Loved by millions, Canadian-born singer Michael Bublé reached worldwide fame back in 2005 with his album It’s Time and his 2007 album Call Me Irresponsible, which reached number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the UK Albums Chart, the US Billboard 200, and several others.
Over the years, the Grammy Award winner has sold over 75 million records worldwide, but despite the enormous fame he enjoys, he has stayed grounded.
Michael is married to Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato with whom he has four children.
The couple’s son Noah, who will be 9 this year, has gone through an ordeal when he was diagnosed with liver cancer at the age of just 3.
At the time the singer heard the devastating news, he was promoting his ninth studio album Nobody But Me. It was shortly before performing at The One Show on BBC One in London.
“Three minutes before I came on, my wife texted and told me something was wrong,” he said during an interview with U.K.’s Evening Standard in July 2018, and added, “I just died.”
Luckily, Noah is now in remission, but Bublé described the ordeal as “the worst possible thing that you could hear as a parent, and as maybe a human being.”
“I much rather would have it have been me. Many times I wish that it had been,” the musician said and added that the experience made them even stronger as a family and gave them a new outlook at life.
On Noah’s eight birthday, Bublé shared an emotional post on Instagram, writing, “Today my hero turns 8. I’ve never met anyone as brave… I’ve never known anyone as kind or as good-hearted… and I’ll never truly be able to express how proud I am, or how deep and profound Mommy’s and my love is for you. You’ve blessed our lives in every way.”
Along with the touching message, the musician shared two photos of him and Noah over the years.
Bublé said that the prayers they received by fans, friends, and strangers helped them in their battle against the cancer as a family.

With Harry’s memoir being in the process of making, all eyes are on the royals yet again.
According to the publishing house Random House, the book which is about to be released in the weeks to come is eagerly anticipated by the media and the wide public.
In a press release, they stated, “Spare takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow and horror.
“With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”

When Harry announced his book, he said, “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born, but as the man, I have become. I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think.”
“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a first-hand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
One might say that what the book is about to reveal will further ruin the bridges between Harry and his family, and although no one knows with certainty what the prince will communicate, several outlets reported the book will reveal a number of bombshells.
As of now, the family, just like any other out there, is getting ready for the celebration of Christmas. During the years, they have celebrated the holiday with family gatherings hosted by the Queen herself. However, now that she passed away, it is the new monarch, King Charles, who would be hosting the Christmas celebration.
US Weekly reported that the Prince and Princess of Wales are keen on celebrating the most magical day of the year with their family at Sandringham. This is because they want to give their three children a yearly family tradition.
“It’s important to them that their kids share childhood traditions like their school pals,” the insider told Us Weekly in 2018.
“They’re going all-out to make it extra special.”
They, however, would certainly attend the formal dinner on Christmas Eve, often including Norfolk shrimp and lamb.

The morning, as per tradition, is reserved for a classic English breakfast consisting of eggs, sausages, bacon, and beans.
Following the traditional visit to St Mary Magdalene Church, the royals have their Christmas lunch, the main course of which being a roast turkey.
As mentioned before, this year’s celebration will be hosted by King Charles. At the same time, after 70 years, he would give the annual speech for the first time ever as King.
And as the public is eager to tune in, royal experts believe that Harry and Meghan won’t be among those who would listen to what the King has to say as they have already allegedly declined the invitation to spend Christmas with the royal family.

Another reason would be that according to experts, it was such a speech, delivered by the Queen in 2019, that was the final straw which made the Sussexes step down from their royal duties.
When the Queen addressed the nation during the speech in question, there were plenty of photos of each member of the family in the background, but not Meghan’s or Harry’s. This was interpreted by many as a sign that the Sussexes weren’t considered a fundamental part of the family. At the time, the couple had already started transitioning to a non-royal life. But ‘photo-gate’, as it was dubbed in a number of tabloids, was the final nail in the coffin.

Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand of the biography Finding Freedom claim that Harry and Meghan felt like they “had long been sidelined by the institution and were not a fundamental part of its future.”
“One didn’t have to look further than the family photos displayed during the Queen’s Speech on Christmas Day,” they wrote.
“Palace sources insisted that the photos were chosen to represent the direct line of succession, but for Harry and Meghan, it had been yet another sign that they needed to consider their own path.”

