Lisa was hiding her smile. She felt her teeth were too warm in shade, too small, and worn down. One front tooth had chipped, and the composite filling in the other was worn down, creating a visible gap.

The dedicated wife and mother of three decided it was time to put herself first and headed to see Dr. Arthur Glosman.

The Beverly Hills-based cosmetic dentist talked with Lisa about her hopes and worries. By the end of her appointment, they landed on the following plan: a cleaning, teeth whitening for the lower teeth, and 10 porcelain veneers on the top teeth.

A country already on the receiving end of Donald Trump’s had just won Nobel bragging rights. Canadian author Anne Carson, 76, scooped the prestigious literature award Thursday, just 24 hours before the Nobel committee announces whether Trump will get his hands on the peace prize he’s spent years coveting. The Toronto-born poet received the $1.2 million honor for her experimental writing, which draws heavily on ancient Greek literature. Her celebrated works include Autobiography of Red, published in 1998. The Canadian triumph comes as Trump continues his bitter feud with America’s northern neighbor, which he has repeatedly threatened to annex while hammering its economy with tariffs. The president insisted on Wednesday that he still deserves to win the peace prize for supposedly ending eight wars, despite failing to convince the committee of his peacemaker-in-chief credentials last year and launching a prolonged conflict with Iran that has now lasted eight of the 12 months since.

Federal agents at a major Florida hub arrested an incoming traveler after noticing an “unexplained bulge” near his waistline and discovering a stash of 10 live songbirds hidden directly inside his undergarments. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers flagged traveler Alberto Hernandez Castillo as he arrived at Miami International Airport on a flight from Havana, Cuba on Sunday. Though Castillo had signed a declaration form marking “No” to bringing wildlife into the country, inspecting officers noticed he appeared nervous and sported a prominent, suspicious swelling around his groin and pelvis. A pat-down search inside a private room revealed six tape-wrapped plastic tubes stuffed into customized black pockets sewn into his underwear. Inside, agents recovered eight yellow-faced grassquits and two protected blue grosbeaks. When caught, Castillo claimed the feathered cargo was for “personal use” before going silent and pleading the Fifth. Facing federal charges for smuggling goods without clearance, prosecutors recommended a $25,000 bond ahead of his Oct. 26 court date.

A Montana teen found her long-lost sister on the opposing side of a softball match. Samantha Rensvold had known she was adopted and had a younger biological sister somewhere. But due to closed adoption, she had no idea where she was or what she looked like. During a tournament game in August 2025, a teammate noticed an opposing player who looked strikingly like the 19-year-old. Rensvold initially stayed quiet until her mother looked at the roster and found the girl’s name, Kyann Dean, which matched the name Rensvold’s birth mother had given her. “My mom was like, ‘That has to be your sister. That’s not a coincidence,’” Rensvold told People. At a following game, the girls’ families compared details and the information lined up. The sisters, now attending colleges in different states, stay in touch and, Rensvold said, Dean recently visited her and her family.

You’re moving more, lifting heavier, and eating better, yet the scale isn’t budging. You could invest in a professional DEXA scan, which analyzes not only your weight but also your lean muscle mass, BMI, and other factors like water retention that may be keeping the scale stagnant. Unfortunately, a DEXA scan can cost up to $300 for one session. Hume Body Pod, on the other hand, is the next best thing—and you can use it in your own bathroom.

It’s not just a smart scale. The Hume Body Pod is a full-body scanner that delivers over 45 metrics like muscle mass, body fat, hydration levels, and metabolic age in under 90 seconds. Standard smart scales just measure your lower body, but the Hume Body Pod directly scans your entire body using clinical-grade technology to deliver readings with 98 percent accuracy compared to a DEXA scan, according to Hume Health.

Margaret Hamilton, the trailblazing computer scientist whose software was crucial in putting the first astronauts on the moon, has died at age 90. Hamilton led the software engineering team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for NASA’s Apollo program. She is credited with popularizing the term “software engineering” through her work and with saving the Apollo 11 mission. In 1969, just minutes before the spacecraft was due to land on the moon, Apollo 11’s onboard computer started flashing alarms indicating an error. Mission Control was debating whether to abort the entire landing. However, the software that Hamilton and her team built came to the rescue, telling the onboard computer to prioritize essential tasks—the landing itself—and canceling less important ones as part of its recovery mechanism. “If the computer hadn’t recognized this problem and taken recovery action, I doubt if Apollo 11 would have been the successful moon landing it was,” Hamilton wrote in 1971. Hamilton’s software engineering work was immortalized in an iconic photo of her standing next to a tower of books of code used in the Apollo 11 mission. Barack Obama awarded Hamilton the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016.

“Real Housewives” star Whitney Rose, 40, has filed for divorce from her husband of 16 years, Justin Rose, 58. Page Six reports that the divorce paperwork has already been filed in a Salt Lake City court. In July, a source revealed the couple had been “living separate lives.” “They are never together, even when they’re in the same place, like the gym,” the insider told Page Six. Whitney and Justin have both expressed “frustrations” about their marriage and were just staying together “for the sake of the kids,” one source said. The two are parents to daughter Bobbie, 16, and son Brooks, 13. Justin also has three sons from a previous marriage. On a recent episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Whitney got emotional while telling Justin she was “in pain” after a “really rough” 2025, confessing, “I was using alcohol to cope with my struggles at home.” She later admitted on the show that “disagreeing and arguing about the business snowballed into arguing about everything,” adding that “space away from Justin” is what she needed.

