    I Dream of Jeannie star Barbara Eden never saw herself as a sex symbol despite iconic costume
    Barbara Eden rubbed audiences the right way as a 2,000-year-old genie, but the actress insisted she never saw herself as a sex symbol."I Dream of Jeannie," which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, tells the tale of astronaut Major Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), who finds a magic bottle with a genie (Eden) inside. The two go on to fall in love and build a life together.The beloved sitcom premiered on Sept. 18, 1965, catapulting Eden to superstardom.I DREAM OF JEANNIE STAR BARBARA EDEN RECREATES ICONIC GENIE POSE AT 94When Fox News Digital asked the now 94-year-old about what it felt like to be a sex symbol, she replied, "I had no idea.""I never thought of [Jeannie] as sexual," she explained. "She was lovable because she was so honest and forthright and obviously devoted to her master. And she was learning. I enjoyed playing that part of it. She was learning everything about this time. She was 2,000 years old, which people seem to forget.""She was an entity she wasnt a real woman," Eden shared. "She was female, of course, but an entity, not a human. And thats your comedy right there. She felt she could be human, and of course, he knew she wasnt."But one thing Eden couldnt have anticipated was the publics fascination with her belly button or lack of one. The actress famously wore a pink two-piece with high-waisted, billowing pants and a crop top that concealed her navel."Mike Connolly [a columnist for The Hollywood Reporter] would come down to the set," Eden recalled. "He would tease me about how I didnt have a belly button because it never showed. Well, it did, because Id raise my arms and do all kinds of physical things, and of course, my belly button would peek out."But he enjoyed teasing me. He would poke me in the middle and say, I dont believe you have one! And then he started to write about it. And then guys all across the United States began to write about it."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I thought it was funny, but strange," she chuckled. "Suddenly, the standards and practices, or whatever they called it in the film industry, realized I had a belly button. Even the studio realized I had a belly button! But before that, no problem."Eden pointed out that no one at the studio initially decided to cover her navel until the buzz about her so-called disappearing act spread like wildfire."They then said I had to have the waist come up high," she said. "But not only that, I wore dancers pantyhose, which are pretty thick, plus a pair of underwear over that, and then the chiffon. And then there was silk inside. It was so funny. All I could do was laugh at the whole thing. And men would come down to the set just to stare at my belly. It was a lot of foolishness, but fun."Eden gave input on one thing about her midriff-baring costume."The color," she said. "Gwen Wakeling, an Oscar-winning costume designer, came to me and showed me her sketches. And of course, I loved them. Then she said, Whats your favorite color? I said, Well, it depends. Right now, its hot pink. And she went with pink. Im still so happy she did that."Looking back, Eden still has fond memories of bringing the show to life alongside Hagman, who died in 2012 at age 81.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I was doing a film at Universal and by then, I already knew I got the Jeannie part," she recalled. "[Show creator] Sidney Sheldon called me one day and said, Would you mind doing this scene with this young man? Were thinking about him to play your master. I know they were testing another actor, but they didnt ask him to come meet me.""So, Larry came to me while I was working at Universal," she said. "We were in my dressing room, and we did the first scene of the pilot together there. In that scene, [Jeannie] just loves him and gives him big hugs. And of course, I played the part. It wasnt Barbara, it was Jeannie doing this. Well, several months later, Larry told me, You scared me! I didnt know what you were doing."For Eden, magic was in the making."I noticed our chemistry during the pilot, the first time I ever worked with him," she said. "I realized right away that it was going to work. He was so good, and I was pretty good myself. But we were on the same radio frequency, or whatever you want to call it. We understood each other as the characters. We understood each other. We enjoyed it.""He was a super sweet and kind man," Eden continued. "He was a little different from the rest of us. He marched to his own drum, which was fun because it was always pretty interesting. I loved him."Despite the success of "I Dream of Jeannie," Eden made clear there was no feud between her and Elizabeth Montgomery, who starred in the sitcom "Bewitched." Montgomery played Samantha Stephens, a charming witch attempting to live a normal suburban life with her mortal husband."I enjoyed being with her," said Eden. "We did not have a lot of time to talk or be girlfriends. Remember, we would be in the makeup department in the morning, getting ready for our scenes. We had to get to work. But she was always pleasant.""I Dream of Jeannie" aired for five seasons, from 1965 to 1970. The star said that over the years, she never felt Jeannies powerful presence overshadowed her Hollywood career.WATCH: ELVIS PRESLEY'S 1968 BORDELLO SCENE WAS CUT FOR BEING TOO RACY: DOC"I was always content and happy with her," she explained. "Even when I was doing Jeannie, I was lucky enough to still be doing