Fox greenlights military endurance show featuring Spice Girl Mel B, Jamie Lynn Spears and more

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Fox is debuting a new celebrity endurance show “Special Forces: The Ultimate Test.”

The series, which will feature 16 celebrities undergoing challenges used in the Special Forces selection process, will premiere in January 2023.

“These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, quickly learn the meaning of ‘no guts, no glory’ – and no glam,” Fox’s press release stated.

The cast includes former “Bachelorette” star Hannah Brown, musician Mel B, Jamie Lynn Spears, reality TV star Kate Gosselin, “Real Housewives” star Kenya Moore, Dr. Drew Pinksy, celebrity chef Tyler Florence, R&B musician Montell Jordan, “7th Heaven” star Beverley Mitchell and former Donald Trump communications chief Anthony Scaramucci.

Several sports stars are also featured, including NFL player Danny Amendola, Olympian Nastia Liukin, NBA alum Dwight Howard, skier Gus Kensworthy, MLB star Mike Piazza and soccer player Carli Lloyd.

The celebrities will be led through Special Forces training exercises by Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox and Remi Adeleke, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives.

The only ways to be eliminated from the show are through injury, giving up or “by force” from the DS agents.

“‘Special Forces: The Ultimate Test’ puts celebrities you know and love through the most pure and authentic test of endurance that I have ever seen,” Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment & specials, said in a statement. “In many ways, it is more about mental strength than physical strength.”

“It’s an eye-opening glimpse into the most intense training in the world and gives a taste of the grit and bravery our armed forces show on a daily basis, which was a life-changing experience for these celebrities.”

Pumpkin spice is here to stay. It’s time to accept it and move on.

Comment

This week, Starbucks began selling its seasonal pumpkin spice lattes, an annual event that has become the symbolic starting pistol of the crisp, floating-leaf, cable-knit autumn of our collective imagination. Never mind that, back in the right-side-up world, summer sweat is still rolling down our backs.

But something feels different this year as we peruse the aisles of the grocery store, already laden with an ever-expanding assortment of cookie dough and cocoa mixes and candles scented with clove and allspice. The vibe, it seems, has shifted for pumpkin spice. Or rather, it seems pumpkin spice is no longer a recognizable vibe. Instead, it’s just inevitable. Like death, taxes and new Taylor Swift albums, pumpkin spice is now merely a part of the human condition.

Throw pumpkin spice into the pile of things that once served as cultural markers but now read as neutral: Denim and tattoos, for example, were once reserved for the counterculture, but now they’re just as at home at the PTA as in the demimonde. Punk music now sells minivans.

So goes it with pumpkin spice, which used to be seen as part of a lifestyle choice, a signifier of the flavor’s most ardent acolytes: women (mostly White, mostly with flawless highlights) who loved brunch and cozy sweaters and pick-your-own apple orchards and painted signs in their kitchens reminding them to dream. Now pumpkin spice season arrives like any other meteorological phenomenon. It’s here for everyone, like it or not.

Pickle pizza started as a novelty but it has now become a big dill

“You are bound to run into something pumpkin-spiced, maybe pancakes or a seasonal drink,” says Melanie Zanoza Bartelme, who tracks food trends for market-research firm Mintel. “You can’t avoid it, so you don’t have to be embarrassed about enjoying it. It’s here. It’s all around us.”

Emily Contois, an assistant professor at the University of Tulsa who studies food and media, likened the flavor’s mainstreaming to that of Uggs, those fluffy-lined boots that make their wearers look like they have baked potatoes for feet. Ultra trendy in the late 1990s and early aughts, they were soon written off by the fashion elite only to be ironically revived every so often. Now, they’re just another brand. “It was either, ‘Oh, that’s a bubble that’s going to burst,’ or ‘We’re never wearing these again,’” she says. “But then these boots became part of our lives.”

Some cynics inevitably still scorn those who embrace #pumpkinspiceSZN with Instagram gusto, but along with the mockery on social media, there’s another strain of thinking that seems borne of the near-universal slog of the last few years: Maybe just let it go? If a PSL isn’t your thing, just order your regular latte. Or don’t. Do you.

As one proponent of that attitude warned on Twitter on the day of the Starbucks pumpkin-spice latte debut: “Y’ALL, listen to me. There will be NO pumpkin spice slander today. Today we are going to let people enjoy things!!!!”

“Who cares if someone is excited about a Taylor Swift album or a pumpkin spice latte?” another wrote. “Let people feel joy and leave them alone.”

It’s not your imagination: Pumpkin spice products really are proliferating. They accounted for more than $231 million in sales over the last year, according to NielsenIQ data, which is nearly 27 percent higher than the year before. This season, Oreo is offering a limited-time pumpkin spice flavor for the first time since 2017.

