Nepo baby with TWO Hollywood A-lister parents lands new role alongside House Of Dragon star – can you guess who she is?

THIS nepo baby with two very famous parents has just landed herself a huge acting job alongside a House of the Dragon star.

But do you know who she is?

The thespian in question is Ella Stiller, who is the daughter of Hollywood A-lister Ben Stiller.

Ella’s mum is also Christine Taylor, who starred as Bonnie in Friends and in The Brady Bunch Movie and Zoolander.

The young actress, 22, has joined the cast of Before This New Year, a play written by Liana Sonenclar that will run Off-Broadway in New York City.

Ella will take on the role of Jen in the play, which is about a former high school track star called Alison Bennett.

Alison is played by Kaci Walfall, who previously took on the title role in the DC superhero show Naomi.

English actress Emily, who has also starred as a young Lara Croft in the 2018 reboot of Tomb Raider, plays a former teammate of Alison called Haley.

The girls meet up again some years after graduation and ‘confront some tricky feelings’.

Ella is Emmy winner Ben and Catherine’s eldest child. They are also parents to son Quinlin, 19.

The siblings’ grandparents are the late Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who performed together in the 1960s as comedy team Stiller and Meara.

Ella has always known she wanted to join her family‘s dynasty of stars and become an actress.

In June last year, she graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting.

Gushing on Instagram at the time, she said: “I couldn’t be happier to be done or prouder to have survived or more grateful to my family for the unwavering support that got me there and through.”

Ella then joked: “I have a degree in playing pretend!!! Yay!!!”

In 2019, Meet The Parents star Ben appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show and Ella supporting him from the studio audience.

Ellen asked Ella if she wanted to go into acting, to which she nodded and replied: “Yeah!”

When asked if he was “happy about that”, Ben replied: “I am happy.

“She loves it and she’s very passionate about it and she knows what she wants to do.

“I knew when I was 10 or 11 years old that I wanted to direct movies and eventually act too.

“But I think, yeah, you know, it’s a crazy business so I just want to support her in it in any way possible…legally!”

Before This New Year, which kicks off next month, is Ella’s first Off-Broadway role, however she has a number of screen credits to her name.

Ella had a role in the 2018 limited series Escape at Dannemora, which was directed by her dad Ben, and in the Adam Sandler hit Hubie Halloween in 2020.

She also has a string of voice acting roles on her resumé.

Last year, Ben admitted he would like to one day work with Ella and her younger brother Quinlin, who is also forging his own career in the industry.

He told E! News: “Both my kids are actors and not really kids anymore. And they’re both really good, so it’d be fun to work with them.

“I have done a couple of little things with them, but I’d love to [work with them in a movie]. It’d be really fun.”

He added: “I think eventually they’ll probably be directing and producing stuff that I’ll be asking them to cast me in. That’s how it goes.”

Tiny UK seaside town rocked by earthquake as ‘violent BANG like a rocket launch’ wakes up Brits in early hours

A TINY seaside town has been rocked by an earthquake today with locals woken up by the “loud rumblings”.

The 2.2 magnitude tremor was logged by the British Geological Survey in Oban at 3.03am.

It was centred in Glen Lonan, about two miles from the town, at a depth of 2km but was even felt many miles away on the Isle of Mull.

On social media, residents reported feeling the ground shake with one describing it as “a rocket launch”.

Others said their walls were “shaking”.

The tremor only lasted for a short while with some suggesting less than 10 seconds.

BGS said it was “felt by people in Oban, Mull and surrounding villages in the Argyll and Bute region, mainly from within around 10km of the epicentre”.

Reports described it as “more the sound of an explosion than a rumble” and “there was a violent crack and a bang”.

This is the second earthquake in the West Highlands this year.

A 2.9 magnitude quake was felt in Oban, Strontian, Mull and Kilmore on January 5 at around 9pm in the evening.

One social media user warned: “Small ones for now, until a massive one hits one day.”

There are roughly 200-300 quakes in Britain every year, but the vast majority are so small that no one notices them.

However between 20-30 are over 2.0 magnitude which can be felt over a wider area.

The largest known Scottish earthquake occurred near Loch Awe in 1880 with a magnitude of 5.2.

Earthquakes in Scotland are most often attributed to glacial rebound.

The most damaging UK earthquake was in the Colchester area in 1884.

Some 1200 buildings needed repairs, chimneys collapsed and walls were cracked.

Scotland has been battered by more than 4,000 earthquakes in the past 50 years.

But few have had a significant impact on residents.

I’m 7 months pregnant & sleeping with men who aren’t my husband – he even helps me shave ‘down there’ before dates

WHEN you’re seven months pregnant, a lot of every day tasks can feel more difficult.

One woman shared how grateful she was that her man helped her shave “down there” but people were shocked to learn the reason why.

A pregnant woman in an open relationship revealed that her husband helps her shave ‘down there’ before her dates[/caption]

In her viral video, TikTok user Jessica Daylover (@remodeledlove) revealed that her husband was helping her prepare for a date with another man.

