American Pickers star Danielle Colby, 49, flashes underboob in crop top and skimpy thong for risqué photo
Danielle Colby left little to the imagination while posing for a risqué Instagram snap. The 49-year-old TV personality - who is known for appearing on the History channel reality series American Pickers - sported a crop top and skimpy thong bottoms in a post that was shared Tuesday. Colby - who prefers they/them pronouns - allowed their locks to flow down past their shoulders in light waves. The burlesque dancer additionally slipped into a pair of open-toed heels while gazing towards the camera. The star held a cigarette in their hand while seated on what appeared to be a settee for the spontaneous photo session. Colby briefly stepped away from social media in January before returning two months later with a new Instagram account and also resumed posting OnlyFans content. When they are not busy stepping in front of the camera for American Pickers, Colby continues to follow their passion for burlesque and also teaches classes. The media personality also opened the Ecdysiast Arts Museum earlier this summer which is located in Davenport, Iowa. It is described as, 'a new cultural space that honors the legacy of burlesque and celebrates performers who helped shape modern entertainment,' per a post by Downtown Davenport. Colby will often take to their main Instagram page - which boasts around 26K followers - to show off their burlesque skills and accompanying costumes. Earlier this month, the reality star also had the chance to headline the Ohio Burlesque Festival. During a past interview with Fox News in 2018, Colby - whose stage name is Dannie Diesel - opened up about how their passion for burlesque came to be. 'The interesting thing is I grew up a Jehovah's Witness and I had a very, very strict upbringing,' the star explained. 'So burlesque wasn't something that was really around for me. I couldn't be around it. It was new and taboo.' Colby further added, 'The burlesque journey has really been an interesting one for me. It's part of my life journey, my relationship with my body and my relationship with sexuality. 'It's deep and it really started from a place of anxiety and depression. It really helped me blossom into a person who is less anxious and less depressed.' The dancer added that burlesque has 'taught me a lot about ego, humanity, kindness, sharing. It also taught me a lot about what I don't want to be and what I do want to be.' Colby has also appeared in the latest 27th season of American Pickers which began airing episodes on July 2. The star joined other co-stars including Mike Wolfe, Robbie Wolfe and also Jon 'Jersey' Szalay. Colby has been appearing on the show since it initially premiered back in 2010. Last year in September, former castmate Frank Fritz passed away at the age of 60 due to the effects of a stroke he had suffered in 2022. At the time of his death, Colby penned a heartbreaking tribute and said, 'Frank, I will miss your ability to make everyone laugh, your love for talking tattoos, your epic collections but what I will miss the most are those little glimpses of vulnerability from time to time.' The TV personality continued, 'Frank, you loved your cat and your momma and we bonded on those things. 'You will be missed for all of these reasons and so many more. Rest in Peace Road Dog.' While talking to Newsweek last month in July, Colby reflected on Fritz's passing as well as his absence from American Pickers. 'Boy, we miss Frank. We miss his laughter. We miss his sense of humor,' the dancer expressed to the outlet. 'I think his sense of humor was the most important piece of his personality that really kept us together and kept things on the same thread. And it was, man, that sense of humor is sharp. A very, very witty man.' The reality star further expressed, 'We love Frank and we miss him,' before adding the Fritz's death had been a 'huge loss'; Fritz seen in 2011 Colby added that they missed the 'moments where he was emotionally vulnerable and would give me a hug or, you know, call up and ask questions, or ask for advice. I miss those moments when he was able to kind of like reach out very personally.' The reality star further expressed, 'We love Frank and we miss him,' before adding the Fritz's death had been a 'huge loss.' 'Huge loss for the community here in the Quad Cities. Huge loss the world. Huge, huge loss for us.' The season 27 finale of American Pickers is slated to air on the History channel later this month on August 20.

