Bethenny Frankel, 54, flaunts her figure in TINY thong bikini during Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show
Bethenny Frankel shocked fans with her youthful appearance as she flaunted her figure in a tiny thong bikini at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit fashion show on Saturday. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, left very little to imagination as she strutted down the runway in various swimsuits for the coveted catwalk show in Miami Beach. For her first look, Bethenny donned sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up. Upon reaching the end of the catwalk, she ripped off the cover-up to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath. She turned around to show her backside to the audience, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise. Later, she emerged in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat; she also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit. The TV star oozed confidence, dancing and shaking her hips as she made her way down the runway. She also debuted a new, much-longer and lighter brown hairstyle at the event, rocking beach-like waves that fell perfectly around her face. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, left very little to imagination as she strutted down the runway in various swimsuits for the coveted catwalk show in Miami Beach After a video of Bethenny on the runway was shared to TikTok, many of her avid fans couldn't believe how young she looked. Hundreds rushed to the comment section to discuss her stunning appearance, and some even branded her as 'unrecognizable' thanks to her new 'do. 'Is that really Bethany Frankel?!!?! If so what did she get done? Where? Who? How much?!?!' one user asked. 'That hair just took off a decade! She is [fire],' gushed another. 'She looks great but I barely recognize her,' someone else added. 'Wow, I've never seen her look so good,' a fourth comment read. A fifth said, 'Is she in the witness protection program? She's unrecognizable.' Bethenny recently moved to Florida and her new life in the south is clearly doing wonders for her as her fans were right, she's never looked better. The reality TV personality previously explained that living with just her daughter Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, in an overly spacious house in New York 'was drowning her.' 'It was just the two of us,' she said in a TikTok video. 'It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. 'I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I'd be entertaining there a lot.' She continued: 'The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents. 'It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn't really know many people in that community. It was lonely.' She said she didn't want to be 'home alone' so she decided to 'simplify' their space. 'My simplification is someone else's complication because I'm still going to be in a beautiful home, but I just took on too much,' she explained. Hundreds rushed to the comment section to discuss her stunning appearance, and some even branded her as 'unrecognizable' thanks to her new 'do 'And the idea of something was different than the reality of it,' she continued. Bethenny added that she originally planned to downsize in four years when her daughter would be heading off to college, but she decided to go ahead with it now because of a 'moment.' 'This situation was drowning me and something else was distracting her and neither of us would say it out loud because this is just what it was,' she said cryptically. 'The moment it became about her, I was able to be honest with myself about how I felt and it freed both of us. I think I'll be lighter and brighter and happier in the coming months.'

The secret celeb siblings who shunned fame… from Osbourne ‘hermit' to Delevingne sister who's real brains of the family
Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... SIBLING rivalry can be fierce - but imagine if your brother or sister was a world famous celebrity? That's the case for Aydan Nix, the secret half-sister of Bella and Gigi Hadid, who only met her supermodel siblings for the first time less than two years ago. 17 17 Her mother had a brief romance with Bella and Gigi's multi-million dollar property tycoon dad Mohamed, but Aydan's connection to the family was kept under wraps for more than two decades, with her father not providing financial support. Aydan, 23, grew up in Florida with a different man whom she believed was her father, until he died when she was 19, prompting her to take a DNA test and discover she was in fact a Hadid. The sisters confirmed on Thursday that they'd met their half-sister, saying they have "cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family'. Adyan's case is pretty unusual, in that she had no idea of her showbiz connections until recently, and with her striking looks it wouldn't be surprising if she too began to carve out a star profile of her own. Snaps of the trio show them frequently enjoying trips to the beach together and nights out in swanky New York City nightclubs. But other siblings of famous stars often prefer a life out of the limelight, happy to live in their relative's shadow. Here we reveal the secret celebrity brothers and sisters you probably had no idea existed. Chloe Delevingne Her youngest sister Cara is one of the most famous supermodels and actresses in the world, while her other sister Poppy, 11 months her junior, has also made waves on the catwalk for brands like Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. But there's no doubt Chloe Delevingne, 39, is the brains of the family. While her sisters were posing up a storm, Chloe was studying biomedical science and tumour biology at the illustrious University College London. Bella Hadid's see-through dress was 'shocking' for 'sophisticated and elegant' Cannes – she 'should've dialed it down' 17 17 Chloe used her medical background to co-found the Lady Garden Foundation charity, which aims to raise awareness for gynaecological health. She's also been training to become a midwife, telling Cotswold Life in July 2023: 'It's hard but good and very rewarding. 