Who can forget that arguably iconic 2002 scene of MTV’s Cribs in which Mariah Carey welcomes cameras into her home and shows off her enormous bathtub while bathing? Sure, it’s been well over a decade since that Mariah gleamed, but not too much has changed since.

On Monday, the 46-year-old R&B diva once more took to Instagram, as she regularly does, to show us just how glamorous her life truly is. In one of her most epic shots to date, the beauty offers a scintillating glimpse at her toned legs as she steps off of what could be a private jet and lands in another one of her dreamy locales.

“Friggin world traveler,” she captioned the image, in which she sports a sexy hardware-adorned black miniskirt with a black top, fishnets, and peep-toe booties. She carries a black leather jacket in one hand and makes it all look like a stunning photo shoot.

Just last week, Carey, who’s preparing to let us learn more about her with a new show, Mariah’s World, on E!, hit the shores of Italy and spent a luxurious afternoon aboard a yacht.

Looks like Carey is a pro at enjoying la dolce vita.

The viral Ice Bucket Challenge, which swept the internet two years ago while raising money and awareness for the ALS Association, has helped fund what the association is calling a “significant gene discovery.”

The “challenge,” in which people dumped cold buckets of water onto their heads and posted the results to Facebook, attracted participants ranging from LeBron James to Bill Gates. The effort collected more than $115 million for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, during an eight-week period in 2014, of which $77 million was devoted to research.

Using that funding, researchers with Project MinE’s global gene sequencing effort have identified a new ALS gene, NEK1, that is connected to the disease. The discovery will give researchers a potential target as they seek to develop a therapy for the disease, the ALS Association said in a press release Monday. The study that helped fund the gene discovery was the largest-ever study of inherited ALS.

Though most cases of ALS aren’t a result of family history of the disease, the association says “it’s very likely that genetics contribute, directly or indirectly, to a much larger percentage of ALS cases.”

Funding for the project was announced in October of 2014, as the brainchild of Bernard Muller, an entrepreneur who is living with ALS.

“The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge enabled us to secure funding from new sources in new parts of the world,” Muller said in the ALS Association press release.

Now, the ALS Association hopes to raise awareness and money for the disease again with a new campaign dubbed “Every Drop Adds Up.”

A reunion of the stylish girls of The City was bound to happen at New York Fashion Week, eventually. Many of the reality show’s stars have made their foray into the fashion world, with Olivia Palermo making an appearance at almost every major fashion week show so far. Tuesday night, she attended Lan Yu’s debut NYFW show, and ran into her former cast member—and frenemy—Whitney Port.

The gorgeous ladies posed together for the camera, making The City fans everywhere go nuts. Palermo wore a flowy white top with pleated bell sleeves and a pair of loose black cropped pants, both from Lan Yu, and patent leather platform sneakers.

Port also went colorless, opting for a cold-shoulder style black leather dress from Rebecca Vallance paired with lace-up heels. She wore her blonde hair in a tight topknot and accessorized with an elaborate choker.

We definitely haven’t seen the last of these two as NYFW continues, and who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky enough to witness another reunion soon!

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron was spotted in Los Angeles Monday wearing an uncharacteristically pared-down outfit. The 41-year-old fashion maven traded in her red carpet-ready looks for a comfortable gray scoop-neck dress, denim jacket with a popped collar, and a pair of white flip-flops.

The mother-of-two hid her bare face under a pair of oversize sunglasses, and wore her short blonde hair loose underneath a “California Love” trucker hat. Theron accessorized the minimal look with a black woven purse.

Although Theron’s laid-back look is undeniably low-maintenance, the Mad Max actress dressed it up with what appears to be a fresh cherry-red manicure and a pale pink pedicure.

The South African activist is currently celebrating the success of her latest film, animated release Kubo and the Two Strings, to which she lent her voice talent. She’s also been enjoying time with her “boys,” taking to Instagram to share a snap of her adorable dogs.

