Olympian Crystal Dunn is still waiting for Megan Thee Stallion's call
Crystal Dunn, who is representing the U.S. at the Olympics on the women's soccer team, talks about what she said to Megan Thee Stallion when they met.
Megan Thee Stallion can officially add fashion designer to an already glowing resume.
The original "Hot Girl" recently announced the launch of "Hot Girl Summer," a new swimwear collection named after the snappy catchphrase she trademarked in January 2022.
The Houston native, who's real name is Megan Pete, also designed the entire 18-piece size inclusive collection, showcasing her "creative vision and versatile execution."
"With the introduction of Hot Girl Summer, Megan officially becomes the first hip-hop artist to launch her own swimwear brand," Thee Stallion's team said in a May 14 press release.
Here's what we know about "Hot Girl Summer," including a closer look at price point, color scheme and design.
Where will 'Hot Girl Summer' swimwear be sold?
The 30-year-old rapper is partnering with Walmart to bring "Hot Girl Summer" to nearly 500 stores across the country and online at Walmart.com starting May 19. The swimwear will also be available for purchase online at MeganTheeStallion.com.
"Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand," Thee Stallion said in a statement. "It was only right that we kick off Hot Girl Summer with this launch and provide Hotties of all body types with the official Hot Girl uniform. I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it's a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart and I'm so grateful for their support."
What will the 'Hot Girl Summer' collection include?
The rapper's "Hot Girl Summer" swimwear collection features 18 size-inclusive pieces in various cuts and colors.
The inaugural drop includes an assortment of bikinis, monokinis, one-piece swimsuits and swimsuit cover-ups in a wide array of colors, including purple, gold, black, orange and pink.
The price of the swimmers varies, but customers can expect to spend anywhere from $16 to $28 before tax and shipping costs are factored in.
"At Walmart, we want our customers to feel confident by offering fashion that celebrates their individuality and unique style," Ryan Waymire, SVP Women's Group at Walmart, said in a statement. "Megan embodies confidence and authenticity, and we're excited to collaborate with her on an exclusive swim collection that completes the ultimate 'Hot Girl Summer' uniform, all at incredible prices we know customers will love."

Walmart challenges consumer perceptions with ‘Who Knew?' campaign
This story was originally published on Marketing Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Marketing Dive newsletter. Walmart has teamed with actors Walton Goggins and Stephanie Beatriz for a new campaign, 'Walmart. Who Knew?,' designed to challenge consumer perceptions about the big-box store, according to details shared with Marketing Dive. Goggins serves as a knowledgeable guide in a 60-second spot set to The Who's 'Who Are You' where he dishes on the various perks of shopping with Walmart. Beatriz plays a similar role in a Spanish-language ad set to Ricardo Arjona's "Quien Diría.' The effort, which is live and spans TV, online video, paid social and out-of-home ads, follows the retailer's brand refresh in January. The campaign was inspired by research indicating that while 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart, most aren't aware of the retailer's brand evolution. Walmart is reintroducing itself to consumers who may not be aware of its full range of capabilities with its latest campaign. The effort follows the big-box store's recent brand refresh, which included a new typeface, more vibrant colors and a larger emphasis on its spark logo. The refresh also included a focus on delivering greater consistency across channels like its app and website, moves meant to support its goal of becoming a true omnichannel retailer. With its latest campaign, Walmart is highlighting features like Express Delivery and its enhanced Walmart+ membership benefits, including free delivery on a variety of items. A 60-second spot starring Goggins ('The White Lotus') begins with the star asking 'You wanna hear a secret?,' before revealing that the sauna he is sitting in is from Walmart. He goes on to appear in a variety of other scenarios, showcasing how the retailer can provide an assist. The spot ends with a voiceover that states, 'The Walmart you thought you knew is now new.' Actress Beatriz ('Brooklyn Nine-Nine') appears