Livvy Dunne is bringing in her 24th birthday with a tropical vacation with Paul Skenes.
The former LSU gymnast shared some photos from her Bahamas celebration, which featured her alongside the MLB star. In the first photo, Dunne is sipping on an orange beverage next to a pool as she wears a blue bikini with white seams. In another photo, she's in the pool with two large "24" floaties alongside her.
In the third photo, Skenes makes his appearance wearing gray swim trunks as he holds her above the pool, seemingly looking to drop her in the water. She then added two more solo photos of herself wearing a "birthday girl" headband while she relaxed by the pool.
"Washed up at 24," Dunne captioned the post.

31-year-old quarterback Deshaun Watson's five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract with the Cleveland Browns is on track to going down as one of the worst contracts in sports history.
Watson's wife, Jilly Anais, certainly isn't complaining. It opened the door for her to receive an absolutely massive wedding ring, which she showed off in an Instagram post before the Browns' Thursday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jilly Anais Watson (who has worked as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model) posted photos of her at the Browns' most recent home game, where she was wearing Watson's jersey, light blue jeans, a brown bag, and a huge rock on her ring finger.

The custom wedding ring is a direct match with the one Deshaun got when the two tied the knot in the summer of 2025.

Former LSU gymnast and new Baywatch actress Livvy Dunne is making the most of her 24th year on the planet by enjoying a private flight to the Bahamas.
Dunne, who said an emotional goodbye to the sport of gymnastics before turning into a social media influencer and actress, claims she's already "washed up" at just 24 years old. Of course, it's a play on words for Dunne, who shared the post from the beaches in the Bahamas.
The post on Instagram shows off her new digs for the weekend as she kicks off her birthday activities by the pool. Dunne's next likely viral post wouldn't be complete without a few poses with her "24" balloons and cheeky swimsuit.

Sydney Sweeney's latest ad campaign has landed very differently with some of the women who have spent their lives competing in sports.
Four-time Olympic gold medalist Ariarne ***** mus is among a growing group of athletes criticizing Sweeney's new "Just Sports" campaign for Novig, a sports prediction market. The campaign shows Sweeney nude or minimally dressed while footballs, basketballs, hockey equipment and other sports gear strategically cover her body.
Athletes including former UCLA gymnast Gracie Kramer, Olympic swimmer Lani Pallister, British sprinter Amy Hunt and water polo Olympian Tilly Kearns have responded by putting competition, training and athletic achievement back at the center of their own posts.
Sweeney is more closely tied to the campaign than a typical celebrity spokesperson. Novig announced that she joined the company as a strategic partner and equity holder, while Sweeney said she had participated in the creative process from the beginning.
The four-time Olympic champion, who retired from competitive swimming in 2025, wrote on Instagram that she had believed this kind of marketing belonged in the past.

DUNDEE – This is Erin Down's fifth year as the girls swimming coach at Monroe.
She remembers having just five athletes for the Monroe County Championships her first season.
She has helped her alma mater build steadily over the years. The Trojans had 23 girls compete Saturday in the Southeast Michigan Independent Swimming League Relays on Saturday, Sept. 12.
That depth was crucial as Monroe held off Grosse Ile by 8 points to capture the championship trophy.

First-inning runs alone won't get you over the line most of the time. Stopping at a pair of early solo shots—at least until the ninth inning—the Dodgers' offense left a lot to be desired in a 4-3 loss to the Marlins, as Tyler Glasnow went through plenty of issues in his shortest regular start of the season (4+ IP). The hard-throwing right-hander walked four and seldom looked in rhythm.
Beginning with a bang, the Dodgers made a statement against Tyler Phillips in the first, taking a 2-0 lead with back-to-back long ****** from Mookie Betts and Max Muncy—the one from Betts had special value, given it represented the 10,000th home run in Los Angeles Dodgers history. The problem is that this so-called statement was left at that, with the offense failing to record another hit in Phillips' three-plus innings of work, pitching with a short leash.
By the time Phillips was removed from the game in the fourth, the Marlins had already taken the lead courtesy of a three-run second against Glasnow. Josue De Paula came back from down in the count to earn a walk against Phillips in the fourth, enough for the Marlins to make the call to the bullpen and bring in left-hander Cade Gibson to retire Hunter Feduccia.
The Dodgers trailed at this early point because Tyler Glasnow seemed to be swimming against the tide for the better part of this one, meshing small periods of dominance with worrisome rallies. After squeezing his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the first, Glasnow coughed up three runs in the second. The damage started with a two-run shot from Graham Pauley and later on with three straight singles, the last one an RBI knock from Otto Lopez.
It then looked like Glasnow would figure things out with clean innings in the third and fourth, including striking out the side in the latter, but that calmness was short-lived. Walking the first two batters of the fifth, Glasnow was removed, recording just 12 outs and leaving quite a mess for Jack Dreyer, who did himself no favors by loading the bases with an 0-2 HBP. In what felt like a pivotal inning for the Dodgers to remain in this game, they caught all the breaks—an errant throw from Mookie Betts on a routine grounder was snagged by Alex Freeland, preventing multiple runners from scoring, and in the following at-bat, Kyle Tucker flashed the leather with a smooth sliding grab to keep everyone at their stations. With one out, Dreyer induced a timely double play as Agustin Ramírez absolutely smoked a groundball right at Betts. And just like that, the score was at a still manageable 4-2 deficit.

