Eva Longoria, 50, is every inch the doting mother as she spends quality time with her son Santiago, 7, on the beach in Marbella

Eva Longoria looked every inch the doting mother as she spent quality time with her son, Santiago Enrique Bastón, during a beach outing in Marbella on Monday.
The American actress, 50, cut a laid-back figure in a white crop top as she and her family enjoyed some downtime to mark Saint John's Eve (Noche de San Juan).
The Spanish festival, which celebrates the summer solstice, is known for its fiery traditions - including beach bonfires, fire-jumping, and midnight swims.
Showing off her toned tummy, Eva paired her white crop top with low-rise, beige baggy trousers for a relaxed yet stylish look.
Meanwhile, her son Santiago, seven, looked adorable in a white polo top and shorts as he larked around on the beach.
Eva welcomed her son with her husband, José Antonio Bastón, on June 19, 2018.
The former Desperate Housewives star married the businessman, who is also a father to three other children from his first marriage, in 2016.
Earlier this month, Eva slammed 'un-American' ICE deportations that have led to riots in Los Angeles as she spoke from France, where she was shooting for a TV show.
The city imposed a curfew across its riot-ravaged downtown in an effort to end pro-migrant protests, which gripped the city for five days.
From 8pm Tuesday 10th through to 6am Wednesday 11th, swathes of the city were under a strict lockdown as officers fought to regain control and stamp out widespread violence and destruction.
She spoke about the issue to her 10.6million Instagram followers in an extended clip earlier this month, admitting that while she was not physically in Los Angeles, her heart was with everyone impacted by the ongoing events.
Eva - who played the role of Gabrielle Solis on 180 episodes of the popular ABC series Desperate Housewives from 2004–2012 - said the events were 'hard to witness from afar.'
'I can't imagine what it's like to be in Los Angeles right now,' she shared. 'I can't believe it's happening in Austin, Texas. I can't believe it's happening all over the country.
'And the comments and people's reactions to it is really so surprising to me because it is un-American.'
The Mexican-American star said she was in a state of shock watching the events unfold, saying it went against the basic tenets America's forefathers laid out.
'We all can agree nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country - that's not what's happening,' said the Golden Globe-nominated actress.
Eva said that President Donald Trump was overreaching in his actions and had not stayed true to his campaign promise to deport only criminals.
'These roundups are happening in birthday parties, in elementary graduations, Home Depots - those are not criminals,' she added.

Tennis bad boy Bernard Tomic stuns his critics with four-year first as he tries to resurrect his career

The party was over years ago, and his name remains the object of criticism, not to say ridicule in many quarters, but veteran Australian bad-boy Bernard Tomic is plotting a quiet revival. It has been some time since he was making headlines, often for the wrong reasons, but he passed a modest professional milestone at the Mallorca Country Club on Tuesday. And brighter days could lie ahead for the 32-year-old, who has won four ATP titles and reached a high point of No.17 on the world rankings list in 2016. His Mallorca Open first-round defeat of fellow Australian Rinky Hijikata was his first win on the main Tour since the 2021 Australian Open. The world No.248, a qualifier at the Iberian tournament, will now face home hope Roberto Bautista Agut. Having narrowly missed the cut-off for Wimbledon qualifying, Tomic decided not to hang around in the hope of a late withdrawal in London. Instead, he packed his bags and headed to the Spanish island of Mallorca, home of 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal, and what he hoped would be another step on the long road back. Over the weekend he defeated Jasper De Jong, a Dutchman ranked 93 who recently won a round at the French Open, and Aleksandar Kovacevic, an American who sits at 77, to qualify for an event where the winner pockets A$250,000. Far from the big stages of sport, Tomic has been slogging it out on the tour backwaters in lower-level and Challenger events in an attempt to break back into the top 100. It is all a distance from his colourful - and troubled - life in the limelight. The talent was there, he was once heralded as one of Australia's most promising stars, but it was so often overshadowed by brushes with various branches of officialdom, bust-ups with spectators and accusations of tanking. He even made a much-derided and very short-lived appearance on the TV reality show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2018. On a darker side, there was the investigation for alleged match-fixing in 2022, though no charges were laid. Fast forward three years and perhaps a revival stirs. The Gold Coaster's defeat of Hijikata, who has already qualified for the main draw at Wimbledon, means he will jump to a spot just outside the top 200, which would put him in the frame to play in qualifying for the US Open in New York in late August.