The flavor is especially concentrated in the breakfast category, which makes sense given its barista-borne origins. You can find it in cereals (including Special K, Frosted Mini-Wheats and Cheerios), baked goods (Thomas bagels and English muffins and Pillsbury Grands) and yogurts (Chobani, Siggi’s and Oui). Coffee creamers and cold brews abound. In my recent Washington-area shopping rounds, I didn’t see any of the novelty products that marked the heyday of peak pumpkin spice. No Spam, for instance, or potato chips, which I took as a sign of the flavor’s journey past trendiness.

No one bases their personality on preferring strawberry ice cream over chocolate, or ascribes a persona to those who do. So how did pumpkin spice assume its own spot on the list of flavors one can enjoy without making a big thing out of it? Let’s go back for a moment to the olden days of 2003, when Starbucks introduced its seasonal latte spiked with the warming flavors of baking spices.

As its popularity spread on then-nascent social media feeds, “pumpkin spice became the ultimate symbol of basicness,” as my colleague Maura Judkis noted in 2017. Eventually the Basic Beckys of the world embraced it as their totem, celebrated on shirts and mugs with sayings like “you had me at pumpkin spice.”

I used every pumpkin spice item. Now my armpits smell like nutmeg.

Nearly two decades later, we’re in the fourth wave of pumpkin spice, where one can order a pumpkin-spiced cold brew without a side of baggage or irony, thanks to those early pioneers, of course, but also thanks to the vagaries of human nature and the food marketers who understand it. It seems there was an opportunity for an early-fall flavor, lodged somewhere between the bright fruits of summer and the looming array of holiday tastes, from peppermint to gingerbread.

Nature — and capitalism — abhors a vacuum. “There was an opening,” Bartelme says. Having a flavor to gravitate to when summer is ending can be comforting, she says. “It’s sort of compensation. Pumpkin spice says, ‘Warm me up, hold me in your coffee arms and tell me everything is going to be okay.’”

Contois offers a grimmer explanation for that seasonal appeal. As climate change results in summers of record heat and violent storms, she notes, the idea of autumn that pumpkin spice’s flavors conjure is ever more reassuring. “We have these brutal summers that are uncomfortable and dangerous, and so we’re yearning for the cool air and crunchy leaves,” she says. “That yearning is real.”

A more straightforward reason it has caught on? Well, pumpkin spice, with its blend of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger and allspice, is actually pretty good as far as a flavor profile goes.

In late August, I started skimming grocery shelves, seeking out the telltale burnt-umber tones of pumpkin spice packaging. I amassed more than a dozen items and sampled them over a few days, hoping that the husky spices and warm-me-up textures they promised would somehow transport me from my current reality, where the AC isn’t quite strong enough for the soup-humid, 90-plus air around me and the last word I’d use to describe my attitude is “reinvigorated.”

It turns out that while pumpkin spice is perfectly good, it doesn’t necessarily elevate whatever medium is conveying it. I’ve always liked Frosted Mini-Wheats. The seasonal version, though aggressively colored with orange frosting, was a nice change. I’m a fan of Greek yogurt, and I enjoyed Chobani’s nutmeg-forward version. A buttered Thomas English muffin and a mug of Harney & Sons tea — both spiked with gentle baking spice sweetness — was a lovely afternoon snack, one I might have picked for a cool afternoon even if I wasn’t on this bizarre mission.

On the other hand, I generally avoid Starbucks coffee and its bitter sting, and the assertively pumpkin-spiced iterations of its beans and cold brew did nothing to change my opinion. I even tried throwing in pumpkin-spiced creamers from Coffee Mate and Starbucks, and they definitely didn’t help. But then again, I prefer regular milk in my coffee. Do you like Oreos? Then you’ll probably appreciate their autumnal incarnation, whose spicy scent clung to my hands long after I polished them off.

All told, my experiment didn’t leave me comforted, just cold. Not temperature-wise, of course. As I write this, I’m scooping my hair up into a damp topknot and contemplating fetching a fan from upstairs. But it did offer me a lesson: However appealing, pumpkin spice cannot mask the true nature of anything. Its spell isn’t even enough to convince me that cooler, more pleasant days are just ahead. But I’m okay still marinating in the late-summer heat and its foods like the last of the fat red tomatoes and buttered corn and hamburgers on the grill.

And while I savor those, I’ll just enjoy pumpkin spice as a bit of popular monoculture in these fractious times. I’m not alone in that thought. Recently, Bartelme spotted a service station near her home offering “pumpkin spice oil changes,” and it made her smile. “We’re all in on the joke now.”

Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte is coming back at a higher price

The fall favorite, which returns Tuesday, is getting more expensive with a grande-sized hot PSL costing customers between $5.45 to $5.95 depending on location — a roughly 4% increase compared to 2021. That’s in line with broader price hikes at Starbucks and other chains, which have all increased menu prices gradually over the past year because of inflationary pressures.

The PSL, as it’s often referred to, has been a popular item on Starbucks’ menu for nearly two decades, eliciting excitement among its loyal fan base. Starbucks has sold more than 600 million PSLs since the drink’s introduction in 2003.