Allegedly, before the speech, Queen Elizabeth removed a photo of Harry and Meghan, but left one showing her and Prince Philip meeting Archie for the very first time.
“(The queen) loves all of her children and grandchildren, there’s no doubt about that,” he told Today. “But when it comes to ‘The Firm,’ as they call the royal family, she is all business,” author Christopher Andersen wrote.
“That’s why she wouldn’t allow Harry and Meghan to remain as kind of part-time royals on the terms that they wanted.”

Reality shows become more and more popular with each passing day. Some of these look for talented individuals to become part of the world of entertainment, others offer home makeovers and self improvement. But there are also those which feature everyday people doing everyday things, such as pawning items for money. One such show, which became extremely popular over the years, is Pawn Stars.
The show first aired over a decade ago and featured Richard “Old Man” Harrison and his family, who ran the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Sadly, Old Man passed away, but his son Rick Harrison took over both the shop and the show.
While on the show, Chumlee also expanded his own business Chumlee’s Candy Shop, where he sells candy, clothes and different accessories. At the same time, he managed to lose a significant amount of weight.
However, no matter how fun and loving he is, Chumlee isn’t your typical good boy as he has been getting in and out of trouble many times.
Recently, it has been reported that police was called to investigate a case of sexual assault at Chumlee’s home where they discovered 12 firearms, a kilo of marijuana, and a small quantity of methamphetamine.
According to reports, he’s planning on taking a plea deal on the charges of illegal drugs and weapon possession.
Chumlee will be given three years of probation and he must surrender the items the police found on his Las Vegas property during the raid.
According to Fox News, if he remains trouble-free during the time given the criminal prosecutions against him will be dismissed.
As of the reported sexual assault, no charges were filed against him although he was forced to pay $62,000 bail when detained.
David Chesnoff, Chumlee’s attourney, said in a statement that they would evaluate the findings and the legality of the search in court. “I and Austin Russel both have great faith in the justice system and are optimistic that the case will be decided properly.”
History Channel refused to comment on the situation.
According to sources close to the reality show star, he has a reputation for throwing ‘crazy’ parties.

Many times in life, we take things for granted and don’t realize how blessed we are for having food on our table, a roof over our head, and family and friends to turn to when we need it the most.
Sadly, we only start counting our blessings when we witness something bad taking place or when we lose something we once loved.
Daeyr Neely is just 8 years old, but he has gone through many struggles in life.
When he was still just a toddler, Daeyr’s mother lost her job and had a hard time making ends meet so they ended up on the streets. After many failed attempts, they finally managed to move into a shelter home with the intention of receiving help from the government to secure housing for them.
Getting used to the life at the shelter wasn’t easy for Daeyr. The change affected his performance at school and he felt insecure. “He started to have a little trouble in school, once we moved to the shelter. But I explained to him that we had to do this in order to get our own home,” his mother told Spot Light Stories.
It took quite some time, but the family finally received a home to call their own.
However, although they now had a house, they still missed almost all of the essentials, including beds, so Daeyr was forced to sleep on a pile of blankets.
NBC news via YouTube
When their story spread around the new neighborhood, staff at the organization Humble Home heard of this family and decided to step in. With their help, the house started feeling like home.
Among the rest, they got a bed for the young boy and his reaction was priceless and worth all the effort at decorating the place.
The video of Daeyr realizing he has a bed to sleep on is so touching, it brings tears of joy.
At first, he has his hands over his eyes, but once he sees his new room, he can’t hide his excitement and hugs the person standing nearest to him.
Sweet Daeyr received a bunch of toys and other furniture, something he hadn’t had until that very moment.

Now that they have a roof over their head, mom Dionna can focus on her nursing school.We truly hope she would be able to find a nice job and start her and her son’s life over.

The British royals make one of the most famous families in the entire world, and as such, it doesn’t come as a surprise that their personal lives are of great interest to the wide public and the media.
Finding themselves under the scrutiny of the media and the paparazzi was one of the reasons why Harry and Meghan decided to part from Britain and settle down in the sunny California. For one, Harry did all in his power to protect his wife and not let her go through the same ordeal his mother was forced to go through when it came to the media.
When they decided to step down from their royal duties, which angered many, especially Prince William and King Charles, the Sussexes decided to stop using their HRH titles. However, it looks like they didn’t do that, and the birth certificate of their second child, daughter Lilibet Diana, shows exactly that.
Lilibet Diana, who has been named after both her grandmother and her great-grandmother, was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, on 4 June 2021 at 11:40 PDT. While Lili’s name has never been formally styled with a title, at the time of her birth she was entitled to use the courtesy title “Lady” before her given name as the daughter of a duke.
Recently, The Sun reported that according to Lili’s birth certificate, which they got to, Harry designated himself as ‘His Royal Highness.’
He listed “Duke of Sussex” as his first name and “His Royal Highness” as his last name.
According to the newspaper, although Meghan and Harry said they won’t be using the HRH titles, they have never actually been taken away from them.
Meghan on the other hand decided not to follow any protocols and listed her full legal name.
Archie’s birth certificate
On her son Archie’s birth certificate, however, the former Suits star identified herself as “Rachel Meghan, Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Sussex.”