Blake Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni is upended as he makes surprising legal move

The theater of battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni just narrowed with the announcement that he will not be amending the claims in his $400 million defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit that Baldoni, 41, filed against the 37-year-old actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist was dismissed by a judge earlier this month, but Baldoni was left with the option to amend some of the complaints in the lawsuit to refile it. But on Tuesday, his attorney Bryan Freedman announced that Baldoni would not be amending any of his complaints in the tossed-out lawsuit. In statement to Freedman said: 'The Court's decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth that there was no harassment nor any smear campaign, and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively's claims. 'Discovery is proceeding and we are confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations,' he continued. 'Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options that are available to us.' Despite her initial legal win when Baldoni's lawsuit was dismissed, Lively hasn't been letting up on her own lawsuit, and she recently sent out a bevy of new subpoenas. A spokesperson for Lively also responded to the news that Baldoni was stepping back from his failed attempt to countersue her in a statement to 'The Court dismissed the frivolous $400 million Baldoni–Wayfarer lawsuit in its entirety,' they said. 'In the days that followed, Baldoni's lawyer said the judge's decision to dismiss their case was not a big deal as they promised to amend and refile it. As per usual, that was not true,' her spokesperson continued. 'The Court's dismissal of Baldoni's sham lawsuit was a total victory after all.' Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's lawsuit two weeks ago, but he left the Jane The Virgin star a second opportunity to amend the suit by June 23. However, the judge ruled that he could only amend the allegations 'relevant to the claims of tortious interference with contract and breach of implied covenant.' The 132-page opinion broke down why the allegations in Baldoni's lawsuit were without merit, including the accusation that Lively, her husband and her publicist Leslie Sloane engaged in 'civil extortion.' 'The Wayfarer Parties cannot recover for Lively's alleged actions to steal creative control of the film from Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties. Regardless of the propriety of these actions, they do not constitute civil extortion under California law,' the judge says. 'California courts have recognized claim for civil extortion in situations where a plaintiff gives a defendant money or property under threat and seeks to have it returned. 'However, the Wayfarer Parties have not adequately alleged that Lively's threats were wrongful extortion rather than legally permissible hard bargaining or renegotiation of working conditions. Additionally, the Wayfarer Parties have not shown that some of Lively's allegedly extortionate acts damaged them.' When summarizing the extortion claim, the judge wrote: 'Lively, Sloane, and Reynolds have the better of the argument.' The judge also denied requests from Reynolds, Sloane and Vision PR for an award of attorney's fees and costs, in addition to a request from Lively for an award of attorney's fees, treble damages and punitive damages. The above motions were denied without prejudice in accordance with the ruling. Wayfarer Studios was founded by Baldoni and billionaire businessman Steve Sarowitz in 2019. A statement obtained at the time by from Blake Lively's attorneys read: 'Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it. 'We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.' In a statement obtained by a spokesperson for The New York Times said of the dismissal: 'We are grateful to the court for seeing the lawsuit against The New York Times for what it was: a meritless attempt to stifle honest reporting. 'Our journalists went out and covered carefully and fairly a story of public importance, and the court recognized that the law is designed to protect just that sort of journalism. We will continue to stand up in court for our journalism and for our journalists when their work comes under attack.' Liman also weighed in on the demands Lively sought on the set of It Ends With Us in order to prevent further discomfort on the set, with his opinion stating: 'Even if they turn out to be unneeded, an employee can insist on protections at workplace for sexual harassment without being accused of extortion. If an employer accedes, it cannot later claim to be a victim of the employee's wrongful threats.' Additionally, Liman said of the allegation that Lively threatened to not promote the film unless her cut was released, among other requests: 'There also is no allegation that Lively had a contractual obligation to promote the film; if not, there is no basis to assume that the value that she