Sharon Stone confirms she went on a date with a 2000s rapper
It's getting hot in here. Sharon Stone, 67, has revealed that she once went on a date with Nelly, 50, despite the pair's more than 15-year age gap. The Basic Instinct actress confessed to the surprising dalliance while promoting her new movie, Nobody 2, with co-star Bob Odenkirk during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday. 'I mean, this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it,' Cohen, 57, said. 'Sharon, did you go on a date with Nelly?' 'Yes, I did,' Stone admitted with a burst of laughter. However, the actress and rapper apparently did not hit it off, because Stone also admitted that the pair never went out again. 'No, I did not,' she said when Cohen asked about a follow-up date. Although Stone did not share any additional details about her and Nelly's romantic rendezvous, her fans rushed to social media to express their surprise about the stunning revelation. 'Ahh! I keep watching her in these clips. I love her transparency,' one person wrote on Instagram. 'Icon,' commented another alongside a flame emoji. 'Follow-up Q: anybody else you dated that would surprise us?' inquired a third. Despite not hitting it off with the artist, Stone has still had her fair share of relationships over the years. She was married to film producer Michael Greenburg, 74, from 1984 to 1987, and later went on to marry journalist Phil Bronstein, also 74, from 1998 to 2004. Before Stone and Bronstein's split, the pair adopted a son, Roan, 25, in 2000. The star then adopted her second son, Laird, 20, in 2005, followed by her third son, Quinn, 19, one year later. Stone made a rare red carpet appearance with all three of her sons at the Los Angeles premiere of Nobody 2. Besides her marriages to Greenburg and Bronstein, the star was romantically linked to comedian Garry Shandling, filmmaker William Macdonald and assistant director Bob Wagner. After suffering a stroke in September 2001, Stone decided to put her acting career on hold to focus on her family and loved ones. Now, as an empty nester, the Sliver actress has decided to return to her life on the big screen. 'When I reconsidered what value things had to me in life, I really wanted to have children and spend my time with them,' Stone told Today during an interview published Monday. 'And I only really worked as much as I needed to support my family,' she added. 'But now my children have left the nest, and now I'm back to work.' As for Nelly, he married his longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend, Ashanti, in December 2023. The couple later welcomed a baby son, Kareem, on July 18, 2024.

NFL star's wife reveals strict phone rules for four daughters
The wife of a former NFL star has divided social media after she shared how she planned to tackle the topic of mobile phones when her four daughters reach their teen years. Kylie Kelce, who is married to former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, has revealed what she and her husband plan to do in order to keep their girls, Wyatt, 5, Eliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, who was born on March 30, 2025, safe. The 33-year-old was discussing the divisive issue with American morning television star, Kelly Ripa, on her podcast, Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce, after her guest said she had spoken to a young woman who'd broken up with her boyfriend on Snapchat using AI. Ripa, who hosts the Live! with Kelly and Mark show, revealed her nieces solely use Snapchat to communicate with their friends, and asked Mrs Kelce what she planned to do. 'I actually believe that we will be doing, what I am calling, 'the kitchen phone',' she said. 'In other words, there will be one or two extra cell phones besides mum and dad's cell phone, that they can take with them if they have somewhere they're going where there will not be a parent or if they will need to get hold of us or if they're at something sports related.' The podcast host explained the phones would only be kept to the first floor of the house, meaning the couple's four daughters can't be using the phone in their bedroom. She said the girl's friends can still have the phone number and contact them directly but the phones live in the kitchen. But, unsurprisingly, people had a lot to say about the mum's approach to parenting — some said she was being strict, while others praised the idea. 'My parents did this and we constantly snuck the phones upstairs after they went to bed. Super strict parents create super sneaky kids,' one said. Another added: 'And they will have burner phones.' 'I was like this when my kids were younger but as they got older I realised how important it is that they have their phones. I can contact them easily as they can with me and I track their location,' another social media user commented. One said: 'She's got four kids. I doubt this will last.' 'This is quite literally landlines (with the added bonus of being able to leave the house with it). Y'all need to understand I didn't have more than a flip phone until junior year of high school and junior year DESTROYED me. It was the constant access to the internet. This is the right move,' one person argued in Mrs Kelce's defence. One said: 'I agree with her. they will get some much exposure in regular life it won't affect them down the road with being behind.' 'Obvious move. My siblings kids are both treated the opposite way in regards to cell phones and the level of maturity, conversation and attention span on the kids without phone access is leaps and bounds ahead of the kids without full access,' one said. Another added: 'Big yikes. Their kids are already living a much different and more privileged life than almost all other kids. This just further isolates them from other kids making it harder to form relationships and knowing what is in right now.' 'Parents who disagree with this need to reconsider. The internet is a TERRIFYING place for unsupervised children. I will be doing the complete opposite of how my parents raised me, which was phone way too young and no restrictions,' one said. One social media user said: 'I think this is really easy to say when your kids are little. Wait until you have teenagers in the house. Things get real then.' 'We all grew up with a landline so I don't understand why people have a problem with this lol,' one added.

