Costco brings back viral Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches
Richmond's Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches are back at Costco. Why it matters: When Costco stores added them last year, they sold out in one weekend. Driving the news: Nightingale spokesperson Molly Szkotak tells Axios that "we're in a much better position this time around" regarding inventory planning — so no empty shelves yet. That means you can still get an 18-pack of their new Strawberry Shortcake flavor, which is strawberry ice cream filling held together by two brown sugar cookies. They're sold bite-sized and exclusively at Costco for $19.99. Caveat: The sandwiches, voted the best grocery store ice cream sandwich ever by this month, are available only in Virginia and East Coast states north of us. The intrigue: When a Costco influencer (yes, they exist!) partnered with Nightingale to post about the new sandwiches, it became her most viewed Instagram video — ever. Nearly a million people have watched it, and the comments are flooded with people nationwide (we're talking Texas, California, Georgia, etc.) asking for the sandwiches to come to their Costcos, too. Pro tip: If you don't have a Costco membership, there are Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches in essentially every store in the Richmond area.

Is this Carrie Bradshaw most ridiculous look ever? Sarah Jessica Parker trolled for insane hat on And Just Like That
Sarah Jessica Parker's fashionista character, Carrie Bradshaw, seemed to have missed the mark with one of her looks on the third season of And Just Like That. During Thursday's premiere episode, titled 'Outlook Good' — which also featured a lesbian sex scene with virgin nun played by Rosie O'Donnell — Carrie was seen strolling through the park wearing an outlandish hat. The massive bonnet-style accessory was made of a gingham-patterned fabric in shades of light orange and white. Fans were not impressed with Carrie's eye-catching look, with many trolling her as they compared the hat to one worn by the popular cartoon character Strawberry Shortcake. Some even quipped they wanted to 'call the fashion police.' 'Why is she cosplaying as Strawberry Shortcake?' one asked, while another shared a side-by-side asking, 'Who wore it better?' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I can get behind the wildest of Carrie's fashion choices but this duvet cover of a hat is truly unhinged.' 'I love the show but someone needs to call the fashion police on Carrie's hat lol!' 'I know nothing about fashion, but what is this hat Carrie is wearing?' 'What's happening here...' someone else wondered. 'Are we all seeing this, is this a joke, what is happening?' 'I'm sorry, but what was that hat? I feel ill.' '2 things I could've done without on the 1st episode of Season 3... This hat and Rosie O'Donnell.' 'Carrie's Yosemite-Sam-Meets-Aladdin 'hat' is the epitome of everything wrong (and perfect) with #AJLT.' Elsewhere on the show fans were stunned by a shocking performance from newcomer Rosie, who played a sex-starved nun. The sequel to the fan beloved Sex and the City series follows friends Carrie Bradshaw (Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) and their tangled lives in New York City. The first episode of the new season features Rosie, 63, in her guest role as a virgin nun named Mary, who is Miranda's potential lesbian love interest. The two hit it off at the bar, and Mary proceeds to flirt with Miranda, telling her, 'You are so pretty' before brazenly letting her know that she has a 'hotel room.' The morning after their passionate night, Mary reveals a truth that leaves Miranda utterly stunned: she had taken Mary's virginity. Following the premiere, bewildered fans took to social media questioning the wild plot line, with one asking, 'Who came up with that!?' 'Omfg, miranda finally comes out as a lesbian and her first pickup is rosie o'donnell as a nun, christ, wut,' another one asked. 'Miranda hooking up with Rosie O'Donnell and it hasn't even been 10 minutes… what the hell sure.' 'Not a virgin!!' another fan chimed in. 'Giiiiiirl, Miranda and Rosie O'Donnell was not in my bingo card.' 'Really Rosie O'Donell!!!' 'I was -not- expecting to see Rosie O'Donnell pop up!' Another wrote: 'I'm only 7 minutes into Season 3 of 'And Just Like That' and we're already in a lesbian bar with Miranda going home with Rosie O' will they ever learn to read the room?' The scene starts out with Mary, who hails from a small town outside of Winnipeg, telling Miranda that she is in town for the world conference for 'Compassion of the Unhoused.' Mary then invites Miranda to her hotel. 'Okay,' Miranda responds, after a moment of hesitation. Later on Miranda and Mary wake up next to each other in bed. 'You are amazing,' Mary tells her. 'I have never experienced anything like that.' Miranda and Mary hit it off at the bar, and Mary proceeds to flirt with Miranda, telling her, 'You are so pretty' before brazenly letting her know that she has a 'hotel room' 'So then, this was your first time with a woman?' Miranda asks 'This is my first time with anyone,' Mary responds. She further shocks Miranda by admitting she is a 'nun' Miranda later tells Carrie that the nun is 'in love' with her, and continues to text her trying to meet up. Miranda says she feels 'mean' for not texting back, but eventually goes to meet Mary in Times Square Mary proceeds to tell her that their encounter felt 'electric, and yet, still so natural.' She then drops a shocking bombshell, telling Miranda: 'I never dreamed my first time could be both those things.' 'First time?' Miranda questions, to which Mary nods. 'So then, this was your first time with a woman?' 