A man was stuck on an island with 6 women and then someone else arrived

We have heard plenty of fun stories and jokes of people getting stuck on deserted island but this one is definitely one of the best.

Phillip rather fancied himself to be quite a ladies man, so after his cruise ship sank in a storm and he found himself stranded on a deserted island with six women, he didn’t see his being shipwrecked so much as a disaster as it being the best thing that had ever happened to him.

Between themselves, they agreed that each of the six women would spend one night a week with Phillip, being the only man, leaving him with one night on his own to recover his strength.

Pexel

At first, Phillip threw himself into this arrangement enthusiastically, even working on his day off, but as the weeks stretched into months, he found himself looking forward to that day of rest more and more every week.

One afternoon, many months after having been stranded on their deserted island, he was sitting on the beach and wishing that there were more men to help share his duties.

All of a sudden, he caught sight of a man waving from a life raft that was bobbing on the waves about a quarter of a mile from the beach.

Pexel

Phillip quickly swam out to the raft and pulled it to shore and having got there he did a little jig of happiness.

“You can’t believe how happy I am to see you”, he cried to the man on the raft.

The man on the raft eyed him up and down, gave Phillip a wink and said, “Ooh you are a sight for sore eyes too, you gorgeous thing!”

“Oh rats”, sighed Phillip, “there go my Sundays.”

Real reason why Melania Trump is missing from family Christmas photo: Donald Trump speaks out

Former president and business mogul Donald Trump celebrated Christmas with his family by his side at his Mar-a-Lago estate. As per tradition, they released a family photo which included his sons, daughters, and grandchildren. However, the one person that was missing was his wife, Melania Trump.

As expected, people started speculating about the reasons regarding Melania‘s absence, and the truth behind it is heartbreaking.

Melania’s life has been a fascinating one. Born Melania Knauss on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, she grew up in the small railway town of Sevnica. Her father, Viktor, who was a car mechanic and chauffeur, and her mother, Amalija, who worked as a pattern-maker at a clothing factory, were able to provide a good life for Melania and her sister Ines.

“I grew up with a beautiful family and had a wonderful childhood,” Melania Trump said. “My mother and father taught us the importance of education, hard work and family.”

The two sisters were always dressed impeccably as their mom spent hours designing and making clothes for them. Later on, Melania designed the clothes her mother sewed for her herself.

“She was very pretty,” Tomšič, who has run a local hospital to which Melania donated $25,000 after marrying Donald Trump, told GQ in 2016. “She was always very fancy.”

Having nice jobs living in then Yugoslavia, Viktor and Amalija took their daughters to vacations in places such as Germany, France, and Italy.

At the age of 16, Melania was scouted by fashion photographer Stane Jerko who spotted her leaning on a fence while leaving a fashion show at the Festival Hall.

“By the staircase at the entrance, I saw this girl,” Jerko recalled. “She was tall, slim, with long hair. I told her who I was, what I did, and why I would photograph her.”

Youtube/BBC

It was back in 1987 when young Melania decided to drop out of the University of Ljubljana and focus on modeling instead. It took her only a year to get a contract with a modeling agency in Milan.

When she met famous Italian businessman Paolo Zampolli, he helped her get a work visa to the U.S.

She went to New York she lived in a shared apartment at Gramercy Park, but being 26 at the time, which is considered older than an average aspiring woman, Melania decided to put everything on the line and posed for the French men’s magazine Max without clothes on.

This caught the attention of many, and soon after, Melania’s face was all over Times Square as part of a commercial for a tobacco company.

At a Kit Kat Club event during the New York Fashion Week in 1998, Zampolli brought a friend, Donald Trump. He was with a date that night, but when he saw Melania, he immediately wanted to know more about her.

One of Melania’s friends, Edit Molnar, spoke of that night and explained that Donald asked Melania for her number, but she didn’t give it to him because he wasn’t alone. “Melania said, ‘He’s here with a woman. I am absolutely not giving him my number,’” Molnar told New York Post. “She wouldn’t even consider it. Donald did all the work.”