BERLIN (AP) — The Swiss federal intelligence service on Thursday published a 200-page dossier on the notorious ******* war criminal Josef Mengele, the German doctor known as the "Angel of Death" for conducting horrific medical experiments on prisoners at Auschwitz.
During World War II, Mengele served at the Auschwitz extermination camp in ******* -occupied Poland, where about 1.1 million people were killed, approximately 1 million of them Jews. He became infamous for carrying out brutal medical experiments on inmates, including children, under the guise of scientific research.
After the war, Mengele obtained a Red Cross travel document under a false identity, allowing him to leave Europe. Like many former ******* officials, he spent years in hiding in Latin America while being pursued internationally for his crimes. He drowned in 1979 while swimming on the coast of Brazil.
The documents released by Swiss authorities include material provided to police suggesting that Mengele may have returned to Switzerland after initially fleeing Germany, or may have been planning to enter the country under a false name, according to the German news agency dpa.
Historians seeking to establish whether Mengele spent time in Switzerland while being pursued as a war criminal, without Swiss authorities catching him, had long sought access to the files.

Katie Holmes and artist Jason Bard Yarmosky have taken their increasingly public romance to Lake Como, sharing a collection of affectionate photographs from an Italian getaway.
Yarmosky posted a vacation carousel Sept. 6 showing the couple sightseeing, swimming and relaxing together on the water. Holmes appeared in a white bikini while sunbathing on a speedboat and later joined him for a photograph in coordinating black outfits.
The vacation arrived five days after Holmes publicly celebrated Yarmosky's birthday with an Instagram post featuring the artist. She called him "the best of the best" alongside a candid photograph of the pair laughing with their heads together.
The two were first linked in July and have since attended several events as a couple. The Lake Como photographs mark their most personal public look yet at the relationship, and Holmes followed Yarmosky's boat pictures with another vacation carousel of her own the next day.
Yarmosky captioned his vacation carousel, "Life is a friend of art." The collection included views across Lake Como as the couple spent time on a speedboat and in the water.

Timely enough off the heels of the Labor Day holiday yesterday, the NHL's new collective bargaining agreement, the labor rules agreed to by the NHL and the NHLPA, kicks in next week. The new agreement is in place through September 2030, marking the second time in a row the two sides have put a deal in place without missing any time. That's no small matter, prior to the recent labor peace the NHL owners have locked out the players in 2004 and 2012 for significant periods that cost a total of 116 games.
These days, fortunately for all, there is more cooperation and perhaps about the best working relationship between the owners and players that we have seen in hockey. Those good feelings are no doubt influenced by business as a whole booming – revenue is way up so their is more money to be made by both sides. Further, ownership is absolutely swimming in vastly increased valuation and sale prices lately – look no further than the Penguins selling for $1.75 billion in 2026 after selling for $900 million just five years earlier.
The new CBA had some rules come on board early for last season – like LTIR tweaks and the playoff salary cap. Here are a few more interesting tweaks in place.
Training camps open Sept. 16 to coincide with the start of that new labor deal, and they'll look much different than they did in the past. Experienced players will be put through only a 13-day camp, down from 20 days, and those with at least 100 NHL games on their resumes are now limited to two exhibition games. Each team will play only four exhibition games.
The preseason shrinks again, at least formally. Most players across the league are already skating informally with their teammates and have been for a week or more by this point. That amount of time in the pre-practice stage will now be longer than the formal, official 13-day training camp. Long gone are the days of multiple on-ice sessions per day. In fact, teams can also no longer implement fitness testing for unpopular tests on the exercise bike or the so-called dreaded bag skate or repetitive timed sprints.

