Rob Lowe Reveals the Dastardly Star Who Beat Him to Iconic 80s and 90s Movie Roles

/

Rob Lowe has named the major star who kept landing roles that caught his attention during the ’80s and ’90s.

Speaking to The Post, the Brat Pack actor pointed directly to Tom Cruise as the formidable figure who repeatedly surfaced when Lowe was reading promising scripts.

Lowe, 62, described Cruise in playfully dramatic terms while looking back at the parts that got away. “That dastardly Tom Cruise was always a nemesis.”

One of those memories involved “Jerry Maguire,” a movie Lowe recalled reading before Cruise ultimately took the central role.

“I remember reading ‘Jerry Maguire’ . . . and they were like, ‘Tom Cruise.’”

Lowe had a similar experience with “Top Gun,” which immediately struck him as a movie destined to become massive.

Once again, the response he received was that Cruise would be the star attached to the project.

The actor also cleared up a separate rumor involving the lead role in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” which ultimately went to Matthew Broderick.

Lowe said he was not actually under consideration for the 1986 comedy, though he wishes that had been different.

When asked about the missed opportunity, Lowe answered, “No, that’s a big regret,” before explaining that director John Hughes never showed interest in casting him.

“John Hughes never got what I was selling,” Lowe said of the late filmmaker.

Hughes was behind ’80s classics including “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles,” both of which featured roles Lowe believed he could have played.

Lowe said he met with Hughes once, but the filmmaker never called him about any of the available parts.

Looking back, Lowe believes his existing level of fame might explain why Hughes did not consider him.

“I have a theory about it; I think I was actually already too well known,” he said.

His explanation centered on Hughes choosing performers who had not yet become widely known and then turning them into recognizable stars.

Lowe admitted that this is at least what he tells himself to feel better about never receiving a role in “The Breakfast Club.”

Lowe had already secured his breakthrough role at 18 in 1983’s “The Outsiders.”

He later starred in movies including “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “Youngblood” and “About Last Night,” building a film career while some of the other coveted roles went elsewhere.

His latest movie, “The Musical,” is out Sept. 18 and places him in a school setting.

Lowe plays a middle school principal who begins a budding romance with a teacher, creating a situation that sends another instructor spiraling out of control.

That instructor had previously dated the teacher before Lowe’s principal became romantically involved with her.

The developing relationship therefore becomes the catalyst for the instructor’s increasingly uncontrolled response in the movie.

Lowe also reflected on his own school experience after his family moved from Dayton, Ohio, to Malibu, Calif.

He said he became “an outcast” when he transferred to Lincoln Junior High School and found himself surrounded by students with very different priorities.

“I was surrounded by kids who showed up an hour late with sand in their hair because they’d been out surfing,” Lowe said.

His approach to school made him stand out even more among his new classmates.

Lowe said the other students looked down on him because he sat in the front row and regularly raised his hand.

“So, I was an outcast because I had the audacity to be at school to learn.”

Blue Lives Matter Boots Jelly Roll from Fundraiser After Woke Turn and Trump Bashing [WATCH]

Blue Lives Matter Boots Jelly Roll from Fundraiser After Woke Turn and Trump Bashing [WATCH]

/

Jelly Roll is out of a Blue Lives Matter fundraiser after the organization withdrew its invitation following what the original headline described as his recent woke turn and Trump bashing. The reversal leaves no ambiguity about his place in the planned event.

Blue Lives Matter initially invited Jelly Roll to appear at the fundraiser.

That plan has now been scrapped, with the organization publicly sharing an update about the withdrawn invitation and the person selected to take his place.

The organization said it has invited Coffey Anderson to fill the slot that had been intended for Jelly Roll.

The update therefore did more than announce a cancellation, since it also identified the replacement chosen for the event.

The move represents a sharp change from the original arrangement.

Jelly Roll went from being invited to participate in the fundraiser to being removed from the lineup, while Anderson received an invitation to step into the newly available position.

According to the original headline, the withdrawal came after Jelly Roll took a recent woke turn and engaged in Trump bashing.

WATCH:

Those descriptions framed the decision as a response to his recent direction rather than a routine adjustment to the fundraiser.

