With as many times as Coyote Ugly is played on television, it's hard to believe that the film is 25 years old. Tyra Banks and her castmates including Izabella Miko, Maria Bello, Diane Warren and Melanie Lynskey gathered for a Q&A at Aero Theatre in Santa Monica to support the Global Empowerment Mission LA Wildfire Relief. "To my Coyotoes... who would’ve thought that 25 years after#CoyoteUgly lit up the big screen, we’d be back together, sharing a stage once again?," Banks wrote on Instagram. "Last night’s anniversary reunion was magical, wild, hilarious, and deeply touching—just like the movie itself."

The SI Swimsuit legend even teased fans with a possible sequel and announcement that she is ready to model again. "Yep, I’m really about to start modeling again, coming back ‘home’ to@imgmodels—feels like the perfect SEQUEL. And honestly, isn’t that EXACTLY what Coyote Ugly needs? What do you guys think?"

Gayle King has had some incredible assignments as a CBS Mornings co-host, but her latest mission is taking her to a galaxy far, far away. King announced that she is going to space on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin. Before going though, she had to check with her best Oprah. "I thought I wanted to open myself up to new adventures and step out of my comfort zone," King said. "Once Kirby and Will and Oprah was fine with it, I was fine. I thought Oprah would say no, no. She said, 'I think if you don't do it, when they all come back and you had the opportunity to do it, you will be kicking yourself.' She's right."
