Livvy Dunne posed through the pain — Sports Illustrated cover shot with a broken kneecap
Livvy Dunne confesses to shooting Sports Illustrated cover while hiding a painful knee injury (Getty Images) Olivia "Livvy" Dunne may have left the gymnastics mat, but she's still flipping expectations. The former LSU gymnastics star recently made waves not just for landing the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, but for the grit it took to get there—posing through the pain of a fractured kneecap. Behind Livvy Dunne 's stunning Sports Illustrated cover is a hidden injury that made it hurt In a behind-the-scenes Instagram reel released by Livvy Dunne, fans got a rare peek into her Bermuda shoot for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. The sunny beaches and vibrant swimsuits may have painted a picture-perfect scene, but underneath it all was a harsh reality few knew. 'Fun fact, I was shooting on a fractured kneecap, so poses like this and the cover shot kind of hurt, but it was honestly so worth it,' Dunne revealed in the video voiceover, as she knelt on the sand in an animal print bikini—ironically striking the very pose that ended up gracing the cover. Interestingly, Dunne had no idea during the shoot that she was creating what would become one of the year's most talked-about magazine covers. 'Little did she know she was shooting her COVER,' the official Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Instagram commented. The injury wasn't a surprise to her loyal followers. Two months earlier, in March, Dunne had already shared her battle with an avulsion fracture of her patella—an injury that benched her during LSU's senior night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo 'Hi friends! Unfortunately, I've been dealing with an avulsion fracture of my patella and will not be able to compete on senior night,' she wrote. 'It absolutely breaks my heart to not get the opportunity to compete in the PMAC one last time. Tiger fans, you've been so good to me! Thank you for the endless support and as always Geaux Tigers! – Liv.' Her college gymnastics journey wrapped in April with LSU finishing third in the NCAA semifinals. Dunne marked the end of this era with heartfelt words in a tribute video: 'You will always be my first love… Time did fly by and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life.' While she said goodbye to gymnastics, Dunne stepped into the spotlight of her next chapter. 'I AM A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIM COVER MODEL! Somebody pinch me!' she wrote in May, as her cover was officially unveiled—joining the likes of Salma Hayek, Jordan Chiles, and Lauren Chan.

'Have some shame': Travis and Jason Kelce spark fan backlash over hosting Wayne Gretzky on New Heights podcast
Travis and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast faces backlash for featuring NHL legend Wayne Gretzky (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, are no strangers to entertaining fans with their popular 'New Heights' podcast. But their latest guest announcement—NHL icon Wayne Gretzky—has triggered a wave of criticism from longtime listeners, many of whom are questioning the podcast's direction. Fans push back as podcast shifts away from NFL-centered content The Kelce brothers have built a strong following by delivering candid football commentary, player stories, and behind-the-scenes insights from the NFL. However, their decision to feature a sports legend from outside of football has stirred up controversy. The backlash began almost immediately after the guest announcement, with fans taking to social media to vent their frustrations. 'This is a football podcast, not a hockey show,' one disappointed fan wrote. Another added, 'I tune in for football insights, not interviews with hockey players.' Another wrote, 'So Trump went after Taylor and your answer is to invite a big trumpie guy who is friend with him ?!? Have some shame.' While Gretzky's legacy as "The Great One" is undeniable in the hockey world, many listeners believe that his appearance strays too far from what originally made 'New Heights' compelling—its deep NFL focus and the chemistry between the Kelce brothers. The Kelce brothers respond to criticism and defend the decision Despite the criticism, both Travis and Jason Kelce have stood by their decision, defending the value of cross-sport dialogue and the broader vision for their podcast. "Wayne Gretzky is a legend, and there's always something to learn from the greats, no matter the sport," Travis Kelce said, underscoring Gretzky's relevance as a universally respected athlete. Jason added, "It's about broadening perspectives and bringing fresh content to our listeners." Their comments reflect a clear intention to evolve the show beyond its NFL roots and embrace voices from other areas of sports and life. As Travis continues preparations for OTAs with the Chiefs and Jason transitions into his post-playing career, the podcast represents an important outlet for both. But the Gretzky episode has highlighted a key challenge: maintaining authenticity and connection with a loyal football audience while trying to grow creatively. Also Read: The Kansas City Chiefs' jersey number no one dares to wear — and the heartbreaking reason why The Kelces may be betting on the long-term benefits of diversity in content, but this moment shows how quickly fan sentiment can shift when expectations are disrupted. Whether the gamble pays off may depend on how well they balance sports legends like Gretzky with the football stories that built their podcast in the first place.

