Martha Stewart Is The Latest "SI Swimsuit" Model, And TBH We’re Totally Here For It

You read that right. The media mogul/millennial matriarch/chef/author/BFF-to-Snoop-Dogg made history as the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuitmodel, joining the likes of Emily DiDonato, Kim Kardashian, Ciara, and more.

Martha Stewart, 81, joins fellow cover models Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader for the publication’s 2023 swimwear edition. The annual SI Swimsuit edition is a notoriously difficult publication to secure a placement in, as a photo in the annual edition is a near-guarantee for success, cementing your legitimacy in the modeling industry.

Though Stewart is not widely-known for her modeling career, she’s a pop culture phenomenon, still working as a chef and a TV personality and partnering with rapper Snoop Dogg in a variety of projects. Stewart rose to fame in the 1980s wither her cookbooks, eventually creating her own media company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia — which is still in operation today and encompasses her magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Roku TV shows, podcast, and more.

Deemed “the ‘OG of influencers,'" people (us included!) still look to Stewart for home advice and all the deets on must-have recipes, DIY projects and hosting tips. After all, this woman basically raised an entire generation of now-adults through her TV shows, Martha Stewart Living and The Martha Stewart Show.

We don’t know about you, but we remember Stewart on our TV screens every weekend as kids, and think it’s fabulous that she’s still crushing it in her eighties.

Swimwear style is making waves recently, pushing the limits beyond a traditional one piece or bikini set. Today, boyshort-style bottoms or even bikini tops with sleeves are becoming more common! As we all know, fashion trends tend to come back around every few years, and I would like to draw your attention to our old friend, the tankini.

Blue Rod Beattie

Trina Turk

I've been working from home since long before it became the norm. And my "office" has evolved from a spindled-back chair at the kitchen table to an airy home office with a view. Back then, my productivity took a hit without essentials like adequate storage space, comfortable seating, and a bit of privacy. While it has its perks, working from home comes with its fair share of challenges; your home office setup doesn't need to be one of them.

Here are 10 ways to redesign your home office for better productivity!

Caio

1. Bad Lighting

Dim or harsh overhead lighting can strain your eyes and limit your focus. Try to get close to a window for natural light or use daylight bulbs to mimic sunlight to boost your mood, creativity, and focus. Find a desk lamp that works for you too!

Ella Jardim

2. Clutter Everywhere

A cluttered desk equals a cluttered mind, IMO. Reduce the stress that comes with a disorganized and cluttered desk by bringing in shelves and organizers; finding sleek cable-management solutions; and removing any unnecessary items to reduce visual distractions.

Vlada Karpovich

3. Uncomfortable Furniture

If you're sitting most of the day, it's so important to invest in a good desk chair. An unsupportive chair or poorly sized desk can be uncomfortable, making it harder to stay focused for long periods of time. Your back will thank you!

Ketut Subiyanto

4. No Boundaries Between Work and Home

Distractions at home like kids and partners can kill your productivity. Avoid blurring the line between work and home life by designating a private space, separate from high-traffic spaces, for your work hours if you can. Use rugs, curtains, or acoustic panels to reduce noise too.

Mizuno K

5. Lack of Storage

I get it, they're not the best-looking pieces in your home, but without proper filing systems you’ll waste time hunting for important documents or supplies. Invest in modern storage options that look good too from Mustard Made and The Container Store.

Vlada Karpovich

6. Unoptimized Tech Setup

Slow Internet or outdated tech tools can make you feel totally frustrated and can slow down your productivity. Upgrade your Internet to a faster connection, and refresh your tech gadgets and programs to make sure you work more efficiently.

Ivan Samkov

7. Awkward Desk Placement

Placing your desk in a spot with too much noise, traffic, or distractions — like facing a TV — will guarantee to disrupt your concentration. Find a more zen spot where you can focus on the tasks of the day.

Anna Shvets

8. Ignoring Ergonomics

Check your monitor height, keyboard positioning, and add a wrist rest so you don't lead to feeling uncomfortable and fatigued, cutting your workday short.

Mikhail Nilov

9. Lack of Personalization

A sterile, uninspiring office design does your motivation and creativity no favors. Make work feel less like a chore by adding personal touches through artwork, personal photos, candles, some fresh flowers or plants. Greenery can improve air quality and actually reduce work stress. Add a little snack station for quick energy boosts and keep water handy. Also, your Zoom backgrounds should reflect your personality!

Serpstat

10. No Inspiration

No matter what you do — whether it's a creative work or something more analytical — you want to feel inspired. Personalization can help, but dive into vision boards, books, magazines, quotes that inspire your work and help you bring fresh ideas to your workday. Color psychology can help too: blues and greens encourage focus and reduce stress while pops of yellow or orange can spark creativity! Break out the paint if needed!

