14 Figure Skaters Killed in American Airlines Plane Crash: 'Lost Family'
The figure skating world is dealing with a major loss after American Airlines flight 5342 crashed with multiple members of the community onboard.
During a Thursday, January 30, press conference, The Skating Club of Boston’s CEO, Doug Zeghibe, said “to the best of our knowledge, 14 skaters returning home” from the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships in Wichita, Kansas, were killed in the Wednesday, January 29, crash.
Zeghibe explained “we have lost family” and explained that the tragedy will have “long-reaching impacts for our skating community.”
The Skating Club of Boston sent 18 athletes to compete at the National Championships in Wichita. In a statement released on Thursday, Zeghibe revealed six members of the Club’s community had been killed in the crash: 16-year-old figure skaters Spencer Lane and Jinna Han, their respective mothers, Christine Lane and Jin Han, and coaches Vadim Naumov and Evengenia Shishkova.

Naumov and Shishkova, who were married, were the 1994 world champions in pairs. The couple shared a son, Max, who competed and finished fourth in the men’s event in Wichita, but he left on Monday, January 27, while his parents stayed in Kansas to coach at the U.S. Figure Skating national development camp.
“Our sport and this Club have suffered a horrible loss with this tragedy,” the Skating Club’s statement read. “Skating is a tight-knit community where parents and kids come together 6 to 7 days a week to train and work together. Everyone is like family. Of the skaters, coaches and parents on the plane, we believe six were from The Skating Club of Boston. We are devastated and completely at a loss for words.”

The statement continued, “These athletes, coaches and parents were returning from U.S. Figure Skating’s National Development Camp, following last week’s U.S. Championships in Wichita. This camp is for young competitive skaters of tomorrow with the most promise to be a champion of tomorrow. The Club sent 18 athletes to compete at the U.S. Championships. It sent 12 athletes to the National Development Camp.”
In a statement provided by U.S. Figure Skating to news outlet WUSA9 on Thursday, the organization confirmed “several members of our skating community were sadly aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a helicopter yesterday evening in Washington, D.C.”
Sixty passengers and four crew members were onboard the flight, which collided with an Army helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport and fell into the Potomac River. There are not believed to be any survivors.
15 Trendy Cardigans That Will Solve Your ‘I Have Nothing to Wear’ Dilemma
As someone who works from home, I spend more days typing away in pajamas than I care to admit. But on the off chance that I do need to get dressed (be it for a meeting or a mid-day appointment), I find myself reaching for one stylish piece in particular: A trusty cardigan. No matter what I’ve got going on with my bottom half, this sweater style is key to making me look and feel more put together. I’ll spruce up jeans with colorful options, keep things cozy in long duster styles and balance out bold skirts with basic yet classic knits. A cardigan is 100% essential to my year-round wardrobe, solving a variety of fashion dilemmas, and if your own closet could use one (or two), now is the time to hop on the trend.
Amazon is stocked with top-notch, fashion-forward options that’ll transform even your laziest, throw-on-and-go outfits into something special. Ahead, I’ve rounded up 15 trendy cardigans that are worth adding to your wardrobe, ASAP.
15 Trendy Cardigans
1. The Everday Option: I’ve been wearing (and constantly washing) this loose-fitting, slightly cropped pick since the day it arrived last fall. The soft, chunky knit design has really held up and is easy to slip on. Plus, the buttery yellow color really makes my outfits stand out — even if I’m just wearing jeans.
2. Sleek and Simple: Trendy Queen already makes the best hoodie on Amazon, and naturally, the same brand has a spectacular, simple cardigan in its collection, too. The classic crewneck design gives off polished, sophisticated vibes and comes in seven different colors.
3. Bow-Embellished: The bow trend isn’t going anywhere, but rather than choosing something extra cutesy, go the subtle route with this knit that includes a few low-key ties down the front.
4. The Winter Go-To: Chilly days call for classic knits, and Dokotoo’s Casual Cardigan is not only soft and warm but extremely versatile. While you can easily work it into your stylish winter fits, you might just find yourself pairing it with PJs while cozying up on the couch.
5. Long and Luxe: The best thing about duster cardigans is that they feel like blankets but give off rich mom vibes. I can picture some dramatic character played by Nicole Kidman rocking this Chouyatou sweater, and I love the contrasting stripe detail, which really makes it pop.
6. A Designer Lookalike: FindThy’s heart cardigan looks eerily similar to a handful of pricier picks — including one that’s over $400. Considering this Amazon alternative is under $30, I’d say that’s a steal!
7. Not-So-Simple: If your wardrobe could use a dose of fun, add this cable-knit cardigan to cart. Not only does it feature eye-catching embroidery throughout, but the top-notch quality has earned it a 4.7-star rating. “This sweater not only fits well, it’s beautifully made,” one reviewer wrote. “Warm and comfortable, and one look and you gotta smile! Love this sweater.”
8. Slim-Fitting: Yes, it’s easy to reach for an oversized cardigan, but don’t miss out on this form-fitting alternative. It’s sort of a hybrid between a sweater and a shirt, which means you can throw it on in a pinch to take your outfit to the next level.
9. Vintage-Like: The stripes! The gold buttons! Did you score this Anrabess sweater at an estate sale, or did you pay less than $40 on Amazon? The world will never know!
10. Celebrity-Inspired: If you admire the effortlessly chic style of Angelina Jolie, scoop up a dark gray cardigan from Merokeety. It looks super similar to a sweater the actress wore back in December!
11. Nautical Vibes: Sailor-inspired looks were all over the spring 2025 runways, and while we still have a few months to go before the warm weather arrives, it won’t hurt to add a striped sweater into your rotation now. I’m feeling the red colorway, but classic navy is a great choice, too!
12. Complete With a Collar: Not all cardigans would be considered statement pieces, but this design, which features a ruffled collar, falls into that category. Even if you wear it with flared leggings, you’ll have created a cool, fun ensemble that will earn plenty of compliments.
13. Chunky and Cozy: Over 1,800 people have given the Zesica Popcorn Cardigan a 5-star rating — and for good reason. “I’m so surprised at how versatile this sweater is,” one happy shopper wrote. “The Mocha color actually works with so many things.
The material is so soft but not too chunky. The length hits me mid-thigh. The drop shoulders are so comfy and flattering. I wear this as loungewear, daily errands, over even a dress. Absolutely one of my best purchases this year.”
14. Color Block: Skip basic black and shades of gray in favor of a muted green, color block cardigan from Shenhe. The mix of multiple shades will make you stand out and the lantern sleeves provide an extra trendy twist.
15. A Coat: A cardigan coat is the ultimate office staple, pulling together structured staples and giving them some flair. Style it like you would a blazer or wear it as a light jacket once the warm weather arrives.