Tiger Woods' Son, Charlie Drops Surprising Statement amid Maiden Win
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Everyone in the golf world recognized the immense pressure Rory McIlroy had been under prior to winning the Masters and completing the grand slam. But an argument can be made that no golfer on Earth is under more pressure than Charlie Woods, the son of 15-time major winner Tiger Woods. It is hard to fathom trying to walk your own path in the golf world when Tiger is your dad. That shadow looms large, and yet, Charlie finally took the first major step toward climbing out from that shadow. On Wednesday, Woods beat a field chock full of amateur stars at the Team TaylorMade Invitational for his first career win on the AJGA circuit (Amateur Junior Golf Association). ORLANDO, FLORIDA - DECEMBER 22: Tiger Woods of the United States and his son Charlie Woods react on the 18th green during the second round of the PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club on December...

He beat the field by three strokes, signing for a 6-under 66 to finish at 15-under overall. Following his victory, the 16-year-old Woods opened up about what the win meant to him personally and professionally. "This golf course [Black Course at Streamsong Resort] is in just perfect condition and it is such a fun event with all of the best junior golfers out here," Woods said. "I didn't look at the leaderboard once today. On the fairway after hitting the green on 18, he's [Woods' caddie] is like, 'you make par here, you're going to be fine.' 🚨🏆☢️ Charlie Woods on his win at the @AJGAGolf TaylorMade Invitational: 'Being able to say to myself that I won an absolutely amazing event and to say I preformed under some high pressure situations is just huge going forward.' — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) May 28, 2025 "I guess that helped me out a little bit," Woods said with a smile. It is a bit surprising to hear he did not want to know where his competitors stood. He did tap in for par on 18, clinching the three-shot win over the likes of Miles Russell, Luke Colton, and other future stars in golf. "Being able to say to myself that I won an absolutely amazing event and to say I preformed under some high pressure situations is just huge going forward. I haven't been able to say that I have done that, and now that I can, it is just a big thing for my mental game going forward." It is refreshing to hear the high schooler acknowledge the mental difficulty, likely relating to the aforementioned pressure. Immediately after news surfaced of Woods' maiden victory, fans online flocked to social media. "Dad's gotta be so proud!" one fan wrote with a fire emoji. Another fan chimed in, "Go get em Charlie! I mean Champ." Interestingly, several fans drew comparisons between the Woods family, LeBron James, and his son Bronny. "Congratulations, Bronny Woods," a golf fan posted on X, formerly Twitter. "This is like Bronny beating Cooper Flagg in March Madness. 🤯," another posted. A comparison between Tiger Woods and LeBron James makes sense. They are each considered if not the greatest, on the Mount Rushmore of greatest players from their sport. But unlike Bronny, who struggled massively during his rookie NBA season and was relegated to the NBA G League, the jury is still out on Charlie Woods. He is currently a sophomore at the Benjamin School in Florida, and is just starting to find his game. The younger Woods had played in four previous AJGA events, with his best finish being a tie for 25th at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley.

