Sharon Stone back in 'lady underwear'
The 60-year-old actress joked she has spent the last few decades living in a "stinky fraternity house" with adopted sons Roan, 25, Laird, 20, and 19-year-old Quinn, but now they have all moved out, the Casino star has taken the opportunity to embrace her femininity again.
Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she explained: "I've been wearing boxer shorts. Because you do not wear lady panties when you have so many boys."
Sharon joked she had morphed into "a dude, just a dude", but things have changed now her sons have fled the nest.
She said: "I hope you notice. I feel really feminine again. I grew my hair back. It's amazing!"
The Nobody 2 actress believes growing up in a small Pennsylvania town with "no stoplights and a zipper factory" has helped her survive Hollywood and raising her children thanks to her "wholesome middle-American values."
She said: "I wouldn't have survived [without the values]. I wouldn't be a sober, healthy, working mom who was able to take three adopted kids — which is just different, let's just say — and do it by myself with the help of wonderful nannies if I didn't come from grounded, moral values."
Sharon is particularly thankful she has successfully navigated the teenage years during "difficult climates"
She said: "My kids were off school during COVID. We all went through this. Our kids are online and then they are confused about their value systems. It's been a complicated period to raise children.
"And then I see these pictures of them... All of us on the red carpet. I called them all last night, and we were all talking about it.
"And I just [told] each one of them how proud I was of them because I looked at them as individuals in that picture. Grounded, centered, handsome, organised. I was so proud of them.
"I said to my youngest, I said, 'You know what? We did it.' And he said, 'Mom, we're a family that weathered the storm.' "

Eva Longoria spotted wearing black G-string bikini in Spain
Eva Longoria is the latest in a long line of celebrities to be spotted savouring a Euro Summer. The Desperate Housewives star, 50, showed off her impressive figure in a black string bikini in the beachside city of Marbella, in Spain. Looking as youthful as when she first shot to fame in her late twenties, Longoria was seen enjoying a low-key beach day with her family. Unlike the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Dua Lipa and Chris Hemsworth, who've all been spotted across Spain over the past few days, Longoria resides in Marbella with her family. It was revealed last year Longoria and her husband José Bastón and their six-year-old son Santiago had relocated from California to Spain, and have been splitting their time between homes they own in both Marbella and Mexico. Of her decision to leave Los Angeles, Longoria made controversial comments to Marie Claire in November describing America as a 'dystopian country'. The interview came after the TV star dedicated much of her time to campaigning for Kamala Harris before Donald Trump was ultimately elected for a second term. 'I had my whole adult life here [in LA]. But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge,' Longoria told the magazine. 'Whether it's the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s**t on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.' 'I'm privileged,' she continued. 'I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren't so lucky.' 'They're going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.' Longoria later clarified her comments, saying on The View: Behind the Table podcast she had been predominantly living in Europe for the previous three years. 'By the way, the [ Marie Claire ] article says that. People just grabbed some clickbait stuff to be divisive, which makes me so sad,' she said. 'Everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can't be that way right now.'

Shayne O'Cass's best bets, inside mail for Bathurst and Casino on Monday, August 18, 2025
