeing the commercials airing during the game, which usually star big-name celebrities.

    This year promises the return of some of last year’s most iconic commercials, as well as some unlikely duos coming together.

    Here are some of the most highly anticipated ads featuring Hollywood’s biggest stars.

    HOW TO WATCH SUPER BOWL LIX BETWEEN CHIEFS, EAGLES STREAMED ON TUBI

    Dunkin’ Donuts featuring Ben and Casey Affleck and Jeremy Strong

    The DunKings are back, for a new Super Bowl commercial.

    A teaser trailer, which aired during the Grammy Awards, showed Ben Affleck starring in yet another commercial for Dunkin’ Donuts, this time recruiting two more famous Bostonians, his brother Casey Affleck and Jeremy Strong.

    In the teaser trailer, Ben and Casey can be seen wearing bright orange sweaters with Dunkin’ Donuts patches sewn on, with Casey even sporting a bright pink hat and orange sunglasses. The ad starts with Ben pounding on Strong’s dressing room door, with Casey telling him, “Jeremy is a method actor! He will come out when he is ready!”

    Further poking fun at Strong’s reputation for having an intense preparation process, Casey explains that Strong is “doing research,” to which Ben replies, “I never did no research on nothin’! Look where I’m at!” After arguing, the two barge into the dressing room, only to find Strong soaking in a Dunkin’ branded barrel full of coffee grounds.

    “We’re doing a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial, right?” Strong replies confidently, still smothered in coffee. “I’m just trying to find the character. I think I found a way in. You’re from Boston, I’m from Boston. Dunkin’ is Boston. Boston is Paul Revere. One if by land, two if by sea. Red coats are coming.”

    After Strong shares that he would “be ready in like three hours,” Casey quietly whispers to Ben that he “should have paid for Matt,” referring to Matt Damon, who starred alongside Ben in the ad for Dunkin’ Donuts last year.

    The words “Suit up, America” and “Feb. 9, 2025” then flash on the screen.

    Uber Eats featuring Martha Stewart, Matthew McConaughey and Greta Gerwig

    Another set of Super Bowl commercials for Uber Eats have been released ahead of the big game, all starring Matthew McConaughey with different celebrities.

    In the first ad, McConaughey and Martha Stewart are in the kitchen together as she is chopping vegetables for a salad. “So, tell me about your salad, Martha,” he says in the clip, to which Stewart responds, “Well, it’s a Caesar salad.”

    MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, DENNIS QUAID, WOODY HARRELSON PUSH TO MAKE TEXAS NEW HOLLYWOOD

    McConaughey then goes on to point out she’s making the salad, “in a bowl,” eliciting a simple, “Obviously” from Stewart. He then added, “I know what you’re up to. This is a super bowl,” and was met with confusion from Stewart.

    Well, a super bowl is at Caesars to help you sell your Caesars during the Super Bowl, is it not?” McConaughey said, making references to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where the big game will be played.

    An annoyed Stewart then responds, “I just want to focus on my salad,” a nod to her iconic 2002 interview on CBS News’ “The Early Show,” where she said the same sentence when the interviewer tried to ask questions about her insider trading scandal during a cooking segment.

    McConaughey also stars in a series of other ads for Uber Eats in various forms. In one ad, he can be heard leaving multiple voicemails pitching films to director Greta Gerwig.

    In another, McConaughey details his conspiracy theory that football was invented to sell food. The ad features many big stars, including Kevin Bacon, Stewart and Charli XCX. In the end, it turns out the whole thing was him making a pitch to Gerwig.

    HexClad featuring Gordon Ramsay and Pete Davidson

    Gordon Ramsay and Pete Davidson came together to star in the Super Bowl ad for HexClad, which is the first cookware brand to air a commercial during the big game.

    In the ad, the celebrity chef is brought to Area 51, where he is tasked with preparing a meal for a newly-discovered alien species. While there, he comes into contact with a number of aliens, one of whom is attempting to make Ramsay’s signature dish, a beef wellington.

    After learning about the technologically advanced HexClad pans, which he is told were “developed using materials from an alien spacecraft” and were leaked to the public eight years ago, he finds out the alien he is cooking for is actually Davidson.

