Delvey’s bedazzled ankle monitor

Convcited fraudster Anna Delvey hit the stage as a “Dancing With the Stars” contestant with a glittery ankle monitor. The Daily Beast says the detail was the unexpected star of the episode.

See the bedazzled ankle monitor for yourself here.

@JoeSteelerFan on X wasn't impressed, though: We shouldn't be glamorizing an ankle monitor -- or Delvey's criminal past.

Still, if you're interested…Page Six got the details on how Delvey managed to bedazzle her ankle monitor without taking it off -- she had to work with the costume department.

Ohtani’s 50-50 season

Shohei Ohtani is an MLB history-maker: He's the first to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season! AP News says it's a huge accomplishment -- home runs and steals carry a lot of weight in the game.

Watch the moment Ohtani founded the 50-50 club here -- he hit his 50th homer during a game against the Miami Marlins.

WaPo says Ohtani's 50-50 feat was the result of a legendary single-game performance: A game others claim as possibly the greatest in history, proving his unmatched versatility.

Barstool Sports was similarly flabbergasted: Ohtani's achievement is “historic”…but the 50-50 achievement is a bit less impressive with the new base running rules and gameplay.

By the way, a fan caught the ball from Ohtani's 50th home run. Sports Illustrated says the fan opted not to give it back to the Dodgers.
