Olivia Dunne posts 5-word reaction as fashion show stunt goes viral
"I got triple dog dared," Dunne wrote on X.
The national champion pulled off a move only she could do during the show. She strutted down the walkway in a black and white polka-dot bathing suit that featured red bows in the front and down toward her hips. As she reached the end of the aisle, she dropped down in a split.
Dunne smiled as she received some applause from the crowd that packed the show. As she walked back up the runway, she touched hips with musician Xandra Pohl. Dunne also wore a bikini in a separate instance down the runway. She wore a cropped shirt that read, "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit."
The former LSU Tigers gymnast was named a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model last month as she ended her collegiate career. She was one of four cover models, along with Lauren Chan, Salma Hayek and Jordan Chiles.
Dunne was in the spotlight for much of her collegiate career as she brought with her millions of social media followers. As she left college, Dunne boasted more than 8 million followers on TikTok and another 5.3 million on Instagram. She helped the Tigers to a national championship in 2024, but her final year with LSU was derailed because of an injury.
However, with her fame came some chaotic situations. Her overzealous fans created a security issue for the Tigers at one point during her collegiate career.
She also expressed fears she was being stalked at airports by men seeking her autograph.
"I fear that I'm being stalked, and I don't know what to do. It's gotten to the point that every single time I go to the airport there's a group of at least 10 middle-aged men waiting for me, and they harass me," she explained in the video with over a million views.
"It's these men that want my autograph," she continued.
"They have a stack of like 40 pictures of me or my magazines, and they will run after me down the TSA pre-check line and yell at me if I don't give them my autograph. It's insane."
Dunne included a video from her most recent trip to the airport that left her in tears after she claimed they "circled me at the baggage claim and were like in my face."
"It's something with the airline, and it's weird," she speculated before adding, "It needs to stop, because it's scary for girls. It's weird."
Dunne has been spotted cheering on her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, as the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher continues to make waves in the major leagues.

Manny Pacquiao trains at 'amazing' Raiders facility before big fight
Manny Pacquiao, preparing to return to the boxing ring at 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas, escaped the suffocating heat Wednesday, July 16. But not as long as expected. The Filipino star did shadow boxing and ab work inside the Las Vegas' Raiders training facility. But with an unexpected breeze outside, Pacquiao did a light jog around the outdoor fields, said Marcus Padilla, the Raiders' Senior Director of Broadcast, who arranged the visit. 'It was awesome,'' Padilla said. Will Carless, head of the Raiders' communications and public relations department, also confirmed Pacquiao's visit. The work was some of Pacquiao's final training before his fight with Mario Barrios, which will be his first since 2021, when he lost to Yordenis Ugas by unanimous decision. The visit began on Wednesday before 8 a.m. when Pacquiao arrived with an entourage of about 15 people that included his trainer, Freddie Roach. Typically, when in Las Vegas for a fight, Pacquiao runs at UNLV. 'I think they're going to have to talk sense in Manny because he would run through Hades and train, and I don't know if he's as concerned about conserving his energy,'' Padilla said before the visit. No luck. Although the temperature reached 88 degrees by 8 a.m., Pacquiao still headed for a walk and light jog around the three outdoor fields at the Raiders' Intermountain Health Performance Center in Henderson – about 12 miles from MGM Grand Garden Arena where Pacquiao will fight Saturday night. Manny Pacquiao's grasp of football Pacquiao's manager, Sean Gibbons, said he wasn't sure if the legendary boxer even knows how many yards it takes to get a first down. 'Manny's passion is basketball and chess,'' Gibbons told USA TODAY Sports before Pacquiao's visit to the Raiders' facility. But Gibbons said Pacquiao has developed a friendship with Camryn Bynum, a safety for the Indianapolis Colts whose mother is Filipino. This is not the Raiders' foray into the world of boxing. Tyson used property owned by Raiders owner Mark Davis to build a gym he used while training for his fight against Jake Paul on Nov. 15. While Tyson lost to the former YouTuber, Pacquiao, who has won world titles in eight weight divisions, is taking on a more daunting, much stiffer challenge. He is seeking to become the first Hall of Fame boxer to win a world title. The WBC welterweight title will be on the line when he fights 30-year-old Mario Barrios, the reigning WBC champion. Pacquiao, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in June, has not held a world title since losing the WBO welterweight championship in 2017 to Jeff Horn by unanimous decision. How did Pacquiao's visit materialize Padilla, who is Filipino and president of the Raiders' Asian Pacific Islander group, said his attempt to get Pacquiao to the Raiders fell through in 2009 when the Raiders were still in Oakland. After learning about Pacquiao's comeback, Padilla said, he visited the boxer's training camp in Los Angeles and set in motion the boxer's visit to the Raiders' training facility. Upon Pacquaio's arrival at the facility, Padilla said, the boxer marveled at the facility and said, 'Big. Amazing.'' The Raiders also have made their facility available to soccer superstar Neymar and WWE superstar Roman Reigns, according to Padilla and Kiss.

