The modern Winter and Summer Olympics give athletes around the world the chance to bring their best feet forward.

So, naturally, the Olympics have produced some of the most nail-biting, heartwarming and controversial moments of all time.

As we gear up for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics kicking off today, (live coverage will begin at 2 p.m. EST, with the primetime event starting at 8 p.m. on NBC and Peacock), check out some vintage photos from past Games below.

President Donald Trump admonished CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins for not smiling enough as he spoke to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

The CNN journalist, the network's chief White House correspondent and anchor of the series *The Source with Kaitlan Collins*, had asked the president several questions about the Epstein files released Jan. 30.

He responded, saying the scandal was a "conspiracy against me" and that it was time for the country to move on, before he began talking about Collins' demeanor.

"You are so bad," Trump said. "You are the worst reporter. CNN has no ratings because of people like you."

Then the president looked around the bustling room and said, "You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on your face."

When Collins, who's 33, tried to explain that she was asking him about survivors of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Trump cut her off again.

"You know why you're not smiling?" he asked. "Because you know you're not telling the truth. And you're a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you."

Trump looked around the room to show that he was moving on to another question.

"These are survivors of a sexual abuser," Collins said.

"This is something where the survivors here have been at the center of this, and they have been the people who have said they're unhappy with what has come out of the Justice Department here so far," she said after the interaction, per Deadline. "I just spoke to one on Friday night who was saying that entire witness interviews with the FBI were redacted. The entire page was blacked out. And so these are real questions."**** Trump has been known to lash out at female reporters, such as in November 2025, when he infamously said, "Quiet. Quiet, piggy," to a journalist from Bloomberg News. She had also asked about the Epstein files, in which references to Trump appear.**

Whoopi Goldberg isn't letting anyone off the hook when it comes to the Jeffrey Epstein files.

*The View* moderator and EGOT-winning actress called out fellow women amid the slow release of millions of documents related to convicted child sex offender Epstein, the financier who died in prison in 2019 while serving time for his crimes.

"Not only did they protect each other, but we were complicit in all of this. We are complicit," Goldberg said Wednesday from her post on *The View*, as the cohosts alleged that powerful people named in the documents protected other powerful people from being exposed before the release of the files.

Panelist Joy Behar cut in to ask, "How?" before Goldberg assured her, "I'm going to tell you how. Women didn't say, 'Hey, don't do that. Don't stand up for that.' Women did not stand up for other women. Women saw what was going on and didn't say, 'Stop this.' They didn't come out and say this was going on."

Sunny Hostin then dropped the name of Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell — also currently in prison over her role in Epstein's dealings — as an example of a woman whose actions support Goldberg's point.**

Again, Behar cut in to clarify, "What do you mean 'we?'" she asked.

"I mean women. Listen, for years, men had the ability, men thought that it was okay to treat women this way," Goldberg told her colleague. "We see it on television all the time. And until we stand up, until women stand up and say, never again, not anymore."

The panelists praised the women leading the charge for justice for Epstein's multiple victims, including Bill Gates' ex-wife, Melinda Gates.

"They're standing up where other women are not, and that's the point here. Everybody has to take some responsibility for this, because unless you recognize what it meant, what they did to these girls, you're not going to care," Goldberg stressed. "It's important that you recognize what's going on here."

Numerous public figures have been named in the files — including *The Daily Show *host Jon Stewart, who clarified why on Monday's episode of the show.

"Of course, to get ahead of the story, I am also in the files," the 63-year-old told his audience, after his name was invoked in an email between Epstein and producer Barry Josephson, who suggested that "somebody like Jon Stewart could host/narrate the biographical part'" of a proposed Woody Allen comedy special envisioned by Epstein.

Goldberg and Behar earlier addressed currently unfounded rumors that *The View *cohosts were also named in the files, as they spoke to the audience during a July 2025 broadcast.

After Behar brought up allegations that "you and I" are on the list, she turned toward Goldberg, who joked to the audience, "Yes, we're on the list. We're on that list," before clarifying, "No, no, no! You're laughing, but we were placed on that list" by detractors.**

Savannah Guthrie's *Today* family is sharing their love and support amid the ongoing investigation into her mother's disappearance.

During Thursday's episode of the morning show, Guthrie's co-anchors Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones shared the latest updates on the case of Nancy Guthrie's possible abduction and took the opportunity to urge viewers in a call for "collective action," requesting that anyone with any information call it into the tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

"It was great seeing that kind of outpouring of love and support and prayer from people not just there in Tucson, but here in New York," Melvin said, highlighting the various candlelight vigils held in Nancy's honor. "And, you know, folks have been coming up over the last few days, just random folks off the streets."

