Ne-Yo, 46, is discovering that polyamory comes with a workload. The Grammy-winning singer admitted that juggling three girlfriends is “hard work” during a Wednesday appearance on Sherri, where he spoke candidly about life after his “ugly” divorce from ex-wife Crystal Renay. Ne-Yo said he began exploring polyamory after deciding his days of lying to women were over. He publicly introduced his polyamorous relationship on Instagram in March last year, revealing he was dating Arielle Hill, Brionna Williams, Cristina, and Moneii — though he hasn’t specified which woman is no longer part of the polycule. Once he revealed that he was seeing other women, he said, all of them “chose to stick around” and work out how to make the arrangement function as a unit. That system balances solo and shared time. “Everybody gets their individual time,” Ne-Yo explained, adding that group time is “just as important.” Still, he noted the logistics aren’t simple — especially when it comes to gift-giving, which requires individual presents rather than a “blanket” present. “I’ve never been afraid of hard work,” Ne-Yo said, smiling.

Freddie Mercury’s alleged secret daughter, only known as “Bibi,” passed away from spinal cancer at 48. The woman’s husband announced her death to the Daily Mail and told the outlet, “B is now with her beloved and loving father in the world of thoughts.” She is survived by two sons. Love, Freddie, a biography published in September 2025 by author Lesley-Ann Jones, was the first to reveal Bibi’s existence. Known in the text as just “B,” the book alleges that she was born as a result of a 1976 affair between Mercury and a friend’s wife. Mercury’s longtime lover and former fiancée, Mary Austin, has disputed these claims. Jones states that she believed Bibi’s claims, adding that, “She has never asked for money. She does not want recognition.” The assertions in the tell-all remain controversial. Bibi says that she has confirmed her parentage through a DNA test and addressed these disputes in the book, “For 30 years, while the rest of the world was reinterpreting Mercury’s life, his music and all that he had been, I needed to have my Dad just for me and my family. How could I have spoken before?”

The U.S. lost out on a worldwide spike in tourism spending in 2025, thanks in part to President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies. Global spending on travel rose by 6.7 percent overall last year compared to the previous year, but the U.S. registered a 6 percent drop in foreign visitors and a 7 percent decrease in spending from foreign travelers, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. Concern about U.S. immigration policy led many tourists to choose European countries such as Spain and France, or Asian countries such as Japan. U.S. Arrivals from Canada, Mexico, and Europe all fell, according to the WTTC. France was the world’s most-visited country in 2025, with 105 million visitors. Spain was next with 96.5 million visitors, followed by the U.S. with a far more modest 68 million visitors. Last year, tourism contributed the equivalent of 10.3 percent of global gross domestic product, and tourism spending grew at double the pace of global economic growth. When reached for comment, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said Trump has “done more for American tourism than anyone, including by making our cities safe and beautiful again for all to enjoy and bringing major events like the Los Angeles Olympics and FIFA World Cup to the United States.”

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, will no longer be permitted to alter real people’s photos to show them in revealing outfits in countries where such actions violate local laws. The change comes amid intense global criticism after the tool, developed by Musk’s company xAI and integrated into the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, was used to generate sexually explicit images of women and children, prompting some governments to take action against the technology. Several nations, including Malaysia, Indonesia, France, and the U.K., have either opened inquiries or blocked access to the chatbot in response to what critics call the dangerous misuse of deepfake tools. Officials in Europe and North America emphasized the need for stronger safeguards to prevent the creation and spread of abusive content targeting unconsenting individuals and minors. “We have zero tolerance for the AI-based creation and dissemination of nonconsensual intimate images or of child sexual abuse material,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said, according to the AP. In some markets, regulators are examining whether existing online safety and child protection laws were breached by Grok’s earlier capabilities. Experts have argued that merely limiting features to paying subscribers does not fully address the underlying issue of harmful image generation.

MAGA has raised over $1 million for the ICE agent who shot and killed mom-of-three Renee Good. Fundraisers on crowd-sourcing platforms GiveSendGo and GoFundMe have each hauled in hundreds of thousands in the name of Jonathan Ross, 43, who shot Good in Minnesota on Jan. 7. At the time of writing, GoFundMe’s” ICE OFFICER Jonathan Ross” has raised $745,000, while GiveSendGo’s “Stand With Our Brave ICE Hero” has pulled in $278,000. Many of the over 21,000 donations are anonymous, with some as large as $10,000. Both funds are closing in on their respective targets of $800,000 and $300,000. Neither was set up by Ross, with the person who created the GoFundMe, Clyde Emmons, calling Good “a domestic terrorist,” while the GiveSendGo creator Tom Hennessey called her “a radical leftist agitator,” who “weaponized her car.” He called on “America First patriots” to stand up for “our fearless ICE agents” in the face of “smears from open-borders radicals.” Ross has not been charged and an investigation is being carried out by the FBI.

