By

She once walked the runways of Milan, now she walks the halls of the White House.

One thing about Melania Trump we can all agree on is that she’s anything but ordinary. Her transformation from a small-town Slovenian girl to one of America’s most recognizable First Ladies is one reserved for a Hollywood script. While she largely avoids the public spotlight, her beauty, style, and enigmatic presence continue to captivate public attention. Whether admired for her fashion choices or speculated about for her skincare and beauty regimen, Melania Trump remains one of the most talked-about women in the world.

Recently, an old bikini photo of a young Melania reemerged, triggering many comments.

“Wow. Beautiful Lady and Fashion Model. Not many who look like this and are so blessed. She seems beautiful inside and out,” one fan wrote.

“They always start posting photos of her when she was modeling. Look at the way models are today. Melania is beautiful and classy and I hope she’s our first lady again,” another person added.

“THAT BEAUTY OF WOMAN 🌺🌺🌺🤩🤩🤩,” third chimed in.

Some even noted that compared to Jill and Michelle, also two stunning former First Ladies, Melania is the only one whose bikini photo have emerged on the social media.

Not long ago, the story of Trump asking from his wife to walk around Mar-a-Lago in a bikini to show his friends “what they were missing” reemerged after the Australian 60 Minutes leaked audio clip obtained from Australian Billionaire Anthony Pratt in 2023. In it, Pratt recalled, “Then, Melania said, back to him: ‘I’ll do that when you walk around with me in your bikini.'”

At the time, Trump took to the social media to blast the report as “Fake News,” calling Pratt a “red-haired weirdo.”

“I never spoke to him about Submarines, but I did speak to him about creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, because that’s what I’m all about – JOBS, A GREAT ECONOMY, LOW TAXES, NO INFLATION, ENERGY DOMINANCE, STRONG BORDERS, NO ENDLESS WARS, LOW INTEREST RATES, and much more! Maggie Hagerman and the Misfits never called me for a comment. Why would they, they just write anything they want. Whether it’s correct or not is of ZERO importance to them. All the News That’s Unfit To Print. That’s why we call it the Fake News!” he posted on Truth Social at the time.

Woman, 20, found dead on bus with 26 iPhones taped to her body as disturbing theory emerges

A 20-year-old woman died in a bus after she fell ill during a long-distance travel from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo in Brazil. Allegedly, she started feeling unwell when the bus stopped at a restaurant in Guarapuava, in the central region of Paraná.

She started complaining of breathing difficulties and was treated by Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) workers. However, it didn’t take long before she suffered a seizure and despite the attempts by the medics to revive her, she passed away.

The strangest thing surrounding the dead woman was that she had 26 iPhones glued to her body.

The phones were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service.

Inside her luggage there were several bottles of alcohol, but no presence of drugs.

According to authorities, she was traveling alone.

At the time being, the woman’s exact cause of death has also been under investigation. She did suffer a seizure and went into a cardiac arrest, but it is yet to be determined what caused the heavy breathing that forced her heart to stop working.

“The Paraná Civil Police are investigating the case and awaiting the conclusion of forensic reports to clarify the cause of death. According to preliminary information, the woman, who was alone, was traveling from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo. The 26 cell phones that were glued to her body were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service,” police said, according to Brazilian news outlet Globo, as reported by Mirror.

Further, authorities said that the late woman, whose identity hasn’t been revealed to the public, was likely involved in smuggling goods.

At church, I noticed an adult woman with lots of tattoos and body piercings, and it made me feel uncomfortable

By

Monica Pop

-

A female churchgoer shared a story of a woman who visited the church and attended the service one Sunday but her body was covered in tattoos and she had all sorts of piercings. The person sharing the story believed the woman neither looked nor was dressed appropriately for church.

For the churchgoer, the place of worship has always been synonymous with modesty and reverence so she believed the tattooed woman didn’t belong there. She felt strong urge to object, so she approached her after service and told her her looks wasn’t appropriate for the house of God, to what the woman replied, “How I look has nothing to do with you.”

