OG ‘Real Housewives’ Hightail It to New Network

Several of the women who defined the original Real Housewives of New York City are preparing to return to reality TV—just not on Bravo. According to Page Six, several original cast members, including Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, and Ramona Singer, have reached an agreement with E! for a new unscripted series expected to premiere later this year. The move follows a stalled effort to revive the group under a proposed “Legacy” format at Bravo, which never came together. Instead, Bravo opted to overhaul the franchise in 2022 with an entirely new cast—an experiment that has struggled to regain the show’s former momentum. For the first time since its debut, RHONY is currently absent from Bravo’s programming lineup as producers reassess the brand’s future. Meanwhile, the original stars are forging ahead elsewhere, marking a rare moment of direct competition between Bravo and E!, which recently split into separate corporate entities. Bethenny Frankel and Alex McCord seem to be sitting this one out.

A Philippine Airlines flight attendant was stuck with a truly vile task mid-flight after a lavatory malfunction left human waste overflowing during a flight to Manila. A YouTube video shows a male crew member using a drink carton to scoop waste from the toilet before dumping the contents into the sink. The Boeing 777 was traveling from California to Manila when the issue occurred. According to the New York Post, airline representatives said that after a “technical and operational assessment,” diverting the flight to Guam—roughly six hours away—was deemed a worse option than manually clearing the waste so the plane could continue to its destination. The unpleasant intervention worked. Airline officials later said the final flight report showed “normal lavatory function,” allowing the aircraft to land in Manila without further incident. While passengers may have been relieved to avoid a diversion—or a full cabin overflow—the situation sparked outrage among crew members. One Mile at a Time reported that flight attendants filed an incident report with their union, accusing Philippine Airlines of prioritizing punctuality and profits over employee safety and dignity.

Scientists have discovered a large sulfur-bearing organic molecule in space, fueling hope that the building blocks of life may be present beyond the stars. Sulfur, the 10th most abundant element in the universe, is a key ingredient for life and is vital in forming proteins, amino acids, and enzymes on Earth. The discovery of the molecule, called 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-thione, was reported in a study published in Nature Astronomy on Jan. 23. “Sulfur came to Earth from space long, long ago,” lead author of the study, Mitsunori Araki, told CNN. “However, we have only found a very limited amount of sulfur-bearing molecules in space, which is strange. It should exist in huge amounts, but it’s very difficult to find.” Though the discovery of molecules containing sulfur in space is nothing new, the detection of a large organic compound such as this one hints that many more, possibly larger, sulfur-bearing molecules can be found in the future. “This is the largest sulfur-bearing molecule ever found in space, at 13 atoms,” Araki said. “Before this one, the largest only had nine atoms, but it was already a rare case, because most detected sulfur-bearing molecules only had three, four or five atoms.”

The Australian Open final is shaping up to be a grueling showdown, with top seed Carlos Alcaraz, 22, set to face rival Novak Djokovic, 38, after both won punishing five-set semifinals on Friday in Melbourne. Alcaraz advanced after outlasting Alexander Zverev in a marathon five-hour, 27-minute match in blistering heat—the longest men’s semifinal in Melbourne Park history. The Spaniard battled through apparent thigh cramps that required a medical timeout and later admitted in a on-court interview that the match was one of the most physically demanding of his career. No. 4 seed Djokovic booked his spot by defeating reigning champion Jannik Sinner in another five-set thriller, making him the oldest man in the Open era to reach the Australian Open final. Speaking on-court afterward, Djokovic said he knew beating Sinner would be “very difficult—but not impossible.” Alcaraz and Djokovic have faced off several times, most recently at the 2025 U.S. Open, where Alcaraz stunned Djokovic for the title.

Wall Street investors have seen the value of their holdings in stocks of private prison operators plummet as President Donald Trump’s mass deportation push fails to hit hoped-for highs, according to Bloomberg. Shares of the two largest private prison operators in the country, Geo Group Inc. and CoreCivic Inc., have crashed a year after skyrocketing in anticipation of Trump’s huge deportation drive. Twelve months on, his border czar Tom Homan—parachuted in after Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino became a liability—said operations in Minnesota would be scaled back. So far in January, two U.S. citizens have been shot dead by ICE agents, while the newly launched Operation Catch of the Day, in Maine, was cut short. Bloomberg reports that the Department of Homeland Security has “fallen short of its goals when it comes to detaining immigrants despite high-profile enforcement actions.” It noted that while there were 40,000 people in ICE detention at the start of Trump’s presidency, that number has only risen to 73,000. Joe Gomes, an analyst at Noble Capital Markets, told the outlet, “Despite record funding that came through the One Big Beautiful Bill last year, the increase in detainees has risen slower than a lot of people had originally anticipated.”

