Heidi Klum Dances While Gardening in an Itty-Bitty Nude String Bikini
Heidi Klum shared a selfie video on Instagram of herself dancing as she watered the plants in her garden in a nude-colored string bikini. Klum's video is part of her campaign for Calzedonia. She has shared a number of shots of herself in Calzedonia bikinis in recent weeks along with an image of herself in nothing but Calzedonia Klum has been doing some rather unorthodox gardening this week. In a new Instagram post, the model and TV presenter filmed herself watering her plants while dancing in a nude string bikini. In the video, she gazed into the camera as she flung her blonde hair around to Tate McRae's "Sports Car" as her dog walked around in the background. She wore a smokey eye look, chunky gold earrings, and white sandals alongside her nude-colored bikini. "Did you know that I have hazel eyes? 🌰👁️," she wrote in the caption, referencing a lyric from the song, before tagging Calzedonia. Klum has posted a number of shots of herself in Calzedonia's swimwear and hoisery in recent months. In April, for instance, she shared a snap of herself going pantsless at the sound studio to show off her Calzedonia stockings. Last year, Klum opened up about her confidence in wearing skimpier outfits. 'I'm not shy about my femininity. I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings—but that doesn't mean I want to go home with you,' the model said to The Times. One day before posting her latest bikini video, Klum shared a rare video of her son Johan, whom she shares with Seal, graduating from high school. "Cheering you on today and every day ❤️ CONGRATULATIONS JOHAN 🎓🥳🙏❤️ my heart is full of joy and pride ❤️❤️❤️❤️," Klum captioned the post. A few weeks earlier, she made a rare joint appearance with Henry, her other son with Seal, at the AMA awards. Read the original article on InStyle

CNN correspondent in tears as she reveals MTV VJ Ananda Lewis' final text before her death
A friend of Ananda Lewis has opened up about the final text message she received from the former MTV video jockey. On Wednesday, Lewis's sister posted on Facebook that her sister died, writing, 'She's free, and in His heavenly arms. Lord, rest her soul.' The announcement came after Lewis revealed in October 2024 that her breast cancer had spread and progressed to stage 4. CNN correspondent Stephanie Elam joined Sara Sidner on the channel on Thursday to discuss their last interactions with Lewis. 'One thing I want everyone to know is that she was at peace with this decision,' Elam, 51, said about Lewis and her decision to refuse receiving a double-mastectomy. 'She had come to grips with it.' 'We thought we had weeks and it turned out that it turned into days and it turned out it was just a matter of hours. It happened very quickly how things changed.' Elam then proceeded to read Lewis's final text message to her. 'She texted me and said things had taken a different turn than she would have liked,' the CNN correspondent said. 'This is part of the text she sent me: 'You know my feelings on this. We all go. These bodies are on loan and must be returned. We come in love and choose to leave it with love as well.'' She added: 'And then she goes on to say, 'I love you my wonderful lifelong bestie of besties.'' Lewis had first revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2020. In her Instagram post, Lewis encouraged women to receive annual mammograms because she had avoided them due to a fear of radiation exposure. Speaking with Elam and Sidner during a CNN round-table discussion in October 2024, she revealed her cancer had spread and progressed to stage 4. At the time, the former VJ also revealed why she decided to keep her tumor instead of undergoing a double mastectomy, which her doctors recommended. 'My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,' she told Elam and Sidner. 'I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way. Looking back on that, I go, 'You know what? Maybe I should have.'' According to the CNN segment, Lewis's methods of treating her breast cancer included medication, radiation, and improving her sleep and diet. On Thursday's segment, Elam reflected on her friend's holistic approach to treating her cancer, saying, 'I love my girl, but she was hard-headed.' 'She wanted to do it her own way despite the fact that so many of us close to her wanted her to try the way that [Sara Sidner] did it. But this is what she wanted to do and she was totally at peace with it.'

