Bella Hadid is looking to expand her career beyond modelling with her upcoming role in FX’s The Beauty. The supermodel, who has graced the covers of Vogue more than 30 times and was named Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2022, recently shared her aspirations during the show’s New York City premiere.

“I would love to keep continuing acting after this. This is a dream of mine,” Hadid told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve brought my art side and my creativity to modeling, but at the end of the day, I love being able to move, and I love film and acting in general. I love actors because they can be different characters for so many different people.”

Hadid highlighted the opportunity to work with Ryan Murphy as a major factor in joining the project. “Ryan has just an incredible brain. I love his brain. I love his heart. He’s somebody I really look up to when it comes to directing, and I think he brings fantasy into so many things. I’m just grateful that he brought me onto this opportunity,” she said.

In The Beauty, Hadid portrays a model who becomes part of a dark narrative involving a super drug that wreaks havoc in the fashion world. While her character is a model, Hadid emphasised that the experience was very different from her real-life profession. “The modeling has no connection to what I did on this set, to be honest, it was the complete opposite of anything I’ve ever done,” she noted.

The series, which stars Ashton Kutcher as a tech billionaire, explores the extremes people will go to for beauty. Hadid’s message is simple: “Just be who you are.” The cast also includes Evan Peters, Rebecca Hall, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, with a host of guest stars including Isabella Rossellini, Jaquel Spivey and Vincent D’Onofrio. The first three episodes premiere on January 21, 2026, followed by weekly releases.

Hadid began her modeling career aged 16. She was signed to IMG Models in August 2014, and made her New York Fashion Week debut the following month. In 2016, she was voted “Model of the Year” by industry professionals for Models.com. In 2017, Hadid broke Doutzen Kroes’s record for the most Vogue September covers in one year by appearing in five international editions. As of 2023, Hadid was one of the world’s highest paid models, earning $19 million. Hadid was born on October 9, 1996, in Washington, D.C. Her father, Mohamed Hadid, is a Palestinian-American real estate developer, while her mother, Yolanda Hadid (née van den Herik), is a Dutch former model. Through her father, Hadid claims descent from Daher al-Umar, ruler of northern Palestine in the mid-18th century. She has an older sister, Gigi Hadid, and a younger brother, both of whom are also models.

She also has two older paternal half-sisters. In May 2025, Hadid and her sister Gigi announced in a statement that they have a younger half sister through their father named Aydan Nix. They shared that they connected with Nix in late 2023. Nix was welcomed by her mother, Terri Hatfield Dull, after a brief relationship with Mohamed that came after his divorce from Yolanda. Hadid and her siblings were raised on a ranch in Santa Barbara, California. The family moved to Beverly Hills after ten years. Hadid’s childhood home was destroyed in January 2025 due to the series of wildfires in Southern California.

As a teenager, Hadid was an equestrian and dreamed of competing at the 2016 Summer Olympics, although she competed in equitation, which is not an Olympic discipline. She was diagnosed, along with her mother and brother, with chronic Lyme disease in 2012. During her high school years, Hadid experienced difficulties with inattention and was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She was prescribed Adderall, but subsequently developed anorexia as a result of the appetite suppressant.

Kianna Underwood, the former child actress best known for her role on Nickelodeon’s sketch series All That, has died at the age of 33 following a hit and run incident in New York. Her family confirmed the news in a social media post, prompting an outpouring of grief from fans and former viewers who grew up watching her on screen.

According to police, officers responded to reports shortly before 7am of a pedestrian being struck by a grey vehicle at the intersection of Pitkin Avenue and Mother Gaston Boulevard in Brooklyn. Authorities said the victim suffered severe trauma to her head and body and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services. The driver left the scene and no arrests have been made so far, with the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad continuing to investigate the incident.

Underwood rose to prominence as part of the tenth season of All That, appearing on the long running Nickelodeon series during 2004 and 2005. The show had previously launched the careers of major stars including Amanda Bynes and Kenan Thompson, and Underwood’s time on the programme made her a familiar face to a generation of young viewers.