Boeing was aware of a critical problem in the UPS aircraft that went down last year, killing 15 people, officials said. The National Transportation Safety Board revealed on Wednesday that the UPS cargo plane that crashed near Louisville, Kentucky, last November, had a structural flaw Boeing had previously deemed non-hazardous. Investigators found cracks in the assembly securing the left engine, a part that had fractured in a similar fashion on at least four prior occasions across three other planes. Boeing had issued a 2011 service letter acknowledging the fractures but stating they “would not result in a safety of flight condition.” The aircraft, an MD-11F built by McDonnell Douglas (acquired by Boeing in the 1990s), caught fire shortly after takeoff from Louisville and crashed into multiple buildings, including a petroleum recycling facility. Three crew members and 12 people on the ground died. After the crash, Boeing urged all MD-11s be grounded during the NTSB probe, a step followed by UPS and temporarily enforced by the FAA. Boeing told the Daily Beast: “We continue to support the investigation led by the NTSB. Our deepest condolences go out to the families who lost loved ones and our thoughts remain with all those affected.”

Horses can sniff out fear in humans, according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One. The study used cotton pads placed in human participants’ armpits to collect odor samples while they watched scary, joyful, or neutral videos. Those samples were then presented to the nostrils of 43 horses to observe their reactions. Researchers monitored the horses’ behavior and stress-related biomarkers, including heart rate, cortisol levels, and saliva indicators. Horses exposed to scent samples from frightened humans showed heightened stress responses, appearing more easily startled and more cautious around unfamiliar people and objects. “The fearful odors from humans amplify the reactions of horses,” the study’s lead author, Plotine Jardat, told CNN, noting that the animals appear particularly sensitive to chemical signals associated with stress. Researchers say this initial study focused on fear because of the practical implications the results would have on horse riders and handlers. Future studies will examine whether horses can also distinguish other human emotions through scent, including sadness and disgust.

​​Diff’rent Strokes star Todd Bridges has separated from designer Bettijo Hirschi after three years of marriage, he announced on Wednesday. The two met on a dating app and got engaged six months later, tying the knot in Beverly Hills three months after that, with the 60-year-old becoming stepfather to her four children. “After much thought and mutual respect, we have decided to end our marriage,” he told TMZ. “During our time together we shared meaningful moments, but have chosen to go our separate ways. I ask for privacy and wish her nothing but love and happiness moving forward.” In a statement to People, the child sitcom star said, “After much prayer and reflection, my spouse and I have made the difficult decision to separate. This was not an easy choice, and it comes with a heavy heart, but also with love and gratitude for the life we shared.” He has two children of his own, 29-year-old daughter Bo and 28-year-old son Spencir, and from 1998 to 2012, the Everybody Hates Chris star was married to fellow former child actor Dori Bridges.

Wild footage has emerged of a black Jeep registered to an NFL player running a red light, rear-ending a parked car, and then flipping onto its roof. Security camera video from Nov. 15 shows a vehicle belonging to Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt in a late-night crash in Covington, Kentucky, and was released just days after he served a short jail sentence for a separate driving incident. The police report states he was not driving in this incident, which WKRC Local 12 reports happened the day before Taylor-Britt suffered an on-field foot injury that ended his season. Police say the scene had been abandoned before officers could determine responsibility but later found Taylor-Britt’s brother and the player himself. Body camera footage obtained by WKRC Local 12 shows the two men and officers going back and forth over who was behind the wheel. No one was charged following the incident, with Capt. James Bradbury saying, “This case was not turned over to any prosecutor’s office because no one committed a crime. Taylor-Britt appeared in court on crutches on Jan. 6 in relation to a separate incident, where he pleaded guilty to reckless driving and driving with a restricted license. He was sentenced to and immediately served five days in jail.

An astronaut in need of medical attention has been successfully evacuated from the International Space Station along with three crewmates. Wednesday’s return cut the missions of NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov short by over a month. After splashing down off the coast of California, outgoing space station commander Fincke exited first, smiling, waving, and wobbling, before following procedure and falling into a gurney. “It’s so good to be home,” said Cardman. They launched in August and were expected to remain on the space station until late February. In a post shared to social media earlier this week, Fincke said the astronaut in need of medical care, who officials declined to identify, was “stable, safe and well cared for.” “This was a deliberate decision to allow the right medical evaluations to happen on the ground, where the full range of diagnostic capability exists,” he added. Prior to their return trip, Cardman said, “Our timing of this departure is unexpected, but what was not surprising to me was how well this crew came together as a family to help each other and just take care of each other.” Three people remain on the ISS.