The couple have been together since 2009 and officially tied the knot in 2013.

Just before their nuptials, Jessica, who identifies as demi-sexual, and her husband Joe, who jokes that he is “apologetically heterosexual,” decided to open up their relationship.

While they explained that they have always faced backlash over their polyamorous lifestyle, it wasn’t until the now 35-year-old became pregnant with their son did the hate heighten.

“I was never criticised more for being polyamorous than when I was pregnant,” Jessica said.

She pointed out that this is likely because most people associate open relationships with sex.

Despite their online trolls, Jessica decided to share the supportive nature of her relationship.

The TikToker filmed her 40-year-old husband as he helped her prepare for a date night with one of her other partners.

“My husband lady-scaping me at before a date with my boyfriend because I’m seven months pregnant and can’t see it anymore,” she captioned the clip.

The video, taken from Jessica’s point of view, showed how her baby bump blocked her from carrying out the action herself.

When she asked her husband why he was helping her, he replied that he knew being well-groomed was important to her and he wanted her to feel comfortable.

Joe also joked that he “kind of enjoys” the task and didn’t see why it was considered “controversial” to help his wife.

Jessica encouraged any women interested in her husband to “slide into my DMs.”

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the unique set up in the comments section.

“I legit thought I was the only woman alive that had a husband who likes to groom her for dates! This, this is poly love,” wrote one viewer.

What is polyamory?

Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.

It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.

According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.

“Honestly, this is the best, most pure representation of love I’ve ever seen. Just your overall relationship is awesome!” said another supportive follower.

“This is actually so sweet,” agreed a third commenter.

However, other people were less open-minded about the couple’s arrangement.

“So who’s baby is that then? Isn’t that weird with the baby? How would the baby feel when it gets older?” asked one TikTok user.

“I’m just trying to understand how the relationship works between all three,” said another viewer.

“Legit thought the boyfriend part was a joke as in she’s going to see her baby doctor but nope,” commented a third person.

Eight PSNI officers were treated for smoke inhalation and four people were admitted to hospital.

Two children aged seven and 10 were among those hospitalised following the fire and are in a stable condition.

A man, 37, and a woman, 70 remain in a “serious condition” following the blaze.

And the PSNI confirmed last night a teenage boy has been arrested, following the arrest of a 21-year-old, who remained in police custody last night.

The 21-year-old who was arrested by PSNI officers was discovered on the roof of the property.

The pair were both arrested on “suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life”.

In a statement Detective Inspector Ryan of the PSNI said: “A 15-year-old male has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, and remains in police custody at this time, assisting with enquiries.

“A 21-year-old man also arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life also remains in police custody this evening.

“Four people were taken to hospital following the fire, which occurred shortly after 8.30pm on Monday evening.

“A man aged 37 and a woman aged 70 remain in a serious condition, while two children, aged 7 and 10, are in a stable condition.”

Continuing the detective issued a fresh information appeal.

Inspector Ryan said: “A police cordon remains in place as officers work alongside the Fire Service to establish the cause of the fire, and we are continuing to appeal to anyone who might have any information which could assist us, to contact 101, quoting reference 1668 of 03/02/25.”

Reports can also be submitted online.

Following the fire PSNI confirmed that officers led five people, including two children, safely from the home on located on Cunninghams Lane.

Four people that were trapped in the home were rescued by fire officers on ladders from neighbouring properties and a fifth person found on the roof was brought to safety.

‘EXTENSIVE DAMAGE’

In a statement District Commander, Superintendent Peter Stevenson said the property suffered “extensive damage” after the blaze that trapped children inside.

He said: “Our colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service contacted us just after 8.30pm to advise that they were turning out to a report of a house fire with children trapped.

“Officers immediately made their way to the scene, arriving prior to Fire Service colleagues.

“The property was seen to be well alight, and as such, knowing that the residents were still inside, officers obtained ladders from neighbouring properties and used them to rescue four people.

“A fifth person was found on the roof, and brought to safety.

“Fire Service extinguished the blaze, which has caused extensive damage.”

‘UNDOUBTEDLY TRAUMATIC’

He continued: “Eight local policing officers were taken to hospital for treatment for the effects of smoke inhalation. Thankfully, all were released in the early hours of the morning.

“While I am extremely proud of their actions, my thoughts, and those of all of us in the Police Service, are with those who remain in hospital today.

“We want to thank the residents of Cunninghams Lane for their assistance with this terrible incident, which was undoubtedly traumatic for all involved.

“The community will continue to see the presence of the emergency services in the area throughout today, as we proceed with our investigation into the cause of this fire.”

The best time of year to buy a used car in the UK 2025: from convertibles to SUVs to 4x4s

Row of cars in a parking lot.

IF you’re in the market for a new motor, you’ll want to know the best time of year to buy a car.

The cheapest time to buy a car depends on a range of factors, including the type of car you’re buying, its age and condition.

