Olivia Dunne performs stunning move during swimsuit fashion show
Olivia Dunne showed off her gymnastics skills on the runway with a jaw-dropping move during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Fashion Show over the weekend. The national champion gymnast 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 has been one of the most-followed athletes on social media since she joined LSU. She boasts 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. Since then, she's been spotted cheering on her boyfriend Paul Skenes as he makes waves in MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Jin Finally Reaches No. 1 On His Own
Jin debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums chart with Echo, earning his first solo champion and ... More adding to his list of winners, thanks to his work with BTS. MILAN, ITALY - SEPTEMBER 20: Jin attends the Gucci Women's Spring Summer 2025 Fashion Show during the Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2025 at Triennale di Milano on September 20, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Vittoriofor Gucci) As the world waits for BTS to reunite, the members who are not currently enlisted in the South Korean military are taking advantage of the band's downtime by releasing solo work. This week, it's Jin who steals the spotlight thanks to his latest solo EP, Echo, and the tracks featured on its truncated list of tunes. The project arrives on multiple Billboard rankings in America this week, bringing Jin to new peaks and helping him hit No. 1 for the first time on his own on a competitive tally. Echo launches atop the World Albums chart, which ranks the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the U.S. that fall under the category broadly referred to as 'world' — a catch-all term that usually just means foreign-language releases that aren't in Spanish. This lofty arrival gives Jin his first win on the roster as a soloist. This latest drop becomes Jin's second appearance on the World Albums chart and his second in about six months. His first project under his own name dropped in November 2024 and peaked at No. 2, narrowly missing out on the top spot. Jin replaces another South Korean favorite at No. 1 this frame. Duh!, the latest EP by P1Harmony, falls from the summit, where it debuted last week, to No. 3. Jin also manages to outperform K-pop boy band BoyNextDoor, as that act's fourth EP No Genre enters in the runner-up spot. Echo succeeds largely because of healthy sales, a hallmark for all of the seven BTS members. The set opens with 34,500 pure purchases, according to Luminate. While that's nearly 100,000 units behind this week's top seller, I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen, it was more than enough for Jin to lead the World Albums list. Overall, the EP moved 43,000 equivalent units, blending pure purchases with streaming activity. Echo debuts on three Billboard charts this week, landing in the top three on all of them. It leads the World Albums roster, snags the No. 2 spot on the Top Album Sales list, and enters the Billboard 200 at No. 3. BTS as a group has already earned 13 No. 1s on the World Albums chart, though the septet hasn't added to that figure in years. The boy band has snagged a total of 19 placements on the list, with all but one of them reaching the top 10.
