'MOST DESIRABLE FEMALE'
Nominated for the Most Desirable Female prize by MTV Movie and TV Awards in 1992, the bombshell is still turning heads.
Although she shot to fame in Wayne's World, Tia picked up her first acting gig by chance, when she was spotted at a Hawaii grocery market, according to a 2020 interview with
The experience changed her life, she said, and led her to move to Los Angeles a few years later for a rough introduction to the movie industry.
After dealing with a slew setbacks Tia began landing jobs in the likes of TV shows General Hospital and MacGyver.
But it was the wacky script that landed on her desk in 1991 that changed everything.
'I remember going, 'Oh my god, this is the part that can change my life," she told Vice.
"And I can think of no one else that can do the acting and the singing and the rocking.
"But I can."

Prince Harry's wreath laying was a shameless STUNT to upstage cancer-hit Kate & Wills on VJ Day, royal expert says

PRINCE Harry has been slammed for his wreath "PR stunt" on VJ Day, with a royal expert saying Phillip would have hated it. Royal commentator and journalist Robert Jobson told The Sun's Royal Exclusive show that a lot of people respect Harry for his own service and he didn't need the "stunt". 9 Harry's letter was put on a wreath by a pal Credit: PA 9 King Charles laid a wreath to pay his respects on VJ Day Credit: The Sun 9 Our royal expert said it was a PR stunt to upstage William and Kate Credit: Getty 9 The honourary day was 'incredibly emotional' for the King and Queen Credit: The Sun "It was obviously a PR stunt. Bottom line is, if you didn't want it to be a PR stunt, just leave it there. "Somebody would see it. It would get passed to the press eventually. "It was a little bit too slick. It was part of Operation Rebuild Harry. "The King was there. It was incredibly emotional. You could see the tears in Camilla's eyes. "It was the King's day. The Prince and Princess of Wales absolutely should have been there." Our Royal Editor replied: "A cynic might argue that Prince Harry maybe saw that as an opportunity to leave a letter there." Robert continued: "Yes. A lot of people respected Harry for the Invictus Games, for his own service. "You don't need to do stunts. I can almost hear the derision coming out of the Duke of Edinburgh's mouth. "The Duke was a serviceman. It wasn't about himself. "Harry was advised by his father to think very carefully about what he does. You make your bed, you lie in it." William & Kate move to 8-bed 'forever home' as they plan 'fresh start' after cancer diagnosis The Duke of Sussex, 40, paid a heartfelt tribute to Prince Philip in a note left at the National Memorial Arboretum on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. The father-of-two trusted one of his pals to place it down alongside a wreath of red poppies at the Burma Star Memorial in Staffordshire on Friday. Previously he had not been allowed to lay a wreath at the cenotaph. As reported by GB News, the note was left after King Charles and Queen Camila paid their respects. VJ Day, commemorated annually on August 15, marks the anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allies after the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Harry, who did not attend but stayed at his home in California, wrote: "For me, this anniversary carries an added layer of meaning. "My late grandfather, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, served in the Pacific campaign. "He spoke with quiet humility about those years, but I know how deeply he respected all who stood beside him in that theatre of war. "Today, as I think of him, I think also of each of you, of the shared hardships, the bonds forged, and the legacy you leave." 9 Jobson said Will and Kate "absolutely should have been there" Credit: PA 9 Harry was previously not allowed to lay a wreath at the cenotaph Credit: Getty Prince Philip was in Tokyo Bay on the destroyer HMS Whelp, a warship he served on as second-in-command, when Japanese officials formally signed the surrender on the USS Missouri. King Charles did not mention his father's experience during his audio address to the nation on Friday morning. However he remembered his great uncle Earl Mountbatten, who was the Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia Command. Harry's letter, which was addressed to the "Forgotten Army", read: "On this 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we pause to remember the day the guns finally fell silent across the world, the true end of the Second World War. "We also pause to recognise you, the men and women of the 'Forgotten Army,' whose courage and endurance in the Far East campaign were anything but forgettable. "You faced an enemy determined to the last, fought in unforgiving terrain, and endured months, even years, far from home, in conditions most could scarcely imagine. "Your service in the jungles and mountains of Burma and beyond was marked by grit, unity, and sacrifice. "It is because of that sacrifice that generations since, myself included, have been able to live in freedom. "From the lessons of that bitter struggle came the understanding that even the fiercest of foes can, in time, become valued partners in peace. "Today, as both our nations mark this anniversary, we acknowledge the respect earned, the lives lost and the enduring friendship that has since taken root." The duke added: "I am humbled by your example, proud of your service and dedication, and profoundly grateful for what you endured. "Your story is part of our shared heritage, and it must never be forgotten. With the deepest respect, thank you." The letter was signed "Harry", Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Harry was reportedly left saddened in 2020 when he was not allowed to leave a wreath on Remembrance Sunday in the wake of Megxit. And just months later he was stripped of his military patronages by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II after his decision to step down as a senior working royal. 9 The Duke of Sussex paid tribute to his late grandfather Credit: Getty 9 Prince Philip passed away in 2021 aged 99 Credit: PA

My music moles tell me the team behind Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, including director Rob Reiner, have set up camp in Stonehenge and are working on the project all week. And the production is so top secret, the ancient site in Wiltshire is closing early to the public to try to limit disturbances.

'The whole of Stonehenge is getting locked down from 5pm this week to allow the camera crews to set up.

