Former child star Tina Majorino spotted on rare outing in LA
An iconic child star who shared the screen with Kevin Costner in 1995's flop Waterworld was spotted out on a rare outing in Los Angeles this week. Tina Majorino, now 40, looked casual in a black vest top and shorts as she strolled around Thousand Oaks - 30 years after her turn as Enola in the post-apocalyptic blockbuster. Majorino, who is also known for her roles in Napoleon Dynamite and Grey's Anatomy completed her ensemble with a baseball cap and sneakers. As well as Waterworld, Majorino starred in a string of films in the 1990s including Andre, When A Man Loves A Woman, and Corrina, Corrina. While the 1995 film was a box office disappointment, the actress previously said she has nothing but fond memories of working with Costner. She said: 'No matter how crazy everything off the set became, he showed up to work every day just wanting to do the best work possible.' Majorino continued: 'He loves doing this just for the sake of doing it, and every time [that I've collaborated with someone] who has had that mentality, it's always been a fulfilling experience.' She portrayed Deb in 2004 cult classic Napoleon Dynamite alongside Jon Heder as the titular character and Efren Ramirez as Pedro Sanchez - which marked her return to acting after a five year hiatus. In a 2014 interview the former child star said: 'I read Napoleon Dynamite and instantly I was like, 'I don't even care if I get it, I have to audition for this movie! 'I think I was 17 – it was the first script that I read coming out of my sabbatical – and I was like, "this is hilarious."' She added: 'That film was a huge lesson for me in following my gut. It was pure magic and 100% reignited my love of filmmaking.' Napoleon Dynamite tells the story of an awkward and alienated teenager who helps his new friend Pedro win the class presidency at their high school in Preston, Idaho. The film, co-written by Jared and his wife Jerusha, was shot in just 22 days on a production budget of $400,000, before grossing over $46million worldwide and becoming a cult classic. Napoleon Dynamite premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004 and was bought by Fox Searchlight Pictures, which joined forces with MTV and Paramount Pictures to distribute the film. The film enjoyed a limited release that June, before its widespread release in August.

The 10 best water parks in the UK
A weekend spent at a water park might be the perfect family trip. The chutes, flumes and slides are a diverting attraction for children of all ages (and secretly a lot of fun for the adults, too). There are plenty of options across the country, from toddler-friendly paddling pools to adrenaline-boosting watersports. Mercifully, most of Britain's water parks have both indoor and outdoor options, which means that whether it's a heatwave-filled summer or a gloomy Sunday afternoon, there's plenty of fun to be had. We've rounded up 10 of the UK 's best water parks, covering everything from wave machines to waterborne obstacle courses. 1. Waterworld, Stoke, Staffordshire Waterworld offers high-octane rides alongside space for relaxation. Speed down Nucleus in a rubber ring before lowering your adrenaline in the laidback bubble pool, or take on the twisting, turning, thrill-filled rides in Tornado Alley. There are plenty of pint-sized slides for toddlers, while adventurous teens can brave the rapids. Opening times: Open 10am-3pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays; 10am-5:30pm at weekends.
