Published by Daniella Wilson

Carrie Underwood showcased her toned legs as she stepped out with her fellow American Idol judges, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday. The country superstar looked incredible in a patterned gray sweater, a collared shirt, and a dark green plaid miniskirt. She completed the look with white crew socks and dark-colored glossy shoes, and wore her dark blonde hair down in subtle waves. The 42-year-old shared that she tried to bring some of her own experiences as a previous Idol contestant to the new season. “Hopefully I gave some wisdom, having been in their shoes, that I can impart on them and help them along in that way,” she said. © ABC/Jimmy Kimmel Live!Carrie wowed in a plaid miniskirt and gray sweater Carrie, Luke and Lionel will return to our screens on Monday, January 26, with the latest season of American Idol. This season will mark Carrie’s second year in a row on the judging panel, after she won the competition back in 2005.

Best Looking Running Tights: Nike AeroSwift Tights Nike AeroSwift Dri-FIT ADV Running Tights The Swoosh’s AeroSwift running tights prioritize a stripped-down, yet functional approach, while still looking cool as hell. The textured, ribbed lines throughout the tight are part of a stretch-woven fabric that moves with the runner, providing a glove-like feel that prioritizes speed above all else. Additionally, the waistband features a bit of ventilation to keep you cool, stash pockets for minor essentials like a card or a gel for race day, and a zippered phone back pocket. Best Splurge: District Vision Full-Length Recycled Tights District Vision Full-Length Recycled Tights District Vision’s tight just feels great to wear. The form-fitting, full-length tight is one of the few I’ve worn on a run and then lounged in for hours afterward without thinking twice. It’s an elegant exercise in minimalism, featuring only a few critical pockets, including a rear zip for valuables and a side cargo pocket for a phone or even a set of shades. Above all else, however, is that quarter-pound weight made …

Rose Byrne Wins (I Had Legs)

Rose Byrne Wins (I Had Legs)

Published by Daniella Wilson

Rose Byrne gave a unique explanation for why longtime partner Bobby Cannavale was unable to join her at the 2026 Golden Globes, where she won best actress in a musical or comedy movie for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Byrne, who earned her first-ever Golden Globe, appeared surprised upon hearing her name and told the crowd from the podium, “Of course, I didn’t prepare anything.” She went on to thank the film’s writer-director, Mary Bronstein, and quipped about the A24 project, “We shot this movie in 25 days for like $8.50.” The Australian actress thanked brother George for accompanying her to the ceremony. She also noted that her parents “bought Paramount+ so they could watch the Golden Globes from Sydney.” Byrne explained that Cannavale was unable to join her at the Golden Globes because he was in the process of finding a new, cold-blooded member of the family. “We’re getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey,” she said to laughter from crowd. (Byrne referred to Cannavale …

I tried this five-minute yoga flow before bed and it instantly fixed my heavy legs after a hard workout

I tried this five-minute yoga flow before bed and it instantly fixed my heavy legs after a hard workout

I blame the walking lunges. Last week I ran my first solo HYROX race in London. It was fun, at first. Until my lack of adequate preparation caught up with me during the penultimate workout station. Every few walking lunges, with a 45lb sandbag over my shoulders, sent my quads into an uncomfortable spasm. You may like I just about managed to shake off the cramp and get round the rest of the course, but over the next few days delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) bit in a big way. I tried some gentle active recovery. I tried using a massage gun and compression boots. I stretched, rehydrated and replenished with copious helpings of carbs and protein (aka pepperoni pizza). But, ultimately, a five-minute pre-bed yoga flow I discovered on Instagram got me back on my feet—ironically by getting me off them. What I thought of the yoga flow This four-move routine from yoga teacher Leanne Lent via Yoga-Go, is designed as a bedtime flow to improve sleep quality. Start your week with achievable workout …

Early hominins walked on two legs 7 million-years-ago, study finds

Early hominins walked on two legs 7 million-years-ago, study finds

Published by Jenni Sidey

A seven-million-year-old skull found in Chad sits at the center of a long argument about human origins. The species, Sahelanthropus tchadensis, was announced in the early 2000s as a possible early hominin. That label matters because it would place upright walking close to the split between the human line and the chimpanzee and bonobo line. Now a team led by Scott Williams, an associate professor in New York University’s Department of Anthropology, says the strongest evidence yet comes from a different part of the body: a thigh bone. The group also included researchers from the University of Washington, Chaffey College, and the University of Chicago. Their findings appear in Science Advances. At issue is bipedalism. If Sahelanthropus regularly walked on two legs, it fits more cleanly within the human lineage. If not, it may belong closer to other ancient apes, or even represent a mix that is harder to classify.