Melania also spoke of the night she first met Donald Trump. “He wanted my number,” she told Tatler. “But he was on a date, so of course I didn’t give it to him. I said, ‘I am not giving you my number; give me yours and I will call you.’ If I give him my number, I’m just one of the women he calls.”

After they met again, one thing led to another and the two started a relationship. In 2001, at the time Melania got her green card, she was already living at Trump Tower.

They tied the knot some three years later, and in 2006, they welcomed their son Baron Trump.

Melania did end her career as a model, but she never stopped working, regardless of her husband’s enormous wealth.

When Trump became President of The United States of America, Melania thanked her parents for their sacrifice in her speech.

“My parents worked very hard to ensure our family could not only live and prosper in America but also contribute to a nation that allows for people to arrive with a dream and make it a reality,” she said. “I want to take the moment to thank my mother and father for all that they have done for our family. It is because of you that I am standing here today.”

According to The New York Times, Melania’s parents “split their time among an apartment in Trump Tower, Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and the suite in the White House once used by Mrs. Obama’s mother.”

Melania is extremely close with her parents, and it is her mother who is the reason why the former First Lady wasn’t spending Christmas with her family.

Sadly, according to Donald Trump, Melania’s mom has been ill and she needs her daughter around.

“Melania—great First Lady, so popular, the people love her—she’s now in a hospital with her mother. Her mother, Amalija, is very ill, but hopefully she’ll be recovering,” Trump said.

“But she’s been very ill, so I just want to say ‘hello’ to the First Lady—we just spoke, down in Miami, great hospital—and hopefully they’ll be ok, but it’s a tough one, it’s a very tough one. She knows probably about 95% of the people in this room. We just want to wish Amalija that she gets better as quickly as possible.”

Awkward dining moment – Mother-in-law insists I cover the entire bill due to my large steak order

If you are uncertain whether something you did was right or wrong, you can always turn to Reddit and ask fellow users to provide you with their unbiased opinion. The AITA subreddit forum became quite popular, and people share their everyday stories, some crazier than the others.

A 27-year-old woman shared a story of how she and her mother-in-law got into a fight over the restaurant’s bill.

As OP explained, she’s a rather tiny woman with a very fast metabolism, but that doesn’t mean she eats little food. On the contrary, her meals are usually rather large because her work with horses requires a lot of energy and stamina.

One Friday night, her in-laws invited her and her husband to dinner, and knowing that her mother-in-law always makes rude comments about her eating, OP usually has something to eat before she even meets her, but this time she didn’t have the time.

That day, she only had breakfast at six in the morning and up until they arrived to the restaurant, OP didn’t have anything to eat, not even a snack so she was really hungry.

Once at the restaurant, OP ordered a large portion of steak which came with prawns, bacon, and two other side dishes. However, despite the size, the dish wasn’t the most expensive one on the menu. What’s most, what the mother-in-law ordered was even more expensive.

“My MIL started making comments [about] how I shouldn’t be ordering what I can’t eat since even her husband wouldn’t be able to finish the dish, let alone someone my size,” OP wrote. She didn’t say anything, just told her MIL that if she couldn’t finish her dish she would take the leftovers.

As she was hungry, OP ate everything, but that only made her MIL angry. She accused OP for “putting on a show” and looking for attention.

Further, MIL said that because of what she ordered, OP made everyone at the table uncomfortable, refusing to pay for half of the bill as agreed in advance.

“I said we are absolutely not covering the entire bill since it was meant to be split equally and reminded her of the dishes she ordered, that were significantly more expensive compared to my steak (including her starter),” OP wrote.

The woman’s husband stood by her side and believed that his mother did need to pay for half of the bill, but that’s not what the rest of the family thought. In the days to come, some of them sent OP articles about excessive eating.

Redditors, as expected, sided with OP.

New husband demands wife give stepdaughter her family heirloom instead of her own daughter

Passing down family heirloom from one generation to another isn’t just a tradition but a promise that one is never willing to break.

A woman shared a story of how this beautiful tradition turned ugly because of her new husband’s demand.

Asking whether she was right or wrong, she turned to Reddit and explained that there was this precious piece of jewelry, a green emerald necklace, that has been passed down to the eldest child of the family on their fourteenth birthday. This tradition existed for many years.

