When asked how she was able to stand by Cosby's side despite all the women who have accused him of assault and his own admission that he had given drugs to females he wanted to have sex with, Pulliam said it was because the man is her family.

'Hopefully things will work out in my career. If they don't, then it was never meant to be.'

Elsa Pataky breaks her silence after spending weeks apart from husband Chris Hemsworth
Elsa Pataky has broken her silence after spending a significant amount of time away from her Australian actor husband Chris Hemsworth. The Fast & Furious actress, 48, shared a gallery of photos to Instagram on Wednesday, showing her enjoying time with co-stars on the set of her new Spanish TV series, Matices. One photo captured Elsa and a male colleague embracing as they watched footage of her performance on the European soap opera. Another picture showed a glamorous-looking Elsa posing with female colleagues during a filming break. Elsa looked to be having the time of her life as she worked on her new show, which premiered in May. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, . She captioned the photos with some excited words: 'Working in Spain again with my favourites!' It comes after Elsa's husband Chris attended Evian's VIP suite on the final day of Wimbledon without his wife on Sunday. The Thor star, 41, and Spanish actress haven't been pictured together in weeks and recently went on very different trips away. Chris enjoyed a beachside escape in Hossegor, France, with his longtime personal trainer and best mate Luke Zocchi, while Elsa enjoyed her own holiday in her native Spain. The couple is still spending time apart and Chris smiled as he posed alongside Dame Helen Mirren and Stormzy at the tennis match over the weekend. His wife Elsa has been keeping a low profile and hadn't posted on social media in weeks until Wednesday. Chris and Elsa were last pictured together one week prior to their holidays as they supported their son Sasha at his surfing competition in Byron Bay. The couple tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010. The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago. Chris has frequently shared glimpses of their laid-back, surf-filled lifestyle on social media. The couple purchased their sprawling 4.2-hectare estate in Byron Bay back in 2014 for $7 million, eventually constructing a $50 million mega-mansion on the site. The property features six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms, as well as sprawling outdoor living areas. Chris recently revealed a new addition to the sprawling property - a lavish home gym. The Thor star created a state-of-the-art training facility called The Shed for his fitness brand, Centr, which was unveiled in January.

Pompeii welcomes home erotic mosaic looted by Nazi officer
ROME, July 15 (Reuters) - An ancient Roman erotic mosaic depicting a half-naked couple has returned to Pompeii more than 80 years after it was stolen by a Nazi officer during World War Two, Italy's cultural heritage police said on Tuesday. The intimate artwork, featuring a man reclining in bed with his female partner standing in front of him, was handed back by Germany following a diplomatic effort, the police said in a statement. Set on a slab of travertine, the mosaic panel dates to between the late 1st century B.C. and the 1st century A.D. It was taken from the area around Pompeii, near Naples, during the war by a German Nazi army captain assigned to military logistics in Italy. The German officer gifted the piece to a civilian, who kept it until his death. His heirs, realizing its origin, contacted the Italian authorities to arrange its return. Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the German-born director of the Pompeii archaeological park, described the mosaic as part of a cultural turning point where everyday intimacy became a subject in Roman art, as opposed to the heroic myths of earlier centuries. "Here we see a new theme, the routine of domestic love," he said, noting that the male figure's expression "seems almost a little bored". The mosaic will now be put on display at Pompeii alongside the hundreds of other items and archaeological remains at the site of the ancient city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

Kylie Jenner shares lesson she taught daughter Stormi about natural beauty while filming makeup tutorial
Kylie Jenner showed off her bare face in a sweet makeup tutorial with daughter Stormi, as she revealed the lesson she taught her little one about natural beauty. The lipkit mogul, 27, shared an adorable video with the seven-year-old on Tuesday as they filmed a 'get ready with me' while vacationing in Greece. During the clip, Kylie — who was using Kylie Cosmetics products in the video — revealed the crucial natural beauty lesson she imparted to her daughter. 'Mommy always tells you, though, you're the most beautiful without...' she said, trailing off, as Stormi completed the sentence, stating, 'Makeup.' 'Yes,' Kylie — who recently stunned fans with a 'nasty looking' plastic surgery scar from a breast augmentation — responded. 'Our first GRWM together we always make vids together for fun and i never post them but this was just tooooo cute, ' Kylie — who shares Stormi and son Aire, three, with ex Travis Scott, 34 — captioned the clip. Timothée Chalamet's girlfriend started out the clip showing off her natural features while wearing a plush cream robe. 'It's Stormi,' Kylie playfully started out the clip, jokingly switching out their names, after Stormi introduced herself as Kylie. 'We're gonna do our first-ever makeup tutorial together,' Kylie went on, revealing that they were going to start with the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Butter. 'Really glossy,' Stormi remarked, after smacking her lips. Stormi then moved on to the blush as Kylie put on her foundation. The proud mom then explained how her little one enjoys makeup. 'Stormi likes to play with my makeup sometimes, but obviously, she doesn't wear makeup yet,' the mom-of-two said. The duo then went on to apply mascara before adding concealer. Stormi then spoke about having fun on the luxury vacation. 'We are in Greece. I love the boat that we were on. I love the food. I love the water. The water's so warm,' she sweetly shared. 'Our first GRWM together we always make vids together for fun and i never post them but this was just tooooo cute, ' Kylie — who shares Stormi and son Aire, three, with ex Travis Scott , 34 — captioned the clip Kylie then asked if Stormi liked 'having sleepovers with Mommy every night' to which she replied 'yes.' Stormi then showed off how she applied 'Mommy's dewy balm' as Kylie laughed and said 'You're so cute.' The two went on to apply blush, with Kylie choosing a mix of Summer Sorbet and Ladybug, and Stormi opting for Cheeky Mood. Kylie then applied her lip liner, as Stormi declared, 'Now, we're just waiting for Mommy to finish!' Earlier this week Kylie shared a video of her and Stormi dancing around in circles on a yacht while wearing robes with towels on their heads. She called her daughter her 'built-in-bestie for life.' She also shared the video to TikTok where she captioned it, 'can't see our haters from here.' She also shared videos of Stormi arriving in Greece. Kylie cheekily captioned that video, 'I want to be her.' Later she posted a video of Stormi going down the huge slide off the yacht into the sea. Kylie's girls' trip included four friends, among them her bestie, 28-year-old Stassie Karanikolaou. She shared a carousel of images earlier on Sunday of her time with the adults on the yacht. 'Greeeece,' the mom of two captioned that update. In the first image, The Kardashians star wore a tiny yellow and black Chanel string bikini as she sat on her knees on the yacht. In another snap, the reality TV star showered off as she climbed back onto the boat after a swim in the sea. Khloé Kardashian commented on her sister's post: 'Are you ever coming home?' Many of Jenner's fans think her A Complete Unknown actor beau Timothee is secretly with her on the yacht vacation. That is because a man in black briefs was spotted resting on a seashore in one of her latest Instagram posts shared on Tuesday. 'That guy on the shore is Timothee,' said one fan on X while another piped up: 'He is secretly with her in Greece, I feel it in my bones.' The couple were last photographed together in St Tropez in the south of France on July 5.
