‘Pretty Little Baby' singer Connie Francis hospitalized for ‘extreme' pain a week after suffering pelvic fracture
The 'Stupid Cupid' and 'Lipstick on Your Collar' singer, who rose to fame in the late 1950s and early '60s, informed fans on Facebook that she is receiving care after undergoing tests and exams. 'Thank you all for your kind thoughts, words and prayers,' she wrote Wednesday.
Earlier Wednesday, the 87-year-old 'Pretty Little Baby' singer wrote on Facebook that she went to the hospital to learn more about the cause of her pain, which she said prompted her to call off an upcoming Fourth of July performance, her latest cancellation in recent weeks. Francis' posts this week did not disclose much information about her condition, but a previous Facebook update provided some insight.
A week prior to her hospitalization, Francis announced on Facebook that she had been dealing with 'pelvic pain on the right side' and underwent tests to determine 'that this is due to a fracture.'
'It looks like I may have to rely on my wheelchair a little longer than anticipated,' she wrote, adding that she had to pull out of a then-upcoming performance.
Francis gave followers more information about her health in March, telling them in another Facebook post that she uses a wheelchair to avoid putting 'undue pressure on a troublesome painful hip' and that she was awaiting stem cell therapy at the time.
Francis has spoken openly about her personal afflictions over the course of her career. She told the Village Voice in 2011 that she had been committed to several mental institutions in the '80s. She said she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after she was misdiagnosed with other mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, ADD and ADHD.
The singer, also known for 'Where the Boys Are' and 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool,' recently had her music go viral on TikTok as users use her 'Pretty Little Baby' for videos.
'I'm still astounded by the popularity of 'Pretty Little Baby,'' she said last week, thanking the A-listers who have used her hit in their social media videos.

NFL Fans Loving Annie Agar's Fourth Of July Swimsuit
NFL Fans Loving Annie Agar's Fourth Of July Swimsuit originally appeared on The Spun. Social media influencer Annie Agar went all out for the Fourth of July this year. Agar, an NFL correspondent for Chicago Sports Network, has built a loyal following on Instagram, TikTok and X over the past few years. Fans love when she does her weekly recaps during the season. She goes out of her way to mock the NFC North since she's a diehard fan of the Green Bay Packers. Prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, fans were truly worried about Agar because she was sporting a black eye. It turns out she fainted in her bathroom. "Guys, I'm OK. Thank you all for asking," Agar said. "Just in an extreme amounts of pain in my eyebrow and probably concussed. So other than that, everything's fine. The story is not that exciting. I drove home from St. Louis from my speech. I felt very dehydrated. I woke up the next day, felt super nauseous when I got up, walked to the bathroom and just passed out. I don't remember falling. I don't remember anything. I woke up with this (a black eye) and I think I drilled my head on either the corner of something or the floor. It was not fun – 10 out of 10 would not recommend." The good news is that Agar has fully recovered from her concussion and fractured nose. On Friday afternoon, Agar shared a photo of her wearing an American flag swimsuit along with the caption "don't feel too bad england, the week 1 bengals lost to the patriots too." Most of Agar's social media followers raved about her patriotic outfit. Others, however, were too busy laughing at her caption. "Absolute perfection," one fan commented. "God bless America," a second fan said. "Sorry, England. Beating you wasn't enough, so we're gonna make you watch the Jets play there every year," another fan wrote. "Thanks for the reminder," a social media user said. "Happy 4th of July!" This won't be the last time Agar goes viral this summer, that's for sure. That being said, NFL fans will have to wait until Week 1 to witness another hilarious press conference skit from Agar. Fans can check out Agar's work Fans Loving Annie Agar's Fourth Of July Swimsuit first appeared on The Spun on Jul 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Livvy Dunne goes to the Hamptons for Fourth of July beach weekend
The Fourth of July had some perfect beach weather in the New York area, and Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne wasn't going to miss out. The viral sensation and former LSU gymnast traveled to the Hamptons for a beach day, according to snaps on her Instagram account. Dunne, who boasts north of 5 million followers on the social media platform, posted on both her story and main feed, the latter of which contained a three-photo carousel at a beach in Southampton on the east end of Long Island. 3 Livvy Dunne poses on a beach in Southampton, NY on July 4 weekend.

Livvy Dunne/Instagram 'Red, white & freckled,' she wrote as she posed on the sand in, not surprisingly, a red and white bikini. To block out some of the sun, she also wore a straw hat. Dunne also posted one picture to her Instagram story while having fun with a friend in Bridgehampton, later uploading a video to TikTok in an all-white dress. Last year, Dunne had attended Michael Rubin's ever-famous white party in the Hamptons, which Page Six reported did not happen this year. It's not the first time this summer that Dunne, a New Jersey native, has shared some looks into her post-LSU life, as she posted about her 'East Coast summer' in June, which included pictures of sunbathing in a blue and white bikini and partying with influencer Alix Earle at the Jersey Shore. Dunne, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model for 2025, also took in a Mets game at Citi Field in mid-May when the Pirates — the team Paul Skenes, her boyfriend, pitches for — took on the Mets before she went to Madison Square Garden for a Knicks playoff game the next week.
