Rita Ora juices new single with sexy snap in orange bikini and statement necklace
Rita Ora was appealing in orange Saturday as she continued to promote her upcoming single. In a sizzling social media post, the 34-year-old singer was seen in a skimpy orange bikini that highlighted her trim figure. She accessorized her swimwear with stacked gold earrings, a chunky statement necklace, and a delicate belly chain. Wearing her dark blonde hair in an effortless up-do, Rita showed off her sun-kissed glow. Teasing her fans with a playful warning, she wrote: 'Heat coming June 6th!! Get your bikinis out… or else!' Rita's boasted about the upcoming hit, which is just days away from being released. In the single, she said: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.' Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled fourth album, which will be her first album release since You & I from 2023. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from Tension - Padam Padam - was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. Lostboy told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'We wrote Padam in February 2022 and there were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, "Kylie would kill this." ' He added: 'They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label. 'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.' It comes after she kicked off her support gig on the tour in April at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. Rita gushed after her gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. 'It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.' Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK. But she has only now begun to make a name for herself in the U.S. following the success of Padam Padam. In the past Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on Stateside didn't faze her and she enjoyed her anonymity there. However, her record label revealed in 2023 that the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the American market.

Davion Mitchell proved to be an ‘amazing fit,' but did he price himself out of a Heat return?
The defensive-oriented Miami Heat and defensive-minded guard Davion Mitchell agree that they are the perfect fit for each other. 'It's an amazing fit,' said Mitchell, who started this season with the Toronto Raptors before being traded to the Heat on Feb. 6 as part of the Jimmy Butler deal. 'Everything they do, everything they're about, it's like I really didn't have to do anything. I feel like I'm just here. I feel like I can be free.' Now, the Heat and Mitchell will find out if they can agree on a new contract in free agency this offseason to continue their time together. The Heat is expected to extend an $8.7 million qualifying offer to Mitchell before the June 29 deadline to make him a restricted free agent, allowing Miami to match outside offers in free agency to retain Mitchell. If the Heat doesn't extend that qualifying offer, Mitchell would become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and Miami would lose the power to always have an opportunity match outside offers. Mitchell can return to the Heat on the one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer that Miami is expected to extend to him in the coming weeks. But the more likely scenario after Mitchell's strong finish to this season with the Heat is for him to sign an offer sheet with another team when free agency begins on July 1, putting pressure on Miami to make a decision on how far it's willing to go to keep him. The Heat would then have a few days to decide whether it will match that offer to re-sign Mitchell. Mitchell could also simply negotiate a new contract with the Heat for any length and any amount in free agency this summer. Miami holds Mitchell's Bird rights, which allow the Heat to exceed the salary cap to re-sign him up to his maximum salary despite already being over the cap. 'I mean, I haven't really thought about it or talked about it with my representation,' Mitchell said on exit interview day in late April when asked about his impending free agency. 'I think that there's a long summer that we're going to have a lot of time to talk about it. And when we do, I'll be prepared for that. But as of right now, I don't really know because I've never been in this situation before. So I'm just waiting to talk to my agency.' Mitchell, who turns 27 on Sept. 5, is expected to get the biggest contract of his NBA career after standing out following the February trade to Miami. With Mitchell making $6.5 million this past season in the final year of his rookie-scale contract after getting drafted with the ninth overall pick in 2021, he could draw offers around the $14 million full midlevel exception range this summer. After arriving to the Heat on Feb. 6, Mitchell averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 50.4% from the field and 44.7% on 3.1 three-point attempts per game in 30 regular-season appearances (15 starts) for arguably the best sustained stretch of his NBA career. Mitchell averaged just 6.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 43.4% from the field and 35.9% on threes in 44 appearances for the Raptors prior to being traded to the Heat this season. Mitchell carried that late-season momentum into the postseason, totaling nine points on 3-of-4 shooting from three-point range in overtime of the Heat's playoff-clinching win over the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in tournament on April 18. 'Coach Spo told me the first day, 'Just be yourself. I want you to be yourself. Go out there defensively and offensively and play your game. You know how to play the game. Get your teammates involved,'' Mitchell said of why he thrived with the Heat. 'Things that I've been doing since I've been playing basketball and I had the opportunity to do it here. The past places I've been to, I didn't really have the opportunity. I was playing with a lot of good players, so I understood it. 'But being here, I kind of just fit right in. They needed somebody who can be a defensive presence, who can get their teammates open, make my teammates life just a lot easier and I think that's what I did.' Mitchell's efficient outside shooting with the Heat proved to be a revelation, as he entered this past season as a 32.7 percent three-point shooter over his first three NBA seasons. That reputation led to opponents consistently leaving Mitchell open from three-point range, but he took advantage by shooting 37 of 76 (48.7%) on wide open threes (defined by the NBA as when the closest defender is more than six feet away) with the Heat this past regular season. 'I think basketball comes with a rhythm. I think playing for Miami, I had a lot of rhythm,' Mitchell said of that spike in three-point shooting efficiency with the Heat. 'I had the ball in my hands, not just shooting the ball but to be able to make plays, to be able to turn people over and get defensive stops. That comes with a rhythm. People don't understand that, people that don't really know the game don't really understand it's a rhythm thing.' But Mitchell's calling card is still his on-ball defense. Known as 'off night' for his ability to shut down opposing teams' top scorers, Mitchell's point-of-attack defense immediately helped the Heat. The Heat allowed 3.4 fewer points per 100 possessions with Mitchell on the court compared to when he wasn't playing after the February trade. 'It's not hard,' Mitchell said of fitting into Heat coach Erik Spoelstra's defensive scheme. 'It's very simple, just play hard. There's no really tricks or anything. He just wants you to play extremely hard. Honestly, that's how I got in this league, that's who I am. I'm always going to play hard no matter what the circumstances are. So it's pretty easy for me.' Now, the question is did Mitchell play so well that he priced himself out of a Heat return? With the Heat only about $4 million from the luxury-tax threshold with 13 players under contract for next season, not too far away from the punitive first-apron threshold and also seemingly hesitant to offer lucrative multi-year contracts that would eat into any potential 2026 cap space, the Heat will have to consider the consequences of re-signing Mitchell. 'Just the culture here, I think I fit completely in,' Mitchell said of his initial Heat experience. 'Since the first day I got here, it was pretty easy to fit in. Everyone is friendly, everyone is cool, everyone loves what I do, everyone loves what I bring to the table.' The Heat's love for Mitchell will be tested in free agency this summer.
