    Denise Richards shows off Halloween costume following $200,000 facelift compared to 'head transplant'

    Denise Richards has rolled back the years with her Halloween costume as people said she looked 'exactly how they remembered' from movies she was in decades ago.

    Halloween has been and gone and plenty of celebrities take the chance to put some effort into dressing up, though Heidi Klum is surely the final boss of distinctive costumes as this year she went as her own severed hand.

    Richards, 55, went for a more feline look as she had her hair done and donned a pair of cat ears, showing off the results to her followers on social media.

    It's led to people telling her she looks like she's 'aging backwards' and 'looks 23 again', and though the folks doing her hair and makeup deserve some of the credit the $200,000 facelift she had last year also warrants a mention.

    Others told her that she still looks the same as she did in the 1997 movie Starship Troopers, where she appeared alongside Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer and Neil Patrick Harris as part of a cast that has aged phenomenally well.

    Richards explained that she'd had the facelift in June 2025, the month before ex-husband Aaron Phypers filed for divorce.

    She told The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show she was 'so glad' she'd been open about the facelift and keeping people in the loop about the change in her appearance.

    “I didn't know how people would react, but I think I want to know what everyone's doing. What's peptides, what's this, what's that,” she said.

    The actor had previously told Allure that she'd always told herself she'd never get one because her image was 'how I make my money' and she was 'always scared of a facelift' because it was the part of the body that couldn't be covered if it went 'a little sideways'.

    It took two years of deliberation before she decided to do it and went through with the surgery.

    While movie fans will know her from the likes of The World Is Not Enough or Love Actually, these days she's appearing on TV in The Bold and the Beautiful, and last year announced that she'd joined OnlyFans to follow in her daughter's footsteps.

    That latter decision is something her ex-husband picked at when filing for divorce, as he called for spousal support which would have meant her giving him some of her revenue from the website.

    He'd cited 'irreconcilable differences' and as well as a monthly stipend he'd also asked for his power tools and a motorbike.

    Barbara Palvin says ‘everyone's postpartum journey is different’ after receiving mixed comments for stepping out for Victoria’s Secret six weeks after giving birth.

    The Hungarian model defended her decision at the Sprouse House Halloween Party alongside husband Dylan Sprouse.

    “Honestly, there were 50-50 with the reactions. Some people loved that I was back, and some people were like, maybe I should be resting at home,” the 33-year-old, who welcomed daughter Sylvie in September, told E! News.

    “Everyone's postpartum journey is different and this is just mine.”

    After Palvin stormed the runway in semi-sheer lingerie, she said she felt ‘overwhelmed’ by all the different reactions.

    “I'm lucky that I have the support from my husband and my family, and they were able to get me there,” she added.

    “Don't be scared to ask for help.”

    “It’s been a ride, like a fun one, but also scary. It’s like a roller coaster, I guess,” she said, adding that Sprouse, 34, is a natural ‘girl dad’.

    “Dylan’s great. He always wanted to be a dad, and I think he’s amazing as a girl dad,” she said.

    “I think he was meant to be a girl dad. He didn’t know it before, but he was meant to be one.

    “He’s stepping into the role. We’re both learning. It’s a big adjustment. We’re trying our best.”

    Sprouse and Palvin started dating in June 2018 after he initially contacted her through Instagram. She waited six months before responding.

    The couple moved in together in 2019 and became engaged in September 2022. After tying the knot in Hungary in July 2023, with 115 guests, the pair recently welcomed their first child together.

    Palvin added to Page Six: “Funny enough, my body bounced back — luckily — really quickly. And I think it’s because I’ve never been healthier.

    “During pregnancy, I really wanted to make sure baby girl was healthy, so I only did organic foods.

    “And now postpartum, because I’m breastfeeding, I wanted to make sure I was eating good. So that’s how I prepped: I just let my body heal on its own and did some light exercises, but nothing crazy.”

  • Jack Lowden responds to claims he’s the ‘clear favourite’ to play James Bond

    Jack Lowden responds to claims he's the 'clear favourite' to play James Bond

    Jack Lowden has spoken out about rumours that he is the favourite to take on the role of James Bond.

    The iconic role has been vacant since Daniel Craig's final appearance in 2021's No Time to Die, with Craig since having taken on the role of the verbose southern detective Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out films on Netflix.

    But now speculation is rife over who will be the next person to don the tuxedo, gadget watch, and Walther PPK pistol in the next iteration of the long-running character.

