Over 10,000 flights were canceled on Sunday due to a winter storm affecting more than half of the U.S. population. With 37 states under winter weather alerts and snow spreading from the southern Rocky Mountains to New England, airports across the U.S. have experienced what is reportedly the highest number of flight cancellations since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Associated Press reported that by midday, over 90 percent of flights were canceled at Philadelphia International Airport and New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport announced on social media that it had canceled all flights. Meanwhile, ABC News reported that more than 900,000 customers across the U.S. are without power. According to FlightAware, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines each reported over 1,000 cancellations, while United Airlines had about 900, and JetBlue had more than 570 canceled flights. The NWS Weather Prediction Center said in a statement that individuals in affected regions should avoid travel and warned that disruptions are expected to last for “several days” following the storm.

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has opened up about her experience with cancer while urging women to keep up with their pap smear appointments. In a TikTok video posted Wednesday that runs over nine minutes, the 38-year-old revealed that she had been experiencing “abnormal results,” and after “pre-cancerous cells” were suspected on her cervix, a doctor recommended a colposcopy. During the procedure, a tissue sample was taken for biopsy, which revealed cancerous cells on the surface of her cervix. “I’m terrified,” Polizzi said, revealing that her next step is a cone biopsy—and if the results are “not great,” she may need a hysterectomy. “As a woman, the thought of getting a hysterectomy is sad, and it’s scary,” the TV personality said, breaking down in tears. Polizzi, who shares three children with her husband Jionni LaValle, 38, said that although she doesn’t plan on having more kids, the thought of having a hysterectomy was “killing” her. “Everyone’s there to make sure I’m okay,” Polizzi added, highlighting that she feels optimistic she will get healthy and wants to be there" for the kids that I have now."

Famed rock climber Alex Honnold completed the tallest “free solo” climb of an urban structure in history on Saturday. The 39-year-old star of the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, clambered to the top of Taiwan’s Taipei 101 tower without ropes, harness, or other safety gear in a death-defying stunt livestreamed by Netflix. Honnold made it to the summit of the 1,667-foot steel and glass structure in one hour, 31 minutes, and 40 seconds. The tallest skyscraper in Asia offered only smooth surfaces, which the elite climber had to overcome by angling his body to get a firm grip on the building. The live sporting event was supposed to run on Friday, but was called off just 30 minutes before start time due to rainy conditions. While it was unlikely the star climber would have fallen, the streaming giant ran the event on a 10-second delay, just in case. “I’m sure viewers will probably be on edge watching this,” Honnold said ahead of the climb. “But I hope that viewers get a little bit of my joy from the experience.” When he reached the top of Taipei 101’s spire, Honnold took a selfie before rappelling down to celebrate with his wife, Sanni McCandless.

Rod Stewart, 81, is firing back at his former neighbor, Donald Trump, after the president made dismissive remarks about NATO troops who fought in Afghanistan. Trump’s comments came during a Thursday appearance on Fox News, where he claimed the U.S. had “never needed” NATO and suggested allied troops avoided frontline combat. The remarks referred to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, which lasted nearly 20 years and resulted in the deaths of 457 UK troops. Troops from other allied nations, including Canada, France, and Germany, also died during the war. Trump’s comments enraged Stewart, who responded with a video posted to Instagram calling Trump a “draft dodger.” Speaking directly to the camera, Stewart said the remarks showed a lack of respect for soldiers who “fought and gave us our freedom.” He continued his impassioned speech, saying, “We lost over 400 of our guys,” urging Trump to consider the families of those killed. “Think of their parents, think about it, when Trump calls them almost like cowards. It’s unbearable,” Stewart continued. He concluded by calling on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Trump ally Nigel Farage to demand an apology from the president.

The killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, 43, during a protest in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, has been ruled a homicide, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. In a preliminary disclosure released Thursday, the medical examiner determined the mother of three was shot multiple times and classified her manner of death as homicide. The designation means her death occurred at the hands of another person and does not, by itself, indicate criminal culpability. In a statement to People on Friday, Good’s attorney, Antonio Romanucci, acknowledged the release of the preliminary findings but said the family is still awaiting the full autopsy report. “We are aware of the release of basic information by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner acknowledging the death of Renee Good as a homicide,” Romanucci said, adding that the family hopes to receive the complete report before any additional public disclosures are made. The investigation into Good’s death remains ongoing.

Airport travelers at Detroit Metro Airport were stunned this week when a car plowed straight into a terminal entrance near a Delta ticket counter. Video captured by bystanders shows a black sedan crashing into the terminal before the driver exited the vehicle, raising his hands and shouting incoherently. The unidentified man, who was wearing a Detroit Lions jersey, was quickly surrounded by law enforcement and TSA officers and taken into custody. “The response was so quick, thank God, with the cops and TSA and everybody,” one witness told the New York Post. Airport officials told WDIV that they were “gathering information” and would provide updates as the investigation continues. Despite the dramatic scene, officials said there were no serious injuries. According to CBS News, six people were evaluated at the scene, but none required hospitalization. The Wayne County Airport Authority Police Department confirmed that the driver remains in custody and that the cause of the crash remains unknown, according to the outlet.

The NBA has postponed the Minnesota Timberwolves’ home game against the Golden State Warriors at Target Center after another fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. The league announced the decision Saturday afternoon, saying it was made “to prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community.” The game, originally scheduled for Saturday, has been rescheduled for Sunday at 5:30 p.m. The postponement followed the death of 37-year-old Veterans Affairs ICU nurse and U.S. citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal agents Saturday morning about two miles from the Target Center. Pretti’s death comes amid weeks of escalating protests across the Twin Cities that began earlier this month after ICE agent Jonathan Ross, 43, fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, on Jan 7. Pretti’s killing is the second fatal incident in the city this month involving federal officers. Another man was shot in the leg by federal agents on Jan. 14. The shootings have intensified anti-ICE protests and unrest as residents continue to demonstrate against the influx of thousands of federal agents in Minneapolis.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents are worried that ice, the frozen water substance, will reflect poorly on ICE, the masked, armed subjects of mass protests, during the ongoing winter storm affecting large parts of the United States. In an effort to avoid negative semantic association, the Department of Homeland Security has reportedly asked Federal Emergency Management Agency staffers to limit their use of the term “ice” in messaging around the storm. “What they are worried about here is that by posting something like ‘Watch out for the ice,’ it’s going to become an opportunity for a meme, for internet fodder, for public ridicule against the department,” CNN correspondent Gabe Cohen said. Instead, DHS would prefer FEMA use the term “freezing rain” when discussing the catastrophic winter storm that threatens millions of Americans. At present, at least 18 states have declared a state of emergency as heavy snow, ice (a.k.a. “freezing rain”), and extreme cold descend on roughly two-thirds of the U.S. population. “They’re afraid of memes, meanwhile lives are on the line,” CNN anchor Jake Tapper added. “Another incredibly idiotic story.”

A feud on The Traitors has spilled off-screen with Lisa Rinna publicly branding her co-star, Colton Underwood, a “stalker” after learning about his past legal troubles. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star fired off the remark on Threads after a fan mocked Underwood for accusing Rinna of betrayal on the Peacock reality series. When the fan joked about Underwood going up against Rinna, she shot back: “Let’s talk about you being a stalker...” The comment appeared to reference a restraining order Underwood’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, sought against him in 2020. Randolph accused Underwood of stalking and harassment following their breakup, including sending “unsettling” messages and allegedly placing a tracking device on her car. A judge granted a temporary restraining order, ordering Underwood to stay away from her. Randolph later dropped the request, saying the two had reached a private agreement. Underwood denied wrongdoing at the time, calling the matter resolved. Rinna appeared newly aware of the allegations—reacting with visible shock in recent social media comments as the old allegations resurfaced.

Champion rock climber Alex Honnold has been told he will have to wait to climb one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world without any safety gear—due to safety concerns. The 40-year-old Californian was scheduled to ascend Asia’s tallest building, Taipei 101, without ropes or a harness, for Netflix’s Skyscraper Live event on Friday. However, 30 minutes before the live event was set to begin, it was postponed until Saturday, due to dangerously rainy conditions. “We’re confident we’re gonna have a great show here—we just need the weather to be kind,” said Grant Mansfield, CEO of Plimsoll Productions, who is producing the event. “That building is very climbable when it’s dry, but when it’s wet, it just becomes so slippery. Alex couldn’t possibly climb it wet—even with ropes.” Honnold starred in the Oscar-winning 2018 documentary Free Solo, which captured his journey to become the first person to free solo climb the 3,000-foot El Capitan wall in Yosemite National Park. Honnold has insisted that the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 skyscraper will be no different from his regular feats—but Netflix will be streaming the event with a 10-second delay, just in case.
