Pierce Brosnan opens up about his wife’s passing

Charming Pierce Brosnan, best known for portraying agent 007, has had quite a career in the film industry. Landing the ultimate macho role of James Bond marked his professional life, but at the time he was about to take off with his first box office hit, Brosnan suffered a personal tragedy that changed his life forever. His wife and great love of his life, actress Cassandra Harris, lost her life to ovarian cancer.

Brosnan and Harris met back in 1977 while she was still married to husband Dermot Harris, with whom she had two children, Chris and Charlotte.

Brosnan was said to have been smitten by Harris’ charm and beauty. She was five years his senior, but he fell for her instantly and the two married five years later. After the passing of Harris’ first husband, Brosnan officially adopted her two children. The couple went on to have a child on their own, son Sean.

“We just clicked as a family,” the actor once revealed. “To begin with I was Pierce, then I was Daddy Pierce, and then I just became Dad. Charlotte and Chris have just been amazing in my life.”

When Sean was welcomed into the world, the family seemed complete. But then, in 1987, Harris received the news of the devastating diagnosis. She battled cancer for four years before passing away.

Brosnan recalled that the night he lost his wife was the longest of his life.

“I was in a helpless state of…confusion and anger. She was comforting me,” he told People as he opened up of the tragic loss he suffered.

“She has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am.

“She’s forever embedded in every fibre of my being. She’s there with me every day. I was so blessed to have met someone like that.”

Years after Harris left this world, Brosnan suffered yet another heartbreak when his adopted daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with the same form of cancer as her mother. She too passed away, leaving behind her two children and a husband. This loss brought back many bitter memories for Brosnan who was grief-stricken.

“Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl. We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon,” the actor said in a statement.

Today, Brosnan is married to wife Keely Smith with whom he has two children.

“I don’t look at the cup as half full, believe me. The dark, melancholy Irish dog sits beside me from time to time,” he told Esquire.

“To watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that kind of sorrow becomes an indelible part of your psyche.”

Brosnan says it was Smith who helped him move on with “a strength I wouldn’t be able to live without.”

“I have experienced both being a widower and finding love again. Therefore, I am aware that there is hope and that you must learn to move on,” Brosnan previously told the

We are so very sorry Pierce Brosnan was forced to endure the loss of people he loved unconditionally.

Jere Burns remains tight-lipped on whether or not he’s had plastic surgery

Sitcom Dear John was a huge thing when it first aired back in 1988 and during the years that followed. The series followed the life of John, a divorcee who lost his house to his ex-wife and ended up into an apartment in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens where he joined the One-To-One Club, a group of people who are divorced and single.

Actor Jere Burns played the role of Kirk Morris, a cocky, self-styled ladies’ man who would have probably been dubbed ‘creep’ if the series was filmed nowadays.

Dear John was Burns’ big breakthrough, and his career only went upwards throughout the years.

The truth is that Burns into sports during hight school and while at university but acting ‘interfered’ with his plans of becoming an athlete after he joined the drama program at the private high school in Cambridge he attended.

He was into acting and relocated to Manhattan to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts – but the aspiring actor left after a year and a half. At the time, he was 25 and his girlfriend, whom he later married, was pregnant.

Then, just as he was about to give up acting for good, a friend of his offered him a place at the New York Shakespeare Festival. There, Burns got the chance to closely follow the work of two aspiring actors who later made it big in the film industry, John Malkovich and Gary Sinise.

Finally, in 1988, Burns was casted for the role of sleazy Kirk Morris. The show was a huge success and Burns became a household name.

Speaking of his celeb status, Burns said in 1990, “People say, ‘Is it a pain in the neck that people recognize you in the streets?’ No, it’s flattering. It’s gratifying. That’s not why I do what I do, but it’s a nice byproduct. Trying to affect people, trying to make a difference in some way – touch people. It seems a little cliched to say that when you’re in a half-hour sitcom and playing a guy like I play, but that’s the way I view it.”

What followed were some more successful projects, such as his role in the hit series Breaking Bad, where he portrayed the group leader for a Narcotics Anonymous meeting as a part of a twelve-step program, which main character Jesse Pinkman attended.

“Breaking Bad was so well written that you said exactly what was on the page. There was no room for any kind of improvisation or even fussing with the words. That’s not the way they, I think they were open to it, but there was no need for me to change a thing. I read exactly what was on the page every time I worked,” he told Yahoo.

