Becoming a celebrity with millions of fans is what most children dream of, but as they get older, they realize that’s not an easy thing to do and that only few achieve this goal. The truth is, however, that you will never know if you are destined to reach for the stars unless you try.
The stage of one of the most popular music shows, Britain’s Got Talent, has seen it all. From youngsters, to people who never believed they would ever be given the chance to show the world what they can do.
This time, the judges were left speechless by the children’s choir from the Flakefleet Primary school, and it’s safe to say it was a performance none of them could forget any time soon.
To everyone’s surprise, the elementary school children chose one of the most electrifying songs of the 20th century, Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now, which serves as a testament to Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals.
The choir showed no stage fright and based on their confidence it felt like they had been performing for years. Their enthusiasm was infectious and made everyone’s day. Each of the members of the group excelled their part to perfection and that put a huge smile on everyone’s face.
The powerful performance earned the children a Golden Buzzer from judge David Williams, making them the first to receive this honor in Britain’s Got Talent 2018.
This is something you don’t want to miss. Take a look at the performance in the video below.

When people believe they are entitled to other people’s money and assets, a number of issues arise, especially if members of a family are involved.
A woman shared a story on Reddit of how her in-laws kept ‘forgetting’ their wallets at home after she inherited money from her mother.
The woman, Julia, explained that her mom wasn’t very rich but following her passing, she left everything she had to her daughter. What’s most, the mom was always very supportive of Julia, even when she decided to drop out of law school. So, after she died, Julia talked to her husband, David, and the two made a decision to put some of the money into their dream house and use the rest for Julia to continue her studies, which was a huge wish of her late mom.
Sadly, her in-laws seemed to have another plan of how those money should be spend.

“While David and I are saving up for our home, we’ve been renting a place with David’s parents. And they had a very different interpretation of the situation — somehow, they were convinced that I had become a millionaire overnight, yet they never explicitly mentioned the money,” Julia explained, adding that her mother and father-in-law found a way to make her spend the money.

Namely, Julia explained that the family enjoyed dining out and visiting different restaurants where they could taste different cuisines.
“Restaurant hopping will be our thing until we can travel to places,” David always joked.
But, ever since the inheritance came in, every restaurant outing turned into a game of “wallet roulette,” and guess who had always needed to pay the bill?
Apparently, as they wanted her to cover the bill every time, the in-laws pretended to have forgotten their wallets at home.
One Friday, however, as the four were getting ready to go out, Julia spotted her in-laws wallets resting on the table next to the door.

“I think your parents forgot their wallets,” she told her husband, standing up.
“Don’t they always?” he asked. “Here, put them into your bag.”
The family then went to a Chinese restaurant and Julia enjoyed the Chinese food she craved the entire week, while David had spring rolls.
“Then, as the bill arrived, I, with a feigned innocence, claimed that I had forgotten my bank card at home. The in-laws, with their trademark smiles put in place, mirrored by forgetfulness and looked to David,” Julia explained.

But at that moment, David intervened and said, “Don’t worry. I put your wallets in Julia’s bag as we left the house. You can cover dinner this time.”
“The shift in the room was palpable. You could almost hear the gears grinding to a halt as the reality of the situation sank in for my in-laws,” Julia wrote.
She further explained that she didn’t try to take advantage of them, but they needed to become aware that Julia and David were saving money for a home, a home where his parents would also move in because David felt like it was upon him to take care of them. And yet, they never tried to help their son and daughter-in-law save up.
After a moments of silence, the father-in-law stretched his arm to take his wallet. He not only covered the bill, but he also left a huge tip to the waiter, as though he was trying to save face.

“Thanks, Dad,” David said. “You know, we’ve got to share the responsibility of family dinner. Surely, you cannot expect to cash in on Julia’s inheritance every time we go out. She has plans for that money, and you must respect it.”
Julia then grabbed David’s hand beneath the table, feeling seen and appreciated.
“I’ve got it next time,” the mother-in-law chirped.
In the weeks that followed, the in-laws never forgot their wallets again, but as David said, they all needed to take responsibility and pay for the bill when it’s their turn.

The in-laws learned a thing or two about responsibility. And not only that, but the mother-in-law started cooking without Julia asking her to because she knows her daughter-in-law studies after work.

A 29-year-old man took to Reddit to ask about a delicate situation he found himself in, but he got called out for what he did behind his wife’s back.
He started his story explaining that he and his wife, who is black, tied the knot after dating for around a year. One of the reasons why they got married that soon was that she got pregnant.
Their union functioned perfectly and the two were very happy together, being convinced they did the right thing.
Things, however, changed when their son was born.