Marie Osmond, the only girl among the eight brothers, joined the group Osmond Brothers when she was just four. She, however, wasn’t a regular during the group’s television performances through the 1960s. At the age of 12, Marie started her solo career and had her first recording session which she later described as terrifying. “It was a full orchestra and rhythm section. I was the only Osmond girl, what if I failed?” she told Daily Mail in 2015. “So I threw up! Then I went in and sang.”
Marie, just like her mom, had many children. She was married three times, twice to the same husband, basketball player Steve Lyle Craig. The two had one child, son Stephen Jr. With second husband Brian Blosil, Marie had two biological and five adopted children, making her a mom of eight.
She and Brian lost son Michael to suicide in 2010. Her fans were surprised to see her getting back on stage just weeks after the tragic incident.
Speaking to Fox in 2013, she said, “It was so hard for me to get back on the stage two weeks after he died but I had to show my children that I chose to live. It was very hard and we talk about it, that’s the other thing. I know there are other families that won’t talk about it. Just as much as I lost a son, my children lost a brother and they still need to process it.”
Marie recalled the moment she learned of her son’s passing. She had just finished a performance at the Flamingo Las Vegas when she got a call from her security guard back home. He told her that some people from the Coroner’s office were there to see her.
“I knew it was Mike,” Marie told Oprah later in an interview.
Michael was one of the five children Marie and Brian adopted when they were still together.
Brian died by jumping from his eight-floor apartment. He struggled with drug addiction from the age of 12 but managed to stay away from it with the help of his family. In the note he wrote before taking his own life, he explained that he battled depression for some time.
“[He] was probably the easiest child of all my kids. He was so fun. And cute. And darling. It wasn’t until my son started using drugs that I saw him change.”
She recalled that he called her the day he died and sounded upset.
“It was the first time I heard him start to cry and say he was alone. That he had no friends. That he felt despair,” Marie revealed. “I told him: ‘Mike, I’m going to be there Monday, and it’s going to be okay.’ But depression doesn’t wait till Monday.”
Marie went on to speak of her own struggles with depression and said she managed to overcome it thanks to her age but “children don’t have that kind of age behind them… When they’re 18, everything [seems] hopeless.”
“I think there’s always ‘what ifs.’ What if I had just put him on a plane and said come be with me, or gone there?” I think if you live life in ‘what ifs’ … you stop living,” Marie said.
We are so sorry for Marie Osmond’s loss.
No matter how much time passes by, the grief over the loss of a child never fades away.

Over the years, martial artist Chuck Norris has enjoyed enormous popularity. He even became a synonym of strength and attracted millions of fans from all over the world.
He holds black belts in Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo and is the founder of the discipline Chun Kuk Do, an American hybrid martial arts style based on Traditional Taekwondo styles such as Tang Soo Do/Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo.
Besides being a huge part of Hollywood, he is also a family man and a father of five. He and his wife Gena O’Kelley, a former model, have been together for over 22 years. What we love about Norris is that he never misses a chance to remind Gena, as well as all of us, how much she means to him.
Back in 2013, Chuck lost his father to cancer and he’s been fighting the disease in his own way ever since by raising awareness and speaking openly about it. He has served as a proponent of early diagnosis and prevention of cancer and travels the country speaking to organizations about the significance of being examined regularly.
At the same time, Chuck’s everyday life is a struggle because of his wife’s illness.
According to the couple, it all started when Gena went for a routine MRI scan in 2013 and received an injection that is a standard process before someone enters MRI scan. At that same moment, she started experiencing tremors and burning all over her body. Her condition was hard to diagnose as doctors themselves have no idea what could have caused that awful burning sensation.