Blue Lives Matter did not simply withdraw Jelly Roll’s invitation without making another selection.

Instead, the organization turned to Anderson and invited him to assume the same slot, completing the switch announced in its update.

The sequence is straightforward.

Jelly Roll had an invitation, Blue Lives Matter withdrew it, and Anderson was subsequently invited to replace him at the fundraiser.

That update puts Anderson directly into the spot once held by Jelly Roll.

It also makes the change especially pointed, because the organization named the replacement while announcing that the previous invitation was no longer standing.

The fundraiser remains at the center of the dispute.

Jelly Roll’s expected participation ended after the organization reversed course, while Anderson became the new invitee chosen to fill the opening created by that decision.

The original headline presented the episode in openly critical terms, highlighting Jelly Roll’s recent woke turn and Trump bashing.

Blue Lives Matter’s action matched that framing by removing him from the fundraiser and moving forward with someone else.

No gradual transition was described in the update.

The organization said the invitation had been withdrawn and that Anderson had instead been invited to fill Jelly Roll’s slot.

The word instead is central to the announced change.

Anderson was not presented as an additional participant in the update, but as the person invited after Jelly Roll lost his place at the fundraiser.

For Jelly Roll, the result is clear: his invitation no longer stands.

For Anderson, the update brings a new invitation and the opportunity to occupy the slot that Blue Lives Matter had previously reserved for Jelly Roll.

The decision also turns the fundraiser lineup into a direct before and after story.

Jelly Roll was the original invitee, but Blue Lives Matter reversed that plan and selected Anderson once the invitation was withdrawn.

The organization’s update focused on both parts of the switch.

It acknowledged that Jelly Roll was no longer invited and immediately identified Anderson as the person asked to fill the vacated position.

That pairing gives the announcement its sting.

Blue Lives Matter did not merely distance itself from Jelly Roll after the recent woke turn and Trump bashing described in the headline, but also moved to replace him with another invited participant.

Anderson now holds the invitation connected to the slot Jelly Roll had been expected to fill.

The organization’s decision closes the door on the original arrangement and establishes the replacement plan announced in its update.

The fundraiser will therefore proceed without Jelly Roll in the role for which he had been invited.

Blue Lives Matter has made its alternative known, choosing Anderson to take over the slot after withdrawing Jelly Roll’s invitation.

‘Pissed Off’ Mr. T Rips Netflix Documentary as ‘Garbage’

‘Pissed Off’ Mr. T Rips Netflix Documentary as ‘Garbage’

/

Mr. T unleashed his anger at Netflix’s documentary about his life, calling the film “garbage” and arguing that it failed to properly capture his rise to fame and later retreat from the public eye.

The former pro wrestler addressed “Untold Mr. T: I Pity the Fool” in an interview with the Guardian.

“The documentary pissed me off, because they didn’t cover a lot of stuff,” he said of the film, which streams Sept. 8.

Mr. T added, “When I saw it, I was like: ‘What the heck?’ It’s garbage.”

The actor also accused the documentary of building him up before diminishing him.

“You build me up, then you try to punk me out,” he said, later recalling that his reaction was, “Wow man, I’m more than that .”

Mr. T was born Laurence Tureaud before legally changing his name.

He argued that important parts of his life received little attention, saying, “Two days they interviewed my pastor, and he gets 30 seconds [on screen].”

His criticism became even sharper as he discussed the documentary’s approach to his story.

“That’s what we call, in the black community, a white man wanting to change the story and control the narrative,” he said.

Mr. T continued by warning that the film could leave viewers with a distorted impression of him.

“If you don’t know me, you’re gonna think I’m some monster,” the 74-year-old actor said.

He also objected to the inclusion of unflattering remarks from his former agent, Peter Young, concerning the 1993 movie “Freaked.”

Mr. T argued that the documentary presented those comments while leaving out his positive qualities.

According to Mr. T, he asked director Scott Weintrob to see footage from the documentary but was denied access.

The Guardian described the film as suggesting that his “descent” from fame was “fuelled by poor decisions and bad behavior.”

