After a 10-year singing hiatus, Hilary Duff is kicking off her 2026 “Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour” tonight in London.

The Queen of Country is entering her eighth decade and is marking the occasion with — what else? — new music: A fresh take on “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” a song she originally wrote 50 years ago.

Decades after the original “Star Search” wrapped, a new version debuts tonight at 9pm ET on Netflix.

Episodes air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays — and fans can vote live.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments today in the case between President Trump and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who is still in her role. Why it matters: A ruling in the President’s favor could give future presidents broader power to fire Fed governors, potentially paving the way for interest rate decisions to be shaped by politics.
