The stars of Love Island USA Season 8 are back together, bringing plenty of glamour and excitement as the cast gathered in Los Angeles ahead of the upcoming reunion special.

The Islanders stepped onto the red carpet for the highly anticipated Season 8 reunion, giving fans their first major look at the cast since the conclusion of the Fiji villa. Among those photographed at the event were Melanie Moreno, Corbin Mims, Titi Davis, Caleb McDaniel, Sol Dean and Zach Georgiou, alongside several other familiar faces from the season.

The reunion comes after a season filled with romance, unexpected recoupling, Casa Amor drama and plenty of twists that kept viewers talking throughout the summer.

Other former Islanders also made appearances, promising plenty of conversations beyond the show’s final couples.

The reunion was taped in Universal City on August 10, following cast arrivals and red-carpet festivities. Hosts Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen are set to lead the special, which will explore what happened after the Islanders left Fiji and give cast members a chance to address some of the season’s biggest moments.

Emergency Declared in Colombia Following Powerful 7.4 Quake and Building Collapses, Killing at least 111 people.

A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia at 7:34 a.m. local time, centered near San José del Palmar in the Chocó department. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the tremor originated at a depth of 107 kilometers, yet its intense horizontal shaking triggered extensive destruction across the country’s western valleys and primary coffee-growing region.

At least 111 people are confirmed dead, more than 600 others are injured, and thousands remain unaccounted for. The highest casualties are concentrated in the Risaralda province and the city of Cali, where over 2,000 residents have already been logged on digital missing-persons databases.

More than 60 multi-story buildings have completely collapsed, and over 1,600 structures report severe damage. Notable impacts include the disintegration of the passenger terminal ceiling at the Pereira Airport and the collapse of a prominent historic spire at the Manizales Cathedral.

President Abelardo de la Espriella has declared a national state of emergency to bypass bureaucratic delays, fast-track emergency disaster funds, and deploy full military and civil defense assets. Local residents and emergency crews are currently working side-by-side, forming massive human chains to clear heavy concrete debris by hand.

The civil aviation authority, Aeronautica Civil, has completely suspended commercial operations at six major regional airports, including Cali, Pereira, and Buenaventura. Runways are strictly limited to incoming military supply planes, search-and-rescue canine units, and emergency medical evacuation flights.

Sosa Drives in Three, Painter Flirts with No-Hitter in Phillies Victory!

Edmundo Sosa drove in three runs and top pitching prospect Andrew Painter carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Monday night at Busch Stadium. Facing a heavily depleted and exhausted bullpen, the Phillies leaned on their young right-hander to deliver a deep outing. Painter rose to the challenge, keeping the Cardinals hitless through the first 5.1 innings.

The Phillies offense backed their starter early. In the second inning, Brandon Marsh singled and scored on a throwing error by Cardinals starter Hunter Dobbins. Edmundo Sosa quickly capitalized, slapping an RBI single to give Philadelphia a 2-0 cushion. Kyle Schwarber, who reached base four times on the night, extended the lead by scoring in the fifth after a walk and later driving home Garrett Stubbs with an RBI double in the seventh.

Painter (2-8) commanded the mound with six strikeouts but finally ran out of steam in the bottom of the sixth after throwing 93 pitches. Iván Herrera broke up the no-hit bid with a one-out double. Alec Burleson followed with a two-run single that chased Painter from the game, cutting the Phillies’ lead to 3-2. Reliever Alan Rangel stepped up to record the final two outs of the inning, safely preserving the slim lead.

Sosa provided crucial insurance in the top of the eighth, crushing a two-run double to push the score to 6-2. The three-RBI performance marked Sosa’s most productive night at the plate since late June.

The insurance proved necessary as the Cardinals launched a furious late-inning comeback against Rangel in the bottom of the eighth. An RBI double by Burleson, followed by run-scoring hits from Masyn Winn and José Fermín, quickly dragged St. Louis within one run. Rangel managed to escape further damage by stranding runners on second and third.

With the primary high-leverage arms unavailable, manager Don Mattingly turned to Jonathan Bowlan in the ninth. Bowlan slammed the door to secure his first save in four opportunities, closing out the nail-biting 6-5 victory. The win marks Philadelphia’s second straight victory and their seventh in the last ten games.

O’Hare and Midway Grounded by Sever Weather.

A wave of intense summer thunderstorms ripped through northern Illinois, triggering massive flight disruptions and forcing federal aviation officials to halt all air traffic at Chicago’s two major airports.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued mandatory ground stops for both O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport as severe weather brought heavy downpours, high winds, and frequent lightning to the metropolitan area. Under the FAA order, all planes bound for Chicago were forced to remain parked at their departure cities, creating an immediate, nationwide ripple effect that left thousands of travelers stranded at terminal gates across the country.

