A fire erupted on Wednesday morning at Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic Park velodrome, sending thick smoke over the former 2016 Games venue and triggering a major emergency response. Authorities said around 80 firefighters and 20 vehicles were dispatched to battle the blaze, which was largely contained to the structure’s fabric roof. Dramatic video footage showed flames tearing across the venue’s roof. Officials said the fire was brought under control and that there were no reported injuries. The interior of the building—including the Olympic Museum—was not damaged, according to the Rio state military fire department. Investigators are still working to determine what caused the blaze, but the venue has seen similar incidents before. Two separate roof fires were reported there in 2017, both linked to paper sky lanterns. Built for the 2016 Rio Olympics, the velodrome hosted track cycling events during the Games and has since been used as a training base for Brazil’s national cycling and weightlifting teams.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, 50, and the Athletic’s senior NFL insider Dianna Russini, 43, were photographed getting unusually close during a luxury getaway in Arizona, according to photos obtained by Page Six. The pair was spotted on March 28 at the Ambiente resort in Sedona, where they were seen holding hands and embracing against the backdrop of the red rock mountains. Both are married—Vrabel for 27 years and Russini for 5 years. According to the outlet, the two spent much of the day together, starting with breakfast at the hotel restaurant before heading to the pool, where they lounged side by side and relaxed in a hot tub for roughly an hour. Their time together reportedly continued into the evening, when they were seen at the resort’s private rooftop bungalows, which can cost more than $2,000 a night. Vrabel and Russini told Page Six they were hanging out with a larger group. But multiple eyewitnesses told the outlet they only saw the two of them together throughout their stay. The Daily Beast has reached out to Russini and Vrabel for comment.

Dogs give everything—their loyalty, their energy, their whole hearts. The least they deserve in return are bodies that keep up with them. Whether painful joints, sensitive stomachs, or stress, Wuffes has veterinarian-approved formulas designed to help with your dog’s ailments. The daily soft chews can be easily integrated into any routine, so taking the best care of your dog isn’t complicated.

As dogs age, their joints naturally lose lubrication. That loss may show up as hesitation before a jump, a slower rise from a nap, or walks that get a little slower each week. Wuffes Hip & Joint Chews target that decline directly, using healthy joint-supporting ingredients like glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and green lipped mussel.

At least 20 thrill seekers in Australia are safe after being stranded atop a rollercoaster in brutal 80-plus-degree heat on Wednesday. The DC Rivals HyperCoaster at Warner Bros. Movie World in Queensland stopped unexpectedly after climbing more than 150 feet in the air. The ride, considered the highest in the southern hemisphere, was just about to enter a thrilling drop when the wheels halted. The malfunction, believed to be connected to a faulty sensor, forced staff at the park to launch an immediate rescue operation. Because temperatures were peaking in the midday heat, the passengers received umbrellas to shield them from the sun as they climbed, one by one, down the rollercoaster. “At all times throughout the stoppage, the guests on board were safe and our team were in constant communication with them,” an official at the park said, adding that the stoppages are “proof rides systems and operators are doing as they are designed and trained to do to keep our guests safe.” The rescue operation took more than two hours. This is just the latest dramatic rescue from a malfunctioning fair ride. Just a few weeks ago, several children were retrieved by forklift from a broken ride in Wales.

Daniil Medvedev lost his cool on Wednesday, smashing his racket repeatedly before dumping the remains into a courtside trash bin during a crushing defeat at the Monte Carlo Masters. The world No. 10 suffered a stunning 6-0, 6-0 loss to Italian wildcard Matteo Berrettini—a “double bagel” defeat that marked the first time in Medvedev’s career he failed to win a single game at tour level. Medvedev hit 28 unforced errors, five double faults, and won just 17 of 67 points in the 49-minute match. Former Wimbledon finalist Berrettini, ranked No. 90, said the match was “one of the best performances of my life.” He added: “I think I missed three shots in the entire match and it is not easy against a tricky player like Daniil. The game plan was perfect and my weapons were working.” Berrettini is set to play against Brazilian tennis star Joao Fonseca next.

Tori Spelling is thanking her “guardian angels” after a terrifying car crash just outside Los Angeles left her and seven children hospitalized. In an Instagram video on Tuesday, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum said the incident on April 2 had been “really overwhelming.” The actress had been driving four of her children and three of their friends in Temecula when the crash occurred. Spelling and the seven children were hospitalized and treated for injuries, including cuts, bruises, contusions, and concussions. “We’re okay,” she said in an emotional update. Spelling alleged the other driver was “speeding” and “went through a light,” describing a split-second decision she made to protect the children in the car. “I turned hard left as hard as I could as fast as I could to avoid as much impact on the children as possible. He spun us out,” she claimed. Spelling said she is “so grateful and lucky because it could have been so much worse.” In her video caption, she thanked “all the first responders” and those who had reached out, adding: “Grateful… to our guardian angels.”

