Sharon Stone's rare red carpet appearance with all three of her sons
Sharon Stone is a proud boy mum. The actress, 67, was joined by her three sons, Roan, 25, Laird, 20, and Quinn, 19, for a rare red carpet appearance at Monday's premiere of her new film, Nobody 2, in Los Angeles. Stone wore a navy dress, glasses and a gold bangle bracelet as she posed for pictures with her boys, who all wore suits. Roan had on a pink suit, Laird opted for a grey suit, and Quinn went with a navy pinstripe suit. Along with her kids, Stone took photos with her co-stars Bob Odenkirk and Christopher Lloyd. The action thriller, also starring Connie Nielson, RZA, Colin Hanks, Michael Ironside and John Ortiz, is a sequel to 2021's Nobody, which follows a family man (Odenkirk) who returns to his former life as an assassin. Stone adopted her oldest son with her ex-husband, Phil Bronstein, in 2000. After the pair divorced in 2004, she adopted Laird in 2005 and Quinn in 2006. The Oscar nominee and Bronstein initially shared custody of Roan, but Roan ended up primarily living with his dad in San Francisco during the school year. Stone tried, and failed, to challenge the agreement. 'It broke my heart,' she said on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast in 2023 about losing custody of Roan. 'I ended up in the Mayo Clinic with extra heartbeats in the upper and lower chambers of my heart.' Stone alleged that her role in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct affected her custody of Roan. 'When the judge asked my child – my tiny little boy, 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?' This kind of abuse by the system, that it was considered what kind of parent I was because I made that movie,' she said. 'People are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular TV now and you saw maybe like a sixteenth of a second of possible nudity of me – and I lost custody of my child,' Stone added. Stone, who has been a single mum since her divorce, has maintained a close bond with her boys. In May, Stone shared a throwback photo of her sons swimming in the pool to celebrate Mother's Day. 'They boys, now young men, have made my Mother's Day EVERYTHING,' she wrote. Nobody 2 is in cinemas this Thursday.

Bob Odenkirk admits to being 'too hard' on Saturday Night Live
Bob Odenkirk "had a lot of attitude" when he joined Saturday Night Live. The 62-year-old star served as a writer on the long-running TV comedy series between 1987 and 1991, but Bob admits that his attitude towards the show has evolved over time. He told Entertainment Weekly: "I was too hard on the show. "I had a lot of attitude when I got hired there, like, 'This show could be better, this show could be Monty Python, this should be more cutting edge, this should be more dangerous.' And I was frustrated by it not representing purely my point of view. I wanted it to be me, my show." Bob now realises that his ambitions were unrealistic. He said: "It's not my show! It's a show that is shared by everyone who's in that cast, and everyone who's in that writing staff, and it's shared by generations, and not one generation. "Everybody in America watches it, and it's a reference point for everyone. I think the 50th just made me more aware [than] ever of the amazing work that's been done there." Bob's attitude towards Saturday Night Live has changed as he's aged, with the actor now more aware of what is and isn't possible. He said: "It's a bigger challenge than I thought it was when I worked there. "When I worked there I was 25, I was like, 'C'mon, dammit! We can do better! This is easy!' And it literally was the years since I've left that I went, 'Wait a second, that show is almost impossible to do at all.'" Bob would actually love to host the TV show one day. He shared: "I would love that opportunity. I have mad respect for the effort of that show, and I would dream of being able to host." Bob has already spoken to Saturday Night Live bosses about hosting the show, and he remains on friendly terms with the cast and crew. The actor said: "There's been conversation about it. They don't have me locked out. I'm friends with everybody there, and I know so many of the writers, and I know so many of the actors. It's just part of my life."

Bob Odenkirk stars in cult classic as The Room Returns!
'It's as if an alien came down from outer space, watched soap operas for a week, and went back to its planet and created a movie based on human interaction.' That's how The Room star Greg Sestero describes the 2003 box-office flop, which became a classic of such cult status that he wrote a memoir about its production, which, in turn, was made into the 2017 film The Disaster Artist. Now, a shot-for-shot retelling of the mysterious Tommy Wiseau's magnum opus, starring Bob Odenkirk, is coming to Sydney – and there's a heritage-listed cinema's monthly tradition to thank for it. Watch the video below to see our exclusive interview with Sestero and Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace general manager and licensee Alex Temesvari, with the venue's spirited screenings of what's widely considered one of the worst films ever made only one part of The Room 's legend. It started out as a passion project from Wiseau, who directed, wrote and produced the film with the dream of making a great American drama. The Room cost $US6 million ($16 million today) to make, and Wiseau paid for the entire production himself. To this day, nobody knows where he is from, how he acquired his wealth, or even his age. Loading Not even Sestero, who has an extraordinary friendship with him and was the only person on set who could speak Wiseau's language, and was the voice of reason amid the film's beautiful chaos. 'Being on set, every day was a surprise,' Sestero told this masthead. 'Certain movies are of their time, and they really sparked and had lightning in a bottle that you could never recreate.' The Room was mostly unknown and savaged by critics, but it continued midnight screenings in Los Angeles, where it caught the attention of college students.
