Actor John Beasley of ‘Everwood’ has died aged 79

Actor John Beasley, a late bloomer best known for his roles in the films The Apostle, Rudy and The Sum of All Fears, and the series Everwood has died aged 79.

Beasley passed away before making his Broadway debut in The Notebook.

Until his mid-40s, Beasley worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. He only pursued a career in the film industry later on.

“I knew those things would come, even when I was in college,” he told American Theatre last year. “I dropped out early because I didn’t feel I really needed a college degree to pursue what I wanted to do in life. Bottom line, I worked.

“To be a working artist is the highest calling, and I appreciate wherever it takes me,” he said. “If I never got to Broadway, I would still feel I’ve had a pretty successful career.”

Beasley died in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, and according to his son, before his passing, he had undergone tests on his liver, but things turned for the worse for the actor.

The news of his passing was shared on Facebook by Beasley’s son Mike W Beasley, on Wednesday May 31.

“Man… You know this is a part of life… But that doesn’t make it any easier.”

He continued: “I lost my best friend today. They say you shouldn’t ever meet your heroes because they don’t turn out to be who you thought they were. That is so wrong.

“My hero was my father. Thank you for everything. I hope I made you proud. Love you more.”

The late actor established the John Beasley Theater and Workshop in Omaha and ran it for 13 years. “We changed the lives of a lot of people just through the theater,” he said in 2020.

He made his final acting appearance in 2022’s Firestarter remake.

Beasley is survived by his wife of 58 years, Judy, his two sons, Michael and Tyrone, and his six grandchildren, including Malik Beasley, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Rest in peace, John Beasley.

Elizabeth Taylor’s granddaughter is her late grandma’s reincarnation

By

Monica Pop

-

Besides being one of the most famous actors that have ever walked this Earth, stunning Elizabeth Taylor was also a mother, a grandmother, and a great-gradmother.

Throughout her life, the Cleopatra star was married eight times to seven different people. She and Richard Burton tied the knot twice.

He love life was dubbed scandalous, to say the least, but out of all her marriages, she welcomed four children, Michael Wilding Jr., Chris Wilding, Liza Todd, and Maria Burton, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Most of her grandchildren resemble their famous grandmother. They are certainly happy they inherited part of their grandmother’s beauty, which has been described over the years as everlasting.

Taylor passed away in 2011, six weeks after a congestive heart failure admission at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Let’s take a look at what her grandchildren do nowadays.

Laela Wilding is the daughter of Elizabeth’s first child, Michael Wilding Jr. She resides in Portland, Oregon, and works as a graphic designer and a yoga instructor.

When she thinks of her grandma, Laela always speaks with plenty of love. ”She was that person who saw injustice and started talking about it and never stopped talking about it,” Laela told Today about Taylor in 2021.

Laela also recalled that her grandma loved doing her grandchildren’s hair cuts and was very good at it. “She would look at you with a sidelong glance and say, ‘Oh honey get me the scissors.’ And she would start with a little snip here a little snip there. She was very artistic. She had a great eye.”

Many agree that Laela is a spitting image of the actress.

Laela Wilding’s sister Naomi deLuce Wilding, who was born in 1976, is five years younger. Naomi and her husband, Anthony Gran, launched the Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles in 2014 where Natali currently works.

“She had an idea that she was responsible for raising the younger generations in the family, you know,” Naomi said about her grandmother. “It was important to her that she instilled those values in us, too.”

”I remember sitting on the floor of her dressing room and just watching her get ready — just [watching] this sort of transformation unfold. Just because somebody is a superstar doesn’t also mean that they can’t be a loving, squishy, delicious grandma who was always welcoming us in,” Naomi told Today.

Caleb Wilding is Taylor’s first grandson who got adopted by her son Chris and his wife Aileen Getty following numerous unsuccessful pregnancies. Although he comes from a famous family, Caleb tends to stay out of the spotlight. What is known about him is that he’s a motorbike enthusiast.

Andrew Wilding, Taylor’s second grandson, was born in 1984. Unlike his brother Caleb, Andrew followed into his grandmother’s footsteps and pursued a career in the entertainment industry.

Tarquin Wilding, the half-brother of Laela and Naomi, born in 1989, is also part of the entertainment industry. Tarquin is best known for roles in the films Silent But Deadly (2012), Shameless (2011), and In Between (2009).

He describes himself as an aspiring filmmaker who enjoys motorcycles and dogs. Just like many of Elizabeth Taylor’s grandchildren, Tarquin also participates with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

”My grandmother was a total badass! I can’t help but be inspired by her unbreakable courage, and boundless generosity. I want to continue her legacy, and be a part of the fight towards securing a better future for those living with HIV/ AIDS, and to one day see an AIDS free generation!”

