Washington [USA], December 21 (ANI): The first trailer for the latest season of Investigation Discovery’s ‘The Curious Case of...’ series was released on Friday. The new season takes a closer look at the conservatorship involving former Jackass star Brandon “Bam” Margera as he battled substance abuse and addiction, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The premiere episode, which is set to air on January 13 on Max, looks into Margera’s journey toward sobriety, which included a controversial conservatorship. The trailer shows a legal tug-of-war between BJ Corville, a lawyer investigating Margera’s case, and Lima Jeramovic, a tech entrepreneur using VR technology in his addiction treatment. In the trailer, Margera compares his situation to Britney Spears, saying, “I’m the Britney Spears of Jackass,” referring to the pop star’s highly publicized conservatorship battle that ended in 2021 after 14 years. Natalia Grace is not the only curious case... Watch #TheCuriousCaseOf January 13 at 10/9c on ID pic.twitter.com/5CrijWHDlX — Investigation Discovery (@DiscoveryID) December 20, 2024 The episode shows how Margera’s struggles with addiction and mental health, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis and multiple rehab stints since 2009, led to his placement under legal guardianship. The conservatorship handed over decision-making powers to others while he sought treatment. Margera, once a core member of the Jackass crew, was let go from Jackass 4 in 2021 after failing a drug test. He later filed a lawsuit claiming his termination was illegal discrimination due to his physical and mental health challenges. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the episode features interviews with Lima Jeramovic, BJ Corville, Margera’s family, and his former Jackass co-star, Steve-O. Legal analyst Beth Karas, who appeared in ‘The Curious Case of Natalia Grace’, is also part of the series. (ANI) This report is auto-generated from ANI news service.

Dwyane Wade's Christmas celebration takes a downturn as family deals with "Sick Baby" issuesNEW YORK — Outside Nebraska football team’s hotel, sirens blared, horns honked and music cut through the cold December air. A lengthy procession of cars, escorted by the New York Police Department, paraded through the Manhattan streets reveling with passers-by as they celebrated Hanukkah in full force on Thursday night. While trips to a New York Knicks game, the 9/11 Museum and other sights around New York City have been highlights for the Nebraska football roster, head coach Matt Rhule is pleased with the level of focus he’s seen from his players. “Walking around New York City, there’s a lot of things to do that could pull you away (from the game), but they’ve done everything right and we’ve practiced well,” Rhule said. One final non-football activity took place Friday morning when Rhule, Ty Robinson, Isaac Gifford and Jahmal Banks went to the New York Stock Exchange. Rhule helped ring the bell to denote the opening of the stock markets for the day. “I’ve grown up here and if you’d told me in one day I’d be on the floor of the stock exchange ringing the bell and a couple hours later I’d be on the field at Yankee Stadium, I never would have believed you,” Rhule said. Having arrived in New York on Monday, Nebraska has practiced in multiple different locations which include the New York Giants practice facility, Fordham University and a Christmas-day walkthrough inside Central Park. “When we landed we went right to practice, and the first thing we did was put our pads on and hit,” Rhule said. “We’ve given them some free time, we’ve done a lot of cool things and celebrated Christmas together, but at the end of the day this is an opportunity for us to finish our season the right way.” * Friday marked the first time Nebraska stepped foot inside Yankee Stadium for an on-field walkthrough prior to playing in the Pinstripe Bowl. As players and coaches alike soaked up the feeling of being inside the legendary sports venue, Rhule found himself impressed with the bowl game’s setup. “A lot of times they play a football game in a baseball stadium and it’s kinda shoehorned in there, but when they rebuilt Yankee Stadium they certainly did it right because (the field) fits perfectly,” Rhule said. * A photo posted by Nebraska football’s social media accounts on Thursday showed the nine newcomers who traveled with the team and have taken part in NU’s bowl game practices. Transfer defensive end Jaylen George and eight incoming freshmen have gotten a “jumpstart” to their Nebraska careers, Rhule said, by being part of team meetings and the on-field preparation. * With wide receiver Isaiah Neyor having opted out of Nebraska’s bowl game, Rhule identified Jaylen Lloyd and Keelan Smith as two wideouts who could see increased opportunities on Saturday. * Nebraska’s transfer portal efforts are not yet fully finished. Following the New Year, the Huskers can again host transfer players on campus for visits. “We’ll be back at work on the first,” Rhule said. “There’s no break, there’s no vacation and there’s no time away; there’s the game and then we’ll be ready to host people that first week (of January).” Get local news delivered to your inbox!1.

Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in.

I'm only two nights in on using these, and I know I don't want to be without them. Battery life is great. I probably played them for a total of five hours during the night and woke up with them still having 70% battery remaining. I probably won't use these for a workout because I don't have to wash them all the time, but for insomnia or anyone who just likes to fall asleep listening to something, these are amazing.

I have always struggled with shame over my detail-oriented, perfectionistic tendencies — prefacing many things with 'I'm a recovering perfectionist' to explain myself to to others, deflecting feared criticism as though to come with a 'disclaimer' that I'm aware of my flaws. This book was so powerful, changing the conversation from perfectionism as something to 'recovered from' or overcome, to realizing we can harness and leverage superpowers within ourselves, all while throwing off shame and embracing the goodness of who we are in an ADAPTIVE way rather than maladaptive!

Mindset is a small business that specializes in calming personal care and decor products. Promising review: "I started meditating over a decade ago. Intermittent in the beginning, progressing deeper and finding new joys over time. With Breathing Buddha, the last thoughts have dropped away as counting breath always seemed to keep me conscious of, well, counting.

A northern lights projector for anyone whose heart is in the magic of the cosmos, but whose butt would much rather be snuggled on a couch than freezing by a glacier. Bonus: This also plays soothing noises and doubles as a Bluetooth speaker! Promising review: "I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful. I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don’t have to turn the lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren. It also has sounds like the sound of rain, or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it . Don’t be afraid to try it! It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want." — Amy J Nelson Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
