The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, as Bravo has unveiled the official cast for season 11 of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” or “RHOP.” According to a social media post from the network, the Maryland-based iteration of the popular reality show will feature returners Stacey Rusch, Wendy Osefo, and Tia Glover. Four OGs will also be in the mix, specifically Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Karen Huger, and Robyn Dixon.

Four OGs Are Back In The Mix For Season 11 Of ‘RHOP’ On Bravo

The news of Huger and Dixon’s return comes shortly after season 10 of the explosive reality series wrapped in March 2026.

Huger’s comeback will be the first time the TV personality is filming with the group for the regular episodes since being released from prison in September 2025.

Dixon is rejoining the cast as an official “friend” of the show after departing at the end of season 8.

Dixon Got Candid About Being ‘Fired’ From ‘RHOP’ In 2024

For those who may be unfamiliar, Dixon spoke openly about being axed from the series on an episode of her podcast, “Reasonably Shady,” in 2024.

“Yes, I will not be returning to season nine of The Real Housewives of Potomac,” she said. “It’s reality. The network did not invite me back. I was fired, for lack of better words. I will not sugarcoat the situation and say, ‘Oh, I am walking away and this is a brea’ or anything like this. This is a network decision.”

Dixon joined the cast in season 1 alongside Bryant, Huger, Darby, Charisse Jackson-Jordan, and Katie Rost.

Throughout the years, Dixon remained at the forefront of the show’s drama, whether it be her explosive feud with Monique Samuels or her messy relationship with former Washington Wizards player Jaun Dixon.

Dixon Thanked Her The Fans For Supporting Her After Admitting She Was Removed From The Show Two Years Ago

Elsewhere, during the podcast episode, Dixon thanked the “RHOP” fans for riding with her for nearly a decade.

“Thank you to the fans who’ve watched us from day 1,” she said before sharing an emotional message.

“I do want to especially thank all of the fans and viewers who have supported me, showed loved to me. Whether you directly sent me love or you prayed for me or you have positive energy or positive thoughts around me, I appreciate you. And I hope I inspired you the viewers, the fans, to live your life authentically. To not feel pressure to change for anyone, or impress people, and just to be yourself,” she said.

What Drama Can Fans Expect To See On Season 11 Of ‘RHOP’?

While the details about the season are still being kept private, viewers can expect to hear more from the cast about deeply personal details, including Huger’s stint in prison.

According to The Blast, the reality star was sentenced to a year in a Maryland correctional facility after being found guilty of driving under the influence.

During a sit-down with Andy Cohen, Huger responded to the claims that being on TV contributed to her reported struggles with alcohol, claiming that it couldn’t be further from the truth.

“The show actually saved me,” Huger shared. “It occupied me. I think I would have spiraled quicker without it. It gave me discipline. I had a routine. So, I can’t hate it. I don’t hate it. And I don’t need to blame it either. No, I was responsible for me. I was sick. I have the disease of alcoholism. I have the disease of, you know, taking prescription medicine and abusing it. That’s me.”

Osefo Is Still Dealing With Her Legal Battles

And that’s not all. Osefo’s legal issues will also be a major storyline during season 11 of the show.

According to The Blast, Osefo and her husband were arrested in October 2025 and charged with various fraud charges after authorities claimed they staged a burglary in order to receive money from their insurance companies.

The case is still ongoing; however, Osefo will be tried separately from her husband, Eddie.

At BravoCon 2025, Osefo spoke about the allegations, calling it an “unfortunate situation” before thanking the audience for their support.

“I am just so grateful for the support I’ve gotten from my cast members, as well as our production team, as well as Bravo. I am overwhelmed by the love so thank you so much,” she said.

Sometimes, you don’t plan to watch a full 2–3 hour movie. I know I don’t. I just press play, give it a few minutes, and if it doesn’t pull me in, I’m out. Most films lose me somewhere in the middle anyway, even if they start strong.