Beyond All That, Underwood built a varied career across television, film and theatre. She lent her voice to the animated series Little Bill, which aired between 1999 and 2004 and featured an ensemble cast including Phylicia Rashad, Gregory Hines, Tyler James Williams and Ruby Dee. She also appeared in the 1999 film The 24 Hour Woman alongside Rosie Perez and Patti LuPone, and voiced a character in the 2001 television movie Santa, Baby! with Patti LaBelle, Vanessa Williams and Eartha Kitt. In addition, Underwood was cast in the original national tour of the musical Hairspray, further showcasing her range as a performer.

News of her death has sparked widespread reaction online. Fans have shared clips, photos and memories from her Nickelodeon years, with many expressing shock at the sudden loss. Messages of condolence have flooded comment sections, while posts remembering her talent and early promise have circulated widely across social media platforms. Several viewers described how All That shaped their childhoods and credited Underwood as part of that shared experience.

As tributes continue to grow, questions remain around the circumstances of the crash and the search for the driver involved. For many, however, the focus has been on remembering Underwood’s contributions to children’s television and the mark she left on pop culture during her early career. Her death has resonated deeply with fans who remember her not only as a performer, but as part of a formative era in Nickelodeon history.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, also known as Colson Baker, are no longer romantically involved, a source confirmed to PEOPLE. The pair, who welcomed their daughter Saga Blade in March 2025, have shifted their focus entirely to co-parenting.

“Whatever they had romantically is done,” the insider said. “Their relationship at this point is just about co-parenting. Megan is focused on her kids and the baby and just getting settled into this new chapter. That’s genuinely her priority.”

Fox, 39, shares three sons, Noah, 13, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9, with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green. MGK, 35, is also dad to 16-year-old daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, sources say the couple maintains a strong family dynamic. “Things are great now. He’s amazing with the baby and she very much enjoys spending time with him,” the source added.

In October 2025, the two were seen spending time together and acting like a couple, though nothing was official. The birth of Saga reportedly brought them closer, allowing them to prioritise their child while maintaining separate homes.

While Fox is not currently in a romantic relationship, the source notes she remains open to the possibility in the future. “If something came along naturally and felt right, she’d be open to it. She’s just not thinking about it or chasing anything,” the insider said.

Representatives for both Fox and Kelly did not respond to requests for comment. The former couple’s focus now remains firmly on creating a stable and loving environment for their daughter Saga and their blended families.

Fox began her training in dance and drama at age five, in Kingston, Tennessee. She attended a dance class at the community center there and was involved in Kingston Elementary School’s chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. At age 10, after moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Fox continued her training. When she was 13 years old, Fox began modeling after winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Fox attended high school at Morningside Academy in Port St. Lucie until her junior year when she attended St. Lucie West Centennial High School. When she was 17, she tested out of school via correspondence to move to Los Angeles, California.

Machine Gun Kelly released four mixtapes from 2007 to 2010 before he signed with Sean Combs’ Bad Boy Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, in 2011. His debut studio album, Lace Up (2012), peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and was led by the single “Wild Boy” (featuring Waka Flocka Flame), which marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and received triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second and third albums, General Admission (2015) and Bloom (2017), were both met with critical praise and similar commercial success; the latter was supported by the single “Bad Things” (with Camila Cabello), which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100.

The premiere of the documentary film, ‘Rang Hai Dil Ka Mere’, made on Pakistan’s eminent actor, director, broadcaster, and the owner of a unique voice and diction, Zia Mohyeddin, was held at a cinema in the city. The film, completed after nearly 15 years of tireless effort, covers Zia Mohyeddin’s higher education at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in the United Kingdom, his role in the famous 1960s film, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, his celebrated PTV show, the ‘Zia Mohyeddin Show’, and his many years of service as the head of the National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA).

The 100-minute documentary, ‘Rang Hai Dil Ka Mere’, will be screened on January 30 in selected cinemas in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore.