The weather gridlock caused O’Hare to briefly rank number one globally for the worst flight delays, with average wait times on the tarmac stretching over 100 minutes even after the weather cleared and the ground stops were officially lifted. Major carriers operating out of Chicago, including United Airlines and American Airlines, bore the brunt of the storm’s impact, reporting hundreds of delayed arrivals and widespread cancellations. To assist impacted passengers, airlines have issued travel alerts and flexible fee waivers to allow travelers to rebook their flights without penalties.

While airport operations have since resumed and crews are working to clear the backlog, aviation experts warn that scheduling delays will likely spill over into the coming days. Passengers traveling through or connecting in Chicago are strongly urged to check their flight status online before heading to the terminal.

Howard and Reese Rewrite Record Books in Win Over Tempo

Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream picked up a 107-95 win against the Toronto Tempo on Monday.

The Atlanta Dream firmly established their regular season supremacy on Monday night, subduing the Toronto Tempo 107-95 to complete a flawless 4-0 seasonal sweep. The high-octane victory at Gateway Center Arena was propelled by individual historical milestones from newly named Team USA World Cup teammates Rhyne Howard and Angel Reese.

Reese put together a solid game, posting 20 points, 14 rebounds, a steal and a block on 7-of-14 from the field and 1-of-3 from deep. Reese also notched a bit of history; her final defensive board secured her 22nd double-double of the year.This officially snapped the previous franchise benchmark for the most double-doubles in a single Atlanta Dream season. Furthermore, Reese sits just seven double-doubles away from breaking the all-time WNBA single-season record (28) with 12 games remaining.

Howard also made history in the win as she finished with 22 points and seven assists.

Jordin Canada put together a nice game with 20 points, nine assists and six boards, and Allisha Gray added 15.

Tempo star Marina Mabrey led the way for Toronto with a game-high 36 points, but that wasn’t enough on a night where only one other starter was in double figures.

With the win on Monday, Atlanta improved to 20-12, which moves the Dream to fifth place in the WNBA standings. They’re also now tied with the fourth-placed Indiana Fever.

The Dream have won seven of their last nine as they head into a road matchup against the Connecticut Sun on Thursday.

The Tempo, meanwhile, simply could not keep up with the Dream’s elite velocity and dropped to 10-22 as they continue to struggle in their first season as a WNBA franchise.

Will We Ever Stop Changing Our Clocks? Trump Pushes to Lock the Clock Permanently.

The House has approved the bill, but a ticking clock in the Senate stands between Americans and endless evening sunshine.

The long-standing legislative debate over U.S. time zones has reached a critical juncture. President Donald Trump has publicly aligned with lawmakers pushing to make daylight saving time permanent, calling on the Senate to finalize the Sunshine Protection Act. The issue has uniquely unified elements of both parties, culminating in a swift 308–117 approval in the House of Representatives. Trump noted that the disruption of switching time configurations twice a year costs millions of dollars in logistical adjustments for various cities and states.

Supporters of the legislation point to a wide array of societal benefits, ranging from public safety to health. The administration highlights that extended evening daylight reduces pedestrian accidents, deters crime, and provides families with more time to spend outdoors together. Tourism and recreation industries also heavily favor the change due to the economic boost provided by longer evening operational hours.

While many experts support ending the clock changes, they don’t necessarily agree with Trump’s preferred approach.

Sleep and health researchers say moving clocks twice a year disrupts the body’s circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep and other biological functions. The spring time change, when clocks move forward an hour, has been linked to sleep disruption, traffic crashes and increased health risks.

But many specialists argue permanent standard time, not permanent daylight saving time, would be the healthier option.

Erik Herzog, a biology and neuroscience professor at Washington University in St. Louis and former president of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms, previously told USA TODAY that permanent standard time would better align with the body’s natural clock.

Public opinion polls suggest many Americans have grown tired of the twice-yearly ritual.

A 2023 YouGov survey found 62% favored eliminating clock changes. A January 2025 Gallup poll found 54% wanted to end the practice, though Americans were divided over whether the nation should adopt permanent daylight saving time or permanent standard time.

For now, the annual fall clock change remains on the schedule. Unless Congress acts quickly after returning from recess, Americans should still expect to turn their clocks back on Nov. 1.

Despite the executive push, the bill faces immediate legislative roadblocks. The Senate is on recess until September 14, leaving a narrow window to pass the measure before the upcoming November 1 deadline. Furthermore, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other key members from agricultural states have expressed hesitation, citing the risks that later winter sunrises pose to farmers and school children walking in the dark. Whether the Senate will align with the White House or let the bill expire remains the central question on Capitol Hill.