But action movies are a bit different when they’re done right. When the story is tight and the action actually makes sense, you don’t feel the time passing. One scene leads into the next, and you’re not waiting for things to get better because they’re already gripping. That balance is hard to get right, which is why so many films fall apart halfway through. The ones on this list don’t have that problem. They stay consistent, keep the tension alive, and actually feel riveting from start to finish.

The attacker places certain conditions that require constant attention, since any mistake could trigger the device.

Following the takeover, McClane moves through different levels of the building while using limited resources to interfere with the group’s plan. He establishes contact with outside authorities and attempts to pass information about the situation.

Riley Dearmas, a 13-year-old girl in Houston, Texas, lost her life following an after-school fight stemming from an escalated case of bullying. The fight reportedly involved a 10-year-old boy and has now added to the long list of similar incidents happening nationwide.

Now, families are speaking out. And demanding justice.

The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is diving in on ‘TSR Investigates.’

What Happened To 13-Year-Old Riley Dearmas Due To Bullying

According to Carter, Riley Dearmas, and a group of children, including the 10-year-old boy, were arguing over a weed pen. Per Riley’s mother, Ashley, the boy believed the pen was allegedly stolen by two of Riley’s friends.

“She had no idea what was going on… did not know. She backed up… even walked away,” Ashley explained of the altercation.

At that point, Riley’s two young friends went to get their older sister. Per Carter, that’s when “chaos ensued.”

“Riley stayed too long,” her mom told Carter. “Wrong place, wrong time. Too long.”

Footage of the incident captures someone yelling, “Who brought out a knife, bro?”

Ultimately, Ashley found out about her daughter’s death on social media. Furthermore, she didn’t know where her daughter was. Then, she received a call from the Coroner’s Office to confirm the passing of her daughter. However, she didn’t receive the opportunity to see Riley in person.

“I did not see my daughter’s body up til three days of her funeral when it was time for me to go and give the funeral home her clothing… and things of that nature,” Ashley told Carter, adding that police even lacked empathy in giving her updates on the case.

More On The After-School Fight In Houston

Furthermore, family members are reportedly skeptical about how police obtained information on the case, with officials reportedly asserting that Riley Dearmas arrived at the location with the intent to fight.

Scroll above to watch as family members explain what they believe really happened at the scene. Additionally, Carter shares the stories of other families who’ve faced the passing of their young children due to physical altercations with other children. Furthermore, licensed clinical mental health counselor Gretchen Campbell weighs in on how families can better nurture their children’s emotional and mental health and development.

Ben Affleck is reportedly willing to part with his $30 million stake in the Beverly Hills estate he once shared with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez if it means him being free from her forever.

The estranged couple finalized their divorce in January last year, but have been unable to offload their pricey marital mansion.

Meanwhile, the “Argo” actor has maintained close ties with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and the former couple recently stepped out for an outing with their son Samuel.

Ben Affleck Wants To Close Lopez Chapter At All Costs

Ben Affleck seems to be fed up with anything relating to Jennifer Lopez, so much so that he’s willing to walk away from $30 million if it means he’ll never have to deal with her again.

The estranged couple went through a very public split for most of 2024, after Lopez filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Their divorce was finalized early the next year, after which they had to sort out the division of assets and interests as they didn’t sign a prenup when they tied the knot.

However, the exes still had to deal with each other because they had been unable to sell the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion they bought to host their blended family during their time together.

All that has changed now, with sources claiming that the “Accountant 2” actor is handing Lopez his share of their mansion so he can finally walk away and never have to deal with the singer again.

“This isn’t him giving anything,” an insider said. “This is him paying to be done. That house is the last tie, and he wants it gone, fast.”

The Actor Only Has Freedom On His Mind: ‘He Wants A Clean, Absolute Break’

At this point, having some peace of mind and tranquility is more important to the Oscar winner than making any profit or getting reimbursed for the mansion he owns with Lopez.

“He’d pay anything at this point,” the insider explained to journalist Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop. “Because peace of mind is worth more than the money.”

However, this is not him just throwing money around or some charitable ventures. It’s a calculated plan, the source shared.