Dwyane Wade Says He Had '40 Percent' of Kidney Removed for Cancerous Tumor
Dwyane Wade was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in late 2023, which required surgery to remove.
“This past calendar year was probably the first time in my life [that was] unexpected,” Wade, 43, said on the Thursday, January 30, episode of his “The Why” podcast. “When you go through physical elements that you can’t feel, you can’t see because I’m an athlete who’s been pretty healthy. … Post-retirement, you don’t get those same checkups [or] physicals.”
According to Wade, he “took a few years off” annual appointments and only saw a doctor after turning 40.
“I went in and I was like, ‘Doc, I want to know everything about my body head to toe. I got some things that I’m feeling. I got some stomach issues,’” Wade recalled. “In that process of checking the certain cramps that I feel at the time, checking why my piss is coming out slow [and] why my stream isn’t powerful [and] why it’s a little weak, I’m asking these questions now because my father went through something.”

Wade subsequently underwent a full-body scan, which indicated “that there was something on [his] right kidney.”
“I didn’t go in for my kidney, and so what I had on my kidney was a tumor,” the retired NBA star recalled. “It was [something] that could be biopsied, that they could surgically remove.”
Wade’s doctor then informed him that he needed kidney surgery to take out the tumor. After getting a second opinion, Wade made the “personal decision” to go under the knife to avoid cancer spreading inside his body.
“I made a decision to have surgery on December 18, 2023,” Wade said. “My father was there to walk me into the hospital. My wife [Gabrielle Union] was there when I woke up. There’s only two people you can have in hospital.”
He added, “Obviously, at 41 years old, [I’m a] pretty healthy guy that did have cancer. Thank God that I did do the surgery because the tumor was cancerous. So, I have one kidney and I have another kidney that is [at] 60 percent. They took 40 percent of my kidney to make sure they can get all the cancer off it.”
According to Wade, his surgery was likely the first time that his family and his children “saw [him] weak.” (Wade shares children Zaire, 22, and Zaya, 17, with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches, son Xavier, 10, with ex Aja Metoyer and daughter Kaavia, 6, with wife Union, 52.)
“That moment was probably the weakest point I’ve ever felt in my life,” he said. “The moments I was by myself, I was struggling. One thing you never want to do as a man … is [for] your family to see you weak. It’s tough.”

Wade further shared that he was “fortunate” that his family “jumped in” to help his recovery.
“I saw everybody show up for me and be there for me,” Wade said. “In that process of my weakness, I found strength in my family, in my friends, in my group.”
Wade has since recovered and made a vow “to do things differently” in his life.
“I came out of that and I’ve been doing things differently and I’ve been attacking life that way. I’m not waiting,” he concluded.