Also returning is Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, an iced-drink topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice that Starbucks launched in 2019.
Even with chillier weather approaching, cold drinks are popular with Starbucks customers, accounting for roughly 75% of Starbucks’ total beverage US sales in its most recent quarter. Overall, sales at its US stores open at least 13 months jumped 9% in the quarter.

In addition to pumpkin flavors, Starbucks is bringing back its Apple Crisp Macchiato and its Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, the latter being a new tweak to the 1-year-old drink because it’s now made with the dairy-alternative milk.

Starbucks (SBUX) is entering the PSL battle later than its rivals this year. Krispy Kreme brought back their fall drinks on August 8, its earliest return date ever, and Dunkin’ added pumpkin-flavored drinks and snacks on August 18. Meanwhile, Panera is ditching pumpkin for cinnamon, focusing its fall efforts on a new Cinnamon Crunch Latte inspired by its popular bagel of the same flavor.

These seasonal items build hype and awareness for brands in the competitive fast-food space. In the past, Starbucks has said the pumpkin drinks were the “catalyst” for a record-breaking fourth-quarter performance in 2020.

‘Dune: Spice Wars’ is a strategy game set in Frank Herbert’s sci-fi universe

On the heels of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, a new 4X strategy game set in Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi universe is coming to Steam Early Access next year. Shiro Games, the studio behind real-time strategy game Northgard, is on development duties. Like Civilization or almost any other 4X game, you’ll choose one faction to lead. Naturally, you can pick House Atreides or House Harkonnen, though there will be other two factions to choose from as well. It’s then up to you to lead them to victory on Arrakis.  

There hasn’t been a new Dune game since 2001’s Emperor: Battle for Dune, which was one of the last projects legendary real-time strategy developer Westwood Studios worked on before EA shut it down in 2003. Dune also has a special place in the RTS genre. Alongside Blizzard’s Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, Westwood’s Dune II helped establish many of the of tenets the genre.

Old Spice and Secret recall sprays after cancer-causing chemical detected

Procter & Gamble Co. is recalling some of its Old Spice and Secret aerosol antiperspirant sprays after benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, was found in some products.

The company said it had notified retailers to stop selling the products and said that anyone who owns the sprays should throw them away.

The recall impacts 18 products in total, including eight Old Spice items and 10 Secret sprays that have an expiration date through September 2023. Customers who bought the products were eligible to apply to get reimbursed for their purchase on the Old Spice or Secret websites. 

The company said that “daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products at the levels detected in our testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences.”

Procter & Gamble added that its other products including body sprays, solid sticks and gel antiperspirants and deodorant products were unaffected by the recall, and customers could continue to use those items normally. 

The company also noted that it “has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall and is conducting this recall out of an abundance of caution.”

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) says benzene can be cancer causing in humans. Specifically, long-term exposure to high levels of benzene can cause leukemia. 

Earlier this year, Johnson & Johnson recalled five aerosol sunscreen products, including four Neutrogena products and one Aveeno product, after finding low amounts of benzene in the items.

Procter & Gamble recalls some Old Spice and Secret deodorants after cancer-causing chemical is detected

The recall notice, published earlier this week, noted that the affected products likely will not expose people to levels of benzene high enough to cause health issues. The company added it has not “received any reports of adverse events,” but it’s moving forward with the recall out of “an abundance of caution.”

“Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin and it can result in cancers, including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life-threatening,” the recall notice said.

P&G (PG) wants people who purchased the affected products — which were sold in stores across the United States, as well as online — to throw them away, and the company is offering full refunds. Customers can fill out an online form or contact a hotline at 888-339-7689 Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm ET.

Retailers have been told to remove the products from shelves.

The recall includes the following products with an expiration date before September 2023:
  • Old Spice High Endurance AP Spray Pure Sport
  • Old Spice Hardest Working Collection Invisible Spray Stronger Swagger
  • Old Spice Hardest Working Collection Invisible Spray Pure Sport Plus
  • Old Spice Hardest Working Collection Invisible Spray Stronger Swagger
  • Old Spice Hardest Working Collection Invisible Spray Ultimate Captain
  • Old Spice Below Deck Powder Spray Unscented
  • Old Spice Below Deck Powder Spray Fresh Air
  • Secret Aerosol Powder Fresh Twin Pack
  • Secret Aerosol Powder Fresh
  • Secret Aerosol Powder Fresh
  • Secret Fresh Collection Invisible Spray Waterlily
  • Secret Fresh Collection Invisible Spray Lavender
  • Secret Fresh Collection Invisible Spray Light Essentials
  • Secret Fresh Collection Invisible Spray Rose
  • Secret Outlast Invisible Spray Completely Clean
  • Secret Outlast Invisible Spray Protecting Powder
  • Old Spice Pure Sport 2021 Gift Set
This isn’t the first benzene-related recall of 2021. In July, Johnson & Johnson recalled some spray-on Neutrogena and Aveeno sunscreens after it detected low levels of the carcinogen in the products.
