Emily Ratajkowski: Men are 'pleasure and fun'
Emily Ratajkowski thinks men are "pleasure and fun". The Too Much actress - who has son Sylvester, four, with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard - treasures the "community" of people she has around her because guys are no longer "part of [the] core" of who she is. She told the July/ August issue of Britain's ELLE magazine: 'I still like men. I just have zero straight men in my life, unless they're a romantic interest. In the hierarchy of needs, that's at the top of the pyramid, which is nice. "[Men are] pleasure and fun, but not a part of my core. The rest of my life is community with other women and queer people, and being a mom." The 34-year-old actress is relishing being in her 30s. She said: "I'm fascinated with this decade of my life. My mom had me at 39, and I remember she always romanticised her thirties as a time of self-exploration and power as a woman. I'm in the midst of it and really feel that way too." And Emily is excited about taking charge of her own destiny. She said: "'You can't control everything, but you can move towards something to give yourself the life you want, which really excites me, because when I think about 34 to 44, I'm like, 'Oh man, there's so much opportunity.' "I can be so much more intentional than I was in my twenties and there won't be, like, accidents.' " Meanwhile, the Gone Girl star loves being "subversive" by refusing to conform to ideas of "what a mom should look like" and she doesn't care what people think of her clothing because only her son's opinion matters. She said: "I think that [fashion] is actually one of the ways I really enjoy being subversive with motherhood. There's so much around what a mom should look like. "I know what kind of mom I am, and I only deeply care about my son's reaction to that. Anybody else who has opinions about me as a mother because of the way I dress – it's just so inconsequential."

Sarah Jessica Parker says her teenage daughters thrift, work summer jobs — and she doesn't give them cash for clothes
"I like my money where I can see it — hanging in my closet," Carrie Bradshaw famously declares in " Sex and the City." Sarah Jessica Parker, the actor who's portrayed the fashionista columnist in six seasons of the TV show as well as two movies, shares her character's love for designer clothes and luxury accessories. Her teenage daughters have different ideas, Parker revealed on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast this week. Marion and Tabitha, 15, like clothes and will ask Parker a couple of times a month to buy something, she said, adding: "But they mostly buy their clothes used, almost entirely." Unlike Bradshaw, the twins don't spend like crazy or rush to join the latest trend, Parker said. One reason is they can't afford to: they "don't have a budget" and "don't have money with the exception of what they've earned," she said. Both girls had jobs last summer that allowed them to earn and save money, Parker said. She noted that she gives them "stuff of mine all the time," and she'd be "happy to loan them anything out of my closet." Echoing a certain stiletto-loving writer, she added: "My shoes don't fit them — it's really a tragedy. I'm actually not kidding, I find it really tragic." Money lessons Parker recalled during the podcast episode that she was frugal as a young actor. "I knew exactly how much money I had in the bank and I took it out very judiciously," she said. "I tried to get by on $40 for three days." The TV-and-movie star has said she wants her children to have everything they need, but not everything they want, so they still have things to strive for. The sentiment echoes Warren Buffett's iconic advice that "hugely wealthy parents should leave their children enough so they can do anything but not enough that they can do nothing." Like Parker, other celebrities are working to teach their kids value for money and not spoil them despite their fabulous wealth. "Captain America: Brave New World" star Anthony Mackie said in an interview earlier this year that he keeps his four sons "humble" and they've " never had a pair of Jordans." Ben Affleck, the "Gone Girl" and "Argo" actor, has said he rejects his son's occasional requests for $1,000 sneakers by saying: "I have the money — you're broke." Sports star Shaquille O'Neal and comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Tucker have all reported using variations of that line with their children to help stave off entitlement. Despite their fame and fortune, these stars want their kids to know that spending smart never goes out of style.

Actor accuses Tyler Perry of sexual assault in $400 million lawsuit
Los Angeles: An actor who worked on the Tyler Perry-created TV drama The Oval has filed a lawsuit alleging Perry leveraged his industry power to repeatedly sexually assault and harass him while keeping him quiet. The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by actor Derek Dixon, who appeared on 85 episodes of the BET series, seeks at least $US260 million ($400 million) in damages. 'Mr Perry took his success and power and used his considerable influence in the entertainment industry to create a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic with Mr Dixon — initially promising him career advancement and creative opportunities, such as producing his pilot and casting him in his show, only to subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation,' the lawsuit says. The Oval is one of many television series executive produced by, written by and directed by the 55-year-old billionaire entertainment mogul, who first became known as creator and star of the Madea films and has since built a major TV and movie production empire. As an actor he has appeared in the films Gone Girl and Don't Look Up. Perry is also a close friend of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry, and is the godfather of their daughter Lilibet. He lent the couple one of his homes and supported them as they moved from the UK to the US in 2020 and appeared in their 2022 Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan. The lawsuit was filed on Friday and first reported Tuesday by TMZ. Perry's lawyer, Matthew Boyd, said its allegations were false. 'This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam,' Boyd said in a statement on Tuesday. 'But Tyler will not be shaken down, and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.'
