If you’re looking for a fun city in the United States, look to the desert or just head south. 

That is according to a new study released by WalletHub that attempts to determine the best American cities for having a good time in a cost-effective way. 

Las Vegas, Nev., topped the list while the next four cities can all be found in the South. 

Bet on good times in Sin City

Vegas beat all comers thanks to ranking No. 1 in two of the three overall categories: Entertainment/recreation and nightlife/parties. 

It was also a respectable 15th in the third category: cost. 

That includes being the cheapest place for finding a nice hamburger, but the high number of music festivals, music venues, dance clubs, and comedy clubs was a bigger factor. 

Fun in the Sunshine State 

Orlando is No. 2 on the list, followed by Miami. 

Being home to Disney World obviously boosted Orlando’s ranking, but WalletHub notes the city has relatively inexpensive accommodations and outside of the Mouse’s House and a large number of sports stadiums per capita. 

Orlando also ranks as one of the top cities for spas, performing arts theaters, arcades, pool halls, and lounges. 

Miami leads the nation in fishing facilities, marinas, boat tours and water sports opportunities per capita, and 89% of its residents live within a mile of a park. 

Vegas, Miami, and Orlando tied (with San Francisco and Houston) for the most restaurants per capita. 

Here are the top 10 overall: 

1. Las Vegas, Nev. 
2. Orlando, Fla. 
3. Miami, Fla. 
4. Atlanta, Ga. 
5. New Orleans, La. 
6. Houston, Texas 
7. San Francisco, Calif. 
8. Austin, Texas
9. Portland, Ore. 
10. Cincinnati, Ohio 

Other takeaways 

Six of the top eight are found in the South or Texas, and seven of the top 30 are on the West Coast.  

Cincinnati was the only city in the Midwest to crack the top 10 and one of only three from the region to make the top 30: The Queen City is joined by No. 11 Chicago and No. 13 St. Louis. 

New York City checked in at No. 14 overall, a ranking dragged down by affordability (181st out of 182). 

“The most fun cities naturally include some of the most popular tourist destinations in the U.S., like Las Vegas, Orlando and Miami, but these cities are far more than tourist traps,” Wallethub analyst Chip Lupo said in a news release.

“They provide a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities for all types of interests, from sports to theaters to arcades, and they have plenty of diverse restaurants to try. The top cities offer affordable options for year-round fun for their residents, which is good for residents’ wallets and their mental health.”

More on the methodology 

WalletHub evaluated the top 150 most populous cities in the United States and added the top two most populous cities in each state if they were not in the top 180. 

Then they evaluated the cities using 65 metrics listed below with their corresponding weights.

Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the greatest number and variety of fun and cost-effective activities.

When you’re new to the gym, it’s normal to feel both excited and overwhelmed by all the equipment. Between fancy machines, cardio equipment, dumbbells, and more, there’s a lot to try. But if you’re thinking about jumping straight into the battle ropes, one trainer says you might want to pump the brakes. While battle ropes look fun and are a great way to combine cardio with strength and conditioning, they can quickly lead to frustration and sore shoulders if you do them too soon, says Justin Kraft, founder of Aspire 2 More Fitness.

“What most people don’t realize is that battle ropes are sneaky. They don’t just ask your arms to move up and down. They demand shoulder stability, core control, and solid posture to keep the spine supported while the arms generate force,” Kraft says. “If any of those pieces aren’t ready, the ropes start pulling the body out of position. Before long, the lower back takes over, the shoulders shrug, and the whole thing turns into a frantic flail instead of a purposeful movement.”

Should Beginners Do Battle Ropes?

Battle ropes may not be the best option for beginners, but that doesn’t mean they’re off limits forever. They just require a solid foundation to actually be effective and safe. After all, you don’t want to get an injury from an exercise that’s supposed to benefit you.

For instance, rapid arm movements can overload the shoulders if stabilizers aren’t strong, and poor form often leads to lower-back compensation. Battle ropes also spike the heart rate quickly, which can be overwhelming for someone still building their conditioning base. And because the ropes are long and heavy, they can exaggerate any postural imbalances, especially rounded shoulders or weak glutes.