The biggest issue is that doctors’ were unable to diagnose her and had no idea what could have caused the symptoms which became worse and worse.
“Within hours after the first jab, I felt like my whole body was on fire — as if acid had been passed through it. The burning was isolated at first, but it just kept spreading… I just lay in bed on an IV for five months and had to have round-the-clock nursing care. Chuck slept beside me on the couch and never left. I prayed that I would live to raise my children,” she explained.
Fans of the actor shared messages of support.
“Nobody knows how much time you have left with your loved ones. So go for it, Chuck Norris. Enjoy every moment and make unforgettable memories with your partner. God bless you,” one person wrote.
“My prayers are with you, your wife, and your family. I’m hoping nothing gets in the way. Godspeed to everybody. Never give up. Please let her be okay, I beg God. Your wife is lucky to be with a man of such moral character. Good luck and take care,” another added.
“Chuck, I just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you and your gorgeous wife. I hope everything is going well for her and you! Realizing you are the good man you seem to be is amazing,” a third person commented.
As of Chuck’s health, he hasn’t been experiencing major physical issues. Rumors are, however, that back in 2017, he suffered two heart attacks after he collapsed at a casino hotel.
Gena watched in horror as medics hurriedly restarted Chuck’s heart with a defibrillator during the attack which caused his his heart and breathing to stop for several seconds before he was stabilized.
According to the source who shared the news with Radar, “This would have easily killed most men half his age, but Chuck is still at the peak of physical fitness.”
We wish Chuck and Gena end up winners in the fight for her health.

The name of Meghan Markle made plenty of headlines over the years and the media is still interested in every step she makes. From the moment she started dating Prince Harry until this very day all eyes have been on her. Many accuse her of dragging her husband away from his family, but there are also those who understand their decision to step down from their royal duties and settle down in California.
After Queen Elizabeth’s passing, Meghan was yet again a hot topic among royal experts. One of them, Today anchor Karl Stefanovic, who doesn’t hide the fact that he’s not fond of the former Suits star, implied that pictures of Meghan wiping away tears might be misleading.

As he covered the Queen’s funeral for Today, anchor Stefanovic made fun of Meghan for crying at the funeral.
“There’s been lots of photos around and interpretations of photos and reading into photos [meanings] that may or may not be true,” Stefanovic said.
“‘There’s a couple of Meghan, um, with a tear running down her face – apparently – and also even one of Princess Charlotte that everyone was saying she was crying, and we don’t know if it was true or not.”

Well, Stefanovic is far from alone in suggesting that Meghan’s crying wasn’t genuine.
Royal expert Angela Levin, who is the author of a number of books about the British royal family, says that it is not coincidence that Meghan shed tears from her left eye.
Levin recalled a 2014 interview involving Meghan Markle in which she could be heard saying that she can force herself to cry whenever she wishes. “Oh I can do that so well!” Meghan said when asked if she can cry ‘on demand.’
“Meghan managed an artificial tear or at least I think it was,” Angela Levein told TalkTV.
“She said the one thing she’s learned is how to cry out of her left eye. Count to four she said to the person and watch me and a tear came down. Not all actresses can make tears.”

Of course, there are also those who believe Meghan’s tears were genuine.
Jonathan Sacerdoti, royal commentator, referred to the accusations against Meghan as ‘unfair,’ while body language expert Adrianne Carter said it’s not easy to decided whether Meghan cried for real or not.
“Meghan certainly knows that tears would be spotted and photographed,” Carter said.
The former Suits star never answered back, she only spoke of her relationship with Queen Elizabeth and claimed the two were very close.
“There’s been such an outpouring of love and support. I’m really grateful that I was able to be with my husband to support him, especially during that time. What’s so beautiful is to look at the legacy that his grandmother was able to leave on so many fronts,” Meghan told Variety.

No matter the true reasons behind the Megxit which has shaken the grounds of the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals, royal experts believe that things are about to get better, or maybe not.
Apparently, Charles continued his mother’s tradition of gathering the entire family together for Christmas and Harry and Meghan were invited but they declined the invitation.
According to royal author Katie Nicholl, the Sussexes prefer to stay in sunny California.
“Christmas is always a really special time for the Royal Family where they traditionally come together,” Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight.

“That has always been at Sandringham and my understanding is that King Charles is going to follow his mother’s tradition and host a family Christmas at Sandringham this year.
“Harry and Meghan have been invited for Christmas but it’s our understanding that they won’t be coming over to the UK, they will be spending the holiday season in California.”
