Tori Spelling, 52, posts bikini pin-up snap for first time in years... as she continues Ryan Cramer, 46, romance
Tori Spelling has shared a pin-up bikini photo to Instagram for the first time in several years. The 52-year-old TV and movie actress looked slender and toned as she showed off her figure in a colorful striped two-piece bathing suit while on the sandy beach. The Beverly Hills, 90210 veteran was on vacation with her family at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. The blonde Los Angeles native has five children with ex Dean McDermott: Liam, 18, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, eight. 'Spring break + my birthday celebration with my favorite people at @atlantisbahamas. Grateful for this time to unwind, laugh, and make memories in paradise. ☀️,' she wrote in her caption as she credited Finn McDermott as the photographer. Spelling is officially dating her on-again boyfriend Ryan Cramer, 46, again — nearly two years after they were last publicly spotted together.

The 52-year-old TV and movie actress looked slender and toned as she showed off her figure in a colorful striped two-piece bathing suit while on the sandy beach. The marks on her tummy are belly piercings The reality TV personality and her former flame reportedly rekindled their romance 'a few months' ago before they made their relationship red carpet official a little over a week ago. The pair attended at the Los Angeles premiere of The Carters docuseries last in April and sparked reconciliation rumors after posing for photos together. He works as an advertising CEO. The pair were first romantically linked two years ago when they were spotted making out during a romantic dinner date — just months after Spelling's separation from her ex-husband McDermott, 58. Spelling was previously married to McDermott for nearly two decades before they parted ways in 2023 and she filed for divorce in early 2024. In her legal filing, their date of separation was listed as June 17, 2023. McDermott also shares adult son Jack, 25, with his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustance. The insider revealed that even after Spelling and her new beau broke up, they remained in contact 'here and there' in the past two years. 'She feels it was serendipitous that they reconnected and hit it off again,' the source told the outlet. The insider also said Spelling feels supported by Cramer because he is 'the least judgmental person.' The source added that the reality star 'is really happy and feels like her life is moving in a great direction.' Another insider also told the outlet that the couple previously met through work before their romance initially began in 2023. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TORI SPELLING (@torispelling) Cramer is the co-founder and CEO of a California-based advertising agency Neuron Syndicate. 'She thought he was very charming and handsome,' the source said at the time. 'Tori is really excited about the new relationship.' Their reconciliation comes just a couple weeks after Spelling opened up about single life and admitted she has fears of 'dying alone.' 'I'm now 51 and single again with five kids, so I don't even know where I stand in the future,' she told guest Aubrey O'Day on the April 4 episode of her misSPELLING podcast. 'I just don't want to be alone,' she continued as she broke down in tears. 'I don't want to die alone. I don't know what I'm doing right now.' Also in April she said a conversation with her daughter led to the breakdown of her marriage. Speaking on her 'misSPELLING' podcast, Tori revealed Hattie asked her: 'Have you ever considered what it would be like to be with someone else and not dad and get treated right?' Although Tori insisted that Hattie 'loves her dad', the question made her consider if staying in the marriage was the best thing for the kids. She explained: 'It got to the point where it was worse for the kids to see us together. We could no longer hide what was happening, the fights.' Tori also revealed that Dean's alcoholism took a toll, saying: 'He was an addict going through a lot, and a lot of it was taken out on me. 'And she saw that. I didn't like the person I was, trying to raise strong humans and just taking it and taking it. 'On my part, at least, the want of kids, just always wanting their parents together, I think kept me from making what was outwardly a better decision for them than what they saw between two partners. 'That kept me in the relationship far too long, and it ultimately, I feel, did a disservice to my kids.' Meanwhile, Dean entered rehab after their split and celebrated one year of sobriety last July. He wrote on Instagram: 'Last week was an incredible week of love, hugs and recovery. Thank you to my Sponsor, my Sponsee Brothers and everyone in the fellowship for celebrating my 1 year birthday. 'If you're struggling with addiction, just surrender and ask for help. We're here waiting for you, to love you, until you love yourself.'