    When a shocked Ramsay asks, “You’re an alien?” Davidson replies with, “All famous people are aliens.” Still confused, Ramsay points out that he is famous and not an alien, Davidson quips, “I meant like really famous people.” A confused alien then asks Davidson, “Who is this guy?” further poking fun at Ramsay.

    “We had a small list, and Gordon was the one who was like, ‘I want Pete Davidson,’” HexClad co-founder and CEO Danny Winer told The Hollywood Reporter. “It wasn’t a hard sell … Pete was a gem, and the two of them on the set, I mean, the only time there was a second take, it was when they were cracking each other up. There was great chemistry.”

    Mountain Dew featuring Seal and Becky G

    Singers Becky G and Seal star in a new Super Bowl commercial for Mountain Dew, highlighting the Baja Blast flavor, which has hints of tropical lime flavoring.

    The ad starts with Becky G standing in her kitchen, when all of a sudden, the Mountain Dude slides across her center island with a bottle of the Mountain Dew Baja Blast. As soon as the singer takes a sip, she and the Mountain Dude are transported onto a boat in the middle of “Baja Beach.”

    After landing in the boat, Becky G and the Dude come across a rock covered in seals singing a cover of the song “Kiss from a Rose,” starting off with replacing “ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya,” with “baja, baja, baja, baja.” It is soon revealed that the lead singer is in fact, Grammy Award-winning singer, Seal, with his face superimposed on a seal’s body.

    In the rhythm of the song, he continues to sing, “Baby, I compare it to a kiss from a lime, on the bay. Ooh, the more I think of it, it’s strange I’m a seal, yeah. My flippers can’t hold Mountain Dew, what a shame,” as a bottle of Mountain Dew slips onto the rock between his flippers. “There is so much a seal can tell you, so much he can say. Dew remains, my power, my pleasure, my flame.”

    As he wrapped up his song, two Orcas jumped out of the ocean in sync on either side of him, as a volcano erupted behind him, giving his song the cinematic ending it deserved.

    Following the performance, the camera pans back to the boat and a shocked Becky G, who definitively says “this is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.” The camera then zooms out to show Seal, now in his human body, sitting with his legs crossed and drinking a bottle of Mountain Dew. “Good-looking seal,” he says.

    “I think Mountain Dew is synonymous with the Super Bowl,” he told Fox News Digital. “The history that those two guys have had together speaks for itself, and so when I got the opportunity to be a part of that, it’s obviously something I jumped at, and I’m so happy I did it, cause it’s put a smile on people’s faces and it’s made people laugh. And it’s made me cool to my kids.”

    Häagen-Dazs featuring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Ludacris

    The cast of “The Fast and the Furious” had a mini reunion when filming the Super Bowl commercial for Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

    In the commercial, Vin Diesel can be seen speeding down a canyon with views of the ocean on one side and his co-star, Michelle Rodriguez, in the passenger seat. As Diesel speeds up, Rodriguez pulls out a chocolate-covered Häagen-Dazs ice cream bar, and smiles as she bites into it.

    In the next clip, Diesel has slowed down the car as the two of them each enjoy an ice cream bar, smile at each other and take in the scenic views surrounding them.

    The two of them are soon joined by Ludacris, who pulls up beside them in a Jeep, and asks, “What happened to fast life?” Diesel just smiles and responds, with a Häagen-Dazs in his hand, “Not today.” A shocked Ludacris shouts, “What? Are y’all kidding me?” as he drives away. 

    Diesel then turns up the music as the words “NOT SO FAST, NOT SO FURIOUS,” flash on the screen.

    Squarespace featuring Barry Keoghan

    In a new Super Bowl ad for the website building company, Squarespace, Barry Keoghan returns to his home country of Ireland to tell everyone how the website can make their lives easier.

    The ad sees Keoghan riding around the countryside on a donkey, with multiple laptops in tow. Throughout the commercial, he encounters many individuals either doing chores or engaging in a hobby, including playing an instrument, shepherding sheep or making horseshoes.

    As he passes them, Keoghan throws a laptop, with the tab open on a website with more information on what they were doing, as he continues to preach about the benefits of Squarespace. 

