NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 05: A person exits the Columbia University bookstore in Upper Manhattan on June 05, 2025 in New York City. In the latest in a series of attacks against Columbia University, the Trump administration threatened the university's accredidation after claiming the school violated civil rights laws by “acting with deliberate indifference” in allowing the harassment of Jewish students on campus, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Columbia Sportswear has filed a lawsuit against Columbia University alleging that the school has breached its trademark by selling merchandise bearing its own name. The two parties had previously signed a legal agreement in 2023 to avoid consumer confusion over clothing and merchandise sales, but Columbia Sportswear now claims that the educational institution is in breach of that agreement. “The likelihood of deception, confusion, and mistake engendered by the university’s misappropriation and misuse of the Columbia name is causing irreparable harm to the brand... and the reputation for quality it embodies,” the lawsuit claims. The sportswear label alleges that the university has sold several items in a bright blue color similar to their own iconic shade, while other garments bear only the name “Columbia” without any of the accompanying qualifiers, like “university,” “1754,″ or their academic insignia, as required under the agreement. Columbia Sportswear gets its name from the Columbia River in Oregon, while the university was renamed in 1784—30 years after its founding—in honor of Christopher Columbus.
Nick Cannon has opened up about his one wish for his five daughters: that they avoid dating men like him. He shared this tidbit while talking with Extra’s Mona Kosar Abdi about how being a “girl dad” has changed him, telling the host, “When you have five daughters and you’re like, ‘All right, I at least want to be able to be true and honest,’ but like I can’t live the same life that I’ve always been living and attempt to right my wrongs in that sense of where like hopefully my daughters learn from my mistakes and not date people like their dad.” Cannon has five daughters and seven sons with six women, including twins Moroccan and Monroe, 14, with Mariah Carey, to whom he was married for six years. In March, Cannon told People that he was “pressing hold” on having any more children for the time being, though he wasn’t against the possibility of more in the future. Moroccan and Monroe are Cannon’s oldest children, while his youngest, daughter Halo Marie Cannon, was born in December 2022.

For decades, creatine has been a go-to supplement for gym rats and bodybuilders chasing strength gains. But recently, this powerhouse supplement is finally getting mainstream credit for a much broader range of benefits. One of the most well-researched supplements on the market, creatine does far more than support muscle mass. Emerging studies suggest it may also promote healthy aging, enhance cognitive performance, improve memory, and even support blood sugar balance—making it a smart addition for anyone looking to optimize overall wellness or weight management. No, it won’t make you bulk up overnight—and yes, it’s worth the hype. Of course, given the supplement’s surge in popularity, there are more creatine formulas to choose from than ever before.

Rescue crews clean up a truckload of hot dogs that spilled out of a tractor-trailer on August 1, 2025, along Interstate 83 in Shrewsbury, Pa. Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company
Traffic was fully stopped in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, on Friday morning after a truckload of weenies made a break for it on Interstate 83. Morning commuters were brought to a standstill after a meat-laden semitrailer scraped the central divider, sending a thousand pounds of errant hot dogs spilling across the road. Emergency crews, who were quickly on the scene, did not relish their cleanup job. “Once those leave the truck and hit the road, that’s all garbage, and it’s still pretty warm,” Shrewsbury Fire Company Chief Brad Dauberman told the Associated Press. The frankfurter fallout occured at around 9:15 a.m., closing both north and southbound lanes for approximately 5 miles. The road has since been reopened. Four people were treated at York Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The fire chief said his crew has taken some important lessons from the incident: “I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery,” Dauberman said. “I did not know that.”
No matter your skill level, having the right kitchenware makes cooking easier, safer, and more enjoyable. Milk Street Store offers a handpicked collection of high-quality cookware that elevates your time in the kitchen.
The Nakiri knife is thin, light, and looks like a mini cleaver. The blade is thoughtfully designed for precision and comfort. A curved butt gives fingers space to choke up on the grip for precise cuts, while the subtle file pattern on the surface keeps food from sticking. The broad blade shields your fingers as you cut, and the squared-off tip—rather than a pointed one—adds extra safety.
Most kitchens are missing a midsized utility knife. Enter the limited-edition Kitchin-kiji. It was crafted for those in-between tasks—slicing garlic, chopping mushrooms, or trimming meat—where a big chef’s knife feels like overkill, but a paring knife doesn’t cut it (pun intended). The knife has a non-stick hammered blade, durable wood handle, and a custom guard to keep it protected during storage.
A typical wok isn’t well suited for home cooking, but this one is. Instead of a round base, this wok’s broad base sits securely on top of any burner, heats evenly, and stays stable while you stir. It’s made with 16-gauge carbon steel that heats incredibly fast for lighting-quick stir-fries. You can also use it for sautés, steaming (it comes with a steam rack), blanching, boiling, and deep-frying.