What did Beethoven really look like? Scientists think they finally know — and he was a bit of a grouch
Turns out Beethoven didn't just sound intense — he looked it, too. Nearly 200 years after Ludwig van Beethoven's death, scientists say they've finally pieced together what the famously moody maestro actually looked like — and let's just say he wouldn't exactly be mistaken for a people person, originally reported by the Daily Mail. 'I found the face somewhat intimidating,' admitted Cicero Moraes, a Brazilian graphics expert who used 19th-century skull photos, facial modeling, and AI to reconstruct the furrowed countenance of classical music's original bad boy. Advertisement The first-of-its-kind digital render shows the German composer just as he's often been depicted in oil paintings: scowling and brooding. 'He was indeed irritable, untidy, clumsy, rude, and misanthropic,' British conductor Mark Wigglesworth said in a blog post — though he added, 'Beethoven could be witty, caring, mischievous, generous, and kind.' So what turned the artist formerly known as Ludwig into such a legendary grouch? Experts say it may have been as much biology as biography. Advertisement 3 The groundbreaking digital mugshot shows the German maestro just like the paintings did — scowling, brooding, and looking like he just heard a wrong note. Credit: Cicero Moraes/Pen News In 2023, a groundbreaking DNA study published in Current Biology cracked open the medical mystery of Beethoven's tumultuous life — and painful death at age 56. Researchers sequenced his genome using five strands of his preserved hair and determined he likely died from liver failure caused by chronic alcohol consumption, combined with hepatitis B and a genetic predisposition for liver disease. Reportedly, the beloved composer began suffering bouts of jaundice in 1821, a symptom of liver disease, and had progressive hearing loss that left him completely deaf by his mid-40s. Advertisement 3 Was Beethoven born to brood? Scientists say his scowl may've been written in both his past — and his DNA. Getty Images 'Most people who do genetic testing for fun, including myself, will find that there is nothing wrong with them,' lead researcher Tristan Begg said. 'But in this study we had fascinating results in every branch we looked at, from disease risk to the family tree.' Indeed, Beethoven's tangled roots may have been more than musical — the study also suggested a child may have been born from an affair in his family line. Advertisement 3 In 2023, a blockbuster DNA study blew the lid off Beethoven's lifelong medical drama — and his booze-fueled death at 56. Bildagentur-online/Universal Images Group via Getty Images As if that weren't enough, bones believed to be fragments of Beethoven's skull — long stashed in a tin marked 'Beethoven' by the descendant of a Viennese doctor — were recently donated to the Medical University of Vienna by California businessman Paul Kaufmann. 'It is extremely emotional to me to return the fragments where they belong, back to where Beethoven is buried,' Kaufmann told CNN in 2023. Moraes reconstructed Beethoven's famously intense visage — aided by old skull images and tissue-thickness data — and reinforced by a death mask made while the composer still had a pulse. 'I academically explored his genius, revealing what made him an icon of Western music,' Moraes said of his 2025 study. 'I analyzed his revolutionary creativity, resilience in composing despite deafness, intense focus, problem-solving ability, and tireless productivity, despite a challenging personality.'

Federal judges side with Arizona to strike down ‘Liberation Day' tariffs Trump imposed
A ruling by judges at the U.S. Court of International Trade on May 28, 2025, stops President Donald Trump's tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada and nearly all imports into the U.S. Photo via Getty Images New tariffs imposed on nearly all imports into the U.S. since April were struck down Wednesday by three federal judges in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York City. The judges ruled in favor of Arizona and 11 other states in their suit, as well as several businesses who filed a tandem suit, and against Trump, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its leader, Kristi Noem, and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and its leader, Peter Flores over the tariffs. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX The attorneys general argued in State of Oregon et al v. Donald J. Trump et al, filed April 23, that Trump was misusing a 1977 law and falsely claiming an 'unusual and extraordinary threat' to the United States to justify the costly tariffs on nearly all imported goods. Trump's tariffs 'upend constitutional order' and harm state economies, Dem AGs allege The judges said that law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 'does not authorize worldwide and retaliatory tariffs,' and that, 'because of the Constitution's express allocation of the tariff power to Congress, we do not read IEEPA to delegate an unbounded tariff authority to the President.' Lawyers for Trump and the federal agencies insinuated at a May 21 hearing they would appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court if things did not go their way at the international trade court. Trump lawyers argued the Emergency Economic Powers Act, which gives the president broad latitude on financial regulation and foreign policy in the event of a national emergency, would address the threat of fentanyl getting into the country and the U.S.'s trade deficit. The attorneys general argued Congress, not the president, has the sole authority to set tariff policy and that the tariffs Trump imposed had no relationship to the threats he said he wanted to confront. Arizona and the other attorneys general — from Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Vermont — specifically challenged four of Trump's executive orders since April that have added fluctuating tariffs on most imports from China, Mexico and Canada and a 10% retaliatory tariff on most all other goods imported from other countries to the U.S. The order from the international trade court Wednesday stops these new tariffs and more that Trump planned to impose by July 9. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a news release Wednesday that the ruling is a victory for Arizona and its economic well-being. 'I spearheaded this lawsuit because President Trump's tariffs – a tax on Arizona families and businesses – were poised to devastate our state's economy,' she said. 'I will continue to fight for affordability for Arizonans and against President Trump's illegal abuses of power.' SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE
