She was in attendance with her fiancé Alex Gilkes and wowed in a see-through outfit.

Sharapova showed off her torso in a bra that was covered in a mesh top.

The Russian carried a white purse and posed for photos with Gilkes on the red carpet.

She also wore a pair of classy black heels and long trousers in a glitzy display.

Sharapova is no stranger to the red carpet these days and often stuns with her glamorous looks.

In autumn last year she was inducted into the tennis Hall of Fame.

She is set to celebrate with a three-day party in Rhode Island, USA, in August.

Plans for various events are in place – including meet and greets, a tennis fashion show, a live concert and even the first Celebrity Pro Classic.

That will see a host of tennis legends team up with celebrities to play in a mixed-doubles tournament on site.

Sharapova and the Bryan brothers will join the other 267 inductees in the Hall of Fame representing 28 countries.

Kim Clijsters, president of the International Hall of Fame, said: “I am honored to welcome Maria Sharapova and Bob and Mike Bryan as the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.

“Beyond each of their historic accomplishments on the court, the Class of 2025 have had such a profound impact on the game of tennis and have inspired multiple generations of fans across the world.

“We look forward to celebrating them in Newport next year.”

Next Gen NYC star Ava Dash evicted from $10k-a-month Manhattan apartment as record exec dad Damon admits he’s ‘broke’

NEXT Gen NYC star, Ava Dash, was evicted from her $ 10,000-a-month Manhattan apartment after her famous record executive dad, Damon Dash, admitted he’s “broke.”

The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal that one of Bravo‘s newest stars, Ava, 25, was first hit with an eviction notice from her stunning apartment in the uber-wealthy Manhattan neighborhood of TriBeCa in July 2024.

In the initial landlord tenant filing, the owner of the property wrote that Ava, along with three other tenants, were in possession of the property, and they had failed to pay four months in rent at $9,995 a month, plus an additional $3,872.90 for a fifth month, all falling from July to March of 2024. 

“Respondent(s) have defaulted in the payment thereof and continue in possession of premises without permission after said default,” the papers read. 

The owner requested the court issue “a warrant to remove respondents from possession of the premises together with the costs and disbursements of this proceeding.”

By October 2024, the landlord was able to obtain a notice of eviction. 

“If you do not vacate the location listed above within 14 days after the date of this notice, you may be evicted without further notice,” the papers stated.

During the first episode of Next Gen NYC, a notice of eviction can be seen on a door, in a brief tease seemingly nodding to a future plotline on the show. 

The names on the eviction notice are blurred out but presumably, the eviction is for Ava’s apartment. 

DAMON’S MONEY PROBLEMS

It appears Ava’s famous father, Damon Dash, didn’t financially bail his daughter out before she was evicted. 

The Roc-A-Fellas Records co-founder admitted in August of last year that he is “broke.”

“I’ve had to start [a] new company from scratch, without any money to start it with […] I’m like a proud broke, but it ain’t broke, because I have things to show for it,” he explained on The CEO Show, according to Vibe.

He recently had to sell his one-third share of Roc-A-Fella to settle a previous lawsuit debt.

According to the New York Post, an anonymous state rep put down $1 million for the one-third share Dash held back in November. 

The report said that state officials planned to flip the shares to help pay off his state tax debt and to help pay off $193,000 he also owes in child support.

Damon’s daughter, whom he had with his ex-wife Rachel Roy, joined the cast of Next Gen NYC, which debuted last week. 

The show chronicles a group of almost entirely 20-something nepo-babies as they navigate life, and their parents’ baggage, while living in the Big Apple. 

The cast includes Ava, Ariana Biermann, Riley Burress, Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, Gia Giudice, Brooks Marks, Georgia McCann, Hudson McLeroy and Charlie Zakkor.

Gutwrenching twist over death of motorsport legend Scott Bloomquist after being killed in plane crash near his home

THERE has been new information regarding the death of motorsports icon Scott Bloomquist.

The Nascar dirt track racing legend died at the age of 60 while flying his vintage plane near his house last August.

On August 16, 2024, authorities announced that Bloomquist died in a plane crash in Tennessee.

The 44-year racing car veteran was the only person on the plane.

Bloomquist flew his 1938 vintage plane from a private airstrip near his Tennessee home.

But on Tuesday, a little less than 10 months later, the plane crash that tragically took the life of Bloomquist has been ruled a suicide.

TMZ Sports revealed that the outlet received a final report from the National Transportation Safety Board that shared Bloomquist appeared to intentionally fly his plane into a barn on his family property in Moorseburg, Tennessee “as an act of suicide.”

The police report revealed that the cause of death was blunt force injuries.

Bloomquist’s representative told TMZ that his family “is not making any public statements regarding the plane crash or the recent NTSB findings.”

The rep added, “They are focused on supporting one another and respectfully request privacy as they navigate this difficult period.”

Bloomquist was the only person on board his vintage single-engine Piper J3 aircraft as he crashed into his family’s barn.

He is survived by his parents, sister, and daughter, Ariel.

Bloomquist won more than 600 races during his over four-decade career.

He was known for his famous No. 0 late models.

Bloomquist won nine national championships, including the 2004 World of Outlaws Late Model series title.

The Late Model race car is a full-bodied vehicle that usually runs on dirt tracks.

He most recently won the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

Bloomquist also competed in the Nascar Craftsman Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series.

He became a member of the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in 2002.

Bloomquist will go down as one of the sport’s prolific greats.

When the snack craving hits, you can now turn to your Cheez-It x Wendy’s Baconator crackers.

The snack brings together the crunch of Cheez-Its with the bacon flavor of Wendy’s.

The limited edition item is hitting store shelves in July for foodies to try.

“With Wendy’s, we found the perfect partner to create something completely unexpected – a snack that brings the craveable flavor of the Baconator to the cracker aisle in a way only Cheez-It can.”

Each bite delivers a 100% real cheese taste, amplified with a bacon taste Wendy’s customers will be familiar with.

You will be able to get the taste of a Wendy’s burger, without ever needing to go to a restaurant.

Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy’s Company, added: “This partnership with Cheez-It brings together two iconic brands for a savory, crunchy snack fans will love.

“We took our famous Baconator – a burger known for its irresistible, beefy, bacon-loaded flavor – and reimagined it with the unmistakable cheesy crunch of Cheez-It.

“The result is a one-of-a-kind bite that gives fans a fresh, new way to enjoy their Wendy’s favorite anytime, anywhere.”

While it is not known exactly how long the item will be sticking around for, it promises to give shoppers a unique tasting experience.

FAN REACTION

In an Instagram post, the caption predicted the snack would drop in the summer, and that’s exactly what is happening.

While another said: “Oh I definitely gotta try them.”

The Bachelorette star and DWTS pro fuelled rumors of a romance when they competed on the show together.

Jenn, 26, and Sasha, 40, would often post loved-up pictures together, that continued long after the show ended.

The pair first sparked romance rumors last September.

At the time, a source lifted the lid on Jenn and Sasha’s relationship

“There’s for sure something really genuine and special brewing between Jenn and Sasha,” an insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun.

However, it wasn’t until Valentine’s Day that the couple officially confirmed their relationship with a loved-up post.

THE BREAK UP

But sadly after 10 months of dating, the couple have decided to split.

The news was revealed after Sasha shared and then deleted a cryptic TikTok.

However, before he took it down, a Reddit user screen-recorded it, and shared it.

In the video, a photo of Sasha was shown as audio about being single played in the background.

“So, this is a picture of me when I was single,” the audio said. “What are you waiting for? I’m still single.”

PAST LOVES

Jenn got engaged to Devin on The Bachelorette, but they called off their engagement two months after filming ended. 

Jenn then famously dated Joey Graziadei during season 28 of the hit show, The Bachelor.

Meanwhile, Sasha was previously married to fellow DWTS pro Emma Slater.

The couple started dating back in 2011, and even got engaged during a live broadcast of DWTS in 2016.

Sasha and Emma then got hitched in 2018 but sadly separated in April 2022. Emma filed for divorce in February 2023 and cited irreconcilable differences.
