Lindsey Vonn Addresses Claims She Was ‘Selfish’ for Competing in Olympics
Lindsey Vonn is addressing the haters… again.
“It wasn’t all for nothing… it wasn’t a dream… although sitting in this hospital bed it seems far away now…,” Vonn, 41, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 21, defending her decision to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics despite tearing her ACL nine days earlier.
“But I did it. I came back. I won,” she continued in the caption, shared alongside a highlight video of her recent races. “I showed up and did what most thought was impossible at my age with a partial knee replacement. These memories I’ll have forever and I’m grateful for every one of them. Every moment was amazing. Every moment was worth it.”
After tearing her ACL in a World Cup competition on January 30, Vonn decided to compete in the Olympics despite the athlete publicly confirming the ligament was “100 percent gone.”
Just 13 seconds into her first run of the Games on February 8, she broke her left tibia after clipping a flag and crashing out. She was airlifted off the course in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, and transported to a nearby hospital where she underwent four surgeries.
She returned to the United States on Tuesday, February 17, and underwent several additional surgeries.
Critics jumped on Vonn after the second injury, with some claiming she should not have competed in the Olympics after tearing her ACL and, instead, let someone else compete in her spot.

Vonn is having none of that, listing out her achievements in Saturday’s Instagram post.
“One thing that stung was when people said I was selfish and should give my Olympic spot to someone else,” she said in the post. “So… I just wanted to recap my season for all the haters out there that don’t understand what it means to earn your spot, and on a more positive note, to just reflect… #1 in the downhill standings; 3rd in sg standings; 2x Downhill wins; On every downhill podium all season; 7/8 podiums overall (only one 4th place).”
She continued, “It’s not impossible until it’s done. I didn’t reach my ultimate goal…. But I still did a lot. Thank you to those who believed! ❤️🙏🏻 #BELV.”
Vonn previously defended herself on social media after several people were questioning the extent of her ACL injury, even before breaking her leg at the Olympics.
“lol thanks doc,” Vonn posted via X on February 7, in response to a sports medicine doctor who was questioning the state of her injury. “My ACL was fully functioning until last Friday. Just because it seems impossible to you doesn’t mean it’s not possible. And yes, my ACL is 100% ruptured. Not 80% or 50%. It’s 100% gone.”
On Friday, Vonn shared a new photo of her broken leg, an x-ray showing what looks like a medal stabilizing brace on her bone.
“As you can see, it required a lot of plates and screws to put back together but Dr. Hackett did an incredible job,” Vonn posted via Instagram on Friday, along with a carousel of videos of her in the hospital with the x-ray photos. “Thank you Dr. Viola for the surgery assist as well!”
She acknowledged the struggle of her long recovery, saying she has not been on her feet in over a week.
Through it all, she claims her second, more grueling, injury had nothing to do with her original ACL tear.
“I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash,” she shared via Instagram after the crash. “My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever.”

How to Watch Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 After Cast Exit
CTV’s Sullivan’s Crossing has returned for season 4 after a shocking cast exit — and a secret husband plot twist — but how can fans watch the show on The CW and Netflix?
Based on a book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) as she returns to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. Throughout the seasons, viewers have been introduced to her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson), newcomer Cal (Chad Michael Murray) and more members of the community.
Sullivan’s Crossing was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered March 22, 2026, on CTV. After airing in Canada, the hit show will follow up with April 20, 2026, on The CW and then on Netflix presumably in the summer once the show wraps up on cable.
Before its premiere, Us Weekly broke the news in March that Patterson would not be reprising his role when season 4 returns.
“Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing ended with Sully leaving for Ireland, beginning a new chapter in his life. Season 4 picks up the next day, with Sully still overseas,” Sullivan’s Crossing executive producer and showrunner Roma Roth exclusively told Us. “While he isn’t physically present in this season, the character remains an important part of the world with the potential to be included in future seasons should that align with the ongoing creative.”
In response, Patterson hinted at what caused his surprising departure, writing via Instagram, “The creative differences were becoming untenable and I just sadly realized that the show was not something that I could agree to continue.”
Patterson clarified it wasn’t his choice to leave Sullivan’s Crossing.
“It’s unfortunate that it is now being implied that they moved on from me/Sully when the fact is the complete opposite, and those who sadly already have spoken out are also fully aware of this fact, and yet chose to say otherwise,” he continued. “I was not intending to make any statement but the fans of the books and the show deserve to know the truth as I have always been respectful of those who support this industry by watching and loving these characters we are so dang lucky and blessed to portray and bring to life.”
“Every actor knows what it’s like to fall in love with a character and a story. I fell in love with Sully and have nothing but fondness for him,” he shared. “I really enjoyed Sully and fought for his voice and his character. The richness and depth of Sully, whom the fans of the books all know and love, is so multi-layered and interesting.”
The statement concluded: “The fans deserved better than to think the embodiment of this character, me, would just disrespect not only the show, but them. In the end, we’re all fans of these characters and stories, and I’ll always support and defend the truth.”