Form analyst Shayne O'Cass presents his best bets and quaddie leg analysis for Monday's NSW meetings at Bathurst and Casino. â– â– â– â– â– BATHURST TIPS BEST BET Race 1 No.3 SENJUTSU: Bjorn Baker debutant; $250,000 yearling blueblood, trialled well. NEXT BEST Race 6 No.4 BUFF IN DISGUISE: Boasts some exceptional numbers at the track and the distance. VALUE Race 2 No.4 BRANDYWINE: Winless at 39 starts but this looks like it might be the day. QUADDIE Race 4: 2,6,7 Race 5: 8,11,12 Race 6: 4 Race 7: 1,4,11,12 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW Winona Costin will be awfully hard to beat in the TAB Jockeys Challenge. BATHURST INSIDE MAIL SLUSH FUND (2) is by the Golden Slipper winner Capitalist and a grandson of the 1997 Slipper placegetter Regal Chamber. Slush Fund has four placings and two wins in just eight starts under the Clint Lundholm management and best of all, he's on a hat-trick. HINUNE (6) really hasn't run a bad race in all half dozen starts thus far. She spelled off a Super Maiden win and has come back and trialled up nicely again. GEOSTORM (10) is the sentimental tip, the omen tip, lining up here in the race named after him. BET: SLUSH FUND (2) to win, quinella 2,6. SHEZASIREN (8) has raced six times and all of them in stronger races than this one. Her best run so far was a length third at Moruya to subsequent TAB Highway winner Urafiki. Deanne Panya rode that day and heads west to partner with her again. Go well. THAIBEEFSALADE (12) was scratched from Moruya on Sunday. Drawn the outside gate here but her 'best' probably gets her a medal of some description. FRENCH HARP (11) is invariably thereabouts. BET: SHEZASIREN (8) each-way, Daily Double 1st Leg 8, 2nd Leg 12 (or if scratched, 1). BUFF IN DISGUISE (4) 's career record is 47 starts for 6 wins and 10 placings, all quite commendable for a stayer, but what does make the Ron 'Manawanui' Leemon trained son of USA St Leger Stakes winner and Caulfield Cup runner-up Dandino so likeable today is that his record at the track/trip is three starts for a win and a third. DRUNKER SAILOR (3), James Ponsonby's $1,2500 purchase and now winner of $65,520 won his Maiden here in great style. Been good ever since and really does go well for Winona Costin. BET: BUFF IN DISGUISE (4) to win, quinella 3,4, box trifecta 1,2,3,4. MARVEL MAN (12) is a dual acceptor, this one and race three on the card. Drew 10 of 10 in that one, has barrier 1 in this one. Long story short with him, he was building up to that last start win and it was a monster win too! WANDERING JACK (1) is trained by last Saturday's TAB Highway winner, Mick Mulholland. The Chad Lever mount is first-up on Monday, keeping in mind that his fresh record is one win, one second and one third from four 'goes'. Placed twice here at the venue. KEADOOL (4) is a last start winner. BET: MARVEL MAN (12) to win. â– â– â– â– â– CASINO TIPS BEST BET Race 3 No.12 KIRKALL: Kris Lees' Ole Kirk son ran second in a deep maiden on debut. NEXT BEST Race 6 No.2 HIDDEN HAIL: Goes on all surfaces but has a 50 per cent win rate on Heavy. VALUE Race 7 No.1 SNOW FALCON: Last start Heavy 8 winner at Port Mac with a big weight. LAY OF THE DAY Race 4 No.2 TRUE FAIRY: Has some genuine competition in the race (provided they all start, major scratchings anticipated). CASINO INSIDE MAIL ARCHIE MAXIMUS (3) was sold as a weanling for $10,000 and has already won back $8,450 of that in three starts. The Matthew Dunn trained colt placed at Casino on debut and seems comfortable enough in the Soft 7 range. Stablemate GLAM (10) was $20 into $13 on debut at Doomben on April 4 when a close-up fifth. Spelled, trialled well at Deagon on August 5. Locally-trained INTELLIGENCER (11) has to be forgiven for the first-up run at Grafton. BET: ARCHIE MAXIMUS (3) to win, INTELLIGENCER (11) to place. HIDDEN HAIL (2) arrives here in good form having posted consecutive thirds at Grafton and Port mac at his last two. He carried big weights each time and there were pretty strong benchmark 58s, certainly stronger than how this one is looking with all the likely scratchings. EAGLE'S FIRE (5) has only one win in 19 starts but he has placed eight times. Soft track form is rock solid. Stablemates GOT THE SMARTS (7) and MAWSONS EXPEDITION (6) are major players (if they come). BET: HIDDEN HAIL (2) to win. SNOW FALCON (1) has raced in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and plenty of times here in New South Wales. Monday will be the Grafton based daughter of Lonhro's first visit to Casino. The Shane Everson-trained mare is coming off a rather dominant win at Port Macquarie carrying 61kg; the same weight as today. BRAVE INSTINCTION (9) seems to fancy some cut in the ground which he is assured of on Monday. HARD TO DISMISS (7) is a reliable each-way style of horse. TORQUE TI AMO (7) is a valuable broodmare prospect later on, boasting Eight Carat as her sixth dam via Cotehele House (mother of Commands and Danewin). Trained by Matthew Dunn so it wouldn't surprise to see this mare in a Highway before too long. Speaking of well bred, the locally-housed IN THE BLINK (11) is by Pierro and a granddaughter of Bob Scarborough's Blue Diamond winner, Sleek Chassis. She'll be first run for Ethan Ensby here and those trials are better than they read.