Girls, get ready for what's shaping up to be a great year with news of the most-anticipated new music for 2024! We've been living in a weird time warp the past couple of years, but we're finally about to be blessed with spring movies and new album releases that are going to single-handedly save pop culture — and... country music?! From Beyoncé to Vampire Weekend, our roundup includes genres that everyone can happily move their feet to. Here's all the new music we're looking forward to this year!

Here's The Most-Anticipated New Music For 2024

Beyoncé + Renaissance: Act II, Cowboy Carter (March 29)

Not only did the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, but Beyoncé managed to break the internet by sharing that she has new music on the way via her Verizon commercial. Although fans knew she was going to release a follow-up to Renaissance, Beyoncé was tight-lipped about when it could be expected. However, the wait is over!

While Renaissance paid homage to house music and the culture that made it popular, the second act, titled "Cowboy Carter," is going to be a huge nod to country. She's already released two singles — "16 CARRIAGES" and "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" — that are triggering excitementon social media. Many, including us, are ready to "yeehaw" our way into spring with our cowgirl boots and hats.

Bey shared more about her challenges making Renaissance: Act II in an Instagram post detailing how isolating it is, as a Black woman, to be welcomed in the country music genre.

"The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me," the caption reads. "Act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work."

She also revealed that there'll be s"a few surprises" on the album, as she's collaborated with "brilliant artists who I deeply respect." We can only hope that means there's a Taylor Swift feature on there! 😉

Taylor Swift + The Tortured Poets Department (April 19)

It's almost time to for love and poetry to also help set the tone for spring with the upcoming release of The Tortured Poets Department— AKA TS11! While we can't get enough of her relationship with Travis Kelce, the Swifties need more lyrics to quote in our captions. While she hasn't released a single from it yet, Taylor did share the official track list for it and our hearts are already filled with emotion at the titles.

Side A

  • Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)
  • The Tortured Poets Department
  • My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys

  • So Long, London
  • But Daddy I Love Him

USHER, Pheelz - Ruin (Official Music Video)

Usher + Coming Home (Released February 9)

Who's here after Usher's magnetic halftime show at the Super Bowl? Our knees are still trying to recover from dancing along to the top hits he performed last night, but that's okay! For those of us who felt like the time went by too quick because we were having a lot of fun, Brit + Co is happy to share you can keep the party going by listening to Usher's new studio album Coming Home.

Listen to his new single "Ruin" for a taste of what your can expect to hear with his new music.

SLUT POP MIAMI CENSORED ADVERT “CAN WE F***?”

Kim Petras + Slut Pop Miami (February 14)

Kim Petras isn't known for biting her tongue and is releasing something that lovers of smut books will enjoy hearing in the form of Slut Pop Miami. Based on the teaser of "Can We F***," we think early 2000s summer melodies mixed with suggestive lyrics are going to be the basis of this album. Seriously, get into the track list:

  1. Slut Pop Reprise
  2. Gag On It
  3. Fuckin' This, Fuckin' That
  4. Banana Boat
  5. Get Fucked
  6. Rim Job
  7. Cock Blocker
  8. Butt Slutt
  9. Head Head Honcho
  10. Cubana
  11. Whale Cock
  12. Can We Fuck?

Jennifer Lopez - Can't Get Enough (feat. Latto) [Official Music Video]

Jennifer Lopez + This Is Me...Now (February 16)

We're a just a few days away from the debut of This Is Me...Now, and we can't wait to hear how much Jennifer Lopez has grown since her last album. It's meant to be a musical journey that explores her experiences since the release of This Is Me...Then, and even includes an updated love ballad to her husband Ben Affleck.

Faye Webster - Feeling Good Today (Official Video)

Faye Webster + Undressed at the Symphony (March 1)

Faye Webster wants us to start acknowledging life's simple pleasures with her new music. Similar to the TikTok sound that features the enchanting, "I think I like this little life," Webster's single "Feeling Good Today" reminds viewers that today's pleasures are all that matter. We imagine the entirety of Undressed at the Symphony will follow suit.

Tyla - Truth or Dare (Official Music Video)

Tyla + Tyla (March 1)

Tyla's single "Water" had us whining our waists with its melodic beat and her sweet vocals so it was only a matter of time before she shared the date of her new album. Her conversation with Harper's Bazaar highlights what listeners can expect from Tyla. She said, "Where I am from is everything...South Africa is literally me as an artist. I am bringing it wherever I go.”

