Will Smith is paying dearly for his smack and is currently dealing with the following issues

Over the years, actor Will Smith has received a number of awards, including an Oscar for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the father and coach of famed tennis players Venus and Serena Williams, in the biographical sports drama King Richard.

During the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, host Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s wife Jada’s alopecia, which made Smith get on stage and hit Rock. As a result, the actor has been banned from attending Academy functions, including the Oscars, for ten years.

Although he offered his apologies some three months after the incident that left people in a state of shock, things don’t seem good for the Man in Black star whose career is suffering.

A number of his projects have been postponed and some have been even canceled.

Among the rest, the Netflix original film Fast and Loose, featuring Smith, was put on hold. Although the streaming giant claimed the delay of the movie had nothing to do with the Oscar’s incident, their move has been a huge blow for Smith’s career.

The stand-up comedy series produced by Smith, This Joka, will not be returning to Roku for a second series. Meanwhile, TMZ reported that Smith’s other Netflix projects, The Council and Bright 2 could also be canceled as a consequence of his violent actions.

Sony has also allegedly paused production on Bad Boys 4, and Apple is yet to give a release date for Emancipation, a biopic of abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

Smith said he has been sorry for the incident and expressed his regrets on numerous occasions.

When he announced his resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Smith said, “I responded immediately to the Academy’s notice of the disciplinary hearing.

“And I intend to assume full responsibility for my actions,” he added.

“I acted inappropriately at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. Many individuals have been harmed as a result of my actions, including Chris, his family, countless friends and loved ones, everyone present, and spectators across the world who were watching at home. I betrayed the Academy’s trust.”

In a statement he released, Smith said he was sorry that he “deprived other nominees and winners of the opportunity to honor and be rewarded for their remarkable efforts.

“I want the Academy to keep doing the excellent job it does of supporting innovation and aesthetic expression in film,” he concluded. “I want the spotlight to shine on those who deserve it for their accomplishments.”

Smith is committed to making all in his power to ensure that violence should never again triumph over common sense and reason.

Al Roker is still in the hospital, which is unfortunate

After being admitted to the hospital for blood clots, Al Roker, the longtime Today show anchor, kept his fans updated of his health state.

“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been,” he began his post. “Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs.

“After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers and hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone,” he first posted on his social media.

Just before Thanksgiving, he posted a photo showing him getting ready to head home. He expressed his gratitude for all the good wishes and said he was sorry he missed this year’s Thanksgiving Parade.

“Alright, this is my version of the Thanksgiving Day parade. Getting ready to leave the hospital, time to blow this taco stand! Woohoo!” he said in a video.

Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager commented under the video saying the parade wasn’t same without Al.

Later, he posted another update, a photo showing him with his thumbs up at home, watching his co-workers carry on the tradition without him for the first time after 27 years. “Back home in time to catch a little bit of the #macysthanksgivingdayparade Missing being next to @savannahguthrie and @hodakotb.”

Sadly, as it looked like the 68-year-old weatherman was feeling better, he was once again admitted to the hospital, a day after Thanksgiving.

During Al’s emergency transfer, a source close to the family said that his wife, Deborah Roberts, was “locked out of her car and couldn’t get inside it.”

Allegedly, “the automobile broke down,” leaving her unable to retrieve her possessions, including her phone.

Al’s daughter Leila made sure to thank her father’s fans for the enormous support.

“Thank you to all the great friends and family who have reached out. We are deeply grateful,” she posted in an Instagram story.

We hope Al Roker would recover as soon as possible.

She went to the emergency room with a horrible stomach pain

A new world record has been set up after a doctor from India removed staggering number of gallstones from a 51-year-old patient.

Minati Mondal, the patient in question, was admitted to Debdoot Sevayan Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal, in eastern India, with severe pain in her abdomen.

After doctor Makhan Lala Saha, a gastrointestinal endo surgeon, ran tests, it was determined that the pain and the acid reflux Mondal suffered from were caused by stones in her gallbladder.

Following the hour-long laparoscopic surgery, Dr. Saha managed to remove 11,950 gallstones. It took the nurse quite some time to count them.

They said that they did expect a large number of gallstones, but they never believed a new world record would be set up.