Gore Verbinski’s R-Rated Sci-Fi Thriller Is Officially 2026’s New Cult Classic
Coincidentally, a trio of time-travel movies is jostling for attention on home video simultaneously. The best-reviewed of the lot is also the least high-profile: Redux Redux. Directed by brothers Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus, the movie stars their sister Michaela McManus as a woman who goes on an interdimensional mission to avenge her daughter’s death. Redux Redux had a limited release in February, but is now among the most-watched movies on the domestic iTunes rankings thanks to its near-perfect 97% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. More recently, writer-director BenDavid Grabinski‘s Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice debuted at the number one spot on the domestic Hulu rankings.
Starring Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, and Eiza González, the movie currently holds a 78% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the first time-travel movie of 2026 hailed from the most popular filmmaker of the bunch: Gore Verbinski. In fact, it was Verbinski’s first feature film in a decade. He was sentenced to director jail following the back-to-back box-office failure of his big-budget The Lone Ranger reboot and the mid-budget psychological horror film A Cure for Wellness. The underperformance of his latest film isn’t the greatest outcome, especially since he desperately needed a win. But, true to form, Verbinski didn’t play it safe, even though his current status in the industry made a win especially important.

Gore Verbinski Needs a Box-Office Win Desperately
The movie in question is Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. It stars Sam Rockwell as a time-traveler who shows up in a Los Angeles diner and informs the patrons that they must help him fight a war against artificial intelligence in the future. The movie also features Michael Peña, Haley Lu Richardson, and Juno Temple. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die opened to excellent reviews in February, only a week before Redux Redux. However, it grossed only $9 million worldwide against a reported budget of $20 million. In his review, Collider’s Aidan Kelley described the movie as “a raucous sci-fi comedy with extremely ambitious goals and insightful commentary on the current state of the world and how it can evolve (or devolve) into something unrecognizable.” According to FlixPatrol, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die‘s redemption arc is continuing despite the competition. It’s currently among the most-watched movies on iTunes and the Google Play Store. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

New Sci-Fi Masterpiece Destroys M. Night Shyamalan’s Rare Genre Experiment at the Box Office
Ryan Gosling‘s latest film, Project Hail Mary, has now overtaken the lifetime worldwide box office haul of his 2017 sci-fi classic, Blade Runner 2049. It has also more than doubled the worldwide gross of his critically acclaimed biopic First Man, and is on track to overtake La La Land to become his highest-grossing hit. Gosling has been trying to pivot from arthouse cinema to more mainstream fare in recent years; he has the biggest movie of his career, Star Wars: Starfighter, lined up for release in 2027. However, Project Hail Mary is exactly what he needed to build toward his Star Wars feature. The critically acclaimed sci-fi sensation passed a couple of major box-office milestones in its second weekend, as it expanded its footprint globally.
The movie marks the directorial comeback of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who haven’t had a movie in theaters in over a decade. Based on the novel by Andy Weir, whose earlier bestseller served as the basis for Ridley Scott‘s The Martian, Project Hail Mary has a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes — higher than any movie in Gosling’s career. He has an uncommonly impressive track record; aside from films such as Blade Runner 2049, First Man, and La La Land, Gosling has also starred in Drive, The Nice Guys, The Big Short, and Barbie. Project Hail Mary is his most expensive vehicle yet, with a reported budget of $200 million. Unlike previous releases by Amazon Studios, the movie has done exceptionally well in the IMAX format.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Has Demolished the Worldwide Haul of M. Night Shyamalan’s Worst Film in Just 10 Days
This weekend, the film grossed nearly $55 million domestically to pass the $160 million mark in North America. It has also grossed over $100 million from overseas markets, for a running global cume of approximately $280 million. This puts Project Hail Mary on track to pass the $300 million mark by Monday. As things stand, the movie has overtaken the $244 million worldwide gross of M. Night Shyamalan‘s After Earth, starring Will Smith and Jaden Smith. The critically panned sci-fi adventure film was released in 2013, and was intended as something of a Hail Mary for Shyamalan’s struggling career. The experiment didn’t pay off, and he had to return to square one and claw his way back up. After Earth is the lowest-rated film of his career, according to Rotten Tomatoes, and an interesting counterpoint to Project Hail Mary. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Mickey Rourke Slammed By Therapist After Controversy: No ‘Accountability’
Actor Mickey Rourke had a turbulent start to the year. However, things may be looking brighter for him now. In a new interview, Rourke, known for his role in “The Wrestler,” praised his therapist for helping him identify personal problems that have deeply affected him over the years. He said their tough-love approach has played a key role in his growth.
Mickey Rourke Says ‘Years Of Therapy’ Have Helped Him Get Back On The Right Path

