• Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs took aim at an unlikely party — Antarctic wildlife.
• The president imposed a 10% tariff on remote Australian territories near Antarctica.
• One affected territory was the Heard and McDonald Islands, inhabited only by penguins and seals.

President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs on Wednesday took aim at unlikely targets — a collection of remote Antarctic territories uninhibited by humans and best known for penguins, seabirds, and glaciers.

At the press conference held at the White House Rose Garden, Trump revealed a large poster as a visual aid for his announcement. The poster displayed tariffs and other "currency manipulation and trade barriers" that countries have supposedly imposed on the US.

The column beside that showed his reciprocal tariffs on those countries, ranging from 10% to 50%.

Among them were the Heard and McDonald Islands, which, notably, are not countries but Australian external territories with no permanent human residents.

According to Trump's poster, the Heard and McDonald Islands had imposed a 10% tariff on the US. The White House confirmed to BI that the islands were hit with reciprocal tariffs because they are Australian territories.

Located in the southern Indian Ocean, the Heard and McDonald Islands span roughly 37,000 hectares — slightly larger than Philadelphia. They are covered in glaciers and volcanic rocks and are home to large populations of rockhopper penguins and their predator, the southern elephant seals.

The islands are located about 2,500 miles southwest of Perth, Australia. The territory is managed by the Australian Antarctic Division, which oversees conservation efforts and climate research.

The islands are also recognized for their natural values and are protected under the World Heritage Convention.

The Christmas Island and Cocos Keeling Islands, which are also Australian external territories, were hit with 10% tariffs. According to the latest available data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Cocos Keeling Islands have a human population of less than 600 people.

Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs hit some countries harder than others. China was hit with a 32% tariff, the European Union with 20%, and India with 26%. Australia, like its external territories, was hit with a 10% tariff.

In response to a request for comment from BI, representatives for the Australian Antarctic Division directed BI to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which did not respond.

But they have to take care of business, as quickly as possible. Have to lock up the 3. Have to start ramping down and then amping back up. It’s the only option.

John Vella, who spent eight seasons in the NFL and won a title with the Raiders, died on Wednesday, the team announced. 

After an offseason in which the Mets spent over a billion dollars, their best player early on might be their $1.5 million ostensible backup catcher.

Craig Conover and Natalie Buffett’s romance might be new to fans, but their connection goes way back.

“Craig and Natalie met years ago and had a fling,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that the hook up ended in 2019, meaning it was after Conover’s split from Naomie Olindo in 2017 and before he dated Natalie Hegnauer in 2020.

The insider says Conover, 36, and Buffett’s first rendezvous was “brief and not good timing.”

The Southern Charm star initially met Buffett, 27, through mutual friends and they “reconnected around the end of last year when they were both traveling in Colorado for New Year’s Eve,” the source shares.

Craig Conover 'Had Plans to Propose' Before Paige DeSorbo Breakup

“Craig wasn’t in a spot to date anyone seriously but loved reconnecting with her,” the insider tells Us, adding that Conover “always believes in signs and things working out if they are meant to be.”

Us previously confirmed that Conover celebrated NYE in Aspen with friends after Paige DeSorbo announced their split in December 2024. The couple dated three years before ending their relationship shortly after Thanksgiving that year.

Buffett — who previously dated NFL quarterback Dak Prescott and MLB pitcher Jack Flaherty — kicked off 2025 with a stay in nearby Vail.

Southern Charm's Craig Conover on Raya Dating App After Paige DeSorbo Split

In March, Conover teased his budding romance with Buffett, telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that he was “very happy” and was dating someone new.

Us confirmed that same month that Conover’s new flame is Buffett, a model and social media influencer.

“They are taking things slow and it’s still pretty new, but Craig is all in,” the source told Us, adding that they had been seeing each other for a few months now and they’ve been spending time together in Charleston and New York City.”

Buffett “travels often,” according to the insider, who shares that the model is from Texas but “spends time” in New York and Florida.