Lowell Wilding is the second child of Christopher Wilding and Margaret Carlton. He’s born in 1991 and is currently working on the Elizabeth Taylor Archive.

“I was always in total awe of the good my grandmother was able to accomplish in her lifetime. She could so easily have done nothing, like so many others. Instead she fought, she cared, and she worked for people suffering with HIV/AIDS. I hope to do whatever I can to preserve and continue that legacy,” he said.

Quinn Tivey is the son of Liza. He attended the University of Southern California to study film, and he also has an MFA from the School of Visual Arts.

”I always knew her as grandma, but in her real life, she was still larger than life,” he said of Taylor in 2019, according to The Morning Show. ”She was an amazing matriarch.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Quinn said, “We would lay in bed together, watching movies, chatting — she would give me advice. Those are some of the ways I remember her most.” Quinn said.

Taylor’s ninth grandchild is Rhys Tivey. He currently performs as a trumpeter, singer, and songwriter.

”Without concern for color, culture, or class, my grandmother would acknowledge the soul of every person she met and treat them with great respect. And yet she was never afraid to call out BS if she picked up on it. To reach the level of power and success she did and maintain a genuine concern for others’ wellbeing is truly admirable, and her legacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS embodies that humanitarian passion. Every day, I am inspired by the encouragement she gave me and so many other people,” Rhys says.

Elizabeth Carson isn’t Taylor’s actual granddaughter, but the daughter of Elizabeth’s adoptive daughter, Maria Burton.

”For my junior and senior prom, she did my hair and makeup,” Elizabeth told Town & Country. “Once, while we were discussing makeup, I told her we should go to Sephora, which turned out to be a terrible idea. We had fun for the first 15 minutes, but then she was recognized, and we quickly had to be escorted out.”

The youngest of the late actress’ grandchildren is Richard McKeown, Maria Barton’s son. He lives out of the spotlight and not much is known about him.

One thing is certain, all of Elizabeth Taylor’s grandchildren do their best to keep their grandmother’s legacy alive, mostly through her foundations.

Mangy stray cat stuns foster mom when he’s finally able to open his eyes

By

Monica Pop

-

When a man from southeast Florida spotted a stray cat eating from the bawl of his pet, he approached closer to see who the little “thief” is. As he realized the cat was all covered in mange and was barely blind because of the severity of its condition, he was quick to take a photo and post it on the social media in hopes of reaching someone who could provide the stray animal with some help.

Thankfully, the man’s post was re-shared and reached just to the right person.

When Carmen Morales Weinberg, the founder of the local rescue group Animal Friends Project stumbled upon the post, she knew exactly what to do.

Carmen contacted the man, and soon, the cat was in her care.

She took the cat to the vet where she was told that the poor animal not only had severe case of mange, but it was also malnourished and dehydrated.

The cat, which was later named Cotton, could sense Carmen was there to help.

In order to give Cotton time to recover, Carmen opened the doors to her home to him.

“Cotton stayed hunched over for days and days and seemed very uncomfortable,” Carmen said, but he managed to adjust to his new life. He even grew his fur back and started resembling a healthy cat.

When he could finally open his eyes fully, he had a big surprise for the woman who gave him a new lease of life. Namely, Cotton had heterochromia iridum, a condition that results in different-colored irises. One of his was blue, and the other one green.

This condition can also affect humans and dogs, but when it comes to cats, its mainly found in felines with white fur.

The transformation of Cotton is yet another example of the difference love and affection do.

Bruce Willis’ wife reveals the truth about his dementia with 4 cold words – and it’s as we feared

By

Monica Pop

-

It’s been a year since Bruce Willis stepped down from acting. The Die Hard star had a hard time remembering the lines and then his health declined rapidly. His family announced that he was retiring due to aphasia, a condition which affects one’s ability to communicate.

Bruce withdrew from from the spotlight, and later on, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.

“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.

“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”

His wife Emma Heming is Bruce’s caretaker, although she gets help from the rest of the family, including the actor’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, who was said to have moved in with Emma and Bruce.

Recently, Emma opened up about her husband’s condition and his life during an appearance on the Today show for World Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week.

Asked if her husband has been aware of his condition, she said, “It’s hard to know.”

“Dementia is hard. It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. That is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is,” Emma added.

“I think it was the blessing and the curse, to finally understand what was happening, so I can be into the acceptances of what it is.

“It doesn’t make it any less painful but just being in the acceptance, and being in the know of what is happening to Bruce, makes it a little bit easier.”

Speaking of the help and the support she gets from Demi and Bruce’s daughters, Emma said, “We’re a very honest and open household.

“The most important thing was to be able to say what the disease was, explain what it is, because when you know when the disease is from a medical standpoint, it all makes sense.

“I don’t want there to be any stigma or shame attached to their dad’s diagnosis, or for any form of dementia.