“We started filming last year at Easter. I didn’t see the finished product until a month ago,” Mr. T claimed.

“I didn’t see nothing on film. So now I see it, I say: ‘God dammmmmmmmnmn, ain’t this something.’ We told them, ‘Don’t put Peter in my doc’, but he did.”

The former celebrity bodyguard said he struggled to control his reaction after finally seeing the film.

He recalled telling himself, “‘Lord, don’t let me go off. Don’t let me go off.’ ’Cos I wanted to go off on Netflix.”

Mr. T ultimately decided not to act on that anger. “And I thought: ‘If I go off in here, it’s not going to be pretty.’ I said: ‘Take the high road.’ So I took the high road,” he said.

He also pushed back against an allegation in the film that he would attend events only if he was sent a white limousine.

“What’s wrong with white limousines?” he asked, before questioning whether he should “have a choice of color.”

“That makes me a bad guy? Let’s get real here,” Mr. T said.

“I wear white T-shirts sometimes; does that make me a bad person? I wear white socks. So what’s the beef about that?”

He then invoked Elvis Presley while defending the request.

“When Elvis Presley died he had a white limousine, so why can’t I have one while I’m living?” Mr. T asked.

“But Mr. T’s a bad guy,” he continued.

“We don’t care about him feeding the homeless, but, you know, ‘He wanted a white limousine, he wanted a certain kind of soap in his hotel room. Wow, he’s a bad guy.’”

Young responded to the Guardian’s request for comment with a brief message.

“Please give Mr. T my best, and let him know I forgive him,” the former agent said.

Representatives for Netflix and Weintrob did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment on Saturday evening.

Netflix allegedly told the Guardian that Mr. T had approved of the documentary before the interview.

Despite his frustration, the “Rocky III” actor said he had already accomplished what mattered most to him.

“All I wanted to do was buy my mother a beautiful house and pretty dresses,” he explained.

“I done that in the ’80s, so the game was over. It was done. I was already walking away,” Mr. T said.

He also recalled his mother telling him, “Son, there are some things that money just can’t buy.”

Mr. T insisted that wealth was never his driving force.

“How many people have sold their soul to the devil, chasing money? I’m not chasing the dollar. I never did,” he said.

“Untold Mr. T: I Pity the Fool” streams Sept. 8 on Netflix.

Spencer Pratt Torches George Clooney’s Woke Lecture as Amal Flaunts Lavish Venice Look

Spencer Pratt Torches George Clooney’s Woke Lecture as Amal Flaunts Lavish Venice Look

/

Spencer Pratt unloaded on George Clooney after the Hollywood star criticized the people running the United States government.

Pratt suggested Clooney should spare Americans the political sermon while he and his wife, Amal Clooney, enjoy the trappings of immense wealth.

The former reality television personality entered politics this year with a Republican campaign for mayor of Los Angeles.

Although Pratt conceded the race in June, he has continued speaking about politics and the wealthy celebrities who regularly lecture ordinary Americans.

Pratt turned his attention to Clooney on Friday in a pointed social media post.

He cited the actor’s estimated $500 million fortune and argued that the money spent on Amal’s extravagant Venice appearance could have permanently housed eight homeless people.

“I will never tolerate a woke scold lecture from these people. Just be an ostentatious celebrity and own it.”

That blunt assessment captured the glaring contradiction Pratt was targeting.

Hollywood elites seem perfectly comfortable condemning wealth, fear, inequality, and political leadership, provided nobody asks too many questions about their private jets, designer wardrobes, luxury properties, or sparkling jewelry.

Amal reportedly wore a custom creation from Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford, along with expensive Cartier jewelry that ensured the red carpet spectacle came with an eye popping price tag.

The earrings reportedly cost $149,000, while the Cartier diamond bracelet was valued at $225,000.

That brings the jewelry alone to roughly $374,000, before accounting for the custom gown, travel, accommodations, security, styling, and the rest of the celebrity machinery.

George and Amal Clooney have appeared together several times during the festival, where cameras captured their glamorous arrivals and red carpet walks.

George Clooney also received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement during the festival’s opening night ceremony.

