Tanya Roberts, who co-starred on That ’70s Show and Charlie’s Angels, passed away Sunday. She was 65.

Roberts reportedly collapsed at home following a walk with her dogs on Christmas Eve, a rep for Roberts told TMZ. She was hospitalized and put on a ventilator, but never recovered. The official cause of death is currently unknown.

The actress was perhaps best known as Donna Pinciotti’s mom, Midge, on That 70’s Show, a woman who was consistently the center of attention to all the young neighborhood guys. She appeared in 81 episodes from 1998-2004, but eventually left the series to care for her sick husband.

Roberts had a year-long stint on Charlie’s Angels, playing Julie Rogers in Season 5 (1980-1981). Rogers helped fellow Angels Kris and Kelly (Cheryl Ladd and Jacyln Smith, respectively) solve crimes until the series’ cancellation in 1981. Her other TV credits include The Love Boat, Silk Stalkings, Fantasy Island, The Blues Brothers Animated Series and Barbershop.

Though she began her career as a model in commercials for products like Excedrin, Ultra Brite, Clairol and Cool Ray sunglasses, Roberts ultimately bridged her career to film, where she was best known for starring in the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill, in which she played Stacey Sutton opposite of Roger Moore. In addition, she starred in slasher movies and B-films like Tourist Trap, The Beastmaster and Sheena.

Roberts is survived by her husband, Lance, and her sister Barbara Chase.

From the moment it was announced, we’ve been ready to dive into John Logan’s “spiritual descendant” of his sublime original Showtime series. But could City of Angels possibly live up to the promise of its bloodline? Would we be drawn in as quickly and deeply by Magda, her accomplices and opponents, as we were Vanessa Ives and the Creature? After you’ve checked out TVLine’s review, read on. First, we’ll unpack “Santa Muerte,” then you can debate it out in the comments.

penny-dreadful-city-of-angels-recap-season-1-episode-1-premiere‘WELCOME TO HOMICIDE, DETECTIVE VEGA’ | In a prologue that was as gorgeous as it was unsettling, Magda informed her sister, the angel of death Santa Muerte (Lorenza Izzo), that “there will come a time when the world is ready for me, when nation will battle nation, when race will devour race, when brother will kill brother… until not a soul is left.” Yeah, Magda’s a real life-of-the-party type. “A leader will arise and set all the kingdoms to war,” added Debbie Downer. To get the fire lit, “all it will take is one final spark.” Clearly, Magda had the power to strike that match, too; she was, after all, about to send an entire field full of Mexican-American laborers up in flames merely by walking through it. Which didn’t seem to faze Santa Muerte — more souls for her to escort to heaven. But she did want her sister to leave be one boy in particular. In fact, when the youngster’s father was being burned up, Santa Muerte went so far as to repel him, leaving on his shoulder a mark that he still had as an adult. When we flashed forward to 1938, we learned that that kid had grown up to be Tiago Vega (Fear the Walking Dead’s Daniel Zovatto), who’d just become the LAPD’s first Mexican-American detective (and might turn out to be humanity’s answer to a fire extinguisher).

At a family party celebrating Tiago’s achievement, there was cake and beer and… tension. So. Much. Tension. Vega matriarch Maria (Adriana Barraza) was painfully aware that on Monday, bulldozers would roll in advance of construction on a freeway that would bisect her kitchen and ultimately destroy their whole community. And the oldest of her four children, Raul (Adam Rodriguez), not only planned to block that construction by any means necessary, he behaved as if his brother’s accomplishment was borderline traitorous. Maybe not even borderline. Though Tiago wasn’t to start his new job until Monday, he got called in the day before by his partner, veteran cop Lewis Michener (Pepper Saltzman Nathan Lane), who had been called in by their captain, Vanderhoff (Data Brent Spiner). Not because he especially wanted Michener on the case, it turned out, but because he wanted Tiago on it. “This is some spic thing,” Michener deduced when they arrived at the L.A. River and saw a message written in blood in Spanish: “You take our heart, we take yours.” All four victims had had their faces carved to resemble Day of the Dead masks, and their hearts removed. Back at the precinct, Vanderhoff told the detectives that the deceased(s) had been ID’d as James Hazlet and his family, Richie Rich white folks from Beverly Hills. “If this gets out, we’re looking at a race war,” he said. “You don’t know how much I wish those bodies were Mexican.” Oy.