“There are so many beautiful things happening in our lives. It’s really important for me to look up from the grief, and the sadness, so I can see what is happening around us. Bruce would really want us to be in the joy of what is. He would really want that for me, and our family.

“He’s the gift that keeps on giving. Love, patience, resilience… For me to be out here, doing this, this is not my comfort zone. But this is the power of Bruce.”

We pray for Bruce Willis and his family and hope for the best outcome.

Ray came home one night and fell asleep

By

After a long and tiring day at the office, a man named Ray couldn’t wait to call the day off. Once home, he took his shoes off and crawled into bed with his wife who was already asleep and dozed off.

Just as he had fallen asleep, he heard St. Peter telling him that he died in his sleep.

“I’m dead?” Ray asked while still in complete shock. “No way in hell am I! Too much is at stake for me to die now; please bring me back!”

St. Peter then told him there was a way he gets back to Earth, but only in a form of a chicken.

Ray agreed, and his only wish was to be placed in a farm next to his neighborhood.

St. Peter did as promised and Ray soon found himself at a nice farm, talking to a rooster. “So, you’re the new hen, huh?” the rooster asked. “How is your first day going thus far?”

“Not bad,” Ray answered, “but I have this funny feeling inside like I’m gonna explode!”

“You’re ovulating; don’t tell me you’ve never laid an egg before?”

Ray was a bit confused, and said he had never done that before.

“Well, just chill out and let it happen,” the rooster advised him, assuring him it wasn’t a big deal.

A few seconds later, an egg sprang to the surface and Ray was both emotional and relieved.

Moments later, he laid another, and then yet another egg.

At that moment, he felt someone tapping him and saying, “Ray, wake up! You took a dump on the bed!”

William & Kate have this 1 strict rule for their children at home

By

Monica Pop

-

Princess Charlotte is the only daughter of Kate and William. She is third in line of succession, but she would likely not be a working royal but would need to work for a living, as per royal experts. This is due to her grandfather’s wish to slim down the monarchy.

“From what I hear, the Prince and Princess of Wales want Charlotte, aged seven, to grow up with the expectation that she will get a job and not be a full-time royal,” royal expert Richard Eden told the Mirror.

“This path for the young Princess would be in keeping with her grandfather, King Charles III’s, vision for a slimmed-down monarchy.”

Charlotte is truly a special young lady whose personality shines through more and more. She, as well as her two brothers, attend the prestigious Lambrook School which provides students with plenty of activities such as taking care of animals and doing various sports like cricket, rugby, football, and golf among the rest.

Princess Charlotte is a fan of soccer.

Last year, she accompanied her parents at the Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, they visited a charity, SportsAid House, of which Kate has been a patron since 2013. Its chief executive, Tim Lawler, revealed what Charlotte’s favorite sport is.

“She really, really loved seeing the swimming, but she’s interested in the gymnastics, and while they’re trying lots of different sports at home, I understand, when I asked her about sport, she answered very easily and said, ‘It’s gymnastics that I like,’” he said.

“Charlotte is really into gymnastics, she’s doing cartwheels, handstands, everything,” the Princess of Wales said. “It’s so good for their basic skills of balance and coordination.”

Dad William added, “And their flexibility, it’s really good for their long-term health, isn’t it? We went to watch the Cirque du Soleil recently, it was amazing.”

Speaking of the way they raise their kids, an insider said that Kate and William decided to ban the “naughty step” in their home and use a “chat sofa” instead and they never shout at their children.

“The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William,” the royal source said. “Things are explained and consequences outlined, and they never shout at them.”

The insider further added that “Shouting is absolutely off limits for the children, and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal.”

“Learning to lose, which I think we’ve got to concentrate more on nowadays,” William said. “I think people don’t know how to lose well. Talking about our children particularly, I want to make sure they understand that.”

He added that his children – and others – can “grow” from not winning.

“I think it’s really important from a young age to understand how to lose, and why we lose, and to grow from it and what you learn from that process,” the Prince of Wales said. “But also, to win well and not boast. There’s so many life lessons that help us all through life, in friendship building, in relationship building, workplace, that you gain from those early years of playing team sport.”

When it comes to food and their eating habits, the ready-made packaged food is a big no-no for the royal family. Instead, everything the children eat is fresh. What is interesting is that they are expected to eat whatever they are served, and saying “I don’t like it” is simply not acceptable.

“There is no tantrums or food throwing, and the children eat what is set before them. They queue up with the rest of the kids and parents in the Harness Room restaurant and ask for no special favors,” an insider told The Sun of the royal’s family visit of the exclusive Hurlingham Club in London.

The days of George, Charlotte, and Louis are filled with various activities, mostly outdoor ones, and when it comes to using tablets and phones, “They’re very much seen as mummy and daddy’s toys, not for children,” a source told Us Weekly.