'I think if you can help any woman when she is at her most vulnerable to have the birth she wants then there's a lot to be gained.' The three sisters also launched a vegan prosecco brand together in 2020. The Gallagher Sister 17 17 Given the Oasis brothers have only just managed to make it up with each other, it might not come as a surprise that they don't have the best relationship with their secret sister, who grew up round the corner in Burnage, Greater Manchester. Emma Davies, 51, was born just months after Liam in the very same hospital. She shares their dad Tommy, who had an affair with Emma's mother June. Despite this, the Oasis rockstars have reportedly refused her attempts to make contact and have never met each other. 'I would like to meet them. Obviously you're going to want to meet your brothers,' she previously told MailOnline. It was her buying the album (What's the story) Morning Glory that prompted Emma's mum to tell her the truth about who her father was. 'When she... saw the CD she said, 'I think you'd better sit down, I've got something to tell you.' I was completely flabbergasted,' Emma recalled. She last met her father in 2006 when she was 32, but his unstable nature quickly led them to become estranged again. The Oasis bandmates have also been estranged from their father for years, with Noel saying in 2019 his dad 'doesn't mean anything to me'. The Oasis rockers also have a lesser-known older brother, Paul Gallagher, who keeps out of the spotlight but has a close bond with them both. He revealed in a recent interview: 'I speak to the pair of them. I see Liam every other day." He has previously opened up about the pair's infamous public rift, saying: "I do my own thing, I stay away from it as much as humanely possible." The Osbournes - plus one 17 17 The Osbournes essentially paved the way of the Kardashians with their no holds barred, fly-on-the-wall reality show back in 2001. But while Sharon and Ozzy's kids Kelly and Jack welcomed the MTV crew into their lives, their older sister Aimee decided to opt out. At 16 she moved out of the family home, though later confessed she would have liked to stay a 'little longer'. 'Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?' she said. Now 40, she still keeps her private life under wraps, and has been dubbed the 'hermit' of the family. She has, however, followed in her father's footsteps with a career in music, and is currently lead singer of pop band ARO. She isn't exactly close with her sister, with Kelly telling the Dax Shepard podcast in 2023: 'We don't talk... We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her.' Aimee has echoed that sentiment. 'I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance,' she told The Independent. 'Do we socialise? No.' Fortunately she gets on well with her other sibling Jack - and together they're planning to produce a biopic all about their famous parents. The third Strictly sister 17 17 Strictly Come Dancing sisters Oti and Motsi Mabuse have revealed they have a secret third sister - who is the "best dancer" of them all. Their sister Phemelo, 39, who is the middle child of the family, keeps away from the limelight as she works as a mechanical engineer in South Africa. Nonetheless, the third sibling shares her sister's dancing abilities, keeping a toe in the professional dance world and competing at the World Dance Championships. Oti revealed on the Jonathan Ross Show: "To be honest, we have another sister, middle sister, she was the better dancer. "She's a mechanical engineer. She designs windmills which create electricity through wind in South Africa.' The siblings do occasionally post pictures together, however, and in their rare Instagram appearances, fans can't believe how similar the three are. Oti remarked that they all have the 'same nose' as one fan gushed they also have the 'same lips' and complimented them all as "beautiful". Scarlett Moffat 17 17 Famous on the telly for... watching the telly - there's almost an Inception-like feeling to Gogglebox. Out of all its ordinary people turned stars, Scarlett Moffatt is arguably the most famous of them all, especially after being crowned Queen of the Jungle following her stint on I'm A Celeb. While we've been watching her with parents Mark and Betty since she was 18, few will be aware Scarlett, now 34, has a younger sister, Ava, who is 15 years her junior. Fans did get a glimpse of Ava - now aged 18 and studying archeology at university - in season seven of Gogglebox. Scarlett has previously gushed over their close relationship despite the significant age gap, posting on her birthday: "Watching you grow up into the amazingly kind, intelligent, beautiful, bloody hilarious lady has been a blessing." The fourth Jonas Brother 17 17 Joe, Nick and Kevin together make up one of the most famous trios in pop music. But did you know that they could have been a quad? That's because they in fact have another brother, Frankie, who himself is a singer. He's also had some success as an actor, though nothing on the scale of his Camp Rock siblings. The 24-year-old launched a music career in 2023, and has since released two singles. And in typical Gen Z style, he's also starting to make a splash on TikTok. So could three become four? It might only be a matter of time. Doug Pitt 17 17 You might think being Brad Pitt's brother dooms you to a life as second fiddle. Fortunately his younger sibling Doug, has enjoyed plenty of success in his own right - just in an industry that's a lot more low-key than Brad's. The 58-year-old, who is married to wife Lisa and has three children, made a fortune of his own after selling a hefty stake of his computing company back in 2007. He's also a dedicated philanthropist, appointed the first ever Goodwill Ambassador for the United Republic of Tanzania in 2010 by President Jakaya Kikwete. And there's definitely no bitterness about having such a huge star as his older brother. In fact, he's even starred in a Virgin Mobile Australia advert portraying a comedic version of Brad as 'The Second Most Famous Pitt'.