A passenger at John Wayne Airport sparked a bizarre airfield chase Tuesday night after allegedly stealing a vehicle used to tow aircraft. The incident began around 5:30 p.m. in Orange County, California, when a man waiting to board a Delta Air Lines flight to Seattle left the terminal and entered the airfield, according to an airport spokesperson. He allegedly took an Alaska Airlines tug used to move aircraft and drove it across the airport grounds before crashing into another vehicle. The man then reportedly attempted to steal an American Airlines lavatory truck, but airport police caught up with him before he could take it. Paramedics transported the suspect to a hospital for injuries sustained in the crash. The chaotic episode briefly disrupted airport operations, but normal activity resumed soon afterward. Authorities have not disclosed what prompted the passenger to leave the terminal or allegedly take the airport vehicles.

The Beach Boys have canceled another planned comeback show, after calling off or postponing dozens of stops on their America’s Band Tour. The group was set to return to the stage this week at the Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington, Illinois, until a social media post from the venue announced on Tuesday that the concert was “canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.” The Beach Boys’ last public performance was in Valdosta, Georgia, in July. Days later, the band postponed nearly 30 shows to allow 85-year-old vocalist and original Beach Boy Mike Love time to “recharge.” They also delayed a series of shows the month before while Love suffered from an unspecified illness. The band performed at a private event in California this week. Videos of the gig show Love performing while seated. For now, the Beach Boys’ upcoming concerts at Cincinnati’s PNC Pavilion on October 10 and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on October 11 are still scheduled.

From red light therapy caps to topical serums, there’s no shortage of over-the-counter products promising to support thicker, fuller-looking hair. Of course, if you’re experiencing sudden or significant shedding, it’s always best to consult your doctor or dermatologist to rule out an underlying cause. But for those looking to support healthy hair growth from the inside out, supplements have become an increasingly popular addition to the at-home arsenal. After all, nutrition plays an important role in both the hair growth cycle and overall scalp and follicle health.

O Positiv has built a loyal following around its female-focused supplements, including its popular URO vaginal probiotics and FLO PMS vitamins, and now the women-owned brand is bringing that same approach to hair care. Its latest launch, URO Hair Growth Capsules, is a clinically backed daily supplement designed to help support hair growth and volume while reducing the appearance of thinning in as little as 90 days.

O Positiv URO Hair Growth + Volume Daily Capsules

The formula combines familiar hair-supporting nutrients like biotin, iron, folate, and vitamin B12 with Serevelle, the brand’s proprietary botanical complex designed to help address DHT, a hormone linked with certain types of hair loss, and support a longer hair-growth phase. Rather than focusing on just one potential contributor to thinning, URO Hair Growth takes a more multifaceted approach.

Unlike other hair growth ingestibles, the daily capsules stand out because it also contains holy basil, an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to support the body’s response to stress. Prolonged physical or emotional stress can disrupt the normal hair-growth cycle and contribute to increased shedding, making them a great addition. For those who want a more inside-out approach to thinning (or to complement serums, scalp treatments, and high-tech devices), URO Hair Growth Capsules offer another option to add to your lineup.

An American Airlines flight from Madrid to Dallas-Fort Worth was diverted to New York after six of the Boeing 777’s eight toilets stopped working mid-flight. Flight 37 was carrying 287 people Tuesday when the crew decided the remaining two toilets were not enough for the transatlantic journey. As the plane approached JFK, the pilot told air traffic control: “We have only two potties operating on board.” The controller confirmed: “You said only two potties. Is that right?” “That’s affirmative,” the pilot replied. The crew declared “pan-pan,” signaling an urgent situation that is not life-threatening. The aircraft also had more than four hours of fuel remaining, leaving it above its normal landing weight. The plane landed safely at JFK, where it remained for more than three hours before continuing to Dallas, according to FlightAware. The cause of the lavatory failures remains unclear.

A member of the group that kidnapped Patty Hearst in the 1970s has died. Bill Harris, a Vietnam War veteran, died at a San Francisco hospital last month after suffering a heart attack, his second wife, defense lawyer Rebecca Young, confirmed. He was 81 years old. Harris was a member of the far-left Symbionese Liberation Army. Along with his first wife, Emily Harris, he helped plot the group’s kidnapping of Hearst, a newspaper heiress, in 1974. Hearst went on to participate in a bank robbery with other members of the organization. She later insisted she had only joined the group out of fear that Harris and others would kill her if she did not, which Harris disputed. Hearst was convicted over the heist, but her sentence was later commuted before President Bill Clinton pardoned her. After serving eight years for Hearst’s kidnapping, Harris divorced his first wife, Emily, and went on to work as a private investigator. He married his second wife, Young, in 1988. They had two children together. In 2003, he was convicted in relation to the 1975 killing of a woman during a hold-up in Sacramento, and served another four years in prison.
