Valerie Perrine, famous for her work in multiple "Superman" movies, is dead.

The actress died Monday at her home in Los Angeles ... according to her close friend, filmmaker Stacey Souther.

The cause of death is unclear, but Stacey tells us Valerie had been fighting Parkinson's disease and was bedridden for the past decade.

Valerie starred in 1978's "Superman" and 1980's "Superman II" as Eve Teschmacher ... Lex Luthor's personal assistant and love interest. Gene Hackman played Lex in those flicks.

"Spartacus: Blood and Sand" star Katrina Law is pulling the plug on her marriage to Keith Andreen -- filing for divorce after 12 years, TMZ has learned.

According to docs obtained by TMZ, Katrina lists July 7 as the split date, cites irreconcilable differences, and wants to block the court's ability to award spousal support to either side.

She’s asking for joint legal custody of their 6-year-old daughter, but wants primary physical custody -- with Keith getting visitation.

8:55 AM PT -- Hours after Dean Cain appealed for people to join ICE, Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted her appearance on Fox News today on X, announcing ICE's hiring age cap has been lifted.

Noem said ... "Our recruitment efforts to hire 10,000 new ICE officers has been extremely successful ... as of today we have over 80,000 applicants for those 10,000 positions already ... we've removed any of the age barriers, we no longer have a cap on how old you can be."

The DHS website features the details of the announcement.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Dean Cain pulling up to deport undocumented individuals???

The 'Lois & Clark' actor is encouraging his Instagram followers to join the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency ... touting the new benefits enlistees can receive.

Cain says since Donald Trump took office mere months ago, ICE has arrested "hundreds of thousands of criminals" ... getting some of the worst of the worst off the streets.

Sara Sampaio made quite the impression on fans while filling the role of Lex Luthor's girlfriend, Eve Teschmacher, in the new "Superman" film, which debuted in July 2025.

The thing is, the actress is no stranger to spending time in front of the cameras, as she's made a name for herself as a model walking for some of the biggest brands out there.

We're going to check out how the performer made her way from the fashion industry to the entertainment industry -- and what she's got planned for her future.

Sampaio began her career in fashion at the age of 16, when she won a contest in her home country of Portugal to become the face of a hair brand, according to Vogue Australia.

She subsequently signed with a modeling agency, and she first appeared in a Victoria's Secret catalog in 2011.

Sampaio eventually earned the title of Victoria's Secret Angel in 2015, two years after she first walked in the brand's annual fashion show ... and she held the title until 2021.

She's since appeared on the cover of numerous publications, including Nylon, Harper's Bazaar Arabia and Vogue Portugal.

Although Sampaio's spent the majority of her professional life in the modeling industry, she's been open about her desire to establish herself as an actress.

While the model originally wanted to study drama during her university years, she told Nylon her "parents were like, 'Just go take a normal degree and then we can do that on the side.'"

The fashion industry figure has appeared in a handful of films and shows so far in her career, mostly filling supporting roles.

Sampaio's also been in several music videos for various artists, including Nick Jonas and Kanye West.

The model -- who moved to Los Angeles in 2018 to pursue her acting dreams -- saw her luck change in 2023 when she was cast as Teschmacher.

Sampaio told Nylon she closely identified with her character -- an attractive secretary who has more going on behind her good looks than many of her contemporaries realize -- and she said taking on the role felt "therapeutic."

She said her modeling work had inadvertently prepared her for her acting career, in the sense that she'd become comfortable being in front of the camera.

She quipped, after having to wear lingerie in front of hundreds of people, "there's not much left to be ashamed of."

Sampaio's also spoken about how "Superman" has changed her outlook on her professional life in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

The fashion industry personality talked about her experience on set during her sit-down, and said the moment she recited her first line became the point "where I knew I wanted to do this for the rest of my life."

She admitted she felt as if modeling "wouldn’t fulfill me" in the long run, and a switch to acting "was always in the back of my mind."

The new era of the DC Cinematic Universe is upon us ... and after a record-breaking weekend at the box office, you can bring Superman home now!

With James Gunn's new release, Warner Bros. made sure Amazon was stocked with all the best Man of Steel merch -- from toys and Crocs to all things Krypto ... because that powerful pup is clearly the star of the show!

Superman now has a new companion joining him in flight: Krypto the Superdog! And now you can snatch this cute pupper too, with this DC Comics, Superman Up in The Sky! Flying Krypto!

There's been plenty of actors who've donned a red cape and blue costume to play Superman in film and television over the years -- and we're here for all of them!

You've got performers like George Reeves, Dean Cain and Tom Welling, all of whom portrayed the character on the small screen, plus Tyler Hoechlin, whose run as the Man of Steel throughout the "Arrowverse" lasted for nearly a decade.