Let's be brutally honest, ladies. If someone had told us back in 1996 that Pamela Anderson - the slow-motion running, red-swimsuit-wearing, ultimate 90s bombshell - would one day become our leading philosophical guru for embracing midlife, we probably would have choked on our Diet ******* es. But here we are, fiercely navigating our own second acts, and surprisingly, it's Pam who is serving up exactly the kind of rebellious, bare-faced wisdom we didn't know we desperately needed.
Pamela Anderson keeps her makeup-free philosophy as she attends the amfAR Gala Venezia 2026 (@ Getty Images for amfAR)
Who can forget that Pamela was the poster girl for an impossible standard of hyper-glamorous beauty. With the heavy lip liner, bleach, and frosted eyeshadow, she really went for the more-is-more approach to beauty. But in more recent years? She has gloriously changed tack. She has stepped onto the world's most heavily photographed, judgmental red carpet arenas completely makeup-free (or minimally made-up sometimes). She lets her freckles shine, her fine lines show, and her natural skin breathe. And honestly, the collective sigh of relief from women over 50 could be heard from ******* e.
Pamela Anderson went for a more is more approach back in the nineties (@ WireImage)
Because let's face it: the 'anti-ageing' industry is downright exhausting. We are constantly bombarded with marketing campaigns telling us to freeze, fill, lift, and aggressively scrub away every single sign that we have actually had the audacity to live past our fortieth birthdays. It's a relentless, outrageously expensive treadmill. We are commanded to fight aging as if it's a disease, rather than the profound privilege it actually is.

Over the past several years, Angel Reese has emerged as one of the most high-profile female athletes on the planet. With that, however, has come some unwanted attention when she posts certain photos on social media.
Reese has never been shy about sharing photos in bikinis or other forms of revealing clothing. And she made it pretty clear that she has no intention of apologizing for it.
In addition to sharing bikini photos on her own social channels, Reese has also appeared in the SI Swimsuit and has also partnered with Victoria's Secret on a number of occasions.
Back in 2023, when Reese was still with the LSU Tigers at the college level, Reese posed with SI Swimsuit for the first time.
"I had on thong bathing suits and I didn't think I was going to be comfortable, but [everyone] made me feel really comfortable," Reese said at the time. "I work out a lot. I embrace my body and who I am and every mark on my body. I probably feel the ******* iest in a bathing suit."

Hurricane Marie, well out in the Pacific, created flooding and dangerous conditions at some southern California beaches over Labor Day weekend, with strong currents and huge waves presenting a threat to swimmers and surfers.
Rose Schoenfeld, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said Sunday that Marie stirred up "life-threatening" conditions as it churned in the ocean hundreds of miles off California's Pacific coast. Some south-facing beaches have seen surf up to 10 feet (3 meters) high, she said.
"We're getting reports from lifeguards that the surf conditions are very dangerous, specifically the rip currents," Schoenfeld said.
Hurricane Marie won't make landfall and is expected to weaken to a tropical storm by late Sunday, but will still but will still bring rain to parts of Los Angeles County before it dissipates. Some parts of the area have already seen as much as a quarter inch of rain Sunday, Schoenfeld said.
The National Weather Service advised people to swim only near lifeguards and to stay off rock jetties.

BATON ROUGE, LA – The Lane Kiffin era started with fireworks. Literally.
As LSU came out of the tunnel shortly before kickoff of its game against Clemson, LSU shot off purple and gold fireworks inside the stadium to hard launch to Kiffin's debut with the Tigers.
Hey, better than saving up the fireworks for display after a loss, like Rutgers did.
Earlier in the day, Kiffin, ever the showman, entered the stadium during the Tiger Walk wearing a double breasted suit. He was accompanied by comedian Theo Von and swimsuit model Olivia Dunne, a former LSU gymnast.
The start of the Clemson-LSU game was delayed two hours because of lightning and heavy rain. The Kiffin era officially kicked off at 8:40 p.m. local time, with smoke from the pregame pyrotechnics display hovering in the air at Tiger Stadium.