other things. I opened the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I went back to singing again.""When we had breaks shooting Jeannie, I would do another film in between and then go back. It was a long ping-pong. And Im so pleased that people still like her. I had no idea that the show would have the impact that its had all over the world.""Back then, I didnt think about being famous," she reflected. "I was just working. I didnt have time to sit back and say, I made it. I just didnt. You cant do that when youre working hard.""And I dont think there was one secret behind the shows success," said Eden. "I think its the combination of a really good idea, a terrific cast it just worked. And that magic doesnt always work. You can have very fine actors, but if the writing isnt right, so many things can go wrong. But we were lucky."Eden hasnt thought about what she would like to do next. Shes too busy staying active."I hope to accomplish whatever is thrown at me," she laughed. "I look forward to the next challenge."

    Sotomayor admits conservative Supreme Court colleagues frustrate her, tries to look for 'good' in them
    Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday she tries to look for the best in her conservative colleagues, despite her frustration with their differing views, during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.""She taught me to look for the best in people," Sotomayor said of her mother. "That was the lesson that moment gave me, and its one I look for in my colleagues."Sotomayor appeared on Colbert's show to promote her new children's book, "Just Shine! How to Be a Better You.""I dont agree with them much. At least not with the majority. And they can be really frustrating. And there are moments when I want to scurry out of the room. But I dont. And what I look for to maintain our collegiality is the good in them," the Supreme Court justice continued.AMY CONEY BARRETT DETAILS BATTLE BETWEEN HER OWN PERSONAL VIEWS AND THE LAW IN NEW BOOKShe said her mother was right and added there was good in "almost" everyone.Sotomayor also appeared on "The View" Tuesday, where she warned about "the price we pay" when asked about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and other hotly debated rulings by the 6-3 conservative majority."Why do you see these decisions as so dangerous to our freedoms? What do you think ordinary Americans should take away from what seem to be very prescient warnings?" co-host Sunny Hostin asked Sotomayor."The price we pay is whatever is happening today, as I indicated, is going to affect a lot of people. But it affects your future. It affects the conduct of leaders in the future, because what we permit today is not going to be duplicated exactly tomorrow. Its going to be something different," Sotomayor began.BARRETT SAYS JUSTICES 'WEAR BLACK, NOT RED OR BLUE' IN RESPONSE TO PARTISAN CRITICS IN FOX NEWS INTERVIEWSotomayor warned that precedent set by the Court could be "really bad" for certain groups of people."And thats whats at risk, is in each time we change precedent, we are changing the contours of a right that people thought they had. Once you take that away, think of how much more is at risk later. Not just in this situation," she told the co-hosts on Tuesday.Sotomayor was nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed in 2009. She is one of only three justices on the current Court who was nominated by a Democrat.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE

    'Speak English, period': GOP bill axes interpreter loophole in citizenship exam
    FIRST ON FOX: People who are not proficient in English could be shut out of taking the U.S. citizenship test under a new House Republican proposal.Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., plans to introduce a bill that would mandate the citizenship test be taken entirely in English, Fox News Digital has learned.There are several different components to the U.S. citizenship exam. While most portions are English-only, the civics test in which the applicant is asked 10 out of 100 possible questions on U.S. history and government can currently be taken in other languages, provided that certain criteria are met.Fines bill would eliminate those exceptions.HOUSE MOVES TO EXPOSE EPSTEIN FILES, AUTHORIZES OVERSIGHT PROBE"The fact that U.S. citizenship applicants can currently use an interpreter to take the naturalization test undermines the idea of assimilation into American culture. If you want to live in an English-speaking country, you should be able to speak English, period," Fine told Fox News Digital."My bill will require all applicants to take the naturalization test exclusively in English, because both metaphorically and literally, everyone who enters our country with the intent of staying should speak our language."Current law states that people aged 50 or older who have lived in the U.S. as a permanent resident for at least 20 years are allowed to take the civics portion in another language.People aged 55 or older who have been a U.S. permanent resident for at least 15 years have the same exemption.Both groups of people are required to bring an interpreter fluent in English and their native language to the exam.LONGTIME BIDEN AIDE SAYS HE STOOD TO EARN UP TO $8M HAD PRESIDENT WON RE-ELECTIONThe bill would likely run into opposition from immigrant advocacy groups, however.Fines proposal comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March naming English as the countrys official language the first time in its history that the U.S. has done so.