The actor used his acceptance speech to address politics and public fear, rather than simply thanking the people who helped build his career.

Apparently, even a lifetime achievement honor in Venice must become another opportunity for Hollywood’s political class to instruct the rest of the country.

“We’re living through a moment in time where people in charge, the people with the most money, are telling us to fear one another,” Clooney said during his speech, according to People.

Clooney argued that journalists and artists are among the first targets of authoritarian governments.

He also portrayed filmmakers, actors, musicians, and writers as defenders of empathy, a familiar Hollywood theme that conveniently casts entertainers as courageous guardians of society.

“Stories are always dangerous to people who peddle in fear. The people who are afraid of books and music and stories are never the heroes in history.”

WATCH:

Clooney acknowledged that movies do not stop wars, reduce inflation, or repair elections.

That admission may have been the most practical portion of the speech, since American families wrestling with grocery bills are unlikely to find much relief in another celebrity monologue delivered beside a Venetian canal.

Before the ceremony, Clooney also discussed American politics during a news conference.

“I’m always very optimistic about things,” he said, before comparing the current political climate with earlier periods of violence and national upheaval.

He referenced 1968, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, widespread unrest, and tanks surrounding the Capitol.

Clooney then described the current government as a kakistocracy, meaning a nation controlled by the least qualified people, and expressed hope that coming elections would restore normalcy.

Pratt’s criticism focused less on Clooney’s right to speak and more on the obvious hypocrisy surrounding the lecture.

If celebrities want to parade through Venice wearing jewelry worth more than many American homes, they can do so, but the moral scolding may land with all the grace of a Cartier brick.

Fox News Digital contacted Clooney for a response to Pratt’s criticism.

Asked about the actor’s attack on the current administration, a White House spokesperson offered a concise dismissal that cut through the celebrity pageantry: “Nobody cares.”

Brooke Shields Makes a Stunning Splash in Black Swimsuit During Action Packed Croatia Trip

Brooke Shields is looking back on an adventurous summer getaway to Croatia, sharing photos and video from a trip with longtime friends that included actress and comedian Chelsea Handler, as reported by Fox News.

Shields, 61, described the vacation as the “highlight of the summer” in an Instagram post featuring scenes from the trip, including time spent by waterfalls, on the water, and exploring the streets of Croatia.

The actress and model opened her Instagram carousel with a photo of herself sitting beside a rushing waterfall. Shields wore a black strapless one-piece swimsuit and gold jewelry as she sat on a moss-covered rock near the water.

“Highlight of the summer: the most amazing trip to Croatia with the best people ️,” Shields captioned the post.

Another photo showed Shields relaxing on a wooden swim platform attached to a boat alongside Handler and another friend.

Shields wore the same black swimsuit, while Handler, 51, wore a turquoise swimsuit. A third woman was pictured in the water wearing a red bikini top and patterned bottoms.

The longtime friends appeared to make the most of their time together during the vacation.

Shields and Handler have known each other for years and have previously appeared on each other’s podcasts, where they have discussed their lives and relationships.

The trip also included sightseeing away from the water. Shields shared a photo of herself and Handler walking through a busy Croatian street.

Shields wore a bright yellow dress with a wide-brimmed straw hat, layered necklaces and a brown belt. Handler wore a white button-down shirt, patterned skirt, navy baseball cap and dark sunglasses.

Shields also showed off the more adventurous side of the trip in a video included in the Instagram carousel. In the clip, she jumped from the edge of a waterfall into the water below while wearing her black one-piece swimsuit.

Fans responded to the vacation photos with compliments about Shields and the Croatian scenery.

“Croatia is beautiful ,” one person wrote.

“Brooke Shields The most beautiful in the world ,” another commenter wrote.

“What a fun trip! ❤️,” another fan added.

One commenter joked about Shields’ waterfall excursion, writing, “So that’s the fountain of youth you’ve been using!”

The vacation comes after Shields spoke in July 2026 with Oprah Winfrey about growing up in the public eye and the work she has done to maintain a sense of normalcy.

During the conversation for Oprah Daily, Shields discussed beginning her modeling career as a baby and the challenges that came with spending most of her life in the entertainment industry.

