NEED TO KNOW

  • The actress has been open about her health journey, losing nearly 20 pounds after lifestyle changes during perimenopause

  • Hart credits cutting out alcohol and sugar with helping her feel stronger and healthier than she has in years

Melissa Joan Hartis showing off her strength — and doing it in style.

The actress, 49, shared avideo to Instagramon Tuesday, March 31, that shows her working out in her dressing room while wearing stilettos, jeans and a layered top with a sweater vest. In the clip, Hart performs push-ups using 15-pound weights, incorporating renegade rows into the move.

“Fun new project I'm working on... and I asked for 15lb weights in my room to get my pump on.... in my pumps,” she wrote in the caption, adding the hashtags “#StayStrong ladies” and “#RenegadeRows.”

The impressive moment comes as Hart continues to open up about her ongoing health journey.

In anexclusive interview with PEOPLEearlier this year, theSabrina the Teenage Witchalum shared that she initially believed perimenopause would prevent her from losing weight. Instead, she ended up dropping nearly 20 pounds after making lifestyle changes.

“I actually feel stronger and better than I have in a really long time,” Hart told PEOPLE atSteven Tyler’s 7th Annual Jam for JanieGrammyviewing party on Feb. 1, an event benefitting the rocker’sJanie’s Fund, which supports neglected and abused girls.

“I just wanted to feel better. It had nothing to do with losing weight,” she said. “I really didn't think I could lose weight anymore, being in midlife and perimenopause and all those things, I was like, ‘Can I really lose weight? I don't think I can.’”

Her approach started with small changes that made a big impact.

“I haven’t had a drink in over a year,” she said. “I just don't even enjoy drinking. So why bother? So I cut these things out of my life, and I started to feel better.”

She added that cutting out both alcohol and sugar played a key role in improving her health.

“In doing that, I lost a lot of weight and kind of feel great,” she added.

In aninterview with PEOPLE, Daniels added, "I certainly don't feel 99 years old, that's for sure." When then asked about being one year away from hitting the century mark, he said with a laugh, "Oh, I don't want to be a hundred. Who wants to be a hundred?"

Daniels was a fixture on TV in the 1980s, winning two Emmy wins for his performance on the medical dramaSt. Elsewhere, while also serving as the voice of the technically advanced car KITT onKnight Rider. But he then became the favorite teacher of all '90s kids as Mr. Feeny onBoy Meets World. Throughout the coming-of-age sitcom's seven-season run, Feeny acted as the sage mentor, teacher, principal, and neighbor for Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and his friends.

Florida center Olivier Rioux, the tallest college basketball player ever, enters transfer portal

The tallest basketball player in NCAA history is looking for a new team in the offseason. Florida center Olivier Rioux is entering the transfer portal after a middling sophomore season with the Gators.

Yahoo Sports

Rioux, 20, confirmed the news on Instagram, thanking the team and fans for their support.

Rioux is making the move after seeing limited time in just 11 games as a sophomore. He averaged 0.6 points and 0.5 rebounds in just 1.5 minutes per game.

Rioux originally joined Florida as a preferred walk-on during the 2024-25 season. It wound up being a red-shirt year for the center, however, and he did not appear in a game.

His second season at Florida didn’t result in many significant moments, but he did break a record the instant he stepped on the court. During a November game against North Florida, Rioux became the tallest college basketball player to see action in a game, as he tallied two minutes of play during the contest. The 7-foot-9 center did not record any stats in the game, however.

He was used in a reverse/mop-up role the rest of the way, seeing one or two minutes sparingly with Florida throughout the season. His best performance came in a 114-55 blowout win over Prairie View A&M, when he scored two points and recorded two rebounds and an assist in two minutes of play.

Rioux does have a history of strong play prior to joining Florida. He’s played prominent roles for Canada’s FIBA teams as an amateur and has two bronze medals for his efforts there.

Entertainment Weekly Taylor Swift; Elizabeth TaylorCredit: Getty(2)

Key Points

  • The music video is a supercut of red carpet footage and iconic movies Taylor starred in throughout her career.

  • Swift said that she told the late actress' estate that she was writing a song about her, and "they were lovely about it."

Taylor Swift's latest music video may be missing one Taylor but is packed with another.

On March 31, the 14-time Grammy winner dropped the music video for her song "Elizabeth Taylor," the third from herThe Life of a Showgirlalbum. The video is a gorgeous montage of archival red carpet footage of Elizabeth Taylor and snippets from some of her most famous roles includingCat on a Hot Tin RoofandCleopatra.

Film buffs and fans of the screen siren will also recognize moments fromFather of the Bride,A Place in the Sun,Giant,Suddenly, Last Summer,Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, andJulia Misbehaves. Close-ups of her violet eyes and stunning diamond jewelry are sprinkled throughout the clip as well.

The montage of Taylor's movies and red carpet b-roll footage fits in with the lyrics. For example, "All my white diamonds and lovers are forever," zooms into a massive diamond ring, while "In the papers, on the screen and in their minds," cuts to Taylor on a Hollywood date night.

Swift's song plays over the video; however, Swift is nowhere to be seen. Her most recent music videos for"Opalite"and"The Fate of Ophelia"from her albumThe Life of a Showgirlwere much more involved with set designs and choreography.

The supercut focuses mainly on the actress, who was married eight times to seven different men (she wed and divorcedRichard Burtontwice) and died in 2011 at the age of 79.

At the end of the music video, Swift thanks the House of Taylor & Elizabeth Taylor Trust, along with the Todd family and the Wilding family. Taylor was married to Mike Todd and Michael Wilding.

