It’s safe to say many reality programs from the early 2000s can stay dead in the past. But others could thrive in today’s pop culture. So what if we brought them back? Below, we’ll explore four programs from the 2000s that we would love to see make a modern comeback. 1. Mob Wives Mob Wives ruled the 2010s alongside Jersey Shore and were quintessential viewing for teens. The women—wives and daughters of the Italian American Mob—weren’t afraid to get real and honest with each other. Big Ang—the glue that held everyone together and a comedic relief—and Drita D’Avanzo—a spitfire who was loyal as hell—became instant favorites. Although the show ended in 2016, it’s maintained a cult following that would love to see it rebooted. In fact, there’s talk that it may happen in the future. “Networks reached out to me last year wanting a reboot, but they wanted a different show,” Jennifer Graziano told E! News. “They didn’t want the same old—and I don...

Six Flags Magic Mountain has long been home to X2, an infamously intense roller coaster that has been injuring people for years. You’d think reputation alone would get the ride shut down and revamped with new safety measures, but apparently everyone involved needed to see just how bad it could get before changes were made. It got sufficiently bad in July, when two riders suffered brain injuries normally associated with high-speed car crashes. CNN investigated the incidents and dove into the long history of X2’s reported injuries. X2 launches riders nearly 200 feet into the air at speeds nearing 80 miles an hour while their seats are rotating 360 degrees. Pamela Guillen allegedly lost consciousness after repeatedly hitting her head against the seat’s headrest as she rode X2 this past July. She needed emergency surgery to repair the subdural hematoma and brain compression she had been experiencing. Just six days later, a different woman, Naomi Greer-Wilkinson, alleged...

A study that collected 11 years’ worth of data from 183,000 adults, with findings published in npj Mental Health Research , found something studies keep finding again and again: The more we’re on it, the worse our mental health. How much is too much? The researchers say there is an upper time limit you should try to avoid unless you want your brain to unravel into a depression spiral. About 150 minutes a day . Researchers from the University of Cincinnati and Northwestern University analyzed surveys from American adults ages 18 to 70 collected between 2014 and 2024. Social media use consistently ranked as one of the strongest predictors of self-reported depression, only becoming an even more prominent predictor in the surveys’ latter years. More Than 2.5 Hours of Social Media a Day May Be a Mental Health Red Flag When people crossed the threshold of 2 ½ hours of daily social media use, depression rose, and continued to rise by about 17 percent with every addition...

The hard part of this week comes early and it comes fast — Saturn squaring Mars hits exact Tuesday, and whatever has been requiring force from you is going to require the most of it right then. That’s not comfortable, stargazer, but it’s also not the whole story. Saturn trine Jupiter goes exact Monday, structural optimism delivered on the same week the pressure peaks. These two things are happening in the same breath, and one of them is yours to use. The week’s second half opens up considerably — Moon moving through Gemini then into Cancer by Saturday, no new exact aspects, the major pressure winding down into something that actually lets you breathe and think. Whatever you push through early, you get to sit with by the end of it. That’s a decent arrangement. Go hard at the front, then trust the back half to be what it needs to be. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 You’ve spent most of the month running...

Just after receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2020, Burt Ward—who played Robin on the 1960s Batman TV series —decided to have a little chat with Page Six about his apparently massive penis, for whatever reason. As Ward explained back then, he’d gotten himself into some trouble with the Catholic League of Decency in his Batman days due to the way his junk looked in his tight-fitting shorts. “They thought that Robin had a very large bulge for television,” he recalled , presumably with a huge smile on his face. Evidently, this became such a problem that Ward was prescribed medication to help “shrink him up.” Ward had previously touched on the subject in his 1995 book Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights , and went into more detail regarding the doctor’s appointment and the aftermath of the story going public. According to Ward, he was taken to a bungalow on the 20th Century Fox lot one day where he was greeted by a “special doctor” with a thick German accent. Fr...