Most recently, the Massachusetts-born actor appeared in Justified and Angie Tribeca and had a guest-starring role in an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.

Burns was married three times and has four children.

However, besides his successful career in the industry of film, Burns’ name has been found in magazines for another reason. Apparently, people are convinced he went under the knife and had a number of procedures. In fact, they claim he went too far.

During his lengthy interview with Kevin Pollack, Jere was asked if he had worked with country singer Kenny Rogers. “I’m gonna say it was before the eye job?” Pollak asked. Burns then decided to make a joke about himself and said, “Listen, I think it looks natural. Are you kidding, what?” before he started playing around with his face.

Burns tends to keep his life private and.

We love all the roles this actor treated us with over the years, and we believe he looks awesome at 67.

“I’m now a single mother with three adopted sons, and it has been the great privilege of my life to raise them,” she shared with Vogue.

Years after leaving their show, Michael opens up about his relationship with Kelly Ripa

Michael Strahan, who had an impressive career as the defensive end for the New York Giants, turned to television upon retiring from playing football.

The Houston Texas native has become a media personality, appearing as a football analyst on Fox NFL Sunday before co-hosting the syndicated morning talk show Live! with Kelly and Michael. Currently, he’s the host of Good Morning America, and turns out that his departure from Kelly Ripa was a messy one.

When he decided to leave Live! with Kelly and Michael, Ripa was so shocked that she took a week-long break from the show to collect herself.

“I needed a couple of days to gather my thoughts; after 26 years with this company, I earned the right,” Ripa told her audience. “(This) started a much greater conversation about communication, and consideration, and most importantly respect in the workplace … apologies have been made.”

Together with Ripa, Strahan won a Daytime Emmy twice for “Outstanding Talk Show Host” during his tenure on the show and their ratings were just going higher and higher.

Now, six years after he left the show, Strahan revealed all about his relationship with Ripa, admitting they don’t really talk to each other any longer. According to him, their relationship never recovered after he left the show. “I learned through all that went down with that, you can’t convince people to like you,” he said in his interview for Time. “I haven’t spoken to her in a long time.”

In the past, Strahan dropped hints that things between him and Ripa weren’t smooth behind the stage while they worked together.

“I remained the same person I was from Day 1. One thing I will not do is alter my attitude for somebody else’s. I learned so much from Kelly, so much from (executive producer) Michael Gelman. When it was time to go, it was time to go. Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught up,” he revealed in an interview with Deadline in the past.

Actress Jane Fonda announces sad news concerning her health

Actress, former model, and climate activist Jane Fonda revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer. The 84-year-old Oscar winner took to Instagram to share with her fans that she had started chemo treatments six months ago and is dealing well.

“So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments,” the Grace and Frankie star wrote in her Instagram post. “This is a very treatable cancer,” she added, “so I feel very lucky.”

She further acknowledged her ‘lucky’ position because as she said, she realizes she’s privileged when it comes to having access to the best doctors and treatments. “I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it’s painful, that I am privileged in this,” she wrote.

“Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right,” the actress added.

“Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me,” she wrote. “One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one’s community so that we are not alone. And the cancer, along with my age – almost 85 – definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities.”

As explained by the Mayo Clinic, “Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in your lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system. In non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, white blood cells called lymphocytes grow abnormally and can form growths (tumors) throughout the body.”

Fellow celebs and friends of Fonda took to social media to share their love and support.

Debra Messing commented: “Sending you healing light, love and strength.”

Alyssa Milano wrote, “Wishing you more strength than you need and more love than you can bear. Call me if you need anything. Always here. Always.”

Diane Keaton shared her love and admiration, writing, “We love you, Jane. You are my hero. You are a warrior. All of my life I have been in awe of all that you do. I will continue to admire the crusader you have always been and always will be.”

This isn’t the first time Fonda to be battling cancer. Back in 2010, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in 2018, she had a growth removed from her lips.

We wish Jane Fonda end up a winner and beat cancer again.