Police in Bahamas say Maryland man found dead on resort beach drowned
The Brief A 23-year-old from Bowie, Maryland, was found dead on a private resort beach in the Bahamas last week. Bahamian authorities announced on Wednesday that an autopsy revealed the man drowned to death. His family remains skeptical and believes foul play was involved, saying he appeared to have been beaten. PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas - A Bowie family is searching for answers after their son died during a family vacation at a popular resort in the Bahamas. Now, Bahamian police are saying the man drowned to death but his family is deeply skeptical of the medical examiner's findings. The mother of 23-year-old Dinari McAlmont has been outspoken since her son was found dead — just 12 hours after the family arrived at the Atlantis Paradise Bahamas resort in Nassau. What they're saying Speaking to Eyewitness News Bahamas, Michelle McAlmont said when she went to identify the remains of her child, his face was "traumatized" and he appeared beaten to death. She said the same in an exclusive interview with FOX 5's Shomari Stone Tuesday night, before the cause of death had been announced. "When I looked at the photo they showed me, my son was beaten," she said through tears. "I need justice for my baby. I need justice." Now, Dianari's parents are outraged after hearing that police in the Bahamas are saying "foul play is not suspected at this time." The Bahamian police said in a statement that "a post-mortem examination was performed, and the pathologist's findings revealed that the deceased died as a result of drowning." Michelle McAlmont vehemently disagrees. "There is foul play," she told FOX 5. "Because of all the bruises and you can see when somebody is abused and hit at, yes, and that is why I am saying that." The backstory Dinari and his parents left their Bowie home on Friday, headed to the Bahamas for a family vacation. They arrived at the Atlantis Paradise Bahamas resort that evening and the family says Dinari decided to explore the resort around 8:45 p.m. They say hours later, staff members inquired about Dinari's whereabouts. Dinari's parents looked, and said the location sharing service on his phone was inactive and the Bahamian police showed up. "The police said that they were looking for him because, apparently, he had spat on some staff in a restaurant," Michelle McAlmont said. But she says she could not confirm that allegation. She and her husband searched the resort and made a missing person's flier. They say police came back early Saturday morning, saying Dinari was dead, his remains found on the resort's private beach. FOX 5 reached out to the Atlantis Resort and they responded, saying, "We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of our thoughts and condolences are with the guest's family and loved ones during this difficult time. This is an active police investigation and we are fully cooperating." What's next The Bahamian police say they're waiting for the forensic toxicology analysis and that the death investigation will continue. Dinari's parents want police to release all the surveillance video that they believe may show what led up to their son's death. "I would expect nothing more than a full and thorough investigation," Michelle McAlmont said. The McAlmont family says they have hired a lawyer who specializes in international relations.