Speaking with TMZ in late March 2026, Rourke told the outlet that he was returning to the states after spending some time away working on a new project.
Rourke expressed his gratitude for work, noting that he’s been allowed to slowly return to the industry since learning to “behave myself.”
The actor noted that he hasn’t trashed any hotel rooms as of late, and noted the “years of therapy” it took to get him to a better place.
Mickey Rourke Says His Therapist Once Slammed Him Over His Refusal To Take ‘Accountability’

Rourke explained that his therapist once told him he doesn’t have “an ounce of accountability or concern for repercussions in your whole DNA.”
The 73-year-old said it took longer than he had hoped to grow, calling the challenges he’s faced “more like a journey” than anything else.
While Rourke is moving forward in his life, he said that some of his lowest moments led him to reflect and decide to change. “I’m starting over again,” he said. “Cause the only person I have to blame for what happened to me is me.”
Mickey Rourke Was Reportedly Facing Eviction

Rourke’s latest statements come months after the actor made headlines after reportedly being served an eviction notice.
According to The Blast, Rourke was told to pay nearly $60,000 in back rent in December 2025 or be forced to vacate the Los Angeles property.
Rourke reportedly began renting the property in March 2025 for $5,200 per month, before the price increased to $7,000 per month.
Following news of Rourke’s alleged financial woes, a GoFundMe was created for the controversial public figure, raising over $100,000 in a short period.
“This fundraiser is being created with Mickey’s full permission to help cover immediate housing-related expenses and prevent that from happening,” the fundraiser’s description explained. “Mickey Rourke is an icon—but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one. It is the story of someone who gave everything to his work, took real risks, and paid real costs.”
Rouke Claps Back At GoFundMe, Claims He Was Not Behind It, And Blasts Those In Charge

Despite the fundraiser passing the six-figure mark, Rourke was not pleased with the efforts and slammed it as “humiliating” in a social media video.
“That’s not me, okay?” he said. “I’d rather, if I needed money, I wouldn’t ask for no f-cking charity. I’d rather stick a gun up my [butt] and pull the trigger.”
Rourke explained that he was too prideful to ask for money, saying, “That’s not my style.”
“There’s only one person I can think of that would do such a thing, and I hope it’s not the person I’m thinking about. It’s humiliating,” he added.
Days later, Rourke’s manager, Kimberly Hines, came forward and took responsibility for the GoFundMe, claiming she created the page with the actor’s full support.
“We said, ‘Mickey, there’s some people that want to help you out.’ He’s like, ‘Okay, great.’ I don’t think he understood, and now it’s taken on this media frenzy, and he flipped out,” Hines said. “Nobody’s trying to grift Mickey. I want him working. I don’t want him doing a GoFundMe.”
Hines explained that she told Rourke it was important to accept the help, especially because she was facing financial challenges of her own from supporting him.
“He should probably take this help, because unless he goes back to work, I can only finance him for so long. I’m not a Getty. I’m a working woman,” Hines finished.
Rourke Removed From ‘Big Brother’ House Following Bizarre Interaction With Jojo Siwa
In the summer of 2025, Rourke faced even more backlash after being removed from the “Celebrity Big Brother” house after using controversial language with Jojo Siwa.
“Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior,” a “Big Brother” spokesperson said, per The Blast.
Before his removal, Rourke made headlines after speaking with Siwa, a former “Dance Moms” star, about her sexuality, saying, “If I stay [in the house] longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
At another point in the show, Rourke was heard telling his co-stars that he would “vote the lesbian out real quick,” referring to Siwa.
On the show, Rourke apologized for his comments and claimed he did not have “dishonorable intentions.”

