At a 2024 Grammys viewing party, Kelly Rizzo went public with her new relationship, and she has now made her romance with her boyfriend, actor Breckin Meyer, Instagram-official.

The widow of comedian Bob Saget took to social media on Tuesday to extend birthday wishes to her partner, marking their first public post together on the platform. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! To the man who is kind, sweet, silly, thoughtful, completely hilarious, handsome, understanding, charming, forever curious, compassionate, witty, warm & wonderful,” Rizzo, 44, posted. “You deserve to be endlessly celebrated today!🎂❤️🎉,” she added.

Actress Caitlin Crosby wrote, “Oh it’s instagram offish !!! 🥰🥰🥰,” while Jana Kramer wrote, “I love this so much.”

Speaking to E! of her new relationship, Rizzo said that it took “a while” for her to “get to the point where” she felt comfortable dating again.

Addressing critics who claimed she had moved on too quickly following Bob Saget‘s sudden passing, Rizzo said, “Unless you are a widow or a widower, you truly have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this because you do not know what it’s like.” She added: “You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process.”

Rizzo started dating 18 months after her husband died and she’s grateful she found a partner who understands that Saget is “always going to be a part of my life.”

“He always asks questions about him and keeps him a part of the conversation, and that means so much to me,” she said.

Although Rizzo didn’t need the blessing of Bob’s daughters, it held significance for her to receive their approval, aligning with her sense of what felt appropriate in the situation.

“I’d love to think that Bob would want me to be happy too, but to hear it from them is just a totally different level,” the journalist said. “And it meant the world just to hear, ‘Hey, we trust you. We love you. We know you’re going to do what’s right, and we want you to be happy.’”

Rizzo and Saget were married for four years until his passing in 2022.

As of Rizzo’s new love, Breckin Meyer, he’s best known for the 1990s cult classic Clueless. Meyer is also a writer and a producer, having served as the creator of Men At Work.

Meyer was previously married to filmmaker Deborah Kaplan from 2001 to 2014. The two share two daughters.

The woman who identifies as a dog: Embracing her true self

By

-

These days, it is not uncommon for people to have a wide range of identities, including identifying with non-human beings or entities. And no matter how strange this sounds to many, these individuals do believe they should have been born as other people, different gender, or even animals.

Appearing on KIIS FM’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Meow, an American woman, shared fascinating details about her everyday life as a canine.

During her interview, Meow provided insight into her unique lifestyle, explaining that she sleeps in a crate, enjoys dog treats, and relies on her handlers for care.

“I have pastel blankets and pastel pillows in there, something about being in a confined space, I don’t know if it makes me feel safe from the world or makes me feel like the world is safe from me but it feels comfort for sure!” she said.

“It can fit me, the rule of thumb with a dog is that if they can stand up in it, then it’s big enough for them, so as long as I’m on all fours standing up.”

Meow, who believes she’s a Dalmatian, is also a well-known star on social media platforms like Twitch. She fully embraces her dog-like characteristics, occasionally barking and moving on all fours.

Her crate is the place where she feels secure and comfortable and is decorated with a bunch of pillows and blankets that make it a cozy place.

Meow isn’t in a relationship, but she does have ‘handlers’ who act like her boyfriends. She also considers them friends who help her with various tasks, such as going on walks and practicing training exercises. Her relationship with them is non-sexual, but they share similar interests.

When it comes to her diet, Meow does eat normal food such as shredded chicken and jerky, but also dog treats such as biscuits.

Meow doesn’t really care what people think of her lifestyle as she confidently focuses on living out her dog identity.

On Instagram, under the username meowdalyn, her online presence provides a peek into her remarkable lifestyle, attracting a following of more than 11,000 individuals.

Meow’s story is a poignant testament of the ways individuals opt to manifest their innermost selves. It is also a testament to the significance of embracing authenticity, irrespective of societal norms or expectations.

If you see these painful red bumps, you may have dyshidrotic eczema

By
Monica Pop
-

One type of skin condition people suffer from is dyshidrotic eczema, which is prevalent in the spring. Although this condition isn’t curable, it is manageable and can be kept under control. The symptoms are small, itchy blisters.

Eczema refers to a group of diseases that cause skin inflammation, often known as dermatitis. As per statistics, eczema affects an estimated 35 million people in the States only. Around seventy percent of these cases include children under the age of five.

During a flare-up, the skin becomes red, itchy, and swollen with fluid-filled bumps that may ooze and crust. The most common triggers of eczema are allergic reactions, but it can also be genetic. Eczema isn’t contagious.

