‘Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' season 4 celebrity cast revealed
Fox's intense reality series Special Forces: World's Toughest Test returns this fall with a new group of celebrities ready to take on military-style challenges in its fourth season. The show, which mimics the grueling physical and mental training of the real-life Special Forces selection process, will premiere Thursday, Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. The 18-person cast includes some headline-making names, most notably actor Jussie Smollett. Known for his role on Empire, Smollett has kept a low profile since a 2019 incident in which he alleged he was the victim of a hate crime—an allegation authorities later disputed. After a lengthy legal battle, he recently settled with the city of Chicago. Joining Smollett is Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, along with her daughter, Gia Giudice, who also appears on the Bravo series and is an influencer and podcaster. America's Next Top Model winner and Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Eva Marcille will also compete. Other cast members include Sister Wives patriarch Kody Brown; Vanderpump Rules personality Brittany Cartwright; NFL veterans Randall Cobb, Eric Decker, and Andrew East; and gymnast and Dancing With the Stars winner Shawn Johnson East. Also appearing are model Chanel Iman, TikTok creator Mark Estes, Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, and former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel. The lineup rounds out with actor Ravi V. Patel, Olympic soccer player Christie Pearce Rampone, and former NBA player Nick Young. Previous seasons have been physically punishing and emotionally raw—season 3 included Denise Richards sustaining a serious injury during a stunt. Season 4 promises the same level of intensity, as revealed in exclusive promotional images showing cast members bloodied and exhausted mid-challenge.

Tyra Banks reveals 'disgusting and erotic" addiction to pimple popping and toe cleaning
Tyra Banks surprised viewers with a personal confession during her appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends. The supermodel revealed her peculiar habit, saying, 'I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don't mind digging it out.' She added, 'I have a kit. You have to have a kit. Some alcohol, you know. Some stuff!' Banks described the behaviour as both 'disgusting and erotic at the same time,' explaining, 'It touches those parts of me.' When asked who she performs these rituals on, the America's Next Top Model host didn't hesitate. 'Anyone that wants it — my mom, my friends, my man, my son,' she said, referencing her partner Louis Bélanger-Martin. Despite her fascination, Banks admitted she has boundaries. 'Nether regions. I'm not picking up in those. Chest up and knees down? It's on.' She went further, vividly describing the details: 'The toenail, because there's been stuff in there. The jam. The toe jam is up in the nail, and then you pick, and sometimes it's different colours. Sometimes it's brown, sometimes it's green.' Banks and Bélanger-Martin have been together since 2018 and reportedly moved in together in 2019.

Tyra Banks reveals 'disgusting and erotic' obsession
Tyra Banks loves to pop other people's pimples. The America's Next Top Model host - who is in a relationship with Louis Bélanger-Martin and has nine-year-old son York with former partner Erik Asla - admitted she also enjoys "picking" dirt from behind toenails and is happy to help most people with such issues, though she won't get too intimate with her extraction duties. Speaking during her guest co-hosting stint on Today with Jenna and Friends, Tyra admitted to Jenna Bush Hager: "I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don't mind digging it out. "But I have a kit. You have to have a kit. Some alcohol, you know. Some stuff!" Jenna asked: "Who are you doing that to? Tyra replied: "Anyone that wants it — my mom, my friends, my man, my son. "And then, a pimple? If you had a pimple, I would be staring at you. I want it so bad — like, I just love it." The 51-year-old model confessed her habit is an "addiction" and noted it is "disgusting and erotic at the same time" because "it touches those parts" of her. She added: "You know what I'm talking about, people!" Jenna then asked Tyra to clarify if there's anywhere she deems off limits. She said: "Nether regions. I'm not picking up in those. If somebody's like, 'Oh, can you check this?' I'm like, 'No, that's where I draw the line.' Chest up and knees down? It's on. I'm not popping and picking nothing [outside of] there... "God, I wish you had a pimple." The SMiZE and DREAM founder went into further detail about her habit and insisted she doesn't even mind when the feet "stink". To audible groans from the crew, she said: "Sometimes they stink. The toenail, because there's been stuff in there. The jam. The toe jam is up in the nail, and then you pick, and sometimes it's different colorus. Sometimes it's brown, sometimes it's green. "Come on, you guys know this!" Earlier in the week, Tyra revealed another of her gross habits - eating crumbs she finds in her bed. She said on the show: 'I love to get in the bed with my mom and watch TV. We do ice cream in bed, popcorn in bed. 'But the great thing is that a couple days later… I clean crumbs by eating them, because if you put it in the trash, I'm like, 'You might get roaches or something.' So just clean it up with your finger and eat it.' She admitted she does the same if she finds food debris on the floor, though she does have some limits. She explained: 'A few days if it's not super perishable Like popcorn? C'mon. That's like astronaut food, it lasts forever. You just pick it up. I'm not joking.'