The 35-year-old woman further added that her daughter Emily would be turning 14 in January 2024, and that she has been planing to give the necklace to her, as she always wanted.

However, some two years ago, OP tied the knot to her husband Joey, who also has a daughter, Sophia, who’s around the same age as Emily.

One day, while discussing Christmas gifts, Joey mentioned something that made OP’s blood boil. He suggested that she give the necklace to Sophia and that it would mean a lot to his daughter because it would show that OP truly accepts Sophia as her own daughter.

The woman explained that Emily knew of the tradition and that she was already looking forward to the necklace, but Joey insisted.

What’s most, he called her self-centered and told her that if her daughter really wanted a necklace she could simply order one on Amazon for her.

Despite his constant insisting, OP said she won’t be giving the necklace to Sophia, but her husband got mad and gave her the silent treatment. He even shared what happened with his mother and sister who supported him and told him his wife was selfish and biased.

The woman asked fellow Redditors to give her advice, and as expected, most of them were in her favor.

“You’re not favoring one kid over another. Emily is your kid and the necklace is hers. Your [stepdaughter] is not entitled to anything. I would have told him that his daughter can get the knockoff from Amazon if it’s that important to him,” one user wrote.

They then added: “That being said, you need to put the necklace in a safe place like a box in the bank or something because trust me, as soon as Emily has it, it’s going to ‘disappear’ or be broken by ‘accident.’”

“It needs to be locked up in a safe place so that neither your [stepdaughter] nor your husband can get their hands on it. I would sit down with Emily and explain why you are doing so and that while you consider it hers, it’s best to keep it safe,” another person wrote.

Boy didn’t ask for any gifts from Santa – Instead requests to help his sister

Having a sibling is a true blessing. Brothers and sisters are always there for you when no one else is. You share with them your joy, your sadness, your accomplishments, and you turn to them when things get hard.

Ryan Suffern is an 8-year-old boy from North Carolina who has a twin sister. He loves her dearly…unconditionally. In fact, he loves her so much that he’s willing to trade some pretty cool toys for her happiness.

Source: Facebook/Karen Lynn Suffern

As it turns out, his sister Amer weights more than Ryan and the rest of the children in their class. That, unfortunately, made her a victim of bullying. Children often tease her and pick on her, and Ryan wants that to stop.

This kindhearted boy wrote to Santa and his letter touched many hearts. In it, he wrote how he wanted a remote-controlled car and a helicopter, but changed his mind because he now has a much important thing to ask for, his sister not to be picked on any more. He explains that Amer does nothing to provoke her bullies and that it’s not fair for her to be teased. That makes Ryan really mad.

Source: Facebook/Karen Lynn Suffern

When his mother Karen read the letter in order to see what toys her children asked for, she couldn’t stop tears from running down her face.

The truth is that she has been aware that he daughter experienced bullying at school, and no matter what she did to prevent it, things didn’t really change. “She would tell me things that kids would say at school,” Karen explained. “They would egg her on to do different things: she would crawl on the floors on a bus. You know, she would eat things off the chairs…It hurt me because I’m like, ‘I hope she’s not feeling how I used to feel when I was her age’? And it was a pattern.”

Once the story of Ryan’s letter and Amber’s bullying came known to the public, the two were invited to Good Morning America.

GMA

Speaking to Josh Elliott, who was the co-anchor of Good Morning America, Amber explained how kids at school pick on her but said she didn’t know why.

“They say I’m fat. I’m stupid. I’m ugly. And I’m hideous. I don’t really believe them,” the girl explained. And when it came to her sweet brother, Amber described him as fun, active, and protective.

Besides asking Santa for his twin sister not to be bullied, Ryan also asked if it would be possible Amber’s favorite band, Big Time Rush, to attend her birthday party and make it even more special. This was like an early gift.

GMA

As you are guessing already, the crew at Good Morning America made this dream come true by inviting the band to their program too.

Not only they played for Amber that day, but she and her loving brother were also invited as VIP guests at a weekend concert in New York City.

Luckily, after this story went viral, Karen was allowed to start a dialogue with her children’s school, which made things better for Amber, who suffers from ADHD, depression, and mood disorder.

