The rug is made of power-loomed 100 percent polyester that’s sturdy enough to hold up to heavy foot traffic. That’s because power loom weaves the short fibers tightly into the rug’s base for a low pile. So, while it’s not fluffy like a shag rug, you won’t get that crushed texture commonly caused by too much use. While it has a low pile, it’s incredibly soft. In fact, it’s one of shoppers’ favorite features. One reviewer gave it five stars and called it “the softest rug [they’ve] ever walked on,” while another said that it “feels great underfoot.”
In addition to its smoothness, the rug is easy to maintain thanks to the machine-washable design. Area rugs up to 7.6 inches by 9.6 inches and runner styles can be cleaned in most home washing machines on a delicate, cold cycle, and then hung or laid flat to dry. You don’t have to clean it every time a kid (or an adult) spills something or a pet has an accident, though. It can be vacuumed with gentle suction and no beater bar to remove dirt and debris, and it can be spot cleaned with water or a mild detergent if the area is stubborn.
While it feels nice and is easy to clean, it’s also easy on the eyes. It has a vintage-inspired design with shades of muted tans and earthy blues for a pop of color that won’t overwhelm your space. The antique-looking pattern also helps disguise dirt tracked in by guests, pets, and kids. Shoppers love the old-world quality, too, with one customer saying the rug looks vintage without a “fake distressed look,” and one person loved the design and feel so much that they bought five for all around their home.
If you’ve had trouble tracking down the ideal area rug for pets, kids, and heavy foot traffic, the Joanna Gaines x Loloi Banks Rug could be just what you need. Keep scrolling to see even more pet-friendly rugs from Gaines’ collection that we found at Wayfair.

‘Euphoria’ kills off Jacob Elordi’s Nate Jacobs

He’s not feeling euphoric.
Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched “Euphoria’s” seventh episode of Season 3.
“Euphoria” catapulted Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya into their current status as A-listers, and now, one has been axed from the show.
Season 3 killed Elordi’s controversial character, Nate Jacobs.
He was buried alive in a coffin, with a pipe leading to the surface so that he could breathe. A rattlesnake slithered down the pipe and bit him.
He had been placed there by Naz (Jack Topalian), the gangster he owes about a million dollars to.
Naz’s plan was to leave Nate down there (with a pipe to breathe) for 72 hours while his wife, Cassie (Sweeney) could get the money together.
Unfortunately for Nate, before 72 hours was up, a snake got him. Naz also didn’t make it out alive, as he was fatally shot by Season 3’s other gangster, Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Cassie and Maddy (Alexa Demie) scrambled to get the money together as Nate got dug up, but they got a nasty surprise, as they were met with his dead body.
In the “inside the episode” segment at the end, Elordi said in his post-mortem interview, “It was a cool way to go, Nate is somebody who’s made so many mistakes and so many dark choices.”
First premiering in 2019, the Sam Levinson-created drama initially followed its characters in high school. Elordi, Zendaya and Sweeney were lesser known at the time.
“Euphoria changed my life,” Elordi, 28, told Variety in 2023.
“Saltburn” was the Australian star’s big-screen breakout that same year. Per Vogue Australia, his “Wuthering Heights” co-star Margot Robbie (who produced “Saltburn”) suggested him for the role at the time after watching him in “Euphoria.”
The “Frankenstein” star told GQ UK in 2023 that before landing on the HBO show, “I wasn’t booking jobs. I think I had – I don’t know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account – and ‘Euphoria’ was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”
In the first two seasons, Nate was the show’s villain. He was a high school jock with anger issues – he manipulated, threatened and blackmailed everyone around him, choked his then-girlfriend, Maddy (Alexa Demi), and struck up a relationship with her best friend, Cassie (Sweeney).
Nate’s issues stemmed from finding his father Cal’s (Eric Dane) sex tapes at a young age.
In Season 3, which is set five years after high school, Nate had a dramatically different personality.
His rage issues inexplicably seemed vanished, his demeanor was softer and nicer and he appeared to genuinely love Cassie (instead of using her, like he was in Season 2).
Instead of being menacing, he did a goofy dance at his wedding. After he didn’t get his way in front of a board of bureucrats, rather than blackmail or threaten them, he just pathetically cried and begged.
Outraged fans criticized “Euphoria” for Nate’s inexplicable personality change and slammed it for giving the character a “lobotomy.”
Season 3 saw Nate take over his dad’s construction business, but he ran into issues when he had to stop his build because of an endangered flower – the white fritillary.
The show also revealed that he conned people into giving him money for his construction projects, including the gangster Naz.
In the third episode of Season 3, when Nate didn’t pay Naz the half a million dollars he owed him, Naz interrupted Nate and Cassie’s wedding and had him brutally beaten on his wedding night. It all culminated in Naz cutting off Nate’s toe. However, Nate later got it sewn back on.
Topalian exclusively told Page Six that Elordi did most of his own stunts during the scene where Naz’s henchmen threw Nate around.
“That’s [Elordi] really doing the struggling and the fighting and the falling and all of that,” he told us.
He called Elordi “committed,” “giving,” and “prepared,” but “between scenes, he’s back to being Jacob.”
“Obviously, he gets back into character really quickly,” he went on. “But once [the director calls ‘cut’] even though he’s been beaten and abused, he’s still having a lot of fun. He’s still cracking jokes and doing things like that.”
Elordi told Entertainment Weekly in November that his acting process was different in Season 3. He noted that he likes to “obsess over” his work, and take the time to prepare by going through “every element and construct it and put it together.”
The booked and busy actor – who was in “Frankenstein” and “Wuthering Heights” back to back – noted that he had “no time” to prepare for Season 3.
“And I didn’t have scripts in any kind of full sense. I sort of just had creative conversations with Sam, so I had no choice.”
The “Priscilla” actor also noted that he “loves” Nate, even though most fans hate him.
“I act to understand a different experience, to express an experience that’s different to my own,” said Elordi. “Playing him taught me a lot about empathy and patience, which is strange with a character like that.”
Elordi also told the outlet that Nate’s dark deeds didn’t bother him.
“It’s a real treat to be a part of that show, and to play the quote-unquote bad guy,” he said. “It’s always more fun. You don’t wanna play some morally superior, world-saving loser.”