The support from their *Today* community and fans is particularly poignant for Jones, who was recently the subject of that comfort after her husband, Uche Ojeh, died from an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma.

"It's almost hard to explain it but when there's collective prayer or thoughts, or whatever you do, it's almost like it carries you," the mother of three said. "And you feel supported and we feel like if you can't do it yourself, people will carry you."

That is how the *Today* show is lending their support to the Guthrie family, Jones shared. "We're wrapping our arms around their entire family and we're carrying them," she added.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen Saturday, when her children left her at her home in Tucson, Ariz. Both her three children and the Pima County Sheriff's Department have been searching for her since Sunday morning, when a church friend of Nancy's noticed she didn't attend service as usual and alerted the loved ones, who then searched themselves and contacted authorities.

In an emotional video shared to Guthrie's Instagram page on Wednesday, the journalist, along with her brother, Camron, and her sister, Annie, spoke directly to both their mother and to anyone responsible for her disappearance, pleading that they reach out to confirm that Nancy is still alive.

"Our mom is our heart and our home. She's 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer," the *Today* anchor said in the clip. "We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her."

She added, "We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us."

Guthrie shared a message to Nancy directly, saying: "Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God's precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that, even in this valley, he is with you. Everyone is looking for you, mommy. Everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We speak to you every moment, and we pray without ceasing. And we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again."

Camron reminded his mother to "stay strong."

The Pima County Sheriff's Department will hold a press conference on Thursday, 1 p.m. ET, to share updates on the investigation into Nancy's disappearance. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900.

*Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage* is staging a major family reunion.

* *has confirmed that *Young Sheldon*'s late father, Lance Barber, will return as George Cooper for an upcoming season 2 episode airing this spring.

While details are being kept under wraps as to how the deceased dad will appear, it's likely either in flashbacks or similarly to how he appeared in season 1, episode 12, when Georgie (Montana Jordan) saw visions of his father when he was sick. That storyline was inspired by creator Chuck Lorre's real experience of dreaming about his own father.

*Young Sheldon'*s beloved patriarch, George Sr., died of a heart attack near the conclusion of that *Big Bang Theory *prequel series, and his loss has loomed large throughout both spinoffs.

But it's not just George Sr. making an appearance. Season 2's 18th episode will also feature other *Young Sheldon* alums in guest roles, including Zoe Perry as Mary, Raegan Revord as Missy, Rex Linn as Principal Petersen, and Doc Farrow as Coach Wilkins.

They join previously announced *Young Sheldon* alum Annie Potts, who is also returning in *Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage* — albeit a few episodes sooner, as Connie a.k.a. Meemaw shows up in episode 15, airing April 9.

Meanwhile, Matthew Letscher will also return in episode 18 as Georgie's business rival, Fred Fagenbacher.

Jordan previously told EW that it was weird not seeing Barber at the head of the Cooper family dining room table in scenes. "It always is, man," he said in October 2025. "Anytime there's not a pile of food on the other end of the table, we know Lance is missing somewhere."

'Georgie & Mandy' returns to haunting site not seen since George Sr.'s death on 'Young Sheldon'

'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage' season 1 ending explained: Are Georgie and Mandy still married?

Montana Jordan as Georgie and Emily Osment as Mandy on 'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage'

But the *Georgie & Mandy* star loves getting to work with his *Young Sheldon* family again, any chance he gets.

"Anytime that we get to have any of the Cooper family back on set, it's always a blast," Jordan said. "We had a great family dynamic behind the scenes on that show, as we do on this show, so anytime we can bring them back, we're always welcoming them."

It's not rocket science, but here's a refresher for those who need it on the extended *Big Bang Theory *franchise*. Young Sheldon* told the story of the early years of Sheldon Cooper, the main character in *The Big Bang Theory*. Jim Parsons played Georgie's younger brother, Sheldon, on the hit flagship series from 2007 to 2019, before Iain Armitage took over the role as the prequel version on *Young Sheldon*. *Georgie & Mandy*, of course, now tells big brother Georgie's story.*****Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage* season 2 returns Thursday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

- Allen admitted that he was friends with Epstein in a 2025 interview, calling the late sex offender "charming and personable."

Soon-Yi Previn's correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein has been unsealed.

The wife of Woody Allen sent numerous emails to the late sex trafficker that were published as part of the millions of documents that were made public on Friday, following the Department of Justice's Epstein Files Transparency Act.

