When it comes to modern fashion, which will always remain relevant, Livvy Dunne's looks happen to be at the very top of the list. She always leaves her fans feeling delighted with whatever she chooses to wear. It's all thanks to her confidence and the way she carries them.

This happened to be true for her latest ensemble, which served the "Baywatch" vibe. The iconic red and fitted swimsuit clearly made her look fiercer than ever, while working beautifully for her incomparable figure and gorgeous complexion.

Livvy Dunne's 'Baywatch' swimsuit has her feeling like a total 'baddie'

Livvy Dunne recently took to social media and posted a photo in the iconic bright red "Baywatch" swimsuit. She also clearly admitted that this fitted ensemble literally had her feeling like a total baddie, and frankly, we can see why.

The sleeveless monokini, with an alluring and deep neckline, looked just incredible on the former artistic gymnast's toned frame. It also helped the diva show off her toned legs, while clearly elongating them to pure perfection.

Lizzo must have been thinking "it's about damn time."

The singer has confessed that she was in her 30s before she lost her virginity, honoring a pact she made two decades earlier.

"I promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn't have sex until I won a Grammy," she revealed on the *Friends Keep Secrets *podcast, shocking hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco.

Lizzo, now 37, won her first Grammy in 2020. She took home three awards that night: Best Pop Solo Performance ("Truth Hurts"), Best Urban Contemporary Album (deluxe version of *Cuz I Love You*), and Best Traditional R&B Performance ("Jerome").

She didn't make good on her promise the night of the Grammys; however, it wasn't long after.

But before she marked the milestone rite of passage, "I lied about it for a long time," admitted Lizzo. "I feel a weight off of my chest right now."

Recalling her college days at the University of Houston, the singer shared an embarrassing moment among her friend group.

"We were all girling one night, and it was like, 'Wait, Lizzo, are you a virgin?' And I remember being like, 'No!'" she said. "I was remember it was so embarrassing. I said, 'I love the D'… And it held me over for a little while."

The self-admitted late bloomer also didn't share her first kiss until she was 21.

The delay was "religious," Lizzo explained. "Like, when we were teenagers at my church, we all made a pact that we wouldn't do anything before marriage. And then, I was just so scared. Like, nobody wanted to kiss me."

When someone finally did, it was "terrible," she complained.

"I was actually very upset about it," Lizzo told Blanco, "because it was like a New Year's Eve thing, and he like forced it on me. I was really mad, and I was like, 'My first kiss is ruined.' I was so mad."

From TMZ to Trump, pressure grows to bring Congress back during partial shutdown

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) ()

WASHINGTON (AP) — TMZ built its brand tracking celebrities. Now it's turning its attention to Congress, chasing down paparazzi-style shots of lawmakers on break from Washington during a record-long partial government shutdown.

Videos and photos posted by the tabloid website showing lawmakers in airports, Las Vegas and even Disney World have racked up millions of views and fueled a growing backlash. With travel disruptions persisting and some federal workers going without pay, pressure is mounting on Congress to cut short its regularly scheduled recess.

Beyond TMZ, President Donald Trump also wants lawmakers to come back, even hinting he might invoke rarely used powers to call Congress into session.

Still, it's not clear what a return would accomplish, with the 45-day partial government shutdown at a deeper impasse than ever. The Senate reached a bipartisan funding deal last week, but House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected it, and House Republicans passed their own version before heading for the exits.

"I'm not sure that we'd come," Democratic Sen. Chris Coons said Monday when asked about members being called back. "And I'm not sure that there would be any difference from what's happened so far."

On recess — and on camera

As lawmakers headed out of Washington last week, the celebrity-gossip outlet TMZ put out a call.

"TMZ is on the hunt for photos of politicians on vacay as TSA officers suffer!" the outlet said in a social media post.

The focus from TMZ — an outlet known more for capturing unflattering footage of celebrities than digging into the nuances of federal policy — was the latest example of how politics is being fueled by viral images and populist sentiment.

Videos quickly followed, showing senators moving through airports — often attempting to shield themselves from cameras — with provocative headlines layered on top. The clips racked up millions of views.

The outlet didn't stop there. Photos of lawmakers on vacation soon followed, including viral images of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham at Disney World with captions such as: "Lindsey Graham lives it up at Disney World during the partial government shutdown!"

