A student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Ololade Ayelabola, has set a remarkable new milestone in the Guinness World Records by covering the longest distance ever walked by a model.

Her inspiring feat saw her complete a 130.62-kilometer catwalk, surpassing her original goal of 120 kilometers.

Ayelabola’s journey began on October 1st at UNILAG’s indoor sports center, where she set out to achieve the record-breaking walk. Initially aiming for 120 kilometers, she pushed herself further, adding an additional 10 kilometers to her total distance.

Over the course of her challenge, she walked an impressive 2,058 laps within the sports center.

In a post on Instagram, Ayelabola expressed the deeper significance behind her attempt, stating that it was about more than just setting a personal record.

She highlighted her mission to break boundaries for models, particularly those held back by societal expectations and rigid industry standards.

“This walk is not just for me. It’s for every model who has been boxed in by stereotypes,” she shared.

“I also want to showcase the creativity and richness of Nigeria’s fashion industry to the global stage.”

Although Ayelabola’s extraordinary achievement has already drawn widespread attention, it is still awaiting official verification from the Guinness World Records.

If confirmed, she will surpass the previous record held by Roberta Brown and Lorraine McCourt, who walked 114.4 kilometers in Dublin, Ireland, on September 21, 1983.

Her remarkable determination and desire to spotlight Nigerian creativity underscore the broader impact of her accomplishment, demonstrating that it’s possible to redefine the limitations imposed by the fashion world and present a new narrative to the global audience.

Gracie Abrams recently canceled her October 6 concert at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall due to a vocal injury, as per her doctor’s advice. The 25-year-old singer apologized to fans, expressing her deep disappointment, especially knowing many had lined up early or traveled long distances for the sold-out performance. She shared the news on Instagram, stating how devastated she was to cancel the show.

Abrams has been on her *The Secret of Us* tour, which began on September 5 in Portland, Oregon, and will end on October 10 in Portland, Maine. Though she’s scheduled to perform in Philadelphia on October 8, it’s unclear if this injury will affect that show.

Ticket holders for the canceled New York show were reassured that a new date would be announced soon, with all tickets still valid. Abrams also looks forward to rejoining Taylor Swift on the second North American leg of *The Eras Tour* later this year.

Police recently visited Chris Pine’s home in response to a suspected false 9-1-1 call. According to TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department received a report from an anonymous caller claiming to have been sexually assaulted at Pine’s address, but no evidence of a crime was found when officers arrived.

Pine appeared surprised by the police presence and spoke with the officers before they suspected the report was fabricated. When they tried to call the anonymous caller back, he was uncooperative and hung up. Authorities now believe he may not live in California and are investigating further. The caller might face charges for filing a false police report and is linked to three other similar calls. Pine has dealt with false reports in the past, but none led to legal consequences. He previously pleaded guilty to a DUI in New Zealand in 2014, which was later expunged.