How unlikely TV star Bob Odenkirk transferred his skills to become an action film hero in Nobody 2
Bob Odenkirk entered the entertainment industry as a nobody, gradually worked his way up to 'somebody' status and, now, as a nobody again, has become Hollywood's unlikeliest action hero. In the 2021 hit, Nobody, the 62-year-old played Hutch Mansell, a mild-mannered family man whose past as a former government assassin comes in handy when he's reluctantly drawn into a war with the Russian mob. Odenkirk's performance was widely praised, coming after the actor had already won a legion of fans as the unscrupulous lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, earning six lead actor Emmy nominations in the process. With Nobody 2 hitting Australian cinemas this week, Odenkirk says Hutch and Saul have some similarities. 'Somewhere around the third season of Better Call Saul I realised that they're watching this show all the way around the world,' Odenkirk says in an interview with The Sunday Times. 'And I thought, 'What can I do in the movies that could play for this audience'. And I realised Saul is hard working. He never quits. He's clever. He kind of gets knocked down, gets back up again. That's an action hero, except he's not fighting. 'I was willing to train to fight. I've enjoyed the training a lot, so it's sort of this weird, squiggly journey over into action.' That training paid off in the first film, with one particularly memorable scene in which Odenkirk's Hutch dispatches a gaggle of gangsters onboard a bus. When it comes to action sequences, it's a modern classic of the genre, which is no huge surprise given Nobody was written by Derek Kolstad and made under the auspices of David Leitch's 87North Productions, the brains behind the John Wick franchise. But Odenkirk readily admits Hutch is no John Wick. He has a different action star in mind. 'He's more Jackie Chan than John Wick,' the actor says. The comparison might have the uninitiated thinking Odenkirk veers into slapstick during his fights, but this isn't the case. Yes, Hutch might bump his head or occasionally cop a blow that's intended to land with humour, but this isn't the broad comedy of a Jackie Chan film. The violence is, well, violent. As someone who started out as a writer on Saturday Night Live, Odenkirk is a natural with the comic timing, and the rest requires visits to a stunt gym twice a week, which ramps to sessions every day when there's four months until the production starts. The punishing training regimen is necessary to pull off the 11 distinct fight sequences in Nobody 2. 'It's hard, but it's good for you to exercise that much, but it is a lot,' Odenkirk admits. 'It's like doing two workout sessions a day, and that's fine for a couple days, but when you get into a couple weeks of it, it starts to really wear you down. 'I don't usually get hurt. We do a lot of stretching and preparation. I do oftentimes get bloody hands, because you swing your arms a lot and you'll hit your hand on something and that's the most injury I've gotten from these films.' The sequel picks up the action a few years after the events of the first movie, with Hutch's family now fully aware of his former life as an assassin. Wife Becca (Gladiator's Connie Nielsen) is becoming increasingly unhappy with her husband's extracurricular activities, so, like the dutiful family man he is, Hutch decides to take his brood on a road trip to a kitsch amusement park somewhere in Smalltown America. It was the site of his happiest childhood memory, so imagine his frustration when Hutch finds the park now run by thugs in cahoots with an unhinged crime lord, played by the one and only Sharon Stone having the time of her life. 'I had met her at an awards show, the Golden Globes actually, and she seemed very nice, and she was complimentary to me,' Odenkirk recalls. 'I wrote her a note, and I said, 'Would you be willing to be a very big, broad character, because I didn't want her to come in and say, 'Hey, can we give it subtlety and can I play it more grounded'. No, not grounded. Big, broad, Bond villain level.' Stone delivered, providing the ideal foil for Hutch, who somehow becomes even more relatable in Nobody 2. 'There's all these indignities that are very common, the kinds of things everyone suffers through in their daily life,' he explains. 'When you go on a vacation, you get the wrong hotel room. The water park is closed when you get there, and you drove for five hours in the heat. You're just worn down.' So, when a local yokel in a video game arcade smacks Hutch's daughter, it's the perfect excuse to vent some of that frustration. 'It's the kind of thing in real life that could happen, but that you shouldn't respond to,' Odenkirk says. 'You shouldn't fight, but you want to. And, of course, Hutch is a guy who does fight ... and he comes back in that arcade and he punches that guy, and then he takes all the other security guys out. 'That's the beauty of Nobody 2, every dad can feel it.' It's the sort of movie that makes you want to cheer out loud in the cinema. An underdog story that proves the old adage about the size of the dog in the fight being less important than the size of the fight in the dog. And this underdog has a ton of fight. Odenkirk wouldn't have it any other way. Nobody 2 is in cinemas now.