Philadelphia 76ers star Jaylen Brown is one who has many interests outside of the game of basketball. He took classes at MIT to further his education, he has done a lot in the community in terms of his philanthropic work, and now has taken on surfing, apparently.
Video footage of Brown surfing has recently popped up around social media and it's due to two USA swimmers who found a random GoPro camera and decided to look at what's stored on the camera.
Swimmers Patrick Sammon and Michael Andrew recanted the story about how they found Brown's GoPro and what they did with it:
Sammon: As soon we turned it on, we're like, 'Oh, this guy looks super familiar.'
Andrew: And for sure an athlete. Like, this guy's huge.

Virginia Tech hoops head coach Mike Young will have at least one more season to try to right the ship. Young was entering the final year of his contract this season, but he signed a one-year extension at the end of July. Young was one of several Hokies head coaches extended along with women's basketball head coach Megan Duffy, swim and dive coach Sergio Lopez Miro, men's soccer head coach Mike Brizendine and softball head coach Pete D'Amour.
#hokies giving Mike Young 1-year contract extension. So he is no longer entering final year of his contract. Now under contract through 2027-28 season. Extensions also for Duffy, D’Amour, Brizendine, Lopez Miro. Pay hike for Robie, whose deal had been extended in Jan.
— Mark Berman (BermanRoanoke) July 29, 2026
With the extension, Young will make $3 million this year and in 2027-28. According to Thomas Hughes of Virginia Tech Hokies on SI, Young will receive a $2 million buyout if he is fired on or before next March 15, and $1 million if axed before March 15, 2028.
Young, who took over for Buzz Williams when he left for Texas A&M in 2019, led the Hokies to two NCAA Tournaments in his first three seasons. But the Hokies haven't been back since and haven't posted a winning record in ACC play the last four seasons. He is 124-98 in seven seasons with the Hokies, though just 60-70 in conference play.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's kids will reportedly attend a "posh" UK school with a $35,000-a-year price tag. The Duke and ***** ss of Sussex were said to be sending Archie and Lilibet to a private prep school after their UK return. The recent report says the campus they chose includes luxury amenities, sports facilities, arts ***** es, and river access. The school has not been named for privacy reasons
As per a Page Six report, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet would attend a private UK prep school. The outlet says the school costs more than "$35,000 a year." The report also describes it as a "ritzy institution" with "state-of-the-art amenities." These include an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, grass playing fields, AstroTurf pitches, and river access for boating and kayaking.
Additionally, the campus reportedly has several creative and academic ***** es, including art studios, a cooking room, science labs, and a large theater. The school is also said to feature a music and performing arts center. It reportedly has practice rooms, classrooms, rehearsal ***** es, a recital hall, and a garden.

Bloomington native, former Indiana University standout and 1976 Olympian Jennifer Brinegar has been named the new head swimming coach at Franklin College.
She succeeds Zach Rayce, who departed after two seasons to become the aquatic director and head coach at Indian Creek High School.
"Jennifer Brinegar is one of the most accomplished names in the history of Indiana swimming, and we are thrilled to welcome her to Franklin College," Griz athletic director Lance Marshall said in a press release Tuesday, Sept. 1. "Her championship pedigree, years of coaching success and her deep roots in this state's swimming community make her the ideal person to lead our program into its next chapter. Our student-athletes are going to learn from someone who has competed and coached at the highest level, and that's a tremendous opportunity for Griz athletics."
Brinegar attended Bloomington South High School before moving to Louisville, Kentucky to train and find more competition. Girls swimming was not offered as a competitive sport by the IHSAA in 1974-75.
She made the 1976 U.S. Olympic team as a 15-year-old and made the final in the women's 200-meter freestyle while also swimming in a preliminary heat for the gold-medal winning 400 free relay. She went on to win a pair of national championships in 1977, a gold medal in the 400 free relay at the 1978 World Aquatics Championships and a silver in the 800 free at the 1979 Pan American Games.