These words made the churchgoer question her act. She wondered if she was right to feel the discomfort that stemmed from outdated beliefs rather than any real issue. She asked herself if the modern times brought the need to reconsider our assumptions about what is and what’s not appropriate to wear to church, the place where we reach to God and practice our beliefs.

The truth is that nowadays plenty of people express their creativity and personality through tattoos, so are we on the wrong to judge them for their way of self-expression?

The question that floats in the air is whether there should be a standard dress code for those who attend a service at the church and try to be closer to God by visiting his sanctuary.

Some people dress modestly because they believe they show respect for the sacredness of the place that way. Others, however, don’t think that our clothing matters because the faith is all about acceptance, compassion, and unity.

We should never forget that every person who tries to find solace at the House of God brings their personal history with them, and the tattoos, the piercings, and the unconventional clothing simply reflects their true selves and their life journey, as well as their personal struggles.

However, while valuing individuality is essential, respecting the church as a holy place is also very important.

Balancing respect for tradition with the embrace of personal expression can create a more inclusive worship space where everyone feels appreciated and welcomed.

In order to promote mutual understanding, churches may consider encouraging attire that maintains a balance between personal expression and respect for the sacred space.

Churchgoers should dress in whatever makes them feel comfortable as long as the choice of outfit is respectful to the church. This approach would let individuals respect their own style and the traditional values at the same time.

At the end of the day, it is in the core of the faith to accept everyone equally, just like our savior did with the marginalized members of society.

Outrage as Trump revives dreaded school test

By

Monica Pop

-

According to the Federal Register, Donald Trump has signed 176 executive orders since taking office for the second time. Many of those orders sparked backlash and were widely deemed unlawful, but that didn’t stop him from pushing his agenda forward.

Among the rest, he prompted outrage from environmental groups and international leaders when he decided to pull out of the Paris Accord again. Further, he ended the federal DEI programs, renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, imposed huge tariffs on basically every country on Earth, redefine “sex” in all federal policy as biological sex assigned at birth, excluding gender identity, and more.

Most recently, Trump signed an executive order that brings back the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools, a test generations of students dreaded.

The test was first introduced in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson and involves physical activities such as a one-mile run, sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups.

“This is an important step in our mission to make America healthy again,” Trump stated when he signed the executive order, with golfer Bryson DeChambeau, Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker and former New York Giants player Lawrence Taylor by his side.

“It’s something that’s very important, what we’re doing, very important. Dating back to the administration of President Dwight D Eisenhower, this council has championed the vigor and strength and vitality of the American people today. We continue that very proud tradition.”

Trump added: “It was a big deal. This was a wonderful tradition, and we’re bringing it back. It’s turned out to be very, very popular to do.”

In 2012, then-President Barack Obama replaced the Presidential Fitness Test with a new program called FitnessGram, but now under Trump the dreaded test is back again.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN: “President Trump wants every young American to have the opportunity to emphasize healthy, active lifestyles — creating a culture of strength and excellence for years to come.”

The decision comes at the time when the US is preparing to host significant sporting events such as the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.

The public, however, especially those who were students when the test was part of the school system, remember it being brutal.

Taking to Reddit, one person wrote, “We did this ‘beep test’ for varsity soccer and kids would throw up or nearly throw up every summer. It was brutal.” Another added: “I remember doing this test in elementary school. I can still hear the audio from this stupid test in my head. I remember I only got up to like 15 or so before I was done…I was an out of shape kid.”

There were also those who challenged Trump to take it himself.

Horrific hot air balloon incident kills eight people

Hot air balloon carrying 21 people caught on fire while traveling through the air meters above the ground in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina, killing eight people. The rest of the passengers, including the pilot, survived and were taken to hospital.

According to Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency, they are taking “all necessary steps to investigate the condition of the aircraft and the crew.”

“According to the pilot, who is one of the survivors, a fire started inside the basket, so he started to lower the balloon, and when the balloon was very close to the ground he told people to jump,” officer Tiago Luiz Lemos, from the Praia Grande police station, told reporters at the scene, BBC reported.

“They started to jump, but some people did not manage to. The flames started to grow and because of the weight, the balloon began to rise again.

