90s movie pin-up, 55, has barely aged a day as she strips down to tiny bikini 26 years after iconic role
ONE of the biggest movie sex symbols of the nineties turned up the heat as she holidayed in Sardinia, Italy this weekend. Heather Graham, 55, showed off her ageless figure in a tiny red bikini as she enjoyed a beach day. 8 Famed for her roles in such iconic moves as Boogie Nights, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and The Hangover, Heather made the most of the sizzling summer heatwave. Turning heads as she strutted her stuff along the golden sands, the blonde beauty cooled off with a dip in the waves. And the actress looks no different than she did almost three decades ago as the iconic Felicity Shagwell in the Mike Myers spy spoof. Heather, who also won praise for her turn as Boogie Nights' Roller Girl, was in town to attend the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival, where she is part of the jury in the short film competition. But before hitting the red carpet, she made sure to soak up some rays and top up her tan. After plunging into the azure blue waters, she looked like a Bond girl as she emerged from the sea while pulling her blonde tresses back from her face. Heather then dried off on her lounger before slipping on a pair of pink shorts. The move star has previously spoken about her conflicting feelings about being cast in a string of sexy roles in the nineties. 'On one hand, it was fun, because I grew up feeling nerdy and like I wasn't the attractive girl at school," she told The Guardian last month. "I felt flattered; I felt like I was playing a character, like I was pretending to be this attractive actress. Underneath it all, I really felt like this nerdy girl.' Heather Graham 'doesn't age,' fans exclaim as star looks like a 'smokeshow' in bikinis on Mexico vacation She then admitted this came with a downside after struggling to break out of this stereotype with casting directors in Hollywood. 'I related to the awkward romantic comedy heroines more than to the glam characters. Sometimes, I felt like I wasn't being seen for my intelligence or other qualities.' These days, however, she had made peace with being seen as sexy and embraces it. She told the publication: 'I think there's a beauty that a woman can have as she gets older that's like a powerful, sexy beauty. Like, how do you still feel good and sexy about yourself at any age, and just embrace that? 8 8 8 "Because it really doesn't matter what other people think – it's how you feel about yourself. If you feel that you're hot, you feel hot. And I do feel hot.' Last year, Heather wrote, directed and starred in the rom com, Chosen Family. And earlier this year she appeared in big screen western Gunslingers, which also starred Stephen Dorff and Nicolas Cage. Heather also has a role in the upcoming miniseries Carrie, which is based on Stephen King's bestselling horror novel.

Actress Sophie Turner fuels rumours she's back with aristocrat ex dubbed ‘Britain's most eligible bachelor'
GLITTERING Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner follows aristocrat Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson from a restaurant — sparking reports the on-off romance is back on track. Sophie, 29, met with the 30-year-old toff in London — and reconnected with him on social media. 4 4 4 She and the heir to a £224million fortune were an item last year but were last pictured together this March. Mum-of-two Sophie is divorced and Turner has a claim to be Britain's most eligible bachelor. The Sun first revealed how the pair had started dating in October 2023, following the breakdown of Sophie's marriage to American pop star Joe Jonas. Back when the pair split, a source said: 'Sophie and Peregrine had a great time together but the relationship ran its course. 'She is single and is focusing on her career and her two daughters.' Peregrine, heir of the 4th Viscount Cowdray, had been dating King Charles's goddaughter, model Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, before he started dating Sophie. Fans also spotted Sophie had unfollowed Peregrine on social media. Joe filed for divorce from Sophie on September 5 2022, with the couple releasing a joint statement the following day. They said: 'After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage.' It took a dramatic turn a year later when Sophie sued Joe and accused him of the 'wrongful retention' of their two daughters. 4

EXCLUSIVE Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori is nearly naked in wild outfit after calls for 'public indecency' arrest
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori pulled off another jaw-dropping stunt in New York City on Saturday. Since their secret 2022 wedding, Bianca has made a habit of turning heads with the barely-there outfits her husband styles her in — and the Big Apple outing was no exception. This latest near-naked moment only adds to a long list of viral looks, with her most unforgettable being that sheer, nothing-to-the-imagination dress at the 2025 Grammys. She's also sparked controversy abroad — notably during her scandalous, skin-baring strolls in Spain, where she even faced calls to be arrested for public indecency. Just two days ago, Bianca stepped out daringly in a plunging nude leotard that left little to the imagination. Saturday's NYC outing was no different, with the stunner hitting the streets alongside her famous husband in a black fur-trimmed coat that barely covered her breasts. Her skimpy black underwear also left her lower half practically exposed. Bianca and Kanye were spotted leaving a hotel together, with the rapper trailing closely behind the Australian beauty. While Bianca's daring outfit left little to the imagination, Kanye kept it low-key in an all-black ensemble of leather pants and a leather jacket. He completed the look with dark sunglasses, keeping a noticeably low profile amid the media frenzy. The couple's contrasting styles couldn't have been more obvious as they made their way through the city streets. The outing comes after 50 Cent wasted no time taking aim at Kanye and Bianca after the rapper made a surprise appearance at Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial last Friday. The 49-year-old Grammy winner, who has been an outspoken critic of Diddy, weighed in after Kanye showed up at the Manhattan courthouse alongside Diddy's son Christian Combs. West told reporters he was there to show support for the embattled Bad Boy Records founder. Diddy is facing explosive allegations from federal prosecutors, who claim he ran a criminal enterprise that facilitated so-called 'freak offs' — alleged drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers. Shortly after West's appearance, 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock the couple, posting an AI-generated photo of himself dressed in an all-white outfit next to footage of Kanye arriving at court in his own similar all-white ensemble. In his caption, the In Da Club hitmaker didn't hold back, even referencing Censori's nearly-nude look from the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year. 'We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs,' 50 Cent wrote. 'Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction' Meanwhile, Kanye was reportedly not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in the overflow room. He left the courthouse after about 30 minutes. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online. Last month, Censori angered locals after baring her breasts in a sheer bra during a shopping trip with West in Spain. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. One witness told People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. 'We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views.' 'How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non - celeb tried it, they would be arrested,' another asked. No strangers to scandal, West and Censori have continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing, with Bianca's barely-there looks sparking fury from locals. During a previous Italian trip in 2023, Censori wore a slew of eccentric outfits during the couple's getaway. At the time, a source close to her husband told the New York Post claimed that Censori was 'talked into' wearing the nude dress. One of Kanye's earliest controversies with Kim came in 2016, when he released 'Famous' and included the line, 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex… I made that b***h famous,' which Kim later defended with secretly recorded audio 'She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,' the insider said. 'She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.' West is said to have lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt. A source said: 'Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.' He added: 'Japan is having a cultural awakening about women's rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.'