    The commercial concludes with Keoghan riding off a cliff with his donkey as it continues to walk in thin air. The “Saltburn” actor then explained, “Making real what did be wanting to be, and now does be!” and the words, “A website makes it real” then flashed on the screen.  

    Keoghan’s appearance in the ad and his character’s dialogue was a callback to his role in the critically acclaimed film, “The Banshees of Inisherin,” which was also filmed in Ireland and also featured a donkey as his co-star.  

    NerdWallet featuring Kieran Culkin

    Academy Award-nominated actor, Kieran Culkin, is the voice behind NerdWallet’s latest mascot – the genius whale.

    In a new commercial for the personal finance company, Culkin voices a beluga whale. At the start of the commercial, viewers meet a man on a boat in what appears to be a whale-watching trip, taking pictures of the ocean, as a voice in the background announces that “the beluga whale has the IQ of a human genius.”

    Soon after, the man drops his phone into the ocean, but it’s luckily picked up by Culkin’s genius beluga. The whale then begins to tell the stunned man about the financial benefits of using NerdWallet, while also joking around with the man about being a genius.

    The whale then swims away without giving the man his phone back, as the words “Letting NerdWallet do the work for you is genius,” flash onto the screen.

    “I never expected to be a whale here, but here it is!” Culkin told People earlier this week. “I showed my wife it to see what you think, and she actually laughed really hard.”

    TurboTax featuring Issa Rae

    “Insecure” star Issa Rae can now cross starring in a Super Bowl commercial off her list.

    TurboTax released a 16-second teaser trailer of their commercial for their “done-for-you” tax prep solutions, which is scheduled to air during the big game.

    In the teaser, the actress can be seen carrying a box labeled “TAXES,” full of receipts, which were flying away in the wind. Rae then looks into the camera and says, “It’s 2025! This is taxes?” as the wind blows a piece of paper onto her face.

    The words “A better way is coming. 2.9.25” then appear on the screen.

  • Outsmart hackers who are out to steal your identity

    Outsmart hackers who are out to steal your identity

    Did you know that identity theft happens every 22 seconds? This means that, by the time you finish reading this sentence, someone has likely had their identity stolen. At best, identity theft will steal away your time and patience. But more often, identity theft leads to severe consequences, like losing control over your financial accounts, having your credit score affected or even losing lifelong savings.

    However, you don’t have to be a statistic. By understanding how identity thieves operate and implementing smart protection strategies, you can make your personal data a fortress that’s too challenging for cybercriminals to breach. Drawing from the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) latest Identity Theft Awareness Week insights, I’ll walk you through expert-backed strategies to shield your most valuable asset: your identity.

    I’M GIVING AWAY THE LATEST & GREATEST AIRPODS PRO 2

    Lesson 1: Identity theft is more common than you think

    With so much of our lives having moved online, identity thieves are having an easier time than ever. Your most important accounts – banking, credit, Social Security – are all digital. Thieves don’t need to know much about you to steal your identity, just a few pieces of personal information can be enough. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 24 million Americans reported identity theft in the past 12 months. In their lifetime, 1 in 3 Americans (more than 110 million people) have experienced identity theft. Here’s the part many people don’t realize: You might have already been a target. Maybe your identity was stolen, and the thieves failed, or maybe your good online habits saved you without you even knowing, which brings us to the next lesson: prevention.

    THINK YOU’RE SAFE? IDENTITY THEFT COULD WIPE OUT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE’S SAVINGS

    Lesson 2: You can protect yourself from identity theft

    You don’t need to spend a fortune to guard against identity theft. While professional services can be helpful, most of what you need comes down to better habits and awareness. Here are some simple steps you can take today:

    1) Check your accounts regularly: Review your bank, credit card and Social Security accounts for transactions you didn’t make, failed login attempts and password reset requests you didn’t initiate.

    2) Keep an eye on your mail: Look for letters regarding accounts you didn’t open, notices of data breaches and transaction summaries that don’t match your records.

    3) Monitor your email inbox: Be alert for password reset emails you didn’t request, confirmation of new accounts you didn’t open, receipts for purchases you didn’t make.

    4) Use two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA adds extra layers of security to your accounts. Even if a thief has your password, they won’t be able to log in without a second step, like a code sent via text message or app-based verification. While logging in might take an extra moment, it’s worth it; 2FA dramatically increases account security.