Man photographed mowing ex-wife’s lawn 28-years after getting divorced

When two people are in love and decide to tie the knot, they believe it’s forever. But life is full of surprises and sometimes things happen, and we are not powerful to change the fact that after some time married couples are fed up with everything going on between them and decide to put an end of the marriage. And when there is a divorce involved in the life of two people, it usually affects both in a negative way. Most divorces are followed by arguing, fighting over the custody, and even paying lots of money to lawyers. However, it’s not unusual for two divorced people to remain friends after they split. This happens when both the exes are reasonable people who put their children’s needs before their own. This is the case with Codie McPhate’s parents. Even 28 years after their separation, Codie’s father still mows his ex-wife’s lawn. And that is really something special. Codie believes what her father is showing that no matter what happened between the two, he still cares for the mother of his daughter.
‘“My mom has bad knees, and my step dad works out of town. When my younger siblings questioned, ‘Why is your dad mowing moms lawn?’ I told them, ‘Because, she needed help, and he knew she couldn’t get out here to do it, so he did,’”
The girl says that besides their decision not to be together any longer, her parents have always vowed to “choose to be adults and treat each other with respect and compassion.” Codie’s parents remarried, but that didn’t prevent them staying in touch. The daughter is getting along with her stepparents and says it’s amazing how the four of them respect each other and co-parent perfectly.
‘“This is how lucky I am to have 4 parents who respect each other, and know that at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is showing your children (Even ones that are 32 years old) how to treat people, and how to love your family, no matter how it came together,”
Codie LaChelle McPhate via Facebook
We live in a world where many consider being divorced as the greatest sin, not understanding that sometimes that’s the best-case scenario. There are couples like the McPhate’s who prove these people wrong and are a perfect example of how things can work out when you are reasonable and understanding. As they say, good divorce is better than bad marriage, and when a relationship between two people is broken, choosing a different path is the most reasonable decision. Codie’s parents teach us that when this happens, children should be taught that it’s not always a bad thing. Regarding her father’s act of kindness, the girl posted “He wants everyone to know ‘I’m no saint.’ He just wants to show others that you don’t need to act like an angelic pastor on lent, but that we should all choose kindness whenever we can.” Please SHARE this story with your family and friends on Facebook.

Melania Trump drops a hint at return as First Lady in first interview since leaving the White House

The period during which Donald Trump was the head of the country was filled with plenty of controversy. He, however, definitely left mark in American history.

When he left the White House, it was widely reported that his wife, Melania Trump was relieved. Apparently, she had it enough of the life as a First Lady and rumors were she wasn’t happy with the fact that her husband entered another political battle for president. Back in 2020, while Trump was yet in the race to secure a second term, a source told CNN that Melania “just wants to go home.” When Trump announced he would be running for president yet again in 2024, that same source said, “that might not go over well”.

Trump lost the elections and Jo Biden took his place, but as most of us would agree, Biden will never steal the spotlight the way Trump did.

In recent time, Donald Trump neither confirmed nor denied if he will be running for re-election in 2024, and there is a lot of space for interpretation of his recent appearances at political rallies at different countries.

In an interview for Fox & Friends, Melania dropped a hint regarding her husband’s future political plans, although it is highly unlikely that we will ever hear a straightforward answer to the question of whether Trump will try to secure for himself the most powerful seat in the world.

In the interview, Melania was to reveal her initiative to celebrate foster care month. She said her plan was to help young adults in foster care to attend college. She even Facetimed one of the recipients of a scholarship, Michael Whitesman, who thanked her for her generosity, to which Melania replied, “Study hard and get good grades.” The young man then promised, “I will, I got you, straight A’s all the way.”

However, that wasn’t all she talked about. Among the rest, the former First Lady spoke of her exclusion from the cover of Vogue Magazine, and the current administration leading the country.

“I think it’s sad to see what’s going on, if you really look deeply into it,” she told Hegseth.

“I think a lot of people are struggling and suffering and what is going on around the world as well. So it’s very sad to see and I hope it changes fast.”

Asked about what she thinks of her husband’s achievements during his years of presidency, she said, “I think we achieved a lot in four years of the Trump administration.” For the possibility of her husband running again, gorgeous Melania answered, “Never say never,” leaving many both stunned and puzzled.

Trump himself has also dropped hints that he is ready to enter a lengthy election campaign as he took the stage at the Austin Convention Center in Texas some time ago as part of his American Freedom Tour, and urged Republicans to get ready to “take back” the United States when the next election rolls around.

Joined by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump told the crowd, “I ask you to get ready to work, get ready to fight, get ready to win — and win like never before.

“Together, we will take back the House, we will take the Senate, and we will take back our country.”

We are yet to see what the future holds for the Trumps when it comes to their life in politics.