“You either become a victim to it, and you resent it, and then you get angry, and you get bitter,” Shields said, “or you say, ‘OK, how can I not be devoured by this? How can I surround myself with people who are grounded?’”

Shields said staying grounded became particularly important after she became a mother to daughters Rowan and Grier with her husband, Chris Henchy.

“How can I stay as grounded as possible to be the kind of mom for my daughters that it would very easily be derailed in this industry?” she told Winfrey.

Shields also discussed her complicated relationship with her late mother, Teri, who raised her as a single mother and managed her career while she was growing up. Shields said the two became deeply intertwined, leaving little room for her to establish an independent identity.

“There was so much love, but then you couple that with the industry that we were in,” Shields said. “She protected me fiercely.”

The actress said years of therapy and personal work have helped her separate her own voice from the influence of her mother and longtime manager.

“Luckily, I hear — I’ve worked so hard on myself — to hear my own voice in my head first,” Shields said. “And that’s years of working on it and therapy and thinking about it and making myself sort of freer from this.”

For now, Shields’ Croatia getaway offered a chance to step away from the spotlight and spend time with friends while taking in the country’s waterfalls, coastline and streets.

Clooney Warns Against “People Who Peddle Fear” While Hollywood Sells Panic Nonstop [WATCH]

/

Actor George Clooney used his appearance at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday to warn about political divisions and fear.

His remarks came while he was accepting the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.

The speech did not identify any specific public figures.

Instead, Clooney reflected on his lengthy career before turning his attention to the divisions of the current moment.

He presented storytelling as a force that can challenge those who rely on fear. Clooney also emphasized the ability of films and other forms of art to encourage empathy.

“Stories are always dangerous to people who peddle in fear,” he said.

Clooney then described a moment in which influential people are encouraging division.

He connected that warning to lessons from history.

“We’re living through a moment in time where the people in charge and people with the most money are telling us to fear one another,” the ER star said.

“But we know better than that, don’t we? Because history does teach us a lesson.”

Clooney argued that journalists and artists are among the first people targeted by authoritarians. He included filmmakers, writers, actors and musicians in that warning.

“The first people that authoritarians try to shut down are not politicians. They’re journalists who ask questions, they’re the artists who refuse simple answers, the filmmakers, writers, actors and musicians who insist that someone you never met is deserving of your empathy,” he added.

At the same time, Clooney acknowledged that movies cannot directly resolve wars or political and economic problems.

He nevertheless said they can achieve something important by changing how audiences see strangers.

“Stories are always dangerous to people who peddle in fear,” he said.

“The people who are afraid of books and music and stories are never the heroes in history.”

“So yes, movies don’t stop wars, they don’t lower inflation, they don’t fix elections. But they do do something remarkable.”

“They remind us that a stranger is never stranger, and that he might just be the hero in somebody else’s story. And if we can still sit together in the dark and care about people we’ve never met, I think we’ll be okay,” he added.

WATCH:

Prior to delivering the speech, Clooney held a press conference where he defended actor Mark Ruffalo.

Ruffalo had faced accusations of antisemitism after speaking about Paramount’s David and Larry Ellison.

Ruffalo said the Ellisons are “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”

Clooney responded by defending Ruffalo’s ability to express his views freely.

“I support Mark Ruffalo’s ability to speak freely,” Clooney said.

“I don’t see how the merger financially ends up making sense for the people who are trying to do it. We’ll see.”

Clooney also offered an assessment of the current government during the press conference.

He then pointed to elections in November and 2028 while discussing what he believes could happen next.

“I think maybe we have a kakistocracy right now, but we’ll get through it,” he added.

“We will have an election in November that should be a check and balance. And then in 2028, we will have a restoration of some normalcy.”

Across both appearances, Clooney focused on political divisions, free expression, and the role of storytelling.

His Venice speech ultimately centered on the idea that empathy for people audiences have never met can push back against fear.

Influencers Force U.S. Open Umpire to Halt Match in Humiliating Scene as Fans Fume [WATCH]

Influencers Force U.S. Open Umpire to Halt Match in Humiliating Scene as Fans Fume [WATCH]

Influencers have become nearly as much a part of the U.S. Open experience as the $23 Honey Deuce.