How to Progress to Battle Ropes

Before jumping into battle ropes, Kraft suggests building a foundation with the following exercises.

Dumbbell Arm Waves

“These aren’t glamorous, but they are perfect for practicing rhythm, posture, and shoulder control without the added pull of heavy ropes,” Kraft says.

How to Do It

1. Hold a light dumbbell in each hand with arms at your sides.
2. Move your arms up and down quickly in small, controlled waves.
3. Keep your core engaged and shoulders relaxed throughout.

Planks

The stronger the core, the easier it is to keep the spine stable while the arms move quickly. There are tons of plank variations you can do, from basic high or low planks to side planks and plank shoulder taps.

How to Do It

1. Get into a pushup position, either on your forearms or hands.
2. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
3. Hold the position.

Farmer’s Carry

“Farmers carries teach grip strength, shoulder stability, and proper posture, which are the big three for making battle ropes feel natural,” Kraft explains.

How to Do It

1. Hold a heavy dumbbell or kettlebell in each hand at your sides.
2. Stand tall with shoulders back and core tight.
3. Walk forward for a set distance or time, maintaining proper posture.

Seated Rope Waves

Starting from the floor takes pressure off the knees and helps the person focus on technique instead of balance.

How to Do It

1. Sit on the floor or a bench with feet planted, holding a rope in each hand.
2. Move your arms up and down quickly to create waves in the ropes.

Battle Rope Intervals

Instead of jumping into 30 to 45 second bursts, beginners can start with 10 to 12 seconds of controlled effort. Focus on quality before quantity.

“Eventually the movement gets smoother, the shoulders stay down, breathing stays steady, and the waves actually look like waves instead of chaotic splashes,” Kraft says. “At that point, the ropes become a fantastic way to condition the whole body without loading the joints.”

How to Do It

1. Hold a rope in each hand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Rapidly move your arms up and down to create waves in the ropes, working for 10 to 12 seconds.
3. Rest briefly, then repeat for multiple rounds.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos appeared Monday morning on Good Morning America to share how she and her billionaire husband, Jeff Bezos, are going to spend their money.

No, this won’t be for a lavish party, an expansive mansion, or a $500 million super yacht. Sánchez Bezos announced that the money is being spent on a great cause.

The Announcement

In an exclusive appearance on ABC’s morning program, Sánchez Bezos shared that the family’s Day 1 Family Fund has committed $102.5 million in new grants this year to 32 nonprofits across the country. The foundation was founded in 2018 by the couple.

“This year, we’re able to give more than $100 million — it makes a huge impact,” she said on Good Morning America.

She added, “This is just the beginning. It’s a $2 billion commitment, so we’re gonna continue doing it. We have an incredible group of advisers on the ground — they know what communities need. We’ve been able to give to all 50 states, and they really tell us what places like the [Washington, D.C., nonprofit] Community of Hope need.”

Who Gets the Grants?

According to the foundation, the 32 recipients hail from 20 states, Washington, D.C., and Guam, each of which “will receive the immediate donations … to continue their compassionate, needle-moving work to help families move from unsheltered homelessness and shelters to permanent housing and access services to achieve stability.”

The Booker T. Washington Community Service Center in San Francisco, California; Care Resource Community Health Centers, Inc. in Miami, Florida; and Union Station Homeless Services were among the top recipients, each receiving $5 million in grants.

In 2024, the foundation awarded $110.5 million to 40 nonprofits across 23 states.

Jeff Bezos’ Net Worth

According to Forbes, the Amazon chairman and co-founder is worth $245.3 billion.

He is the fourth-richest person in the world, behind Larry Ellison ($252 billion), Larry Page ($259 billion), and Elon Musk ($480.8 billion), per Forbes.

Two iconic basketball broadcasters are going to be working together twice this season. 

ESPN announced Monday it will have a college basketball broadcast featuring both Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley later this month on its network. 

Then the two will work together again in March when the NCAA Tournament rolls around. 

A historic pairing 

Vitale and Barkley will join play-by-play man Dave O’Brien on Dec. 13 when the University of Kentucky plays host to Indiana in a regular season matchup of historic state neighbors and rivals. 