One of the most common forms, as stated previously, is dyshidrotic eczema.

Dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) is a chronic, recurrent skin condition that causes itching and often appears symmetrically on the palms, fingers, and soles. It is marked by small, deep-seated vesicles measuring 1–2 mm, which eventually resolve with scaling after a few weeks.

There is some disagreement about the exact terminology and definitions, but this condition is also referred to as pompholyx, acute and recurrent vesicular hand dermatitis, acute palmoplantar eczema, vesicular endogenous eczema, cheiropompholyx (when affecting the hands), podopompholyx or pedopompholyx (when affecting the feet), and cheiropodopompholyx.

Of course, not every inflammation of the skin is related to this type of eczema, so before you even start treatment make sure you are properly diagnosed.

Some of the most common symptoms of dyshidrotic eczema are:

  • Deep-set blisters on hands and feet (specifically on the edges of the fingers, toes, palms, and soles of the feet)
  • Itching
  • Redness
  • Flaking
  • Scaly, cracked skin
  • Pain

People with contact dermatitis, atopic eczema, or hay fever are at a higher risk of developing dyshidrotic eczema. Sadly, it has a tendency to get infected, which delays the healing process.

Although there is no cure and no surefire way to prevent flare-ups from taking place, an effective skincare routine can bolster your skin’s resistance to inflammation.

The most conventional treatment for dyshidrotic eczema are creams, which likely include corticosteroid creams or ointment or a prescribed injection or pill.

Other treatments include:

  • UV light treatments
  • draining large blisters
  • antihistamines
  • various anti-itch creams
  • immune-suppressing ointments, such as Protopic and Elidel

Besides these conventional methods, there are also natural ways of treating and soothing the condition. Generally, maintaining clean and moisturized skin is one of the most effective methods for managing eczema. The type of treatment and its frequency will depend on your specific symptoms, but these natural, at-home approaches enable you to feel confident about the products you use on your skin.

Cold Compresses

To reduce the inflammation of the skin, soak the affected area and apply cold compresses for 15 minutes. Repeat this process two to four times throughout the day and then apply moisturizer to the affected area for maximum effectiveness.

Aloe Vera

Renowned for its ability to soothe irritated skin and accelerate the healing process, aloe vera can help reduce the symptoms of eczema. For best results, break off a piece of the plant and apply the thick gel directly to your inflamed skin. Alternatively, you can purchase a bottle of natural aloe vera lotion from your local pharmacy.

    Oatmeal

    Due to its proven anti-inflammatory properties, oatmeal is often used to alleviate skin conditions, including dyshidrotic eczema. Applying oatmeal directly to irritated skin can help reduce eczema symptoms, leaving your skin feeling healthy and soothed.

    Has it ever happened that you stumbled upon an odd object whose purpose was totally questionable? If yes, you are not alone.

    There are plenty of objects people used in the past that are no longer popular, and when we find them in our basements, the attics, or other places, we can’t help but question what they were used for. Luckily, we have the Internet today and we rely heavily on it and the netizens to unravel these mysteries.

    1. Cuneiform Tablet from the Louvre

    This object, with a heavy chunk of metal that had retained its color for decades, turned out to be a cuneiform tablet, commonly sold as a souvenir at the Louvre and other museums.

    2. Lockout/Tagout Gang Lock

    Another object that gathered the attention of Internet users was a type of clamp that wouldn’t open beyond a certain point. netizens were quick to identify it as a gang lock used for Lockout/Tagout in workplaces, ensuring the safety of multiple people working with equipment.

    Someone found a random metal object that turned out to be used as a key chain attachment.

    4. Antique Butcher’s Thumb Protector

    5. Blue Reflective Markers for Animal Safety

    If you have ever spotted these blue reflective markers on trees facing a field, the answer is they serve the purpose of reflecting car headlights towards the fields, helping animals avoid crossing the road.

    6. Hand Warmer with Gel and Metal Disc

    This small pouch with red gel and a metal disc inside is actually a hand warmer. Clicking the metal disc triggers a chemical reaction that heats up the pad, and it can be recharged by boiling it in water.

    These tools a person found inside the apartment he had currently moved in turned out to be either clay modeling tools or cake-decorating tools. You choose.

    8. The Wooden Box

    Someone found such a box and after opening it, they noticed more wooden pieces in different colors.

    9. Baby Bottle and Glass Drainer

    This spiky plastic item turned out to be a baby bottle and glass drainer.

    10. Neon Rainbow Acrylic Support Tiles for Mahjong

    Obtaining fluorescent rainbow acrylic mystery sticks from a thrift shop left someone perplexed. Internet sleuths determined they were acrylic support tiles for playing Mahjong.