But its like a full-time job getting back to where you feel good again."He added, "It takes a while to get your brain to start moving your legs, for them to do what your brain wants to do. You try to walk but it doesnt come out right."Neil said that his recovery, which later involved working out with a football coach and "a lot of running," has been "tough," but he's doing well now."Im back, Im 90-, 95-percent to where I was before, and its going to be great," he said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERNeil first returned to the stage in August, performing at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston with Bret Michaels.

    Maryland teacher faces calls for resignation over controversial Charlie Kirk meme
    A Maryland county executive called for the resignation of a middle school teacher who allegedly posted a joke online about the shooting of Charlie Kirk.According tolocal news outlet WBOC, a teacher based in Delmarva, Maryland, faced backlash on social media for their reaction to the conservative activist's assassination on Wednesday."As with much of the country, numerous Delmarva neighbors took to social media to add their perspective on Kirk's death. In at least three cases, online posts from local teachers drew the outrage of their communities," the outlet reported.In one case, the unidentified teacher, an employee at Salisbury Middle School, reportedly shared a meme depicting President Donald Trump telling Kirk, "This [Jeffrey] Epstein thing wont die, gonna need you to take one for the team."I'M A DEMOCRAT, AND CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER MUST UNITE ALL AMERICANS AGAINST VIOLENCEWicomico County Executive Julie Giordano told Fox News Digital that she was disturbed by the reactions to the death of Kirk on social media."The tragic and senseless death of Charlie Kirk has shaken so many across our nation, and like many of you, I have been deeply disturbed to see some of the horrific and inappropriate posts circulating on social media in response to this loss. Regardless of political views, celebrating or mocking the death of any individual is cruel, unacceptable, and has no place in our community," the official explained.Giordano said to Fox News Digital that she is aware of the concerns regarding the post allegedly made by the staff member."I am aware of the concerns regarding a post allegedly made by a staff member at Salisbury Middle School. While personnel matters fall under the responsibility of the Board of Education and the Superintendent, I share in the concern and outrage that someone entrusted with the care and education of our children would engage in such behavior. Our children deserve to be taught and mentored by adults who model respect, compassion, and responsibility."According to WBOC, Giordano on Wednesday "called for the resignation of a Wicomico County teacher after she says he expressed support for political violence."According to The Baltimore Sun, Giordano wrote on Facebook, "Tomorrow morning, I will be sending a formal letter to both the Wicomico County Board of Education and the Superintendent demanding the resignation of an individual within our school system who has openly promoted political violence."WATCH: BIPARTISAN GROUP OF LAWMAKERS EXPRESS SHOCK, GRIEF AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLINGWicomico County Public Schools told Fox News Digital on Thursday that they were made aware of the social media post by a Salisbury Middle School teacher on Wednesday evening."The posting of a meme and comments in relation to a very serious incident has been an unexpected, unnecessary and unwelcome disruption to school and school system operations. The social media post does not reflect the values of Wicomico County Public Schools and the Wicomico County Board of Education, and is not what we expect of our employees," the spokesperson said to Fox News Digital.Wicomico County Public School officials are currently reviewing the teacher's actions that caused online controversy.COLUMBIA STUDENT SATIRE SITE JOKES ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK'S DEATH"We truly appreciate those who have taken time to share their concerns and assure everyone that this personnel matter is being immediately addressed. Wicomico County Public Schools staff are reviewing the situation carefully and will take appropriate action in accordance with our policies and commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment for our students. We thank those who have contacted us out of concern for our students and their education," the spokesperson added.Wicomico County Public School officials are not able to comment on personnel matters."As a community, we must be better than this. Political disagreements should never cross into the realm of dehumanization or the glorification of violence. I call on everyone in Wicomico County to set a higher standard one of civility, decency, and respect for all human life."