“Craig is smitten and excited about the relationship,” the source continues.

The Sewing Down South founder “loves that Natalie likes being low key with him and they have been having fun together,” the insider adds.

“Everyone around him is happy that he is happy,” the source says, noting that Conover has been in “great spirits after a really rough breakup and his friends are supporting him.”

Craig Conover Hinted at Marrying Paige DeSorbo 2 Months Before Breakup

Prior to reconnecting with Buffett, Conover had several public relationships. He dated his Southern Charm costar Olindo, 32, for nearly three years before breaking up in 2017. He moved on with Hegnauer in 2020, but their romance fizzled out by spring 2021.

Conover and DeSorbo, 32, started dating that same year, going public that September. Their relationship highs and lows were featured on both Southern Charm and Summer House including the most recent seasons, which were filmed prior to their November 2024 split.

While Conover and DeSorbo have publicly traded jabs since their breakup, a source told Us on Tuesday, April 1, that the “Giggly Squad” podcast cohost “isn’t fazed by Craig dating.”

The insider added that DeSorbo “has been open to dating again, but is really focused on work.”

“Guy, you officially broke the internet with this post," one person told the former ER doctor

With an off-day Thursday and knowing he had a nearly full stable of arms who could be used, manager Carlos Mendoza seemed determined to use that full stable.

The teen died suddenly on March 21 while on vacation in Costa Rica after suffering a mysterious illness that affected several members of his family.

A piece of a conversation that likely wasn’t meant to be heard on the air was caught by a hot mic during Wednesday’s Mets-Marlins broadcast.

On Sunday, a mass grave containing the bodies of 15 first responders was unearthed in Gaza. Sky News investigates how their final moments unfolded.

Jinger Duggar gave birth to son Finnegan on Saturday, March 29 — one day before Kylie Kelce had her daughter, Finnley.

Duggar, 31, promises the shared name is just a coincidence.

The Counting On alum shared a reel from Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast’s Instagram channel in which Kelce explained how she settled on the name Finnley, or Finn for short.

“OK I promise Kyle & I didn’t plan this ,” wrote Duggar, who is also shortening Finnegan’s name to Finn.

Jinger Duggar Thinks ‘It’s Possible’ Some of Her Siblings Will Have 19 Kids

Duggar and husband Jeremy Vuolo tied the knot in 2016 and also share daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4.

“He’s Here! ,” Duggar and Vuolo captioned a Sunday, March 30, YouTube video. “Finally…our baby boy has arrived! In today’s vlog, we share the beautiful moment our girls & family met him for the first time. We’re overwhelmed with joy and can’t wait to introduce him to all of you — plus, we finally reveal his name!”

After revealing the name Finnegan Charles, Duggar explained how they settled on the moniker.

“We both just loved that name,” she said. “I think the name Finnegan was one that Jeremy came up with and once he mentioned it, I was like, ‘Oh, I love that name.’ It’s so strong.’”

Kylie Kelce Jokes She Wanted Baby No. 4 Because 'I Like Even Numbers'

The process wasn’t as simple for Kylie, 33, and her husband, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

“It was a journey,” she said on her podcast. “For the first 24 hours of her life she did not have a name. We had discussed names with anyone that we could trust to not share names.”

Ultimately, the couple went with a name they had considered in the past. (Kylie and Jason are also parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 2.)

“The name Finn was not one of the names that we were discussing with other people but came back around because it was a serious contender for Elliotte’s name,” she continued. “Considering we had to name four children with the same gender, we had to run it back to the archives, borrow one from a different child.”

Kylie chronicled the naming process throughout her pregnancy, even taking suggestions from fans. Many suggestions were names with two T’s to fit the pattern established with their first three kids, though Kylie made it clear that was not a requirement.

“I totally respect your opinion on the names of our children,” Kylie added. “You’re allowed to have your own opinion but I actually don’t care what it is. And I mean that in the most loving and respectful way. We named them and it’s official.”