A man who broke into the enclosure of viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng last month has been fined 10,000 baht (about $300) by a Thai court. Narongwit Chodchoy, director of Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo, told AFP on Wednesday that the man was found guilty of trespassing. Security footage showed the man—wearing a beanie, sunglasses, and a tank top—wandering into the enclosure and filming Moo Deng on a tablet as he approached her and her mother. He lingered for roughly a minute before staff stepped in and called police. He was later arrested and charged with trespassing. Zoo officials said Moo Deng, an endangered pygmy hippo who shot to global fame in 2024, was unharmed but “slightly startled.” “No one can violate animals’ rights, no matter whether they are in an enclosure or in the wild,” Narongwit said. The zoo ramped up security following the incident. “We learned from this lesson and will not allow it to happen again—not to Moo Deng and not to other animals in the zoo,” the zoo’s director added.

A Cape Air flight was forced to return to Nantucket Memorial Airport after part of the cabin door came open shortly after takeoff. The airline said the upper section of the main cabin door opened in flight, prompting the crew to turn the aircraft around as a precaution. Cape Air said the plane remained stable and continued to operate normally before landing safely back on the island on Monday. No injuries were reported. A video shared on Instagram appeared to show the top portion of the door ajar midair, with the sky and ocean visible through the gap as passengers sat nearby inside the small plane. Cape Air said the aircraft has since been removed from service for inspection and evaluation. The airline added that it is following standard safety procedures and will take any further action deemed necessary after reviewing the incident. Vacation hot spot Nantucket, located about 30 miles off the Massachusetts coast, is primarily reached by air or ferry.

The Massachusetts House of Representatives is set to vote on April 8 on a bill dubbed the “most restrictive” social media ban in the country. If passed, starting October 1, anyone under 14 would be completely restricted from accessing social media, while 14- and 15-year-olds would require verifiable parental consent to do so. “The simple reality is that Massachusetts must do more to ensure that our laws keep pace with modern challenges,” House Speaker Ron Mariano and Ways and Means Chair Aaron Michlewitz said in a joint statement. The onus would be on social media companies to implement age-verification technology. A similar law was passed in Florida in 2024, but has faced a series of legal challenges for alleged First Amendment violations—an issue the Massachusetts legislators are not too concerned about. “We know that there could be some potential legal challenges. We think it’s the right thing to do, we think we’re on solid ground,” Michlewitz said. The bill is likely to be signed into law if passed in the House, as Governor Maura Healey has previously spoken positively about mandatory age verification on social media platforms.

If you’ve ever worn compression socks on a flight (or on land), you know the trade-off: they may help boost circulation and keep swelling at bay, but they’re not exactly comfortable. After testing Paire’s bestselling BreezeBlend Compression Socks, I’m happy to report that you no longer have to choose.

I’m already a fan of Paire’s ultra-soft basics, but these socks are my new favorite. Designed to boost circulation, reduce swelling, and fight fatigue, the travel-friendly compression socks deliver all the benefits of traditional compression socks without the overly-tight, suffocating feel. Unlike other pairs I’ve tried, these don’t feel like they’re cutting off your circulation—in fact, they feel like a pair of cashmere lounge socks. The best part, though, is that they’re designed with anti-bacterial fabric to keep odors and moisture at bay.

The unparalleled comfort, odor control, and performance come down to the sock’s unique and sustainably sourced materials: a blend of merino wool and eucalyptus fiber. While I haven’t tested them in the air just yet, I’ve been wearing them on daily walks and runs, and the moisture-wicking performance is downright impressive.

Plus, the 90-degree angle design keeps them locked in place, so I don’t have to deal with mid-stride tugging. The travel compression socks are a class 1 compression level (15–20 mmHg), which means they offer noticeable support without feeling overly restrictive. They’re an ideal entry point for compression sock skeptics—or anyone ready to retire their stiff, clinical pairs for something that actually feels good to wear.

NASA’s Artemis II astronauts are heading back to Earth—with thousands of striking new images from a history-making trip around the moon. The crew aboard the Orion spacecraft came within roughly 4,067 miles of the lunar surface during a seven-hour flyby, capturing about 10,000 photos along the way, according to NASA. Working in shifts, the astronauts documented the “Earthset”—the inverse of a sunrise—while also witnessing a solar eclipse as the moon briefly blocked out the sun, leaving its outer atmosphere glowing. The team used the record-breaking pass to identify and name features across the moon’s cratered surface, part of a broader effort to map terrain ahead of future missions. Some of those names carried personal weight: one crater was named after the Orion spacecraft, while another honored Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, who died in 2020 after battling cancer. The images are expected to help scientists deepen their understanding of the moon as NASA works toward its long-term goal of returning humans to its surface.

One of Donald Trump’s billionaire backers just made an eye-watering bid to purchase the music label behind one of the president’s fiercest critics in the industry. Bill Ackman, an activist investor who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republican-aligned PACs during the 2024 election cycle, is looking to purchase Universal Music Group to the cool tune of $64 billion. The label includes among its roster of artists Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper who has consistently sparred with Trump over his administration’s immigration crackdown, and whose appearance at this year’s Super Bowl sparked something of a meltdown among the MAGA base. Other artists signed to the label include known Trump critics like Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Coldplay, along with other iconic household names like The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Elton John. Universal has an established reputation as one of the “big three” labels, alongside Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group, and boasts a more than 30 percent share of the global records business.
