Sharon Stone, 67, Reveals She Makes More Money from Modeling Gigs Than She Does ActingNew Foto - Sharon Stone, 67, Reveals She Makes More Money from Modeling Gigs Than She Does Acting

Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Sharon Stone toldBusiness Insidershe makes more money from modeling than movies She also told the outlet that she originally wanted to be a director Stone previously opened up about her finances in 2024, revealing that she lost $18 million in savings after having a stroke in 2001 Sharon Stoneis getting real about her finances. In an interview withBusiness Insiderpublished on Friday, Aug. 1, the actress and producer, 67, admitted that she makes more money from modeling than she does from film work. "I'm still modeling, and I still make more money today modeling than in film," she told the outlet. "It's still a huge part of my reality." Stone also said that when her modeling career kicked off in the 1970s, she had wanted to be a director "but the pesky vagina stood in my way." "Because how could you possibly have a brain and a vagina?" she continued. "It seems to have confounded so many." The star recalled landing her first film role in Woody Allen'sStardust Memories,while she was out for model castings. "I didn't have any money, so I would roller skate to all my modeling appointments," she said. "This was back in the Studio 54 period of New York City." Ivan Romano/Getty A casting agent let her know that the movie was casting extras. "He told me to go to this bus stop," she remembered. "Woody was actually sitting at the bus stop. [Casting director] Juliet [Taylor] had a podium placed in front of it, and she would look at everyone's headshots." https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf She continued, "So I roller-skated over there and had my giant modeling portfolio with me and showed it to her. She turned around and passed it to Woody in the bus stop. Then she said, 'Woody would like you to sit down with him.' So I skated into the bus stop and sat with Woody, and he looked at my stuff and didn't say anything, and handed it back to me, and I skated away. And I later found out I got the job." Stone ended up with a small role as "Pretty Girl on Train" in the 1980 film. TheBasic Instinctactress previouslyopened up about her financesin 2024. In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Stone recalled losing her life savings after having a stroke in 2001, which led to anine-day brain bleedand made her step away from Hollywood. "I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone," she told the outlet. "My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people's names. I had zero money." Steve Granitz/FilmMagic The star shared that rather than feeling "bitter," she chooses to focus on the positive. "I decided to stay present and let go," she admitted. "I decided not to hang onto being sick or to any bitterness or anger. If you bite into the seed of bitterness, it never leaves you. But if you hold faith, even if that faith is the size of a mustard seed, you will survive." Read the original article onPeople

Arkansas man sentenced to life without parole for 2024 mass shooting at grocery storeNew Foto - Arkansas man sentenced to life without parole for 2024 mass shooting at grocery store

FORDYCE, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas man who killed four people and injured 11 others in a mass shootingat a grocery storelast year was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole. A state judge sentenced Travis Eugene Posey to four life sentences for each count of capital murder. Posey was also sentenced to 220 years in prison for 11 counts of attempted capital murder. Poseypleaded guiltylast month to the shooting, which occurred last summer at the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce, a city of about 3,200 people located 65 miles (104 kilometers) south of Little Rock. Judge Spencer Singleton handed down the sentence after testimony from victims' family members during a hearing in Fordyce. "You don't deserve to be part of our story," Hanna Sturgis said during the hearing, theArkansas Democrat-Gazettereported. Sturgis' father, Roy Sturgis, was killed during the shooting. Posey, who did not speak during Monday's hearing, has been held without bond since the shooting and previouslypleaded not guiltyto the same charges. Prosecutors and police have not publicly identified any motive for Posey, who was shot and injured by officers who exchanged fire with him. Police have said he did not appear to have a personal connection to any of the victims. During the midday shooting, Posey carried a 12-gauge shotgun, a pistol and a bandolier with dozens of extra shotgun rounds, authorities said. He fired most, if not all, of the rounds using the shotgun, opening fire at people in the parking lot before entering the store and firing "indiscriminately" at customers and employees, police said. Multiple victims were found inside the store and in the parking lot, police said. Posey lived in New Edinburg, a small town of about 150 people located southeast of Fordyce. One of the women injured in the shootinghas sued Posey, seeking monetary damages to cover medical care, lost earnings and other expenses as a result of the shooting. Attorneys for the woman have requested that a judge enter a default judgment against Posey, as he has not responded to the complaint. A judge has not ruled on that request. The shooting temporarily closed theonly grocery storein Fordyce, prompting food distribution sites to be set up around the community. TheMad Butcher reopened11 days after the shooting.