In October, Swift said that she contacted the estate of Taylor to let them know she was writing a song about the two-time Oscar winner, as she lets "real people" know if they're about the be name-dropped in her music. "And if it's Elizabeth Taylor, we go to their family and her estate and let them know and they were lovely about it."

This isn't the first time Swift mentioned Taylor in her songs. On "...Ready For It?," the opening track to her 2017 albumReputation, Swift sings about Taylor and Burton's relationship. "And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor / Every love I've known in comparison is a failure," she says.

Taylor's sonChristopher Wilding told PEOPLE in October 2025that he thinks the singer and his late mother "seem like kindred spirits." "They are both the very embodiment of female empowerment. The way [Swift] has deftly captured the similarities and parallel tracks in their careers and personal lives is delightful."

The 2026 Masters: What to know about the first major of the year

The Masters, golf’s most prestigious major, tees off in just over a week, and with a star-studded field of 93 players, the competition promises to be as fierce as ever.

USA TODAY Sports

Defending champion Rory McIlroy looks to etch his name into history by joining the elite club of multiple green jacket winners after an impressive 2025 victory that helped him complete the career Grand Slam. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters as the heavy favorite, backed by a dominant start to 2026 that includes his victory at the American Express in January.

Also firmly in the conversation is 2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm. The LIV Golf standout has played five events this season, posting a top-five finish in each appearance.

Collin Morikawa arrives in strong form, having claimed his seventh PGA Tour title at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and added a top-five finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March. He has been equally impressive at Augusta National, finishing T-3rd in 2024, his second top-five result in his last four Masters appearances.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 Masters.

2026 NCAA tournament picks, predictions: Best bets for the Final Four

We saw the definition of March Madness last weekend, whenNo. 2 UConn stunned No. 1 overall seed Duke with a last-second 3-pointer to win 73-72and complete a historic comeback after being down 15 points at halftime.

Yahoo Sports

UConn is a small underdog against No. 3 Illinois in the Final Four, while No. 1 Arizona is a currently a small ‘dog against fellow No. 1 seed Michigan in what should be a fantastic matchup between arguably the two best teams in the country.

Below you'll find the favorite wagers for all the games from our college basketball handicappers — Corbie Craig, Matt Jacob and Matt Russell. We’ll update this piece throughout the week with more wagers from our experts.

All odds courtesy ofBetMGM.

Best bets for Saturday’s Final Four games

No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 1 Michigan (-1.5, 157.5)

Jacob:First-half scores in Michigan’s last five contests dating to the Big Ten tournament championship game: 38-38, 50-46, 48-39, 49-47 and 48-26. All five surpassed 75 points and all five flew over the first-half total, with the Wolverines putting up an average of 46.2 points.

Meanwhile, in its last eight games dating to the regular-season finale at Colorado, Arizona and its opponents have combined for at least 74 first-half points six times. During this stretch, the Wildcats have averaged 37.1 points in the opening 30 minutes of action.

Translation: Both of these No. 1 seeds love to push the pace, particularly early; both can fill the bucket; and both are extraordinarily efficient on the offensive end. I don’t expect anything different in Saturday’s Final Four nightcap.

In fact, both teams have already shown in the NCAA tournament what happens when facing an opponent that also loves to sprint up and down the court. In the Sweet 16, Arizona beat Arkansas 109-88 (with the teams combining for 97 first-half points), and Michigan thumped Alabama 90-77 (with 96 of those points scored before halftime).

It might take a beat or two for these squads to get used to shooting in a cavernous football stadium, but they’ll eventually heat up and easily top 80 points before the first-half horn sounds.

Advertisement

Bet: First half over 73.5 points (-125)

No. 2 UConn vs. No. 3 Illinois (-1.5, 139.5)

Jacob:Here’s a quick recap of Illinois’ NCAA tournament performance to date: Four wins, all by double digits; three straight opponents held to fewer than 60 points on 38% shooting; a cumulative plus-65 rebounding advantage; and four starters averaging at least 12 points per contest. Just flat-out, across-the-board domination.

So, of course I’m fading the Illini in the Final Four.

The main reason: At this point, a bet against UConn in the Big Dance is essentially a bet against the sun rising tomorrow.

The Huskies’ record in their last 18 NCAA tournament games overall: 17-1 (including 15 double-digit blowouts). Their record in their last 18 tournament games from the Sweet 16 onward: 18-0 (the most recent being Sunday’s miraculous Elite Eight comeback against No. 1 overall seed Duke).

Ranking Duke's worst NCAA tournament losses since its last title

Another reason why I’m backing UConn: It already manhandled Illinois once this season, rolling 74-61 as a 3.5-point favorite in Madison Square Garden back on Nov. 28. Remember those four Illini starters averaging double digits in the NCAA tournament? They combined for 18 points on 6-for-27 shooting (including 2-for-13 from 3-point range) against the Huskies.

Granted, Nov. 28 is a long time ago. But early February is not. I bring that up because that’s when Illinois lost 85-82 to Michigan State in overtime — the first of four consecutive overtime losses (by a combined 10 points) that Illinois suffered between Feb. 7-March 13.

In fact, since edging Texas Tech 81-77 in their third game of the season Nov. 11, the Illini have played six games decided by fewer than six points. Their record in those six contests: 0-6. In other words, Illinois is untrustworthy in close games.

Well, I fully expect this one to be a 40-minute dogfight. And I fully expect UConn to do what UConn always does this time of year: come out on top — somehow, some way.

Bet: UConn money line (+115)
