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.

The Price Is Right's complicated history, which includes accusations of discrimination and sexual harassment, is dissected on E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals: The Price Is Right

NEED TO KNOW

In response to the discussion around the documentary, former producer Roger Dobkowitz shared his thoughts in a lengthy Facebook post
Barker hosted The Price Is Right from 1972 to 2007 and remained a beloved public figure through his death in 2023

A member ofThe Price Is Rightteam is speaking out inBob Barker's defense.

Roger Dobkowitz, a former producer on the game show, shared a statement on Instagram sharing his thoughts on E!'s docuseries,Dirty Rotten Scandals, which dedicated two episodes to exploring the environment behind the scenes ofThe Price Is Rightduring Barker's time hosting.

Dobkowitz first joined the game show team as a production assistant in 1974, becoming a producer on the show in 1984. He was at the show until mid 2008.

Dobkowitz called the docuseries, which featured different members of the show's team from the late 1970s through the early 2000s, a "hit piece" against Barker.

"Many of my friends have asked me for my comments in regards to the E documentary that was recently shown on their network. However, up until now, I avoided commenting on it because I didn't want to add any social traction to such an obvious 'hit piece.' The 'documentary' should just quietly disappear into the bottom of a TV equivalent of a waste basket along with all the other forgotten so-called 'exposes,' " Dobkowitz wrote in aFacebook post.

Sharing his own thoughts, he continued, "This so-called 'expose' makes me realize that there are some people in this world who will happily exaggerate and create falsehoods in order to justify a personal, hateful vendetta against a person in order to draw attention to themselves. Making the situation worse is the fact that the accused is deceased, and therefore, making it impossible for the accused to defend himself. The adjective 'brave' should never be used in reference to a person attacking a dead person."

Dobkowitz continued, "Most people in society and individuals move on with their lives, especially after courtrooms have settled disputes and they are closed. Most people are happy that a headache in their lives is over. Such closure is usually a life marker to remind the person to grow and put things behind them. When someone feels the compulsion to constantly bring it up for another 30 years is a sign that something could be wrong with their capacity to reason maturely."

The producer discussed the possibility of writing a book, adding, "My 36 years of observations with Bob, the models, and the staff will clear up lots of misconceptions and dismiss many wrongful accusations. The show was a happy place…our working environment was the envy of other shows. Staff rarely quit...the dozens of women who were in our repertoire of models came back year after year, happy to be on our show."

"The only unhappy people, as would be found in any company, were the ones that didn't get the raise they wanted, the ones that didn't get the promotion they thought they deserved, and the ones that were terminated for not doing their job. Of course, we did have a small handful of those people, but far, far, less than other companies had. I was there for 36 years. I was on that stage."

Dobkowitz isn't the only person to come forward in defense of Barker. The late host's longtime representative, Roger Neal, also shared a statement refuting the claims in the documentary.

"Barker was and is beloved, and people to this day love him," Neal toldUSA Today. "He was part of the fabric of American pop culture. He was the greatest MC in TV history. I was honored to have represented him."

Lamar Odom's past is a 'cesspool of trauma,' he says: 'I don't know what made me relevant now'

After his October 2015 overdose at a Nevada brothel, Lamar Odom says, he had "12 strokes and six heart attacks. All my doctors say, like, I'm a walking miracle."

Now, more than a decade later, the Love Ranch brothel has been demolished, but Odom is still around.

The former Laker and onetime husband of Khloé Kardashian is telling his story for "The Death and Life of Lamar Odom," the newest episode of Netflix's documentary series "Untold," along with Kardashian, former coach Phil Jackson and others who were around during his Oct. 13, 2015, health emergency. The episode premiered Tuesday.

Read more:Why did they remake 'Faces of Death'? And why is it so good?

"You know what's funny?" the 46-year-old former player toldSports Illustratedin an interview published Monday. "I haven't even watched it yet. You know why? Because I lived it."

Odom, who just got out ofanother month of rehabin February, insists that the 2015 episode was not a mere overdose but a "hit," an attempt on his life.

"Right when I signed the divorce papers, I was like, 'I'm gonna get it in.' The Bunny Ranch I used to always see on TV, but I don't have any coke to take," he says in the documentary. " ... It's crazy when you think about [how] one decision, so big or so minor, could be so pivotal to you and to people that you really love."

The late Dennis Hof, owner of the Bunny Ranch, where HBO's "Cathouse: The Series" was shot, owned other Nevada brothels. Odom set off that October for Hof's Love Ranch in Crystal, about 80 miles outside of Las Vegas.

"It was pretty rare that a celebrity — certainly anybody above the D-list — would be actively trying to come out to one of the brothels," former Love Ranch manager Richard Hunter says in the "Untold" episode. "This was kind of a myth. This was something Dennis perpetuated."

But, Hunter said, "Lamar Odom actually began contacting several of the girls from the Love Ranch on Instagram. ... Being a professional athlete, there's a lot of easier ways to do this than to drive an hour outside of the city into the desert, walk into a brothel, such as it was, and want to live there for a few days.

