A Scandinavian Airlines flight had to return to its airport of origin after a rodent was spotted on board. Flight 1583 was over Belgium en route to Málaga, Spain, from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Sweden, when it made a U-turn and returned to the Swedish capital. The Airbus A320neo took off on Feb. 7 but, nearly two hours into its journey, turned around and headed back, landing again nearly three and a half hours after its original departure. The plane had to return “after a suspected rodent sighting on board,” a Scandinavian spokesperson told Business Insider. “We followed established procedures and, as a precaution, returned the aircraft to Arlanda to carry out standard inspections of both the aircraft and relevant suppliers. Passengers were boarded on a new aircraft to Malaga shortly after.” Rodents can gnaw through wiring and cables on board airplanes. A second flight finally arrived five hours after it was meant to land in the Costa del Sol.

Paramount Skydance has been given another chance by Warner Bros. Discovery to present its “best and final” offer in a long-running hostile takeover battle. The company now has until February 23 to submit an improved bid. However, Warner Bros. chair Samuel DiPiazza Jr. and chief executive David Zaslav emphasized that reopening talks does not mean the board has determined “that your proposal is reasonably likely to result in a transaction that is superior to the Netflix merger.” The standoff to acquire Warner Bros. intensified in December, when Netflix announced it had secured the winning $72 billion bid. Paramount CEO David Ellison then advanced a hostile, all-cash offer to outbid the streaming giant. Warner Bros. executives have rejected Ellison’s proposal multiple times, arguing that the terms of the Netflix merger are superior—even though the Ellison bid offered $30 per share, a higher price than Netflix’s. The dispute has since escalated into legal action, with Ellison suing the media company over the decision. A senior Paramount representative allegedly indicated the company would raise its existing $30-a-share offer by $1 if talks were reopened, and the Warner Bros. board secured a waiver from Netflix to engage with a rival bidder, while allowing Netflix the right to improve its own bid if Ellison submits a higher offer.

Find out what all of the hype is about during Womanizer’s limited-time sale.

Embattled Senator Mark Kelly is “seriously” considering running for president. The Arizona lawmaker has been in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump’s administration since last year, particularly Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, after he and five other senators released a video telling troops they didn’t have to follow illegal orders. Hegseth launched a crusade to demote him, but the case was dismissed in court in February. Now the former astronaut thinks he could offer something different from other candidates in 2028. “We are in some seriously challenging times right now,” he told the BBC. “I don’t know if I would be the best person in this job. I am a lot different than most of these other 100 senators.” He continued, “I’m one of the very few engineers; I’m the only person with a graduate degree in engineering in the United States Senate. I’ve got combat experience, that’s kind of rare. I spent 25 years in the military,” he said. “I didn’t start out in some state legislature somewhere. I don’t think of myself as a politician.” He added that it was a “serious decision. I just haven’t made it yet.”

Chicago Fire star Brittany Curran has been arrested for public intoxication, TMZ reported. Curran plays Katie Nolan, Kelly Severide‘s half-sister, in seasons two and seven of the NBC show. The Burbank Police Department said the 35-year-old actress arrived at its station displaying what officers described as clear signs of alcohol impairment. Authorities alleged she was unable to respond to simple questions, could not explain how she got there, and appeared incapable of looking after her own well-being, TMZ reported. Curran was subsequently arrested and booked in Burbank on suspicion of public intoxication and disorderly conduct. Beyond her stint on Chicago Fire, the actress has also appeared in 13 Going On 30 and the Syfy fantasy series The Magicians. The Daily Beast has contacted Burbank Police Department and representatives of Curran for comment.

Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested at Mardi Gras after a physical confrontation with other attendees. The star was kicked out of a New Orleans bar, after which he proceeded to get into a fight in front of the venue. Video captured at the scene after the altercation shows a shirtless LaBeouf arguing with an unknown man in a leather jacket. Paramedics were called to the scene to treat LaBeouf’s injuries, and he was then taken away by ambulance. The Transformers actor wasn’t arrested on the scene, but was later charged with two counts of simple battery, according to records analyzed by TMZ. The embattled former child actor has been open about his struggles with sobriety and has been arrested previously for similar behavior. In 2017, he was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct. LaBeouf also recently settled an assault case with his ex-girlfriend, singer FKA Twigs, in which she alleged he sexually and physically abused her. While the charges were dropped, LaBeouf said about FKA Twigs, “I hurt that woman, and in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.”