Sean Combs May Need to ‘Dial' Lavish Lifestyle ‘Back' as He Racks Up ‘Massive' Legal Bills: Source
Sean 'Diddy' Combs scored a victory when he was only found guilty of two out of five counts in his high profile trial – but the disgraced music producer is still facing a mountain of debts that could radically affect his lavish lifestyle in the future, according to a source. 'Even though it's looking likely he'll get to keep his assets, that doesn't mean it's smooth sailing from here on out,' a source exclusively dishes to the National Enquirer. 'His legal bills are going to be so massive it's hard to even estimate how many tens of millions he'll be on the hook for with that.' His payments to his lawyers for his criminal case aren't the only ones the hip hop artist has to worry about in the future. Since his September 2024 arrest, Diddy has been hit with dozens of civil suits accusing him of sexual assault, harassment, making violent threats and more. His legal team has repeatedly slammed the lawsuits as a money grab and maintained his innocence. 'Only time will tell what those will cost him, but people are predicting it will be a whole lot,' continues the source. 'He's used to living like a king, private jets, tons and tons of staff, throwing money around like it's nothing. But the reality is he won't have that kind of money anymore so he'll need to dial things back in a big way.' The court of public opinion could also be 'very unforgiving' to Diddy, which could affect his 'earning power' over the rest of his career – even if he manages to dodge a significant amount of prison time, the source speculates. 'Any good advisor is going to be telling him he needs to scale things way back once he's out,' the source adds. 'If he fails to listen and keeps his spending where it was at pre-trial, it could lead to disaster.' Earlier this month, celebrity financial advisor Devin White told the Enquirer that he thinks Diddy's 'Sean John business deals with Macy's and other stores are going to be finished' once everything is said and done. As the National Enquirer reported, Diddy was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on July 2. He was found not guilty on his sex trafficking and racketeering related charges. He'd previously pleaded not guilty to all charges. Following the verdict, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that Diddy would not be released on bail as he awaits his sentencing hearing in October. He is set to remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Solve the daily Crossword

How is Bradley Beal expected to fit with the Clippers?
Bradley Beal reportedly has agreed to a buyout from the Phoenix Suns and is expected to join the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN. Beal is expected to receive a two-year, $11 million contract with a player option after he clears waivers, according to ESPN. After two disappointing years with the Suns, it seems Beal and his family prioritized fit over paycheck. The Clippers are a solid landing spot for the 32-year-old who is entering his 14th season. Let's break down how he's expected to fit on a team that considers itself a contender in the West. What Bradley Beal does for the Clippers Los Angeles traded Norman Powell in a deal for John Collins, meaning there's a significant hole for the Clips at shooting guard, which is the only position Beal can really play. At 6-foot-4 and with a feathery touch, Beal would seem like a seamless fit alongside the more ball-dominant James Harden and do-it-all (when healthy) wing Kawhi Leonard. But Beal does have his own availability issues, with the veteran averaging 49 games played the past four seasons. With the Clippers strengthening their frontline via the acquisitions of Collins and Brook Lopez in free agency, Beal's signing should bring tremendous roster balance. A lineup of Harden, Beal, Leonard, Collins, and Ivica Zubac might be one of the most potent starting units in the NBA, with a healthy mix of interior and perimeter offense. Of course, health will always be the major issue with the Clippers, but if things do break right, they could be a formidable threat in the Western Conference.