And following Christopher Reeve's classic portrayals of Superman on the big screen, there were guys like Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill filling the role, with David Corenswet being the most recent actor who's played the Last Son of Krypton.

Alright, folks, we've got another guess who for you -- this actor might look a little different without his red cape, though!

We caught this guy signing autographs for his fans -- that's pretty super, man! Plus, he was accompanied by his adorable service dog Kal, who was named after a certain Kryptonian he's very familiar with ... he appeared as the character in five movies!

This guy might not have stuck around for James Gunn's take on the DC comics mainstay, but don't worry, he had his time -- and facing off against Ben Affleck as Batman's no easy feat!

Superman or Super-Meh? Ben Shapiro has labeled James Gunn's "Superman" film the latter -- and is telling those worried it's full of preachy political propaganda to fly back to the ground ... 'cause they're worrying for nothing.

Check out the political commentator's review of the movie ... he's trolling Gunn's claim that this action film is about an "immigrant" and the "basic human kindness" that he believes America has lost.

He notes ... "This is not a movie about illegal immigration. This is not a movie about ICE, Russia-Ukraine, Israel and the Palestinians ... there may be references there if you have politics on the brain, but other than that, I really don't think there's much of this there."

Donald Trump is fighting for truth, justice and HIS version of the American way ... 'cause the White House is portraying him as Superman amid the new movie's release.

The White House's social media account dropped a Photoshopped pic of Trump dressed up in the iconic red and blue costume Wednesday night ... calling him a "SYMBOL OF HOPE" -- adding he's "SUPERMAN TRUMP."

The image matches the poster for James Gunn's new movie -- out now -- starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan ... and, Trump's looking pretty heroic in it as the planetary immigrant superhero ... despite his own admin's contempt for illegal immigrants.

"Superman" star David Corenswet is trolling the guy who plays his on-screen nemesis ... playfully chiding Lex Luthor actor Nicholas Hoult, who he says stole his style.

David stepped out Wednesday in New York City wearing an outfit that was awfully similar to what we saw Nicholas wearing last week ... black dress shoes, white trousers, white tank top, sweater tied over one shoulder and under the other armpit, black sunglasses, and a bag in hand.

Difference is ... Nicholas seemed to be taking the look very seriously, and David's totally trolling Clark Kent's longtime foe.

Break out the red capes -- "Superman" crash-landed in London, and the whole star-studded squad assembled in style for the film's very first red carpet premiere.

The man, the myth, the Man of Steel -- David Corenswet was serving super sleek in a black suit with those classic red pops, striking poses with his on-screen Lois Lane, Rachel Brosnahan, as they took over Cineworld Leicester Square on Wednesday.

Rachel was va-va-vooming all over that red carpet in a glittering asymmetrical Armani Privé cut-out, serving main character energy as she posed among the mere mortals.

Talk about a fatherly sacrifice -- Ben Affleck’s keeping the superhero fantasy alive for his son Samuel ... despite hating every second spent sweating it out in the Batsuit.

Check out the pics -- Ben and his 13-year-old son were out on Easter Sunday hitting up BAIT boutique in L.A., where the actor was spotted loading a DC Batman Hush figure, which retails for just over $400, into his car.

Looks like Samuel, Ben’s son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, was getting the royal treatment -- 'cause before their toy shopping spree, the father-son duo also made a pit stop at World Market.

Ben Affleck wasn’t exactly out here saving Gotham -- more like saving himself from a full-body sweat-lodge meltdown ... all 'cause of that Batman suit, which he said made him sweaty AF.

The movie star spilled all the salty tea, saying those suits are built to look badass, but not to be worn by actual humans -- and you can sure bet that it was game-over for his comfort when that cowl went up over his head.

Ben got real with GQ about the Batsuit nightmare -- explaining the second you put it on, the perspiration kicks in. And since he’s already a majorly sweaty person, he was basically just pouring water.

A new trailer for "Superman" has dropped ... and, it's giving fans a longer look at Krypto the Superdog -- and, a peek inside the Fortress of Solitude.

The new clip -- which runs about five minutes long -- came out Thursday, and while it features much of the same footage from the trailer that was dropped in December, it's got a whole lot of new content too.

Check out the clip ... the first three and a half minutes features an extended look at the original trailer's opening scene where Superman, played by David Corenswet, calls on his dog Krypto to save him.

The first trailer for James Gunn's "Superman" finally arrived ... and it does not disappoint.

Packed with action, Clark Kent and some Lois Lane lovin', plus a ton of action -- fans were immediately freaking out with joy.

David Corenswet dons the red cape this time ... and from the way the trailer opens with a bloodied and beaten Superman -- seems he has his work cut out for him.
