Livvy Dunne Watches Paul Skenes Give up Three Home Runs in One Inning
On Thursday, Paul Skenes fell to a 3-3 record after what must have been one of the toughest innings of his young career.
The Chicago Cubs triumphed over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 8-3, fueled by a powerful offensive surge in the fifth inning.

Skenes had kept the Cubs scoreless through four innings but there were signs that he didn't have his best stuff today. After giving up a leadoff single to Ian Happ, Paul also walked four batters in the early innings.
After taking a 2-0 lead into the fifth inning, the wheels came completely off for Skenes and the Pirates. Paul had only given up one home run on the season but surrendered three of them in the fifth inning which led to an early exit for the reigning Rookie of the Year.
Girlfriend Livvy Dunne had posted pictures from Pittsburgh ahead of the game in her Instagram stories.
Afterwards in the clubhouse, the always professional Skenes fielded questions about his performance. He said, 'Yeah, execution wasn't there. Kind of spraying the ball, got away with it there for awhile…Good pieces of hitting. I don't know, I kinda missed my spot. Yeah, good for them.'

Paul was asked if he was laboring out there today. He said, 'Yeah, I wasn't super sharp today…Bullpen [warmups] was a little all over the place. And then, went out in the game and it was a little all over the place [too].'
Overall, there was a very somber mood at PNC Park after last night's tragic incident when a fan was critically injured after falling from the stands in left field. Before the game, the team posted the following statement from Pirates owner Bob Nutting.
Skenes is next scheduled to pitch on Tuesday night in St. Louis against the Cardinals.

Selena Gomez Shares Romantic Post From Dinner With Benny Blanco
On Friday, Selena Gomez shared a shot from a romantic dinner with Benny Blanco on her Instagram timeline. In the post, she is seated at a wooden table in front of a gorgeous place setting and menu, wrapped in a camel coat and warm red shawl. She has her left hand stretched out towards the photographer, displaying her marquise diamond engagement ring, and is smiling coyly. The photo was apparently taken by Blanco, who has his own hand reaching into the frame and towards Gomez. In the caption, Gomez simply wrote, 'I love you.' Blanco was quick to comment on the post, saying, 'Mi amor.' He then shared the same image in his Instagram Stories, writing, 'Miss my bb.' The couple has been engaged since December 2024 and have reportedly already sent out invitations for their upcoming wedding, though details of when and where it will take place have not been revealed. In a joint Rolling Stone interview in March, Blanco joked, 'I think every day she's planned a new wedding in her head. We're very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people. We're still not over this moment. Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring.' Gomez related their engagement to their album, I Said I Love You First, and how it influenced their music. 'I genuinely feel like this is such a special time that we get to apply it to this album and really just pour our heart into it, and completely translate what we feel and bring it to the world,' she said. 'That's my main focus right now, at least.' Blanco added, 'It feels like we got engaged yesterday, but also feels like we got engaged 20 years ago. I've known her since she was 18, and so it's like we got all that stuff out of the way. By the time we're dating, it's like, whoa. My biggest regret is that we didn't get to do this earlier, like we waited this long to be together. But I know it was perfect and it was right.'

World's oldest practicing doctor, 102, reveals ‘enemy of longevity'
Most people slow down with age, trading suits and deadlines for slippers and daytime TV. Not Dr. Howard Tucker. The Cleveland-born neurologist treated patients for nearly eight decades, earning the Guinness World Record title for oldest practicing doctor just before his 99th birthday. Now 102, Tucker may have hung up his white coat, but he hasn't hit the brakes. He spends his days lecturing future doctors at Case Western Reserve University and consulting on medical-legal cases — thanks to the law degree he picked up at the age of 67. 5 Dr. Howard Tucker treated patients from 1947 until 2022. drhowardtucker/Instagram Oh, and he's gone viral on TikTok while promoting What's Next, a documentary about his life, produced by his grandson. Tucker recently peeled back the curtain on his remarkable run — and how he's stayed sharp, driven and active well into his second century. 'Retirement, I think, is the enemy of longevity,' Tucker recently told TODAY's Al Roker. 'You have to have some purpose in life and get up in the morning and know what you're about,' he added. Tucker continued practicing medicine until age 100, only stopping when the hospital where he worked shuttered its doors in 2022. 5 Tucker will turn 103 years old in July. whatsnextmovie/Instagram If it wasn't for the closure, Tucker told PEOPLE, he'd 'absolutely' still be seeing patients. He's even 'putting out feelers' for another gig — though he admits, 'nobody wants me at my age.' 'But I'll keep trying,' he said. Tucker has no intention of stepping away from his current workload. But for anyone thinking about throwing in the towel, he's got a word of advice. 'If they retire from their work, they should at least do something as a hobby, whether it be communal work or self-hobbies,' he told TODAY. 'You need a stimulus for the brain daily.' Science backs him up. Studies show that having a sense of purpose, continually learning new things and engaging in activities that require problem-solving, creativity and attention are key for staying mentally sharp into old age. 5 Tucker is one of the oldest people to receive a law degree. drhowardtucker/Instagram The average American lifespan was 77.5 years in 2022 — and Tucker blew past that long ago. His parents lived to 84 and 96, but he said good genes are only part of the equation. 'Heredity and family history of longevity is a healthy start. However, it must be supported by moderation of nutrition, alcohol, and happiness,' Tucker wrote in his Guinness submission. For Tucker, happiness comes from work, his wife of over 70 years, their four kids, 10 grandchildren — and a lifelong love for Cleveland sports. Research shows that people with strong social connections and a positive outlook tend to outlive those who are isolated or depressed. 5 Tucker has been married to his wife for more than 70 years. drhowardtucker/Instagram Tucker has also made staying active a lifelong priority. Writing for CNBC, Tucker said he's always avoided letting himself get out of shape. He gave up skiing after a fall in his late 80s left him with a broken neck, but he continues to snowshoe and hits the treadmill for at least three miles a day in his home gym. Tucker noted that even small habits make a difference, with studies suggesting just 15 minutes of walking a day can cut the risk of early death by nearly 25%. 5 The documentary about Tucker's life, What's Next, was the People's Voice Winner at the 2025 Webby Awards. Getty Images for The Webby Awards His diet is simple. On the mindbodygreen podcast, Tucker said he starts his day with seasonal fruit and sometimes cereal, washed down with 2% milk and a cup of tea instead of coffee. He usually skips lunch to stay sharp, and dinner is typically fish and vegetables — especially broccoli — with the occasional serving of meat. He and his wife end the day with something sweet, sometimes fruit, sometimes ice cream. Trucker rarely drinks but makes an exception for his favorite cocktail. 'I love my martinis,' he told Medical Economics. He's never touched a cigarette. With his 103rd birthday around the corner in July, Tucker isn't wasting time worrying about the end. 'I never think of death,' he told TODAY. 'To be alive is to know that you're going to die because life is a fatal disease. And so I live it.'

