The sizzling shot comes just weeks after Millie shot down cruel critics after she was mocked online over her appearance at The Electric State premiere in Los Angeles. Advertisement Some fans accused her of 'looking 40 not 21', with one saying: 'Had to double-check if she turned 21 or 40.' Others cruelly claimed she looked like a 'soccer mum' in her glamorous £8,000 gown and new blonde hair. Comedian Matt Lucas took it a step further by comparing Millie to his Little Britain character Vicky Pollard. He even shared a side-by-side photo and her infamous catchphrase: 'No but yeah but.' Advertisement Millie didn't take it lying down and fired back on Instagram. She said: 'Disillusioned people can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs. Millie Bobby Brown addresses public scrutiny 'I refuse to apologise for growing up… I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself.' She blasted those joining in on the jibes, adding: 'You're amplifying an insult instead of questioning why a grown man is mocking a young woman's appearance.' Advertisement Millie's emotional video went viral and celebs flooded the comments to praise her. Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker said: 'Enormously proud of you. xxx.' F1 champ Lewis Hamilton wrote: 'So truly proud of you Millie.' Singer Pixie Lott added: 'You are a true class act… always beyond beautiful inside and out.'

Millie has grown up in front of the cameras since landing her breakout role as Eleven on Stranger Things aged just 10. Now a fully-fledged Hollywood star, she's raking in around £10million for the show's final season – a massive jump from the £8,000 per episode she earned back in season one. Her latest film, The Electric State, dropped on Netflix in March and saw her star opposite Chris Pratt, Woody Harrelson, and Stanley Tucci. Advertisement She also appeared in the Enola Holmes movies, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and last year's Netflix fantasy flick Damsel. This isn't the first time Millie has clapped back over comments on her looks. After being trolled over her appearance in Enola Holmes, she hit back: 'Women grow!! Not sorry about it!' Fans have previously speculated about cosmetic work – from lip fillers to veneers – but Millie has never confirmed any procedures. Advertisement As well as shaking up her image, she's also settled down. She secretly married model Jake Bongiovi, 22 – son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi – last year in a low-key ceremony in the US. The pair began dating in 2021, and Jake proposed during a scuba diving trip by hiding the ring inside a shell. Jon Bon Jovi gave the couple his blessing, saying: 'They're going to be great together.' Millie has even expressed interest in playing Britney Spears in a future biopic, saying: 'Her story resonates with me, growing up in the public eye.'

10 Iconic Sex Scenes From ‘Sex and the City'
For a show with 'sex' right there in the title, I think it's fair to say that Sex and the City isn't really all that sexy in the sense of being, like, sexually arousing. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of sex happening—but it often tends to be happening more as a plot point to give the gals something to chat about at brunch in the next scene than to make the viewers reach for our vibrators. And while we do hear about Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and (especially) Samantha having great sex, a lot of the the sex we actually see on screen usually feels more comedic than erotic, like when Samantha blows the guy with the 'funky spunk,' Miranda tries to dodge a man's incredibly unsubtle invitation to eat his ass, or some guy literally falls asleep during sex with Charlotte. Basically, I'd argue that Sex and the City is a show that's less about actually having sex than it is about rehashing the dirty and/or unhinged details with your friends (or in your column). Which is to say that, while SATC boasts a fair amount of nudity (a kind of shocking amount, even, if you, like me, grew up watching the heavily censored reruns on cable and have only recently been exposed to the full-fledged level of tits and ass on display now that the show's in its streaming era), it's no Bridgerton in terms of actual steaminess. In other words, I'm pretty sure no one's watching Sex and the City for the sex scenes themselves. But while most of Sex and the City's sex scenes may not be all that horny, many of them are—like the show itself—iconic. Below, a roundup of some of the most memorable sex scenes to grace the series. (And by the series I mean the original six season run, because I refuse to acknowledge the humiliation ritual that is And Just Like That…, thank you very much). Known, of course, as 'the sex swing episode,' this season 3 gem