These days, Meghan Markle is one of the most famous women on the planet.

But there was a time, not all that long ago, when Meghan was just another struggling actress trying to make a name for herself in Hollywood.

The future duchess sort of broke through with her role on the USA network legal dramedy Suits.

But the show wasn’t exactly a smash hit, and Meghan wouldn’t become a household name until she started dating Prince Harry.

But over the past few months, an unexpected development has taken place.

Suits has gained a second life on Netflix and Peacock, becoming a surprise hit on both streaming platforms.

It seems that younger generations have discovered and fallen in love with the show — a situation that’s being compared to the rebirth of The Office that took place a few years ago.

Not surprisingly, the resurgence of Suits has led to talk of a possible reboot.

And those rumors, in turn, have led to talk of Meghan returning to the show.

But in a recent interview with TV Line, executive producer Gene Klein conceded that the Duchess of Sussex is unlikely to reprise her role as Rachel Zane.

“I’d be surprised if we could thread that needle for a reunion, but I’d also be delighted if that happened because [when] you do a show for that long, everybody becomes such a good friend,” Klein told the outlet

“I would assume that’s just not possible,” he continued.

Klein went on to say that he’s not sure what’s caused the show’s recent spike in popularity, but he assumes it’s all because of Meghan.

“In this era of reboots and reunions and all this other stuff, that I’m expecting a call at some point,” he explained.

“But I’m not aware of any serious conversations. It’s just one of those things where, in this day and age, you wouldn’t be surprised if somebody called you someday. But so far, nothing that I’m aware of.”

Interestingly, Klein says this is the first time that the show has experienced a boost in popularity as a result of Meghan’s fame.

“Without a doubt [Markle marrying Prince Harry] has jacked up our visibility,” he said.

“All we really get is linear TV ratings and those were not affected as much by [the romance], but in terms of awareness of the show … it’s exploded,” he said.

“Any time somebody in your cast finds someone and falls in love is great — whether they’re famous or not.”

Meghan left the show shortly after she began her relationship with Harry.

At the time, Klein noted that Meghan’s new romance would make it difficult for her to return to the series, as such a move would result in messy “logistics,” including “heightened security.”

These days, Meghan is more famous, than ever, so it’s a fairly safe bet that she won’t be showing up on the Suits set anytime soon.

Still, there have been rumors in recent weeks about Meghan returning to acting as the lead in a sequel to the 1992 Kevin Costner-Whitney Houston blockbuster The Bodyguard.

Costner claims the part was originally written for Princess Diana prior her death.

No matter what happens next, news of Suits renewed popularity must be a welcome change of pace, as Meghan and Harry have been enduring a string of bad press for the past three months.

Perhaps the Sussexes’ long-awaited comeback is finally at hand!

The Rising Trend of Immigrant-Driven Police Car Destruction

Published

Recent events have highlighted a concerning trend of police vehicle damage and theft during immigration-related protests. On February 3, 2025, a demonstration against federal immigration policies in Arizona’s West Valley turned violent, resulting in significant property damage and a brazen act of police vehicle theft.

Escalation of Protests

The protest, which began peacefully, escalated as the crowd grew to approximately 1,000 people. By 7:30 PM, demonstrators had taken over the intersection of 67th Avenue and Camelback Road, setting off fireworks and engaging in unruly behavior. As the situation deteriorated, some protesters began throwing rocks, concrete chunks, and glass bottles at officers.

Police Vehicle Theft and Damage

In a shocking turn of events, one protester managed to steal a police patrol vehicle. According to a Glendale Police spokesperson, the suspect “jumped into one of our patrol vehicles and drove it a short distance before it was quickly recovered”. This incident underscores the heightened tensions and bold actions taken by some demonstrators.

The damage was not limited to this single act of theft. Five marked patrol vehicles sustained significant damage, including:

Broken windows
Slashed tires
Body and hood dents

Wider Impact and Response

The unrest spread beyond law enforcement targets. Multiple civilian vehicles and area businesses also suffered damage, and a large storage container behind a business complex was set on fire. To regain control of the situation, authorities deployed chemical agents around 10:15 PM to disperse what they termed an “unlawful assembly”.

Context of Immigration Tensions

This incident occurs against the backdrop of heightened immigration enforcement efforts by the Trump administration. Recent directives have led to an aggressive increase in arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with officials aiming to detain 1,200 to 1,500 individuals daily. This policy shift has sparked protests in multiple cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta.

Conclusion

The theft and destruction of police vehicles during immigration protests represent a troubling escalation in civil unrest. While the majority of demonstrators express their views peacefully, these incidents highlight the potential for violence and property damage when tensions run high. Law enforcement agencies and community leaders face the challenge of balancing public safety with the right to protest as the debate over immigration policies continues to intensify.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Dominates 2025 Grammys

Kendrick Lamar dominated the 67th Grammy Awards, held on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The rapper swept all five categories he was nominated in, including the prestigious Song of the Year and Record of the Year awards for his track “Not Like Us”.

“Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake, became the de facto song of 2024 when it was released in May, topping the Billboard singles charts. The song’s success at the Grammys further solidified Lamar’s position in his long-standing rivalry with Drake, with the track winning awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video during the Premiere Ceremony.

Lamar’s acceptance speeches were notable for their focus on Los Angeles and its recovery efforts. During his acceptance for Record of the Year, he acknowledged various neighborhoods in Los Angeles and emphasized the ongoing wildfire recovery efforts. This aligned with the Grammy’s overall theme this year, which included raising funds for wildfire relief in the Los Angeles area.

The rapper’s victories come at a significant time in his career. Having released his album “GNX” in November, Lamar is now set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show next week. His Grammy success has further elevated his status in the hip-hop community and the music industry at large.

Lamar’s wins were not without controversy, however. The track “Not Like Us” is currently involved in a legal dispute initiated by Drake against Universal Music Group. Drake alleges that the label, which represents both him and Lamar, jeopardized his career by promoting the song.

Despite the controversy, Lamar’s clean sweep at the Grammys has cemented his place as one of the most influential and successful artists in contemporary music. His ability to combine critical acclaim with commercial success and cultural impact was on full display at this year’s ceremony.