    5) Check your credit report annually: Visit AnnualCreditReport.com to get your free credit report once a year. Use it to spot suspicious activity early. If you see something unusual, take action right away.

    6) Use strong passwords: Use complex passwords and a password manager to secure your online accounts. Strong passwords are your first line of defense against cyber threats.

    7) Stop oversharing: Limit the personal information you share on social media and other platforms. It’s a treasure trove for cybercriminals who use it to craft convincing fraud campaigns targeted specifically at you.

    10 SIGNS YOUR IDENTITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED

    Lesson 3: Know what to do if identity theft happens

    Nearly half of Americans don’t know how to respond if they fall victim to identity theft. Acting quickly can make a huge difference. Here’s what to do:

    1) Contact the affected institution: Contact the company immediately if you notice something unusual, like a suspicious charge or an unfamiliar account. They’ll guide you through securing your account.

    2) Change your passwords: Update the password for the affected account and any others using the same credentials. Use strong, unique passwords for each account to avoid further risks.

    3) Report the theft to the FTC: Visit IdentityTheft.gov to report identity theft and get personalized recovery steps.

    4) Use an identity theft protection service: Identity theft companies can monitor personal information like your Social Security number, phone number and email address and alert you if it is being sold on the dark web or being used to open an account. They can also assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals.

    One of the best parts of using some services is that they might include identity theft insurance of up to $1 million to cover losses and legal fees and a white-glove fraud resolution team where a U.S.-based case manager helps you recover any losses. See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft.

    Bonus tip: Invest in personal data removal services

    Data breaches often start with personal information that’s readily available online. People search sites and data brokers collect and sell this information, including your name, address, phone number and more. Can you get your data removed? Yes, but it’s tricky. These companies don’t make it easy, and managing removal requests for hundreds of sites can be overwhelming. 

    Instead, consider using a personal data removal service. While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time. Check out my top picks for data removal services here.

    CELLPHONE NIGHTMARE LEADS TO PORTED NUMBERS, IDENTITY THEFT, FIGHT FOR RECOVERY

    Kurt’s key takeaways

    Look, identity theft is scary, but you’re not helpless. By staying smart and proactive, you can dramatically reduce your risks. Think of protecting your identity like locking your front door: It’s just good common sense in today’s digital world. At the end of the day, a little awareness goes a long way, and you’ve already taken the first step by reading this article. Now, take what you’ve learned and apply it to keep you safe from cybercriminals.

  • Crooks can’t steal this motorcycle that hides in plain sight

    Crooks can’t steal this motorcycle that hides in plain sight

    Imagine walking down a busy city street surrounded by the usual urban clutter — graffiti-covered walls, chained bicycles and various pieces of street furniture. 

    Among these familiar sights, you might pass by what appears to be a nondescript telecom signal box. 

    But with the push of a button, this unassuming object transforms into a fully functional motorcycle. Welcome to the world of the Nomoto, a revolutionary concept by designer Joey Ruiter that challenges our perception of urban transportation.

    I’M GIVING AWAY THE LATEST & GREATEST AIRPODS PRO 2

    The invisible motorcycle

    The Nomoto, short for “No moto here, buddy,” is a remarkable electric motorcycle concept that blurs the line between vehicle and urban infrastructure. When parked, it looks like nothing more than a graffiti-covered metal box, seamlessly blending into its surroundings. 

    This camouflage serves a dual purpose. It’s an artistic statement about urban design and a practical solution to bike theft.

    WHO CAME UP WITH THIS CRAZY BUT COOL ELECTRIC MONOWHEEL?

    How the Nomoto works

    The genius of the Nomoto lies in its transformation. At the touch of a button, the seemingly immobile box rises up on wheels, ready to ride. The design eliminates the need for a kickstand because the bodywork lowers itself to sit flush with the ground when parked. 

    A drop-down cover reveals the handlebars, while flip-up covers on the front and rear boxes provide small storage areas. While the Nomoto’s primary appeal is its unique aesthetic, it’s not just for show. The bike is a fully functional electric scooter, albeit a basic one. It features stealthy headlight and brake light arrangements, though it appears to lack mirrors and indicators.