Just to note, the man posted the story after the couple already welcomed two children together, the son, who was five at the time, and a daughter, who was three.
Following his daughter’s arrival into the world, the man started having certain doubts, but not about the baby girl but about his son. As he explained, his son was much darker than his wife while the daughter was whiter than her mother. This raised some questions not only at the man but also at those around him, including his family and friends.
“He is noticeably darker than my wife,” the man posted.

However, although he had doubts, he loved his son and decided to trust his wife, although he someone believed that there was a chance that the boy wasn’t his.
His doubts became bigger upon the arrival of the couple’s daughter who was whiter and had blue eyes. What’s most, he noticed that his part of the family bonded with his daughter faster than they did with his son.
“I never realized how powerful it is to know a child is yours,” the man wrote among the rest.
Despite all this, he never let his wife or his son learn of his doubts. According to him, he treated both his children equally.

Soon after, he started feeling resentment against his son. He wrote, “It felt unfair that I had to care for someone else’s child. I also began to resent my wife because I felt she had betrayed me,” and then confessed, “I finally got a paternity test in secret.”
The test results showed that the boy was his. The man was relieved and the relationship between him and his wife improved significantly, although she was not even aware of her husband’s doubts or the DNA test.
They even talked about having a third child.

Everything seemed to fall into place for the man, but he couldn’t live with the fact that he took the test behind his wife’s back. So, after thinking about it long and hard, he decided to confess her because he believed she would understand his reasons for doing such a thing.
Instead, his wife lost it and asked him if he’d doubted their daughter too; but when he said he didn’t, she called him a racist.

The man denied being racist and shared how he didn’t prefer his daughter because of her “whiter features” but because he knew she was his child because of the resemblance to him. His wife, however, accused him of having made their son feel unloved for years and for no reason, but he disagreed, saying he’d treated the boy like his own despite his doubts.
Redditors agreed that what he did was totally wrong and said his wife didn’t overreact but she had the right to be mad at him. Many even deserved him being called racist.
One user wrote his skin crawled at the mention that the man’s family didn’t bond with the boy because he was darker.
Another one added that the man should pray his son never finds out what he did.

Three blondes were sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with the lines in the water.
A game warden came up behind them, tapped one on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, ladies, I’d like to see your fishing licenses.”
“We don’t have any,” replied the first blonde.
“Well, if you’re going to fish, you need fishing licenses.”

“But officer,” replied the second blonde, “we aren’t fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and we’re collecting debris off the bottom of the river.”
The warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were magnets tied on the end of each line.
“Well, I know of no law against it,” said the warden, “take all the debris you want.” And with that, he left.

As soon as he was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing hysterically.
“What a dumb cop,” the second blonde said to the other two, “doesn’t he know that there are steel head trout in this river?!”

Enhancing one’s appearance with the help of plastic surgeries isn’t anything new. In fact, many people go under the knife when they are not satisfied with their looks, but the truth is that this phenomenon is most present in the world of celebrities, especially Hollywood. The reason why is that most of them need to look impeccable for the sake of landing roles and have their careers going.
One of the celebs which sought eternal youth and beauty but regretted the decision of turning to plastic surgeries is Melanie Griffith. This Hollywood diva, who’s the daughter of famed actress Tippi Hedren and the mother of Dakota Johnston, opened up about her life, her divorce, and the effect plastic surgeries had on her life and her career.
Back in 2017, in an exclusive interview with Porter magazine, Griffith revealed that she wasn’t aware how much her looks changed until people started talking about it.
“No, I didn’t [realize] until people started saying, ‘Oh my god, what has she done?!’ I was so hurt,” Griffith said. “I went to a different doctor, and he started dissolving all of this s**t that this other woman doctor had put in. Hopefully, I look more normal now.”
However, what affected her appearance weren’t the surgeries only. The actress also opened up of her addiction with alcohol and how that affected the lives of her three children.
“I was a totally functioning mom,” she said. “I wasn’t like a drunk-on-the-floor, out-of-it person, I didn’t do some things I probably should have done but, mostly, I was there for my kids. They had a sort of privileged gypsy life.”
Griffith sought professional help and checked into rehab three times throughout her life, in 1988, 2000, and then in 2009.
Recently, paparazzi photos of her appeared online and fans are ‘shocked’ with the way she looks.
But at the end of the day, what matters most is for a person to accept themselves and Griffith did just that.

