Melissa Joan Hart has jumped aboard the Teenage Dirtbag trend currently sweeping TikTok.
The 46-year-old actress proved she can keep up with the rest of them this week, posting a fun collage-formatted video that included some bikini action.
Melissa’s video, which has now clocked over 3 million views, came with her admitting that she didn’t quite get it right “the first time,” but it looks like she nailed it.
The blonde opened in selfie mode and from a greenery-filled backyard as she filmed herself in a dark strappy top. “Teenage dirtbag? Yes or no” appeared in text.
Fans then saw the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star in a series of throwbacks, not limited to her in a skimpy black look during a night out, plus on the beach and sticking out her tongue while in a bikini top.

They're safe! Fans were extremely worried about former reality stars Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman and his wife Beth Chapman after reports about the Kilauea volcano eruption in Hawaii, which is where Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth live. But his wife took to Instagram on Saturday, May 5 to let everyone know that where she and Dog live is actually very far from the volcano, so that means that they are safe.

Dog the Bounty Hunter fans know Lyssa Chapman as “Baby Lyssa,” the petite and beautiful blond daughter of Duane Dog Chapman, stepdaughter of Beth Chapman and half sister to the show’s other stars, Leland and Duane Lee Chapman — though the family famously refuses to use terms like “step” and “half” to describe their bonds. Arriving on Dog and Beth’s doorstep — and thus, on A&E cameras — as a troubled teen with her toddler daughter Abbie in tow, Lyssa eventually evolved into a key member of the bounty-hunting team and developed a broad fan base of smitten men and [...]

Last night "Dog The Bounty Hunter" (Wed., 10 p.m. Est on A&E) Duane Chapman and his team were in Hawaii on the trail of a fugitive who was known to be a fast runner.
They enlisted the help of mixed martial arts fighter Kaleo Padilla to help them catch the speedy suspect. After Leland Chapman spotted him outside a local mall, Kaleo took off in hot pursuit.
The pair raced across the mall parking lot with the bounty hunters (and a no-doubt breathless production crew) following. Super-fast Kaleo caught up with the guy and tackled him just inside of the shopping mall doors.
Job done, the suspect was successfully handed over to local law enforcement officers and Lyssa Chapman summed up the operation: "Thank god for Leland's eyes. Thank god for Kaleo's feet."
Keep up with the action on new episodes of "Dog The Bounty Hunter," Wednesday nights at 10 p.