Then they will be part of TNT Sports’ production of the First Four when the NCAA Tournament begins in Dayton, Ohio, in March. 

“This is a unique opportunity for Dick and Charles, two of the biggest personalities in the game to be side-by-side calling games for the first time,” TNT Sports vice president Craig Barry said in a release. “This is great for the game and the fans, we can’t wait to see what unfolds.”

An odd couple? 

While Vitale and Barkley might be the two most recognizable basketball analysts on the air today, they approach their craft in much different ways. 

Vitale typically works games and does so with gusto, bringing incredible positivity to most of his messages. 

Barkley, on the other hand, works almost exclusively in the studio for TNT and is known for his sometimes harsh takes on the state of basketball in general, especially the NBA. 

Vitale first made his name as a coach for Detroit Mercy and then the Detroit Pistons. 

He joined ESPN in 1979 when the network was first getting off the ground and became one of the faces of college basketball over the years.

However, he has not worked a regular TV broadcast in the NCAA Tournament since the network lost the rights to March Madness to CBS in 1991. 

“Dick has meant so much to the game of basketball, and we have long felt he deserved an opportunity to call an NCAA Men’s Tournament game, and we are delighted he has finally agreed following several offers,” CBS Sports executive producer and VP of content Harold Bryant said in a release. “Having him call the game with Charles will be must-see TV and a great way to tip off the First Four.”

Barkley was a hall of fame player for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, and Houston Rockets after starring in college at Auburn. 

He’s been a fixture on TNT Sports’ Inside the NBA for 25 seasons, but that program is now licensed to ESPN after TNT lost the rights to broadcast NBA games earlier this year. 

That relationship paved the way for the upcoming Vitale-Barkley mashup.

Whether the pairing fits one of Vitale’s catchphrases — “Awesome, baby!” or one from Barkley — “That’s terrible” — remains to be seen, but it’s a cool idea nonetheless. 

Barkley last worked as a game analyst on Christmas Day 2017, according to SportsMediaWatch.com.

Cyber Monday is here, and Nordstrom’s big holiday sale is where to look for awesome deals on all kinds of gift-worthy gear, including cozy Ugg slippers and men’s grooming essentials from Kiehl’s. Make sure to browse the outerwear section, too: There are some excellent late-season deals on jackets, including this snazzy waterproof layer from Barbour.

Barbour’s Domus Water-Resistant Jacket is on sale for $215, a 33% discount from its normal price of $325. This handsome weatherproof jacket is on sale at that price across two colorways with a wide spread of sizes in stock.

Barbour Domus Water-Resistant Jacket, $215 (was $325) at Nordstrom

What Shoppers Should Know

• Colorways Available: 2, both on sale
• Sizes Available: S-2XL
• Shell: 100% polyester
• Insulation: 100% polyester
• Best For: Cool days, cold days with an additional layer underneath

The Domus is a hoodless barn jacket crafted from 100% polyester, and it’s designed to keep you dry in wet weather. The shell fabric repels moisture, so splashes and drizzle won’t soak you, but the Domus lacks a true waterproof membrane, so you’ll need something more robust for heavier precipitation or long exposure to wet conditions. On the plus side, it’s stuffed with lightweight polyester insulation for added warmth on chilly days, and like any piece of Barbour outerwear, it’s damn handsome. The corduroy spread collar gives it a classic look, and the large snap-button patch pockets provide helpful storage for daily wear. 

Want something a little more protective? Consider Barbour’s Hereford Waxed Cotton Jacket. Its waxed canvas fabric (a Barbour hallmark) will keep you dry in steady rain, and it looks amazing, even after years of wear. It also has polyester insulation for warmth.

Nabbing this protective and stylish Barbour jacket for over $100 off is a major score, so don’t miss out: Lay claim to your jacket before this deal expires on Dec. 2.

In 2025, there have been very few news stories involving celebrities that have garnered the amount of attention that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal struggles have. Since it has often felt like the world has paid close attention to every revelation about the massive scandal, it may have seemed like there isn’t much more to learn about the controversy.