Dolly Parton still stands by her famous saying, “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”

“They called this lady ‘trash’ because she wore too much makeup, big hair, red nails, high heels, short skirts and all of that, but when I was little, that impressed me,” Parton, 79, said in an interview with WWD published on Wednesday, April 1, while chatting about her collab with Khloé Kardashian’s co-founded brand, Good American.

Parton continued, “I want to look cheap. That’s my look. I want to look a little bit, you know, trashy.” The Country music legend went on to explain that she doesn’t mean “trashy” in a bad way, but more of an “artificial look.”

“I like the overdone,” she said. “I like the bleached hair. I do have some really beautiful clothes, but you would never know how much they cost because the expensive ones look the same on me as the cheap ones for the most part.”

Dolly Parton's Grandfather 'Whipped' Her Over Wardrobe Choices

When it comes to her Good American collection, Parton is offering bedazzled high-waisted pants and matching vests, bootcut jeans, gingham tops and more.

“I hope [people] will feel they look good, and it’ll give them a little confidence and a little flair, and just feeling like ‘I’ve got a little bit of country flavor going on here,” she gushed about her line. “Got a little Dolly in there.”

Parton is sure to be rocking her favorite denim items at home, too. “I’ll wear very comfortable clothes [everyday],” she said, noting she “usually” does her hair and makeup, even when she’s lounging at her house.

“I’m going to put on pullover shirts and a pair of jeans, and if I think somebody’s coming, then I can put on a pair of earrings or a little string silver necklace.” And we’re willing to wager her jewelry collection is anything but artificial.

On April 1, veteran actor Val Kilmer passed away at the age of 65 from pneumonia. The actor had also been battling throat cancer since 2015.

Kilmer had a storied career in Hollywood that dates back four decades and includes unforgettable roles in Top Gun, Heat, Tombstone and The Doors. Perhaps most memorably, Kilmer became the Dark Knight in 1995‘s Batman Forever before George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson assumed the role.

Those are the films that are most often associated with Kilmer, but far from the full extent of his greatest roles.

To celebrate Kilmer’s life and the legacy that he leaves behind, watch these four great movies starring the late actor.

‘Top Gun’ and 'Batman Forever' Star Val Kilmer Dead at 65

‘The Saint’ (1997)

The Saint’s main character, Simon Templar, predates James Bond by decades, and the ‘60s TV series of the same name featured future 007 actor Roger Moore in the role. In the 1997 film, Kilmer portrayed Templar as a world-class thief rather than a champion of the helpless that the character was known for.

Fortunately, the film works on its own terms and it has a charismatic turn by Kilmer, who initially seduces Dr. Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue) to steal her revolutionary energy research. But when Templar genuinely develops feelings for Emma, he becomes her only hope of saving her research and staying ahead of the men who want both of them dead.

The Saint is streaming on Paramount+.

‘The Salton Sea’ (2002)

Much like The Saint, The Salton Sea gave Kilmer a chance to portray multiple personas through a single character. Danny Parker (Kilmer) is not the real name of the protagonist, but the details about his life are slowly revealed throughout this intense thriller.

Michelle Pfeiffer Honors Val Kilmer in Sweet Tribute After His Death

Danny is apparently working with a pair of cops, Gus Morgan (Doug Hutchison) and Al Garcetti (Anthony LaPaglia), to take down a drug lord, Holland Dale “Pooh-Bear” Monty (Vincent D’Onofrio). However, Danny’s true agenda runs even deeper, and he’s got a serious grudge against everyone in this sting operation. Somebody’s going down hard, the only question is whether Danny’s efforts will cost him his life in the process.

The Salton Sea is available to rent on Prime Video.

‘Top Secret!’ (1984)

Top Secret! was Kilmer’s breakout role and a chance for him to flex his singing and dancing talents as Nick Rivers. Airplane! and The Naked Gun trilogy directors Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker helmed this hilarious action parody that features Kilmer’s character moonlighting as both a spy and a rock star.