As we emerge from the depths of winter, dealers are seeking to take on new stock so the spring is often the best time to get a great deal on a new car, say the experts at the AA

Whatever the time of year, Sun Motors makes it easier than ever to buy a user car.

With a simple online platform that connects you to a huge range of used car dealers offering the best deals, it makes it one of the easiest ways to secure the car you want at a price you can afford all year round.

What month is the best to get the best deal on a used car?

If you’re searching for a nearly-new car, then there’s no question that March and September are the cheapest times to buy a used car. 

Why? The change in registrations brings an influx of trade-ins and more competition could mean bigger savings for you. 

Franchised dealers may also be able to offer good deals on used-approved vehicles in February and August as they make space for new vehicles and plate changes.

Buying a used car? Find cars for under £200 on Sun Motors here.

Budget buyers can use this knowledge to their advantage – dealers don’t like to have stock lying around, so even if you’re not buying a nearly new car, there could be deals to be done.

Car dealers need to turn around stock to make a profit, with most sales figures – and bonuses – calculated by quarter.

You may find there’s a little more wiggle room in the price at the end of March, June, September and December as salespeople seek to maximise bonuses. 

What time of year is best to buy a used car?

The prices of older used cars are less likely to be impacted by plate changes, but they are impacted by seasonality.

Overall, car sales are lower in winter and higher in summer, says Carzuu.

Summer vehicles like camper vans and convertibles tend to be cheaper in colder months, Autotrader states. On the other hand, SUVs and 4x4s are often more expensive in winter. 

Understanding how seasonality drives demand could be the key to bagging a bargain.

used-car-dealership-best-time-of-year-to-buy-a-used-car-blue-renault
Cars such as this 2015 Renault Megane Convertible tend to be cheaper in colder months – find similar models on Sun Motors.

While this won’t help you make savings on a standard saloon, there are better times of the month to buy a used family car. 

January can be a great time to grab as cash-strapped customers are too busy paying off their credit cards than shopping for a new car, says Honest John.

Summer is also a wise time to buy as parents are too busy dealing with kids to shop for a new car, says Autotrader and lower competition brings lower prices.

Tips on when to buy a used car

  • Plan early:  The average car buyer spends three months planning a new car purchase, Car Dealer Magazine found. Think as much about what to buy as when to buy to make the most significant savings.
  • Focus on finance: Car dealers make money from finance agreements, so signing up for one with a dealer may help you make savings on the list price. (But be sure to calculate the total cost of borrowing before making a deal.)
  • Understand margins: Car dealers aim to make about £1000 profit on a used car. Grab your calculator and crunch the numbers to understand what a reasonable offer might be.
  • Avoid weekends: Another tip is to head to your dealership mid-week, says Autoexpress. You’ll get better service as it’s less busy.

How does Sun Motors offer a fair price all year round?

Buying a used car can be a frustrating process which can leave you wondering whether you’re truly getting the best deal.

Sun Motors can take away the stress, giving you access to a handpicked selection of the best-used car dealers in the UK.

Every Sun Motors car is tested and checked to ensure it’s safe and ready for the road and it’s easy to search for the make, model and age of your car. Alternatively, you can search by monthly repayment – ensuring you only see the cars you can afford.

used-car-dealership-best-time-of-year-to-buy-a-used-car-sun-motors

When you’re ready to buy, you can speak with your dealer online or even through WhatsApp. Even better, you’ll be able to access fantastic finance deals.

That’s why we reckon Sun Motors is the best place to buy a used car.

How do different seasons affect the worth of different models?

In the middle of winter, summer vehicles like sportscars, convertibles and campervans are less desirable.

This fall in demand can mean a drop in price.

On the other hand, SUVs, 4x4s and other all-terrain vehicles are more in demand as the temperature drops. 

used-car-dealership-best-time-of-year-to-buy-a-used-car-peugeot
SUVs like this Peugeot E-2008 tend to sell for less in warmer months. Similar models can be found on Sun Motors.

Understanding how the seasons affect prices can be powerful if you’re searching for a new car bargain.

How do economic factors impact the buying/selling market of used cars?

We all know that the cost of living crisis continues to bite, impacting our ability to spend money on everything from carrots to cars.

Competition for family cars can be lower around school summer holidays and January when families are under pressure to pay large expenses.

It’s not just seasons that can send prices up or down. Things like the Autumn Budget can hit consumer confidence – causing a drop in user car sales.

Ultimately, the used car market – like any other – is based on confidence. People are only willing to buy if they’re able to afford it.

Buying a used car? Find cars for under £150 on Sun Motors here.

Are used car prices generally declining in the UK?

The COVID-19 crisis (remember that?) caused used car prices to spiral as a lack of production caused a spike, as this Autotrader graph shows. While average used car prices are higher than before, we’re seeing drops – with a 4.1% fall in December 2024. 

Part of this is the ups and downs of any market, but overall, we can see used car prices falling from their peak to more affordable – and realistic – levels. That means you can secure more car for your money.