Patti Smith Says She’s ‘Fine’ After Stage Collapse Reports
Punk rock legend Patti Smith has updated fans on her health following reports that she collapsed on stage in Brazil.
“This is letting everyone know that I am fine,” she wrote via Instagram on Thursday, January 30. “A grossly exaggerated account is being spread by the press and social media.”
Smith, 78, was beginning a headlining set with experimental music group Soundwalk Collective at the Teatro Cultura Artística in São Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday, January 29, when she collapsed on stage, according to TMZ.
The singer was reportedly reading a spoken-word statement about climate change when she experienced a health emergency and was soon ushered off stage.
According to local reports, Smith eventually returned to the stage in a wheelchair to tell fans she felt “very badly” and would not be cleared by her doctor to perform a full show. Instead, Smith sang two acapella tracks before ending the event early.

Smith later explained on Instagram that “post migraine dizziness” led to “a small incident” that had been blown out of proportion in the media.
“I was checked out by an excellent Doctor and was absolutely fine,” she wrote. “Please do not accept any other story. With all the strife in the world, this explainable incident does not merit so much attention. Thank you everyone for your concern. Trust me I am fine.”

Her collaborators Soundwalk Collective posted a statement signed by Smith via their Instagram Story to confirm that she would be back on stage for a second scheduled performance at the Cultura Artística Theater on Thursday.
“Patti has suffered from an intense migraine the past couple days and had some dizziness on stage but she still wanted to be there for all of us and you and perform today,” the statement read. “She is now being cared for by the best doctors in the most loving way and will be back on stage [on Thursday].”
Soundwalk Collective thanked those in attendance for their “beautiful energy and [their] supportive presence” in light of events.

“Patti says she is tremendously grateful for your patience and forgiveness and she sends her love to all who attended,” the group added.
The rock legend is set to be honored at the Music Of Patti Smith concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on March 26 to benefit music education for underserved youth.
Former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, The National’s Matt Berninger and Sharon Van Etten are among more than 20 artists who will perform Smith’s influential music at this tribute show.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee will then appear at a free Poet’s Voice event at the Greenwich Library in Connecticut on April 12 where she will reflect on her work as a poet, singer, songwriter and fine artist over the past 50 years.
The four-time Grammy nominee’s groundbreaking 1975 album Horses was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2021. She was previously given the prestigious Polar Music Prize in 2011 for her contributions to both poetry and rock music.

Last year, Smith thanked Taylor Swift for referencing her alongside acclaimed poet Dylan Thomas in The Tortured Poets Department’s title track.
“This is saying I was moved to be mentioned in the company of the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas,” she wrote on Instagram. “Thank you, Taylor.”

Will Smith Drops New Single, Announces 1st Album in 20 Years
Will Smith is marking his return to music with a brand-new single and album.
The Grammy winner released a fresh track with Big Sean on Thursday, January 30, titled “Beautiful Scars.”
Produced by OmArr and LeXoskeleton, the track explores the pains of fame and learning from one’s mistakes. Both Smith, 56, and Big Sean, 36, trade raps echoing off one another as they recall becoming stronger through their mistakes or “beautiful scars.”
“It’s the beautiful scars, yeah / It’s the beautiful flaws, yeah,” Big Sean raps in the chorus. “I done fell about a million times / Now I rise up again closer to God / It’s the beautiful scars, yeah / It’s the beautiful flaws, yeah.”

“Beautiful Scars” is expected to be featured on Smith’s forthcoming album, Based on a True Story, which is slated to be released in March.
The body of work will mark Smith’s first album in more than 20 years and will feature previously released singles including “You Can Make It,” “Work of Art” and “Tantrum.”
When celebrating the release of “Beautiful Scars” earlier this week, Smith explained how the track came to be.
“The idea of ‘Beautiful Scars’ is just one of the things that really popped through for me as such a value to recognize that a difficulty, an adversity, a challenge, an obstacle is hard and painful in the moment but what you’re going through can turn out to be the greatest thing that has ever happened,” Smith told radio host Enrique Santos during an iHeartRadio Live event on Wednesday, January 29. “What starts out as an adversity can turn into a beautiful stepping stone.”

Smith also revealed he met Big Sean during a promo event for the Peacock series Bel Air. The pair quickly bonded after listening to “Work of Art.”
Previously, Smith offered a glimpse into his music journey. While some fans may speculate that the new songs came quickly, the actor explained that inspiration came over a long period of time.
“In the last couple of years, I’ve been really deep-dive soul searching more than almost any point in my life. I’ve found a new well,” he shared in October 2024 during “An Evening With Will Smith” event at the Grammy Museum. “There’s like a well of authenticity that I’m trying to tap into the most honest and authentic space within me and things are coming out that are very different than anything I would’ve done in the past.”