Atlantis, The Cove expected to create critical mass for West Oahu tourism
COURTESY HUDSON HENRY / THE RESORT GROUP The vision for further development of luxury tourism at Ko Olina, located along the Waianae coastline, is taking shape again. China Oceanwide Holdings on Feb. 26 completed the transfer of approximately 44 prime oceanfront acres to California-based Kam Sang Co. Inc., putting an Atlantis Resort and other luxury options back on the table. COURTESY HUDSON HENRY / THE RESORT GROUP The vision for further development of luxury tourism at Ko Olina, located along the Waianae coastline, is taking shape again. China Oceanwide Holdings on Feb. 26 completed the transfer of approximately 44 prime oceanfront acres to California-based Kam Sang Co. Inc., putting an Atlantis Resort and other luxury options back on the table. The long-awaited Atlantis Resort—a vision that goes back about a decade—is back on the table for Hawaii. China Oceanwide Holdings on Feb. 26 completed the transfer of approximately 44 prime oceanfront acres, spanning two lagoons at Ko Olina, to California-based Kam Sang Co. Inc., according to Ko Olina's master developer, The Resort Group. The deal moves Hawaii closer to getting the U.S.'s first-ever Atlantis Resort. It also puts Ko Olina, which is just over 50 % built, on the path again to reaching full build-out. That so-far elusive milestone is expected to generate $9.5 billion in economic impact, including more than $300 million in annual tax revenues, and create more than 40, 000 permanent jobs, according to data from global hospitality consulting firm HVS. Kam Sang has agreed to become the lead developer of the planned Atlantis Resort, which was previously announced in December 2016 as part of a partnership between Kerzner International and China Oceanwide. Kam Sang also is exploring other hotel and resort brands including the Regent (IHG ), the Mandarin Oriental, the St. Regis, the Waldorf Astoria, the Fairmont (Accor ) and others. Jeff Stone, CEO and president of The Resort Group, said in a statement, 'We are very pleased to introduce Kam Sang and the Lam family to Hawaii. They embody the spirit and quality of development we envision for Ko Olina's future.' 'Over the last 27 + years, my family has dedicated itself to building a sustainable, Hawaii focused hospitality community that enriches the lives of our local residents and offers unforgettable experiences for our visitors, ' Stone said. 'These projects will generate more quality, high-paying jobs and fuel the economic engine we created with the support of our governor and mayor. We remain committed to supporting our community and acting as mindful long-term stewards of this special place.' Don 't miss out on what 's happening !

This form is protected by reCAPTCHA. At the same time, new development partners are advancing a previously delayed plan to revitalize one of Hawaii's oldest and most popular tourist attractions, Paradise Cove Luau, on a site that is located between Aliinui Drive and the shoreline, which is not part of Ko Olina Resort but is adjacent to its entrance and is expected to help create critical mass for West Oahu tourism. 'For Hawaii to have the first and last Atlantis Resort in the U.S. is huge, and that along with The Cove redevelopment is creating more buzz and interest in Ko Olina, ' said Mufi Hanne mann, chair of the Hawai 'i Tourism Authority and president and CEO of the Hawai 'i Lodging and Tourism Association. 'As a destination we are facing increasing competition, and more importantly people always want to know what's new and what's different about Hawaii. With the Aulani there, with the Four Seasons there, and now Atlantis Resort poised to be completed in five years, it just supports the idea that we are a world-class aren't a tired old place. We continue to evolve.' Waikiki, with more than 31, 000 lodging units, remains the most-visited destination in the isles and the center of the state's tourism-based economy. But Ko Olina, supported by more West Oahu tourism amenities, has the potential to head in the direction of another Wailea, the high-end resort community in South Maui, according to Kevin Aucello, principal and co-founder of Powell & Aucello, the firm that represented Kam Sang in the deal. 'It's one of the last few oceanfront entitled parcels in Hawaii, which is extremely rare. It's in a great resort with beautiful beaches so it's a very unique opportunity, ' Aucello said. 'They are still pretty early in the planning phase. They are trying to look at feasibility and running their numbers on what their options are. But everything is on the table, I believe, for our client.' CBRE, which represented China Oceanwide in the sale, said in a news release that the lot adjacent to Aulani Resort is entitled to up to 1.5 million square feet of developable area and up to 1, 400 units. 