“Ben isn’t acting out of kindness,” they noted. “He’s making a smart decision for himself. He wants a clean, absolute break, and this is the quickest way to get there.”

The move will see the “Maid In Manhattan” actress own full control of the property as well as any future profits from it,  but Affleck doesn’t mind.

“He’s not thinking about the upside,” the source explained. “He’s thinking about being free.”

Ben Affleck Reunited With Ex Jennifer Garner

Unlike his relationship with Lopez, Affleck has maintained close ties with ex-wife Jennifer Garner following their 2018 divorce.

On Friday last week, the pair reunited for an outing with their son Samuel, and one couldn’t easily tell whether or not anything like a divorce had happened between them.

Both actors seem to be doing well on their co-parenting journey and have often reunited for special occasions like Thanksgiving Day, birthday anniversaries, and special holidays.

Affleck and Garner, who also share children Violet and Fin, came together in February to host a paintball party in commemoration of Samuel’s 14th birthday.

According to the Daily Mail, they were seen arriving at Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, California, ready to have fun with their child.

They raised eyebrows at the same occasion last year when Affleck was seen affectionately hugging the “Elektra” actress.

Jennifer Garner Weighed In On Her Co-Parenting Relationship With Ben Affleck

It comes after Garner weighed in on her co-parenting journey with Affleck during a February appearance on Bustle’s “One Nightstand” podcast, revealing that it has taken a lot of sacrifices for them to get here.

“When your kids grow up in two separate households, I become mom and dad, and he becomes dad and mom,” Garner said. “You kind of can’t help it, right? Because you don’t have the benefit of both sides, the yin and yang being in the same house, so you have to have a bit of both in the way you parent.”

“There’s a little bit of loss in that, but there’s also something gained in that,” she added, per Fox News. “You also just learn, it’s made me let go and not focus so much on the bringing up.”

Ben Affleck Once Admitted He Didn’t Want To Get Divorced From Jennifer Garner

Affleck previously shared that he never wanted their divorce before noting that they would be “connected” forever, particularly because of their kids.

“I didn’t want to get divorced, I didn’t want to be a divorced person, I really didn’t want to be a split family with my children,” he said in a 2020 “GMA” appearance. “It upset me because it meant I wasn’t who I thought I was, and that was so painful and so disappointing. In myself.”

“When you have children with somebody, you’re connected to them forever,” the actor continued. “And I’m very lucky she is the mother of my children. I’m very grateful and respectful of her.”

Affleck added, “Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not.”

Since their split, Affleck and Garner have maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship and are regularly seen together supporting their children.

Chaos erupted inside one of New York City’s busiest transit hubs on Saturday after a violent incident sent commuters into panic and authorities rushing to respond. Police identified the suspect as 44-year-old Anthony Griffin, whose actions inside Grand Central Terminal quickly turned a routine morning commute into a scene of emergency response and lockdown.

Grand Central Machete Attack Leaves Three Injured

According to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Anthony Griffin allegedly used a machete to stab three people inside Grand Central Terminal. And, victims include a 65-year-old man, a 70-year-old woman, and an 84-year-old man. Authorities say the attack began after Griffin entered the subway system in Queens around 9:30 a.m. Additionally, he rode a No. 7 train into Manhattan and began the assault upon arrival at Grand Central. Police reported that officers later encountered Griffin on the 4/5/6 platform, where he refused repeated commands to drop the weapon before advancing toward officers. Police fatally shot him after a 10-minute standoff.

Victims Stable, Police Shoot Griffin After Standoff

Tisch stated that all three victims sustained serious injuries, including head and facial lacerations. Additional injuries include an open skull fracture, but the victims were taken to the hospital in non-life-threatening condition. Officials also confirmed that the victims did not know Griffin, describing the attack as random. It was also noted that he had three prior arrests. Two NYPD officers are also hospitalized in stable condition following the incident.