    11. Occupancy Sensor for Office Workstations

    A device affixed beneath an office desk left someone questioning its purpose. It was identified as an occupancy sensor designed to assist in organizing workstations within an office.

    12. Boy Scouts Neckerchief Slide

    This small metal ornament buried on a rural farm featuring an eagle, Flor de Lis, and rope pattern turned out to be a Boy Scouts neckerchief slide.

    13. Mesh Bed Bug Detector

    Staying in a hotel room and noticing a red-flashing light emanating from a rubber piece on the bed leg? It’s actually a mesh bed bug detector.

    14. Ruling Pen for Calligraphy

    This rather strange and unique item with a metal dial on the top is actually a ruling pen for drawing with ink or other drawing fluids.

    15. Old Puzzle Called Octo-mania

    Someone stumbled upon a wooden box with six numbered wooden cubes inside. After asking the netizens for help, they learned it was an old game called Octo-mania.

    16. Tool for Leather Manipulation

    If you were the one discovering this wooden tool with a metal part marked with the letter A, you would be as curious as the person who wondered what its purpose might be. t is, in fact, a tool designed for softening, imprinting, and cutting leather.

    17. Hair Scissors Key for Adjusting Hair Clippers

    This cog-like metallic ‘tag’ found in a hairdressing kit is actually a hair scissors key used for adjusting hair clippers.

    18. Shoe Polisher in a Compressible Sponge

    Jennifer Garner trying to save ex-husband Ben Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez – wants to ‘keep them together,’ says source

    By

    -

    Amid ongoing rumors that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are having difficulties with their marriage, Afflek’s ex-wife and mother to his children, Jennifer Garner, is “encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen,” a source told Us Weekly.

    The source added: “[Garner] fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy.” The reason why is that although their marriage didn’t work and Garner considers Afflek “a complicated guy,” the two have always been very cooperative when it comes to their children, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.

    Further, it has been reported by some media outlets that it was Lopez herself who turned to Garner for help as she feels like Garner is “one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through.”

    A source told the Daily Mail: “[Garner] has been through it with the same man herself and although the circumstances were quite different… they both dealt with some of the same issues.”

    Garner and Affleck split up in 2018, and the 52-year-old actress started dating businessman John Miller. While she has moved on romantically from her ex-husband, she considers Lopez a stabilizing influence in his life and wants to help save their marriage.

    “Jen does not want Ben to pull the plug on this marriage because she really does care about JLo,” an insider told the Daily Mail. They added that Garner “did go to his house to talk to him about this and to try and keep the two of them together.”

    “JLo was told several times by Jen how valued she is in all their lives,” the source added. “She is one of the only women who can get through to Ben and keep him from jumping off the deep end with his addiction.”

    Back in 2020, Affleck admitted in a New York Times interview that his drinking had worsened his “marital problems” with Garner.

    “People with compulsive behavior, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they’re trying to make go away,” he said at the time. “You’re trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or sex or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse. Then you do more of it to make that discomfort go away. Then the real pain starts.”

    “It becomes a vicious cycle you can’t break,” he continued. “That’s at least what happened to me.”

    Earlier this week, Affleck was absent from the premiere of his wife’s new movie, Atlas.

    Pat Sajak’s final ‘Wheel of Fortune’ episode has an airdate

    -

    Pat Sajak, the long-time host of Wheel of Fortune, has announced his retirement.

    After 43 years, Sajak will leave the show on Friday, June 7, when the final episode of him as s host would air, Entertainment Weekly confirms. The farewell episode will coincide with the current season 41’s finale.

    For his role as a host, Sajak received 19 Daytime Emmy Award nominations, winning three.

    He has been part of Wheel of Fortune since its 1983 nighttime debut but has also hosted the daytime edition from 1981 to 1989.

    In the statement he issued last summer, Sajak said, “Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)”

    Stepping down from his role doesn’t mean Sajak would be leaving TV entirely. On the contrary, he will stay on as a consultant for three years. The network quickly chose Ryan Seacrest as Sajak’s replacement for season 42, with Seacrest also taking on the role of consulting producer.

    “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak,” Seacrest said of the new gig. “I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them.”

    Leading up to his last episode, Wheel of Fortune will air a series of episodes titled “Thanks for the Memories” in honor of the longtime host.

    Vanna White will remain with ‘Wheel of Fortune’ through 2025-26 though she admitted it was hard to envision the show without Sajak. “Everybody relates Wheel of Fortune to Pat and Vanna,” White told PEOPLE in 2022. “We’re like Ken and Barbie, you know? We’ve been in everybody’s homes for 40 years.”