Rivers is sent to East Germany to thwart a plan to reunite the country under a new military dictatorship. That description makes the movie sound a lot more serious than it actually is, but Top Secret! is more of a combination of a cheesy Elvis Presley movie and a James Bond spoof with some potty humor thrown in for good measure. It’s tons of fun.

Top Secret! is streaming on Pluto TV.

Everything Val Kilmer Said About His Throat Cancer Battle

‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ (2005)

One of Kilmer’s last great movies was also a comeback vehicle for Robert Downey Jr. three years before he headlined Iron Man. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang featured Downey as Harry Lockhart, a thief who accidentally finds himself cast in a movie as a private investigator.

To help Harry get into character, the studio pays a real PI, “Gay” Perry van Shrike (Kilmer), to show him the ropes and how he operates. Through Perry, Harry finds himself entangled in a real missing persons case brought to them by Harmony Faith Lane (Michelle Monaghan). Director and screenwriter Shane Black masterfully blends comedy and mystery, making the film a modern classic and paving the way for similar movies like The Nice Guys.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is available to rent on Prime Video.

Irina Shayk just wore the edgy-chic bag that most of Us aspire to have. It’s the ultimate rich mom accessory — and we found a similar version that’s just $45 on Amazon.

The supermodel was spotted in New York City on April 1, walking her dog while wearing a black monochromatic outfit. Channeling her usual futuristic-meets-edgy aesthetic, the 39-year-old layered an elaborate fur coat over a hoodie and leather pants, then topped things off with oversized sunglasses, pink sneakers and what we assume is a rare crocodile Hèrmes bag. Even Shayk’s pup was stylish, trotting beside her on a Louis Vuitton leash.

While pricey Hèrmes accessories are certainly attainable for a supermodel, they admittedly aren’t for the rest of Us. Luckily, we’re still able to take inspiration from Shayk’s style with this $45 lookalike that channels the same luxe vibes.

Get the Dasein Top Handle Satchel Tote Shoulder Bag for just $45 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

Love Michelle Williams' Chic Chanel Bag? Get the Look for $22!

The Dasein Top Handle Satchel Tote Shoulder Bag will no doubt elevate your bag collection, bringing designer vibes without the price. While it’s no Hèrmes purse, the large top-handle pick still comes in a black crocodile print. The faux leather material doesn’t just make it more affordable (and eco-friendly), it also ensures that it’s durable as well.

While the bag features gold hardware throughout, one thing it has that Shayk’s designer version doesn’t is an additional crossbody strap that makes it much easier to carry. The $45 alternative also comes with a matching mini clutch that can hold things like money or makeup. Inside, you’ll find multiple pockets to help keep your essentials organized. It’s big enough to hold a tablet, book, an umbrella and more.

Plus, Hèrmes bags famously have long waitlists, while this pick comes with pages of rave reviews. In fact, the Dasein Top Handle Satchel Tote Shoulder Bag has now garnered over 2,500 five-star ratings to date.

One shopper called it “well constructed and beautiful,” noting that it “looks like it’s one of those expensive designer bags.” Another person agreed, adding that it’s “gorgeous” and “luxury at a very affordable price.”

Whether you want to use the bag as a work tote or an everyday option, simply carrying it around will add a touch of class to your outfit. It’s great for pairing with elevated blazers and trousers for fancy work parties, but it can also go with leggings and a sweater for Target runs.

Paris Hilton knows a thing or two about throwing a party — but her mom, Kathy Hilton, has always been her blueprint.

“My mom would always throw me these elaborate birthday parties,” the “Stars Are Blind” singer, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly. “She would cook so many different types of pasta and have a Barbie on top of the cake that looked like me, it was so cute. She is the queen of tablescapes and making things feel really special and added lots of candles, pink and glitter!”

The House of Wax star gets it from her mama when it comes to throwing a party and recently shared her tips and tricks with Us.

“I love hosting nights in or having friends over while we’re getting ready to go out,” she said. “I like to use all the pink glasses from my collection and I love to add edible glitter and cute drink stirrers just to make things feel a little more special.”