Ariana Grande - yes, and? (official music video)

Ariana Grande + Eternal Sunshine (March 8)

It's been a few years since Ariana Grande released a new album, but she's coming back full force after announcing a release date for Eternal Sunshine. This will be her seventh album and — if you believe in numerology — it's alleged that the number seven symbolizes the completion of a cycle. This means we can probably expect this album to be full of new energy that'll serve as the soundtrack for our own lives — at least that's how we felt after listening to Ariana's single "yes, and?"
P.S. If you're feeling totally hyped for this, you're not alone — Billie Eilish even expressed her anticipation of Eternal Sunshine while talking to CBS News last week!

Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well (Official Music Video)

Kacey Musgraves + Deeper Well (March 15)

Clearly, it's time for a little country to dominate the charts. As reported by Pitchfork, Kacey Musgraves described her new album Deeper Well as being something where "you get blown off course, but eventually find your footing and forage for new inspiration, new insight, and deeper love somewhere else." Given how tough life can feel at times, Deeper Well is appropriately titled.

Justin Timberlake - Selfish (Official Video)

Justin Timberlake + Everything I Thought It Was (March 15)

Say whatever you want, but Justin Timberlake is ready to explain himself with his new album Everything I Thought It Was.

Only God Was Above Us (Album Trailer)

Vampire Weekend + Only God Was Above Us (April 5)

Vampire Weekend's last LP Father of the Bride was came out in 2019, so it's safe to say that they've been thoroughly missed. What's cool is that Pitchfork shared Ezra Koenig "wrote most of the lyrics for Only God Was Above Us in 2019 and 2020. With two singles – "Capricorn" and "Gen-X Cops" — releasing in a couple of days, we're positive they're going to solidify why this is one of our most-anticipated albums of 2024.

Sia and Kylie Minogue - Dance Alone (Lyric Video)

Sia + Reasonable Woman (May 3)

Sia's pen game is noteworthy as she's given us hits like "Chandelier " and "Unstoppable" over the years. Now she's back with a new album called Reasonable Woman. Her single "Dance Alone" features one of the queens of dance music, Kylie Minogue, and helps us have a better understanding of the album's energy.

Forbes also shared that listeners will be able to hear collabs with Chaka Khan and Paris Hilton. It's not like we needed another reason, but this cements Reasonable Woman as being one of the most-anticipated albums of the year.

Lana Del Rey - Take Me Home, Country Roads (Official Audio)

Lana Del Ray + Lasso (September 2024)

We can't be the only ones who still play "Summertime Sadness" like it's was just released yesterday, right? Luckily, we'll have more music to add to our Spotify playlists once she finally releases Lasso to the public. The musical direction of this album has country roots and is the result of working with producer Jack Antonoff, as reported byBillboard.

Most-Anticipated New Music Without Release Dates Yet

SZA + Lana (Unknown Release Date)

After winning the Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS at the 2024 Grammys, fans have been wondering when SZA will release new music. Despite not having an official release date, SZA actually teased that an album's already been in the works with a series of alleged album covers on Instagram. Variety shared that Lana was meant to be a deluxe version of SOS by adding "7 to 10 songs to the original album," but that plan changed. Instead, SZA told the outlet that Lana is "...definitely turning into its own album." Yay!

www.instagram.com

Lady Gaga (New Music TBD)

Lady Gaga is back in the studio, so we definitely think a new album could be in the works! While her caption on Instagram is incredibly cryptic, we can't help but hope that we're going to get a glimpse of Gaga in her "Bad Romance" era. Plus, fans think there may be a "Telephone" reunion with Beyoncé, based on some of Bey's recent visuals...we can only hope!

Dua Lipa on Her Very Detailed Daily Schedule, Notebook of Song Lyrics, New Album & Albanian Sayings

Dua Lipa (New Music TBD)

Dua Lipa knows there's no such thing as writing too many songs when you're an artist, and said as much during her Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance a few days ago. She told the Kimmel that she physically "wrote 97 songs" for her upcoming album that's been in the works for a while. However, this doesn't mean all of them will make the cut for the album's final track list.

Stay tuned for more updates!

www.instagram.com

Camila Cabello (New Music TBD)

It's been a long two years since Cabello's release of Familia, but we've been patiently waiting for her to share a new music update. The singer recently wiped her Instagram clean aside one reel and three images, and we have a feeling that this is strategic. Is she going full Taylor-Swift-Reputation-Mode? Only time will tell!

The world watched as the devastating L.A. fires swept away home after home last week — including reality TV icons Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's. To say it was heartbreaking for the L.A. community would be a gross understatement, and these two have been very open about the toll it's taken on their family. In an interview with Good Morning America, the couple opened up to share about their experience — and share the incredible way friends and fans have come together to support them.

