Camille Kostek may be known for her good looks, but before gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated 's Swimsuit issue (four times), she was a reporter and anchor. Now, she's bringing her skills over to the Wipeout revival, where she's the host in the field. 

How's the vibe on set between you and hosts John Cena and Nicole Byer? 
Great vibes! We each bring our own flair and personality to the show to do our best and bring joy to everyone watching. 

Have you been tempted to try out the course? 
Yes! When I got the call that I was going to be one of the hosts, my immediate question to the producer was, "Can I run the course?!"

Impact of a Scholarship: Alex Aust - University of Maryland Athletics

Aust owes it all to Maryland and being a scholarship student-athlete with the women's lacrosse program from 2009-13. 

"The person I am, the woman I am today, is definitely due to my experience and upbringing at Maryland," said Aust. "Going to Maryland was an amazing, unique experience while I was there for my four years -- so much so that I stayed for two more years (as Director of Lacrosse Operations) after and worked with Cathy (Reese) because I really didn't want it to end. 

"But now, being older and talking to friends and playing with other people, I just realize what we had at Maryland and it was really special. I've never met anyone that isn't proud to be a Terp. I can't tell you how many times in my professional world, I run into someone and that's the first thing they tell me -- that they are also a Terp. It really is a sense of community and pride that I'm not sure other other schools have."

For Aust, having that scholarship and playing for the most illustrious women's lacrosse program of all-time was something special. 

"I was proud to even have a spot on the team and, and to be offered any sort of financial scholarship from Cathy meant that she believed in me and wanted me to be a part of their program," said Aust, who was a part of four ACC Championship teams and the 2010 National Champion team. "I did not take that lightly. I was super grateful for it, and took it as an opportunity to make the most out of my education."

In her current role as a coach and counselor working with up and coming lacrosse players, Aust can provide the perspective on the impact of a scholarship and the chance to play college lacrosse. 

"I am always thankful for my time at Maryland and the opportunity Cathy provided to me," said Aust, who grew up in Sterling, Va., and prepped at the Bullis School. "Even now, I coach young girls and trying to help them understand the recruiting process is something I learned at Maryland. I say, even if a coach offers you a spot, with no money, that's something that you should be super grateful for."

Aust's fondest on-field memories as a Terp come from those classic match-ups with North Carolina in the early 2010s. The Terps beat the Tar Heels in the ACC Championship in each of her four years as a decorated attacker. 

"That rivalry, every game that we got to play against them was an incredible game," said Aust, who, in an interesting twist, continues to hear about the Tar Heels on a daily basis as she's engaged to former North Carolina men's lacrosse standout Marcus Holman. 




Caroline Marks ready to surf for Team USA during historic Summer Olympics debut in Tokyo

Heading toward the historic debut of surfing as an Olympic sport, Team USA member Caroline Marks is confident she has upgraded her skills since the COVID-19 pandemic brought the pro tour to a halt last year.

"I feel like my surfing's improved, and my training's improved. It's been good. Obviously, I missed competing so much — and I'm so grateful to be back competing," Marks said Wednesday night during an interview from Australia.

The 19-year-old is ranked No. 5 in the World Surf League this season after the first two contests, the Maui Pro at Pipeline in Hawaii (she finished ninth) and the Rip Curl Newcastle Cup in Australia (she finished third).

She is now focused on competing in the Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic, which starts Friday and lasts through April 26 in New South Wales, Australia.

And Marks is eyeing the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where surfing will occur during a window from July 25 to Aug. 1. She and Hawaii's Carissa Moore will represent Team USA in the 20-surfer women's field. They qualified by topping the 2019 WSL final season rankings, with Moore finishing first and Marks second.

"I think having surfing being accepted on that global stage is extraordinary. It's an opportunity to take a hugely popular sport and do two things. No. 1, showcase the skill of these amazing athletes to millions of people who may not even know what professional surfing looks like," WSL CEO Erik Logan said.

"As an American myself here, you look at someone like Caroline — who is one of the brightest young stars we have in the World Surf League — qualify as an Olympian. She carries with her the dreams and aspirations of many young women," he said.

Marks grew up just north of Floridana Beach in Brevard County, and she attended Gemini Elementary in Melbourne Beach. She started surfing at age 10 and won the Under-12 Surfing America Prime — the top U.S. amateur title — one year later.

In 2018 — after winning 17 national titles by age 15 — she became the youngest surfer to qualify for the pro championship surfing tour. She also won her hometown event, the Florida Pro at Sebastian Inlet, and captured the WSL Rookie of the Year award.

Hunter McGrady Called Out the Lack of Representation for Curvy Pregnant Women

"There aren't any plus size pregnant women on magazine covers, advertisements, television, or even the brochures at the OBGYN office. It's almost as if we don't exist, like we're an anomaly," she wrote.

McGrady is making more than a fair argument. If we're going to fight for equal representation, that means representing all ages, all skin tones, and all bodies. Society's standards shouldn't be dictating what's "normal" or "average" because every body is different and normal is so over.

"Wherever you are on your journey just remember how wildly worthy you are to experience this and enjoy every moment of it just as anyone else." We stand with you, Hunter, and all beautiful curvy pregnant women!

Hilary Duff shares her struggles as a mom after welcoming her baby girl

The 33-year-old star of Younger was featured in the new episode of Dr. Berlin's Informed Pregnancy Podcast , where she explained that she has struggled with breastfeeding, as it is painful and hard because she is "not a huge milk-producer."

She also shared some of her previous experiences, confessing that it was easier with her first born Luca , adding that "all of the babies latch really great," and it is a very emotional process for her.

This time around Hilary says that she has been breastfeeding Mae, and will continue to keep trying for the next couple of because.

"This is the first baby that I haven't supplemented with yet, so I've just exclusively been breastfeeding her," she shared.

The actress also confessed that another struggle she has involves her other two children, because breastfeeding takes up such a huge portion of her day, and she still needs to make time for 9-year-old Luca and 2-year-old Banks .

"It seems like every 20 minutes I'm feeding the baby, and I have to be sitting in one place, and Banks is still not quite old enough to understand, even though she has been amazing with the baby. It's just hard."

Hilary says that ultimately she feels very anxious because she doesn't know if she will produce enough milk to continue breastfeeding Mae, "and then the spiral continues from there."

The iconic actress, who recently r evealed the secret to a happy marriage with husband Michael Douglas , is now opening up about the future of her 20-year-old son Dylan , and 17-year-old daughter Carys .

Catherine explained during her latest interview that her kids are "extremely bright," and although they are studying history and politics, they might be inclined to a different profession.

And talking about her own professional career, she says she had an extraordinary journey , but it seems she was afraid of the pressures in the film industry her kids could face in the future.

However the two stars are now acknowledging that "their passion is about acting as a craft and they've done every theater camp."

Catherine says Dylan and Carys "went off to summer camp every year, to theater camp with all the Broadway kids, and held their own very, very well, I have to say."

She also confessed that because they both have seen first-hand the movie business, "they know what celebritydom is. They know the good, the bad, warts and all of that."

The actress wants their kids to learn from Michael's experience, as his father was Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas .

"In a way, one would think there's so many open doors for people to go into the same business as their parents, but in fact, one has to really prove themselves more and it's hard to be prepared," she share