Why American celebrities ‘escaping' Trump by fleeting to Britain may be in for a big surprise
Since Trump began his second term, Britain has become a political escape hatch for American celebrities and wealthy Democrats. It's so popular that last week, the British Home Office released data showing that in the 12 months leading up to March, almost 7,000 US citizens applied to become British subjects or live here indefinitely — the highest number since such records began in 2004. A third of those applications have been received since Trump took office at the start of 2025. There are the famous emigres. Kamala Harris supporters Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have taken up residence in the bucolic Cotswolds, selling their Montecito homes after becoming 'very disillusioned' when Trump won, according to TMZ. 'English country life' runs the caption on Ellen's latest Instagram reel showing her luxurious home and grounds, complete with chicken and gambolling rabbit. 4 Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have left the US for the UK following Trump's return to office. Getty Images Fellow comedian Rosie O'Donnell has moved to UK-adjacent Ireland and will only 'consider coming back' when it is 'safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America,' as she said on a Tik Tok video in March. Brit Minnie Driver left LA to return to the motherland prompted by Trump's win. Others considering a move to the UK include Barbra Streisand, who has said she 'can't live in this country if [Trump] becomes president,' as well as Cher and America Ferrera. 'Girls' creator Lena Dunham — along with Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes — traded the US for London before Trump's inauguration. But the glitzy progressives falling for Britain may find they are in for a shock: This is not the liberal paradise they imagined, despite our Labour prime minister. In fact, Britain's next leader could be a lot like Donald Trump. The populist Reform party is surging in the polls, threatening to explode Britain's political landscape. It is built around Brexit architect Nigel Farage, an anti-immigration figure with similar cult-like status to Trump and the president's erstwhile close friend. Reform is no fringe party: 40% of Brits think Farage will be the next Prime Minister. 4 Rosie O'Donnell hasn't moved to Britain, but to Ireland — where she believes it will be safer for her and her gender-nonconforming child. Getty Images Trump's followers remain steadfast despite all; as the president himself noted, he could shoot someone in Times Square and 'not lose any voters.' Farage, our possible future prime minister, confers a similar blind devotion on his own party supporters. When a Reform candidate from Yorkshire, selected to run for a seat in Parliament, was revealed to have said, 'Black people should get off their lazy arses and stop acting like savages,' voters didn't care; he still came second. Last week, a frenzy erupted over a 'racist' advert for Reform which bashed the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar by saying he will 'prioritize the Pakistani community.' Not a peep of contrition. Do those trading Trump's America for Britain fully understand what has been going on in our less glamorous areas? 4 Trump with Nigel Farage, leader of Britain's Reform Party. Getty Images This week saw a car-ramming in Liverpool, injuring scores who were out celebrating a soccer triumph. Do they know what happened last summer, following the massacre by Axel Rudakubana, the son of Sudanese immigrants, of three little girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in the peaceful northern town Southport? There were mass riots as thugs stormed mosques and lit them on fire — plus a groundswell of rage at how the Islamist ambitions and sympathies of Britain's unassimilated immigrants and asylum-seekers are covered up. From the British perspective, of course, the arrival of wealthy and famous American Dems-in-exile has shone an interesting light on our own debates about immigration. Though few admit it, least of all those in power, there are Good Migrants and there are Bad Migrants. 4 Axel Rudakubana, who killed three small girls at a Taylor Swift concert, sparked large-scale anti-Muslim riots in Britain. AP It is generally agreed now by all the parties that Something Must Be Done about the Bad Ones. In 2024, 694 boats carrying 53 illegal immigrants apiece seeking asylum arrived on British shores, costing taxpayers £6 million a day on hotel bills alone. But the good ones like Ellen with her $18 million farmhouse? We can't get enough. Ironically echoing Trump's idea of a 'gold card' for desirable immigrants, the UK's home secretary said earlier this month that Britain would be introducing 'provisions to qualify more swiftly that take account of the contribution people have made.' This should ease the way for more Ellens, Evas and Lenas. Of course, it's hardly a surprise that most people will take an American celebrity over a trafficked Syrian any day, and their arrival is certainly a bonus for us. But when they discover how far short of a liberal paradise Britain is becoming, their stays on this sceptred isle might be shorter than anticipated.
