Of all the action movies Steven Seagal has made, his highest-rated is Under Siege. This Seagal flick, sometimes referred to as Die Hard on the seas, and it earns the title.

Under Siege is a stripped-down action setup executed with ruthless efficiency: when a group of mercenaries led by Tommy Lee Jones and a traitorous officer played by Gary Busey hijack the USS Missouri to seize its nuclear arsenal, they overlook one critical detail: a seemingly unremarkable ship’s cook who’s actually a former Navy SEAL named Casey Ryback, played by Steven Seagal.

As the crew is locked down and the clock ticks toward catastrophe, Ryback wages a one-man war through the battleship’s corridors, dismantling the takeover piece by piece with brutal precision, aided by a reluctant civilian ally, until the ship, and its weapons, are back under control.

The Infamous Under Siege Birthday Cake Scene

Erika Eleniak plays Jordan Tate in the film, a former Playboy model turned reluctant hostage aboard a hijacked battleship. Her infamous birthday cake scene is calculated sex appeal dropped right in the middle of a muscle-bound action movie to jolt the audience awake.

She arrives on the ship to perform at a party. When the terrorists take over, she’s there in the ship’s ballroom, waiting to hop out of the cake, and has no idea what’s going on. Then Steven Segal walks in, she thinks it’s party time, and the result is one of the most iconic surprises in movie history.

According to Eleniak in a YouTube Interview, “That was never supposed to be a topless scene.” It was something that escalated over the course of production, leading up to the moment.

Erika Eleniak Added The Jacket To Cover Up

She now says of the scene, “I was definitely not OK with it, which is why I ended up wearing a jacket in it, and ended up doing more of a flash kind of situation than being totally topless.”

Eleniak explains, “I was very, very young, and I think now today if that conversation had sprung up on me like that, I think I would have handled it very differently. Everybody knew that I was nervous about it; in fact, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey sent me flowers.”

That doesn’t mean Erika regrets doing it or has any negative feelings about it now. She says, “It’s all good. It’s all good.”

Eleniak is paired with Steven Segal for the rest of the movie, as the two make their way through the ship. It was a career-making turn for the actress, who until then had done only television. She’s worked steadily in film and television ever since.

As a writer who specializes in Star Trek, I spend a fair amount of time delving into the production details of my favorite episodes. I’ll often discover cool, behind-the-scenes trivia that makes me enjoy these stories that much more. Every now and then, though, I’ll discover something shocking. Namely, that my favorite creators really despise what I consider their best work.

A perfect example of this is the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Evolution,” which was written by Michael Piller. The episode is so good that it helped him land the gig as TNG showrunner, and he almost single-handedly ushered in the Golden Age of the franchise. Because of this, I always assumed Piller must be proud of the story he crafted. In reality, though, he hated “Evolution,” the episode that helped him land the most important gig of his entire career.

Boy (Genius), Interrupted

In case you don’t have perfect android memory, here’s a recap. “Evolution” was about the Enterprise helping an eccentric genius study an interstellar explosion that occurs every 196 years, the cosmic equivalent of Old Faithful. Meanwhile, Wesley Crusher is conducting a science experiment and accidentally unleashes some nanites on the ship. They evolve and cause mayhem, but after a few wacky hijinks, Picard reaches a diplomatic solution, getting the nanites their own planet just in time to help the visiting scientist complete the research he spent a lifetime working on.

It’s a really great episode, one that most fans think writer Michael Piller should be proud of. However, the future TNG showrunner didn’t agree with this assessment. As recorded in Captain’s Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Voyages, he later said that “Evolution” was ultimately “a B-episode.” His primary concern (one shared by Michael Wagner, who helped develop the overall story) was that “I didn’t have an ending for it.” While there were “some character scenes” he was “very proud of,” he ultimately worried that the episode “didn’t quite come off.”

The Ghost Of Cranky Yet To Come

Interestingly, episode director Winrich Kolbe shared some of Piller’s concerns with “Evolution.” The director enjoyed the plot about a scientist “who tried to push an issue and then suddenly found out there were ramifications he hadn’t thought of, which is the lack of control of the nanites.” He felt that this was “a very serious issue” that “wasn’t dealt with properly” because it was a Wesley-centric episode and “everyone considered it a child’s show, even the writers.”