in a Spanish-language spot set at a gender reveal party. The star is seen explaining that, because of Walmart's speedy delivery, she is able to wait to learn what gender the baby is before purchasing a gift, which she proceeds to do after a chaotic reveal. Ahead of the campaign's launch, celebrity Paris Hilton and NBA player Russell Westbrook appeared to tease the effort with social media posts that featured blue and yellow shopping bags marked with the words 'I knew.' Walmart's effort takes a similar approach as JCPenney's 'Yes, JCPenney' campaign that launched in April. That effort, which pushes consumers to reconsider what they think they know about the 123-year-old brand, kicked off with out-of-home ads that depict stylish looks but without overt labels. Instead, they feature copy reading, 'It's from where?' and QR codes that reveal the clothing is from JCPenney. The similarities between Walmart and JCPenney's campaigns are a signal of how legacy retailers — Walmart was founded in 1962 — are attempting to stay relevant and build loyalty as shopping habits change. Walmart reported revenue of $165.6 billion during Q1 of its fiscal year 2026 ended April 30, an increase of 2.5% year over year, per an earnings statement. Its global ads business grew 50% YoY and Walmart Connect in the U.S. was up 31%. Beyond its campaign, the brand has sought to connect with consumers in other ways recently, including through the launch of its own Minecraft Java server in March as a way to link itself to the movie based on the video game property.

PS5 Pro with $50 price cut makes for a better Father's Day gift than a gaming PC — here's why
Father's Day is coming up, and it's time to get the gift ideas flowing. But if you're looking for a sure-fire win, set your eyes on the PS5 Pro with its first-ever discount. Sony has knocked $50 off the most powerful console on the market right now, marking the first time the PS5 Pro has ever been on sale. If I were eligible for a Father's Day gift, this would be the best surprise I could ask for, even more so than a gaming PC for the price. Don't get me wrong; this is an expensive gaming beast, but that price cut does a lot of favors for the PS5 Pro. A powerful gaming system at this price will put a smile on any face — including dads. Finally, Sony's PS5 Pro gets a much-needed price cut, and that $50 discount makes the most powerful PlayStation console ever made even more worth it. Over the base PS5, it packs upgraded internal components, a 2TB SSD hard drive and a small redesign to show off its "Pro" signature. It also comes with a standard DualSense controller. Also check: Best Buy | Walmart | PlayStation Direct Any father out there who wants to game while they can but didn't take a shine to the Nintendo Switch 2 is sure to have their eyes on the PS5 Pro, and that's thanks to its range of upgraded specs that make the best PS5 games shine even brighter. In our PS5 Pro review, we saw firsthand how this is the most powerful console you can get, and the benefits it holds over the base PS5. That includes its improved processing power that brings together performance and quality, meaning you won't have to sacrifice frame rates or details in PS5 Pro Enhanced titles. That means games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Hogwarts Legacy and a growing list of titles can get up to 120Hz at high fidelity settings. So, expect super-smooth gameplay with an upscaled 4K image. There's also support for ray tracing and PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), with the latter being an AI upscaler that delivers sharper image clarity and even greater detail in games. One of the biggest gripes about the PS5 Pro is its price, but even that $50 discount makes it far more enticing, especially for those who have yet to grab Sony's latest console. You'd be hard-pressed to find a similar system, like a gaming laptop or PC, at this price that can deliver this kind of premium performance. Oh, and the PS5's library of must-play games just sweetens the pot. It's a shame it doesn't come with a disk drive, but its upgraded 2TB storage can help you store far more games, eliminating the need to make room each time you download a new one. If you're looking to pull out all the stops this Father's Day, a discounted PS5 Pro will go a long way for any gaming dad (it's what I'd wish I would be lucky enough to get one day). For even more Father's Day gift ideas, we've got you covered.

The Southern accent is disappearing. By golly, I'm holding on for dear life!
