Janice Dickinson, 70, posed for Playboy while dating stars like Rob Lowe and Sylvester Stallone... see her now
is a 70-year-old supermodel from the 1980s who used to have the world on a string. The siren was one of the world's top talents, appearing on the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Vogue. The brunette bombshell also posed for Playboy magazine. Dickinson was a top choice to pose for high-end fashion houses such as Versace, Oscar de la Renta and Calvin Klein. And the Brooklyn native was savvy enough to turn her modeling career into TV work: She was a judge on America's Next Top Model and appeared on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. Janice was also the star of her own reality TV series, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency that ran from 2006 to 2008, named after the business she opened in 2005. The No Lifeguard On Duty author was seen running errands alone in Los Angeles on Sunday. Dickinson had on a navy blue short-sleeved T-shirt with cut-off blue denim shorts as she left a drugstore with plastic bags. The mannequin added a beige visor and black sunglasses with white sneakers as she held onto a water bottle. She's currently married to Dr Robert 'Rocky' Gerner, an LA-based psychiatrist. They tied the knot in 2016 after Dickinson revealed that she had beaten breast cancer. She went through a six-month course of radiation and two lumpectomies. Dickinson has a wild romantic past that involved a big Hollywood star. In 1994, Sylvester Stallone and Dickinson had a fling while he was in a relationship with his now-wife Jennifer Flavin. They met a year prior at a charity event and Stallone eventually left Flavin to be with the top model. They got engaged but Stallone called it off six months later after learning that he was not the father of her daughter Savannah, who was born in February 1994, as per The Mirror. It was later revealed that businessman Michael Birnbaum, whom Dickinson dated in the early 1990s, was Savannah's biological father. Stallone rekindled his relationship with Flavin in 1995 and they tied the knot 1997. Dickinson hasn't been shy about her love of plastic surgery, having previously spent thousands of dollars on procedures to defy the aging process. In June she talked to Kaitlyn Bristowe's Off The Vine podcast. Janice said that she got her very first cosmetic surgery at age 32 while dating Stallone. 'What point in your career were you like, "I'm gonna start getting surgery done?"' Bristowe asked. 'Oh, gosh. I was dating Sylvester Stallone, and I was 32,' Dickinson replied. 'I noticed I started getting jowls...' To tackle the issue, Dickinson got a 'mini face-lift' done. A mini face-lift is meant to address early signs of aging as it corrects sagging on the lower third of the face. It requires smaller incisions than a regular face-lift, minimal downtime and the results can last up to 10 years. Dickinson recommended that Bristowe — who she said she felt she was 'at that age' where jowls start to become a concern — should also go the mini face-lift route. 'Get a mini face lift. It kept me going up until last week when I noticed [my lip lines]. I did smoke for a bit. Don't smoke. It's bad for you,' she said. The star was seen running errands alone in Los Angeles on Sunday When asked if she 'regrets' any of her past surgeries, Dickinson replied: 'Oh, no.' Dickinson is an open book when it comes to her cosmetic procedures. She previously admitted on E!'s Botched that she's 'no stranger to plastic surgery' as she's previously undergone a boob job, a tummy tuck, neck and face-lifts and liposuction. She's also tried injectables like Botox but insists that her plump pout is natural. In 2013, Dickinson declared herself bankrupt owing almost $1 million in taxes and unpaid cosmetic bills. At the time of her bankruptcy filing, the star owed $8,000 to Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein and over $8,000 in debt to the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center. In 2007 her son Nathan said he was desperate for her to stop, but she said: 'I won't do any more plastic surgery – if he's looking.' In 2015 she appeared on Botched to fix a breast enlargement done 30 years prior which had left her with rippling across her breasts.

Hulk Hogan never regretted his Gawker court case, despite racism scandal
Hulk Hogan never regretted his lawsuit against Gawker Media, despite the leaked tape exposing racist comments he made. The two-time WWE Hall of Fame wrestler passed away on July 24 at the age of 71 from a cardiac arrest following a period of ill health caused by an adverse reaction to surgery on his neck that happened in June. Tributes have flooded in from his fellow wrestlers, such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash and Triple H, US President Donald Trump and celebrities, including Sylvester Stallone who Hogan starred with in 1982 film Rocky III. Stallone, 79, said: 'I had the pleasure of meeting this brilliant personality and showman when he was 26 years old. 'He was absolutely wonderful and his amazing skill made Rocky III incredibly special. My heart breaks." Despite the outpouring of love, some of the latter years of Hogan's life were mired in controversy and in 2013 he famously sued Gawker Media for $100 million after the online outlet posted a video clip in October 2012 of him having sex with Heather Clem - the now ex-wife of his former friend Bubba 'The Love Sponge' Clem. In 2015, a transcript from the tape was leaked revealing Hogan using the 'N-word' during a conversation about his daughter Brooke Hogan's then-boyfriend. The exposed comments led to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) terminating his contract and avoiding association with him for three years until he returned in 2018. Although the lawsuit against Gawker led to the comments becoming public knowledge and resulted in some fans refusing to forgive him for his mistake, Hulk - real name Terry Bollea - believed that taking Gawker to court was the right thing to do because it was a "moral" crusade for him. In an interview conducted with Philip Hamilton in November 2015 for BANG Showbiz, Hulk said: "I think this type of journalism has no place (in society) and needs to stop. "At first it was a business thing and I thought, 'Should I stop here? Or keep going?' And then it was more than that to me, then it became personal ... It definitely is a moral issue." Asked if he had regrets about taking the case all the way to court, he added: "You know what I've thought about that back and forth, and back and forth, and it's a tough one because I knew the obstacles that were in my way. I knew there were things that might happen and they did happen. I had thought all that through already. It's a situation of you know who your friends are, you understand the political environment, the social environment and the political correctness we have now. "But at the end of the day there's a lot of people out there doing stuff they shouldn't be doing and destroying lives and once I really dug into this thing and saw what my opponent (Gawker) was all about, I decided this type of behaviour just can't go on. "You just can't have, you know, paparazzi and stuff and hiring peeping toms to film you when you get off work or when you're in the shower, it's got to be stopped." The tape had been secretly recorded in 2007 when Hogan was suffering from depression in the wake of his wife Linda Hogan filing for divorce and his son Nick's arrest and subsequent imprisonment over a serious car crash. Hulk admitted he was at the lowest point in his life when he made his misguided comments and had even contemplated ending things as he hit rock bottom. Hogan had been seeking $100 million for defamation, loss of privacy, and emotional pain from Gawker. He won the court case and on March 18, 2016, was awarded $115 million. In November 2016, Gawker reached a $31 million settlement with Hogan.