But their growing presence stirred fresh anger Monday when chair umpire Kader Nouni had to admonish a group in a suite during Naomi Osaka’s match against Anastasia Zakharova at Arthur Ashe Stadium, as reported by the New York Post.

A viral video from the incident showed one woman using a bright ring light to capture content while the match was underway.

@katticuspfinch Tennis etiquette is that you don’t even GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A POINT but now at @US Open apparently it’s ring lights and photo shoots everywhere in the MIDDLE OF A POINT. Listen, I love bringing new people to the open and I’m all for getting more people into tennis because it’s such a fun sport to watch but if you’re going to disrespect the players, you shouldn’t come to the match. And I LOVE content creators bringing tennis to everyone on social media but if you’re not going to be respectful of the game being played thats NOT OKAY. Yyou can see ring lights from all over the stadium and the umpire and players made it very clear that it’s a HUGE DISTRACTION and it’s now impacting the players ability to play the game we are all here to see. And apparently the us open and USTA are just fine with it because their staff is helping it happen. @influencersinthewild @Tennis Channel #nyccontentcreator #naomiosaka #usopen #tennistiktok #usopentennis ♬ original sound – There I Ruined It

In another post, a group of influencers inside a luxury suite could be seen recording a video as a fan sitting below them looked on with dismay.

The scenes quickly attracted attention as part of the wider discussion surrounding the annual tournament in Flushing Meadows.

Much of that debate has focused on the increasing attention placed on experiences beyond the competition involving the world’s best tennis players.

The USTA addressed the incidents in a statement provided to The Post. Spokesperson Brendan McIntyre described such interruptions as occurrences that happen “infrequently.”

“We want our fans and guests to have an incredible time when they attend the US Open, but we also need to ensure that does not interfere with the action and competition on the court,” McIntyre said.

“These instances happen infrequently, and similar to when crowd noise reaches a certain level, our chair umpires have the ability to address the crowd when they occur.”

The organization has also embraced the social media audience brought to the tournament by influencers and content creators. That outreach has included formally credentialing creators as members of the media.

In 2025, the USTA issued 54 media credentials to content creators, marking the first time the Grand Slam tournament had done so.

This year, the total reached “close to 100,” USTA director of media operations Jeanmarie Daly told Front Office Sports.

Some of the players competing at the tournament have appeared to welcome that growing presence.

American star Jessica Pegula said she can “appreciate” influencers visiting the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and “showcasing the U.S. Open experience.”

Pegula made those comments after defeating Sofia Kenin in the second round Wednesday. At the same time, the scenes from earlier in the week appeared to leave her questioning whether the attention had gone too far.

“I do think that it’s tough when you see videos like that when they’re taking pictures and using the selfie lights,” Pegula said. “People are down there trying to perform, and it’s their career and their job.”

“It seems like a bit disrespectful. I think it’s gotten a little maybe too much, it feels like, this year.”

“I don’t know,” Pegula continued. Her comments reflected the tension between appreciating the attention influencers bring and dealing with conduct that affects players during competition.

“I think, again, I can appreciate one side of it, but I think when you have the other side literally interrupting matches, it gets a little tough.”

The influx of influencers has also frustrated some tennis fans who believe too many attendees are more interested in the atmosphere than the competition.

Their complaints have added to the scrutiny surrounding behavior in the stands and suites.

“They don’t even care about tennis,” one person bemoaned to The Post last week.

“They are all just getting drunk and being rowdy.”

Caitlin Thompson, the founder of tennis literary magazine Racquet, also expressed concern about what now draws people to the tournament. She recently told The Post that she didn’t “think anyone’s really there to watch tennis [anymore].”

The viral footage placed that criticism directly in the spotlight, with a ring light and recorded suite video becoming symbols of the uneasy collision between tennis and influencer culture.

For players and annoyed fans, the attention became especially difficult to accept once it interfered with the action on the court.

Heidi Klum left little to the imagination in a revealing Instagram photo that showcased her toned figure. The 53-year-old German supermodel shared the striking outdoor snap with her followers Thursday, as reported by Fox News.