conveyed in terms of her willingness to promote represented anything other than a fair trade for the Wayfarer Parties' willingness to use her cut.' The court said that although statements made by Reynolds and Sloan were 'extraneous' or outside of the complaint, Baldoni failed to allege facts that they were made with actual malice, or that Reynolds and Sloane either knew their statements were false or acted in reckless disregard of their veracity. Another party that can breathe a sigh of relief after Baldoni's lawsuit was thrown out is Marvel Entertainment, LLC. Baldoni had subpoenaed the studio to get it to preserve any documents related to the Deadpool & Wolverine character Nicepool, which his legal team claimed was designed 'to mock, harass, ridicule, intimidate or bully' Baldoni. But after throwing out Baldoni's lawsuit, Liman agreed to Marvel's request to 'quash the subpoena issued to Marvel from [Baldoni's] Wayfarer Parties and for a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of Marvel's confidential documents.' Baldoni's team had send a letter requesting documents be retained to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Bob Iger, CEO of its parent company Walt Disney, on January 7. The legal battle between Lively and Baldoni officially erupted last year after rumors of tension between the two, with the actress accusing her co-star of sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, allegations Baldoni denied. In her lawsuit, Lively named a number of Baldoni's collaborators, including his company Wayfarer Studios, the studio's CEO and financial backer, and PR personnel Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel. 'I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,' Lively told The New York Times the day after she filed the complaint. Baldoni has denied the allegations brought about by Lively, while Lively, Reynolds and Sloane have denied the accusations made in litigation by Baldoni. Baldoni's team has released a website which includes private communications such as text messages that were included in court filings detailing his interactions with the Hollywood power couple over the making of the romantic drama. He claimed in court filings they made efforts to usurp and undermine his input as the director of It Ends with Us. Baldoni's team previously said that the communications shared in court filings on the website makes things clear about the motives of both parties. The website, which is live online at comes amid a spate of high-profile litigation between the collaborators on the film, which was a hit at the box office last August. Lively filed an 80-page civil rights complaint with the California Civil Rights Department against Baldoni on December 20, before officially filing a federal lawsuit on December 31. In her lawsuit, the Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her in multiple ways — including body shaming her — and orchestrating a smear campaign against her to damage her reputation. Baldoni told the court the trio had concocted 'false accusations of sexual harassment' against him. Baldoni and his reps have said in response to the lawsuit that Lively twisted the meaning of text messages and mislead the public about their interactions while making the motion picture. On June 3, revealed Lively, 37, dropped a claim of intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress against Baldoni. Baldoni subsequently sued the newspaper for $250 million in a defamation claim over a December 21 story titled '"We Can Bury Anyone": Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine ;' the newspaper has denied the allegations. Since Lively's complaint was filed, Baldoni has faced a number of professional consequences, including a lawsuit from a former publicist ; and being dropped by the agency WME , which also reps Lively and Reynolds. WME has denied claims that Lively and Reynolds leaned on them to release Baldoni from their client roster, according to Variety. It Ends with Us, which also starred Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Brandon Sklenar and Kevin McKidd, arrived in theaters August 9 and was a hit with audiences. The film, adapted from the 2016 Colleen Hoover novel, earned $148 million in domestic box office, and $350 million globally, according to Box Office Mojo. Lively broke out with the 2005 movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants opposite Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel and America Ferrera. That led to her high-profile role on the TV show Gossip Girl, which she starred on from 2007-2012, playing lead character Serena van der Woodsen. She has also appeared in movies such as 2010's The Town, 2016's The Shallows, 2018's A Simple Favor and 2020's The Rhythm Section. Prior to It Ends with Us, Baldoni was best known for playing the role of Rafael Solano on the TV show Jane the Virgin from 2014–2019. He also has directed films including 2019's Five Feet Apart and 2020's Clouds, and penned the 2021 book Man Enough, which tackled misconceptions of contemporary masculinity.