Graham said that he had been in Florida for a meeting with Trump administration officials and had made a stop at Disney World with a friend. He also blamed Democrats for the shutdown.

Another widely shared post showed Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia in Las Vegas.

"Actually I don't mind what TMZ is doing here," Garcia posted in response, adding that he was visiting his father. "Like I said a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson should have never sent us all home."

The effort grew out of frustration, said TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin, after the outlet interviewed a TSA worker struggling due to missed paychecks during the shutdown.

"It outraged us so much we wanted to use our platforms to show how Congress — Dems AND Republicans — have betrayed us," Levin said in a statement.

He added that lawmakers shouldn't expect the coverage to end anytime soon.

"Several months ago we decided to amp up our presence and our voice," Levin said. "We now have a producer and a photog circulating in the Capitol, showing the intersection between politics and pop culture."

Pressure mounts on Congress to return

The backlash playing out online is fueling other pressure as well. Trump has called on Congress to return. He spoke with Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Sunday and Monday, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said he has urged leadership to cancel recess "repeatedly."

"He'll host a big Easter dinner here at the White House if Congress will come back," she added.

So far, Republican leadership has not blinked, raising questions about how much pressure Trump will ultimately apply — and whether he would be willing to concede ground to Democrats to end the shutdown.

Unions are adding to that pressure.

"To leave Washington while tens of thousands of workers are going without pay shows a clear lack of respect for the essential employees tasked with keeping our nation safe," said Hydrick Thomas, president of the American Federation of Government Employees TSA Council 100.

Although vacation snapshots have stirred outrage, recess is also an opportunity for lawmakers to reconnect with constituents back home. Some hold town hall events. Others go on trips abroad, such as joining a delegation to Taiwan.

Why the funding impasse won't be easy to solve

Even if lawmakers return to Washington, there isn't an easy way out of the funding impasse.

Senators already labored for weeks to try to find agreement on Democrats' demand that any funding for the Department of Homeland Security come with restrictions on how federal immigration agents conduct enforcement. In vote after failed vote, Democrats showed they wouldn't budge.

As the partial government shutdown extended to the longest in U.S. history, the Senate settled on a last-ditch effort to fund most of DHS while leaving out money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Border Patrol.

But that deal was rejected by Johnson in the House, who instead pushed through a bill to extend DHS funding on a party-line vote. The collapse of the bipartisan agreement has soured the mood for negotiations and left lawmakers pointing fingers.

"There's no point in calling us back because that was the result of a conscious choice by the Republican majority," said Coons, a Delaware Democrat.

Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, told Fox News on Tuesday that the House can come back "on a moment's notice," but "the Senate has to do their job and help us on this heavy lift."

But Thune, a South Dakota Republican, has been clear that he sees no way to get a DHS funding bill through the Senate with its 60-vote threshold for advancing legislation, known as the filibuster.

Still, Thune is coming under renewed pressure to find a way past the funding impasse — with calls from Trump and some conservatives to get rid of the filibuster.

That's unlikely to work either because of a handful of Republican senators who have made it clear they won't vote to change the Senate's rules. Still, Trump told reporters Sunday night that, "They should terminate the filibuster and they should vote."

Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, agreed. He said on social media that he thinks one of the only options for the Senate is to "nuke the filibuster and pass everything."

"Inaction is unacceptable," he added.

Jennifer Lopez is a masterclass on how to dress to impress, no matter how casual the occasion. While accompanying her child, Emme, as they got a haircut in Beverly Hills, the singer wore an all-black-everything ensemble and looked incredibly chic in a satin scoop-neck blouse and pencil skirt. Naturally, all of her accessories were designer, including the pair of black mesh flats that kept the look semi-low key for a trip to the salon (and that we are now obsessing over).

JLo's shoes are the Christian Louboutin Galativi Mesh Flats. An exact pair is hard to come by, though even if you can snag your size on a site like Poshmark or TheRealReal, the flats will still set you back a couple of hundred dollars. Luckily, we found a similar point-toe mesh flat on Amazon that looks just as luxurious without the cringe-inducing couture price.

SEE IT!

Get the Reitoye Flats for $41 (originally $46) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

While you certainly don't have to dress to the nines for a routine cut and color, swapping out your trusted pair of sneakers for mesh flats will definitely elevate a typical running errands outfit. The investment is twofold: If you're stepping out in a t-shirt and jeans, mesh flats will effortlessly enhance your overall appearance. If your everyday aesthetic is semi-formal like Jenny from the Block's satin tank and pencil skirt, the shoes can offer you a bit of comfort, whilst still maintaining a polished impression.

