Olympics, Courts, and Hockey: News Heats Up!

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni failed to reach a settlement in a sexual harassment lawsuit, following a day-long mediation in federal court on Wednesday, according to Variety. The co-stars of "It Ends With Us" entered the New York courthouse on Friday morning and spent much of the day in separate courtrooms.

Meanwhile, the United States court system in Minnesota is facing immense pressure due to an influx of cases related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, as reported by Wired. Since December, when Operation Metro Surge began, federal immigration agents arrested approximately 4,000 people, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This has led to an unprecedented number of habeas corpus petitions filed in the US district court in Minnesota, nearly equaling the total filed across the entire US in a year, Wired's review of court records and judicial statistics revealed.

In other news, the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina are generating excitement, particularly in the world of sports. The Crave show "Heated Rivalry," which follows the story of closeted pro hockey rivals-turned-lovers, has captivated audiences worldwide, according to Wired. HBO, which acquired the show for US distribution, is broadcasting it in over a dozen countries, with viewership more than doubling.

The Olympics will also feature notable athletes, including 22-year-old Eileen Gu, a freestyle skier who has amassed four Olympic medals. According to Forbes, Gu earned $23.1 million last year, making her the fourth-highest-paid woman in sports. Gu, who is also a Stanford University student, encourages young people to pursue their goals without delay, stating, "You can do it all now," according to Time.

Another athlete making headlines is Rich Ruohonen, a 54-year-old personal injury attorney and the alternate on the U.S. men's Olympic curling team. The Wall Street Journal reported that Ruohonen, who is also the oldest American to ever compete at the Winter Olympics, is known for his supportive role within the team, cooking meals and contributing financially.