Tyra Banks says Victoria's Secret revoked her access to free lingerie in stores after she didn't renew Angel contract''
Banks said a store employee had to halt her purchase because her free lingerie card expired while she was trying to shop: "I hate saying this on national TV."Key Points Tyra Banks said that Victoria's Secret revoked her access to free lingerie. The supermodel revealed that she attempted to use her "Angels card" in a store, but an employee halted the sale. "I hate saying this on national TV," Banks said on Today With Jenna & Victoria's Secret Angel Tyra Banks' access to free lingerie has departed for the heavens. The supermodel and America's Next Top Model icon said Tuesday during her week-long guest-cohosting gig on NBC's Today With Jenna & Friends that, despite being one of the most famous Victoria's Secret Angels of all time, the brand once revoked a card that gave her unlimited free lingerie in its retail locations. After joking with main anchor Jenna Bush Hager that she's no longer a lingerie model, despite recently coming out of modeling retirement, Hager asked if Banks is still a lingerie shopper. "Jenna, I had a free Angels card that the head of Victoria's Secret gave me. They were like, 'Forever, we love you so much, you have this card and you can go to any shop forever and shop forever with no cap on it,'" Banks recalled. "So, I would get lingerie for myself, matching tops and bottoms, a collection that came out? I got it!" Then, a few years later, "they put a contract on the table and said, 'Let's sign three more years,'" Banks continued. "I was like, 'I don't want to, I want to be a talk show host, I'm not gonna do it.' They let me have that Angel card for a year later, and then they said, give it back, baby!" A stunned Hager asked, "Did you actually go to Victoria's Secret and they were like, 'I'm sorry, this card is no longer accepted here.'" Banks nervously laughed as she admitted, "Yes," before adding, "I hate saying this on national TV" while laughing. "Did you have a whole pile of stuff?" Hager inquired. Banks replied, "Yes, Jenna. Yes! It was like in the suburbs, a store in Los Angeles off the freeway, I can't remember the name of the mall. Oh my gosh!" Entertainment Weekly has reached out to Victoria's Secret for comment. After walking in several Victoria's Secret shows throughout the height of her modeling career in the '90s and early aughts, Banks retired from modeling to focus on her business endeavors, including her TV empire (which included winning two Daytime Emmys for The Tyra Banks Show talk show), penning her Modelland novel, launching her SMiZE & DREAM ice cream franchise, and establishing a former cosmetics brand. She eventually rejoined the Victoria's Secret family and partnered with them in August 2024 to announce the revival of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after the brand discontinued the iconic fashion show in 2019, following criticism that also resulted in the cancellation of the Victoria's Secret Angel division. The landmark brand eventually unveiled in 2021 a new, diverse group of seven stars (including Megan Rapinoe and Priyanka Chopra Jonas) it deemed to be the new "VS Collective," which aimed to represent the brand and consumers through a wider range of people with larger body types, trans women, and more. At the time, Banks praised the decision on social media, stating that she was "proud" to be "witnessing a beauty revolution" unfold before her. "First is crucial so that a door can be opened for others to fit through. Within a 10-year span starting in 1995, I was the first Black Victoria's Secret contract model ever. The first Black Victoria's Secret cover model. The first Black VS model to do so many other groundbreaking things with the brand," she wrote on Instagram, shortly after the New York Times released a story on the Victoria's Secret reinvention. "But after a first, must come a flow of more. A flow of different. A flow of unique. A flow so strong, a flow of so many that we LOSE COUNT."

Heidi Klum admits to being a 'control freak'
Heidi Klum is a "workaholic". The 52-year-old model has hosted all 20 seasons of Germany's Next Top Model since its premiere in 2006, while she's also served as a judge on America's Got Talent, and Heidi admits that she feels compelled to take a hands-on approach to her work. She told People: "I'm a workaholic, control freak. "I've been so focused with the shows that I have been doing and making sure that everything that comes out of them looks good. I love what I do." Heidi's passion for fashion and design remains undiminished. She said: "My fashion heart still goes [crazy] when I see something fabulous, when I see an amazing dress, when someone does something new, I'm like, 'How did you come up with that?' I'm still amazed at people and their talent." Heidi is also looking forward to getting older, insisting that she intends to embrace her grey hairs. She said: "Don't we all want to get old? I know we always say that, but it's the truth. I'm already looking at 60 and 70, hopefully 80 and 90. And if we're still kicking it then, let's celebrate." Earlier this year, Heidi observed that everyone should wear "what the heck they want to wear". The model believes people should be open-minded and ambitious when it comes to their sense of style. Heidi told People: "I feel like everyone should wear what the heck they want to wear. I feel like that's what makes us all individually special, so I feel like rules are just not the way to go. "But other than that, I feel like in fashion, anything is possible right now. "[There are] just no long trains anymore, unfortunately. I'm still wearing one. I don't care now. I'm going everywhere with a train." Heidi recently returned to host the hit TV show Project Runway, and she has relished the experience. The catwalk star - who originally appeared on Project Runway between 2004 and 2017 - said: "It's felt like coming home, really like coming home."