Cannibalistic jellyfish have flooded the waters of a major tourist destination, multiplying rapidly and destroying fishermen’s livelihoods. The creature is the warty comb jelly, also known as the sea walnut, which has spread throughout Venice’s lagoon system after arriving from the western Atlantic, likely via ships’ ballast water. Researchers say the species’ sudden dominance reflects environmental shifts that have made once-hostile waters newly welcoming. Rising water temperatures and favorable salinity linked to “ongoing climate change” are thought to have helped the species proliferate. The animal is best known for its ability to eat its own offspring and for possessing a transient anus that appears only during defecation. Researchers from the University of Padua and the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics say jellyfish numbers have exploded, creating acute problems for local fishermen. The jellies clog nets and devour fish eggs, larvae, and plankton—key building blocks of the lagoon’s ecosystem. Known formally as Mnemiopsis leidyi, the species is listed among the world’s 100 most harmful invasive organisms. Findings from the two-year study documenting the jelly’s spread were published in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.

Team USA star skier Lindsey Vonn had to be airlifted from a mountain following a crash in a World Cup race, just one week before the Winter Olympics begin in Italy. The Milan Cortina Games commence on Feb. 6, but now question marks hang over the U.S.’s top prospect. Vonn crashed in her final downhill, and she was left limping after losing control on a jump during the race in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. The 41-year-old got tangled in nets after the crash in the course’s early stages. She was seen keeping her weight off her knee afterwards on a chaotic day that ultimately saw the race canceled after three of the first six competitors crashed. Other competitors complained that visibility was poor and the surface was bumpy. After making it to the finish line, Vonn was spotted moving gingerly before being picked up by a helicopter and suspended beneath it on the end of a rope. Her first race of the Olympics at Cortina d’Ampezzo is due to be the women’s downhill on Feb. 8.

A 13-year-old boy has died after being bitten by a shark while he played in the water with his friends. Deivson Rocha Dantas snuck down to the Del Chifre Beach near the Brazilian city of Recife without his mother knowing on Thursday, his cousin told local outlet G1, where he was bitten in the thigh. He was rushed to Tricentenário Hospital in Bairro Novo but died prior to arrival, O Globo reports. The shark “ate almost his entire leg,” his cousin Lídia Emanuele told G1. “We called the ambulance, but they didn’t arrive in time. So, his own friends, who were the same age as him, pulled him out. They took him out of the sea, dragged him to the corner, and put him on the ground. He also fainted and hit his head. By then he was already cold.” Doctor Levy Dalton treated Dantas but said, “Unfortunately, we were unable to resuscitate him,” adding that the boy “had a fairly extensive injury to an artery in his lower limb, and because the injury was so extensive, he probably lost a lot of blood.”

Track star Sha’Carri Richardson, an Olympic champion, was taken into custody in Florida and cited for a speeding violation on Thursday, police officials reported. Authorities say Richardson was clocked at roughly 104mph while driving on a roadway near the Orlando area. A representative from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office stated that she followed other vehicles too closely and changed lanes aggressively in order to overtake drivers. At age 25, the elite runner ranks among the quickest female sprinters in history. During the 2024 Summer Games held in Paris, she earned a silver-medal finish in the 100-meter race and helped secure a gold medal as part of the 4×100 relay squad. Those achievements followed her removal from Olympic competition in 2020 after a drug test detected substances associated with cannabis. The previous year, Richardson released a public statement expressing regret toward her partner, fellow athlete Christian Coleman, after her arrest connected to an alleged fourth-degree domestic violence incident that reportedly occurred at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Team USA was disqualified from the World Snow Sculpting Championship in Minnesota after using its entry to protest ICE. Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce president Robin Anthony-Evenson said Wednesday an alteration of the original design to include outstretched hands subtly saying in American Sign Language “ICE out” was pulled because it “did not comply with the rules of the competition.” She said rules stipulate “teams must adhere to their original submitted sketch” and “sculptures must respect cultural and social values, and avoid offensive, controversial, political, or inappropriate themes.” Team USA captain Dusty Thune said they “hadn’t necessarily planned on inserting any messages into the sculpture” but claimed poor snow conditions forced them to make alterations, Pioneer Press reports. “Sometimes the medium decides the way a piece is going to be created. Sometimes external events also have a hand in shaping what a piece will become.” The decision to change “A Call to Arms” came a week after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mom Renee Good by an ICE agent. Organizers later removed some of the messaging and then the entire sculpture. “In hindsight, we should have taken it down right away, but we were trying to be nice,” Anthony-Evenson said. Canada won the 16-team competition. The U.S. didn’t place.