Although the times we live in are modern and we’ve made a huge progress when it comes to the equality of pays between men and women, there are still some who believe that women don’t deserve to be paid more.
A woman took to Reddit to share a story of how her fiance’s behavior towards her changed after she got a 30% salary increase.
“I (F33) have been engaged to my fiance (M37) for 5 months. We don’t share finance because that’s what he wants. I got a raise on my salary. Now I earn 30% more than he does and I noticed that he’s been using this to ask me to pay for him and his friends. Whenever I say “no” or “why should I pay for this?” he’d respond with “the 30% that’s why.” He acts as if the 30% is unfair or that I’m not deserving of it,” the woman started her post.
What’s most, he tricked her to spend money on him and his friends before, and she was now determined to not let that happen again. “Several times he has tricked me to pay for his and his friend’s meals by asking me publicly. Let me say that I’m too nice to say ‘no,’ I hate confrontation especially when we’re at a public place like a restaurant so I just grin and pay. Last Tuesday, he asked me to join him and his buddies for dinner. I told him from the start I wasn’t paying for their food and he shouldn’t expect me to. He said he ‘got this’ and ‘no worries.’”
However, in the middle of their meal, he whispered to her that she should cover the bill for the night. “We got to the restaurant. Met his friends, ordered food. And in the middle of the meal he leaned in and whispered that I would be paying for everything he and his friends ordered. I got so mad I whispered back “noooo” but he probably relied on me not causing a scene in public and in front of his friends. He said ‘you have enough money you could pay for everyone’s food, 30% remember?’”
Pexel
“I was fuming inside. Instead of reacting negatively and losing my temper, I waited til the bills arrived (they were already split from the start when we first ordered) I paid for mine then I excused myself to the restroom. I then sneaked out from there, got into my car and went home.”
Since she didn’t return to the table, her fiance started calling her and texting her. “I started getting phone calls from my fiance then texts asking where I was. I texted back saying I didn’t appreciate how he put me in this situation and basically tricking me into paying for his and his friends food and I told him I went home then stopped replying.”
When he got home, the two had a heated argument.
Pexel
“An hour later he came and started yelling at me calling me selfish, irrational, cheapskate and childish for sneaking out like that and leaving him stuck with a bill he could not pay (He had to call his brother for help). We had a loud argument then he walked out. His friends didn’t speak to me on this but he told me they’re disappointed in my behavior and are telling him to take time and ‘reflect’ on the type of woman he’s gonna be married to.”

A comedy genius? Roseanne Barr has to be one of the names that comes to mind.
Barr was the central figure in Roseanne, the American television sitcom created by Matt Williams which aired on ABC from October 18, 1988, to May 20, 1997. The show reached huge success and people seemed to have missed the life of the Conner family who lived in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois, so the story about the working-class American family millions of people fell for got renewed from March 27, 2018, to May 22, 2018.
The reason ABC decided to reverse the decision of the show’s renewal and canceled Roseanne after initially announcing they would release an 11th season of 13 episodes were Barr’s comments about former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett.
In a tweet, Barr compared Jarrett to the “Planet of the Apes” movies. Amid fierce backlash, the actress claimed she didn’t know Valerie was Black and said she was on Ambien at the time, therefore not thinking clearly.
Barr’s series of racist and Islamophobic comments on Twitter were described by the network’s president as “abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values.”
On June 21, 2018, ABC announced plans to re-tool the show as a spin-off continuation involving the Conner family without Roseanne, titled The Conners. The show is still on air.
Speaking of the decision to write her character off, Barr said of the network, “Oh my God, they just hated me so badly. I had never known that they hated me like that.
“They hate me because I have talent, because I have an opinion. Even though ‘Roseanne’ became their number one show, they’d rather not have a number one show.”
Barr accused ABC of denying her a chance to apologize for her comments.
“I’m the only person who’s lost everything, whose life’s work was stolen, stolen by people who I thought loved me. And there was silence,” she told the Times. “There was no one in Hollywood really defending me publicly, except for Mo’nique, who is a brave, close, dear friend.”
She further said that her colleagues, Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K weren’t given the same harsh treatment she received. Back in 2017, Louis admitted to performing sexual acts in front of female colleagues while Dave faced backlash for making transphobic jokes in a Netflix special. Both comedians won Grammys following the incidents in question.
“They didn’t do it to anyone else in Hollywood, although they always throw in Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. Well, Louis C.K. did lose everything, but he committed an actual [offense],” Barr said.
Almost six years after Roseanne was canceled, the actress told Los Angeles Times, “I’ve survived. I’ve come out on the other side of it, finally. But it was a witch-burning. And it was terrifying. It was.”
She has also lost contact with a number of colleagues and co-workers.
“I can’t know what they think or feel. I don’t know why they did what they did. I’m not like them. I realized that. I can’t believe what they did, with all the pain that I went through to bring the show back. And it didn’t faze them to murder my character, either,” she shared.
But Barr says she’s not bitter. This year, she’s returning on TV with a new comedy special for Fox Nation. In a preview of the special, she asks the crowd, “Has anyone else here been fired recently?”