Robert De Niro had no idea ‘Taxi Driver’ would become a classic

You talkin’ to him?
Robert De Niro had no idea his 1976 film “Taxi Driver” would be lauded as a classic.
“You never can think that you’re doing something that’s going to have an impact,” the actor, 82, exclusively explained to Page Six in a recent interview alongside his fellow Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal to promote next month’s event.
The Oscar winner “just never look[s] at it that way,” he adding, noting that success is “out of your control.”
The neo-noir drama, directed by Martin Scorsese, stars De Niro as an unhinged taxi driver named Travis Bickle, whose mental state deteriorates over the course of the movie.
De Niro acted in the iconic role alongside Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, and Albert Brooks.
The project generated controversy at the time for graphic violence and 12-year-old Foster’s casting as a child sex worker — and, later, for inspiring John Hinckley Jr.’s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
Nevertheless, it is considered one of the greatest movies ever made and, in 1994, was designated as “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant by the U.S. Library of Congress when selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
The movie, which turned 50 this year, is being screened at the June film festival — and De Niro and Scorsese, 83, will reunite for a conversation about the project.
Their sitdown is just one of many special talks and screenings taking place at this year’s 25th Tribeca Festival.
Not only are interviews with Madonna, Sean Penn and Josh Safdie also scheduled, but there will be special anniversary screenings of “Cable Guy” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary.”
“There are so many great things to see,” Rosenthal told us. “There’s so much music, everybody from Earth, Wind and Fire and Madonna to Noga Erez and Sarah Bareilles and Peter Frampton.
“There’s just a lot to see,” the 69-year-old continued, stressing that the festival is “a welcome festival for all New Yorkers [with] tickets available” now.
The annual event, which runs from June 3 through June 14, was established in 2002 to spur the revitalization of Lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

Laura Clery praises first responders after being crushed by fridge

Comedian and social media star Laura Clery praised the first responders who helped her after she was pinned beneath a 600 pound fridge in a freak accident.
Clery was seen in an Instagram video wearing a neck brace while speaking with emergency workers in an ambulance.
“So I was crushed by a 600 pound fridge,” Clery said as she looked up at two firefighters. “Is that correct?”
One of the mean — both of whom wore navy blue uniforms — responded, “Yes.”
A dazed Clery then looked into the camera before the clip ended. She wrote atop the video, “Shout out to these actual HEROES who pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me.”
“This was right after the fentanyl hit and all of my pain [went] away (instantly) I just need to say THANK YOU to these AMAZING firefighters who saved my life!!” the YouTuber captioned the video on Saturday.
“Truly. They got there so fast, broke through my garage door, and 3 of them pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me and got me safely to the trauma unit before things got worse.”
Clery also reflected on how “differently this could have gone” and said she felt “overwhelming gratitude.”
“No broken bones, my kids are okay and safe, I can walk… I’m so lucky!” she continued, praising the personnel as being “calm, kind” and handling “everything like absolute heroes!”
“And then right as one of them pushes the fridge off me, he goes, ‘Wait… I watch all of your videos!’ and they all start hyping me up 😭 like sir… I am currently being flattened but thank you 😂”
She concluded the post, “Forever grateful for these men. Real life angels. 😭🙏❤️”
In the comments thread, Clery admitted that she was “nervous” about fentanyl before it was administered, “but the pain was so severe that they injected it into me and thank God I had no craving to do it again as a recovering addict,” she wrote.
“That’s something we have to think about even when facing an immense amount of pain.”
Clery, 39, shared details of the “most terrifying night of [her] life as a single mom” in an Instagram upload on Thursday.
She said she was getting ready for bed earlier this week when her “600 pound fridge slammed into me and pinned me against the counter.”
During the terrifying incident, she “couldn’t move” and “couldn’t breathe” and that her kids Alfie, 7, and Poppy, 5 — whom she shares with ex-husband Stephen Hilton — were in the house at the time.
“Thank God it didn’t fall on my kids,” she wrote atop a video of her being transported to an ambulance.
The social media personality was able to reach into her pocket for her phone and call 911. “It took three firefighters to lift it off me,” she said. “I’m still shaking.”
She was also able to text Hilton writing, “I’m dying. Come by now now now.”
In the video, Clery could be heard complaining of severe pain following the incident.
She later shared that her son Alfie, who is autistic, had toppled the weighty refrigerator while climbing on it and that it wasn’t “properly mounted into the wall.”
Clery also stated that she wants to “f–king sue the contractor” who installed the fridge and called the oversight “negligence.”