Planned takeover by Drake fans at Kendrick Lamar's Toronto show flops
A group of Drake fans who pitched an 'OVO Takeover' to counter Kendrick Lamar's concert in Toronto saw their efforts flame out in spectacular fashion Thursday night. An Instagram post shared earlier this week called on fans of the Toronto rapper 'to meet outside the Rogers Centre at 5:30 PM on June 12 & 13' to let Lamar know that 'this ain't just any city. This is DRAKE'S city.' The message said the rally was meant to celebrate Drake, who was involved in a high-profile feud with Lamar last year. 'No hate, no drama – just pure Toronto energy, positive vibes, and a full-out celebration of the legend who BUILT the sound of this city,' organizers said. But shortly before the show started, the gathering was scrapped after police shut them down. In an Instagram post, a group calling itself The 6 Takeover said they were trying to 'create good vibes for the city.' 'But unfortunately, some people decided to report us, falsely claiming we were planning to 'start trouble' or cause chaos,' they wrote. 'Because of those reporters, police were already on high alert and were quick to shut down anything that even looked like a crowd forming – including us.' They then returned to the platform to ask for donations to help foot the bill for the $11,000 they allegedly spent for Drake-themed hoodies planners had purchased for attendees. 'It's for a good cause, and any amount is appreciated,' the coordinators begged. They also claimed that Lamar was 'too shook to sleep in Toronto.' 'Man pulled up with SWAT like he was entering a warzone, then dipped to NYC to sleep before flying back for his next show. You can't make this s*** up,' they wrote. Multiple posts on X mocked the group's failed efforts to boycott Lamar and urged the government 'to do something about the unemployment level.' 'Taking on debts for your favourite millionaire is insanity,' one person joked. Others made fun of the low turnout, with several commenters calling the meet-up 'so embarrassing.' 'One hundred years from now, y'all will be the main attraction in the Cornball History Museum,' another critic added. Inside the venue, videos shared to social media showed it was all love between Lamar and the sold-out crowd that packed Rogers Centre. When Lamar dusted off his chart-topping Not Like Us, a diss track that seemingly ended his beef with Drake, the audience cheered relentlessly and pleaded for him to play the song 'One more time.' It was a triumphant victory lap and perhaps the final word on a rap rivalry that started last spring after Lamar responded to a line in Drake and J. Cole's 2023 song First Person Shooter, in which Cole referred to the three of them as the industry's three greatest hip-hop artists. 'We the big three like we started a league,' Cole rapped. Lamar dismissed that declaration on Future and Metro Boomin's Like That, spitting back, 'It's just big me.' He also hit out at Drake on back-to-back diss tracks Euphoria and 6:16 in LA in which he called the lyricist 'a terrible person.' Drake escalated the feud by mocking Lamar for appearing on songs by Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift and made digs at the Compton freestyler's short stature, calling him a 'pipsqueak.' On another diss track, Taylor Made Freestyle, Drake used AI-generated rhymes by Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg to further besmirch Lamar's name. Swift also got dragged into their back-and-forth battle when Drake declared she was the 'biggest gangster in the music game right now.' Then on his Family Matters number, Drake accused Lamar of physical abuse and infidelity. But on his Grammy-winning Not Like Us, Lamar took things to another level when he branded Drake as a pedophile. 'Say Drake, I hear you like 'em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any bitch that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your little sister from him,' he rapped. The lines alluded to a 2010 concert video that resurfaced nearly a decade later in which the Canadian hitmaker invited a teenage fan onto the stage at a Denver show, where he proceeded to dance and fondle her. Lamar's Not Like Us also included a dig at his adversary's Certified Lover Boy album title ('Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophile'), made claims that he slept with Lil Wayne's ex and used an image of Drake's Toronto mansion marked with red pedophile markers as the track's cover art. Drake ended up suing Universal Music Group, the label which represents both artists, accusing the company of promoting Lamar's false pedophilia allegations and putting his life in danger. But Universal Music said that Drake was a willing participant in the war of words when he released his own inflammatory diss tracks aimed at Lamar and hinted he was trying to take legal action because he was the loser in their rap feud. 'Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated,' they responded in April. 'Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.' In the lead-up to the pair of Toronto concerts this week, tickets for Lamar's shows were slow moving and prices dropped significantly. RTN Canada shared a post that noted that tickets that once were priced over $1,000 had dropped below $161. 'The price reduction is attributed to dynamic pricing adjustments and the availability of unsold seats and low demand,' they shared in a post that garnered more than 94,000 likes, including a heart from none other than … Drake. mdaniell@ 'Someone check on Drake': Kendrick Lamar's Grammy win final nail in Toronto rapper's coffin Drake's ex Serena Williams dances to Kendrick Lamar's diss track at Super Bowl: 'That's legendary' Chet Hanks hilariously explains Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake feud to dad Tom Hanks Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?