The Living My Best Life singer revealed the site suggested basketball player Chanan as a partner at the end of 2021, and they have been together ever since. Jessie, who recently spoke about having a miscarriage before she met Chanan, recalled: 'I'd seen him on the app and I'm a creep. 'I just went and followed him on Instagram, because it's connected to Instagram. 'Then I was like, 'No, he's going to have seen what I've just gone through publicly'. 'He's not going to want to deal with me and my fame and this, so I unfollowed him. 'But I kept thinking about him and I was like, 'OK, let me follow him again'. 'He messaged me saying, 'You're way too cute to follow, unfollow, follow, to not say what you want to say'.' Jessie, who now has a son, Sky, with Chanan, added: 'I honestly felt that was the reason I had my miscarriage, because the energy of the world was going, 'You deserve to be in love doing this with someone. This is going to happen for you, so just wait'.' Praising the sportsman, she said: 'He's calm and patient, very logical and doesn't think with emotions. And I'm the opposite.'

The movie explores couples separating and non-monogamy, but following her own rollercoaster love life, she admitted: 'I don't think I'm qualified to give any notes on relationships.' That said, she has another special someone in her life — close pal Madonna. She told E! Online: 'I really love her. 'We've been weird friends for a while. 'She is an energy to be near that is so beautiful and so wild. 'It's cool that she even wants to talk to me.'

The 500-capacity gig is being billed as his smallest ever ticketed show, though he admitted many of Take That's early gigs had far less people. Rob said: 'There were a lot of shows with Take That where it was one man and his dog and they didn't pay to come. 'I am going to play Life Thru A Lens in full as well as my new album Britpop.' Britpop, out on October 10, also features a song about Morrissey, co-written with Gary Barlow.

I can exclusively reveal they collaborated with the Queen guitarist on a new version of their 2014 debut single Could Have Been Me, which became a huge hit in the US and featured on the Sing 2 soundtrack. My photos show Brian alongside frontman Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott and drummer Gethin Davies on the set of a new video for the rock anthem, which will be unveiled on September 3. It marks a major return to form for Brian following a stroke last summer. It was not certain he'd ever play the guitar again. He said: 'Working with Luke and the Struts has been a joyous journey for me. 'I was inspired by the original version and felt an uncontrollable urge to mess with it! 'It carries a great positive message for rebellious kids of all ages.' Luke, who is on tour in North America with the band, added: 'Collaborating with Brian on this track is a dream realised. 'Hopefully this song will go on to inspire many more people to take life by the scruff of the neck and drink it down deeply.'

'I was wearing contacts, left the bathroom and thought I was high- fiving my drummer. 'After the high-five, I realised it was the flight attendant.' Quizzed on whether it was worth it, he confirmed: 'Yeah.' And Joe, left, added: 'It was a private flight or I would be banned from flying.'

Chris Robshaw's stalker harasses celebs to share lies about Strictly rugby ace online despite being arrested

CHRIS Robshaw's female stalker has been harassing other celebrities, begging them to reveal false claims about the rugby ace on social media despite her arrest. Police have dismissed all allegations but there is nothing to stop them being spread online. 5 Chris Robshaw's stalker has been harassing celebs to share lies about him and wife Camilla Kerslake online Credit: Getty 5 Narinder Kaur, a panellist on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine, was one of the celebs approached Credit: Chris McAndrew For The Times 5 Chris' ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman Credit: Getty The woman, who we are not naming, is understood to have left the country and is on the National Police Wanted List. But The Sun can reveal she has this week been messaging stars with outlandish claims about the ex-England skipper, 39, and his wife Camilla Kerslake as she is 'intent to ruin him'. One celebrity approached is broadcaster Narinder Kaur, who is a panellist on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine. She flagged the worrying messages to police and Robshaw's team. A source close to Chris said: 'Police were made aware of her claims, they spoke to the long list of people she had 'accused' and decided not to take further action. 'But she is intent on ruining Chris and a host of other people and is attempting to convince others that she is a victim, when actually she is on the National Wanted List. 'She has started calling companies Chris and Camilla were working with to tell them these lies and now is messaging celebrities with the farcical claims in the hope one of them will post about it.' Friends now hope that any celebrities approached will not pay the woman any attention and flag the notes to police. They say Chris' ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman. Chris alerted police when her threats became physical and towards his two children, and learnt that the woman was already known for similar behaviour. Strictly Come Dancing 2025 lineup IN FULL - including Game of Thrones star & famous YouTuber The friend added: 'Poor Camilla has been pulled into this for no reason at all. 'She hasn't even met the woman. 'This all started after she fell out with a previous employer over formal warnings for unprofessional conduct. 'She is obsessed with trying to ruin lives. 'Time and again, she's made vile false claims about innocent people. 'She's a serial offender - that's why she's now a wanted person. 'Police are being inundated with evidence against the wanted individual." Chris, who retired from professional rugby union in 2022, alerted the BBC about the issues when he signed up to appear on Strictly Come Dancing. The Corporation has been supporting him but the lad is determined to make this about dancing, not drama. The pal added: 'Chris has said to friends that he completely understands if Strictly had withdrawn their offer - he even admitted he felt like a bit of a burden on those he's working with. 'DANCING NOT DRAMA' 'Chris doesn't want special treatment just because he's on TV. 'He feels strongly that what's happening to him happens to countless others without the same spotlight. 'Whilst he could sue this individual for defamation, it's obvious there are some mental health issues here, and therefore he doesn't want to drag her through the courts as he believes she won't get the help she needs. 'Chris is determined to make this about dancing, not drama.' The Sun understands the stalker was arrested in December and released with a caution. But those close to Chris said her harassment has continued and she has now left the country. The Sun approached his spokeswoman for comment. 5 Chris is part of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up Credit: ITV