Klum wished fans a good morning by captioning the post, “M☀️RNING ❤️.” She posed with the bright sun shining behind her while using one hand to cover one of her eyes.

The “America’s Got Talent” judge wore semi-sheer white underwear and wrapped a multicolored shawl around her body. However, Klum had nothing underneath the shawl, leaving much of her torso exposed.

The flowing garment revealed Klum’s toned abs and slim figure as she stood outside. Her bold pose quickly attracted attention from followers, who filled the comments section with praise for the model.

“Spectacular morning to you ❤️ ” one fan wrote in response to the photo. Another admirer celebrated Klum’s appearance by writing, “For 53 she is Rocking !! 50 is the new 20 !!”

A third follower also applauded Klum for confidently showing her body. “When you get that old and look that good, expressing your body more power to her❤️ ,” the fan wrote.

The latest picture was not the first time Klum had shared a revealing vacation moment on social media. She recently posted another photo of herself lying topless on a beach while napping beside her husband, Tom Kaulitz.

Klum rested on a Gucci towel and wore only a hat and a black thong bikini bottom. Kaulitz was pictured next to her as the couple enjoyed their time together on the beach.

“No caption needed,” Klum wrote alongside that post. It also included several other photos of Klum and Kaulitz during their vacation in St. Barts.

The couple traveled to St. Barts to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary. Klum showed both affection and plenty of skin while marking the occasion with her husband.

Klum and Kaulitz married in a lavish yacht ceremony on Aug. 3, 2019, in Capri, Italy. The ceremony followed their secret marriage in February of that year.

The couple first met in February 2018. They made their red carpet debut in May 2018 while attending the amfAR Gala together during the Cannes Film Festival.

Klum, who turned 53 in June, previously spoke to People in 2020 about having Kaulitz as a partner. She said she could discuss everything with him and share the duties that come with their lives.

Before marrying Kaulitz, the “Germany’s Next Top Model” host was married to Australian hairstylist Ric Pipino. She later married singer Seal.

Klum and Seal share three children together: sons Henry and Johan and daughter Lou. Seal also adopted Klum’s daughter, Leni, from her previous relationship with Flavio Briatore.

The supermodel has continued to display her confidence through the revealing photos she shares online. She also told Fox News Digital it was “no big deal” that she went topless during her vacation.

Jennifer Aniston Drops Extremely Racy Joke While Interviewing Boyfriend Jim Curtis

/

Jennifer Aniston let her naughty side take over while interviewing her boyfriend, Jim Curtis. The “Friends” alum delivered an extremely racy joke during a conversation celebrating the release of his new book, “The Book of Possibility.”

As Page Six reported, the couple appeared at the 92nd Street Y in New York City on Wednesday. During the interview, Aniston recalled attending Steiner school nearby and regularly visiting the gym where she and Curtis were speaking.

“I went to Steiner school just down the street so I would come to this gym every Thursday,” she said, according to the Daily Mail. Her memories of the space soon set up the cheeky moment that left the audience laughing.

“And I wasn’t very sporty, but we had to do dodgeball, and there were these huge red balls,” Aniston continued. She explained that the game took place indoors rather than on a field, making it difficult for players to escape the action.

“And there was no field; it was just indoors, so you had to run for your life. So it’s quite a full circle moment to be back here with you.”

The “Morning Show” star, 57, then turned toward Curtis, 50, and seized the opportunity for a suggestive punchline. “Well … speaking of dodging balls …” she quipped, sending audience members into hysterics.

Aniston appeared to recognize just how far she had taken the joke. At the end of the interview, she asked her boyfriend, “Have I completely embarrassed you?”

The playful exchange offered a rare public glimpse of Aniston and Curtis together. It also came just days after the author discussed how the couple handles disagreements in their relationship.

Curtis revealed during a Monday appearance on the “Jamie Kern Lima Show” that meditation and conversation are among the tools they use when arguments arise.

He explained that different approaches can be useful at different points in a romance.

“We do a lot of meditation. We do a lot of talk,” Curtis said. “I think that at different stages in your relationship, different tools are really beneficial.”