features Samantha bumping into her male counterpart—a man known throughout the city for his prolific sex life. Back at his place, he asks Samantha if she 'swings,' revealing his very own in-home sex swing. But before they can get to it, he asks Samantha another important pre-sex question: 'When were you last tested?' So for the sake of the swing, Samantha gets her very first STI exam, and the episode ends with a very acrobatic sex sesh in the swing—which looks to me like something that requires more core strength than I'm personally looking to deploy during sex, but they seem to be having a good time! Honestly, shoutout to this episode for raising awareness re: the importance of regular STI screening and having open conversations about it with sexual partners, no matter how casual. And on a completely unrelated note, I also feel compelled to give this episode another shoutout for being the one where Miranda falls in love with a sandwich. A truly unhinged masterpiece. In what I believe is the show's only instance of rim job representation, Miranda hooks up with a hot guy from her run club (SATC, eternally ahead of its time, knew run clubs were the new dating apps before dating apps existed) and is surprised when he licks her asshole during a sweaty post-run sex sesh. Recapping the event over lunch with the crew, Miranda remains confused but curious, Carrie is weirdly scandalized, Samantha is predictably here for it, and we find out Charlotte is secretly a big-time rim job queen—which, love that for her. Aside from Charlotte, however, the consensus seems to be that while it's fine to receive a little rimming, they'd never toss a man's salad in return (one of the show's many paradoxically prudish takes that haven't aged particularly well). The next time Miranda hooks up with her marathon man, she offers him a post-sex massage, which he seems to interpret as an opportunity to get a rim job of his own. In an image that is permanently burned into my brain, he proceeds to not at all subtly raise his butt, wiggling it in Miranda's face until she screams, 'I don't wanna do that!' He replies, 'Well, why didn't you just say you weren't interested?' Which, fair point. But frankly, I think there were some pretty big communication failures involved in this one all around. The lesson is, if you want to lick someone's ass (or want them to lick yours), you should always ask first! Use your words, friends! Charlotte is having tasteful missionary sex with her latest fling when, mid-orgasm, he yells, 'You fucking bitch, you fucking whore,' before collapsing on top of her in a post-coital heap. Naturally, this disturbs Charlotte, who attempts to bring it up delicately on their next date, only to find that her otherwise seemingly perfect gentleman of a lover has no recollection of his outburst. She decides to move past it, but that night during sex, he breaks into the same mid-orgasm refrain. While there's nothing wrong with a little consensual degradation during dirty talk, this is…not that. Carrie is forced to spend time with Aidan, her boyfriend who she obviously doesn't like, at his country cabin upstate, which she likes even less. She makes Samantha go with her to share in her misery, I guess, and for some reason Samantha agrees. Naturally, Sam hates it too, but she finds a perfect way to pass the time: fucking the hot farmer next door. After some suggestive cow-milking foreplay that ends with Samantha getting a milk facial, the two go for a literal roll in the hay, featuring an enthusiastic (and loud) performance by Samantha on top. Threesomes do not fare well in this show, but that doesn't stop these gals from trying! First up, surprisingly enough, is Charlotte. After the man she's dating floats the idea of sex with a third, Charlotte has a steamy sex dream where she joins her man and another woman in bed. Unfortunately, the reality does not live up to her fantasy. At a party, Charlotte and her fling slip away to hook up in an upstairs bedroom, where a woman they'd made eyes at downstairs joins them. Unfortunately, Charlotte is swiftly nudged out of her own threesome and ends up leaving while her date—the one who wanted to have a threesome in the first place!