The 10 best prisoner-of-war dramas, from Stalag 17 to Colditz
Being a prisoner of war is a fate no one could wish for and films and TV dramas won't let us forget that. Whether in the bleak chilliness of central Europe or the steaming jungles of Burma, the plight of the PoW on-screen is one of torture and sadism at the hands of their military captors. The Narrow Road to the Deep North, showing on BBC1/iPlayer and based on Richard Flanagan's searing novel, is just the latest example. But there's often light in the dark — gallows humour and no shortage of British pluck — as this list below shows. 10. Escape to Victory (1981) It still sounds absurd: Sylvester Stallone in goal, Michael Caine at left back, Bobby Moore at centre half, Pele up front, all taking on a Nazi team. But come on, this bank holiday matinee favourite is highly enjoyable. The plot isn't so far-fetched either, being inspired by a real story: the 'death match' between the Ukrainian team and a Nazi German side in 1942 in occupied Kyiv. The Ukrainians won 5-3. Rent Tenko 9. Tenko (1981-84) The travails of the malnourished women internees as they were roasted in an Asian internment camp after the fall of Singapore in 1942 were popular in the 1980s (about 15 million viewers). It wasn't so much the sight of boils, scorpion bites and torturous labour that kept us glued to it, more the intimate interplay between the women. U 8. Colditz (1972-74) The 1955 film The Colditz Story was the fourth most popular at the British box office that year. Yet it was in the early 1970s that escape from Colditz-mania really took off thanks to the TV series starring David McCallum, Robert Wagner and Edward Hardwicke. Most affecting is Michael Bryant as Wing Commander George Marsh, who feigns madness to get repatriated. It works, except it leads to a genuine psychosis and he is committed to a mental hospital. DVD 7. Empire of the Sun (1987) Christian Bale was impressive on screen even at the age of 13. In Steven Spielberg's take on JG Ballard's semi-fictional memoir — about his boyhood internment during the Japanese invasion of China — some of the best moments come when Bale's expat finds himself bonding with John Malkovich's brash American Basie in the camp (and look out for a young Ben Stiller). It's worth revisiting. Bale would later turn PoW again in Werner Herzog's 2006 jungle-survival film Rescue Dawn, also pretty good. Rent 6. Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983) A cult classic more for its musical connections — a blond David Bowie on the poster and Ryuichi Sakamoto's celebrated synth soundtrack. Yet there's still much curiosity in a tale of Bowie's eccentric English free spirit defying the strict, code-bound cruelties of Captain Yonoi (Sakamoto). An oddity, but Akira Kurosawa and Christopher Nolan put this among their favourite films, so who am I to argue? Rent 5. The Deer Hunter (1978) Michael Cimino's portrait of a Pennsylvania community wrecked by a war far away slowly builds a sense of dread before exploding into its famed central sequence in Vietnam. No matter how many times you see it, when Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and John Savage's characters — taken captive by the Viet Cong — are forced to play Russian roulette, your heart is in your mouth. StudioCanal Comedy leavens the suffering in Stalag 17 ALAMY 4. Stalag 17 (1953) The original Second World War PoW film set the template for others, but it still has a feel of its own. The director Billy Wilder's sharp eye for comedy means there's a knockabout fun to the scenes inside Barrack Four as the American prisoners try to keep up morale — 'I'll get you a date with Betty Grable!' Even the camp commandant is played by Otto Preminger as a twinkly-eyed buffoon. There is grit undercutting the humour, of course. Rent 3. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) Long before The Narrow Road to the Deep North depicted Burma's Death Railway we had Alec Guinness's stiff-upper-lipped English colonel leading a battalion of British PoWs as they toil away at a bridge. His stubborn national pride in the face of gruelling sadism means the Brits build a better bridge than their captors could. The face-offs between Guinness's Colonel Nicholson and his nemesis Colonel Saito, played by Sessue Hayakawa, are what endure. Sky/Now 2. La Grande Illusion (1937) Jean Renoir's classic is like a Great Escape from a more civilised age. Erich von Stroheim is unforgettable as the stiff-backed German aristocrat who treats his imprisoned French counterpart Captain De Boieldieu with gentlemanly respect. There's a great clip on YouTube of Orson Welles telling Dick Cavett that this film would be on his ark if he could save only two. The other? 'Something else,' he says. DVD 1. The Great Escape (1963) How true to life was the most loved PoW epic of all? Apparently by March 1944, when 76 men tunnelled out, the German guards knew the war was nearly over and were happy to be bribed with cigarettes. And in the tunnels the men's poor diet meant that their bowels were so loose they often had to go to the loo right there and then, which I don't recall happening to Charles Bronson. No matter, Steve McQueen on a motorbike is immortal and that theme tune became the whistled soundtrack to every great escape since. Sky/Now