Curtis also offered a positive update on his relationship with the Emmy winner. He said the romance was “going really well” while describing how he feels about being with Aniston.

The author added that he is “blessed to be in a relationship with someone that is so openhearted and kind and loving.”

His comments came shortly before the pair stepped out together for the interview about “The Book of Possibility.”

Aniston and Curtis first sparked dating rumors last July. At the time, they were seen together during an intimate vacation in Mallorca, Spain.

Their relationship has continued to attract attention, although a source told Page Six last month that marriage is not in their plans.

The source described the couple as “very, very happy,” but said they “have no intention of ever getting married.”

The latest appearance placed their affectionate dynamic on display, with Aniston guiding the discussion about Curtis and his work.

Her dodgeball story quickly became the standout moment once she turned its mention of large red balls into a racy joke aimed at her boyfriend.

Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. She later married Justin Theroux, with that marriage lasting from 2015 to 2018.

Elliot Page’s Odyssey Bounce Turns Into a Bust: Trans Agenda Meets Cold Casting Reality [WATCH]

Trans actor Elliott Page, born Ellen Page, says job offers are not pouring in despite a significant appearance as a male warrior in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

The film was a massive financial success during the summer, but Page claims the blockbuster has not produced calls about another role.

Page discussed the apparent casting drought during an appearance on the On Film with Kevin McCarthy podcast.

The actor revealed that no one has reached out about an upcoming project, even after The Odyssey became a worldwide financial juggernaut.

For actors, becoming strongly associated with one particular issue can create a problem.

The less an audience knows about a performer personally, the easier it can be for viewers to accept that person in different roles.

However, once audiences connect an actor with one specific subject, that association can become difficult to escape.

Filmmakers, directors, producers, and casting agents understand that reality, even when actors seemingly do not.

Page’s fixation on identity has become part of the public image surrounding the actor.

That could be an issue because Page made identity such a central part of the conversation.

Page came out as transgender in 2020 and has now described finding new roles as difficult.

During the podcast conversation, Kevin McCarthy suggested the success of The Odyssey might have prompted an avalanche of interest from filmmakers.

“Do you know what you’re doing next? Have you already started looking?” McCarthy asked Page.

“Because I imagine you’re getting a zillion calls after this movie.”

Page quickly corrected that assumption, making clear that the expected rush of offers had not happened.

The response also served as a direct invitation to anyone who might be interested in making contact about another project.

“No, Kevin, I’m not,” Page responded.

“If someone wants to call me … I’d really love to do ideally good work.”

Page then reflected on how casting perceptions have changed over time.

The actor acknowledged previously being viewed in a particular way and suggested that creating projects through direct outreach could now be one possible approach.

“I was seen in a certain way before and it’s different now, so maybe there is something to reaching out to people and trying to create projects that way. But it’s a little tricky for me to get cast now, for obvious reasons.”

Page did not elaborate further in the quoted remarks about those “obvious reasons.”

Still, the complaint was unmistakable: appearing in one of the summer’s biggest cinematic successes has not translated into another announced acting opportunity.

The lack of calls is especially striking given the scale of The Odyssey.

Christopher Nolan’s film grossed $1.4 billion worldwide, giving the director a personal financial record.

The movie did not merely perform well with audiences at the box office.

It also received tremendous critical praise and has been floated as a potential Best Picture Oscar nominee.

That combination of commercial success and critical enthusiasm would seem like a powerful showcase for the performers involved.

Yet Page says the anticipated benefits have not materialized in the form of new casting offers.

The situation reflects a trap that many actors encounter after allowing one aspect of their personal identity to dominate how the public sees them.

Once that connection takes hold, audiences may struggle to see anything else when the performer appears on screen.

Page’s remarks make clear that the actor is open to receiving calls and wants to continue doing work viewed as worthwhile.

For now, however, even a role in a $1.4 billion Christopher Nolan blockbuster has apparently failed to make the phone ring.

With no offers arriving after The Odyssey, Page may need to pursue projects by reaching out directly, as suggested during the podcast.

Otherwise, it might be time to contemplate a career change.