Kathy Hilton Has Daughter Paris to Thank for ‘Professional’ Spray Tan

The “Turn It Up” singer has been serving drinks made with the Absolut x Paris Hilton Cosmo Collection cocktail kits she produced in partnership with ReserveBar app. “I love it because it is so easy,” she added “It’s all premixed — you shake it, decorate it and you’re ready for a cute and fun night.”

Paris is also looking forward to bringing her party skills to Coachella again this year, telling Us, “I love having a sliving cosmo at the Absolut House of Cosmo. I’ve been sliving with them for a while now, and it’s so fun to have all my friends out there. We have all these cute activations and photo moments, it’s going to be so cute.”

For fans looking to make their parties a little more like a Hilton soiree, the business mogul suggests glitter — and pasta.

“I love to make my parties [have] very paradise vibes, and that paradise does have a lot of pink and sparkles,” Paris told Us. “I always like to make my sliving lasagna when friends come over. It really is the best version of lasagna I’ve ever had and it looks really impressive when people sit around the table.”

For a sweet treat after dinner, the Simple Life alum shared an unconventional treat she likes to make for herself. “Whenever I’m craving dessert, my favorite thing to do is microwave a bowl of M&Ms,” Paris shared. “I just wait until they’re all melted and I just eat them with a spoon, and it’s just so delicious.”

Meghan Markle is reminding her critics that she’s come a long way from where she started.

“Don’t they know my life hasn’t always been like this?” the Duchess of Sussex, 43, said while referring to her Montecito home in an interview with the New York Times published on Wednesday, April 2.

Before tying the knot with Prince Harry in 2018 and becoming a household name, Meghan grew up in Los Angeles and was raised by her mother, Doria Ragland. Despite Ragland, now 68, working long hours, Meghan grew up with her family’s meal traditions being passed on to her — including her grandfather’s love of spice.

“My father carried a bottle of Red Rooster hot sauce everywhere he went,” Ragland told the outlet.

We've Already Watched Meghan Markle's Netflix Show: Everything We Learned

Meghan came from humble beginnings, managing to work her way up while pursuing an acting career. While in her early 20s, the Duchess of Sussex attempted to create a cozy life for herself with what she could scrape up on her limited budget.

“At 20, in a tiny little apartment in Evanston, serving that sandwich and a bottle of Two-Buck Chuck — that was when Trader Joe’s was getting big — we all thought it was so fancy,” she told the outlet.

Meghan went on to find success with her lifestyle blog The Tig and as an actress, eventually starring in Suits as Rachel Zane. During her time on the beloved drama, she fell in love with the Duke of Sussex. Meghan retired from acting after she and Harry, 40, wed in 2018 and became a member of the royal family. Two years later, Meghan and Harry stepped down from their positions as senior working royals and moved to Montecito, California, where they remain as a family with their two children: Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

Since the relocation, Meghan has taken on a variety of roles, including starring in her and Harry’s Netflix documentary and working on her “Archetypes” podcast venture. Now Meghan has entered the lifestyle sphere as well, with her show With Love, Meghan debuting on Netflix last month. She also launched her brand As Ever, which includes a variety of goods from teas to jams.

While Meghan has been warmly welcomed to the wellness world by other leaders like Gwyneth Paltrow, the duchess has received plenty of pushback online.

“There are professionals who do that better than I ever will,” Meghan told the outlet on Wednesday of her time in front of the camera showcasing her favorite recipes and hostessing techniques.

Why Meghan Markle’s 'With Love, Meghan' Wasn’t Filmed at Her Real House

Meghan isn’t sweating the online critics, though, as she maintains her focus on integrating her professional and family life.

“I need to work, and I love to work,” she said, noting that she has had a job since she was 13. “This is a way to connect my home life and my work.”

Despite what critics have said, Meghan has found success. Her Netflix series was already renewed for a second season and her As Ever product line sold out immediately after launching on Wednesday.