    Queen Camilla’s ex-husband secretly finds love with TV host at 84 – and you might recognize her

    Queen Camilla’s ex husband, Andrew Parker Bowles has found love again.

    He is said to be dating Telly’s Queen of Mean Anne Robinson. As per The Sun, the former Weakest Link host, 79, and retired Army brigadier, 83, have been secretly dating for a year.

    The relationship has been confirmed by Robinson herself.

    “Yes. Full stop. Mind your own business,” she told Saga magazine.

    Discussing her experience of re-entering the dating scene in her seventies, after being single for over a decade, she told Saga: “I’d been out of the game for so long. And also I don’t drink. If you don’t drink, you’re not as reckless are you?

    “I’m a great believer in surprising yourself by taking risks. Personally and professionally. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If the worst that can happen is you get some egg on your face, that’s not terrible is it?”

    In December of last year a source told Hello! about the relationship between Bowles and Robinson, which came fourteen years after the passing of Bowles’ second wife, Rosemary Dickinson, in 2010.

    “They’ve been having an affair for about eight months. It’s an extraordinary match as they’re from very different backgrounds, and Anne has a reputation for being quite bossy,” the source said.

    The couple reportedly met last year at a lunch with mutual friends, and since then, they have largely managed to keep their developing relationship out of the spotlight.

    Robinson divorced her former husband John Penrose in 2007.

    Following the news of their relationship, people have reacted very positively, with many sending messages of support and well-wishes.

    “84❤️79, we need more love stories like this,” one person wrote on Facebook.

    “She certainly looks better than his ex-wife and hopefully has a better personality,” another said.

    “He clearly has a type lol,” a third person quipped.

    Bowles and Camilla divorced in 1995 and it was widely reported that during their marriage, he had numerous extramarital affairs, including several with women who were friends of Camilla.

    While Bowles enjoys his love life, Camilla and Charles are also spending quality time together.

    The couple recently headed up to Aberdeen, Scotland, to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary. Photos last month depicted them arriving at Aberdeen Airport after flying in from London.

    Following the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, Queen Camilla has been a rock for him. She has been performing royal duties and the public appreciate her efforts and dedication. Camilla’s popularity has grown bigger over the years, especially during the last couple of months.

    As per The Sun, Camilla supports her ex’s new relationship.

    After all the heartbreak, Jason Momoa found new love, and you’ll surely recognize her

    By
    Monica Pop
    -

    Around two years after he officially split from his now-ex-wife Lisa Bonet, Jason Momoa went public with his new relationship. He and actress Adria Arjona were spotted packing on the PDA on Tuesday, May 21. Two days prior, they made their relationship Instagram official.

    People first started guessing that the two were dating in early May of this year when Momoa appeared at Basingstoke Comic Con in England and disclosed to fans that he had been in a relationship for a considerable period. “I’m very much in a relationship. I’ve been in a relationship for a while,” he told the crowd. “I’m really enjoying [my] privacy ’cause back in the day nobody gave a f**k, and now everybody does.”

    Recently, the Aquaman star posted several photos with Arjona as part of a collection showcasing their trip to Japan. In one of the pictures, the two are seen smiling on a beach. In the post, he lovingly referred to Arjona as “mi amor.” 

    “Japan, you are a dream come true you blew my mind. We’re so thankful for everyone who opened their homes, making memories with new friends and old friends, sharing another amazing adventure with mi amor. ON THE ROAM motorcycles and mayhem. All my aloha j,” the actor wrote.

    Arjona has had a Hollywod career herself. After several notable roles, among those in Pacific Rim Uprising, Life of the Party, and a recurring part in True Detective, she had her breakthrough role as Dorothy Gale in the Oz book adaptation Emerald City. Although the series was canceled after one season, she has since secured numerous significant roles.

    Some of her most prominent roles include Morbius, Father of the Bride, Good Omens, and Andor. Additionally, she appears in the new comedy-action Netflix film, Hit Man, directed by Richard Linklater, in which she stars in along with Glen Powell.

    One of her latest projects, Blink Twice, was directed by Zoë Kravitz, Momoa’s stepdaughter from his marriage to Bonet.

    Arjona was married to lawyer Edgardo Canales. Their relationship was a private one and no details of their split have been released.

    Before Arjona, Momoa briefly dated Eiza González for a few months in 2022.

    The new couple were both part of the cast of Netflix’s Sweet Girl, which was released in 2021.