A cash bond for a US visa? DHS to require some foreign travelers to pay up frontNew Foto - A cash bond for a US visa? DHS to require some foreign travelers to pay up front

TheTrump administrationwill require some foreign travelers to post a $15,000 bond before they can come to the United States – charging roughly what it costs to deport them if they don't go home. Fewer than 1.5% of foreign travelers who arrived by air or sea overstayed their visa in fiscal 2023, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That'sabout 565,000 people who overstayedversus the more than 38 million foreign travelers who departed on time. But some countries have higher rates of overstay than others. As part of the 12-month pilot program, the Trump administration plans to apply the bond rule to countries whose travelers more often ignore the conditions of their visa and stay beyond its expiration, according to a notice published in the Federal Register on Aug. 4. The notice didn't specify which countries will be targeted but said the list will be posted onthe State Department websitelater this month. Travelers from countries including the United Kingdom, Spain and France have some of the highest total number of annual overstays – more than 40,000, 15,000 and 9,000 travelers respectively. But they are among countries that belong to the Visa Waiver Program and won't be included in the bond pilot program. The visa waiver allows tourists from these countries to travel here without pre-applying for a visa. Many of the countries with the highest rates of overstay have the fewest number of visitors to the United States, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Those include places like Burma with a 27% rate of overstay, or 543 individuals; or Liberia with a 19% rate of overstay, or 214 individuals. Others, like Colombia, have higher numbers of total overstays and a rate that outpaces the average: 40,884 travelers from Colombia, or 4%, overstayed their visa in fiscal 2023, according to DHS. The pilot program only applies to visas issued for travel by air and sea and doesn't include travel from Canada or Mexico by land. The U.S. government currently has few ways to track departures through land ports of entry. The visa bond will range from $5,000 to $15,000 per traveler and will have to be paid to the U.S. Treasury before the visa can be issued. The money will be refunded to travelers who depart on time. DHS estimates it costs more than $17,000 toarrest, detain and deporta foreign visitor who remains in the country beyond their required departure date.

And Just like That... Fans Have a Wild Theory About How the Show Will EndNew Foto - And Just like That... Fans Have a Wild Theory About How the Show Will End

And just like that, it's time to say goodbye toCarrie Bradshawand the girlies. After three series, it's been confirmed thatAnd Just Like That...will wrap up for good this month, with showrunner Michael Patrick King announcing that the "Sex and the Cityuniverse" is coming to an end. RIP. Despite the (very!) mixed reviews theSATCspin-offhas received since it started airing in 2021, fans have understandably been quite cut up about bidding farewell to these iconic characters—more on their reactions in a moment. That being said, after decades in theSATCuniverse, it's only natural that viewers are theorizing about how the show will close, and one theory seems to be pretty prominent, especially among Samantha Jones fans. "And Just Like That needs to end with Samantha waking up and saying 'What a horrible dream!?'" one fan suggested on X, referencing the absence of Kim Cattrall's legendary character.

And then smash to black. — sam greisman (@SAMGREIS)August 1, 2025 "But for real, And Just Like That should end with Samantha waking up from a three year long coma and going: 'I just had the worst dream'. And then smash to black," another fan agreed, as someone elseshared: "It should end with a Samantha scene!! She was the show!!" Other viewers hope that we'll see the show switch to Samantha's life in London, although, given the wording that the entireSATC"universe" is coming to an end, that might be unrealistic. "It'd be even better if they could pass the baton over to Samantha in London for the last hour of show – we get a tiny glimpse into her wonderful sex life with a younger man, her social life with Black and gay friends, her office fling with an older man coz duh, she trying poly!" one fansuggested, as anotherwrote, "I'd like a Samantha spin off." Elsewhere, another viewer pointed to how relievedthe actress who playedher must be feeling. "Kim Cattrall after seeing this news, realizing no one will ever bother her about playing Samantha Jones again," they posted.