Mark Hamill thought Star Wars was a Flash Gordon parody after reading script
Mark Hamill thought that Star Wars was a parody of Flash Gordon when he first read the script. The 73-year-old actor played Luke Skywalker in the original film A New Hope, released in 1977, but he admits during the first readthrough he was convinced that creator George Lucas had written a spoof, inspired by the 1950s TV series based on the Flash Gordon 1930s comic strip. Mark went to Harrison Ford - who played space smuggler Han Solo, the pilot of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars - who had worked with Lucas before on American Graffiti for some insight, but his co-star didn't offer a theory, so he then went to George who provided even less clarity on his vision. Discussing Star Wars during an interview on UK TV show This Morning, Hamill said: "The thing is I didn't get the whole script, for the screen test it was only eight pages. I thought, 'Who talks like this?' So I spoke to Harrison and you know what he said? 'Hey kid, let's just get it done.' He was no help at all. "I went to George. I said, 'George this is sort of like a send up of Flash Gordon.' He went, 'Let's just do it and talk about it later.' Translation: let's just do it and never talk about it later. "He's not a director who likes to talk about motivation and backstory. He casts people that are so close to what he wants that he doesn't have to direct us. I was wide-eyed and energetic and all these things." Hamill also didn't expect Luke to be the hero of the film, and was pleasantly surprised when he got the full script and realised Luke - who was originally called Luke Starkiller - was going to be the main protagonist. He added: "When I was filming, Harrison, to me, was a leading man, I just assumed he was the lead character and I was his annoying sidekick. Then I get the movie, and Harrison must be Luke. He was called Luke Starkiller at that time. Then I started reading it and I was like, 'Oh my god, it's from my point of view,' which is really unusual to tell it through a teenager." Hamill admits he made Luke "as juvenile as I could so I could have some growth" but he was disappointed by the name change to Luke Skywalker because he felt his alter ego needed the more macho moniker. He said: "We shot the scene, 'I'm Luke Starkiller I'm here to rescue you.' I came back the next week and said, 'Why are we doing that scene again?' They said, 'Oh, they've changed your name.' I said, 'To what?' They said, 'To Skywalker.' Let's face it Luke could use a little macho-ing up. It sounded like Luke Flyswatter, I hated it." Mark has reprised his role as the Jedi Knight in the two original sequels, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as the three Disney sequels and spin-off TV shows, admits he has nothing but fond memories of making the original - which also starred the late Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, British screen icon Sir Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anthony Daniels as droid C3PO and Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin. Hamill - who can currently be seen in Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck, an adaptation of a Stephen King novella - said: "We had fun, that's for sure. It was really odd, because you were being paid for being in your backyard when you were 10 years old and pretending that you were Zorro or whoever. It was all a blast."
