Blonde bombshell best known for playing a Bond Girl is seen on a rare outing... can you guess who?
This actress looked nearly unrecognizable during a rare outing in Los Angeles over the weekend. The bombshell, now blonde, is best known for playing one of the iconic Bond girls in the 90s. Before she made her big break in the 007 film, she began pursuing a music career as a singer. The multi-talented star, who was also a model, is known for her one-hit wonder when her cover of the Shirley & Company song Shame, Shame, Shame became a European hit following the 1992 release. After gaining notoriety as a Bond girl, she went on to star in a series of action movies and thrillers, even playing a major role in The Exorcist prequel, Exorcist: The Beginning. She also played one of the cougars in the 2007 comedy Cougar Club alongside Kaley Cuoco and Faye Dunaway. This famous Bond girl's sighting comes just shortly after it was rumored that Sydney Sweeney was slated to be the next one in the 007 franchise. Can you guess who she is? She's Izabella Scorupco! The Polish-Swedish actress, now 55, is best known for having played a Bond girl in the 1995 film GoldenEye opposite Pierce Brosnan's James Bond. In GoldenEye, she plays the main Bond girl, the redhead bombshell Natalya Simonova, a programmer who helps James Bond foil the Janus crime syndicate's plot. She was 25 years old at the time while Brosnan was 42 when he debuted as 007 in GoldenEye before going on to retire the role nearly a decade later at age 51. She also starred in the films, survival thriller Vertical Limit (2000) and post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick Reign of Fire (2002). The blonde actress was spotted stepping out on Friday alongside her 27-year-old daughter Julia Czerkawski. For their casual outing, the model put on a casual display and wore baggy clothes for comfort. Her street style look consisted of a Justin Bieber T-shirt paired with dark blue track pants and slip-on slides. She carried a black bag on her shoulder as well as a cream jacket on her arm and her phone in her hand. She kept her other hand free to show affection for her daughter.

UK Post-Punks SHAME Share New Single + Video 'Quiet Life'
Today, shame release 'Quiet Life', the second single/video from their new album Cutthroat, out 5th September via Dead Oceans. On the heels of title track, 'Cutthroat', praised by DIY as 'Crashing in with an urgent, alluring energy, shame's return is here to blow the cobwebs away…,' 'Quiet Life' is a snarling rockabilly track in the vein of The Gun Club and The Cramps. Of the track, vocalist Charlie Steen says: ''Quiet Life' is about someone in a shitty relationship. It's about the judgment they receive and the struggle that they have to go through, trying to understand the conflict they face, of wanting a better life… but being stuck.' In the song's opening lines, Steen sings, 'Spent too much time on my knees. / Round here nothing's good for me, / But I still can't make the choice to leave.' The video, directed by Pedro Takahashi and produced by FRIEND, features the band and friends venting their pent-up frustrations in a run-down office building. Cutthroat is Shame at their blistering best; an unapologetic new album made with Grammy winning producer John Congleton at the helm. 'It's about the cowards, the cunts, the hypocrites,' says vocalist Charlie Steen. 'Let's face it, there's a lot of them around right now.' Still in their twenties and having proved themselves several times over via legendary live shows and three critically-acclaimed albums, the five childhood friends - Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist Josh Finerty and drummer Charlie Forbes - went into Cutthroat ready to create a new Ground Zero. 'This is about who we are,' says Steen. 'Our live shows aren't performance art - they're direct, confrontational and raw. That's always been the root of us. We live in crazy times. But it's not about 'Poor me.' It's about 'Fuck you'.' Crucial to this incendiary new outlook was producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen). From their initial meeting, Congleton's no-bullshit approach became a guiding force to streamline the band's ideas. Stamped throughout with Shame's trademark sense of humour, the album takes on the big issues of today and gleefully toys with them. With Trump in the Whitehouse and Shame holed up in Salvation Studios in Brighton, they cast a merciless eye on themes of conflict and corruption; hunger and desire; lust, envy and the omnipresent shadow of cowardice. Musically, too, the record plays with visceral new ideas. Making electronic music on tour for fun, Coyle-Smith had previously seen the loops he was crafting as a separate entity to the things he wrote for Shame. Then, he realised, maybe they didn't have to be. 'This time, anything could go if it sounded good and you got it right,' he says. Musically, too, the record plays with visceral new ideas.

The result is an album that revels in the idiosyncrasies of life, raising an eyebrow and asking the ugly questions that so often get tactfully brushed over. But the one answer that Cutthroat gives with a resounding flourish is that, right now, shame have never sounded better.

Deborra-Lee Furness files to divorce Hugh Jackman 2 years after split
Hugh Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, filed for divorce in New York, nearly two years after the pair announced they were ending their 27-year marriage. Furness, 69, filed for divorce on Friday in Suffolk County Supreme Court, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The outlet reports the divorce will be finalized once the judge signs off on the complaint and other documents Furness submitted — filings regarding continuing health care coverage, a medical child support order, the New York State child support registry form, the exes' settlement deal, a proposed judgement of divorce and official certificate of dissolution. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' star and award-winning 'Shame' actress met in 1995, working on the Australian miniseries 'Correlli,' and married the following year. They later adopted son Oscar and daughter Ava, now 25 and 19 respectively. In September 2023, the couple announced their separation in a joint statement to People. 'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' the actors said at the time. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. … We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness.' Jackman sparked romance rumors with his 'Music Man' co-star Sutton Foster as far back as 2022, though the Broadway stars only confirmed their relationship earlier this year. Furness' filing comes seven months after 50-year-old Foster filed to divorce screenwriter Ted Griffin in October, after a decade of marriage. The exes share daughter Emily, whom they also welcomed via adoption. Prior to Griffin, Foster was married to fellow Broadway veteran Christian Borle, who, like Jackman and the 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' actress, has won two Tony Awards. ___ © 2025 New York Daily News.