NBA Star’s Pregnant Wife Hospitalized After Being Bitten by Shark
Eleanora Boi, the wife of former NBA player Danilo Gallinari, survived a scary encounter on Thursday when she was bitten by a shark. Boi, 39, was swimming at a beach in Carolina, Puerto Rico, when the encounter happened. The Italian sports journalist, who is currently pregnant with her third child, recently moved to the island with her athlete husband. Gallinari, 36, previously played for the Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder, is signed to the Puerto Rican basketball team Vaqueros de Bayamón for the 2025-26 season. The pair married in 2022 and already share daughter Anastasia, 4, and son Rodolfo, 2. Soon after the attack, Boi was transported to a local hospital with an open wound on her thigh. Luckily, she was recovering and in good spirits by Friday morning, when she took to Instagram to reflect on the shocking encounter. Though she described the experience as the “worst day of [her] life” and said her wound required surgery, Boi assured followers that she and her baby were both fine. “Little Mermaid from Sardinia: 1, Baby Shark from Puerto Rico: 0,” joked Boi, adding, “Shark will be hearing from my legals soon.”

Brandi Glanville has hit a long-awaited milestone in her struggle with facial disfigurement. Since 2023, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 52, has been navigating a sudden, unexplained condition that left her face swollen and paralyzed. Now, Glanville says she’s “finally getting answers” after visiting an infectious disease immunologist. “I cannot wait to get out of this house & LIVE,” wrote Glanville in a Wednesday X post. The mom-of-two, who frequently updates fans on her health via social media, told US Weekly in April that she’d spent over $100,000 seeking treatment. Glanville previously said her doctors believed the condition, which caused two of her teeth to fall out, was either a “stress-induced angioedema” or the result of a “parasite that jumps around.” Glanville even sought advice from a fellow reality star, plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow of Botched. Dubrow, 66, later said he believes Glanville may have an infection from a bad cosmetic injection. Though Glanville’s tweet did not elaborate on the status of her condition, she thanked her new doctor for “actually wanting to help me get better.” Glanville added that she can’t wait to “fix [her] teeth, put on 10 lbs, & make out with a hot boy or girl.”
I am so thankful to my NYC angel @DrScomaME_CFS for actually wanting to help me get better. I'm finally getting answers 🙏🙏🙏🙏 can't wait to live again (fix teeth, put on 10lbs, & make out with a hot boy or girl) I cannot wait to get out of this house & LIVE

Leonardo “Flaco” Jimenez, the Grammy-winning accordionist and pioneer of conjunto music, has died. He was 86. Jimenez’s family shared the news on Facebook Thursday night, writing, “He was surrounded by his loved ones and will be missed immensely.” Born in San Antonio in 1939, Jimenez was trained in the conjunto tradition by his father, Santiago, and rose to fame collaborating with musician Doug Sahm. With Sahm and fellow Texas rock icons Freddy Fender and Augie Meyers, Jimenez formed the Texas Tornados, whose Spanglish hits like the 1990 song “(Hey Baby) Que Paso?” helped bring national attention to conjunto music. Jimenez also enjoyed substantial success as a solo artist, earning six Grammy Awards, a National Heritage Fellowship, and a National Medal of the Arts. His fame continued to rise through collaborations with Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, Los Lobos, and more. His 1992 album Partners, which featured several of those collaborations,was added to the National Recording Registry in 2021. Though Jimenez’s family did not reveal his cause of death, he had suffered several illnesses in recent years and was hospitalized in January. He is survived by his children and his younger brother, fellow conjunto accordionist Santiago Jimenez Jr.

Filmmaker Nancy Meyers’ beloved 2006 Christmas rom-com, The Holiday, will soon be back on screen, and this time, in serialized form. However, Meyers does not seem to be included in the TV reboot, Deadline reports. Production studio Left Bank Pictures brought on Krissie Ducker (the lead writer of Sweetpea) as writer and executive producer and Rob Delaney (co-creator and co-star of Catastrophe), who will also write for the upcoming limited series. The Holiday follows two unhappily single women, one from Los Angeles and the other from London, who temporarily swap their houses and find love. The search is on for the lead actors, though they have a tough act to follow, as fans are attached to the original iconic star-studded cast, featuring Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, and Jack Black. The new series will be available to stream on Apple TV+, Deadline reports. The original movie earned over $200 million at the box office upon its release and has become a Christmas classic, although amusingly, Meyers claims she never intended it to be a Christmas movie.

