Expecting a baby is one of the most cherished moments in the life of many parents-to-be. Couples who are eagerly waiting to embrace their tiny bundle of joy love taking photos of the days before the sweet baby enters the world so that they could show the little ones the joy that preceded their arrival.

Jazzy and Rich are no different. These two already have a daughter together and they were now preparing for the birth of another child. Both thought it would be awesome if they do a photo shoot, and so they did.

Jazzy and her little girl wore matching pink dresses and the proud mom had her hair and make-up done. The location? A perfect place with a waterfall.

This truly was a happy day for Jazzy, but little did she know it would turn even better as her partner had a surprise for her.

As she was posing, the photographer asked her to stay still for a photo while Rich got down on one knee behind her back. He had a box with a ring in his pocket and was ready to pop the question.

Heartbreaking news about Sofia Vergara confirms what we all feared

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara celebrated her 51st birthday recently, and as much as her fans were happy for her and the fun she had with her closest friends, they couldn’t help but notice the absence of her husband Joe Manganiello from the photos and they grew even more suspicious about his absence when the actress captioned one of the posts, “When life gives u lemons u come to Italy to squeeze them.”

Joe did wish his wife a very happy birthday with a blurred photo of the couple with the caption “¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!!!” which many dubbed ‘cold.’

Rumors were that their relationship wasn’t at its best which was sadly confirmed when they announced they were separating after nearly eight years.

Sofia and Joe tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Palm Beach in November 2015. The 400 people in their guest list included Vergara’s Modern Family co-stars Ariel Winter, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland and Ty Burrell, as well as Manganiello’s co-stars from True Blood Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Other A-list stars in attendance, among the rest, were Reese Witherspoon and Channing Tatum.

They first met at a White House Correspondent Association dinner in 2014 while she was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb. He asked for her number and just a few weeks later she broke up with Nick and she and Joe were a thing.

Speaking of meeting Sofia, Joe said in a 2020 interview, “I knew pretty quickly that I could trust her, and she knew pretty quickly that she could trust me. And we’re both the kind of people who are capable of putting the other person ahead of ourselves.” He added, “I was capable of putting her wishes ahead of mine, whatever they were, and she was capable of doing the same. Once you have that, you don’t let go of it.”

Sadly, the couple shared the news regarding their decision to separate in a statement to PageSix on Monday, saying, “We have made the difficult decision to divorce.”

“As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” their statement read.

A source close to the couple said, “Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future.” A different source added: “At the start of Sofia’s big birthday trip those close to her were explaining away Joe’s absence with the excuse that he was busy filming back on the East Coast; that excuse barely held up due to the writers strike, but once the actor’s strike took effect, he could have been on the first flight… and he quite clearly is not.

“So now no one out there with her is even attempting to pretend that it’s not over. It’s over. It’s done,” they ended.

A surprising history behind this unique plant

By

If you ever wondered how the eggplant got its name, this is the story behind this unique plant.

Well, we are very well aware that the long, purple crop goes well in a number of dishes. Whether it’s simply stir fried or used in salads or in more complex and traditional dishes such as baba ghanoush or ratatouille, the eggplant is in fact not a vegetable but a fruit. Yet, in a culinary sense, it is considered a vegetable.

Eggplants come in different forms and colors, way more unusual than the ones we are used to. In fact, eggplants come in shades of white, green, red, and black.

The name comes from their resemblance with eggs while they grow. Just like in the photo below posted by a Reddit user who made many go ‘aah’ when they saw the post.

Before they’re ripe it’s easier to understand why they’re called eggplants.

In Britain, as well as some parts of Europe, the eggplant is called by its French name, aubergine.

When raw, eggplants have almost spongy texture and are quite bitter, that is why they are mostly consumed cooked and go well in plenty of dishes. They can be grilled, roasted, sautéed, fried, or baked, and are particularly well-suited to dishes that feature light sauces or delicate flavors which makes it a versatile and widely used plant.

Facebook/ Love Story

There are differences between the white and purple eggplants. For one, the peel of the white eggplant is a bit thicker so its recommended to peel it off before cooking it, while that of the purple one is thinner and can be eaten.

While purple eggplants can be found almost everywhere, that’s not true for the white ones which are mostly found in specialty markets or through online seed catalogs for home gardeners.

Eggplants were first mentioned in 544 in a Chinese book on agriculture and have been considered a mysterious plant for many years. Allegedly, it was the European farmers who came up with the name back in the 1700’s because they resembled goose and duck eggs.

One thing is certain, eggplants are a true delicacy.

Man finds elderly veteran crying in the bathroom and hears rude teen laughing, now everyone’s talking about his response

A man named Marcus Pass shares a devastating story of a teenager making fun of an elderly veteran who couldn’t get up from the toilet seat because he was too weak. Sadly, this speaks a lot of how heartless and brutal most young people are nowadays.

