A solo rower has been pulled from the water 1,000 miles from land after being capsized by “rogue waves” in 15-foot swells. Belgian 47-year-old Benoit Bourguet was competing in the World’s Toughest Row Race in the Atlantic when things were turned upside down, forcing him to ditch into his life raft on Wednesday night. He was rescued off the east coast of Puerto Rico by the Coast Guard Sector San Juan Command Center Watchstanders and the crew of the Horten Liberian-flagged tanker ship, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement. “Watchstanders were able to contact World’s Toughest Row Race Safety Coordinator, who confirmed they had not been able to contact Bourguet after numerous messages had gone unanswered,” the Coast Guard’s statement said. He was pulled from the water in good health, having kept hold of his boat, City of Liverpool. Bourguet was competing in the “3,000-mile rowing race from San Sebastian de la Gomera, Spain, to Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua,” the statement added.

Actor Donald Douglas died on Wednesday of an unidentified illness. He was 92. According to the Daily Mail, the Scottish actor died in a French hospital while surrounded by his family. He leaves behind his wife, three children, and five grandchildren. Douglas was a mainstay of British cinema and television, known for his roles in Doctor Who, Poldark, and, of course, his best-known role as Admiral Darcy in the rom-com Bridget Jones’ Diary. He received his acting education at the Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. His friends told the story of who he was offstage. A friend, Meredith Wheeler, said on her YouTube channel that “He had an impish sense of humour and a generous heart.” Fellow actor Toby Hadoke kindly quipped, “What an actor. Always brought a bit of heft and a touch of class to his roles which is I guess why his CV brimmed with illustrious fare.”

Former NFL player Taylor Symmank, 33, who had brief stints with the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, shared a heartbreaking tribute to his daughter. In a joint Instagram post this week, his wife, Nicole Faith, shared she was eight months pregnant with their daughter, Sunny, when she was admitted to the hospital on Jan. 1. Three days later, the couple revealed their daughter was stillborn. “I delivered our daughter into the arms of Jesus,” Faith wrote, describing the devastating loss. The couple said the pain was impossible to bear, adding, “I wish I could soften the words to make them palatable, but I cannot dull this heartache.” The couple who have been married since 2024 said they are still searching for answers. “We don’t understand why this has happened, medically or spiritually, and we may never,” they wrote, while noting they have felt comforted by their faith amid the grief. The couple said they “yearn” for their daughter and “would do anything to hold her again.” They closed the post thanking family, friends, and supporters who surrounded them during the three-day ordeal, offering prayers, meals, and companionship.

Actor Rudy Youngblood, best known for his role in Mel Gibson’s Oscar-nominated film Apocalypto, was arrested Thursday in Texas on a substance charge, according to TMZ. Authorities arrested the 43-year-old on a warrant issued on Wednesday in Bell County. Officials booked him into the Henderson County jail on a charge of possession of a controlled substance between one and four grams, a felony offense. The charge carries a potential penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. He remained in custody as of Friday morning. Youngblood has had previous encounters with law enforcement. In October 2025, he was arrested on an assault charge involving an alleged attack on a family or household member, according to TMZ. Authorities previously arrested him for disorderly intoxication in Miami in 2017, though prosecutors later dropped the case. In a 2013 interview with A&U magazine, Youngblood said he had struggled with substance use, describing addiction as a “disease” that altered perception.

Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel revealed in a social media post that she had been diagnosed with stage two chronic kidney disease. “I have a medical announcement, not because I want you to worry, but because I want you to take precautions in your own life,” Frankel told her Instagram followers on Thursday before explaining that she had been diagnosed by a specialist earlier in the day after some blood tests raised concerns. Frankel added that the doctor told her it could be the result of an autoimmune condition or a traumatic experience she had years ago involving a near-fatal allergic attack, but also noted that she doesn’t drink much water. She said that in the future she would have to make some changes, including avoiding ibuprofen, turmeric, and ice cream, and drinking significantly more water. “It’s important to go and get your blood all of your blood work done, all of it, be thorough and then do the follow-ups for anything that seems like an outlier,” the 55-year-old told her followers. The former Housewife has had a tumultuous start to the year, having returned early from a New Year’s getaway to St Barts with a bacterial infection on her face.