    Seven actors have played the role, each bringing a different feel, whether it's more outlandish plots featuring space lasers and killer piranhas, or the grittier approach taken in the Craig films.

    Now, reports have suggested that casting is approaching the final stages, with Lowden, Callum Turner, and Josh O’Connor rumoured to be undergoing screen tests for the role.

    Lowden's role in the ongoing Apple TV series Slow Horses, itself a spy thriller, though one with fewer Vesper Martinis and more greasy kebabs and foul language, has led to him being considered a frontrunner for Bond, something his Slow Horses co-star Gary Oldman has also remarked on.

    Oldman spoke to a press junket saying that he believed that Bond has now been cast, and that he hopes it is Lowden who has bagged the role.

    Since Oldman's remarks, the rumour mill has of course gone into overdrive, and Lowden has himself commented, and though he's remained tightlipped on the matter, he hasn't said that he's definitely not Bond, either.

    “On this… It’s all very flattering. It’s nice to be mentioned – for any role – and I’m just not really going to add to the noise,” he told GQ.

    "It’s very nice, and Gary’s a sweetheart – it’s particularly lovely, coming from someone like him. But I don’t really listen to it."

    He added: “As a young male actor, generally, the minute you’re not playing a zany artist type, the minute you’re in a suit, people fling it at you.”

    The show Slow Horses follows the titular department, who are a detail of spies who have wound up in the dead end department through incompetence, bad luck, or annoying the wrong person.

    Lowden's performance as River Cartwright, a young spy who is assigned to the inept 'Slow Horses' detail as punishment after messing up during a training exercise, has proven the perfect foil to Oldman's portrayal of the potty-mouthed, greasy-haired, kebab-scoffing spymaster Jackson Lamb.

    The show has proven very successful, with six seasons out so far, and has also previously led to speculation that Lowden may take on the biggest spy role going.

    But if he's not giving anything away now, he certainly wasn't giving anything away after Craig left the role.

    Back in 2023, two years after Craig's final appearance in No Time to Die, he told LADBible sister title UNILAD: “I still really am not over the fact that Daniel Craig doesn't do it anymore.

    “I think an older James Bond would be fantastic. That's where Jackson Lamb is maybe going to start a new breed of spies.

    “It should either still be Daniel Craig, or maybe we should go the way of more Jackson Lamb.”

  • Samidoh Responds to Edday Nderitu’s Heartfelt Birthday Message Amid Reconciliation

    Samidoh Responds to Edday Nderitu’s Heartfelt Birthday Message Amid Reconciliation

    Musician and politician Samuel Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh, has responded warmly to a birthday message from his wife, Edday Nderitu, in another public display of affection as the couple continue to rebuild their relationship.

    Edday took to Instagram to celebrate Samidoh’s birthday, sharing a heartfelt tribute in which she wished him well and reflected on the bond they share.

    In her message, she wrote:

    “May this new chapter of your life bring you wisdom, peace, success, good health, and countless reasons to smile.”

    She went on to reflect on the significance of their relationship, adding:

    “Life has a beautiful way of reminding us that some connections are bigger than ourselves, and some roles remain meaningful regardless of where life takes us.”

    Edday concluded the tribute with another affectionate message, writing:

    “You deserve beautiful things, today and always. Happy Birthday Mhesh.”

    Samidoh responded directly in the comments section, expressing his appreciation with the words: “Thankyou soo much, Njambi wa Mhesh.”

    The musician also acknowledged other birthday wishes on his main social media profile, writing:

    “The gift of life and good health is never something to take for granted.”

    The affectionate exchange comes after years of public relationship challenges involving the couple, who had been married for approximately 15 years before their differences became widely publicised.

    Their marital difficulties attracted considerable attention following Samidoh’s relationship with nominated Senator Karen Nyamu.

    In February 2023, Edday addressed the situation publicly, revealing that she had endured years of pain and humiliation. She also made it clear that she was unwilling to raise her children in a polygamous arrangement.

    Later that year, Edday relocated to the United States with their children, resulting in an extended period of physical separation from Samidoh.

    Despite the difficult period, the couple’s public interactions have appeared increasingly cordial in recent months.

    Reports indicated that they began spending time together during Samidoh’s tours in the United States, prompting speculation that they were working towards restoring their marriage.

    Earlier in 2026, the two appeared together during a live video broadcast, where they shared a kiss and interacted warmly with fans. Edday has also referred to Samidoh as her husband during recent broadcasts.

    Her latest birthday tribute, followed by Samidoh’s affectionate response, adds to the public signs of improved relations between the two.
