In her new memoir, AlphaPussy, the sultry actress tells how she grew up in California’s San Fernando Valley in the ’70s and ’80s, how she “survived” “in the midst of the porn explosion,” and then found her way to success in Hollywood.

The official ‘Survivor’ podcast will go on hiatus after season 50. “Survivor 50 is designed to be a celebration and features some of the most exciting game design we’ve ever undertaken,” Probst said in a statement to Variety. “So we made a conscious decision not to pull back the curtain right away while the event was happening. We wanted our fans to discover it for themselves and experience it in real time.
