Sofía Vergara Sunbathes Topless in Thong Bikini
It's that time of the year again, aka when celebrities decide to go on a mission to make everyone jealous of their vacations and pools. Enter Sofía Vergara, who posted a photo of herself lounging poolside topless in just a thong bikini. A photo, by the way, that has apparently been deemed too steamy for Instagram, to the point where they've censored it unless you're over the age of 18. While we're here, Sofía just opened up on the Today Show (via People) about dating following her divorce from Joe Manganiello, saying she's looking for "basic stuff" in her next relationship. "I want to say the basic stuff, like health and somebody that loves me," she said. "And somebody tall, handsome. I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it's a nightmare. They end up resenting you." The Modern Family alum added that she wants "somebody fun" and noted "I've been single now for a year and a half, and I kind of panicked once I got divorced. I was like, 'I'm 52, what's gonna happen? Where am I going to find [someone]?' I'm not really in a hurry anymore." Sofía and Joe split in 2023, and Sofia was then linked to orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. They went public on Instagram but seemingly split sometime in late 2024, at least based on Sofía telling Access Hollywood she was manifesting "health, money, a boyfriend" back in January!

Modern Family actor Rico Rodriguez shares how onscreen mom Sofía Vergara ‘played' him: ‘I was literally Manny'
Actor Rico Rodriguez, who portrayed Manny Delgado on Modern Family for all 11 seasons, recently shared a funny behind-the-scenes story about his longtime costar Sofía Vergara, who played his onscreen mother, Gloria. Speaking on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast Dinner's On Me, Rico revealed how he ended up helping Sofía with her script markings—and how he got cleverly 'played' in the process. Rico recalled that he often arrived on set already knowing everyone's lines, including Sofia's, which came in handy since Sofía sometimes 'goes off the rails' with her improvisation. 'She would go off the rails and then she would go, 'Rico, what's my line?'' he said, explaining how he would help her get back on track. He also noted she would ask him about their next call time, showing how much she relied on him. A post shared by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler) The real twist came when Sofía was late to a table read. 'Being the nice person that I am, Sofía was late … I was like, 'I know how she marks her lines on her script … you know what, let me be nice and let me mark her script for her,'' Rico recounted. Sofia was grateful, even pinching his cheeks in thanks. But the following week, when Sofía was on time, Rico sat down to mark his own script—and was surprised when she said, 'Rico, you didn't mark my script.' He replied, 'What? I didn't know I was supposed to. I did it one time 'cause I was nice!' At that moment, Sofia handed over her script, and everyone's eyes were on Rodriguez as he helped her again. 'I was literally Manny at that point helping out Sofía,' he laughed. Despite the playful trick, Rico said he loved working with Sofía and didn't mind helping. On the same podcast, Rico also spoke about the support he received from Ed O'Neill, who played family patriarch Jay Pritchett. Early in the series, Rico remembered struggling with a line and feeling frustrated. 'I was like overthinking everything … I'm like, 'oh, I'm the reason why we're not doing good.' And I'm like on the verge of crying…' Ed stepped in to help. 'He was like, 'Alright, stop, cut the cameras. Go sit down.' He brought me to the side and said, 'Here's what you're having trouble with. Repeat after me. Try it like this,'' Rico recalled. They worked on it until Ed gave him a reassuring wink and said, 'I got you, don't worry.'

Rico Rodriguez shares backstage secrets with Sofía Vergara and Ed O'Neill on Modern Family
Modern Family star Rico Rodriguez is reminiscing about his days on the popular sitcom—and he's dishing out some funny and sweet anecdotes about working with his legendary co-stars. On the June 2 edition of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's On Me podcast, the then 26-year-old actor dished on life on the Modern Family set, including how he was playfully "tricked" by his on-screen mom, Sofía Vergara. "I got duped, man. I love Sofia, but I was played. I got played by Sofía," Rodriguez joked when reminiscing about an early memory during the first season of the show. At a table read during season one, Rodriguez took it upon himself to assist when Vergara was late. "Being the sweet person that I am, Sofía was late to the table [read]," he said. "I was like, 'I know how she marks her lines on her script … you know what, let me be sweet and let me mark her script for her.'" The thoughtfulness was welcome at first. "She arrives and she's like, 'Oh, thank you, Rico,' and pinches my cheeks and whatever," he added. But it didn't stop there. "The next week she's on time. So I sit down, I'm marking my sides, and then we start the read and when it comes to Sofía, she goes, 'Rico, you didn't mark my script.'" "I say, 'Huh, I didn't know I was supposed to. I did it once 'cause I was being kind.' And so she's giving me her script and now everyone's staring at me because it's literally her line coming up." Laughing, Rodriguez said, "This was season one. I was literally Manny at that point assisting Sofía." The lighthearted moment is one of several recollections Rodriguez cherishes from his 11-year tenure on the Emmy-winning ABC sitcom, which ran from 2009 to 2020. Apart from the humor, he also told a very personal anecdote about his relationship with Ed O'Neill , who portrayed his TV stepfather Jay Pritchett. "He really took me under his wing," Rodriguez explained. "There was one time … early on, probably first season where I was having issues with this one line …" Rodriguez remembered the anxiety of taking many takes and receiving constant direction, which made him feel overwhelmed. "I'm like overthinking everything, you know? I'm like, 'Oh, I'm the reason why we're not doing good.' And I'm like on the verge of crying…" Although he did not complete the story in the podcast clip, his tone made it unmistakable that O'Neill's guidance and steady demeanor sustained him during those difficult initial moments. Having long since matured and looking back on the experience with affection and humor, Rodriguez's tales illustrate the unique combination of family, play, and education that made Modern Family such an extraordinary moment in television history—and his own life.