'Oh no!!!!!' 'Hush your mouth!" "No way!!" "Against my religion!" "Who do I call?" These are just a few gasps I uttered after learning that the Southern accent was slowly disappearing. Bless those evildoers' hearts; they don't understand that such a tragedy must not occur. Y'all can ask anybody what a hissy fit I throw when folks want to rid themselves of their accents. I like diversity in speech because it reflects each person's ancestry. Why do we want plain vanilla when adding sprinkles is more fun? Why do we desire to mold others into our likeness? I don't believe that was the Good Lord's intention. Some quirky folks from non-Southern states once believed our dialect was synonymous with limited intelligence. Come to find out, they weren't so smart. President Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many of our founding fathers are from Virginia. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, George Bush and nine other American Presidents are as Southern as grits. William Faulkner, who won the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature, is from Oxford, Mississippi. Southern authors such as Margaret Mitchell, Truman Capote, Harper Lee, Pat Conroy and Eudora Welly also expanded our minds with their eloquent words. People visit the Southland through books and their imaginations. Let's not forget the laughter we shared with the oh-so-Southern writer Lewis Grizzard and his dog, Catfish. The South gave birth to Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers and countless Black heroes whose bravery to live by the Christian principle of loving one another opened doors and hearts. Thank goodness. Imagine a world without the soulful jazz from New Orleans, the heartfelt country music from Tennessee, and the diverse stylings from every southern state. The South's musical influence is undeniable, and we continue to enrich the world with our unique sounds, putting our souls into every note. More: Black indie country musicians flourish in the South beyond Nashville's mainstream scene Where else could you learn to fry up a chicken, hogtie a fella, catch a mess of fish or hold your horses? These are uniquely Southern skills and sayings that make us who we are. Where could one go at midnight to buy a plunger without Sam Walton's Walmart? Flying Delta? Well, its Southern roots began in Macon, Georgia, in 1925. Maybe you need a Co-Cola while looking for a new hammer or doohickey at Home Depot. Several years ago, I wrote a story, "The Magic of the Fry Pan and Fried Chicken," published across America. A lady from Iowa wrote me and asked, 'How do you fry chicken?' After trying and failing to explain, I responded, "Ma'am, just go over yonder to your local KFC. They got the fixins, biscuits and sweet tea to go with that crispy goodness." Bless her heart, I reckon she never heard of an iron skillet. I'm worn slap out with highfalutin folks who know nothing about the richness found in the South. And worse, I am doggone, dern tired of those who are too big for their britches believing their God-given drawl should change. Plumb ridiculous!! I am proud of my roots, which began in Tennessee. My family settled in the Appalachian hills in the late 1700s and is still there today. They speak like little ol' me, and I couldn't be prouder. They are wise and wealthy beyond what money can buy. More: Why these Tennessee cities were ranked among Southern Living's best in the South When I moved from Tennessee to Georgia, I quickly realized that the Georgia accent differed from mine. Those Georgia peaches added letters to words. I learned that the "tile" I used to dry dishes was pronounced "tow-el." However, sometimes, when I'm babbling, I still omit unnecessary letters. Why add a "g" to banana puddin' or fixin' to? Hello? It is a high compliment when people say I sound like Dolly Parton. They may not see it that way, but they don't know nothin', and they can't sing like her, and they sure as heck don't own a theme park. Can you imagine Dolly Parton without her accent? Life just wouldn't be the same. Till those old cows come home, I reckon I'll never understand why we don't embrace our differences and cultures. Not one of us has identical fingerprints. God ensured that each of us was designed to achieve the best of who we can be. No matter what color we are or the accents we use, those sprinkles he added are our signature. Diversity has recently been perceived in a negative light. However, if we fail to embrace our distinctness, perhaps the God who created us all will not embrace us. We should consider that our accents and heritage do not define us as individuals. Instead, it is our goodness, kindness, and wisdom that truly shape our character. Honey child, our unique sprinkles keep us happier than a pig in the mud! Lynn Walker Gendusa is a writer in Georgia and the author of the book "Southern Comfort." She is originally from Monterey, Tennessee. This article originally appeared on Nashville Tennessean: It's the sprinkles, honey! A defense of Southern accents. | Opinion