“It later fell because of a loss of suspension.”

Unfortunately, those who didn’t manage to jump out of the hot air balloon lost their lives. Officials stated that three of the victims were found holding each other at the time of their death.

“We are in mourning. A tragedy has happened. We will see how it unfolds, what happened, why it happened. But the important thing now is for the state structure to do what it can,” Gov. Jorginho Mello said in a video on X.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva extended his condolences to the victims’ families and offered federal support to both the survivors and local officials.

The hot air balloon ride was planned to last 45 minutes and go up to 3,280 feet — the ride cost $100 per person.

Sobrevoar, the company that operated the multicolored balloon, stated in a statement that it followed all regulations and had no prior accidents on record before Saturday.

“Despite all necessary precautions and the efforts of our pilot – who has extensive experience and followed all recommended procedures in an attempt to save everyone on board the balloon – we are suffering from the pain caused by this tragedy,” the statement read.

Praia Grande, in southern Santa Catarina, where the accident happened, is a well-known tourist attraction renowned for its striking canyon scenery. It is often called the “Brazilian Cappadocia,” after Turkey’s hot-air ballooning hotspot.

‘I didn’t even recognize him’— Fans react to Michael Douglas’ new look

By

After a stunning Hollywood career that spanned decades, actor Michael Douglas devastated fans when he announced he is retiring from acting.

At the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where he was presenting a newly restored print of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the Wall Street star told reporters, “I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop.”

Douglas was answering questions about his career when he revealed he’s stepping away from the big screen. “I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set,” he said. “I say I’m not retired because if something special came up, I’d go back, but otherwise, no.”

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on his decision. “Michael Douglas announced he’s retiring from acting at age 80,” one X user wrote. “If this is actually it & if we never see Douglas on screen again, it’s been one hell of a ride. All Douglas did in the last 50 years was make hits & take risks. There is no ‘next Michael Douglas’. He’s one of one.”

Another person wrote, “End of an era, but what an actor, what a star,” while a third added: “Wow, end of an era! Michael Douglas, what a legend. Wishing him a happy retirement!”

Douglas last appeared on screen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and Franklin (2024), both filmed in 2021. He hasn’t acted since.

Douglas also mentioned working on “one little independent movie,” trying to “get a good script out of,” but with no additional work lined up.

However, while he might never do any new films, his fans still get to see what’s he’s been up to nowadays thanks to his social media posts through which he offers glimpses into his daily life.

One particular video Douglas shared on Independence Day, resonated deeply with many and went viral in no time. Not only the video gathered many views and admiration, but also plenty of comments. While many praised him for the video, his acting, and the genuine person he is, they also couldn’t help but make comments about his look. A number of people wrote that the actor, who is currently 80 years old, aged visibly. “I didn’t recognize him!” one person commented.

In 2010, Douglas was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer and had to undergo a gruelling course of radiation and chemotherapy. He was given 80% chance of recovery.

Speaking of his disease, the Fatal Attraction star told Guardian that the cancer was caused by a sexually transmitted disease. “Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV (human papillomavirus),” he said. “I did worry if the stress caused by my son’s incarceration didn’t help trigger it. But it’s a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer.”

Currently, he’s enjoying his life and supporting his wife’s acting career.

Why Diana spent her last Christmas alone with reheated meal

By

Monica Pop

-

The moment Princess Diana and Prince Charles got engaged back in 1981, they instantly became one of the most famous and most powerful couples. Many women wanted to be in her place, not knowing that the relationship and the marriage were doomed from the start, and the future King was to be blamed for that.

People close to the late Princess, among which Diana’s astrologer, Penny Thornton, claim that the problems between Diana and Charles didn’t start when she learned he was having an affair with Camilla, who later became his wife, but way before that.

Shortly after they announced their engagement, Charles and Diana sat in front of the cameras. Charles said he was “delighted and frankly amazed” that Diana wanted a royal life with him and the then-soon-to-be princess noted that Charles was “pretty amazing.” But then, a question followed, and Charles’ answer to it traumatized young Diana. When the reported asked them in they were in love, Diana said yes, and Charles answered, “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”

What many dubbed “the wedding of the century” ended in a painful separation which eventually led to divorce, after Queen Elizabeth urged her son and her daughter-in-law to officially call their relation quits.

