80s supermodel unrecognizable as she's spotted in LA – can you guess who she is?
The 70-year-old star – who was one of the original supermodels back in the 1980s – kept a low profile in jean shorts, a t-shirt and a wide-brimmed hat while on her outing

Almost completely concealing her identity with a pair of oversized sunglasses, she immediately ran into trouble when taking a sip from her Starbucks coffee cup.
Drinking from the takeaway cup as she stepped out of the car, the hot drink appeared to disagree with the model, who immediately spat it out onto the street.
The icon was seen coughing and spluttering while precariously holding the drink, before wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
She then stepped into Walgreens for a grocery run.
You've guessed it, it's Janice Dickinson!
MODEL BEHAVIOR
Janice still maintains her killer body - most defined by her famous long legs, which she often flaunted on the runway.
During her heyday in the late 70s and 80s, Janice was one of the most in-demand models in the industry – working with designers including Versace, Oscar De La Renta, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior.
She also appeared on magazine covers ranging from Vogue to Playboy.
After stepping away from modeling, she found fame with a new generation when she joined the judges' panel of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model in 2003.
Known for her no-holds-barred critiques, she was eventually removed from the panel after the fourth cycle – being replaced by Twiggy.
Despite this, she was such a favorite for the show she made guest star appearances during challenges to guide the up-and-coming models.

Shortly after this, Janice appeared on UK reality show, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
Joining the series in 2007, Janice was made to live and complete challenges while living in the Australian jungle.
She eventually placed second, losing out to British personality Christopher Biggins, but set the record for most challenges completed, doing 10 during her stint.
However, when she joined the American version of the show, she failed to make it to the finals.
In 2015, Janice returned to British TV on Celebrity Big Brother, and lasted until just two days before the finale when she was evicted.