“I was astonished to see the large number of stones that we extracted from the gall bladder of this patient. I had never thought that a gall bladder could contain so many stones.

“It took my assistants four hours to count the number of the stones that were between 2mm and 5mm in size. It took us 50 minutes to remove them.”

Dr. Saha has written to the Royal College of Pathologists in London to keep the specimen in the museum.

“Two months ago, I had operated on a girl who had 1,110 stones but despite the shocking number, I found that in 1983, doctors in Britain had removed 3,110 stones from a German patient’s gall bladder.

“But I feel this number can replace the past record since the current number is three times more than the record.”

The patient was released from the hospital after a two-day stay and is feeling just fine.

Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in the gallbladder. They range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Gallstones can cause sharp, intense pain in the upper right part of the abdomen known as biliary colic.

Meghan Markle gave Prince William the most unusual Christmas present

With Christmas being just around the corner and everyone getting excited about the most wonderful time of the year which is all about family and gatherings, we can’t help but turn to the rumors surrounding the British royalty and how they are spending Christmas.

This year would be quite different as King Charles would be hosting the celebration as the head of the monarchy for the first time since the Queen’s passing.

According to royal experts, Harry and Meghan have been invited to spend the holidays in Britain, but they allegedly declined the invitation and will be celebrating in sunny California instead.

When Harry and Meghan announced they were dating back in the day, late Queen Elizabeth made an exception and opened the doors to her home for Meghan and invited her to celebrate Christmas with the closest family.

Meghan was reported to be concerned about meeting William because she truly wanted to make an impression, and according to royal authors she and her brother-in-law got along nicely after their first meeting.

According to the Pro-Sussex biography Finding Freedom, written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, Meghan “thought William would no doubt want to know everything about her and her intentions.

“She was self-aware enough to understand that the brothers were wary of women who were more interested in their titles than their wellbeing,” they wrote.

“And she couldn’t have come from a more different world than that of William, his wife, and most of their friends.”

Netflix/ YouTube

As Harry and Meghan’s relationship progressed, William reportedly voiced concerns over the fast pace it developed and told his brother to take as much time as he needs to get to know Meghan. Harry on the other hand interpreted William’s words as “snobbish.”

“William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan’s traits and motivations,” a source told the Daily Mail, as revealed by the Express.

“He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family.”

However, following Megxit, when Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties, the relationship between them and the rest of the royals worsened.

Sadly, now that the trailer for Harry and Meghan’s new documentary is out and seen by millions in just 24 hours upon being on YouTube, many are convinced that the chances of smoothing things out between the Sussexes and the Firm, which seemed like a reality after the Queen’s passing, are even slimmer than before.

“No one sees what is happening behind closed doors,” Harry could be heard saying. “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”

Now that Christmas celebrations as a family seem like a distant past, there were times when Harry and Meghan were looking forward to spending time with the rest of the royalty.

What’s most, besides the hunting, the dinner, and the monarch’s speech, there is a tradition within the royal family to gift each other unusual gifts.

It has been said that Princess Ann once gave her brother King Charles a leather toilet seat cover and Harry gave his beloved grandma a shower cap that read “Ain’t life a b***h.”

When it came for the perfect gift for the Queen, Meghan opted for a singing hamster which both she and her corgis loved. However, William was something different, as Meghan was unsure of what to get him because according to authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobiee, her “biggest challenge was finding the perfect novelty gifts to amuse her new extended family.”

Eventually, she came up with the perfect idea and got William a spoon that had ‘cereal killer’ embossed on the shallow bowl end of it.

It turned out to be a huge hit.

The family of this brave 4-year-old girl wants to make her last birthday as special by

There is nothing worse than seeing your child suffer and you are unable to do anything about it no matter how hard you try.

Delaney Krings of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, is just four years old, but she was diagnosed with cancer recently. The news broke her parents’ hearts into a million pieces. “Your heart stops for a minute. The world stops. You can’t breathe, you just try to process it. She’s four, you know?” Delaney’s mom, Heather Krings, said.

“She brought light and love to people. That’s why she’s our angel. And, apparently, she’s being called elsewhere to finish her angel work,” Heather added as her little girl is battling brain cancer.

At the moment, sweet Delaney is at the Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee and her mom and dad take turns to watch over her. Next week, however, she is set to be transferred home to hospice care.