Trump's tariff czar reveals the four countries on verge of trade deals…including a 'nasty' one
President Donald Trump 's top trade negotiator shared that the U.S. may be close to finalizing tariff deals with several major partners in coming weeks. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC that an imminent deal could be struck with the E.U. after Trump threatened increasing the 'nasty' union's rate to 50 percent earlier this month. Greer also shared that he has been in nearly constant contact with India 's top trade representative, claiming to have calls with them 'every day.' In addition, the trade rep. revealed that he plans on forwarding negotiations with Malaysia and Vietnam at the upcoming Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) meeting next week. He also said he will be talking to E.U. representatives at the gathering. Though not all news has been positive; China, Greer said, has 'violated' a trade agreement made with the U.S. in Geneva earlier this month - echoing a major complaint highlighted by Trump the same day. A handshake agreement between the world's two largest economies came earlier this month and was widely seen as a way to tamper tensions between the pair. China was hit with a tariff rate in excess of 145 percent earlier this year before the agreement, but the rate then came down to around 30 percent. Trump said he expects to talk to Chinese President Xi Jinping during an Oval Office press conference with DOGE leader Elon Musk on Friday. 'I'm sure that I'll speak to President Xi and hopefully we'll work that out, but its a violation of the agreement,' he said. The president said he is sure they will talk as the countries remain at odds over trade. Earlier in the day the 78-year-old commander in chief sent off a salvo on Truth Social lambasting China for violating the Geneva deal. 'Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to trade into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the world,' his post began. 'We went, in effect, cold turkey with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, 'civil unrest,'' it continued. 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, has totally violated its agreement with us.' The agreement made between Greer, Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent and some top Chinese officials in Geneva in May stipulated that the two countries would unwind tariffs and trade restrictions on certain critical minerals. Greer accused China of slow-walking that process during his interview Friday. 'The Chinese are slow-rolling their compliance, which is completely unacceptable and it has to be addressed,' he stated. Soon after, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in D.C., Liu Pengyu, hit back at the claims. 'Recently, China has repeatedly raised concerns with the US regarding its abuse of export control measures in the semiconductor sector and other related practices,' they said in a statement. 'China once again urges the US to immediately correct its erroneous actions, cease discriminatory restrictions against China and jointly uphold the consensus reached at the high-level talks in Geneva.' The spokesperson's complaint comes after a Reuters report that the U.S. ordered some companies to stop shipping goods to China without certain licensing. Products ranging from semiconductors, chemicals, software and aviation equipment are among the restricted items, sources shared. The president announced a 90 day pause on some tariffs earlier this year, with many steep rates coming back into effect this summer if U.S. trade partners do not sign deals. Vietnam was hit especially hard by the White House's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement in April. On a massive board showcasing the rates to be imposed held aloft by Trump on stage, Vietnam was slapped with one of the highest tariffs at 46 percent. Malaysia, meanwhile, was hit with a 24 percent rate under Trump's reciprocal tariff plan while India faces a 27 percent rate. Earlier this week, Trump was dealt a devastating blow, albeit a temporary one. A three-judge panel at the U.S. New York-based Court of International Trade ruled that parts of the president's tariff regime was unlawful. The ruling argued that Trump had wrongfully invoked an emergency law to justify the levies. Erupting with frustration, some in the White House vented that the move was akin to a 'judicial coup' against the president's executive authority. The pause was short-lived, though, after an appeals court issued a stay on the panel's ruling that have allowed the tariffs to remain. The appeals court demanded to hear from the Trump administration and the litigating parties, Democratic-led states and a group of small businesses. The case remains ongoing, though the White House has multiple tools at its disposal to implement tariffs in other ways if the court rules against it.