Busty Kim Kardashian looks unrecognizable in wild new SKIMS collaboration with mom Kris Jenner

Kim Kardashian put on a busty display as she was joined by her momager Kris Jenner in a wild campaign for the latest Roberto Cavalli x SKIMS campaign. The TV personality, 44 - who was recently mocked over her 'embarrassing' and 'weird' conversation with ChatGPT - jumped to her Instagram page on Tuesday to offer a glimpse at the upcoming swim collection which drops on Friday, June 27. The mom-of-four looked nearly unrecognizable as she went back to blonde with a curly bob instead of sporting her long, darker locks. In one image, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a scooped neckline and tiger print design. She pushed back her short hair with a thick, red headband while completing the look with gold earrings and a flashy gold bracelet. Kim struck a pose on an outdoor veranda that offered a scenic view in the background - with her mom, 69, also making an appearance in the photo shoot. She could be seen wearing a flowy coverup that fell down past her ankles and was also made with the same tiger print. A video was included in the post to show Jenner whispering into her daughter's ear as other models moved about behind them. The sound of Kris's voice was drowned out by the sound of what seemed to be loud cicadas - with the reel itself having a vintage filter. Another picture was taken inside a walk-in closet as Kardashian donned a skintight blue-patterned dress which clung to her frame and contained a plunging neckline on the front. She slipped into a pair of open-toed sandals while her momager wore another coverup with the same floral pattern. Jenner opted for a pair of open-toed, blue pumps and partially concealed her dark hair with a blue-printed scarf. Kim later turned up the heat in a printed bikini top as well as matching bottoms as she soaked up the warm sunshine while lounging on a chair outside. The reality star completed the look with a pair of blue pumps as well as fashionable shades. A male model and a dog could be seen in the background in the snap, as well as in an accompanying clip while Kardashian sipped on a refreshing drink. Kim and her mom Kris also paused for photos inside a retro-inspired kitchen - and the SKIMS founder continued to flaunt her summer-ready body in a bandeau top as well as matching bikini bottoms. She added a pair of fitted, capri leggings as Jenner wore a look made of the same print while sitting at a circular table. A short reel showed Kim grab a slice of toast from the table and she continued to nibble on the breakfast snack in an open doorway. Jenner was the forefront in one picture as she posed on a lounge chair inside a spacious living room. She wore an animal-print swimsuit and coverup while her daughter wore a similar one-piece ensemble on a chair not far behind her. The latest collection is described as: 'Roberto Cavalli's exotic Italian glamour merges with SKIMS signature silhouettes in this limited-edition collection that adds bold, sexy luxury to every swim look.' During a new interview with Vogue, the TV personality opened up about how the campaign with Cavalli came to be. 'Skims can be really simple; it's all about the fits and the materials and the way they make you feel, but when you go on vacation sometimes you want something different.' Kim added, 'We were making our own prints and I was just thinking, "You know what? There has to be some way to do a Skims Cavalli collab…"' The Kardashians star then explained that she decided to reach out to the creative director of the brand, Fausto Puglisi. 'I DM'd Fausto, "Hey what do you think of this idea?" the media personality recalled - which led to the collaboration coming to life. While also talking to the outlet, Kim discussed how her mom Kris also became a part of the campaign. 'She saw that I was looking at some of the samples as we were going through everything and she was like, "Oh my God, I want this and this." 'And I felt it was really a moment between me and her and we were like, "Wait, you have to be in the campaign," because Kris Jenner is the moment too,' the SKIMS founder said. The businesswoman - who recently graduated from law school - also predicted that the upcoming collection could attract consumers of all ages. 'I think this collection in particular is going to reach a broader age range, and I think that's super-important because there's no one more fabulous than my mom. It made me feel so good that she felt so good.' The star's SKIMS company is no stranger to working alongside luxury brands - and has launched previous collections with both Dolce & Gabbana as well as Fendi. Kim first launched the $4 billion company in 2019, and the brand will celebrate its sixth anniversary later this year in October. Along with focusing on SKIMS, the star has been keeping busy and recently enjoyed a trip to Las Cabos to celebrate her daughter North's 12th birthday earlier this month. She put on a stylish display on the lowkey getaway with her eldest child as they spent time on a lavish yacht. Kim is also on the rumored guest list for Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding set for later this week on June 27. The nuptials are slated to be held in Venice, Italy - and other guests that are expected to attend include Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey. Last month in May, Kim and her mom Kris notably attended Lauren's bachelorette bash in Paris. Other celebrities that were at the party were Eva Longoria and Katy Perry.