Spanish royals posts picture as princess graduates from Welsh college
Spanish royals posts picture as princess graduates from Welsh college Princess Sofía, 18, has spent the last two years at a boarding school in the Vale of Glamorgan Queen Letizia, Infanta Sofía and King Felipe VI of Spain (Image: Casa de S.M. el Rey ) The King and Queen of Spain paid a lowkey visit to Wales over the weekend when they attended their daughter Princess Sofía's graduation ceremony from a Welsh boarding school. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia's youngest daughter followed in the footsteps of her sister Leonor, Princess of Asturias, by attending Atlantic College. Infanta Sofía of Spain, 18, started studying for her International Baccalaureate at the school in St Donat's Castle, in the Vale of Glamorgan, just a few months after her sister graduated. Princess Leonor, 19, is now in the middle of her three-year military education where she is undertaking army, naval and air force training in preparation for her role as Spain's commander-in-chief. The heir to the throne did however send her younger sister a celebratory video from a Spanish navy training ship, Juan Sebastián de Elcano, which was posted on social media alongside a series of photos and videos of the pair over the years. Content cannot be displayed without consent Atlantic College has educated several foreign royals, including King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Princess Raiyah of Jordan. First Minister Eluned Morgan also attended the school through a scholarship. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . Article continues below The Times reported that Sofía's tutor at the school said she had become a "supportive companion". They added: "A true friend in difficult times … we will miss Sofía's warmth and vibrant spirit very much." The Spanish royal family posted an array of photos from the special day. Sofía and her mum were matching in bright red outfits. Sofía opted for a one-shoulder red jumpsuit, whilst Queen Letizia was in a bright red suit. King Felipe VI wore a lightly checked suit with a colourful tie. When the royals announced they would be sending Sofía to the prestigious school, they said the two years of education would cost £66,000. Atlantic College is located just outside of Llantwit Major (Image: WalesOnline/Rob Browne ) Atlantic College has been described by some as "the best kept secret in education" and enrols pupils from a variety of backgrounds including princesses, children of millionaires and refugees. Article continues below The school was set up to bring people from entirely different lives together and show they can work together. Therefore, each year half the students are fee paying and half are on a scholarship. Roughly half the students per year are also refugees ensuring a diverse education.

OnlyFans Model Shocked After Finding Her Pictures With AI-Swapped Faces on Reddit
An OnlyFans creator is speaking out after discovering that her photos were stolen by someone who used deepfake tech to give her a completely new face — and posted the deepfaked images all over Reddit. As 25-year-old, UK-based OnlyFans creator Bunni told Mashable, image theft is a common occurrence in her field. Usually, though, catfishers would steal and share Bunni's image without alterations. In this case, the grift was sneakier. With the help of deepfake tools, a scammer crafted an entirely new persona named "Sofía," an alleged 19-year-old in Spain who had Bunni's body — but an AI-generated face. It was "a completely different way of doing it that I've not had happen to me before," Bunni, who posted a video about the theft on Instagram back in February, told Mashable. "It was just, like, really weird." It's only the latest instance of a baffling trend, with "virtual influencers" pasting fake faces onto the bodies of real models and sex workers to sell bogus subscriptions and swindle netizens. Using the fake Sofía persona, the scammer flooded forums across Reddit with fake images and color commentary. Sometimes, the posts were mundane; "Sofía" asked for outfit advice and, per Mashable, even shared photos of pets. But Sofía also posted images to r/PunkGirls, a pornographic subreddit. Sofía never shared a link to another OnlyFans page, though Bunni suspects that the scammer might have been looking to chat with targets via direct messages, where they might have been passing around an OnlyFans link or requesting cash. And though Bunni was able to get the imposter kicked off of Reddit after reaching out directly to moderators, her story emphasizes how easy it is for catfishers to combine AI with stolen content to easily make and distribute convincing fakes. "I can't imagine I'm the first, and I'm definitely not the last, because this whole AI thing is kind of blowing out of proportion," Bunni told Mashable. "So I can't imagine it's going to slow down." As Mashable notes, Bunni was somewhat of a perfect target: she has fans, but she's not famous enough to trigger immediate or widespread recognition. And for a creator like Bunni, pursuing legal action might not be a feasible or even worthwhile option. It's expensive, and right now, the law itself is still catching up. "I don't feel like it's really worth it," Bunni told Mashable. "The amount you pay for legal action is just ridiculous, and you probably wouldn't really get anywhere anyway, to be honest." Reddit, for its part, didn't respond to Mashable's request for comment. More on deepfakes: Gross AI Apps Create Videos of People Kissing Without Their Consent
