Hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in the world -- killing about 500 people a year. Now an American woman is one of those statistics. She was on safari with her husband, standing by a river when a hippo charged and attacked her. Now her husband is suing the tour company. The tour company tells us that the couple was accompanied by an experienced professional guide and that all safety measures had been implemented both before and during the attack. And he never attended a Kennedy Center event the first time he was president, but now that he's back in the white house, Donald Trump has named himself chairman of the organization. And -- he's fired the person who's been running it and stacked the board with people loyal to him. Plus, it's happening around the country… owners and dealers of the Tesla cybertruck are finding their vehicles vandalized. Some speculate it has to do with Elon Musk's high profile around President Trump. And when our reporter Alison Hall was out covering a story 'on' breast cancer, she found out she 'had' breast cancer. And in documenting her own treatment, she's helped alert countless other women across the country on how to protect themselves.

For the very first time we are seeing Wendy Williams inside the assisted care facility where she's being housed. The former talk show host is speaking out in an interview shot through her high-rise window. She says she's prevented from leaving the facility and now 'wants her life back.' And a changing landscape in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia. President Trump says he spoke directly with Vladimir Putin, the first conversation between the leaders of the two nations since before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The conversation comes on the heels of the release of a prisoner exchange. Even President Trump says the newly freed American has his mother to thank for it. Plus, Elon Musk has 12 children by three different women - and one of those kids has been a constant presence during his father's time as President Trump’s advisor - even sitting on dad's shoulders yesterday in the Oval Office. Musk has been accused on social media of using his four year old as a prop - and the boy's mother doesn’t approve either. And the Kansas City Chiefs are still dealing with what could be called 'the agony of defeat' following Sunday’s Super Bowl loss. And among the unhappy is Travis Kelce, who says 'he's kicking himself.'

With spring break approaching this is not the kind of news you want to hear. Two friends on vacation in the Bahamas were out on a boat when they decided to jump in the beautiful blue water and suddenly a bull shark went on the attack. And, stunning words on the house floor from Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace. For nearly an hour she spoke out - accusing four successful businessmen, including her ex-fiancé, of being sexual predators. They all deny any wrongdoing. Plus, some Americans are going to great extremes to beat the soaring egg prices. They're renting chickens! Yes, even with no farming experience, they say its way cheaper to have chicken lay a dozen eggs at home than buy them at the supermarket.  And Grammy winner Sabrina Carpenter is on the cover of the March issue of Vogue. She's striking a pose in a baby blue lingerie-inspired outfit and many online believe she's channeling Madonna’s 1990's ‘Blonde Ambition’ look.

Super Bowl 59 is in the history books with the Eagles winning their second Vince Lombardi Trophy in what, for a while, was a total blowout. Among the more than 76,000 in the stadium was President Trump, who became the only sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. And among the many celebrities was Taylor Swift who publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president. And Kendrick Lamar did the halftime show... the first time a solo rapper has headlined, and it's sparked plenty of commentary. But one moment no one saw coming was when tennis great Serena Williams popped up as a dancer. Plus, Philadelphia fans spilled into the streets celebrating the Eagles win and since this is only their second Super Bowl win, things got a little wild. And the egg shortage continues in parts of the country and some people are getting desperate. Surveillance cam captured thieves stealing more than 500 eggs from a restaurant in Seattle.

Did he get away with murder? That's the question being asked about a 17-year-old after he was acquitted in the murder of his mother. That court decision came after he'd already killed his father, police say, in self-defense. And every year before the Super Bowl the NFL holds an award show and former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who's 72, showed up with his 24-year-old girlfriend who had a Super Bowl ring on her finger. Is she engaged? Or did Belichick just run out of fingers? Plus, he's on tap to become the President's point man on health matters in the U.S., so when RFK Jr. mixes something into his drink, people pay attention. And plenty of folks are wondering what was in the little bottle he uncorked during a flight. And Sunday's Super Bowl comes less than six weeks after 14 people were killed in New Orleans when a pickup truck drove into the New Year’s Eve crowd. Though most of New Orleans is celebrating the Super Bowl, for the victims’ families -- that's hard to do. One victim actually worked at the Superdome with his father who will now be watching the game without him.

Last night in New Orleans, members of both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles met the press for the traditional Q & A - and one question for Travis Kelce stood out. Might he be considering a half time show of his own? He was asked if he was planning to propose at halftime to Taylor Swift. And there's still talk from Sunday’s big event - the Grammys. Kanye West's red carpet stunt got plenty of attention, with his wife revealing her basically nude body in a sheer dress. The talk is this: Is she ok? Plus, officials in Miami Beach are sending a message loud and clear to spring breakers - you are still not welcome here. They want college kids to know that Miami Beach will have curfews, DUI enforcement and a heavy police presence.