Looking for ways to help L.A. after the devastating fires? Here's a very helpful list of resources you can donate to!

Here's how fans are helping Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag after the L.A. fires

www.youtube.com

- YouTube

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt joined Good Morning Americaon January 15, 2025 to talk about how the L.A. fires continue to impact them. The couple shared what it was like having to quickly leave their home in a moment's notice. Heidi explained that Spencer told her to grab anything she wanted to keep, so she ended up grabbing her kids' teddy bears because she was so flustered.

When their $2.5 million home actually caught fire, Spencer got choked up talking about watching their kids' rooms burn on their cameras. He said, "Our son’s bed started just burning in the shape of a heart. The fire started in the shape of a heart. I was like, ‘This is like, out of body insane.’"

Outside of that, the couple detailed the loss beyond the material items of it all. Spencer opened up about the memories lost throughout it all, too. He said, “I feel like a ghost. I don’t have a single photo now from before an iPhone existed. I don’t have any of the dumb little things that are on your shelves in your parents’ they’re all gone. Not a single nothing.”

And to Heidi, their home was more than a physical place to live. She shared, “It’s a place that you love that you live, it’s a refuge from the world. And to have that be gone, it’s a really difficult concept to continue to daily deal with."

In the midst of the devastation, fans and friends have banded together to support Heidi and Spencer in a really unique way. After Spencer posted on TikTok that people should stream Heidi's 2010 album Superficial, so they can generate revenue to rebuild their lives with, people took that and ran with it. The song eventually hit #1 on iTunes, and Spencer even shared that there's potential for it to hit Billboard's Hot 100 Dance Chart, too.

And it's not just fans blasting this throwback song. Friends and fellow celebrities like Paris Hilton and Flava Flav both posted the song on TikTok. Plus, former The Hills co-stars shared the song as well, including Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, and Audrina Patridge.

Heidi said, “The fan support has been such a light in such a darkness for us. It’s life-changing.”

We're sending love to Heidi and Spencer — and all the families impacted by the terrible L.A. fires this year.

Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is back for another season of snooping and stalking in New York City, and thanks to the new You season 5 teaser, we know exactly when this new TV show is returning. In addition to showing us characters from the past like Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), and Marienne Bellamy (Tati Gabrielle), Joe straight-up says goodbye to the one person who's always been there: you. Yep, Netflix went there.

“Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant,” Penn Badgley told Tudum. “And this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish.”

Here's a breakdown of that brand new You season 5 teaser.

"Hello, you. Do you remember me? Cause I remember you," Joe asks in the You season 5 teaser, over shots of New York City and Mooney's Books. "Here we are together again, back to where it began."

"A lot has happened these many years together," he continues. "Identities, cities, loves, complications." The trailer is a walk down memory lane for viewers and for Joe as he remembers Beck, Love, and Marienne — and locking them up. Plus some fights and escapes he made along the way.

"All that led me here to now, to where I as always meant to be," he says. "And the one constant, the one thing that has always been there for me, is you. You who have been there the whole time and will be there with me to the end. Goodbye, you."

Okay, this is totally giving me Black Mirror, metaverse vibes, especially since Joe's in his creepy underground bunker with all that blue lighting. I have chills down my spine just watching this!

Is season 5 of You coming out?

Yes, You season 5 is dropping on Netflix April 24, 2025.

We've been waiting for new episodes since season 4 premiered in 2023, but the writers and stars have been planning Joe's ending for much longer. "We have some ideas that we've been talking about pretty much from the beginning," Sera Gamble told EW when she was showrunner in 2023. "It's really the debate about what kind of justice would be fair and appropriate for a guy like Joe. And then do we believe that he would get that kind of punishment? My short answer is like, maybe not from the American system. But there might be other ways. So that's the stuff we're talking about."

But whatever these writers and directors have up their sleeves, Penn Badgley promises You season 5 will come to a "perfect" conclusion. “I would love for people to just be like, ‘Wow, it’s over and I feel good and I don’t want to watch it again,'" he told Harper's Bazaarin March of 2023. And honestly, a perfect ending is all TV fans can hope for these days, right?

Who's in the You season 5 cast?

The final season of You stars Penn Badgley, Madeline Brewer, Anna Camp, Charlotte Richie, and Griffin Matthews.

Are you excited for the final season of You? I cannot wait to see the way Penn Badgley and Netflix bring the show to a close. Follow us on Facebook for the latest You season 5 news — and updates on all your favorite TV shows!
