Noughties movie star Ali Larter's ripped bikini pic at 49
25 years after she first found fame in hits like Varsity Blues and Final Destination, noughties movie star Ali Larter looks absolutely sensational in her latest post. The 49-year-old star posted a stunning mirror selfie taken inside her trailer while filming the TV show Landman. Larter wears a teeny red string bikini in the photo, shared to her Instagram account, showing off her toned abs and legs. 'For all my ladies out there that work hard to be their best everyday,' she wrote in her caption. 'Let's hear how you do it? I had to shoot a bikini scene for my show last week. Playing a character that is so comfortable in her body drives me. So here's how I prep and what I eat for a day on set.' She then went on to detail her daily schedule, which includes waking up at 5:30 in the morning and drinking celery juice and coffee. She also explains she will work out, 'dunk my face in ice water, slather with oil cause of my spray tan' and leave for work by seven in the morning. In the photo, Larter accessorises the red bikini with a diamond cross necklace belonging to her character, which she calls 'my suit of armour for this woman.' '[Ten] minutes of deep breathing to break down the BS I tell myself and redirect my energy to a calm, confident, and creative state while I look over my material,' she wrote. 'And then go walk the walk! Let me know how you build yourself up to look and feel your best. Xo' The comments section was full of fans sending positivity towards the actress, with one writing 'I'll have what she's having. Holy moly Ali,' and another adding, 'Holy smokes- you look UNREAL!! I need to do all of these things immediately!!! #GOALS!!' This isn't the first time the Legally Blond e star has appeared on the show in a bikini. The actress posted a carousel of photos on her Instagram in November 2024 featuring stills from the show while promoting the first season. In the photos, the actress can be seen in a different red bikini, which featured strings wrapped around her abdomen. Larter plays Anglea, Billy Bob Thornton's character's on-again-off-again wife on the Taylor Sheridan-led show, which revolves around the oil business and the people behind it. The show also stars Demi Moore and Jon Hamm. Larter told Fox News Digital she worked with a dialogue coach to nail her character's West Texan accent, and was inspired by her wardrobe to get into character. 'They put a little air in their 'WH's, and so getting in the accent was something for me,' she said. 'Also, you know, Angela is a very glamorous woman, and she loves to like, you know, put on her leopard print bodysuits and her … jeans and so, putting on her wardrobe and her heels was a big thing for me, and the hair and makeup, and then it was a kind of moment of transforming into this character that is very provocative and very bold and comfortable in her body.'

Influencer and TV star tragically dies aged 30
Beloved TV star and influencer Nihal Candan has tragically died aged 30 after a devastating battle with anorexia nervosa. The Turkish household name first rose to fame in 2014 during her stints on reality shows Bu Tarz Benim and Survivor. Beyond TV, Ms Candan cultivated a significant social media following where she shared beauty, fashion and lifestyle content, eventually launching her own beauty brand. In November 2023, Ms Candan and her sister Bahar were arrested on charges of fraud and money laundering, allegedly connected to a scam involving discounted vehicle sales. During her time in prison, Ms Candan developed anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterised by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. Her health deteriorated rapidly, leading to her release from prison in Apeil 2024 due to medical concerns. Ms Candan was admitted to hospital earlier this month sparking a public plea from her sister. 'My sister was taken to the hospital, she has anorexia … Do something, my sister is dying,' she said. On June 19, quick-thinking doctors were able to save Ms Candan's life after her heart stopped temporarily. Tragically, just one day later she suffered a second cardiac arrest and despite resuscitation efforts she was pronounced dead. Ms Candan had reportedly dropped to just 23 kilograms while undergoing treatment in hospital. Devastating footage of her funeral has emerged with clips of her sister crying while holding a photo of Ms Candan with the words '1995 – infinity' written below. Hundreds of fans flocked to the comment sections of Ms Candan's latest post to share their heartfelt condolences, calling it 'devastating' and a 'tragedy'. 'I literally cried over this. she was so young and beautiful,' said one. 'You left this world too early … But the energy, smile and memories you left behind are still with us,' said another. 'There is nothing to say, I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry,' wrote a third. The Federation of Women's Associations of Turkey has since shared a statement detailing the 'deadly pressure' of society. 'Nihal Candan's death due to anorexia nervosa once again reveals that the pressures and impositions placed on women's bodies by society can reach deadly levels,' they wrote on X 'Aesthetic norms, the fantasy of the perfect body constantly reproduced by the media, and the feeling of 'having to be beautiful' push women to take life-threatening risks, while TV programs and competitions objectify them. This issue also reflects a broader problem of inequality. It is something we must discuss and debate extensively.' Ms Candan had just celebrated her 30th birthday in hospital last week.

Tom Cruise scolded Michael Cera for rude interruption while filming: ‘He runs the set'
Tom Cruise called out Michael Cera the first time they worked together. When the duo met to film a quick clip for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Cera was put on blast for 'talking to the writer' during filming. 'We were just kind of mumbling while they were shooting,' the Barbie star, 37, recalled on the Louis Theroux Podcast Tuesday. 'But they could hear us. It was just, like, 40 feet away.' Cruise, 62, stopped what he was doing at the time to ask, 'Is that Michael Cera talking during a f**king take?'' Although Cera does 'think [Cruise] was joking,' he noted that it was clear the Top Gun star wanted him to 'shut up.' Cruise later ribbed Cera for 'talking during a f**king take' before assuring the Tony nominee that he was 'kidding.' Cera told listeners that Cruise was 'very friendly' but 'runs the set' and is 'such a leader.' He explained, 'I was there for, like, five minutes, but what I observed was, he was like the first [assistant director] on the set.' Cruise's rep has yet to respond to Page Six 's request for comment. Working with Cruise was a 'surreal' and 'fascinating' experience for Cera — although he initially spaced on the collaboration when asked about it. 'I haven't worked with Tom Cruise,' Cera insisted before quickly walking back the statement. 'Oh, yes. I have. Crazy thing to forget.' Host Louis Theroux quipped, 'I love that. I dream of the day when I forget working with Tom Cruise.' The Mission Impossible star came up in conversation as the duo discussed Scientology, which Cruise has been a member of since the 1980s. He was reportedly introduced by his first wife, Mimi Rogers, and went on to marry Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. Cruise is now believed to be 'courting' his Deeper co-star Ana de Armas, although the duo did not speak to romance rumours during their recent press tours for different films.