“As two people who grew up without gadgets for entertainment themselves, William and Kate are firm believers in toys, outdoor play and encouraging an active imagination.”

Both Kate and William do all in their power to provide their children with a normal childhood, as much as that is possible.

The truth is finally out about the William and Kate affair rumors, and it confirms what we suspected

By

Monica Pop

-

The lives of the members of the British royal family have always been intriguing for the public.

The moment the country learned William started dating Kate while the two were both students at St. Andrews in Scotland, the media published all sorts of “love is in the air” articles which additionally added to the interest in the couple’s private life.

During the time they dated, William’s friends often mocked Kate because she was a commoner.

Before starting their multi-million dollar worth company Party Pieces, Kate’s parents worked ordinary jobs. Her mother was an air hostess for the British Airways and it seemed like a good ground for jokes at the future Princess’ expense.

Speaking on Vanity Fair’s DYNASTY podcast last year, royal expert Katie Nicholl – author of The New Royals – described how William’s “snooty” friends whispered “doors to manual” when Kate arrived at one of West London’s nightclubs.

The prince’s aristocratic friends who were referred to as the “Glosse Posse,” a reference to their Gloucestershire roots, didn’t feel like Kate was on their level. However, she never rose to the “derogatory” comments made towards her, but decided to ignore them.

“It was never water off a duck’s back, but she has extraordinary strength of character and resilience. I’ve never once seen or heard of her losing her temper,” a royal aide told the Sunday Times Magazine.

William and Kate both graduated in the same year, 2005; William with a master of arts degree in geography, and Kate with a master of arts degree in art history. But while their relationship appeared only to flourish, trouble lay on the horizon.

However, in 2007, the couple split, and that split was a high-profile one as everyone suddenly started talking about it. The news filled the newspapers and made headlines while many speculated of the reasons behind the break-up.

They eventually reconciled and tied the knot on April 29, 2011.

In April 2019, the American publication In Touch reported that William “may” have had an affair with a woman named Rose Hanbury, who happens to be the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and a friend of Kate’s.

Allegedly, Kate confronted William about the rumors but he “laughed it off” and claimed that wasn’t true.

Daily Mail royal expert Richard Kay spoke on the matter and said it was fake news. “Both sides have considered legal action, but because none of the reports have been able to offer any evidence about what the so-called dispute is about, they have chosen to ignore it… These hurtful rumors of a fallout are simply false,” Kay wrote.

Rose and her husband live near Kate and William in a home with 106 rooms.

Rose’s maternal grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambert, was one of late Queen Elizabeth’s bridesmaids when she married Prince Philip, so this woman’s connection with the royals dates way back.

She and Kate are said to be friends who are both patrons of the East Anglia Children’s Hospice. What’s most, it has been reported that in the past William, Kate, Rose, and Rose’s husband David, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, double-dated.

Today, Rose works as a political researcher for the Conservative MP Michael Gove, but in the past she used to be a model. She and her husband started dating in 2003 and tied the knot six years later, welcoming three children together, twin brothers Alexander, the Earl of Rocksavage, and Lord Oliver Cholmondeley and daughter, Lady Iris.

Lord Oliver was one of King Charles’ Pages on Honor during his coronation in May of this year.

Currently, Rose’s husband is appointed Lord-in-Waiting to King Charles.

When the rumor about the alleged affair between William and Rose spread, it was reported that they were all left baffled.

“These hurtful rumours of a fallout are simply false. William and David were in touch with each other over the weekend, not knowing whether to laugh or complain,” an insider said.

“Both wives are hurt by the suggestion that there is any argument or even a coolness between them. They have plans for future events involving their charity.”

As per The Mirror, another friend said at the time: “It has now become very upsetting, and they are all concerned for each other, as they have never before had to start denying something for which there is no evidence or even a smidgen of truth. It is just mad.”

That the rumors might be far from true speaks the fact that Kate and Rose attended a music festival together, held at the 1000-acre Houghton Hall estate, owned by David and Rose.

“Catherine was nervous about the idea, but after much discussion with her protection officers, she went with lots of security. William wasn’t there,” a source shared with the Daily Mail.

The media reported that the Princess of Wales was “in high spirits, ordering spicy margaritas, eating affogato and speaking affably with the other members of her party.

“Her companions apparently carted in a huge, balthazar-sized bottle of AIX rosé and, together with Kate, left the festival restaurant staff a £700 tip.”

Put a clove of garlic in the toilet before going to bed, here’s what happens to your toilet in the morning

However, besides being used as a natural remedy and as a common cooking ingredient, garlic can also be used for cleaning. If you wonder how, we have the answer.

In order to maximize the cleanness and freshness of your toilet simply peel a clove of garlic and drop it in the toilet. You can use it as a whole or smashed.

Allow it to work overnight, unleashing its antibacterial power and give your toilet a scrub and flush it the following morning.