“The school has been in touch and they’re making sure my daughter feels comfortable and safe. They moved her on the bus because about 98 percent of the bullying takes place on the bus. She’s now sitting with her cousin who’s much older than Amber is”.

“Today and yesterday she didn’t wake up begging me to let her stay home, so I guess that’s a good sign,” Karen said.

GMA

We truly hope this boy’s wish come true and that all the bullying in the world would stop because it is a very serious matter which affects many young children.

Helen Mirren debuts shocking new hairstyle at Cannes Film Festival at 77 years old

Oscar winning actress Helen Mirren attended Jeanne du Barry premiere during Cannes Film Festival opening night and stunned everyone with her new looks.

Once again, the 77-year-old actress, who has given the world of film so much over the years, showed her unique sense of style when she decided to dye her hair blue for the occassion.

The color of her hair, which is usually grey as she embraces her natural looks, matched her outfit, a gorgeous gown designed by Daniel Del Core.

Mirren swept her newly dyed locks high into a Marie Antoinette style Pouf. She did this to match the movie’s French historic theme. The Queen star accessorized her outfit with a silver choker and a fan that had “#WorthIt” written on it, a nod to her role as a L’Oreal ambassador.

Many agree that the actress managed to outdo herself once again with her splendid and glamorous looks that made her appear as though she came right out of a fairytale.

Mirren’s stylist, Lee Harris, who shared a photo of the actress’ new look, wrote, “She knows how to make an entrance,” and we can’t agree more.  

Back in 2019, Mirren attracted attention when she appeared with her hair pinkish.

Last year, again for the Cannes Film Festival, she donned extra-long white hair extensions and heavy eyeliner for a screening of the movie Mother And Son (Un Petit Frere).

Back then, she opted for a beaded silver gown and danced alongside actor Andie MacDowell.

In 2021, the actress told Vogue that going gray wasn’t a difficult transition for her. I have to say it was very easy for me because my hair was always blonde. I was a natural blonde and although it was quite dark at times, in the summertime when I’d spent time in the sun, it would basically go white,” she said. “So the process of me losing the color of my hair was very easy—it just looked more and more as if I had been in the sun, but year-round.”

One thing is certain, Mirren does follow the fashion trends and always looks spectacular.

Heart-wrenching announcement: Jay Leno’s troubling news shakes fans to the core!

Jay Leno, one of the most famous television personalities who hosted NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show’ from 1992 to 2014, has endured some hard time during the last couple of years.

The host of the TV series Jay Leno’s Garage, streaming on Peacock, suffered serious burns which required a hospital stay and two skin graft procedures following a gasoline fire which took place at his Burbank garage.

“I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet,” Leno told The Times in a statement after the incident.

Sadly, some time later, he went through another ordeal when he got involved in a motorcycle accident.

He was again taken to the hospital as it had been determined that he broke two kneecaps and two ribs and fractured his collarbone.

Luckily, Leno isn’t someone who gives up easily so despite the severity of his injuries he shared with his fans that was feeling fine and back to work.

When it comes to his job and his passion – he’s a huge classic-car enthusiast known for his extensive car collection which consists of 160 cars and 130 motorcycles – Leno doesn’t plan on slowing down.

Asked if he has any plans of retiring, Leno says it would need something very serious like a stroke to take place that could slow him down, otherwise, he won’t stop working any time soon.

During the Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge premiere, the famous host said “That’s when you retire when you have your stroke.” 

Shortly after his hospital stay, Leno was quick to return behind the wheel and even visited the sites of his unfortunate collisions.

Reflecting on the car fire incident, Leno spoke of the risks of working on cars.

“When you work with cars, you have a lot of accidents,” stressing that the accident he was involved in was of a bigger size.

“I knew how close I was to the pilot light, and I thought, ‘Uh oh,’” he added and compared the experience to getting the worst possible sunburn.

While at the hospital, he received an outpouring of love and support from his family and his friends.

“John Travolta gave me a big Italian basket,” she said, “Tom Selleck sent me an exquisite bouquet, and Russell Crowe took the time to reach out from Australia.”

Both Leno and his wife Mavis were deeply touched by the gestures because they showed the depth of friendships the couple created over the years.