    HOW TO REMOVE YOUR PRIVATE DATA FROM THE INTERNET

    The Nomoto   (J. Ruiter)

    WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

    Joey Ruiter: The mind behind the concept

    Joey Ruiter is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of design. Known for his minimalistic approach, Ruiter strips products down to their essence, reimagining ordinary objects in extraordinary ways.

    His portfolio includes a 215-horsepower watercraft and the Snoped, an upright single-track snow bike with stark, boxy bodywork. Ruiter’s work often polarizes opinion, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. 

    “I don’t mind if somebody doesn’t like my work,” he says. “I think the polarization makes it fun.” 

    The Nomoto embodies this philosophy, challenging our expectations of what a motorcycle should look like and how it should function in an urban environment.

    Kurt’s key takeaways

    The Nomoto represents a bold reimagining of urban transportation. It’s a testament to the power of creative design to solve practical problems while challenging our perceptions. While it may never see mass production, the Nomoto serves as an inspiring example of how thinking outside the box — or, in this case, inside a very unusual box — can lead to innovative solutions for city living.

  • Eli Manning says Peyton Manning trying to ‘steal’ 2025 Pro Bowl playbook

    Eli Manning says Peyton Manning trying to ‘steal’ 2025 Pro Bowl playbook

    For the third consecutive year, the Manning brothers will return as head coaches and go head-to-head in an action-packed Pro Bowl weekend, featuring star offensive and defensive players from the AFC and NFC.

    Peyton Manning, two-time Super Bowl champion and arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, will coach the AFC. Eli Manning, two-time Super Bowl champion who infamously beat Tom Brady to win both games, will coach the 2025 Pro Bowl’s NFC team.

    “Peyton kind of keeps trying to steal my strategies,” Eli told Fox News Digital. “He keeps trying to steal my playbook.”

    NFL LEGEND ELI MANNING REVEALS BOURBON PARTNERSHIP WITH KNOB CREEK AHEAD OF SUPER BOWL IN NEW ORLEANS

    Last year, Eli’s NFC squad triumphed against Peyton’s AFC roundup in a final 64-59.

    In 2023, Eli beat Peyton 35-33.

    “It’s been a lot of fun coaching the Pro Bowl these last two years,” Eli said. “Especially beating Peyton these last two years.”

    The sibling rivalry is clearly alive and well in the Manning family, as Eli pointed the finger at Peyton for lacking the necessary skills to beat him, especially with regard to the game’s skills challenges.

    “He didn’t think about, and he didn’t really worry about, the skill challenges last year,” Eli told Fox News Digital. “He was all worried about the playbook and the X’s and O’s on the field where we just dominated him in the skills.

    BILL BELICHICK BACKS ELI MANNING’S HALL OF FAME PURSUIT

    “Peyton’s not good at dodgeball. Peyton’s not good at ping pong. He’s not good at pool,” Eli said. “All he did was play football growing up, so he never learned any other skill. He didn’t know how to coach the players in some of those skills.”

    Eli touted his superior past of playing tug-of-war as one of his many advantages against his brother.

    “I almost went pro in tug-of-war years ago,” Eli said.

    The youngest Manning brother added that Peyton’s preparation includes studying and consulting with experts for the skills challenges, a relay race and dodgeball, among others.

    Above all else, Eli said he is excited to arrive in Orlando, Florida, and celebrate a season of successful football.

    “That’s what this is all about,” he said. “All of these guys had unbelievable seasons.”

    Travis Kelce, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Myles Garrett, Cameron Heyward and Joe Thuney are among the AFC team’s headliners who earned their spot on the roster.

    Jared Goff, Kyle Juszczyk, George Kittle, Lane Johnson, Nick Bosa and Justin Jefferson are among the NFC athletes set to deliver a riveting flag-football performance on Sunday, Feb. 2, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

    “I watch these guys every Sunday competing on the AFC and NFC side,” Eli said. “To get to know them a bit, to get to hang out with them and see their personalities off the field is what I look forward to the most.”

    In partnership with Knob Creek, Eli launched a single barrel bourbon, Eli Manning’s 2025 Bold Pick, just in time for the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl LIX.

    “I got to go down to Kentucky and hand pick this bourbon,” Eli told Fox News Digital.
