Megan Thee Stallion just officially kicked off Hot Girl Summer in Miami at Swim Week
Megan Thee Stallion channeled a supermodel Thursday night, strutting in her very first Paraiso Miami Swim Week at the tents set up at Collins Park in Miami Beach.
The 'Savage' singer, who was last in town promoting her Chicas Divertidas Tequila at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, wasn't just making a celebrity appearance. The 30-year-old stunner just launched her own bathing suit line conveniently named after her 2019 breakthrough hit, 'Hot Girl Summer.'
Models of all shapes and sizes were sent down the runway in styles hotter than Kendall in August, from bright colored string bikinis to shimmery, bare-all maillots and cute mini dresses with spaghetti straps.
The star of the evening eventually showed to cheers, rocking a Space Age silver two piece suit, accessorized by skyscraper heels and a giant, untamed wig.
'Thank you to my team for making my first runway show be so special and amazing!' the Houston rapper wrote on an Instagram carousel of fabulousness. 'Thank you to all my beautiful models for showcasing my collection so beautifully with lots of positive energy. I can't wait to keep growing in this space I'm so excited for what's to come!'
You can shop 'thee' affordable collection at MeganTheeStallion.com, where skimpy halter tops start at just $18. (Pro tip, ladies, don't delay: The summer solstice falls on June 20 this year.)

How a Y Combinator food delivery app used TikTok to soar in the App Store
The internet trend is simple: A friend or family member looks into the camera and tells viewers, in a slightly aggressive tone, that they are about to witness a presentation and that they had better be nice. That's what Kendall, the sister of Lucious McDaniel IV, did, and after she stepped aside, her brother pitched his company, BiteSight, a food delivery app that lets users watch videos of food before ordering. It also lets customers see what their friends have ordered and bookmark places to try out. The app plays on how young people engage with content — through short-form videos and recommendations from friends. McDaniel posted the video and went back to work. Fifteen minutes later, his sister texted him that their post was going viral. 'We were at 20,000 views in 15 minutes,' McDaniel told TechCrunch. Excitement came, but then chaos ensued as 'parts of our app started to break as we got more users.' The engineering team worked around the clock to keep BiteSight functional, while McDaniel took to making TikToks about the chaos, which ended up going viral, too. He said people loved the 'authenticity' behind seeing what happens when 'your app explodes overnight.' The video of McDaniel presenting this idea has since amassed almost four million likes on TikTok and a quarter of a million on Instagram, joining a trend of young entrepreneurs using TikTok and Instagram Reels to gain traction and deal flow. McDaniel told TechCrunch that the idea to make this video came after watching a friend partake in the same internet trend for his dating app. 'It got over a million views, and he suggested I try it for BiteSight.' McDaniel, who is 24, said he, like many young people, realized he was eating too much takeout, ordering from the same three places because he couldn't discover new restaurants on delivery apps. 'I'd hit this wall of identical-looking restaurants with stock photos, and somehow every place had 4.6 stars.' He started keeping a spreadsheet of restaurants he'd found on Instagram and TikTok, tracking actual reviews, and seeing what his friends thought about said places. 'When I realized other people were doing the exact same thing, my co-founder Zac and I decided to build something better: an app that actually reflects how we discover food today,' he said, referring to Zac Schulwolf, the company's CTO. McDaniel is no stranger to the tech industry. He previously worked at General Atlantic, where one of his main focus areas was restaurant technology. He previously founded a payments company called Phly, led product for a recruitment software, and has even angel invested in a few companies, including the fintech Mercury. McDaniel and Schulwolf, 25, spent over a year building BiteSight, including participation in the Winter 2024 cohort of YCombinator. They then did a limited beta around New York University in April. In mid-May, the company launched an early version and did a bit of social media marketing. In June, they made their viral video. 