Santos FC is incorporating APS – Acqua Performance System into its high-performance structure, a methodology developed by Pai e Filho ****** soria, a national benchmark in large-scale and shared-use swimming pools. Created especially for high-performance sports, APS establishes a new concept in aquatic environment care, aimed at athletes' training, recovery, and preparation routines.
Unlike conventional pool treatment, APS is based on an athlete-focused approach. The methodology combines highly precise chemical management, continuous monitoring of water parameters, automation, filtration efficiency, and complementary technologies, seeking to provide a more controlled aquatic environment suited to the demands of a high-performance sports routine.
One of the system's main focuses is eliminating factors ****** ociated with respiratory, eye, and skin discomfort, especially in athletes exposed to the pool frequently.
APS is based on the principle that an aquatic environment developed specifically for high performance helps give athletes better conditions to train, carry out their recovery processes, and reach their full potential. By reducing factors that cause discomfort and more precisely controlling water conditions, the methodology seeks to improve the quality and consistency of training. Better preparation conditions allow athletes to get more out of each session and, as a result, contribute to the development of their sporting performance.
With more than 30 years of experience in shared-use pools, Pai e Filho ****** soria developed APS from the knowledge accumulated in the operation and management of large aquatic facilities. The methodology is intended exclusively for training centers and environments connected to high-performance sports.

Albeit they've conceded five goals from their opening two Premier League matches, Xabi Alonso seems to have Chelsea back on track after a dodgy 2025/26 campaign as the Blues have opened their season with three wins on the bounce. They beat Fulham 3-2 for their Premier League opener, topped Luton Town 2-0 in the Carabao Cup, and most recently beat Brighton and Hove Albion 4-3 in the league. While the former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid manager will certainly be hoping for more solidity in his defense, three straight wins is not a bad start to life in the English top flight at all.
Per statistics provided by OptaJoe, Alonso has become only the fourth manager to have his side open up the season with seven or more goals in his first two Premier League matches, and that's not even counting the scored against Luton Town in the EFL Cup. The other three managers to have done this are Bobby Robson in 1999 with Newcastle United, Michael Laudrup with Swansea City in 2012, and Marcelo Bielsa with Leeds United in 2020. Alonso joins an elite list of managers in a start that's breathed an air of reassurance after there was heavy speculation as to whether or not he made the right decision to join Chelsea in hi post-Real Madrid job search.
After his unprecedented Bundesliga ****** le campaign with Bayer Leverkusen in the 2023/24 season, Alonso was a man in HIGH demand throughout Europe and he was someone who was even on Bayern's radar at the time when it became clear they'd need to replace Thomas Tuchel. The who's who of European giants were all keen to try to line him up as their next manager, but Alonso had made the decision to stay with Leverkusen for the 2024/25 season and then ultimately wound up at Real Madrid to replace Álvaro Arbeloa.
Ironically enough, the pair of Spaniards will not be competing against one another in the Premier League as Arbeloa is currently serving as Fulham manager, though his start to life in England has not gone as swimmingly as it has for Alonso as Fulham lost their opening two league matches of the season, the first of which to Alonso's Chelsea and the second of which to Sunderland.

TikTok users are worried about their most beloved celebrities dying, and they're using an audio warning against making "unnecessary journeys" to share these fears.
The trend is experiencing a big boost in virality following the recent high-profile death of Dolly Parton, which was quickly followed by the death of Tim Curry.
But what is the context of the "unnecessary journeys" audio, what does the trend mean, and why is it going viral? Here's what we know.
In 2015, news broadcaster Teresa Mannion reported on Storm Desmond in the west of Ireland. During the report, she stands in the middle of the storm and yells through the rain, "Don't make unnecessary journeys, don't take risks on treacherous roads, and don't swim in the sea!"
The clip went viral after it was edited and posted to YouTube by Gerard Walsh. The edit adds a scene to the end of her report, where a stop sign hits her in the head.

WNBA star Angel Reese addressed online critics head-on after facing backlash over swimsuit selfies posted to her social media. Refusing to apologize or change her personal brand, Reese pushed back against public commentary about how female athletes choose to present themselves outside of basketball.
Reese defended her right to share lifestyle content without facing unwanted ******* ual attention. She also said fame can make people forget that she is still a young woman dealing with the pressure of public life.
The comments came on "Unapologetically Angel," the podcast Reese hosts with co-host Maya Reese. The conversation started after co-host Maya Reese asked Angel for her take on people in the media and online who treat her confidence in her body as justification for ******* ualizing her.
Reese said she simply does not accept that logic. "I don't know what that means because I'm a beautiful woman, I've been posting pictures in my bikinis, I got a nice body, and I work hard for it," Reese said. "If I want to post a picture of my bikini, I should be able to without being ******* ualized where I'm saying I'm asking for it."