That last bit was directed at Piller, who primarily saw the episode as a chance to (ahem) evolve Wesley Crusher’s character. He intended cranky visiting scientist Paul Stubbs to be a cautionary vision of what Wesley could grow up to be if he continued to focus only on his studies. “Evolution” is very successful in that regard, and it’s the perfect episode to show friends who hate Star Trek’s resident teen genius. But Kolbe felt the episode spent too much time on Wesley and not enough on the nanites, who were at the heart of the episode’s moral dilemma: namely, whether to put them down as dangerous pests or acknowledge them as a new (albeit unconventional) form of life.

Michael Piller might not have been the biggest fan of “Evolution,” but this opinion was not shared by Star Trek producer Rick Berman. Piller’s script (complete with a baseball speech that impressed Berman, a huge fan of the sport) helped him land the job as showrunner of The Next Generation. After he transformed this show into must-see TV, he went on to create Deep Space Nine and Voyager, solidifying this era as the Golden Age of Star Trek. Ultimately, none of that would have happened without “Evolution,” a killer episode that everyone but its writer absolutely loved.

From there, Tjay told reporters to “Ask Offset.” This, during which some asked the rapper if Offset owed him money.

Bunnie Xo is sharing all the gory details of her facelift procedure and recovery.

Bunnie, 46, got candid about her “brutal” and “barbaric” experience during the Tuesday, April 7, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. While the Stripped Down author praised her plastic surgeon as “amazing” and said she’s happy with how the results are coming along, she admitted that she felt “undersold” on how difficult the recovery process would be.

“I still can’t laugh, I’m still in a lot of pain, I still feel like my throat’s closing right now as we talk,” Bunnie began. “But anything I say in this podcast does not reflect on [the doctor’s] work. This is just me telling the truth about my experience with a facelift. And you guys know I’m never going to hold back on telling you guys the truth, because I feel like I was undersold on the facelifts.”

The podcaster continued, “All my girlfriends who have had f***ing facelifts, which is quite a few of you bitches, have f***ing told me, ‘Oh, by day two, you’re going to be up and running around one week after. You’re going to be great.’ No, no, I’m not.”

Bunnie (real name Alysa DeFord) described the experience as “the most brutal thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”

“Yes, I love plastic surgery, but I can’t wait to get the f*** off this ride. I want to be back to my normal self,” she added. “Granted, it’s only been two weeks. I have zero patience.”

Bunnie then recalled the day of her procedure as her podcast team — who was present in the operating room and recorded videos of the entire process — informed her that the surgery lasted seven hours.

“That was the longest time I’ve ever been under anesthesia,” Bunnie explained, adding she felt overheated when she woke up because they had a heating pad over her chest. She recalled having a panic attack as she asked her surgery team for an ice pack. Additionally, Bunnie recalled “gasping for air” every time she woke up in the recovery room and struggling with nausea.

Bunnie’s team also told her that her face “smelled like pork rinds” during the procedure while skin was being “burned off.”

“There was some heat and flesh,” her friend Jaime said.

Bunnie joked, “My face was cremated.”

As for the recovery in the days after the procedure, Bunnie said she managed pain with Tylenol, but she also had instances where she needed the anti-anxiety medication Ativan to manage feelings of being “choked from ear to ear” due to fluid buildup under her chin.

Bunnie said her face is still “different” every day due to swelling, adding that she won’t see complete results for six or more weeks.
“And it’s all self-inflicted, guys,” she continued. “I did it to myself and it is what it is. I’m not over here complaining, but I am gonna always give you the real because this is exactly the reality of getting a facelift. And I don’t feel like people show this side of it.”

Bunnie concluded, “It’s a privilege to be able to get a facelift. And I am not s***ting on the fact that it is a privilege and it is completely 100 percent self-inflicted. I just want you guys again to know the truth because I want — I wish I had had somebody like me, because I f***ing did a whole ton of research and everybody’s like, ‘Oh, God, it’s f***ing glamorous,’ you know? And I’m just like, ‘Everybody’s healing perfectly. Everybody’s fine. Nobody’s showing the nitty-gritty.’”