We thought Marion Cotillard would take a break after her global Allied promotional tour, but the star is showing no signs of slowing down! She jetted to the Land Down Under and on Monday in Sydney, began publicizing her latest movie—a film adaptation of one of the world’s most popular video games, Assassin’s Creed.

Naturally, the pregnant actress did not hold back one bit in the style department. She slipped on a statement-making gown from label Audra—an up-and-coming brand that Kim Kardashian West has taken a liking to as well.

Her artful stunner featured colorful embroidery against a sheer backdrop, with long sleeves and a billowing skirt. White horn shades completed her ensemble, as Cotillard kept her accessories minimal to let her statement-making dress play centerstage.

The Academy Award-winning actress was joined in Australia by co-star Michael Fassbender, who let Cotillard shine for the photocall in a simple sweater, denim, and suede boots. Assassin’s Creed hits theaters on Dec. 21, so we know there will be many more style wins we can look forward to from the French beauty.

We all have that one relative known for sipping one too many glasses of wine and subsequently saying the wrong thing at family reunions, but Apple and Moses Martin likely cannot relate.

On Sunday, actress and lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow took to Instagram to remind us that, yes, her 12- and 10-year-old daughter and son with Chris Martin quite possibly do have the world’s coolest “uncle,” rapper Jay Z.

The hip-hop music mogul turned 47 on Sunday and Paltrow made sure not to forget his milestone. “Happy birthday #UncleJay” she wrote alongside a cute snapshot of Mr. Beyoncé Knowles himself with young Apple and Moses.

In the photograph, possibly a throwback, considering Jay Z celebrated his birthday with a bash on Saturday, Jay appears to know exactly how to entertain children. After all, he is Dad to 4-year-old Blue Ivy.

And while the Martin children and the “Empire State of Mind” hitmaker aren’t technically related, they do go way back. Paltrow, Beyoncé, and Jay Z have shared a close relationship for years. In fact, Blue Ivy has attended Apple’s birthday party, and the two even walked hand in hand at Super Bowl 50, where they watched their superstar parents take the stage.

As for what they may have gotten Uncle Jay for his birthday, we imagine Gwyneth’s stellar gift-giving taste came in handy.

As we expected, the 2017 Super Bowl halftime performance is going to be one for the books. Would you expect anything less from Lady Gaga?

The Joanne singer shared a teaser video on Twitter that took us behind-the-scenes into the making of the show. This is an absolute dream come true for Gaga, as she reveals in the clip, “I’ve been planning this since I was 4, so I know exactly what I’m going to do. For me, it’s all about giving to the fans and bringing people together that wouldn’t normally come together. The thing is, it’s such a big world stage in terms of how many people see it and it’s been done so many times.”

 

 

The Big Apple-born musician definitely has huge shoes to fill as artists like Prince, Beyoncé, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen have all performed at past halftime shows. But we have no doubts that Gaga will make her own footprint in the performance’s history books. She isn’t worried either.

“I think the challenge is to look at it and say, ‘What can I do differently?,” the musician divulged. “How can I elevate certain little things here and there, and also make it about the music?’ This is where I’m supposed to be.”

We know her performance will be 12 minutes, but we have no idea what songs she will include. And she’s definitely been working hard, training every single day.

Gaga also provided a sneak peek into a rehearsal with her dancers in an Instagram post earlier this week.

“Super Bowl rehearsal is so fun,” read the Boomerang’s video’s caption. “We built a tent in my backyard with a dance floor to practice! We love you monsters, can’t wait to perform for u!” We’ve never wanted to be somewhere else so badly.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — NFCA members have once again banded together in the fight against cancer, raising $380,633 in support of the Association and American Cancer Society’s annual StrikeOut Cancer initiative.