'Her acid tongue is usually in her cheek': How Gwyneth Paltrow became a divisive, defiant icon
Her larger-than-life sensibility and scale of ambition have led to both admiration and criticism – and she seems to thrive in her own divisiveness. The author of new book Gwyneth: The Biography, tells the BBC what fascinates her about the star. Gwyneth Paltrow is hardly an enigma. From crystal "healing" eggs to vagina-themed candles, we might feel that we know the actress and businesswoman intimately. And yet, we really only know her through headlines – most recently, she starred in US tech firm Astronomer's "clever PR move". For more than 30 years, through stories about her boyfriends, her "conscious uncoupling" from Chris Martin, crying at the Oscars, narrowly escaping Harvey Weinstein's advances, and in the very public 2023 ski-crash trial, the public has come to both love and loathe her. Now a new book, Gwyneth: The Biography, explores Paltrow's life and divisive public persona. The woman who admits she "can't possibly pretend to be someone who makes $25,000 a year", and laments that an accident on the slopes she was (wrongly) blamed for caused her to lose a day of skiing, seems to thrive in her own divisiveness. Her acid tongue is usually in her cheek, we have to imagine, when she says these things. It's as if she's winking and nudging in an "if you know, you know" fashion. "Gwyneth has, to her extraordinary credit, found a way to be even more annoying," the Guardian wrote upon the launch of Goop in 2008. Paltrow's wellness empire catapulted her into a whole new stratosphere of celebrity. And experts in health have been scathing about some of the claims made by Goop and Paltrow. In January 2020, NHS chief Simon Stevens claimed that the Goop brand championed the views of "quacks, charlatans and cranks". His comments followed the Netflix airing of The Goop Lab, a behind-the-scenes view of Paltrow's business. In an interview Paltrow brushed off criticism with a blithe side swipe at naysayers. "I will never understand the level of fascination and projection. But we don't want to not change the conversation just to please everybody," she said, following up with the assertion that despite a lack of scientific basis for Goop products, unqualified health measures had been around for "thousands of years". And yet, Paltrow is fully aware of her saleability. Last week, following the drama in which a couple at a Coldplay concert – later revealed to be colleagues from AI company Astronomer – dived to get out of view of the camera, Paltrow was recruited to front a PR campaign for the organisation. SmartCompany labelled it "an iconic PR turnaround". In her clever, deadpan style (which she demonstrated in the ski court trial), Paltrow nails the butter-wouldn't-melt persona the ad calls for. Larger than life In the new book by journalist and author Amy Odell, Paltrow is described as "one of the most resented celebrities in the world". While Gwyneth herself didn't participate in the book, Odell interviewed more than 220 friends, colleagues and industry insiders to create a narrative of how this waifish blonde actress morphed from Brad Pitt's girlfriend to a single, unmistakable name. It follows Odell's last book, Anna: The Biography, which was published in 2022, about Vogue fashion doyenne Anna Wintour. There are parallels between the two women's lives and personas that are undeniable, both are ambitious, larger-than-life figures, and it's easy to see why Odell was transfixed by them. The scale of ambition displayed by both of these women is something that interested the author. "I think ambition is a great thing, and that's a trait I admire greatly in both of them," Odell tells the BBC. "Women's ambition is not always viewed positively, and I wondered if that's why Gwyneth downplayed her ambition early in her career," says Odell. "I also am interested in people who have had cultural impact, and ambition probably helps explain why both were able to accomplish things that truly did impact culture." And there's no denying the scale of Paltrow's goals, says the author. "With Gwyneth, we see her ambition in the breadth of Goop – she wanted Goop to do everything, and to execute it all perfectly. That's how Goop ended up as a newsletter, a publishing imprint, a live events business, a beauty line, a fashion line, and more." Paltrow may have been portrayed as an ice queen, however, her friends refute this. On an episode of Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef, Paltrow's friend Shaman Durek claimed the ice queen label was "all lies". He said, "She will give you the shirt off her back. She doesn't get angry. It takes her a lot to get angry. And even when she gets angry, she feels sad about being angry because she doesn't want to be angry." He added, "Gwyneth is the most loving person." She has also been underestimated. For all her acting talent, Paltrow's love life – and the famous men she has often been attached to – has inspired sensationalist tabloid speculation. Even leading up to the publication of this biography, tabloid magazines were hungrily republishing excerpts purely focused on former partners Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Chris Martin. Like father, like daughter? Some describe Paltrow as a "nepo baby". Her father, Bruce Paltrow, was an established producer (Hill Street Blues) and her mother Blythe Danner was, and is, a noted actress (in 2000's Meet the Parents, among many other films). She was attending theatres with her mother from infancy, but she worked for her gigs: auditioning, rehearsing and spending hours on set, determined to get the take. When she won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love in 1999 at the age of 26, her teary acceptance speech made her the butt of relentless jokes. In the same year, The Guardian labelled her "Worst Actress" in its list of "Worst Winner's Speech Awards". In 2023, Paltrow told Variety that the "British press was so horrible to me". One of the focal points of Odell's book is the close father-daughter relationship between Bruce and Gwyneth. It was Paltrow's father, the book suggests, who engendered the sense of heightened privilege and lofty expectations his daughter became accustomed to from childhood. When working on films, Bruce would fly first class with Gwyneth and her brother, Jake, even when, it is claimed, their mother Blythe was flying economy. Odell's book recounts the time Gwyneth boarded a plane with her mother and said, "You mean instead of flying first class, we're flying no class?" "It's impossible to understand someone, as a biographer, if you don't take the time to research where a subject came from, and how their parents impacted them," Odell tells the BBC. "I always make a big effort to interview people who knew a subject's parents, and was fortunate to gain great insight into Gwyneth through those interviews. Gwyneth is a fascinating mix of both of her parents – she has her mother's extraordinary acting talent and her dad's polarising personality and excellent aesthetic taste."

