Friends star, 63, stuns with youthful appearance in new video 28 years after fan favorite role on sitcom
When she was in her early 30s, Elizabeth 'E.G.' Daily featured as the title character on the 1997 episode The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner.
E.G. made a splash as Leslie, the former singer-songwriter collaborator of Lisa Kudrow 's beloved character Phoebe Buffay.
Leslie and Phoebe plunge into a seething feud over Smelly Cat, the song that all fans will instantly recognize as the centerpiece of Phoebe's repertoire.
In a scene that Friends devotees remember fondly to this day, Phoebe and Leslie get back together for one last hurrah to sing a duet called Sticky Shoes.
Now, E.G., 63, has posted a new TikTok remembering her Friends shot - leaving viewers agog at how she has aged 'like wine' and looks 'amazing.'
'Everybody says that I look like the girl who sang "Smelly Cat" on Friends,' she wrote over a new video of her grinning. 'Probably because I am!'
With her hair still blonde, her megawatt smile still radiant and her lithe figure shown off by a crop top, E.G. looked nowhere near her 63 years.
Fans flocked to the comments section to gush over how 'hot' and 'amazing' she looks, as one effervesced: 'You age like wine, GORGEOUS.'
Other viewers marveled: 'God you're beautiful,' and: 'How do you look so young,' while one prayed: 'Dear gawd , please let me be this pretty when I'm her age.'
E.G. enjoys a host of fans who remember her wide variety of roles over the years, including the voice of Tommy Pickles on the children's show Rugrats.
Others recall her as Dottie in Tim Burton's classic 1985 feature film debut Pee Wee's Big Adventure, starring the late Paul Reubens in the title role.
She has also won her admirers as the voice of Buttercup on The Powerpuff Girls, and a part in the 1983 live-action romantic comedy Valley Girl.
However perhaps her most enduring role was on Friends as Leslie, who wrote songs with Phoebe before going off to work for an ad agency.
When Leslie hears the tune to Phoebe's song Smelly Cat, she suggests she sell it for a jingle, an idea that Phoebe rejects out of hand.
Ultimately, Phoebe gives her old friend an ultimatum - either they can collaborate again or Leslie can hawk Smelly Cat for use as a jingle.
Leslie chooses her ad agency, prompting Phoebe to write a song that goes: 'Jingle b**** screwed me over, go to hell jingle w****.'
On the personal front, she was married from 1995 until 2000 to Rick Salomon, who infamously co-starred in Paris Hilton's sex tape and whose subsequent wives were Shannen Doherty and Pamela Anderson.

Food influencers escape death after car crashes into restaurant table during filming
An influencer couple is lucky to be alive after an SUV plowed through the window as they sat down to enjoy a meal at one of their favorite restaurants. Nina Santiago, who goes by NinaUnrated, and Patrick Blackwood were sitting down at CuVée's Culinary Creations brunch restaurant in Houston, Texas, to enjoy a meal when the incident unfolded. The couple vlogs their lifestyle and outings to popular Texas restaurants to over 20,000 subscribers online. 'We were just sitting in a cozy booth at our favorite restaurant, enjoying happy hour with an amazing spread of salmon sliders, presidential oysters, a macaroni and cheese flight (classic, lobster, and truffle), shrimp and grits, and some refreshing drinks,' she wrote under the YouTube video. In the clip, the pair are seen enjoying a burger when they are suddenly jolted from their table, and shards of glass are seen flying into the air. The table, filled with various meals, was also sent flying into the air by the force of the crash. In the post, the couple said, 'This SUV came barreling through the glass wall at 35-40 mph [...] it hit right next to Patrick on the outside of the booth.' After the sudden impact, the couple and nearby servers were caught on camera in a state of shock as the banquet scene was destroyed. In the same video, the pair showed the aftermath, including the extent of their injuries, with Nina having slashed her hand and face, and Blackwood with a large cut on his cheek. 'Alright, time for stitches. My body just feels tight, my head hurts a little bit, and my jaw hurts a little bit. I'm just glad I'm alive,' Santiago says. She also revealed that this was the couple's second accident to occur in the same month, which made the incident even more disturbing. 'I don't know if I'm lucky or ******,' she said. The couple was lucky to escape barely unscathed from the near-miss. 'We were inches from disaster, but by some miracle, we're both okay, just shaken and forever changed,' they said, adding, 'Stay safe out there because life is so unexpected. That SUV came out of nowhere, and all we were doing was enjoying a simple meal.' The restaurant shared the clip on their Instagram and wrote, 'It was definitely a crazy weekend at Cuvées. We're just thanking God everyone is safe!' 'Nothing is going to keep us from serving great food and service to our community,' the Instagram story said. It's not immediately clear if the driver of the SUV will face any charges in the case.