"As the days progressed, I remember that him or one of his handlers ... actually contacted the brothel and wanted a car to pick him up. So it definitely became real when he gave us the address of where he was at." The driver called the Love Ranch and let them know his passenger really was Odom. They put him in a house behind the brothel, Hunter said, where they put folks who were "spending enough money."

Odom toldUSA Todayin an interview published Monday that what transpired at the Love Ranch — whichwas demolishedin November 2024, afterHof's 2018 death— "was like a hit. Obviously they missed. I don't know if they want to finish the job."

Hit or not, Odom infamously wound up overdosing on alcohol and various drugs includingover-the-counter erectile-dysfunction supplements. He says no cocaine was involved.

Kardashian explains in the episode that her divorce from Odom came as a result of an ultimatum she was told to deliver during a planned intervention: a three-month rehab stint or a split. Odom surprised them, she said, when he said that all he wanted was his passport — and the divorce.

"I was like, looking around like, 'Wait. Wait. I — I don't want the divorce,'" she said. "'You guys [who assembled for the intervention] told me I have to say this.'"

Odom and Kardashian had signed their papers before the OD, but a judge hadn't yet signed off on the dissolution, which allowed her to keep him insured and, as his wife and next of kin, to make decisions regarding his health. Kobe Bryant, Odom's Lakers teammate and Kardashian's close friend, flew to Nevada to help her decide whether to proceed with surgery to fix Odom's lung that had collapsed. She said yes, even though there was only "like a 10% chance" that it would work and that he would survive the procedure.

Odom made it through, recovering at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Bryantdied in a helicopter crashless than five years later.

After the OD, Kardashian never left the hospital. She put their divorce — finalized in 2016 — on hold. When Odom awakened from his coma, he couldn't control his bowels and needed six hours a day of dialysis, according to the documentary. "So you can understand the humility ... I've won two championships. I'm Lamar Odom. I can't walk, can't talk. And they come in to check my diaper."

He was 35 at the time. The next summer, he was removed from a flight at LAX before takeoffwhile drunk and vomiting, having been seen earlier slamming beer and whiskey in the Delta Airlines lounge.

So what would Odom tell his younger self, if he could, after suffering a dozen strokes and six heart attacks after that visit to the Love Ranch?

"Stay away from your weakness. And my weakness, obviously, was drugs because I'm a drug addict," he told SI. "It could have been passed down to me from my father. But I'm not blaming anybody. Makes no sense to blame anybody. On or off the court, you have to work with what you've got. And I had an incredible stat line in terms of skills and how to play the game.

"And just work on being the best player that you can be. Anybody who offers you that s—, drugs, whether it be coke, pot, alcohol, they probably ain't your friend. And to choose my friends wisely, because they could affect you on or off the court."

Odom also wasn't sure why Netflix had tapped him at this moment, but hopes that by telling his story he might help other people who are trying to get out of addiction.

"I was telling my girlfriend on the way here, it's like swimming in a cesspool of trauma," he told USA Today, mentioning a partner who has not been identified. "And I'm trying to get out of it, but the story reels me back into that pool every time. But I just know I'm bigger than the situation, and I hope to help a lot of people by giving my testimony. Not just with the story, but just in life, that we can all overcome addiction."

That and, well, "Netflix had a good paycheck, bro," he told SI with a laugh. "No, but it's a time and place for everything. I don't know what made me relevant now."

FAA reduces SFO arrivals, setting up delays amid runway work and safety concerns

Travelers should expect delays when they fly through San Francisco International Airport after the Federal Aviation Administration this week cut a third of its arrivals because of safety concerns and runway construction.

A temporary runway project and permanent FAA rule change announced Tuesday means San Francisco's airport will go from 54 plane arrivals an hour to 36 arrivals. It is not yet clear if any flights will be canceled.

A deadly runway crash betweenAir Canada jet and a fire truckat New York's LaGuardia Airport in March is the latest air-traffic safety calamity. But the aviation administration said the rule change is not triggered by broader safety concerns and only affects the San Francisco airport.

Here's what to know:

Concerns involve parallel runways

FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said officials decided that SFO's longstanding practice of landing two planes at the same time on closely spaced parallel runways that are just 750 feet (228.60 meters) apart — along with congested airspace — was too dangerous. He could not say why the practice had been allowed.

The San Francisco safety concerns are unique to that airport because of how close the parallel runways are and how complicated the airspace is with several surrounding airports. The San Francisco Bay Area is served by three major airports, including San José Mineta International Airport and Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, and smaller ones.

The airport operates on two sets of parallel runways. The north-south runways are out of commission for six months for a repaving project that is responsible for nine of the 18 flight-per-hour reductions. The rule change will affect the remaining nine flights.

Long-term effect of delays is unclear

Doug Yakel, an airport spokesman, said about 25% of arriving flights are expected to be delayed by 30 minutes or more. He said the airport is working with the FAA to improve arrival times but didn't provide more specifics on whether flights might be canceled.

United Airlines said it is reviewing the rule change to see if any changes need to be made to its flight schedule, a spokesperson said by email. United is the largest airline at SFO.