A high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, turned into a horror scene Monday afternoon when a parent opened fire at the arena, killing two people before taking their own life. Police identified the shooter as Robert Dorgan, 56, who also went by Roberta, according to WPRI. The violence erupted during a senior night matchup between Blackstone Valley and Coventry/Johnston at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena. A woman believed to be the player’s mother was killed at the scene, while a second victim—identified as a player’s sibling—died later at the hospital. Three more people—a family friend and two relatives—were shot and remain in critical condition, according to the outlet. Authorities have described the shooting as a “targeted event” tied to a family dispute, not a random act of violence. Court records reviewed by WPRI point to a history of domestic incidents involving Dorgan, including disputes related to gender identity. In the aftermath, officials said the city is working with local partners to provide counseling and mental health support to those affected by the shooting.

Norwegian skier Atle Lie McGrath has opened up after walking off into the woods following a crushing Olympic mistake that cost him a medal in northern Italy. McGrath led after the first run and appeared poised for gold, holding a 0.59-second advantage over Switzerland’s Loic Meillard. But 15 seconds into his second run, he straddled a gate and was eliminated. He threw his poles aside, removed his skis, and stormed away from the course, disappearing toward the tree line. He later explained he “just needed to get away from everything.” “I thought I would get some peace and quiet, which I didn’t because photographers and police found me out in the woods,” he told the Olympic media service. “I just needed some time for myself.” The disappointment was compounded by personal grief. McGrath’s grandfather, Svein Lie, died at the start of the Games. “I skied so great and I still couldn’t get it done, so that’s what really hurts,” he said. “Sports-wise, it’s the worst. It’s not the worst moment of my life, but it’s the worst moment of my career, and it’s been one of the toughest moments of my life with everything that’s been going on.”

Songwriter Billy Steinberg, widely regarded as one of the best songwriters of the ’80s and ’90s, died on Monday after a long battle with cancer. He was 75. Alongside his songwriting partner Tom Kelly, Steinberg was responsible for hits such as Madonna’s “Like A Virgin,” “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper, “Alone” by Heart, and “Eternal Flame” by the Bangles. Following Kelly’s retirement in the ’90s, Steinberg continued to write, producing songs like “Too Little Too Late” by JoJo and “Give Your Heart a Break” by Demi Lovato. He and Kelly were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011. In a 2004 interview, he said of his partnership with Kelly, “I would always be with him when we would write the songs, and sometimes I would have some input into the chords and the melodies. But he would do the majority of those things. Over the ’80s it just became clear to me that I was primarily a lyricist.” He is survived by his wife, Trina, his sons Ezra and Max, his sisters Barbara and Mary, and his stepchildren Raul and Carolina.

Authorities on Monday gave two updates on the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie. First, Guthrie’s family—which includes “all siblings and spouses”—have been ruled out as suspects, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Monday. “The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.” Secondly, Nanos told CBS News that investigators have reason to believe that the suspect’s clothing and mask, as seen in doorbell footage from the morning of Guthrie’s disappearance, were bought from Walmart. The black Ozark Trail Hiker backpack belonging to the suspect was sold exclusively at that store, CBS News also reported. Walmart has been pulling online and in-store sales records for that item, and police are reviewing security footage. The FBI provided a bit more detail about the suspect last week: “a male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10″ tall, with an average build." DNA testing on a black glove found near Guthrie’s home is underway. Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home on Feb. 1.

Critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman has died at 96. His family and distribution company, Zipporah Films, confirmed his death in a joint statement on Monday, reflecting on Wiseman’s impact on the film world. A cause of death has not been publicly disclosed. In a tribute, the company hailed Wiseman’s decades-long career, writing that he created “an unparalleled body of work” that served as a sweeping record of social institutions and everyday life, primarily in the United States and France. In a career spanning nearly six decades, Wiseman became known for his unflinching, observational style, turning his lens on institutions many take for granted. His most notable films include High School (1968), Welfare (1975), Public Housing (1997), and Domestic Violence (2002). Wiseman directed and produced more than 45 films through his company, earning widespread critical acclaim and multiple Emmy Awards, including for Law and Order (1969) and Hospital (1970). He was awarded an honorary Oscar at the 2016 Governors Awards. His final film, Menus-Plaisirs — Les Troisgros (2023), offered an intimate, four-hour look inside a three-Michelin-star French restaurant and the family behind it. Wiseman leaves behind his wife, Zipporah, two sons, David and Eric, and three grandchildren.