Natural deodorant may not be the most exciting product in the self-care category, but for many of us, it’s a daily essential. But just because you’re looking for a natural deodorant that actually works doesn’t mean it has to smell like a generic body wash, and Humble Brands’ newest fragrance drop is proof. Humble Brands recently launched its newest scent, Sweet Amber, and it smells like a designer fragrance.
The Sweet Amber scent is Humble’s first aromatherapy product, partly inspired by the brand’s origins in Taos, New Mexico (known as a destination for healing). The amber used in the cruelty-free, aluminum-free deodorant is extracted from ancient, fossilized Himalayan tree resin and was crafted by Humble Brands’ in-house natural perfumer.
In addition to amber, the scent has bright, floral, and creamy sweet notes from jasmine and vanilla—similar to bestselling fragrances like Tom Ford, Le Labo, and Byredo. It also has hints of Nagarmotha, patchouli, and cedarwood, giving it a sweet yet smoky finish. Plus, unlike some perfume and body mists, this deodorant is not overpowering and has a long-lasting yet subtle projection.
The key ingredients in Humble Brands’ aluminum-free deodorant range (including its new scent) are corn starch, baking soda, MCT oil, and beeswax—no aluminum or weird chemicals. The cornstarch naturally helps to absorb sweat, while the baking soda neutralizes odor. The beeswax and MCT oil help soothe the skin by locking in moisture, so it’s great for those with sensitive and dry skin. The best part? All Humble Brands products benefit the non-profit organization,1% for the Planet, so you’ll be investing in a new self-care treat that’s good for yourself and the environment.

Mom Freaks Out After Son, 6, Attacked by Octopus at Aquarium
Mom Freaks Out After Son, 6, Attacked By Octopus in Aquarium TiKTok
A furious mother has criticized aquarium staff for not doing enough to help after her six-year-old son was attacked by an octopus at a petting zoo. Britney Taryn went viral on TikTok following a visit to the San Antonio Aquarium on July 14, which saw an octopus latch onto her son’s hand and refuse to let go, leaving him with severe bruises. “The octopus started to come out, up over the glass. My friend and I were not sure what to do. There’s no employees around so we started yelling for help,” she told local outlet KSAT after the fact. “The employee came up and just said, ‘Oh, she’s super playful today.’ And then he could not get the octopus off.” The worker eventually had to call two additional colleagues over for support as the gravity of the situation set in, and the three of them spent the next five minutes prying the tentacles off the young boy’s arm, leaving him hurt and shaken. Taryn later filed a complaint with the United States Department of Agriculture claiming “employees on-site downplayed the incident,” and that her son could have been bitten by the creature’s poisonous beak. “I’m just worried something worse is going to happen… I don’t want anything to happen to any more kids, any adults,” she told KSAT, before adding that she hopes nothing happens to the octopus either.
My son has visited the same octopus every week for 3 years. She always loved him until today, when she tried to pull him into the tank. It took 3 aquarium employees to get her off. Was it affection? Recognition? Or something more dangerous? We thought it was a sweet animal bond… until it left bruises. And when we walked back later, she changed color the second she saw him. 🎥 Watch til the end. 💬 Tell me: Was this love or a warning sign? 🧠 Octopus experts, weigh in. #Octopus#AquariumStory#AnimalBondGoneWrong#OctopusBehavior#SeaLife#AnimalInstinct#MarineBiology#ParentingTikTok
Australian scientists have just discovered a new species of giant stick insect and it’s… well, really big. Dubbed Acrophylla alta, the alien-looking bug can apparently measure up to 15 inches long and weigh in at roughly the same as a golf ball. Researchers at North Queensland’s James Cook University, which was responsible for the recent find, say the insect has probably gone undiscovered for so long because of its remote and hard-to-access habitat. “It’s restricted to a small area of high-altitude rainforest, and it lives high in the canopy,” professor Angus Emmott said in a statement released by the university. “So unless you get a cyclone or a bird bringing one down, very few people get to see them.” He added that while there are longer stick insects to be found across the country, with some measuring in at up to two feet, Acrophylla alta would appear to be the heaviest known to date. “Their body mass likely helps them survive the colder conditions, and that’s why they’ve developed into this large insect over millions of years,” Emmott said.
