Miguel Tanfelix and Caitlyn Stave have joined the "Be Around Me" trend, subtly showcasing their acting skills through their entry.

Power Rangers Kimberley star - from Netflix snub to comics return
Amy Jo Johnson shot to fame as the original pink ranger in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1993, but she has since gone on to a very different life Those who spent their childhood in the '90s will undoubtedly recall the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with their vibrant costumes and thrilling showdowns against the likes of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. Amy Jo Johnson, who debuted as the original Pink Ranger Kimberly Hart in 1993, graced the screen in 138 episodes and three movies until her exit in 1995. Reflecting on her first encounter with the iconic pink spandex to Entertainment Tonight last year, she said: "I think at the time it was like, 'Oh my God! I'm gonna be wearing pink spandex on national television. What have I gotten myself into?'," Bleeding Cool reported. Her character eventually left the show after passing on her powers to the new pink ranger, Katherine Hillard, though Amy did make a few special returns. Nowadays, Amy's life might not involve morphin' battles, but it's certainly full of action. She's made her mark on TV series such as ER, Felicity, and Flashpoint, and has ventured into directing with short films like Bent in 2013 and Lines in 2014. Her directorial debut for a feature film came with The Space Between in 2016, followed by the dark comedy Tammy's Always Dying in 2019. On top of her acting and directing pursuits, she's also a singer-songwriter, having released an EP titled Still Here just last year. In a nostalgic nod to the past, Netflix dropped a special Power Rangers reunion episode in 2023, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always, bringing back fan-favourite characters from the franchise's three-decade legacy. However, Amy was noticeably absent from the line-up, reports the Mirror US. Despite rumours suggesting she declined the offer due to financial disagreements, she insisted this wasn't true. On X, formerly Twitter, she said: "Please stop saying I didn't do reunion because of money Simply not true. Maybe I just didn't want to wear spandex in my couldn't go to NZ for a month. Or none of ur beeswax." She also mentioned that both she and the late Jason David Frank, known for his role as the White Ranger, who died in November 2022, chose not to participate "for our own reasons". Earlier in the year, she had already tackled similar speculation, stating: "For the record I never said no... I just didn't say yes to what was offered. But other fun stuff is in-store!". Despite stepping away from the on-screen action, Amy did make a comeback to the Power Rangers universe later in the year, albeit through a different medium. She penned a four-part comic book series called Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return, which she described as a "heartfelt love letter" to the dedicated fanbase. She continues to engage with enthusiasts at conventions, sharing experiences from her days donning the iconic pink suit. Reflecting on her impact as a childhood hero to many, she expressed a newfound appreciation, saying: "I didn't understand what Kimberly represented until more recently." She added: "Kimberly wasn't Amy Jo, but it's really cool to have played a character that inspired so many girls in that way. It's probably one of the biggest blessings in my life."

Social Security Announces Change to Online Access
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. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced that those with accounts on my Social Security, the federal agency's online portal, will gain the ability to view their social security number online with secure digital access. Newsweek contacted the SSA for comment on Saturday via email. Why It Matters According to the SSA in 2023 some 71.6 million Americans received support from programs it was administering, meaning improved access to social security numbers could benefit many people. What To Know In a press release published on Friday the SSA said my Social Security account holders will be able to view their social security numbers via the portal starting "early this summer." This will allow those whose social security cards have been lost or stolen to easily view their social security number online, without needing to wait for an in-person appointment or for a new card to be dispatched via the mail. The SSA said: "This digital feature not only streamlines the process for those who need their SSN [social security number] but also reinforces our dedication to protecting sensitive information. By providing a secure digital option, SSA aims to reduce the risk of lost or stolen cards and enhance the overall user experience." The new feature will also be available to my Social Security account holders via mobile devices. A Social Security card is seen alongside checks from the U.S. Treasury in Washington, D.C., on October 14, 2021. A Social Security card is seen alongside checks from the U.S. Treasury in Washington, D.C., on October 14, 2021. Kevin Dietsch/GETTY Account holders are urged by the agency to "take advantage of this new feature," which they insist will improve "service delivery while safeguarding personal identifiable information." Earlier this month the Trump administration announced it will resume collecting payments for defaulted student loans, which were paused in March 2020 at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. This will impact SSA payments as up to 15 percent of these can be taken by the federal government to repay student loans via the Treasury Offset Program. The Trump administration has also announced it is reinstating National Social Security Month in April. This was a campaign launched by the first Trump administration in April 2019 but subsequently discontinued during the coronavirus pandemic. A group of Senate Democrats have written to Social Security Inspector General Michelle L. Anderson urging her to investigate the impact of SSA cuts announced since Trump returned to office. What People Are Saying Acting SSA commissioner Lee Dudek said: "We are proud to offer this new digital solution to our account holders. "This enhancement reflects our commitment to providing better service to the public while ensuring that their personal information remains secure. We believe that this modern approach will meet the needs of our constituents in a more efficient manner." What Happens Next If all goes to plan secure digital access for social security numbers should be introduced early this summer.

Social Security Administration probes origin of website portal outage
WASHINGTON — The Social Security Administration said Tuesday that it is investigating the root cause of website outages that have affected the 'my Social Security' portal where recipients access their benefits. Notably, individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income, including disabled seniors and low-income adults and children, have reported receiving a notice that said they were 'not receiving benefits.' The agency said that notice was a mistake. Roughly 7.4 million seniors, adults and children receive SSI benefits, according to an internal 2023 report. It is unclear how many people received the mistaken message on their portal. In a statement, the agency acknowledged 'a couple of recent incidents' that affected Social Security and said they are under investigation. The agency said that during the brief disruptions, which averaged about 20 minutes each, the Social Security Administration's website remained operational, though some people may have had an issue signing in to their 'my Social Security' account. The website has crashed several times over the past few weeks. They come as the Social Security Administration, under the leadership of acting Commissioner Leland Dudek, conducts a major overhaul of operations in an effort to clamp down on alleged fraud, which President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency claim is widespread. The changes include mass employee layoffs and staff reductions, new limits on recipients' phone line access and the closure of offices around the country. They have sparked furor among lawmakers, advocacy groups and program recipients, who say the Trump administration is placing unnecessary barriers in front of an already vulnerable population. Most recently, the agency partially backtracked on a plan that would require all new and existing beneficiaries to travel to a Social Security field office to verify their identity. The Social Security Administration said in March that people applying for Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, or Supplemental Security Income who are not able to use agency's online portal can complete their claim over the phone instead of in person. Other SSA applicants will still be required to verify their identities at a field office. The changes begin April 14. Additionally, a lawsuit challenging DOGE access is ongoing in federal court. On March 20, Maryland federal judge Ellen Lipton Hollander issued an order blocking DOGE access from Social Security's troves of data and said the DOGE team 'is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion.'