Inside Tiger Woods’ History of Car Crashes Amid DUI Arrest
Tiger Woods’ 2026 DUI arrest was the latest in a series of serious car accidents for the golf legend.
Police in Jupiter, Florida, confirmed on March 27, 2026, that Woods was charged with driving under the influence, among other offenses, when an SUV was found on its side after a two-vehicle crash. No injuries were reported and Woods has yet to address the matter publicly.
Woods’ trouble on the road dates back to the early morning hours of November 27, 2009, when Florida police responded to an emergency call near his’ Orlando neighborhood. Woods later called the situation a “private matter,” but injuries kept him off the golf course at the Chevron World Challenge later that month.
Eight years later, Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving when he had another crash near his Florida home. His most serious accident occurred in 2021 when his SUV rolled over in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, requiring him to have emergency surgery.
Keep scrolling for more about Woods’ history with car crashes.
Tiger Woods Was Cited for Careless Driving in November 2009
Tiger Woods’ infamous cheating scandal was grabbing headlines when news broke that he’d crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and a tree near his home at around 2:30 a.m. ET on November 27, 2009. His then-wife, Elin Nordegren, was at the scene.
Woods was treated for facial lacerations and ultimately backed out of multiple appearances that month, including at his own Chevron World Challenge charity event.
There was intense speculation about what caused the crash but Woods released a statement to accept full responsibility.
“The only person responsible for this accident is me,” he insisted. “My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.”
The golfer went on, “As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.”
“This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again,” he vowed. “This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.”
Woods paid a $164 fine to resolve a careless driving charge, per contemporary reports.
Tiger Woods Was Arrested on Suspicion of DUI in 2017
On May 29, 2017, Jupiter Island, Florida, police allegedly found Tiger Woods asleep behind the wheel of his SUV while stopped at a traffic light with the engine running.
Woods initially entered a not guilty plea when charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, he eventually agreed to plead guilty to reckless driving and was ordered to serve 50 hours of community service, complete one year of probation and pay a fine of $250.

At the time, Woods released a statement to assure the public that he understood “the severity of what I did.”
“I take full responsibility for my actions,” he told ABC News. “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly.”
He added, “I would like to apologize with all my heart to my family, friends and the fans. I expect more from myself too.”
Tiger Woods Was Seriously Injured in a 2021 Car Crash
Four years after his reckless driving charge, Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a rollover crash in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on February 23, 2021. No charges were filed but Woods had to be transported to Harbor–UCLA Medical Center with a shattered ankle and two leg fractures.
Woods later told Golf Magazine in May 2021 that the recovery from his rollover crash injuries was the most challenging of his life.
“I understand more of the rehab processes because of my past injuries, but this was more painful than anything I have ever experienced,” he told the publication. “My physical therapy has been keeping me busy. I do my routines every day and am focused on my No. 1 goal right now: walking on my own. Taking it one step at a time.”
Tiger Woods Was Charged With a DUI in March 2026
Jupiter Island, Florida, Sheriff John Budensiek held a press conference on March 27, 2026 to confirm that Tiger Woods had been charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after he refused a uranalysis.
Woods was allegedly involved in a two-vehicle rollover crash at around 2 p.m. local time. No injuries were reported, though a Land Rover was found on its side.
Woods was booked and eventually released after eight hours in police custody. Budensiek told the press later that day what led up to Woods facing criminal charges.
“Our DUI investigators came to the scene here. Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment,” the sheriff explained at a press conference. “They did several tests. He did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had. We did take that into account.”

Budensiek continued, “Mr. Woods did a breathalyzer test with triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, so he’s been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
“We know we arrested a high profile figure … but it doesn’t matter who you are,” the sheriff warned. “If you break the law, we’re going to follow the law. That’s a really easy path to take.”
A mugshot was released that same day, showing Woods in a blue shirt and blankly staring ahead at the camera.
“As far as him being in the jail, we’re going to make sure he’s safe. We’re not going to put him in the general population,” Sheriff Budensiek confirmed. “He’s not going to be with other inmates that can hurt him or try to capitalize on what he did. He’ll pay the price but he’s not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Woods for comment.

One of the Greatest Fantasy Sagas Surges on Streaming After New Reboot’s Trailer Release
Days after the trailer debut of HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series, audiences seem to have been bitten by the nostalgia bug. They’re returning to watch the original theatrical films on HBO Max, revealing the unambiguous power of IP. HBO is producing the new series primarily because of the brand’s immense popularity, which could dwindle as its original fans outgrow it. The new show will presumably recruit younger audiences and take them on a decade-long journey with characters that the millennials grew up with. It will, however, also inspire cross-pollination on the HBO Max platform, as can be seen already with the impact that the trailer has had on the earlier Harry Potter movies.
The show will debut around Christmastime, and the plan is for each season to cover the events of one book. Series author J.K. Rowling wrote seven novels in total, although the final installment was broken into two parts for the film adaptation. Eight movies in total were released between 2001 and 2011, grossing approximately $7.7 billion worldwide and turning stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson into household names. The new series arrives in wildly different times, when Rowling isn’t as universally beloved as she used to be because of her perceived anti-trans views. However, HBO has made clear it wants her to be closely involved in the upcoming show, which is being touted as a more faithful adaptation of the books than the films were.

Shortly after the trailer launch, audiences pushed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone — the first film of the theatrical series — back into the domestic top 10 charts of VUDU and HBO Max, according to FlixPatrol. The show’s first season will cover the same story, and its trailer has already drawn comparisons — both favorable and unfavorable — to the first film. Widely acclaimed, the movie was directed by Chris Columbus. It grossed $1 billion worldwide against a reported budget of $125 million, and currently holds a “Certified Fresh” 80% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