Despite that, observers will have the opportunity to look at the scandal through a new light as a major docuseries on the subject that is produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is set to be released on Netflix. On top of there being a lot of interest in what the docuseries will reveal, there has been even more discussion about why 50 Cent got involved in the project. After all of the rumors and conjecture, 50 Cent has finally spoken out about why he produced the Diddy docuseries.

50 Cent Clarifies That His Netflix Diddy Docuseries Is ‘Not Personal’

On December 2, 2025, Netflix will release a four-part docuseries titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The series is set to chronicle the rise of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ career and his fall from grace, which culminated in the rapper serving time in prison. While promotional material for the project has been released, most people know it as one thing, 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary.

In reality, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson didn’t direct Sean Combs: The Reckoning. However, he did play a pivotal role in the docuseries coming to fruition since he worked on it as an executive producer. Despite many observers making assumptions about why 50 Cent worked on the project, he recently clarified his motivations during a video uploaded to Good Morning America’s YouTube channel on December 1, 2025. In the video, 50 Cent addressed why he has feuded with Diddy for years before stating that their beef isn’t why he worked on the docuseries.

“What they consider pre-existing beef, right, for 20 years, right, is me being uncomfortable with him suggesting that he takes me shopping. I looked at it like it was like a tester. Like, maybe you’ll come play with me type of thing, right? And it’s not personal.”

Later during the video, Robin Roberts could be seen asking 50 Cent if he believed that all of hip hop culture was implicated by Diddy’s trial and the allegations the former Bad Boy Records boss faced. In response, 50 Cent further explained why he chose to work on the docuseries. As he explained during the Good Morning America interview, 50 Cent felt that if he didn’t speak up by doing something like producing the docuseries, that would send a message.

“Not ultimately. If I didn’t say anything, you would interpret it as that hip hop is fine with his behaviors. There’s no one else being vocal. So you would look at it and just say, because that mind your business, or let me not say nothing about nothing, or those things, it would allow the entire culture to register as if they’re for that behavior.”

After explaining why he chose to be involved in the Diddy docuseries, 50 Cent ended his remarks by stating his belief that the Netflix show is fair. While discussing Sean Combs: The Reckoning, 50 Cent described how he thinks Diddy will react if he ever watches the docuseries.

“’Wow, this is amazing.’ I think he’s going to say, ‘This is the best documentary I’ve seen in a long time.’ Because you’ll see people saying that. I mean, he might feel a different way about pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth. I think he’ll see the truth in it.”

The search is ongoing for missing Virginia high school teacher and football coach Travis Turner, who was last seen on Nov. 20. Turner, 46, is a fugitive of the law after being charged with five counts of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor.

Since the Big Stone Gap, Va. resident was reported missing, an extensive search has been conducted by multiple law enforcement agencies, as well as Turner’s family and friends. Now, the U.S. Marshals have taken things up a notch, offering a reward for information that leads to Turner’s arrest.

Marshals ask for public help

On Monday morning, the U.S. Marshals began advertising on Facebook a reward for up to $5,000 for tips on Turner’s whereabouts. Anyone with information is asked to contact 911, Virginia State Police, or the US Marshals Service tips line at 1-877-WANTED2.

“Suspect is wanted by the Virginia State Police on multiple felony charges,” the announcement reads. “May be armed, use caution.”

The Virginia State Police (VSP) also confirmed Monday they are still assisting in the search efforts.

“VSP is still searching for Turner with the assistance of the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service,” VSP spokesperson Robin Lawson said, via the New York Post.

Turner was reportedly ‘armed’ when last seen

The Marshals cautioned in their reward post that Turner may be armed. According to a statement released late last week by Adrian Collins, the family’s lawyer, the father of three was last seen carrying a firearm into a heavily wooded area on Thursday, Nov. 20.

Collins added that Turner’s wife Leslie reported him as a missing person the following day. Originally, the case appeared to be a simple disappearance, until police charged Turner with 10 felony counts last Tuesday.

“It is the family’s prayer that Travis is safe and will have the opportunity to defend himself in a court of law,” Collins added in his statement.

Meanwhile, Leslie Turner has deleted her social media footprint and gone dark after denying her husband was guilty of any wrongdoing in brief public comments last week.

Additionally, Union High School, which Turner was in the middle of leading to an undefeated season when he vanished, advanced to the Class 2 state semifinals this weekend with a win last Saturday.

Nike’s massive Cyber Monday sale is live, with a ton of new deals after a successful Black Friday. While its bestselling hoodies and sweatpants may be getting all the love because they make quick and easy gifts for men, there’s a lot of fitness gear with steep markdowns that would be equally as smart gifts for fitness lovers. Even if it’s you who’s on the hunt for some affordable workout shoes, you don’t want to miss the Legend Essential 3 Next Nature while it’s priced under $40. 

The Nike Legend Essential 3 Next Anture Workout Shoes are on sale for just $37 on the brand’s website, a 47% discount off their normal price of $70 when you use code CYBER at checkout. Now more affordable than ever, these sneakers perform well above their price, and have ample customer feedback to back it up, with nearly 50 five-star ratings. You’ll want to grab them soon, as this deal ends on Dec. 2.

Nike Legend Essential 3 Next Nature Workout Shoes, $37 (was $50) at Nike

What Shoppers Should Know

• Colors: Gray, black
• Sizes: 7 to 14
• Fit: Runs snug (recommended to up half a size)
• Best For: Training, HIIT, WODs, walking, easy runs, recovery, leisurewear 

One of the brand’s most accessible trainers, these shoes are made for the everyday gym-goer looking for a solid pair that can handle all types of workouts, including vigorous HIIT sessions. They use a flat, stable heel platform, which is ideal for strength training and explosive movements, with a stacked midfoot foam for support under heavy loads. The flex grooves in the forefoot help with agility, too. They also feature high-abrasion mesh and wrapped rubber sides for extra durability.

 Compared to Nike’s other legendary workout shoes, these sit below the Metcon lineup, while still offering similar design elements. These have the same stability for heavy squat sessions, but without the firmer, ultra-tech-based platform needed for competitive lifting. However, they are lighter and more flexible, and per shoppers, more comfortable for mixed-use training like cardio sessions. Compared to Nike’s TR1s, they have a simpler, softer underfoot feel that’s a better choice for affordability or new fitness enthusiasts.

While Metcons cost around $120 to $150, and the TR1s come in around $100 to $120, these Legend Essentials dropping to $37 puts them at one of the lowest prices you’ll see any Nike shoe hit.

Another echoed that they are recommended for HIIT-style workouts as well, noting they have a good fit, are “very bouncy,” and are very light, breathable, and “extremely comfy.” A third said they’re the best shoes for the money thanks to their build and “barefoot” feel.

Once you start reading food labels and measuring portion sizes, it’s easy to see how much added sugar hides in everyday products—even those that are marketed as “healthy.” Thanks to this, Americans consume far more sugar than experts recommend, averaging 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day, which is nearly double the daily limit for men and almost triple for women, according to the American Heart Association.

But not every state is equally sweet-toothed. A recent analysis of national data examined regional patterns in America’s sugar habits. The study from Escoffier combined data from the National Center for Health Statistics, beverage sales reports, and national dietary surveys to capture overall sugar intake. The 10 highest sugar-consuming states are Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.

Kentucky stands out as the country’s sugar capital. Residents consume an average of 21.2 teaspoons of added sugar per day, topping the charts for sugary drinks and snacks. This aligns with the state’s broader health struggles, including high rates of obesity and diabetes. Experts blame Kentucky’s sweet tea culture, comfort food traditions, and economic challenges.

The South and Midwest dominate the upper portion of the rankings, with six of the top 10 sugar-consuming states being in the South, including Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Alabama. Three come from the Midwest, including South Dakota, Iowa, and Indiana. These regions seem to share preferences for sweet foods along with higher poverty rates and widespread chain restaurant access, which often leads to higher sugar intake.

On the other hand, Western and Northeastern states tend to consume less sugar. Seven of the bottom 10 states are in the West, including California, Oregon, and Idaho, with Vermont and Massachusetts rounding out the list. Researchers attribute the lower consumption to better access to fresh and local produce, health-conscious cultural norms, and policy interventions like soda taxes in select cities, which have reduced sugar-sweetened beverage intake.