The truth is that Princess Diana was everything but ordinary, “breaking” traditions when it came to her children’s happiness. Her passion for motherhood was unmatched. She was perfectly aware that her children needed to be protected from the outside world and she was determined to teach them about what’s outside the walls of the royal palace. At the same time, she wanted their childhood to be as normal as possible.

Following her separation from Charles, she feared that they could take her boys from her.

Biographer Howard Hodgson, author of the 2007 book Charles: The Man Who Will Be King, wrote: “She was well aware that the Queen had the constitutional right and authority under common law to take control of both boys’ care and education.

“As such she could become the boys’ guardian or even appoint one: this would probably be their father and that might lead to Diana’s exclusion if she finally burned all her bridges with the Royal Family.”

Once the marriage was over, Princess Diana would spend Christmas Day alone, according to former royal chef Darren McGrady.

Speaking with royal reporter Omid Scobie for Yahoo UK series The Royal Story, McGrady revealed: “It was always quite sad when you were working with the princess the day before Christmas.

“William and Harry would go off to Sandringham and Princess Diana was there on her own. And she insisted the staff spending their time with their families over Christmas, so we would leave food in the refrigerator.

“So there was the princess, on her own, on Christmas Day.”

According to McGrady, the late princess didn’t feel comfortable while at Sandringham where the royals gathered together each December because “[it] was so tight, so compact. There were so many people there, all the families.

“You just couldn’t get away. You came out of the dining room, and you couldn’t go into the sitting room because there were three or four people in there playing charades or Scrabble or something.”

The former royal chef added, “She would go off for a walk on her own and often I would bump into her when she was out walking. So, I think that’s probably what she wasn’t keen on.”

In the book Diana: Her True Story, royal author Andrew Morton wrote that in audio recordings he had received, the People’s Princess could be heard saying she felt like an “outsider” at Sandringham, which was “terrifying and so disappointing.”

“No boisterous behaviour, lots of tension, silly behaviour, silly jokes that outsiders would find odd but insiders understood. I sure was [an outsider].”

Diana died in a car crash August 31, 1997.

She lost her life after she and her partner Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, her driver Henri Paul, and her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones crashed the Mercedes in the Pont de I’Alma tunnel in Paris while trying to escape the paparazzi.

My father prioritized his own freedom instead of supporting me—and I’m still coming to terms with it

By

Monica Pop

My parents and I have always been very close, so it’s no surprise that I expect my father to support me financially with the money he got from selling the motorbike repair shop he had been running for 50 years. Now that my mom has passed away and he’s retired, I figured he’ll settle into a quiet life, but no, he does the exact opposite.

With the money he got from selling the shop, my father is purchasing a brand new Harley that costs $35,000, planning a cross-country journey “before it’s too late.”

Well, his so-called “last great adventure” means spending all the money on himself while I am drowning in debt, struggling to pay bills and getting myself a small condo.

Honestly, him chasing a midlife crisis instead of helping me or investing wisely is something I can’t accept that easily. But whenever I mention that to him, he starts laughing, saying, “At my age, all crises are end-of-life crises.” I really can’t understand how he can just waste that much money on stupid things when I can use it to stand on my feet.

On top of everything, I’ve had to scrap my Bahamas trip, which I was planning to pay for with what I believe is rightfully my inheritance.

My friends are with me on this one, saying it is every parent’s job to support their children and help them financially as much as they can.

What my dad can’t understand is that I have a future to build, unlike him, who doesn’t have that much time left, so if he won’t do the right thing, I’m ready to claim what should already be mine.

He claims this foolish trip is some sort of tribute to my mom who wanted him to keep living fully once she passes away, but I know mom would want me to have that money and start my life over.

At this point, part of me wonders if I should just walk away and stop expecting anything, stop calling, stop caring. But another part of me still hopes he’ll come to his senses. I don’t know which voice to listen to anymore.