Following the attack, Grand Central Terminal was partially shut down as authorities secured the scene with yellow tape and diverted multiple subway lines, including the Nos. 4, 5, and 6 trains. Officials, including New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, praised the rapid police response as investigations continue and authorities prepare to release body camera footage as part of standard procedure.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani Speaks Out After Incident

Mayor Zohran Mamdani also spoke out on Saturday morning, taking to X to address the incident at Grand Central Station. He said he received briefings that a man allegedly slashed three people on a platform with a machete before officers responded and shot Griffin. Mamdani noted that authorities pronounced the suspect dead while they hospitalized the three victims in stable condition, and he thanked the NYPD for their quick response. He also added that officials are conducting an internal investigation and will release body-worn camera footage as part of standard procedure.

I have been briefed on an incident that occurred at Grand Central Station this morning. Reports indicate a man slashed three people on the platform with a machete. Officers shot the man when he did not drop the machete. He has since been pronounced dead.

I’m grateful to the NYPD…

The sci-fi genre has received a lot of attention recently with shows like Pluribus, Severance, Murderbot, and many more. However, one notable entry into the genre that deserves more attention isn’t particularly new. In 2009, sci-fi fans were introduced to the fascinating superhero comedy Misfits, which follows a group of teens in trouble with the law as they accidentally gain supernatural powers, placing them in danger. Not only is it an original take on the traditional superhero origin, but with five seasons, Misfits will keep you entertained for a while, especially as it only gets better.

With a talented cast, many of whom were only beginning their careers, Misfits becomes a coming-of-age story as the characters grow from misbehaving teens into more balanced, though still flawed, adults. Even as the cast changes, the show remains engaging with its dark and cynical exploration of superpowers. In this way, Misfits was ahead of its time. These days, there are many gritty superhero shows that question the traditional story, from The Boys to Umbrella Academy to Doom Patrol, but at the time, Misfits was a unique concept. This deconstruction of the superhero narrative highlights the characters’ flaws as well as their powers, creating a more complex and rewarding story that viewers can easily invest in.

What Is ‘Misfits’ About?

While there are many twists along the way, Misfits follows a group of superpowered teens as they figure out who they are. The story begins with Alisha (Antonia Thomas), Simon (Iwan Rheon), Kelly (Lauren Socha), Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett), and Nathan (Robert Sheehan), five young individuals doing community service, when a supernatural thunderstorm hits. This gives them unexpected superpowers, or most of them. Nathan struggles to figure out what he can do, while Alisha realizes she can arouse people with a touch, Simon turns invisible, Kelly develops telepathy, and Curtis can rewind time. Yet, they are not the only ones affected; their probation officer, Tony (Danny Sapani), receives superstrength, but it also amplifies his rage, sending him into a frenzy directed at the children. After killing him in self-defense, they must hide the truth of what happened, including their powers, which is easier said than done, especially once Tony’s fiancée and fellow probation officer, Sally (Alex Reid), comes into their lives.

However, with five seasons, that is only the beginning of their journey. The threats they face grow, going from angry probation officers to religious cults and power-switching villains. This allows the story to develop in unexpected ways, and it certainly takes advantage of that. Misfits often takes bizarre twists, incorporating concepts like time travel and resurrection, which are always good for a surprise. However, the show also features grounded elements by showing realistic character struggles, such as difficult family situations, exploring sexuality, and a lack of self-confidence. The result is an exciting series that is impossible to stop.

‘Misfits’ Isn’t Your Average Superhero Show

While superheroes have become widely popular, Misfits doesn’t follow all the classic hallmarks of that genre. The series is a less optimistic version of the story as the characters struggle more than ever after they get their abilities. With a grim and violent tone, Misfits doesn’t follow your typical heroes, and that is especially clear in the abilities they receive. The group doesn’t get random powers, but ones that highlight their flaws and insecurities. Take Simon, for example, who often feels ignored and isolated even before he can turn invisible, which only amplifies those feelings. Similarly, Curtis’ power of rewinding time is tied to his feelings of regret. This unconventional method of assigning power highlights the character’s personal struggles and makes their abilities darkly ironic.

As a show centering around the young and superpowered, Misfits is in the vein of Gen V or Marvel’s Runaways, but it was years ahead of its time. When the show premiered in 2009, superheroes were not yet at the peak of their popularity, and a show that highlights the flaws in the hero system was not what people were looking for. However, today, these are some of the most intriguing additions to the genre. Misfits picks apart the traditional superhero story with its dark commentary. Featuring themes of trauma and redemption, the series gets deeper than you might expect, yet it maintains the wit fans love, making it a perfect binge that never loses its touch.

Some late-’90s thrillers are too weird to stay dead forever. Turbulence is absolutely one of them. The movie bombed when it hit theaters back in 1997, but it has exactly the kind of over-the-top premise and wild villain energy that streaming viewers love rediscovering. That’s especially true when the villain is Ray Liotta in full maniac mode.

And funnily enough, the movie has climbed its way to the top of the streaming charts across the country. In fact, if you note the streaming charts now, you’ll note that it was sitting just behind the top title on the service. That’s a pretty amazing second life for a movie that made only about $11.5 million worldwide in theaters.

The full main cast of Turbulence includes Lauren Holly as Teri Halloran, the flight attendant forced to take control of the plane; Liotta as Ryan Weaver, the chained serial killer who turns the flight into a nightmare; Brendan Gleeson as Stubbs, the armed robber being transported alongside him; Hector Elizondo as Aldo Hines; Rachel Ticotin as Martha; Jeffrey DeMunn as FBI agent Frank Sinclair; John Finn as the air traffic controller helping from the ground; and Ben Cross as pilot Captain Matthew Reynolds.

Is ‘Turbulence’ Worth Watching?

Image via MGM

Well, in a so-bad-it’s-good way, sure. Roger Ebert‘s review stated that Turbulence is the kind of thriller that never stops moving, even though almost none of it makes sense. The movie throws a killer, a storm, a nearly empty 747, and a long list of disasters into one story, then keeps piling on more chaos without worrying much about logic. The result is not tense so much as completely ridiculous.

“There are more questions. Like, if a 747 sheers off the roof of a high-rise restaurant, wouldn’t that cause it to crash? Like, if a 747 plows through an outdoor billboard, wouldn’t that cause it to crash? Like, if it sweeps all the cars off the roof of a parking garage, wouldn’t that cause it to crash? Like, if it gets a truck caught in its landing gear, what would happen then? (‘It’s a Ford!’ a sharp-eyed observer says, in a line that–for once–I don’t think represents product placement.) Oh, yes, there are many moments I will long remember from Turbulence. But one stands out. After Lauren Holly outsmarts and outfights the berserk killer and pilots the plane through a Level 6 storm, the FBI guy still doubts she can land it. ‘She’s only a stewardess,’ he says. To which the female air traffic controller standing next to him snaps, ‘She’s a . . . flight attendant!’”

Turbulence is streaming now.

One situation involving a paycheck has folks doing a serious double-take. And now, Rene Nichole Coleman is at the center of a case that’s raising plenty of eyebrows. Because baby… this wasn’t just a little mix-up. This is the kind of payday that’ll have everybody checking their direct deposit real quick.

Coleman Arrested After $1,650/Hour Payroll Mix-Up

According to reports, authorities arrested Rene Nichole Coleman, 50, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, months after a judge reportedly found probable cause to charge her with felony theft involving more than $5,000 but less than $25,000. The case stems from an alleged payroll error at her former job. And apparently, officials say she was mistakenly paid an eye-popping $1,650 per hour for a 12-hour shift. Investigators claim Coleman, who normally earned $16.50 an hour, ended up receiving an overpayment totaling $19,388.

Company Demands Money Back As Dispute Escalates

Once the company realized the mistake, the CEO reportedly attempted to recover the funds, but things took a turn when Coleman allegedly refused to return the money. Reports state that the employer then brings the situation to law enforcement, providing financial documents and emails to support the claim that the overpayment was made in error. Authorities say the situation escalated after attempts to resolve the issue directly failed.