Dua Lipa details 'intensely falling' for fiancé Callum Turner as she lifts the lid on their romance in rare move while posing for chic Harper's Bazaar shoot
Dua Lipa has opened up about her relationship with her fiancé Callum Turner as she detailed 'intensely falling' for the actor in a candid new interview. The singer, 29, who also posed for a stunning shoot alongside the chat, admitted she is prepared to be 'vulnerable' and allow love even if it means she gets hurt. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar U.S. for its Global Icons issue, Dua said that although opening her heart is scary she feels 'lucky' she gets to feel it. The couple began dating in early January last year, before making their romance official months later in June. They confirmed their engagement a year later. Discussing their relationship, Dua said: 'I love love. It is a beautiful thing. It's a really inspiring thing. You find yourself so intensely falling all the time in the best way possible. That vulnerability is so scary, but I feel so lucky to get to feel it. 'I've spent a lot of time being guarded or protecting my heart, and so I'm letting go of that feeling and just being like, "Okay, if I'm supposed to get hurt, then this is what's going to happen." I have to just allow love. When asked how it feels to be speaking so candidly about her relationship, she said: 'I'm happier than ever, so it feels like I'm doing a disservice by not talking about it.' 'When you're a public person, anything that's very personal is very vulnerable. It's not like I don't want to share it.' Dua, who turns 30 in August, publicly shared her excitement for the first time since the actor got down on one knee during a recent interview with British Vogue. The pop sensation discussed her family plans, saying she's concerned how having children will fit in with her career as a pop star. 'I'd love to have kids one day,' she said. 'But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Confirming their engagement, Dua said: 'Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling.' Late last year, news of their romantic proposal emerged and Dua has regularly been seen with a dazzling diamond ring on her finger. Speaking of their wedding plans, Dua said she hopes to finish her tour and Callum to wrap up filming before they tie the knot. While the wedding hasn't been at the forefront of her mind amid her busy schedule touring, she did admit she has started to think about her dress. She said: 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: "Oh, what would I wear?"' Dua said she's 'obsessed' with her engagement ring, before insisting 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Dua and Callum were first linked in January 2024 and reportedly got engaged over Christmas in 2024. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Dua and Callum had 'many Sliding Doors moments', where they were in the same place at the same time without realising, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London. A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when 'all of a sudden' Callum appeared. She thought: 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' During their conversation, the pair realised they both 'just happened to be reading' Hernan Diaz's novel Trust. Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: 'One thousand per cent.' Dua and Callum first sparked romance rumours in January 2024 when they both attended a Masters Of The Air afterparty in London. Prior to making her relationship public, the Dance the Night songstress revealed during promotion for her album Radical Optimism that she had to find her 'confidence' again after previous relationships had gone awry. Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she revealed: 'In terms of relationships, I needed to get to this place in order to find what I really needed. You have to be in the act of forgiveness and growing and learning, and being okay with the past in order to move on with what's to come next. 'So it's, for me, Happy for You is a beautiful, happy song, because it's so reflective of my journey. 'I think with every relationship, with every experience you learn about yourself, you learn about things that are hurtful to you, what you expect, what you should be ready to give as well. 'I think, again, it goes back to that exchange of vulnerability. 'I think I've had relationships which have been really hurtful, especially earlier on, where I feel like I've been made to feel like not good enough or have made me lose my confidence and I've had to find that again. 'You learn about your own non-negotiables. I think that's an important thing. It's of course the right person, but it's really about the right relationship. 'You find that in friendships and in love relationships as well, of your non-negotiables.'

Report: Jimmy Kimmel claims Colbert's show was losing $40m a year
'These alleged insiders who supposedly analyze the budgets of the shows - I don't know who they are, but I do know they don't know what they're talking about.' 'They seem to only be focused on advertising revenue and have completely forgotten about affiliate fees, which number in the hundreds of millions - probably in total billions - and you must allocate a certain percentage of those fees to late-night shows,' the ABC late night host continued. 'It really is surprising how little the media seems to know about how the media works.' Affiliate fees are payments made to networks by other channels that broadcast their shows. Kimmel went on to argue that late-night was here to stay - pointing to platforms like YouTube as a way to combat waning linear viewership. 'Network television is declining,' Kimmel told the magazine. 'There's no question about that. 'But more people are watching late-night television than ever before — and I include Johnny Carson in that,' he said, referring to the legendary former NBC late night host. 'People may find that shocking. When Carson was at his peak, he was getting around 9 million viewers a night, That's huge,' Kimmel pointed out. 'Of course, the lead-in shows were getting 30 and 40 million, which was a big part of it. 'But people are still watching late-night - just in different places. Our monologues get between 2 and 5 million views, sometimes more, every night.' The picture painted by Puck's report, meanwhile, was markedly different, with sources said to be familiar with the matter telling Matthew Belloni that the show was losing money. Colbert was being paid between $15 million and $20 million a year, with production costs totaling $100 million. Execs reportedly came to the decision during a behind-closed-doors meeting that took place as Colbert was away on his usual summer vacation. Talks about the show's future had been in the works for months, the sources claimed. CBS' parent company Paramount was sold to a company called Skydance for $8 billion earlier this summer after the deal was rubber-stamped by President Trump's Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Paramount's $8billion merger with Skydance was approved shortly thereafter, fueling theories Colbert's cancellation was to help the deal come to pass after months in limbo. CBS News' settlement with Trump - which Colbert called 'a big fat bribe' - stoked such speculation as well, due to the Skydance merger requiring approval from Trump's FCC. Skydance has denied any involvement with the decision, which Paramount and CBS have both said was financially driven. 'There's just not a snowball's chance in hell that that's anywhere near accurate,' Kimmel said of such claims on Monday. 'That's all you need to know.' 'Suddenly he's losing $40 million a year? I will tell you, the first 10 years I did the show, they claimed we weren't making any money - and we had five times as many viewers on ABC as we do now. 'Who knows what's true? All I know is they keep paying us - and that's kind of all you need to know.' Sources last month told CBNBS Kimmel's show remains profitable, partifcularly when non-traditional TV advertising revenue is taken into account. Paramount's new owner, David Ellison, is the 42-year-old son of Larry Ellison, a long-time Republican donor worth roughly $300billion. He is an actor turned producer with no background in news. He is bolstered by his deputy, former NBCU exec Jeff Shell.