penny-dreadful-city-of-angels-recap-season-1-episode-1-premiere‘I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW I’M CHICANO’ | The next day, Maria arrived for work as the housekeeper of a swanky mansion owned by German expat Peter Craft (erstwhile Creature Rory Kinnear), a pediatrician who spent his lunch hours marching with the pro-Nazi German-American Bund. He was good at it, too, using charm and analogy to dissuade Americans from having any interest whatsoever in what was going on over in Europe. (Vile as the character is, it was nice to see Rory Kinnear not looking cadaverous.) On the flip side, Peter’s home life didn’t seem like it often ended the way that his familiar “America first” speech did — in applause. Wife Linda (Piper Perabo), based on what little we saw of her, had the personality of a hangover. (She was also so fond of the drink that her husband recommended to Maria that, um, “she should not perhaps take any alcohol.” Good luck with that, Maria.) At the office, Peter treated an asthmatic boy named Frank (The Kids Are Alright’s Pat, Santino Barnard). But it was really his mother Elsa (a blonde Magda!) who had his attention. A fellow German, she appealed to him nine ways to Sunday — by complaining about being neighbors with Jews in Boyle Heights, by sharing that her idiotic American husband hurt her and their son, by batting her eyelashes as if she was trying to make little hearts flutter out of them. And he bought it hook, line and sinker. So she was pretty pleased with herself as she stepped into the elevator and, for lack or a better term, absorbed Frank.

While Tiago and Michener were grabbing a bite, the former asked the latter why he’d taken him on as a partner. “‘Cause no one else wanted you,” the older man replied before asking how come Tiago never wore a hat. He wanted his heritage front and center, the newly-minted detective explained. Before they headed to the Hazlet house to look for clues, Tiago added that he’d ask his mother about the makeup/carvings on the victims. In addition to being heavily into the religion based on Santa Muerte and her peers, Maria believed that she was a witch. (And why not?) Later, at the Hazlet mansion, the detectives learned that the family was super-involved in the cultish religion fronted by radio evangelist Sister Molly (Halt and Catch Fire’s Kerry Bishé, whom we didn’t meet here… her pictures were all over the house, though). They also found out that Hazlet was one of the developers working on the freeway that was going to upend his family’s neighborhood. The plot thickens… Meanwhile, at a public hearing about the development at City Hall, Transportation Commissioner Charlton Townsend (Michael Gladis) worked overtime to call to mind a certain someone: He barked that he could, too, throw out the press or “do whatever the hell I want.” And when Raul asked where he and his neighbors were supposed to go when their community was destroyed, Townsend spat, “Where you came from is not a bad answer.” (Need I even mention that Raul was born in L.A.? Didn’t think so.)

penny-dreadful-city-of-angels-recap-season-1-episode-1-premiere‘THIS IS OUR HOME, AND WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT!’ | After the hearing descended into a demonstration of police brutality, Townsend retired to his office with his fawning right-hand woman (Magda, this time putting her own spin on Miss Hathaway from The Beverly Hillbillies). Though she stroked his ego raw, he couldn’t resist patting himself on the back, too. He was like Mussolini, he reckoned. Maybe even Hitler. “Now there’s a fellow who understands the judicious exercise of power!” Luckily — for viewers, not him — he’d soon find his swelled head in a vise. A subsequent meeting arranged by his version of Eva Braun with German architect Richard Goss set up Townsend to become mayor. But he would, in effect, become Hitler’s yes man. The Fuhrer looks at L.A., Goss explained, and dreams. When Townsend floated the idea of ratting out Goss and his operatives to the FBI, the architect shared that his limo driver was actually gestapo, and if their conversation didn’t end in a handshake, it was going to end with a gunshot. “I won’t betray my country,” said Townsend with all the conviction I say I don’t want a second glass of wine. “Of course you will,” replied Goss. And he was right. That evening, Tiago asked his mother to let him know if she heard about any crazy black masses or anything in honor of Santa Muerte. And she agreed to be his informant, so long as the boy the angel of death had marked thought about one thing for his mama: “You might need [Santa Muerte] one day,” she said. “What will do you do then?”