    Charlie Kirk honored as 'generation's greatest' at massive London rally where Musk condemns left
    Tens of thousands of people took part in a"Unite the Kingdom"rally inLondon, England, on Saturday, where demonstrators also honored Charlie Kirk with some holding pictures and banners of the late conservative activist.Organizers played a heartwarming tribute video to Kirk that included a viral clip of him giving life advice to a 13-year-old girl at a Turning Point USA event.The rally was organized by activist Tommy Robinson, who said the video was shown to thank and "honor the life of one of our generations greatest." Elon Musk also appeared via video link and condemned the left as "the party of murder" following Kirks death.YOUTH LEADERS MOURN 'THE GODFATHER OF CAMPUS CONSERVATISM' CHARLIE KIRK FOLLOWING ASSASSINATIONRobinson billed the march as a demonstration for free speech, saying it was also held in defense of British heritage and culture."A man who inspired a generation of young men based on courage and based on faith," Robinson told the cheering crowd, which also sang Kirks name."In honor of Charlie Kirk and in honor of freedom on the 13th we march," Robinson wrote in a social media post earlier in the week.One demonstrator carried a sign reading, "Freedom of speech is dead. RIP Charlie Kirk," according to The Associated Press.Aerial shots showed streams of demonstrators carrying the St. Georges red-and-white flag of England and the Union Jack. Many chanted, "We want our country back."Police estimated the crowd at about 110,000 people, while organizers claimed the figure was in the "millions." A rival protest drew about 5,000 marchers.Musk condemned the killing of Kirk, who was fatally shot on Wednesday at the University of Utah. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested for the crime.FOX NEWS PERSONALITIES OFFER EMOTIONAL TRIBUTES TO CHARLIE KIRK: 'HE LOVED AMERICA SO MUCH'"You see how much violence there is on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week, and people on the left celebrating it openly," Musk said. "The left is the party of murder."Robinson praised Musk for purchasing Twitter and lifting bans on right-wing commentators, saying Saturdays event would not have been possible without him.He added that the British public was "telling the world theyre ready to fight back," linking that directly to Musk giving them a platform.Robinson told the crowd in a hoarse voice that migrants now had more rights in court than the "British public, the people that built this nation."The marches come as the U.K. is riven by debate over migrants crossing the English Channel in overcrowded boats to arrive without authorization.Musk warned of the dangers of stifling free speech and said the U.K. was at a critical point in its history.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"You cant get to the truth without freedom of speech, without active debate the essence of democracy is a government for the people, by the people."He added that the U.K. was in danger of losing its identity due to mass migration, accusing the BBC of being "complicit in the destruction of Britain." He also claimed mass migration was being used to import new voters."I see a rapidly increasing erosion of Britain with massive, uncontrolled migration and a government that has failed in its duty to protect its citizens.""Britain is at a fork in the road to darkness or greatness and that will be decided only in a matter of years."Fox News Greg Norman and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
