Play video content Jam Press One flight had to handle some serious turbulence — courtesy of a fitness influencer launching into an extreme “bodypump” workout, much to the horror of the other passengers, one of whom recorded the scene. Barbara de Regil, a former Mexican soap star turned fitness queen with over 9M IG followers, decided to unwind on a long-haul flight by turning the aisle into her personal gym. Most people usually stick to light stretching or a casual stroll up and down the aisle, but Barbara clearly has zero social anxiety, crowding other passengers’ already-cramped personal space to…

It looked like existing-home sales were primed to rise in 2025, but the prospect of higher-than-expected mortgage rates are driving down expectations. Fannie Mae on Thursday issued revisions to its 2025 housing market forecast, dropping its estimated gain for existing-home sales next year from 11% to a more muted 4%. The government-sponsored enterprise cited the recent rise in mortgage rates for its revision. “We expect inventories of homes added to the market, and therefore sales of existing homes, to remain subdued through next year, as the higher mortgage rate environment is likely to strengthen the ongoing lock-in effect,” Mark Palim,…

The ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif for alleged “crimes against humanity and war crimes”. Israel said in August that Deif was killed in an air strike in southern Gaza. ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan first applied for the warrants…

No, all is still no well with the Royal family. Perhaps it never will be. Last month, Prince Harry was back in the United Kingdom. As the world very well knows, his father has a serious illness. Put those two facts together and one would think that Harry and King Charles would reunite at some point over the while he was in town, right? Wrong! One might think this, but one would apparently be mistaken. Queen Camilla speaks to the local heroes, who were nominated to attend by their MSPs, following an event at the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood to…

Scott Legato/Getty Images Morgan Wallen wasn’t the only star who missed country music’s biggest night. Zach Bryan, 28, was also conspicuous by his absence at the Country Music Awards in Nashville on Wednesday, November 20, despite racking up a nomination for his duet with Kacey Musgraves. (The musicians were nominated for Musical Event of the Year for “I Remember Everything,” though the prize ultimately went to Ella Langley and Riley Green for “You Look Like You Love Me.”) It appears Bryan instead opted for some low-key downtime with his chocolate labrador, Jack Daniels. While the CMAs got underway Wednesday night,…

HousingWire’s lead analyst, Logan Mohtashami, highlights several macroeconomic variables that contribute to the range for mortgage rates in the coming year: economic growth, inflation, unemployment and the possibility of outright recession. One big miss for forecasters in 2024 was that many assumed a recession was imminent. The headlines and the conventional wisdom saw a recession around the corner starting in late 2021 and by late 2023, many were certain recession was upon us. But the U.S. economy defied expectations and kept growing. As a result, mortgage rates stayed surprisingly elevated as well. Contrary to the impact of recession expectations on…