After the Vegas shared a delightful mother/son dance at the music store, he encouraged baby brother Mateo to stay away from the construction site on Monday. He’d have tried with Raul, too, but there was no way the activist was sitting this fight out. “You go against the cops, they’ll shoot you down like animals,” Tiago warned. “That’s what you are to them.” In response, Raul asked where his heart was. Ow, bro. The following day, Michener was adding Goss’ photo to his Nazi-centric home crime board when Tiago stopped by to say that he wasn’t going to the construction site, as all the cops had been ordered to. Lemme get this straight, said Michener. “It’s your second day on the job, and you’re not gonna be there” — on the day of what promises to be a race riot. C’mon, dude, he added (minus the “dude”). “In this life, you’re a cowboy or you’re an Indian. You’d better f—ing choose.” That night, Maria managed to conjure up Santa Muerte, who was none too pleased about being awakened. Still, Maria persevered, pleading for her help. In response, Santa Muerte reminded her that she had no heart for the living, only the dead. So “if your leg is in a trap, you must chew it off yourself.” (OK, yeah, now I see the resemblance to Magda.) “Will you sleep,” Maria challenged, “as your bitch of a sister conquers heaven?” At that, Santa Muerte growled and vanished, presumably to get a cup of coffee. Off this unsatisfying exchange, Maria ran to Tiago and basically said, “Tag, you’re Buffy” — in other words, Santa Muerte’s chosen one. So the riot that’s a-brewin’, “you have to stop it, whatever it takes,” she told her son. Or “it all ends in blood.”

‘YOU CAN’T STOP THIS’ | When at last Monday arrived, Tiago walked into a tense standoff between the Mexican-American community and the police. Unfortunately, Magda was also on the scene, walking by the cops like an ill wind blowing softly in their ears. Tiago did his best to defuse the situation. “Shame!” cried Raul. But Tiago persevered, pointing out to his people that hey, they knew him. “I used to play on this street.” Hell, his mother lived just yonder. Nonetheless, “you can’t stop this,” he said. And at that moment, Magda whispered to a young uniformed cop, he pulled the trigger of his rifle, and all hell broke loose. Amid all the chaos, Magda worked her wiles on Raul, and next thing we knew, he was shooting cop after cop after cop. He even winged Michener, forcing Tiago to kill his own brother rather than let him put a fatal bullet in his partner. And if you were wondering what Magda kept saying to her pawns, she informed us (and Santa Muerte) at the beginning of the episode: “All mankind needs to be the monster he truly is, is being told he can.” Dire.

Marco Ferrarese
August 21, 2018

In the mesmerizing mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, a young adventure tour company is doing all it can to bring tourists back to Pakistan. Marco Ferrarese goes full-throttle.

I’m riding a mean 150cc Suzuki along a barren strip of rocks and sand that most would never dare to call a ‘road’. And yet, in the mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, this is the main 200-kilometer link between the legendary Karakoram Highway and Skardu, a lesser-known, but no less stunning, high-altitude desert valley.

As my wheels screech in the rubble, I squeeze to the right near the edge of a 20-meter drop. My wife, Kit Yeng, is sandwiched between my back and a couple of packs. Cold sweat rolls down my spine as I watch the Indus River run and crash between a majestic gorge of fang-like rocks that jut out below us.

Gulping, I look ahead and try to keep cool as I twist the throttle to overtake the pick-up truck that clogs my passage. It puffs exhaust fumes and dust into my face, choking me and blurring my vision. Its back is converted into rows of cages filled with chickens, half of them dead. Each time I get near the meat wagon, the pungent whiff of dying birds, old blood and fresh faeces slaps my nostrils.

What the hell am I doing here? I’ve desperately wanted to visit the northern regions of Pakistan for the past six years. My main problem was obtaining a visa … Given Pakistan’s security situation, one can only apply in his or her country of birth or residence, supported by plenty of paperwork, and a tour operator willing to issue a crucial invitation letter and take full responsibility for each traveler.

RELATED: Hiking remote, spectacular Afghanistan

I had almost given up, when, at the beginning of this year, I found Karakoram Bikers. For the past couple of years, this small, Gilgit-based motorcycle company has offered visa support, organized self-driving adventure tours and rented out bikes to 180-plus international tourists. They are working against all odds to change the general perception that Pakistan is a dangerous nation dominated by terrorism.

“Travelers think that a visa sponsorship is a very small thing to do, but on the contrary, it’s a big responsibility to me,” says Syed Hamza Mobeen, better known as Shah, the Lahore-born co-founder of Karakoram Bikers. “If anything happens to that person, the government will come to me first. Also, it’s not legal to issue an invitation letter to someone who’s not with you on a tour.”

“In 2014, I went off to Skardu and the Deosai National Park with 10 other bikers,” remembers Shah. “And in 2015, we followed up with another two-week trip through Swat Valley, Gilgit, Skardu, Deosai and back to Lahore.” He first fell in love with the Karakoram mountains 20 years ago on a Boy Scout outing to a local hill station. In 2012, Shah backpacked to the fabled Hunza Valley, ever mindful of the beauty of Pakistan’s northern regions.