The film was recorded at NAPA, Karachi and various locations in Karachi and Lahore, while the editing process alone took nearly two years.

The premiere ceremony of ‘Rang Hai Dil Ka Mere’, which encompasses the artistic services and personal life of the late renowned actor, broadcaster, and director Zia Mohyeddin, was held at the well-known Nueplex Cinema in Defence Phase 8. A large number of admirers of Urdu literature and fine arts attended the event. Credit for creating this unique film—unprecedented in Pakistan—goes to its director, Umar Riaz. While studying drama in the United States, he decided to pay tribute to this multifaceted Pakistani personality in a distinctive manner.

Before fully realizing this idea, Umar Riaz made a short video of Zia Mohyeddin’s recitation and took it to his academy in the United States. Despite not knowing Urdu, the English instructors there were deeply captivated by Zia Mohyeddin’s recitation, which encouraged him to expand the short video into a full-length documentary. Work on the film began during Zia Mohyeddin’s lifetime. Although thorough research and filming took considerable time, the final version of the film stands as a unique experiment of its kind.

Speaking to Express News, director Umar Riaz said that before beginning production, each frame of the film was envisioned conceptually from multiple angles. Extensive research was conducted on Zia Mohyeddin’s long list of artistic contributions. The film highlights not only his work in Hollywood and Britain, but also his television career in Pakistan and, in particular, his enduring association with the National Academy of Performing Arts, where he remained active until the end of his life.

According to Umar Riaz, much of his inspiration for making the film came from watching Zia Mohyeddin’s recitations of Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poetry and, at times, Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib’s letters. These were occasions when audiences would arrive well before the scheduled time, often resulting in a shortage of seating. The rapt attention with which people listened to Zia Mohyeddin’s recitation was a unique experience for him.

It cannot be claimed that the documentary presents Zia Mohyeddin’s entire body of work, as time constraints made it impossible to depict everything. However, it can be said that an effort was made to ‘contain an ocean in a small vessel’. The complete production took 15 years, with approximately two years devoted to editing.

The film shows that when Zia Mohyeddin returned to Pakistan after his role in ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, a large number of fans were present at the airport to welcome him. He was among the first Pakistani actors to appear in an expensive Hollywood film, playing the role of an Arab Tafas in 1962. Despite limited screen time, his impactful performance established his talent, and he came to be counted among the pioneering Pakistani actors to appear in a major international production.

According to Zia Mohyeddin’s wife, Azra, during the first ten years of the film’s development, most consultations were held directly with Zia Mohyeddin himself. Although he was able to see only a portion of the filmed material, much was conveyed in that limited duration. She is confident that Umar Riaz’s hard work will not go to waste, as the film is the result of long and dedicated effort.

Renowned intellectual and cultural thinker Javed Jabbar stated that the manner in which this documentary has been woven together gives it a unique and outstanding dimension—an experiment never before attempted in Pakistan. He added that documentary films, often referred to as ‘dast?vezi’ films in Pakistan, have never been given the status they deserve. There is a common misconception that documentaries are limited in scope or confined to specific subjects, which is entirely incorrect. Through such films, a perspective can be effectively conveyed, as director Umar Riaz has done masterfully in ‘Rang Hai Dil Ka Mere’. This experiment possesses a distinct and remarkable quality.

The film also includes reflections from Zia Mohyeddin’s two former wives as well as from the daughters of Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Conversations by Syeda Arifa Zahra and Daud Rahbar about Zia Mohyeddin are prominently featured, shedding light on habits and principles of his that are not widely known to the public.

At the end of the documentary, Zia Mohyeddin is shown travelling by car through the streets of Lahore, searching for his house in an upscale area. Years later, the house has changed its appearance entirely. He is seen reminiscing about the 14 jamun (black plum) trees that once stood nearby, most of which have since been cut down. Seeing concrete houses replace greenery in front of his former home, he expresses visible sorrow.

According to the film team, ‘Rang Hai Dil Ka Mere’ will be released on January 30 in selected cinemas in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore.