Amid Kanye West’s music return following his antisemitic controversy, actor Jonah Hill is looking back at one rapper’s antics.

For years, the “Stronger” artist was spewing offensive and derogatory remarks towards the Jewish community. In 2023, West renounced his vitriol against Jews, citing Hill’s movie as the inspiration behind his change of heart. 

Now, the “War Dogs” star is addressing the viral moment and where he stands with West.

Jonah Hill Hopes Kanye West Can ‘Heal’ Despite ‘Bizarre’ Past

During a recent interview, Hill revisited West’s remarks, explaining that he has no beef with the disgraced artist.

“I felt that he did this bizarre public thing to kind of make up, like, ‘It’s all good cause I love Jonah,’” the actor said on “The Zane Lowe Show.”

Hill noted that the moment sat with him in a good way, and as a result, he still has love for West. The filmmaker expressed hope that the rapper would “heal” as well as those he might have offended with his divisive words.

Hill still has great respect for West’s artistry, calling him “the greatest artist ever to live.” However, he understands how his antisemitic remarks couldn’t be easily overlooked. In his words:

“He’s a genius, and the stuff with the hate stuff sucks. What are you going to say? It sucks, no matter who you are, to hear that.”

Nevertheless, the “Superbad” actor vowed not to kick the “Runway” rapper while he is down.

What Kanye West Said About Jonah Hill’s Film

The actor’s interview comes three years after West sparked a storm after crediting Hill for making him fond of Jewish people again.

In an Instagram post, the rapper shared a poster of the 2012 comedy movie, “21 Jump Street,” featuring Hill and his co-star Channing Tatum. 

“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street made me like Jewish people again. No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people,” West wrote at the time, per The Blast.

Months before the confession, the Yeezy founder went on a wild anti-Semitic tirade on social media, saying he was “going death con 3 on Jewish people.” He also declared that he wasn’t an antisemite “because Black people are actually Jews.”

The Rapper Issued A Formal Apology For Offensive Remarks

Despite saying he loved the Jewish community, the “Donda” artist continued with his derogatory comments. However, West took it all back, offering a formal apology in January 2026.

Taking out an entire page in the Wall Street Journal, the father of four sought forgiveness for his words, blaming his bipolar diagnosis for his problematic antics.

“I lost touch with reality. Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst,” he wrote, as reported by The Blast.

West sought forgiveness for moving towards “the most destructive symbol,” the swastika, during his manic episodes, which lasted as long as four months.

Taking accountability for his actions, the 48-year-old declared he was “deeply mortified” and promised to pursue “accountability, treatment, and meaningful change.”

Kanye West Makes Performance Comeback In Los Angeles

Months after his formal apology, Kanye West made a powerful return to the stage last week at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

According to The Blast, the rapper performed in front of a near-capacity crowd, who cheered for his comeback, not minding his controversial past. 

Many expressed a willingness to separate the artist from the art, citing West’s battle with bipolar disorder as a reason why they might be so forgiving.

West gave his fans a swell time at his concert, turning the stage into a rotating Earth design, which he stood on top of. He also invited his daughter, North West, and Don Toliver as special guests who blew the audience away.

Jonah Hill And Channing Tatum Might Reunite For ‘23 Jump Street’

While the 2012 comedy movie might have helped with West’s antisemitism, it has been so much more for fans worldwide, who have demanded a third sequel from the franchise.

Luckily, in 2014, Sony Pictures announced the development of a third movie, hiring Rodney Rothman, who worked on “22 Jump Street”, to write the script. Unfortunately, it seems the project has been on hiatus ever since.

According to actor Channing Tatum, a script has already been written, but the movie can’t be made yet due to “a lot of bureaucracy, kind of above-the-line stuff.”

Nevertheless, Tatum is still holding out hope for the possibility of a “23 Jump Street” with his co-star. 

“I would love to do it with Jonah, and Jonah, I know, wants to do it. We would love to just get to go play again,” he added, per The Blast.
