At 72 years old, rock icon Pat Benatar is still dazzling audiences-both with her looks and her vocals. The singer stunned attendees at the 50th Annual Chapin Awards Gala on June 4, 2025, in New York City, showcasing her ageless appearance and timeless style in glittering sequin pants as she took the stage. The event, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall, celebrated WhyHunger's 50th anniversary of combating food insecurity and honored Benatar and her husband, Neil Giraldo, with the ASCAP Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award for their enduring commitment to social justice through music. Benatar and Giraldo, married since 1982, have been active supporters of WhyHunger for over three decades, inspired by their friendship with co-founder Harry Chapin. Their advocacy focuses on children's causes and addressing systemic hunger issues. During the gala, the couple delivered a heartfelt acoustic set, including their 1983 hit "Love Is a Battlefield," captivating the audience with their enduring chemistry and musical prowess. The gala raised over $600,000 to support WhyHunger's mission of ending hunger by addressing its root causes, such as poverty and social injustice. The evening also featured performances by members of The Fab Faux, Willie Nile, Will Calhoun, Tash Neal, Jen Chapin, and The Chapin Sisters, culminating in a collaborative rendition of Harry Chapin's "Circles." Reflecting on the event, Benatar and Giraldo expressed their gratitude: "What an incredible night! We were honored and humbled to receive the ASCAP Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award and celebrate the 50th anniversary of WhyHunger at the Chapin Awards Gala." "The evening was filled with love, hope, and good humans dedicated to the service of others. We're in this together, and together we can make miracles happen," they added, per Live for Live Music.

How ‘12-3-30' treadmill workout can help lose weight and is still big on YouTube, TikTok
You may have noticed people talking about the viral '12-3-30' workout on social media, or seen the workouts for yourself at the gym – just look for the people walking at a very high incline on the treadmills. Advertisement The workout, created by social media influencer Lauren Giraldo, has received a lot of attention for its simplicity and results. It involves walking for 30 minutes on a treadmill at a 3mph (4.8km/h) pace at a 12 per cent incline. 'I'm not a runner, and running on the treadmill was not working for me,' Giraldo told Today magazine. 'I started playing around with the settings, and at the time, my gym's treadmill had 12 incline as the max. The three miles per hour felt right, like walking, and my grandma had always told me that 30 minutes of exercise a day was all you needed. That's how the combination started.' Giraldo first shared the workout on YouTube in 2019, but it continues to grow in popularity on TikTok. The video has amassed more than 1.6 million views on YouTube and more than 13 million views on TikTok.
