Kim Kardashian is diving into the beverage space!

The 45-year-old entertainer and businesswoman has hopped on board the relaunch of the caffeine free energy drink Update, and it’s coming out very soon.

Keep reading to find out more…

Update originally launched in 2022, but Kim didn’t join the brand until 2023 after she was already drinking it and started sending “unsolicited advice,” before officially joining the team.

As revealed in a video shared to her Instagram, after Kim became part of the business, she helped remarket the packaging to make it less “masculine” and more “calm.” Plus, she also helped reformulate the taste of the drink.

Since the drink doesn’t have caffeine, where does the energy come from?

According to Forbes, the beverage “uses paraxanthine, the compound the human body naturally forms from caffeine, rather than caffeine itself, an approach the company says ‘eliminates the crash, jitters, and overstimulation’ of traditional energy drinks.”

The upcoming relaunch will see Update‘s five flavors (berry, grape, peach, mandarin and pineapple) in 4,000 Walmart stores nationwide, beginning THIS Sunday (March 1). More flavors are on the way too!

You can actually order a 12-pack with four of the flavors on Walmart.com now.

“2026 is really about expansion and evolution for us,” Kim shared in a statement with WWD. “This is only the beginning. We have new flavors coming that I’m so excited about — and flavors are not what you typically see in the energy space. We’re also constantly evolving — new ideas, new ways to experience Update. We’re building something modern and fun, but still really aligned with wellness and quality.”

“It immediately aligned with how I think about wellness and energy. I’m someone who moves at a really intense pace but still prioritizes focus, balance and what I put in my body,” she added. “The energy category can feel loud and Update offers something different — a more intentional approach designed for sustaining energy. It became part of my routine very naturally.”

Back in January, Kim was spotted on the set of her new Netflix movie The Fifth Wheel, where she was seen carrying a can of Update, with the old design, of course.

That Leonardo DiCaprio 'Pasta, Pasta & More Pasta' 1991 Interview Is Real, Mentioned During Golden Globes 2026! https://www.justjared.com/2026/01/12/that-leonardo-dicaprio-pasta-pasta-more-pasta-1991-interview-is-real-mentioned-during-golden-globes-2026/ https://www.justjared.com/2026/01/12/that-leonardo-dicaprio-pasta-pasta-more-pasta-1991-interview-is-real-mentioned-during-golden-globes-2026/#comments Mon, 12 Jan 2026 20:04:13 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2026/01/12/that-leonardo-dicaprio-pasta-pasta-more-pasta-1991-interview-is-real-mentioned-during-golden-globes-2026/

Leonardo DiCaprio really did express his love for pasta at a young age!

The 51-year-old actor was playfully mocked by the 2026 Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser during her opening monologue.

At one point, while teasing him for his history of dating younger women, she admitted it was hard finding anything about the notoriously private actor.

Leo, I’m sorry I made that joke, it’s cheap, I tried not to. But we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s nothing else. I searched. The most in-depth interview you’ve ever given was in Teen Beat in 1991. Is your favorite food still ‘pasta, pasta and more pasta?’” she asked, to which he agreed.

The Internet quickly found the then 16-year-old actor’s interview from the magazine.

A scan of the interview revealed that he also shared his favorite vacation spot is “Europe (Germany),” favorite colors are “black and purple,” favorite type of clothes is “Nike,” and worst school subject is “math.”

He cited his first ambition as “acting,” and revealed his first record was Michael Jackson‘s Thriller, and his favorite book is Lord of the Flies.

Find out what else the host said while roasting him!

Sprinkles Cupcakes Closes Shop After 20 Years, Founder Candace Nelson Reacts to News https://www.justjared.com/2025/12/31/sprinkles-cupcakes-closes-shop-after-20-years-founder-candace-nelson-reacts-to-news/ https://www.justjared.com/2025/12/31/sprinkles-cupcakes-closes-shop-after-20-years-founder-candace-nelson-reacts-to-news/#comments Wed, 31 Dec 2025 20:26:12 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2025/12/31/sprinkles-cupcakes-closes-shop-after-20-years-founder-candace-nelson-reacts-to-news/

The once viral cupcake shop, Sprinkles Cupcakes, is officially going out of business.

Founded by Candace Nelson in 2005, the cupcake bakery shot to virality and became a must have dessert item throughout the years, and even launched cupcake ATMs, which could be found in a variety of places, including airports.

Now, after 20 years, the company is closing down and TODAY (December 31) is the last day they will be open.

Founder Candace Nelson, who sold the business to private equity in 2012, took to Instagram to speak to the news of the company she started shutting down.

Keep reading to find out more…

“Today is Sprinkles’ final day,” she wrote on Instagram, along with a video message. “As many of you know, I started Sprinkles in 2005 with a KitchenAid mixer and a big idea. Over the years, we expanded across the country and launched the Cupcake ATM.”

“I sold Sprinkles in 2012 and have no ownership or operational involvement in the company,” she continued. “Still, it’s surreal to see this chapter come to a close – and it’s not how I imagined the story would unfold.”

“I’m deeply grateful to the fans, customers, and community who showed up, celebrated with us, and made Sprinkles part of their traditions – and to the team who made it all happen. I’ll always be proud of what we built,” Candace concluded. “Today, my heart is with the Sprinkles employees. 💔”

According to several reports, employees were only given a one day notice that they would be out of a job at the start of the new year.

Per New York Post, the company is closing due to “financial conditions due to unforeseen business circumstances.”

“The wind-down process will be conducted in an orderly manner to address remaining operational obligations and preserve value to the extent practicable,” a notice said.

Red Lobster Adds New Secret Menu Meal Thanks to Flavor Flav https://www.justjared.com/2024/07/02/red-lobster-adds-new-secret-menu-meal-thanks-to-flavor-flav/ https://www.justjared.com/2024/07/02/red-lobster-adds-new-secret-menu-meal-thanks-to-flavor-flav/#comments Tue, 02 Jul 2024 05:15:32 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2024/07/02/red-lobster-adds-new-secret-menu-meal-thanks-to-flavor-flav/

There’s a new secret menu item at Red Lobster and it’s all thanks to Flavor Flav!

The Public Enemy rapper is one of the restaurant chain’s biggest fans and he decided to do whatever he could to help the business when he heard the company filed for bankruptcy back in May.

Flav made headlines when he went to a local Red Lobster and ordered one of everything on the menu. Now, in honor of his bold move, the restaurant chain has created a new meal that is a sampler of his favorite items!

Keep reading to find out more…

“Flavor Flav’s Faves” meal will come with a Maine lobster tail, snow crab legs, garlic shrimp scampi, bacon macaroni and cheese and the customer’s choice of one side, according to People.

The big twist is that the meal won’t be featured on Red Lobster’s menu. You have to know about it to order it! Just ask your server for Flavor Flav’s Faves and make sure to get your Cheddar Bay Biscuits to start.

Flav said, “As a long-time Red Lobster fan, I’m fired up to bring a little bit of my own flavor to fans with a meal featuring my seafood favorites. You gotta get to Red Lobster and give it a try because this signature meal is hype, boy!”

Did you see the other reason why Flav is in the news right now?

Is the Price of the Costco Hot Dog Combo Going Up? New CFO Addresses If There Will Be a Change https://www.justjared.com/2024/05/31/is-the-price-of-the-costco-hot-dog-combo-going-up-new-cfo-addresses-if-there-will-be-a-change/ https://www.justjared.com/2024/05/31/is-the-price-of-the-costco-hot-dog-combo-going-up-new-cfo-addresses-if-there-will-be-a-change/#comments Fri, 31 May 2024 04:53:19 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2024/05/31/is-the-price-of-the-costco-hot-dog-combo-going-up-new-cfo-addresses-if-there-will-be-a-change/

Costco has become one of the most well-known warehouse stores in the world!

Founded in Seattle, Wash., in 1983, the retailer has expanded all across the United States, and has branched out to countries like Australia, Mexico, Canada, China, France, Sweden, Japan and many more. There are over 800 warehouse locations worldwide.

One must during a Costco trip for many is to the café to get one of their quick service food items, from pizza to a hot dog, or even an ice cream sundae.

Costco has also become synonymous with it’s low price for a hot dog combo – a quarter pound beef hot dog or polish, and a 20 oz soda – which has been priced at $1.50 since it first opened.

So, will that price ever change? There were rumors of the possibility after CFO Richard Galanti stepped down in March.

Keep reading to find out more…

The company’s new chief financial officer, Gary Millerchip, just shared on update on the hot dog combo amid increasing prices.

“I also want to confirm the $1.50 hot dog price is safe,” he told CNN’s Nathaniel Meyersohn on Thursday (May 30).

Back in 2018, Craig Jelinek, who was CEO at the time, recalled a convo with previous CEO Jim Sinegal, who is one of the founders of Costco, telling him that the combo price would never change.

“‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out,’” Craig recalled Jim telling him.

Back in April, Costco started cracking down on who has access to eat their food court, with it being limited to Costco members only.

If you didn’t know, AriZona Iced Tea has also maintained a low price of $0.99 for it’s 23oz can for many years!

Travis Kelce & Patrick Mahomes Team Up Off the Field To Open New Kansas City Restaurant https://www.justjared.com/2024/03/14/travis-kelce-patrick-mahomes-team-up-off-the-field-to-open-new-kansas-city-restaurant/ https://www.justjared.com/2024/03/14/travis-kelce-patrick-mahomes-team-up-off-the-field-to-open-new-kansas-city-restaurant/#comments Fri, 15 Mar 2024 02:40:23 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2024/03/14/travis-kelce-patrick-mahomes-team-up-off-the-field-to-open-new-kansas-city-restaurant/

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are going into business together!

The 2024 Super Bowl champions and close friends will be opening a new restaurant in Kansas City named after their jersey numbers, which will launch in 2025.

They will be teaming up with restaurant group Noble 33 for their new venture.

Get more details inside…

Travis and Patrick‘s restaurant will be named 1587 Prime, and will be a modern American steakhouse. 1587 is of course based off of their jersey numbers – Travis‘ is 87 and Patrick‘s is 15.

Travis and I have become frequent visitors of Noble 33 restaurants in other cities, so it only made sense to bring something special to our own community in Kansas City,” Patrick shared in a statement, via E! News.

“We’re excited to be a part of this journey with Noble 33 to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience, and what better place to start than our very own, Kansas City,” Travis added.

A press release reveals that the restaurant will feature the state’s largest wine collection, with “multiple private dining rooms, a world-class chef’s kitchen, a jaw-dropping meat display, all with hyper-subtle nods to Patrick and Travis‘ on-field accomplishments.”

1587 Prime is set to open in early 2025 inside the Loew’s Hotel Kansas.

This isn’t the first Travis and Patrick have gone into business together on a restaurant concept. They are also investors in the restaurant chain Chicken N Pickle.

The Kansas City Chiefs teammates are also investors in the Formula 1 team, BWT Alpine F1 Team, along with actor Ryan Reynolds and golfer Rory McIlroy.

Kelly Ripa's Nutritionist Reveals Her Daily Diet: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Meals Revealed! https://www.justjared.com/2024/02/22/kelly-ripas-nutritionist-reveals-her-daily-diet-breakfast-lunch-dinner-meals-revealed/ https://www.justjared.com/2024/02/22/kelly-ripas-nutritionist-reveals-her-daily-diet-breakfast-lunch-dinner-meals-revealed/#comments Thu, 22 Feb 2024 16:15:37 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2024/02/22/kelly-ripas-nutritionist-reveals-her-daily-diet-breakfast-lunch-dinner-meals-revealed/

Kelly Ripa‘s nutritionist is sharing details of her diet.

Dr. Daryl Gioffre, who has worked with the star for years, opened up to E! News in an interview about her nutrition plan.

“I’ve never met someone who is busier than Kelly. She is supermom. She is just amazing on the show. She works out seven days a week, and she maintains this incredible strength eating lifestyle that I’ve taught her,” he said.

“Every time you’re hungry or you’re gonna put something in your body, it has to be something that is going to strengthen you from the inside out,” he adds of “strength eating.”

Keep reading to find out more…

“Just start with one thing, but master that one thing, commit to that one thing and do that one thing consistently,” he went on to say, referencing adding a green juice to his daily routine when he was a self-described sugar addict. “And then when you feel good enough that that’s part of your lifestyle, you do it on a regular basis and it’s automatic, you don’t have to think about it, then you can add the next thing and then the next thing.”

Her morning begins with a scoop of his Acid-Kicking Green powder from his brand Alkamind with a glass of water. He also suggests drinking a green juice, but avoiding ones with sugary fruit juice.

Then she has her coffee, blending it with grass-fed butter and his Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizer. She’ll wait until after her show to have her snack of a green apple, a few tablespoons of almond butter and a teaspoon of cinnamon that she mixes into a porridge-like consistency.

For lunch, she’ll have a salad topped with microgreens, sprouts, avocado and raw nuts.

And for dinner, she’ll usually eat a smaller version of the salad she had for lunch.

“She’ll add in some steamed vegetables or some sauteed vegetables or some grilled greens. And she likes to have the vegetables in season because they’re just better for you. And then she’ll have a protein and that could be grilled tofu or tahini or some fish protein.”

For a sweet afterward, she’ll have avocado chocolate mousse, which contains avocados, pure vanilla extract, raw cacao, dates and sea salt. Or his chocolate chia pudding for fiber.

Before bed, she drinks his Acid-Kicking Detox Tea featuring turmeric, ginger, lemon and black pepper.

“It’s not about deprivation, it’s about moderation,” he adds.