After every trip, Shah and his gang were excited to share their pictures and videos with the world. “There’s a very popular Indian Facebook group called The Himalayan Club,” says Shah. “It felt natural to post photos of our mountain discoveries. But given the troubled relationship between the two nations, the group’s administrators asked us to stop mentioning Pakistan in our captions and geotags, and ultimately banned us”.

Angered, Shah and two friends decided to create their own page, The Karakoram Club, adding local trekkers, riders and hiking enthusiasts into their fold. The community has grown exponentially into 188,000 active members who share suggestions and insights. Many foreigners with a burning desire to travel to Pakistan began signing up for news too.

“The potential for adventure tourism in Pakistan is enormous,” says Liz Norman, Shah’s Australian wife  and co-founder of Karakoram Bikers. “Those who visit end up loving Pakistan, and us, as we make it very easy for them to come here.” The couple met online, where Shah saw some of Liz’s posts about her motorbike trip to Ladakh in India. He invited her to experience the beauty of the Karakoram mountains on two wheels.

As they stood awe-struck before the Passu Cones, a sheer wall of cathedral-like rock formations in the northern stretch of Hunza, they agreed that such beauty couldn’t remain hidden from the rest of the world. And Karakoram Bikers was born.

Tabish’s claims aren’t just anecdotal either. According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, civilian deaths as a result of terrorist attacks in Pakistan peaked in 2013 and have gradually declined in the years since, with fewer in 2017 than at any time since 2005.

In my 31 days scooting around the country, I found hospitable people, decent infrastructure, attractive—if empty—guesthouses, and some of the most jovial police and army officers I’d ever encountered. All told, it was also far less hassle to travel through than neighboring India. Security measures for foreign visitors are certainly tight—I was given an armed escort in several areas near the Afghan border—and for good reason, but I also had an army lieutenant treat me to a hot chai and cookies during passport control.

RELATED: Why we should travel to ‘dangerous’ places

By bringing tourists in, Karakoram Bikers also helps the locals make a source of livelihood. Without the higher-spending international guests who need English-speaking guides, porters and drivers, many of the young villagers in the rural areas are forced to leave their homes and families behind. Jobs are a 16-hour-plus bus ride south to Islamabad, a place ripe with Chinese investment. Others move four hours further south, to Lahore.

“If we sell a multi-day tour for $ 1,000, 80 per cent of that is re-invested into hiring local drivers, booking locally owned hotels, and eating at local restaurants,” explains Shah. “We retain 20 per cent and the rest goes back into the local communities.”

Surely we only just had a Charlie’s Angels reboot?

The Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu movies seem fresh in the memory, but the second one, Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle, actually came out 15 years ago.

This time around a female director is creating an entire new world for teh classic stories, with numerous trios of secret agents around the world.

Elizabeth Bank’s 2019 version will focus on one threesome, though, featuring these actresses. 

Trade bible The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed all the details about the new movie.

The new Charlie’s Angels project has been lined up for a September 2019 release date.

As was previously rumoured, Kristen Stewart is the rather unexpected main draw. After her star-making turn in the four Twilight vampire movies and the first Snow White reboot, she distanced herself from blockbuster fodder, but appears ready to re-enter the mainstream after a string of arthouse and indie movies. 

The other two Angels will be played by up and coming stars.

The first will be much more famous by the time Angels is released. Naomi Scott will play Jasmine in the April 2019 live action version of Aladdin, directed by Guy Ritchie.

Young British star Ella Balinska, however, has only previously appeared in episodes on Midsummer Murders and A Winter’s Tale. 

Banks had great success with her directorial debut on Pitch Perfect 2.

The actress will also star as Boseley, Charlie’s iconic intermediary with the Angels’, as well as producing and co-writing the movie. 

Banks said: “Charlie’s Angels, for me, is one of the original brands to celebrate the empowered woman since its debut in the ’70s. This film honors the legacy of Charles Townsend and his agency while introducing a new era of modern and global Angels.

“I couldn’t be more excited to work with Kristen, Naomi and Ella to bring this chapter to fans around the world.”