“You can’t really convey to a kid that they won’t be around much longer. So she knows she’s in the hospital because of the ‘owies’ in her head.”

As Delaney’s birthday is approaching on December 16, her parents asked from people from all over the country and everyone who has stumbled up her story to make her birthday by sending a birthday card.

“As long as she still knows what’s going on, she can laugh, she can hear, she can see, she knows us, she remembers us. That clock, you have to ignore it because what’s our purpose here? To make whatever time she has left as best as we can.”

We are so very sorry for everything this family is forced to go through. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during these difficult times.

Harry’s single gesture to Meghan gives us insight into their relationship, according to body language expert

Harry and Meghan, who are likely the most talked about couple nowadays thanks to the trailer for their Netflix documentary, attended the evening for the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award Gala in New York City and were recipients of the award.

The trailer caused quite a stir and many believe that the members of the Firm are not happy with it, but the Sussexes seem not to care as they are only focused on their business ventures. Among the rest, Harry is releasing his memoir on January 10, which is expected to reveal juicy details regarding his personal life and his relationship with his family.

From what we could see, the new Netflix documentary opens with a woman’s voice asking why Harry and Meghan started their journey in the first place. Then we saw photos of the couple, including holiday selfies, Harry playing the guitar, and their wedding day.

“No one sees what is happening behind closed doors,” Harry could be heard saying. “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”

Meghan adds, “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”

Regarding what the documentary series will be about, a Netflix spokesperson said: “In an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story.”

According to royal experts, the teaser trailer couldn’t have come at a worst time, just when Prince William and Kate were in the US for the Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston.

“Here it is, the day before Prince William and Catherine’s big royal event in the USA. Bitter Prince Harry and Meghan,” royal expert Richard Eden shared on Twitter.

“I’m appalled by the trailer for Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix reality show – and so are Prince William and Catherine’s inner circle.”

“Right on cue, Harry and Meghan drop the trailer for their victimhood fest on Netflix. Shameless,” GB News presenter Dan Wootton said. “Meghan has already destroyed the Markles. Now Harry is trying to destroy the Windsors. Small mercy that the late Queen doesn’t have to live through this.”

The second trailer shows Harry saying, “No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth,” which caused even greater interest in the documentary.

The royals are said not to be happy with this project.

“The Prince and Princesses’ team will wait to see what’s in the Netflix series before deciding what to do, but you can see the direction of travel,” a source told Express about William and Kate’s opinion regarding the documentary.

“I genuinely think it’s going to be worse than the royals can imagine,” a source in contact with a Netflix production insider told Mirror. “I’m told that it’s going to be utterly explosive and will be very damaging.”

“A lot of people are either pro-Sussex or pro-William and Kate, but there’s a belief that this documentary will bring people onside with Harry and Meghan. The big question is that, whatever the revelations are, who will people side with after seeing the show. It has that feeling like the public will have to choose,” another source told the paper.

“Whatever comes out, some people will think that Harry is betraying his family and that it’s unforgivable. But if what finally airs is as seismic as we’re led to believe, then it may be good for the Sussexes. There’s been some talk the documentary has been toned down, but at the moment, that’s wrong.”

Harry and Meghan, on the other hand, are simply living their lives. On Tuesday, they flew to New York where they received the Ripple of Hope Award, honoring those who have demonstrated “an unwavering commitment to social change and worked to protect and advance equity, justice, and human rights.”

Among the rest, Meghan was praised for her bravery to speak about mental health openly.

For the occasion, the former actress wore a beautifully elegant custom-made Louis Vuitton white gown and Princes Diana’s aquamarine ring.

During the gala, the couple was sitting next to each other, smiling. “They might as they go to post handhold, but to keep it continuous tells me that they rely on each other and they want to be seen as a united couple,” body language expert Patti Wood said and added that Meghan and Harry’s love differs from many other couples walking the red carpet.

Wood added that the Sussexes use mutual touch,” when one person responds to touch by grabbing their hand or touching the waist or back, for example.

The expert also said that Harry and Meghan’s interlaced handhold “shows a desire to kind of mesh and be seen as joint.”

We are yet to see what the documentary and Harry’s memoir would really do for the relationship between him and the rest of the royals.