Alaska Airlines, the second-largest carrier, said in an email that the situation was changing by the day, with 15 flights delayed out of SFO on Monday and none experiencing delays on Tuesday.

The runway under construction is set to reopen on Oct. 2, which should alleviate some of the delays, Yakel said.

Trump's White House ballroom blocked by judge

A federal judge issued an order to halt PresidentDonald Trump's plan to build a$400 million White House ballroomat the site of the since-demolished East Wing, saying no work can proceed "absent express authorization from Congress."

U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon's ruling comes after the National Trust for Historic Preservationfiled an amended lawsuitlast month against Trump and several federal agencies asking to stop construction on the90,000-square-foot ballroom. The nonprofit group argued that Trump should have sought Congress' permission before the demolition of the East Wing.

An earlier December lawsuit had been dismissed by the judge, who said the organization did not sufficiently prove the president was exceeding his powers.

President Donald Trump holds renderings of the planned White House ballroom as he talks with reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on March 29, 2026.

But the latest ruling stops any actions "including but not limited to any further demolition, site preparation work, landscape alteration, excavation, foundation work, or other construction or related work," other than moves that are "strictly necessary" to ensure security in the area.

Carol Quillen, president and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said in a statement she was pleased with the decision.

"This is a win for the American people on a project that forever impacts one of the most beloved and iconic places in our nation," she said.

The order takes effect April 14, 14 days from the date it was issued. The White House team is required to file a report apprising the court of the status of their compliance within 21 days after the date the order takes effect.

"President Trumpclearly has the legal authority to modernize, renovate, and beautify the White House – just like all of his predecessors did. We will immediately appeal this egregious decision and are confident we will prevail," White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said.

Two days before the ruling, Trump said an important part of the ballroom he's building for the White House is a "massive military complex" underneath it that was supposed to remain secret. He blamed the lawsuit for exposing the secret.

"Now the military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed," Trump said. "But the military's building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that's under construction and we're doing very well."

Minutes after the ruling, Trump railed against the the National Trust for Historic Preservation in apost on X, calling the group a "Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005."

Detailed renderings reveal the scale of the proposed 89,000-square-foot White House ballroom. The images by Shalom Baranes Associates—later removed from the National Capital Planning Commission's website—show a new East Wing roughly a city block long, longer than the West Wing and more than half the length of the adjacent Treasury Building.

The images by Shalom Baranes Associates—later removed from the National Capital Planning Commission's website—show a new East Wing roughly a city block long, longer than the West Wing and more than half the length of the adjacent Treasury Building.

"The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World," he wrote.

On March 23, a coalition of eight cultural heritage and architectural organizations including the National Trust for Historic Preservation jointly represented by three law firmsfiled a suitin federal district court in Washington, DC, seeking to require the Trump administration to comply with historic preservation laws and secure congressional authorization before altering the "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts."

Trump also lashed out against theKennedy Center lawsuitin his reaction to the ballroom ruling.

"I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center (A show of Bipartisan Unity, a Republican and Democrat President!), where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and 'sprucing up' a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance."

Trump went on to complain that the preservation group had not sued the Federal Reserve for the renovations of its headquarters which he said "has been decimated and destroyed, inside and out, by an incompetent and possibly corrupt Fed Chairman" or California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the California High-Speed Rail project, a long-delayed multibillion-dollar project often dubbed a "railroad to nowhere" by critics.

On April 2, the National Capital Planning Commission, the overseer of federal property development and site designs, will vote on the ballroom project following apublic hearing which was held last month. The hearing drew more than 35,000 comments, the majority of which were negative.

Two-thirds of Americans want quick end to Iran war even if goals unachieved, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

By Costas Pitas

March 31 (Reuters) - Two-thirds of Americans believe that the U.S. should work to end its involvement in the Iran ‌war quickly, even if that means not achieving the goals ‌set out by the Trump administration, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

Some 66% of respondents to the poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, voiced that view, while 27% said the U.S. should work to achieve all its goals in Iran, even if the conflict goes on for an extended period. Six percent did not answer the ‌question.

Among Trump's Republicans, 40% ⁠supported ending the conflict quickly even if it did not achieve U.S. goals, while 57% supported a longer involvement.

The ⁠month-long war has spread across the Middle East, killing thousands of people and has hit the global economy with soaring energy prices, fuelling global inflation fears.

A total of 60% of respondents said they disapproved of U.S. military strikes on ‌Iran, while 35% approved in the survey of 1,021 people.

One of the war's most visible effects in the U.S. has been the rising cost of gasoline, which rose above $4 a gallon on Monday for the first time in more than three years, data from price tracking service GasBuddy ‌showed.

Two in three respondents said they expected gas prices to worsen over the next year, including 40% of Republicans.

Trump's Republicans face voters in November for midterm elections that will ‌decide whether they can hold onto slim majorities in the House and Senate. The incumbent president's party tends to lose seats in Congress in midterm elections.

More than half of respondents thought the conflict will have ‌a mostly negative impact on their personal financial situation, including 39% of Republicans surveyed.