—hooks up with this random woman alone. In the show's next attempt at a threeway, Samantha's gay friends decide they'd like to have a threesome with a woman and think Samantha is the perfect one for the job. She enthusiastically accepts, but shortly after they all climb into bed together and the foreplay commences, her queer almost-lovers decide they just can't go through with it. C'est la vie! The next time Samantha attempts a threesome, it's with her boss turned cheating boyfriend, Richard. For his birthday, he asks for a threesome with the hot, much younger waitress at one of their favorite restaurants, and Samantha agrees for one of the worst possible reasons you can agree to have a threesome: because she's afraid Richard will cheat on her otherwise. Hate this for her! Anyway, Samantha organizes the threesome, which naturally turns into a tense situation where she and the waitress are basically fighting for Richard's attention the entire time. Being a sleazeball, Richard naturally loves the ego boost of two naked women fighting over him in bed, but things take a turn when the guest star calls him 'Daddy,' which he apparently finds so offensive he tells Samantha to, 'get rid of her.' Samantha obliges by literally pushing this woman out of bed and onto the floor, all of which is actually so insane. Obviously, we're meant to be rooting for Samantha in this situation, but she invited this poor woman to have a threesome with her boyfriend and then they both treated her terribly. Not cool! The first night Samantha bones the man she later renames Smith Jerod, she waits out a horde of other horny women at the restaurant where he waits tables for the prize of bringing him home. (I am a little concerned that this man was being sexually pursued so aggressively in his place of work, but I guess he was fine with it?) She wins and they enjoy a marathon sex sesh, featuring sex in multiple positions and on multiple surfaces! Thanks to an infamous no-nudity clause in Sarah Jessica Parker's contract, Carrie's sex scenes tend to be pretty demure. While this one is no exception in terms of actual explicitness, I'd argue it's one of the most emotionally intense sex scenes of the entire series. Carrie gets a room at a nearby hotel to avoid Aidan (her boyfriend who, once again, she obviously doesn't like) and Big, desperate to get back together with her even though he's married, follows her there. She attempts to get rid of him, only for him to follow her into the elevator, push her against the wall and make out with her. After initially protesting, Carrie gives in and whispers, 'fuck me' in his ear. Cut to the two of them upstairs under the sheets, where they share a postcoital cigarette in a seductive manner. Listen, I'm not here to condone cheating or smoking, but I'm afraid this is the hottest sex scene in the show and it's literally my job to call it like I see it. Again, Carrie's sex scenes are pretty tame, but I still have to give a shoutout to this season one encounter that set the tone for the whole series. Carrie decides to 'have sex like a man,' by which she means casually, selfishly, and with no strings. She decides to try it out on an ex-boyfriend she meets up with for a midday hookup. He goes down on her and, rather than reciprocate, she just takes her orgasm and leaves—like a man! While I don't know that being an intentionally selfish lover is the flex the show makes it out to be, this was peak feminism for the time!

Lisa Kudrow's ‘The Comeback' is finally coming back
LOS ANGELES - Two decades after "The Comeback" premiered on HBO, the Lisa Kudrow-led comedy is returning for one last season. The mockumentary show, created by Kudrow and "Sex and the City" executive producer Michael Patrick King, debuted in 2005 to lukewarm reception. Though the series was canceled after its initial 13-week run, it returned again in 2014 for a surprise second season. It's since gained a cult-like following and critical acclaim. Now, "The Comeback" is staging another comeback, with the third and final season expected in 2026. "The Comeback" follows washed-up sitcom star Valerie Cherish (Kudrow) as she documents her return to the spotlight on a reality show aptly called "The Comeback." While little has been revealed about the upcoming season, the teaser video suggests Cherish is working on another "new show" - one she doesn't seem too excited about. "Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape," King and Kudrow said in a joint statement. "Neither of us are surprised she did." "No matter what the industry throws at her, Valerie Cherish is a survivor," said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of comedy programming at HBO and Max. "On the 20th Anniversary of her debut, Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow have brilliantly scripted her return to HBO and we can't wait to see that." Kudrow's potrayal of Cherish has earned her two Emmy nominations for lead actress in a comedy series. Earlier this year, the "Friends" star also made Variety's list of the best television performances of the 21st century, coming in at No. 4. Alongside Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman and Damian Young will be returning to the series. Notably absent is Robert Michael Morris, who played Cherish's hairdresser, Mickey Deane, and died in 2017. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