CHARLIE’S ANGELS IS OUT ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

    Read the full transcript below:

    Brian Wong – Kiip, CEO & Co-founder: So in 50 years I think the world will, in terms of technology, really change and really this concept I call proximity of tech – which is how close the technology is to your body. And right now where it’s kind of silly, we hold things and we wear things and it’s kind of at our hands, right? At our feet right, right? And we might put it on over our faces but the whole point is just getting it into our eyeballs, into our ears, into our stomachs. Ingestibles are already a thing, it’s crazy, you literally ingest these pills these robot pills that can obviously see what you’re eating and all these things and all your caloric intake, it’s amazing. And then you know you’ve heard of startups like Magic Leap where they’re doing AR for your world; I should just be able to load my emails then like do this, then do this, that’s literally what will happen I think in 50 years, everything will just come inside and that to me is really, really exciting.

    Two Victoria’s Secret Angels did just that during a recent trip – but rather than soaking up the sun on an exotic beach, the duo were in freezing cold Antartica.

    Jasmine Tookes, 26, and Josephine Skriver, 24, shared images of themselves enjoying everything the snowy location has to offer.

    But as well as the usual boat trips among the icebergs and trips to see penguins, the duo did something more out of the ordinary.

    The models are very used to posing in their swimsuits, and even the cold weather couldn’t put them off.

    They took the opportunity to strip down to their swimming costumes and frolic in the snow.

    Sharing a video to Insta stories, Jasmine wrote: “Call us crazy ;)”

    Jasmine wore a crisp white plunge neck costume, while Josephine slipped into a baby pink costume with cutout sides.

    A giant ship in the background perhaps gave a clue as to how they had got out to the remote location.

    In another post, Jasmine said the trip was “the best way to start the new year.”

    She continued: “This is going to be such an exciting and incredible experience.

    “Anyone who knows me well knows this is a trip definitely out of my comfort zone. Proud of myself for taking the leap and trying something adventurous.”

    The models were last seen walking in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in Shanghai in November.

    The catwalk was a riot of colour, with Candice Swanepoel in a bright red and orange outfit.

    Victoria’s Secret also opted for a grecian theme, with Bella and Candice both seen in gold head pieces and flowing fabrics reminiscent of Ancient Greece.

    A fun and flirty atmosphere was the order of the day for the show, with Bella Hadid dancing at the front of the catwalk as she laughed along to the music.

    All of the models did a long walk at the end, clapping their hands and waving to the crowd.

    Lima, 36, is the longest-serving Victoria’s Secret model ever. At this time, it’s unclear if Lima will make it to Shanghai, China, as her visa has been reportedly delayed because of an “ongoing diplomatic problem.”

    Alessandra Ambrosio, 36, will walk in the show this year. She has been in over 10 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.

    The model helped launch Victoria’s Secret PINK in 1999 and wore the Fantasy Bra in 2014.

    Behati Prinsloo, 28, will return for her ninth Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Prinsloo has been an Angel since 2009.

    Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2017 is set to take place today in China, and models will no doubt have been preparing for the extravaganza for months with strict diet and exercise.

    Models such as Elsa Hosk and Martha Hunt shared images and videos of themselves as they flew into Shanghai on Friday.

    Victoria’s Secret models are considered by many to be a selection of the most beautiful women in the world, and the VS Angels are contracted to be ambassadors for the lingerie brand throughout the whole year – not just for the annual show.

    The Angels are also given wings to wear during the show, to make their heavenly status clear.

    So, who is walking as an Angel in the show today?

    Will you be watching the show? This is how you can stream the event.

    A number of familiar faces will return to the runway as angels this year, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Behati Prinsloo.

    Newer faces include Lais Ribeiro, who became a Victoria’s Secret angel in 2015, along with Sara Sampaio and Twilight actress Kristen Stewart’s girlfriend Stella Maxwell.

    Taylor Hill is the youngest Victoria’s Secret model – aged only 21.

    The newest Victoria’s Secret Angel is 24-year-old Josephine Skriver. She is a Danish model and the daughter of an IT analyst and a marine biologist.

    A number of other models have revealed they will be walking in the spectacle as models on their Instagram accounts, but without angel status.

    They include Amila Estevao, Nadine Leopold and Estelle Chen.

    Every model – unless they have an ‘Angel’ contract – has to audition, no matter how many times they have walked previously.

    Ed Razek, chief marketing officer of Victoria’s Secret, told Vogue backstage: “You don’t get a free pass to this show, you don’t get in because you are somebody, you get in because you earned it.”

    Models across the globe have been rejected from the runway – and last year’s hottest star, Gigi, 21, was one of the biggest names to get a no.  

    It’s widely believed Tyra Banks, who shot to fame as one of the brand’s Angels between 1997 and 2005 was rejected from the show back in 2014.