Jamie Lee Curtis, overwhelmed with emotion, makes a heartbreaking statement

Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, and Kelsey Grammer were among the many who were deeply affected by the sudden passing of actress Kirstie Alley.

The Cheers star lost her battle to colon cancer at the age of 71. According to her children, who shared the saddening news on the social media, Alley was diagnosed just recently.

Grammer said that mourning the loss of a public person should be private, but he still admitted he loved Alley.

Danson, who starred alongside Alley in Cheers, said he was watching an episode of the show just hours before he learned the devastating news.

“Her ability to play a woman on the verge of a mental breakdown was both sad and delightfully funny,” he said. “She made me laugh 30 years ago when she filmed that moment, and she made me laugh just as hard today,” Danson added.

“I found out Kirstie had died just as I was getting off the plane. I am heartbroken, but I will always be grateful for all of the times she made me laugh. I’m sending all of my love to her children. They are aware that their mother has a great and pure heart. I’m going to miss her terribly.”

“Kirstie was a one-of-a-kind individual who was also a fantastic friend. Her capacity for joy was limitless. We became friends almost immediately after she started working at Cheers. My kids adored her, and she adored them as well,” Perlman said.

“We stayed at her house for sleepovers, and she devised treasure hunts for us to partake in. She threw huge Halloween and Easter parties, and she invited the whole cast and staff of the show, as well as their families. She desired that everyone have a sense of belonging. She cared deeply for her children. I’ve never encountered somebody remotely similar to her. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have known her. I’m going to miss having her around a lot.”

Other celebrities who felt the urge to share their love for Alley were Tim Allen, who called her a “wonderful gentle spirit,” and Steve Guttenberg, who said “every day [Alley] amazed me with her giving of the tangible and with her soulfulness. The world seems a little less full without Kirstie.”

Jamie Lee Curtis referred to Alley as to a lovely real-life mother bear and a brilliant comic foil in “@tvscreamqueens.” “She helped me get Christmas onesie gifts for my family. Even if we agreed to disagree on a few points, we still respected and connected with one another.”

Jackeé Harry shared one of Alley’s tweets in which she shares her admiration for Harry and wrote, “Kirstie Alley was an amazing talent who brought joy to many people, both on screen and with her kind and funny spirit. Whether you agreed or disagreed with her, Kirstie Alley was an outstanding talent who provided delight to many. Rest in peace, luv. You were definitely one-of-a-kind in every aspect.”

We are deeply saddened by Kirstie Alley’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family in these moments of grief.

Dog with massive tumor gets a second chance

Not everyone deserves to be called a pet owner. When opening the doors to your home to an animal, it should be forever. Sadly, that is not always the case and many people simply decide to leave their pet behind when they don’t feel like taking care of them any longer.

A dog named Hattie was surrended to a local shelter by her family. When she arrived to the shelter, the people working there were left in complete shock by the canine’s condition.

Namely, Hattie had a tumor so big that she could barely stand on her feet. The saddest thing of all was that she lived like that for two years without her owners doing anything to help her.

 “It may be the worst owner surrender we have taken in,” the shelter posted on Facebook.

When they got rid of her, the owners asked Hattie to be euthanized, but the staff knew they could provide her with a second chance for a better life and decided to take her to Dallas DogRRR instead, where she was to get the medical help she desperately needed.

The rescue then scheduled a surgery with Vet Ranch who said that despite the huge tumor, Hattie was in good spirits and was happy to be around humans.

“It’s just so sad to me that she’s used to just dealing with this,” Hattie’s vet said in a video shared by Vet Clinic. “She just goes day in and day out dealing with this like it’s a bean bag chair, even though she has this on her.”

Luckily, the surgery which lasted three hours and helped get rid of the “beast” was a huge success.

“She was 41 lbs and now only weighs 26!” Dr. Kerri wrote. “I can’t wait to see how her personality changes without carrying this burden anymore.”

Once the “bowling ball size tumor” was removed, Hattie was able to find a loving home.

“She was happily adopted, and once again, a lost and abandoned animal has found their happy ending,” the rescue shared on their website.

She loves her humans and loves her burden-free life all thanks to the shelter staff who didn’t give up on her.