Actress and model Jaime King is headed for a surprise divorce after her husband, Austin Sosa, filed to end their marriage on Thursday, according to TMZ. The filing followed reports that the couple married in a secret ceremony, though their engagement had been reported last summer. It remains unclear when they officially wed. News outlets reported in July 2025 that King, 46, and Sosa, an investment banker, were engaged. At the time, King’s representative said, “Jaime is embracing a joyful new chapter with her engagement to Austin Sosa,” adding that her sons “remain her top priority.” The White Chicks star, shares two sons, James, 12, and Leo, 10, with her ex-husband, Kyle Newman. Leo is the godson of pop star Taylor Swift. King filed for divorce from Newman in May 2020, and the split was finalized in September 2023. In March 2025, Newman was granted sole physical custody of their children, after King failed to complete a drug and alcohol rehab program. The new divorce filing came weeks after reports that King was seen in Los Angeles getting cozy with hotelier Vikram Chatwal, 54.

Renee Good was shot in the breast, arm, and near her left temple, according to autopsy details revealed by her family attorneys. An independent postmortem commissioned by law firm Romanucci and Blandin found that the wounds to Good’s left forearm and right breast were not life-threatening, but the shot that entered her head killed her. The autopsy was described as “preliminary.” Video of the incident shows ICE agent Jonathan Ross firing multiple bullets at Good from the front and side of her car. The DHS and administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have attempted to claim that Good was a “domestic terrorist” who was trying to run Ross over. However, video from the scene shows Good turning away from hitting Ross as another ICE agent wrestled with her car door. The killing triggered mass ICE protests in Minneapolis, and tensions have simmered as administration and local officials put out competing narratives about protests and immigration in Minnesota. Vance appeared in the state on Thursday to try to downplay alarming stories about ICE’s activity in the state.

The FBI is investigating the suspicious circumstances surrounding former Colts owner Jim Irsay’s death in May. Investigators subpoenaed information regarding Irsay’s drug use and about his doctor, Harry Haroutunian. Haroutunian has been under new scrutiny after a Washington Post report that found that Irsay had relapsed in the months before he died suddenly at 65. Haroutunian is famous for having a Rolodex of celebrity clients that he has reportedly helped through addiction, including Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. Irsay’s death was initially said to have been because of a cardiac arrest stemming from pneumonia and existing heart issues. The sports mogul had a history of addiction that was revealed publicly in 2014 after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated and with prescription drugs in his possession. His most severe relapse occurred in December 2023. The Washington Post found that Haroutunian had then provided him with allegedly excessive prescriptions of opioid pills and ketamine injections. The Post also found that the addiction doctor had provided similar drugs, at comparable dosages, to Irsay before he died in 2025. Haroutunian has denied any wrongdoing, telling the Washington Post, “I dedicated 18 months of my life to try to care for him… as a brother.”

Outdoor clothing brand Patagonia has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against a drag performer named Pattie Gonia. The lawsuit alleges that the performer, whose given name is Wyn Wiley, uses the name Pattie Gonia in a way that could cause customer confusion. “Today Patagonia filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the entrepreneur, drag queen, and activist Pattie Gonia,“ the company wrote in a statement. ”While we wish we didn’t have to do this – and actively engaged with Pattie for several years to avoid this – it has become necessary to protect the brand we have spent the last 50 years building." Patagonia said it believed it had reached an agreement with Pattie Gonia, who uses she/they pronouns when in drag, to keep her from “infringing on our trademarks.” The company said the performer broke the agreement in late 2024, when they started selling Pattie Gonia clothing and merchandise, and refused to respect their initial agreement. “Pattie Gonia’s use of a near-copy of our name commercially – including as a brand for environmental advocacy – and her trademark application seeking to obtain the exclusive right to use that name going forward, pose long-term threats to Patagonia’s brand and our activism," the statement read. A rep for Wiley did not immediately return a request for comment.