The University of Michigan was the top fundraiser overall, collecting $130,416.12. The Wolverines’ efforts coincide with their annual Michigan Softball Academy. Growing significantly each year in the fight against cancer, the Softball Academy is a combination of an adults-only softball clinic at the University’s Wilpon Complex and a silent auction at the Junge Family Champions Center. 

Since partnering with the American Cancer Society and its Making Strides Against Breast Cancer effort in 2007, head coach Carol Hutchins and her Wolverines have raised over $1 million to support breast cancer research and outreach, becoming the first women’s collegiate team to reach that mark.

Following Michigan is LSU, which raised $87,198.32 in its Geaux Teal campaign and annual “Strikeout Ovarian Cancer” game. Also reaching the five-figure fundraising mark were Travel Ball organization Virginia Glory ($50,000) as well as Division III programs Virginia Wesleyan ($27,281) and William Peace ($27,000). 

Glory founder and president Suzy Willemssen hosted the annual Glory Strikeout Cancer Invitational, which topped all travel ball and youth fundraisers for the second straight year. All net proceeds from the event go to Children’s National and will directly help children in their fight to survive cancer.

The Marlins’ annual fundraiser, spearheaded by head coach Brandon Elliott, was held in conjunction with the school’s Spring Alumni Weekend. In 2019, head coach Charlie Dobbins and his William Peace softball squad teamed up with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Vs. Cancer program to raise awareness and funds for local children with cancer.

Martin Luther  / Truman / Granada Huntley East Chain School District (GHEC) Jaguars ($6,321), NAIA’s Bethel University (Ind.) ($2,795 / pictured top) and Division II’s Colorado School of Mines ($2,675 / pictured left) led their respective membership categories.

Numerous other schools either raised money or awareness by hosting a single event or by coordinating a season-long campaign to battle cancer. The schools that registered with the NFCA were entitled to a special package of StrikeOut Cancer items, which included NFCA StrikeOut Cancer eye black, tattoos, wristbands and more.

In 2019, the NFCA’s New Jersey High School Leadoff Classic was found in honor of the late Immaculate Heart Academy head coach and 2019 NFCA Hall of Fame inductee Anthony LaRezza. The proceeds of the tournament went to cancer-stricken children through Tackle Kids Cancer.

The winners receive Louisville Slugger bats with the color tailored to their specific cancer fundraiser. The bats were generously donated by Slugger’s parent company Wilson Sporting Goods, Inc.

(PERTH, Australia) — Australia’s national carrier Qantas on Friday successfully completed a 19-and-a-half hour non-stop flight from London to Sydney, which was used to run a series of tests to assess the effects of ultra long-haul flights on crew fatigue and passenger jetlag.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner took off from London’s Heathrow Airport on Thursday morning and touched down at Sydney Airport 45 minutes behind schedule at 12:30pm on Friday.

The 17,800 mile (11,060 mile) journey was part of Project Sunrise — Qantas’ goal to operate regular, non-stop commercial flights from Australia’s east coast cities of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to London and New York.

Last month, Qantas completed the first non-stop flight from New York to Sydney, which took 19 hours and 16 minutes.

Another New York to Sydney flight is expected next month to round out the project.

There were 52 people — mostly Qantas employees — on board. They participated in various experiments, including using wearable technology devices to track sleep patterns, food and drink intake, lighting and physical movement.

A final decision on whether the ultra-long haul flights will become a commercial reality is expected by the year’s end, with the service potentially launching by 2022.

It was the second time a commercial airline has flown the route. The first was in 1989, with a journey time of 20 hours and 9 minutes.

Ahead of the flight, Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the airline wants to improve comfort on long-haul flights.

“We know that travelers want room to move on these direct flights, and the exercises we encouraged on the first research flight seemed to work really well,” he said.

“So, we’re definitely looking to incorporate on-board stretching zones and even some simple modifications like overhead handles to encourage low impact exercises,” he added.

Joyce and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison welcomed the arrival of crew and passengers as the airline celebrates its centenary year.