Losing your father is a seismic event, says Odell. "Gwyneth lost Bruce when she was 30 years old. I lost my dad suddenly, too, when I was 27," she tells the BBC. "It was a huge, inexplicable tragedy for which I desperately wanted answers where there were none. Gwyneth went looking for answers after her dad was diagnosed with throat cancer – so I can understand the instinct to do that in a very personal way. I think Gwyneth found answers in wellness, and later started sharing her findings with the public through Goop, whether they were rooted in science or not." So, while attention on Paltrow has often centred on her famous partners, or her success attributed to her father's industry networking, to have built Goop into a multimillion-dollar lifestyle empire is to her credit. And despite the accusations of quackery, the fact that she has been derided for it perhaps tells us more about society's attitude to successful women than anything else. Readers will likely flock to Gwyneth: The Biography in search of gossip and insights into the charmed life of celebrities. What they'll get, in addition, is a reminder that ice queen Gwyneth is just as complicated and curious as we are. Soon after turning 50, Gwyneth said, "As a woman, you turn 50, and maybe we all give ourselves permission to be exactly who we are. And we stop trying to be what other people are expecting us to be, and you kind of exhale into this other thing." Ultimately, love her or hate her, Gwyneth is always going to exist in another sphere to 99.9% of us – and whatever we expect her to be, she will probably confound those expectations.

Trump rejects blame for Colbert's cancellation
President Donald Trump denied rumors he was the reason Stephen Colbert's long-running talk show was axed. Although he claimed to not be responsible, the president issued a warning to Colbert's fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. Colbert's decade-long stint as the host of The Late Show will come to an end in May after CBS canceled the program following a $16million settlement with Trump . Trump publicly celebrated the axing, sparking theories that he was involved in the decision. He clarified on Truth Social on Sunday that he was not 'solely responsible.' 'Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true,' he argued. 'The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!' Trump, who once gained reality television notoriety as the face of The Apprentice, tried to offer the trio a lesson in showbusiness, writing: 'Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don't, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.' Trump's show The Apprentice ran for 15 seasons before it was ultimately canceled when NBC and Trump parted ways in 2016. CBS announced the cancellation of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this month, just days after the host blasted the network's $16million settlement with Trump as a 'big fat bribe.' Executives said the decision was made after the show's revenue plummeted by around $40 million a year. 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,' they said in a statement. 'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire the Late Show franchise at that time,' the executives continued. 'We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and his broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.' The network explained that the decision to cancel the show is 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.' 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount,' it added. But Colbert has not held back in his criticism of his employers since the decision was finalized, telling crowds: 'They made one mistake, they left me alive! For the next ten months, the gloves are off!' He dedicated much of his first show back after the announcement to criticizing the network, inviting other liberal late night talk show hosts and comedians onto his program to stand united against the decision. Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Adam Sandler and Lin-Manuel Miranda all appeared in the segment.

NFL reporters dish on secret vacay with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson have revealed the truth behind their vacation with and Taylor Swift. The NFL reporters showered praise on the famous couple in a recent episode of their podcast, Calm Down With Erin And Charissa. Thompson said: 'I will say this: she's everything that I'd ever hoped and dreamed that she could've been and more.' Andrews chimed in and said: 'We're so protective of them and their privacy and what they deserve, so that's why we never said anything or planned on saying anything. 'That's one of my favorite photos from the trip that we all took together. And I'll echo it! She's a 20 out of 20. She is so much fun. 'We love them, we are happy for them and we are happy to report back that, yes, the long-awaited meeting did happen and it exceeded expectations because she is as advertised and a whole lot more'. Kelce and Swift, who have dominated headlines since their romance became public knowledge back in September 2023, look smitten in a number of the photos the NFL star shared on Thursday. In one photo, the couple posed alongside Thompson, Andrews and their partners in the snow - with the whole group wrapped up as they braced the cold. Though Thompson and Andrews only featured once in the photo dump, Kelce and Swift were pictured in the exact same outfit that they wore for the picture with the NFL reporters in two other pictures.