'The seller had proposed a 1, 383-key Atlantis Resort & Residence Ko Olina (subject to design review ), which would feature 37, 500 square feet of retail, 1, 200-seating restaurant options, an aquarium and pools, and opens up to two of Ko Olina's signature beach lagoons, ' CBRE said. CBRE said the other lot is entitled for up to 990, 000 square feet of development and is approved for up to 850 units comprising either hotel, branded residential or timeshare space. The Cove Redevelopment of the site known as The Cove marks the first major improvement in over 25 years of a nearly 11-acre site that is adjacent to Ko Olina but in its own coastal resort section. The partnership, Cove Campbell Kobayashi LLC, has published two volumes of a final environmental impact statement for the project, which were accepted Feb. 20 by the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting. The plan calls for replacing existing structures with a new performing arts venue and updated luau. They also plan to create 'an authentic Hawaiian community gathering place ' with the addition of new restaurants, retail space and cultural /educational programming that 'honors history, culture, and connection to place.' Kevin Penn, president and CEO of the James Campbell Co., said in a statement, 'The Cove Redevelopment contributes significantly to the Ko Olina resort area by enhancing its cultural, economic, and community offerings, creating a unique destination for both residents and visitors alike.' Penn said The Cove will feature cultural performance spaces, restaurants, retail shops and open spaces that reflect the site's historical and cultural significance. 'This site has a been a place for cultural and commercial activity since the 1970's and this project is an opportunity to modernize facilities while celebrating the area's heritage, ' he said. Penn said The Cove is expected to sustain over 400 full-time jobs, contributing to the local economy. 'Overall, we're excited that The Cove will create a vibrant hub of activity that complements the resort area's existing amenities, ' he said. The property has been the site of a luau catering to tourists since 1979, initially under a conditional use permit on land zoned for agricultural use. Later, the property was rezoned for commercial use that permits restaurants and retail associated with a 'Hawaiian Theme Park ' along with the luau and other operations that include weddings. The site fronting a public beach in a natural cove was once the home of Alice Kamokilaikawai Campbell, daughter of businessman James Campbell, who bought 41, 000 acres in West Oahu in 1877 and later leased much of the real estate to sugar cane plantations that were replaced in more recent decades by urban development, including Oahu's 'second city ' of Ka polei and Ko Olina. Ko Olina's evolving vision The vision of nearby Ko Olina, which means 'Place of Joy, ' has taken shape over the last couple of decades and is still evolving. There are 642 acres in the master-planned resort, which was historically a retreat for Hawaii's royalty along the Waianae mountain range. Previous developments within Ko Olina include Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa with Disney Vacation Club homes ; Four Seasons Resort O 'ahu at Ko Olina ; Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club ; and the Beach Villas at Ko Olina vacation residences. Ko Olina also includes the state's largest private deep-draft marina along with golf and ocean activities, music, wedding and entertainment venues, and a retail center. Hannemann said he took a strong interest in Ko Olina during his two terms as Honolulu mayor, when he sought to make Kapolei a secondary urban center. 'I coined the phrase, 'I don't want it to be a second city, I want it to be a great city, '' he said. 'I think what is happening now is going to fulfill the vision that we've wanted to see.' Oceanwide's plans for Atlantis were initially announced in late 2016 after the company bought 26 acres of land in front of two human-made lagoons at Ko Olina for $280 million. By 2022, Oceanwide was in financial trouble and trying to generate cash to revive a massive Los Angeles project by selling properties in Hawaii and New York. Chinese-based property investors faced heightened struggles with overseas projects in 2018 after the Beijing regime restricted international capital flows in 2018, and then in 2021 when China real estate firms were threatened by tighter credit requirements. Ko Olina development also slowed down with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Aucello said, 'a lot of that had to do with China Oceanwide having financial challenges in a lot of different markets and being told to reorganize and give up on certain projects. I think that was the thing that slowed things down in Ko Olina (rather ) than that there's not a market for luxury vacation properties. ' He said his California-based clients are 'very experienced and very successful in the luxury hotel and branded residential space, ' and know Hawaii well. 'Ko Olina does need some additional offerings of things to do—retail and restaurants, things like that, ' Aucello said. 'The (owners ) of The Cove and I suspect (Kam Sang ) has plans for its two parcels that will probably provide more of what is needed. I think both of those projects will eventually help it become a full-service resort so that people can stay there for longer periods of time.'———Star-Advertiser reporter Andrew Gomes contributed to this story. 1 Comments By participating in online discussions you acknowledge that you have agreed to the.