'This is my first time with anyone,' Mary responds, adding, 'I'm a virgin. I was a virgin.' She further shocks Miranda by admitting she is a 'nun.' The second season finale wrapped up with some significant shifts, especially for Carrie, who hosted a farewell dinner party in her iconic single-girl New York City apartment, gathering the cast to symbolically let go of something holding them back. Carrie herself let go of the 'expectations,' particularly concerning her rekindled romance with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), who put their relationship on an unexpected five-year pause and explained he needed to focus on raising his son, Wyatt. The latest episode starts out with Carrie sending Aiden a postcard to Virginia, with just a heart scribbled on it. Afterwards, she meets with Miranda and Charlotte at a bar. She tells them that Aiden wanted no communication while he handles family issues back home, but that they've been sending each other post cards. Miranda asks Carrie if she's sending him postcards to 'remind him you're getting old in New York.' Later, in the middle of the night, Carrie gets a call from Aiden. He tells her he misses her and that he's sitting in the back of the house in his truck drinking beer They then proceed to have phone sex, but it's interrupted when he accidentally honks the horn with his knee Carrie explains she is simply trying to 'let him know I'm here, I love him.' Carrie then reminds her girlfriends that she has a busy life away from Aiden, explaining, 'I'm a big girl in a big city with a big house to furnish. I've got plenty to do up here while he figures stuff out down there.' Carrie and Charlotte then leave Miranda, as they think she is being hit on by another woman. However, when Miranda approaches her, she introduces herself as Miranda's son Brady's former babysitter, Cassandra Walsh. Miranda then awkwardly tells her about her divorce from her ex Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). Nicole Ari Parker and Sarita Choudhury returned as the group's new besties Lisa and Seema. Seema has an accident after lighting up a cigarette in bed, causing the mattress and her hair to light on fire, with a fireman later chastising her for smoking in bed. Carrie and Seema are then seen strolling through a park, with Carrie rocking a giant eye-catching hat on her head. Later on Carrie returns home and proceeds to slip and fall while running to turn off her house alarm. Miranda comes over to help her, and reveals her sexual encounter with Mary. Later, in the middle of the night, Carrie gets a call from Aiden. He tells her he misses her and that he's sitting in the back of the house in his truck drinking beer. Seema has an accident after lighting up a cigarette in bed, causing the mattress and her hair to light on fire, with a fireman later chastising her for smoking in bed They then proceed to have phone sex, but it's interrupted when he accidentally honks the horn with his knee. Aiden then proceeds to go on but Carrie can't, after noticing her cat watching her. However she continues to fake it, before later telling her girlfriends that she feels 'dishonest' about it. Meanwhile Seema breaks up with boyfriend Ravi Gordy, after feeling ignored by him. The scene then switched to Miranda, who tells Carrie that the nun is 'in love' with her, and continues to text her trying to meet up. Miranda says she feels 'mean' for not texting back, but eventually goes to meet Mary in Times Square. Mary then invites Miranda to 'spend the night.' Miranda tries to get out it, as Mary proceeds to sing a verse from Wicked to her. Carrie calls Aiden later in the night, and tells her she faked their phone sex the night prior. She then attempts to start it up again, but he tells her his son is sleeping next to him. Embarrassed, she awkwardly apologizes and hangs up. Unable to go to sleep after he house alarm goes off again, Carrie gets up and opens her laptop, beginning to write. 'The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into,' Carrie wrote, before the episode came to an end. The show picks up 11 years after the events of the 2010 film Sex and the City 2, and follows three of the four original main characters. Following the success of Kim Cattrall 's cameo in the second season, it's been widely reported Samantha will return for at least part of the third season. Sara Ramirez will not be returning as controversial non-binary comedian Che Diaz (there's some disagreement as to whether this was because of their political posts, because of the end of the character's relationship with Miranda, or because viewers just found them so annoying). Karen Pittman also won't return as Columbia law professor Nya Wallace because of scheduling conflicts. Meanwhile The OC's Logan Marshall-Green and the one and only Patti LuPone will all make appearances in the new series. Since starting in December 2021, the Sex And The City spin-off has seen Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte grapple with sexuality, gender identity, death, grief, divorce, drug use, and pretty much every other hot issue in Western society. The original Sex and the City ran for six seasons, airing on HBO from 1998 until 2004. The story continued with two feature films: Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010). The first season of And Just Like That... premiered in 2021. There will be 12 episodes in And Just Like That… season 3, with the last premiering on August 14. The season 3 premiere comes after Parker revealed Mr. Big's death on the show was 'really hard' for her to film. The actress addressed the shocking moment in the show where Carrie's husband Mr. Big (Chris Noth) died of a heart attack after working out on his Pelaton bike. Mr. Big had been a staple character of Sex And The City and Carrie's main love interest so it was a risk for writers to kill him off. Speaking on The E! News Sitdown with Bruce Bozzi, Sarah gave her thoughts on the storyline. She said: 'Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally. That's not just a thread. It's one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without.' 'It was really sad to say goodbye to that. It's not like I needed it for my own health or wellbeing. But that was a hugely wonderful story to tell for a lot of years.' Since Big's death, Carrie has rekindled her romance with old flame Aidan, who she was involved with in seasons three and four of Sex And The City.