'What made our video stand out was that what we are building resonates,' said McDaniel, who is BiteSight's CEO (also known as chief eating officer). He added that 'it's clear that consumers, and especially Gen-Z, are ready for something that feels fresh and built for the way they engage.' After the video, BiteSight briefly became #2 in the App Store's Food and Beverage category, bypassing Uber Eats, Starbucks, and even McDonald's. McDaniel said the app also gained more than 100,000 new users and, though the app is only available in New York at the moment, people in other cities started messaging for a nationwide release. On the restaurant side, McDaniel said everyone from small family-owned spots to chain restaurants has reached out to partner and, of course, 'we've had a surge of investor interest from folks who see that this is where food delivery is going.' He declined to comment on the size of any upcoming funding deals, except to say he expects to have news to share soon. Of course, BiteSight has a lot of big, well-funded competition like DoorDash and UberEats. McDaniel believes, however, that being a startup in the age of AI will be his advantage. For example, while most of its competitors needed hundreds of engineers in their early days, BiteSight can work with AI tools that perform 10x the work of a human for much less of the cost. 'By using AI to avoid massive overhead and infrastructure costs, we can do much more with much less and pass on the savings to the small business owners and customers who need it most while still maintaining healthy margins,' he said. What also differentiates BiteSight is its focus on food and video, rather than other categories at the moment. 'We're trying to be the go-to app for the generation that discovers everything through social recommendations and short-form video.' Sign in to access your portfolio

Hulk Hogan's legacy: 5 hidden-gem matches from his long wrestling career
The legacy of Hulk Hogan is certainly a complicated one, and there will be numerous pieces trying to balance his influence on pop culture and pro wrestling with his appalling racism and personal behavior. His in-ring legacy is similarly complicated. He has long been considered a punching bag for work-rate wrestling fans, serving as the dark side of the coin compared wrestlers like Ric Flair or Bret Hart. There was a 'Hulk Hogan in Japan' meme with the idea Hogan was only good in Japan, where he would break out a drop-toe hold or a hammerlock, crapping on his U.S. in-ring performances. There is a reason, however, Hogan became such a phenomenon in a way similarly muscled-up peers never did. He was a master of timing, knowing exactly what a crowd needed and when to give it to it. There is value in both a gritty, independent film and a huge, flashy summer movie, and Hulk Hogan was the James Cameron of pro wrestling. No one did blockbusters better. But here are some of the lesser-known Hogan bangers, the kind of kick-ass matches that got fans to return to arenas month after month. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant, WWF, March 21, 1981 A battle of titans years before their epic WrestleMania 3 match. This is a younger and more agile Andre as a babyface and a heel Hogan in a heavy-hitting, super-duper heavyweight match. Lots of impressive huge power spots between a pair of human kaiju. Andre hits one of the largest vertical suplexes in wrestling history, and Hulk hoists Andre out of the air with a bear hug and bodyslams Andre (years before he became 'the first to do it' at Mania 3). In this match it was Andre who delivered the big babyface comeback, splitting Hogan open and bouncing him around the ring to delight of the crowd. It doesn't reach the transcendent heights of Mania 3, but it is fun to see the work-rate version of such a legendary match. Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage, WWF, May 24, 1986 Hogan and Savage are tied together historically because of multiple iconic feuds. This is from their first series against each other at the Boston Garden and was a great example of what made them such special dance partners. It started with Savage building heat by refusing to lock up and bailing every time Hogan tried to get him. This eventually led to Hogan's frustration giving Savage an opening, and Randy hit him with various dives off the ropes, both in the ring and to the floor. When Randy got cooking in the '80s, he would rain down on you like a missile barrage, his athleticism jumped off the page like watching Bo Jackson hit the open field. Hogan had one of his big crowd-pleasing comebacks, hulking up and wagging the finger, but before he could put Savage away, a ref bump allowed Savage to hit a top-rope axehandle to the floor with the title belt, opening up Hogan and allowing Savage to get a count-out win. Of course, Hogan gets his heat back by dragging Randy from the back and kicking his ass, but this was a rare Hogan loss and a hell of performance by both. Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Billy Jack Haynes vs. Paul Orndorff, Adrian Adonis, Hercules, WWF, March 7, 1987 An elimination six-man tag leading up to WrestleMania 3, and a great example of star-power wrestling. This match was billed as Piper's final one in the Boston Garden (his match against Adonis at Mania 3 was booked as a retirement match), and the crowd was clearly amped to see the legendary rivals Piper and Hogan teaming up. In addition, the Hogan and Orndorff feud had been a huge draw the previous summer and still had a lot of juice left in it. Piper and Adonis were the focus of the first fall, and their interactions were electric, as were all of the times Hogan and Piper teamed up to foil the villains. After Piper and Adonis eliminated themselves, Hogan and Orndorff had a bunch of heated interactions before ending with Hogan running through Hercules. Mid-'80s Hogan was the peak of his superhero, larger-than-life persona, and that charisma could make even the simplest interactions seem monumental. Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter, WWF, June 3, 1991 This was a battle of two of the great jingoistic wrestlers of all time in a Desert Storm match. Slaughter had previously played the role of the flag waving American hero (his boot camp match against the Iron Shiek is one of the best WWF matches ever), but in 1991 he had turned on the flag and proclaimed his loyalty to Iraq. As a feud overall this wasn't a big success, and the WWF famously needed to move WrestleMania 7 to smaller arena because of slow ticket sales. This was the highlight of that feud though, with an enthusiastic Madison Square Garden crowd hyped to see Slaughter taken down. It was a Desert Storm match, with no rules and the loser needing to surrender. Hogan brutalized Slaughter at the start, throwing powder in his eyes and splitting him open with a metal gas mask. Slaughter was able to get some advantages, but this was mostly the Hulkster convincingly ending a feud by laying on a triumphant ass-kicking, even tossing fire at Slaughter's face before making General Adnan throw in the towel. Hulk Hogan vs. Sting, WCW, July 10, 1998 This is a house-show cage main event that would be a legendary all-time match if it had happened on PPV or Nitro. It's a match that should have run at Starrcade, with a super over Sting and Hogan going after each other with tremendous pace. Full of impressive spots, including Sting hanging Hogan upside down by his hamstrings on the cage and hitting him with a Stinger splash, Sting flying on the floor and smashing his ribs on the guardrail, and Hogan tapping clean to the Scorpion death lock in the middle of the ring. NWO Hogan could coast through his matches with cheap heel-heat spots, but for some reason he was on one here. He looked like he hadn't lost anything off his athletic fastball. The post-match was nuts with an NWO attack, and Goldberg coming out to clean house while the fans pelted the ring with garbage and nearly rioted. This was days after Goldberg defeated Hogan in Atlanta, and it was still the peak of WCW. This was one of Hogan's greatest WCW heel performances.

Kylie Jenner Reveals the Hilarious Culinary Skill Her Son Aire Has in Common With His Aunt Kendall
"i knew he was mine!!!" Kendall quipped after seeing her nephew's culinary skills, recalling her own infamous viral moment. Kylie Jenner is sharing a hilariously sweet trait her son, Aire, shares with his aunt, Kendall Jenner. The mom of two posted a picture on her Instagram Story on July 23 of her son cutting a cucumber -- Kendall Jenner style. "runs in the family? @kendalljenner," she wrote. Kendall reposted the Story onto hers -- joking that she might be more than just an aunt to Aire. "i knew he was mine!!!" the model replied. In a 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kendall was seen cutting a cucumber in a peculiar fashion and mentioned how chopping it was "pretty easy." Her mother, Kris Jenner, watched with concern as the 29-year-old cautiously cut through. "Be careful, I kind of nipped myself the other day," the mother of six said to Kendall in the episode. "I know, I'm kind of scared," Kendall replied. "I'm definitely not a good cutter so don't zoom in on me. I'm not professional whatsoever," she then added. Social media users took the clip and made it viral with memes and reenactments of the hilarious moment -- including some coming from her own family. Kim Kardashian even referenced the iconic meme in American Horror Story: Delicate, where her character brought up the "Green Goddess" salad going viral on TikTok -- while cutting a cucumber mid conversation alongside her co-star, Emma Roberts. The viral moment has become Kylie's favorite thing to tease her older sister about and now -- she gets to see the whole thing play out -- again -- with her own son. You just can't beat genetics!