In one email exchange from January 2018, Previn forwarded Epstein an email that she'd previously sent to herself. The email contained the subject line, "Just as the Me Too movement has gone too far so has Botox."

Previn also sent Epstein a link to a *Daily Mail *article about disgraced New York congressman Anthony Weiner sexting a 15-year-old girl in September 2016. In her message, Previn blamed the teenage victim for the scandal.

"It's an incredible story. You have to feel sorry for him. He can't seem to learn," she wrote. "Most importantly I feel sorry for his wife. I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to Him. I hate women who take advantage of guys and she is definitely one of them. She knew exactly what she was doing and how vulnerable Wiener was and she reeled him in like fish to bait."

She continued, "We know he's sick but she's also sick to have done this to him. So manipulative on her part. She should be ashamed of herself."

Previn was adopted by actress Mia Farrow and her then-husband, André Previn, in 1978. She first met Allen when she was a child when Farrow began a romantic relationship with the *Annie Hall* filmmaker in 1980. Farrow and Allen ended their relationship after the actress discovered Allen's affair with Previn in the early 1990s. Previn and Allen married in 1997 and later adopted two daughters together.

Farrow accused Allen of sexually abusing their 7-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan, in 1992. Dylan repeated those allegations herself in 2013. In 2021, Mia and Dylan both participated in the documentary *Allen v. Farrow*, in which Dylan shared her allegations in full for the first time. Allen has repeatedly denied Dylan's allegations against him and has never been charged with a crime.

Allen admitted that he was friends with Epstein, calling the late sex offender "charming and personable" in a 2025 interview with U.K. outlet *The Sunday Times*.

"We would go, and there was always a table of illustrious people, college professors, scientists, Nobel laureates — accomplished people who were fun to listen to," Allen said of the dinner parties that he and Previn attended at Epstein's house. "We never, ever, saw Jeffrey with underage girls. He always had a girlfriend, but never an underage girlfriend."**

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A Bad Bunny look-alike contest at a San Francisco restaurant snowballed into a street party after hundreds of fans of the global superstar showed up to cheer his doppelgangers and sing along to his music ahead of his Super Bowl halftime show this weekend.

More than 30 contestants from across the Bay Area, including men with tight curly hair, women in wigs and fake facial hair and a kindergartener in a fedora, white tank top and bow tie, competed for a $100 prize at a packed Mexican restaurant in the Mission neighborhood.

They channeled the 31-year-old Puerto Rican singer through some of his signature looks, donning straw hats known as a "pava" and traditionally worn by Puerto Rican farmers, or a shearling aviator hat like the one the artist has worn at times since the release his 2025 album, "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos," which translates to "I should have taken more photos." It won album of the year at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.

Adam Fox, 24, and his friend Alejandro Kurt, 23, traveled from Belmont, a city about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of San Francisco, after both men with curly dark hair and dark facial hair were told they look like Bad Bunny.

Fox, an aspiring actor who wore a suit, bowtie, and dark sunglasses, said he is a fan of Bad Bunny's music even though he doesn't speak Spanish.

His music "is like art. You don't have to totally understand it. It could just be something that's beautiful," Fox said.

The contestants imitated Bad Bunny's "perreo," or twerking, and repeated his criticism of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign with one wnnabe-Bad Bunny in a wig and a black tuxedo holding an "ICE Out" sign as she danced through the packed Tacolicious restaurant to roaring cheers from the crowd.

But the artist's music remained the focus of the lookalike contest organized by Mission Loteria, a group that promotes Latino businesses, with people spilling out to the street where a DJ played Bad Bunny's most-loved tracks and some in costumes resembling the Puerto Rican crested toad, an endangered species that is featured in one of his music videos, danced with contestants.

Pamela Guo, 33, traveled from San Jose to compete in the contest dressed in an aviator hat, shorts and an athletic jacket. Guo, who had a painted-on beard, said she is such a fan of the singer that she traveled to Mexico City to see him in concert.

"I love to perrear and dance, so I do love that aspect of his music," she said, adding that his last album has deeper lyrics that speak to her because they talk about our shared humanity.

The grand prize went to Abdul Ramirez Arroyave, a professional Bad Bunny impersonator from Colombia, who was dressed in a red shirt and straw hat on top a tight curly hair wig.

When asked to say a few words after his win, he said "thanks for everything" then broke into song with the crowd singing along Bad Bunny's "Debi tirar mas fotos."

Ramirez Arroyave then joined the party outside and took photos with his new adoring fans.
