    Tamara Ecclestone has two daughters, 10-year-old Sophia and four-year-old Serena, with her husband Jay Rutland and has been very open about her parenting style despite online trolls16:21, 18 Feb 2025Tamara Ecclestone is still breastfeeding her 4 year old.The socialite is no longer fazed by criticism from online trolls and the model, best known as the daughter of former Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone, has two children – Fifi, 10, and Serena, 4 – with her husband Jay Rutland.She recently opened up about turning 40 over the summer and how liberating it has been. Tamara also addressed the backlash she faced after revealing that she was still breastfeeding her 4 year old.”I think as women you get flack for everything, whether it’s that or something else, and to be honest it’s really water off a duck’s back at this point,” she told Closer. Speaking about the freedom she’s found in turning 40 and how it’s shifted her perspective, Tamara said: “I feel turning 40 is a very liberating experience and you don’t really worry about things that you did in your twenties. I would never want to go back in time.”Tamara breastfeeds her four-year-oldThis isn’t the first time Tamara has come under fire for her parenting choices as last spring, she faced backlash from followers after unveiling the exotic pet she had purchased for her daughter. On Sophia’s 10th birthday, Tamara shared a photo of her posing next to a sloth in their family home, reports the Mirror.In the image, Sophia can be seen holding the sloth’s head while it dangles from a branch in their living room, but fans were quick to slam the model for bringing the rainforest dweller into her posh London pad. One fan blasted: “Sloths are solitary creatures who want to be left alone, thus unlike household animals, they do not like to be touched. They don’t like humans either. I love your page but this sucks. These creatures are NOT for your enjoyment.”Ecclestone was slammed for hiring a sloth for her daughter’s birthdayAnother chimed in with disgust: “I’m disgusted by this. I’m unfollowing.” A third was livid, saying: “Unfollowed because this is just wrong on so many levels. Shame on you Tamara.”Another follower scolded: “The world doesn’t revolve around your children. You don’t have to drag wild animals into your house for your children’s amusement. This is just disgusting and stupid.”Wrong move Tamara. It shocks and stuns me that in 2024 people still use animals for things like this,” another added sarcastically.Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

We used AI to find out what he would look like if it was brought out now, and it turns out the results are quite different.Grease stole the world’s hearts after being released in 1978 when it became fans’ favourite love story for decades to come. The story was set in the summer of 1958 and followed lead characters Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson [Olivia Newton-John], fall in love with one another despite their social challenges.In the film, Danny Zuko is the leader of the T-Birds who are at the top of the social standing tower at Rydell High School, and is the male protagonist of the musical’s 1978 film adaptation.The character appeared to experiment more with styleIn the first picture, John could be seen sporting a denim jacket but not in the usual oversized style of the T-birds, but instead, a cropped design. John has been can be seen dancing as he likely films himself busting a move to a viral TikTok routine.In the second snap, he has ditched the cigarettes for an e-cigarette or vape, to fit in with the youth of today’s tastes of leaving smoking behind.The character seemed to pick up another habitThirdly, a more femme look appears as the character can be seen sporting lipstick and a pink jacket, showing that lead characters are more welcomed in ditching gender norms when it comes to physical expression nowadays, with the lines becoming increasingly blurred between masculinity and femininity in fashion these days.He also appeared to try on make-upSpeaking to Yahoo in a 2019 interview, the actor reminisced about landing his dream role of Danny as he labels it “a dream come true”.

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre used real skeleton in twisted scene for sick reason

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the most iconic horror movies ever made, but something happened behind-the-scenes that was far more terrifying than the film’s blood-thirsty villain14:23, 18 Feb 2025Updated 14:40, 18 Feb 2025Real skeletons were used in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for a bizarre reason.While filming for the 1974 horror film, production used real skeletons for the infamous dinner scene, which featured the massive prop hanging from the ceiling. It has been reported that back in the day, using real skeletons was a far cheaper option than purchasing a fake one.Reportedly, art director Robert A. Burns searched high and low through the countryside in an attempt to find real animal corpses, including eight cows, three goats, two dogs, two deer, one chicken, a cat and an armadillo.He said: “There were only about 10 plastic bones in the whole set.”The iconic horror movie was released back in 1974Over the years more shocking facts about the film’s behind-the-scenes process have come to light, including one seriously dangerous stunt. Leatherface’s first attack on Kirk, who can be seen wriggling around on the floor before being dragged away, was not completely fake.The prop hammer was (luckily) made of foam, however actor Gunnar Hansen was not actually supposed to hurt William Vail at all. Hansen spoke about the incident and explained that he was “completely charged up on adrenaline”.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a cult classic”So when Bill tripped and I stepped out of the shadows, I actually hit him in the face with the sledgehammer. I finished him off — not a direct blow this time — and picked him up to drag him out of the way.”He then tossed Vail into a wall headfirst, which left horrified production manager Ron Bozman in a panic as he rushed to check on the actor.Vail said: “He just saw the whole movie coming to an end because I had been crippled and I was going to sue, and I’ve broken my neck.”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.