Destination X reveals savage ‘sabotage' twist as player handed game-changing advantage ahead of brutal cliffhanger
DESTINATION X unveiled a brutal 'sabotage' twist - with one player receiving a huge advantage amid a savage cliffhanger. The BBC programme sees a group of strangers try to figure out where they are in Europe through a series of clues in a bid to win £100,000. 5 Viewers have been gripped by new competition series Destination X Credit: BBC 5 Host Rob Brydon revealed a game-changing twist to one player Credit: BBC 5 Josh received massive power within the competitive game Credit: BBC Contestants will try any tactic to win and the latest episode saw one given a massive advantage. The players balance champagne glasses on a tray - while answering tough questions about their opponents. Josh, a 26-year-old pilot, emerged as the victor and soon learned of a huge twist. Host Rob Brydon privately informed Josh that he would have the power to sabotage a rival. Elimination occurs when the line-up place their 'X' markers based on where they believe themselves to be. Josh received the ability to move someone's 'X' by 250km, which could effectively ensure their exit. Reacting to the game-changing news, he said: "I feel like I've got a lot of influence on the game, which I like having." Josh also didn't have to take part in the next challenge - but got to see a big clue alongside the winners. Elsewhere, he identified fellow players Nick, Judith and Claire as potential targets for sabotage. Although Josh seemingly planned to choose Nick, viewers will have to learn the outcome. Destination X viewers slam show for being 'too easy' after they guess location - as contestant makes huge clue blunder This episode ended on a tense cliffhanger - with Rob having dropped a huge bombshell. Namely, that the bottom two players' X markers were only 600 metres apart. One viewer wrote online: "The sabotage is not fair." Another remarked: "Sorry but why did Josh get to win a ridiculously overpowered advantage AND get the winning clue just from the standard side game??" Whether Nick - who was identified by the others as the biggest threat - has his exit sealed or survives to play on remains to be seen. Viewers will also have to wait to discover where exactly the latest Destination X is. Players and fans alike seem to agree it's Italy, but are divided on the precise spot. One person wrote on X: "They're defo on the south of Italy near Sicily." Another penned: "Changed me mind, Italy, Venice?" A third chimed in: "Donatella Versace. That drink looks like a Campari Spritz. Milan?" Destination X continues on BBC One and iPlayer. 5 Josh had a big decision to make Credit: BBC

BREAKING: Taylor Swift reveals huge star who will appear on new album The Life of a Showgirl
The much anticipated New Neights podcast episode featuring Taylor Swift has now been released and she drops some major news. Sabrina Carpenter will appear on her new album. It had been announced on Tuesday that Taylor, 35, would be a guest on the podcast, which is hosted by her partner Travis Kelce, 35, and his brother Jason Kelce, 37. A preview released on social media at the time had shown the singer-songwriter teasing her new album The Life of a Showgirl. The promotional clip showed Taylor telling Jason, who, like his brother, is known for playing in the NFL, whilst recording the podcast: "So I wanted to show you something." He responded by asking her: "Okay, what do we go?" Taylor held up a briefcase that had her initials on the front, before pulling out a vinyl sleeve that had been blurred. Confirming the name of her next album, she shared in the clip: "This is my brand new album, the Life of a Showgirl." She had announced the Life of a Showgirl, which is her twelfth original album, on August 12 and it's said that the podcast teaser was shared on Instagram at 12.12am. The album cover wasn't revealed though, with an orange padlock on a green backdrop used to temporarily conceal the artwork on her social media account and website following the news. It comes just months on from Taylor sharing with fans in May that she now owns "all of the music" that she's ever made. That announcement came following years of her releasing re-recorded versions of albums from earlier in her career following a dispute over her back catalogue. She said in a statement earlier this year: "The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Taylor also said at the time: "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it." Not including the four re-recorded albums she's released, the Life of a Showgirl will be Taylor's twelfth studio album to date. It follows the Tortured Poets Department, released by the Grammy Award winner in April last year. That album topped the charts upon its release and was said to have broken records. It included, according to the Official Charts Company, her becoming the first artist to have 12 number one albums in the UK the 21st century.