We're Obsessed! Jennifer Aniston Gave Loafers a Polished Upgrade, and the Look Is Just $38

The Reitoye Flats have rubber soles and faux leather lining, with mesh encompassing the entire foot. The insole is cushioned, offering arch support, and made from cowhide, an optimal material for the spring and summer months when sweat is common. The pointed-toe flats also come in a range of sizes (including some halves), from a U.S. 6 to a U.S. 12, and cost only $46 – a fraction of the Louboutins.

According to reviewers, the shoes look even better in person. One commenter noted, "they're very stylish," and says the cutout design "adds a little something to an otherwise basic shoe." Another added that, in addition to the look of the shoe, the flat is also (and, arguably, more importantly) comfortable: "I have wide feet, so I got an 8.5 instead of a regular 8 since these are pointy-toed. And they fit really well! No slipping off the heel and no squishing my toes."

Lopez's everyday style is unmatched. Though the actress tends to wear designers on the regular, don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got. We were able to find an Amazon version of her coveted mesh flats for only $41! A steal that, we think, Jenny from the Block would approve of.

Tyler Perry&x27;s $250K donation to TSA workers prevails after confusion Anthony Robledo, USA TODAYWed, April 1, 2026 at 2:39 AM UTC 0 It's been a bumpy ride for Tyler Perry's grand donation to TSA workers in Atlanta.

Tyler Perry's $250K donation to TSA workers prevails after confusion

Anthony Robledo, USA TODAYWed, April 1, 2026 at 2:39 AM UTC

It's been a bumpy ride for Tyler Perry's grand donation to TSA workers in Atlanta.

After an initial cash donation was turned down due to federal rules, the "A Madea Homecoming" director gifted $250,000 worth of Visa gift cards to TSA employees at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, USA TODAY previously reported.

However, another complication with the gesture seemingly occurred as local outlet 11 Alive reported that the staffers were asked to return the cards.

Perry's representative confirmed to USA TODAY on Tuesday that the workers were eventually allowed to hold onto the gift cards after confusion was cleared up. All of the returned gift cards, estimated to be around 100, were eventually given back to the employees.

Tyler Perry attends Joe's College Road Trip ATL special screening at Regal Atlanta Station on Feb. 13, 2026, in Atlanta.

"Since late last week, Tyler worked closely with the TSA to make sure the donation was handled properly," the spokesperson said in a statement. "At one point there was confusion over a return of about 100 gift cards from employees to TSA supervisors, but Tyler's team reconfirmed this morning that TSA's legal counsel approved the donation."

USA TODAY has reached out to the Transportation Security Administration for comment.

The donation debacle comes amid the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which has left more than 64,000 airport security workers working without pay. President Donald Trump signed an order on March 27 to reroute federal funds to pay TSA staffers, who were allowed to receive their paychecks as early as March 30, as the shutdown continues.

Tyler Perry faces $77 million sexual assault lawsuit

On Dec. 25, Perry was sued for $77 million by Mario Rodriguez, who accused the Hollywood director of making unwanted sexual advances after production of 2016's "Boo! A Madea Halloween."

In the lawsuit, Rodriguez alleged Perry invited the actor to his home to discuss future roles, only to sexually assault him. He also accused Perry of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Mario Rodriguez, left, sued Tyler Perry, right, in December 2025 for alleged sexual assault and battery and sought $77 million in damages.

In Perry's legal response filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Feb. 27, he "vehemently" denied Rodriguez's "frivolous" allegations and called the sexual assault lawsuit both a "money grab" and an attempt to shake him down with "falsehoods."

"After being cast in a very minor role in a single Perry film a decade ago, [Rodriguez] repeatedly turned to Perry as his personal piggy bank," Perry's filing states. "When Plaintiff's repeated requests for more financial assistance were met with silence, angry at the loss of his golden goose, Plaintiff spun a false tale that the two had a nonconsensual relationship, twisting the true reason for the payments to ignite a media firestorm, all to fuel his final money grab and thrust him into the spotlight."

Perry's attorneys characterize Rodriguez's visits to the director's home from 2016 to 2019 as part of "a feigned friendship" in which "Rodriguez repeatedly preyed on Perry's generosity."