Rant of the day…. eating lunch at zaxbys and over hear some young man laughing about an older gentleman in the bathroom that couldn’t get off the toilet. So I proceed to walk in and can hear this man crying on the toilet I ask him if he’s ok he said that his legs were to weak to stand up and he left his cane by the door. I asked him to unlock the door and helped the man up and got his pants up for him, the man had a Vietnam veteran hat on and gave me a hug and told me that he’s 69 years old and that was the most embarrassing moment in his life with tears in his eyes… I shook his hand and thanked him for all he’s done and walked him out to the lobby and made that teenager apologize to the man…

If we are lucky enough, we will all get old one day, and we will be as vulnerable and at times as helpless as this elderly veteran, that is why we should never forget to treat the elderly with utmost respect.

Marcus’ post was shared over 50,000 times in less than 48 hours.

If there were more people like Marcus, this world would be a much better place.

Morgan Freeman, 86, suffers massive health shock

By

Actor Morgan Freeman missed the press trip to the United Kingdom for Special Ops: Lioness, leaving co-stars Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman without his company at the Paramount+ series’ promo. The reason why is that the Invictus star experienced fever ahead of his travel plans and according to his doctors he contracted a suspected ‘contagious infection.’

As expected, his absence was notable during a series of press engagements in London, including a screening of their Paramount+ show on Tuesday. The host of The One Show, Alex Jones, expressed her disappointment that Morgan was unable to attend when the two actresses appeared.

A representative of the actor informed MailOnline, “Morgan has a fever, and his doctor believed he had a contagious infection, so he canceled his trip. He is fine now.”

While he’s recovering, his co-stars follow quite a busy schedule. Both Saldana and Kidman had a photocall at the IET London and a screening at the Tate Britain.

Special Ops: Lioness is inspired by a real-life CIA program and follows the life of marine Joe (Zoe) as she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror. Kidman plays senior CIA supervisor Kaitlyn Meade in the film. She works with Marine Raider Cruz (De Oliveira) on an undercover assignment to stop another 9/11.

Known for his shows within the Yellowstone universe, including historical series like 1883 and 1923, Special Ops: Lioness shows something different from creator Taylor Sheridan and it’s definitely worth watching.

The series is due to premiere on streaming platform Paramount+ on July 23 with episodes expected to be released weekly over the course of the season.

We hope Morgan Freeman will overcome any health issue he’s experiencing.

A flight is on its way to Sydney

There are plenty of jokes involving blonde women and police officers, and although they don’t really depict these peoples’ true natures and are just jokes, we hope no blonde woman will get mad at the following joke. It’s old but gold.

A flight is on its way to Sydney, Australia when a blonde in economy class gets up, and moves to the first class section and sits down. The flight attendant watches her do this, and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde that she paid for economy class, and that she will have to sit in the back.

The blonde replies, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Sydney and I’m staying right here.” The flight attendant goes into the c*ckpit and tells the pilot and the co-pilot that there is a blonde bimbo sitting in first class, that belongs in economy, and won’t move back to her seat.

The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for economy she will have to leave and return to her seat. The blonde replies, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Sydney and I’m staying right here.” The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this blonde woman who won’t listen to reason. The pilot says, “You say she is a blonde? I’ll handle this, The pilot says, “You say she is a blonde? I’ll handle this , I’m married to a blonde. I speak blonde.” He goes back to the blonde and whispers in her ear, and she says, “Oh, I’m sorry” and gets up and goes back to her seat in economy. The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to make her move without any fuss. I told her, “First class isn’t going to Sydney.”

Celebrities are often portrayed as individuals with flawless skin and amazing posture and that sets up unrealistic beauty standards for the ordinary people. The truth is, however, that famous people do pay a lot of attention and put much effort to the way they look, either by going under the knife or following strict diets, working out and use plenty of beauty products.

Cher, the ‘Goddess of Pop,’ who is 76 years old, is one of those celebrities who defy age. Regardless her age, she looks as stunning as ever and is even dating someone who is 40 years her junior. For this woman, age is definitely just a number.

Recently, she opened up about her lifestyle and said that her stunning looks has to do with the way she eats and how active she is.

It turns out Cher’s diet is plant-based and dairy free. She avoids alcohol and takes great care of her skin.

”I exercise about five times a week because it’s something I’ve always done and I just enjoy it,” she said. She says she works out as twice as others but that doesn’t bother her because she is dedicated to keeping a thinner shape. ”When I was young I was a tomboy. I played sports. And I’m learning to surf right now. I like that kind of stuff, thank God.”

In her book Cher Forever Fit: The Lifetime Plan for Health, Fitness, and Beauty, the icon wrote that she tries to avoid food with high fat content and doesn’t eat meat or cheese.

When it comes to alcohol, smoking, and drugs, Cher stays keeps herself away from it.

”There are things I don’t like that are unhealthy, like drugs and drinking, so I never got into them to begin with,” she commented in 2013 and added: ”I smoked cigarettes for a while and I’d have done drugs had I liked them, but they didn’t agree with me. I’ll only drink three of four times a year too.”

When it comes to the skin routine she practices, Cher says she doesn’t have one product that’s her go-to.

“My skincare routine is very eclectic. I don’t stick to one particular product, I just have things that I love from different people,” said. ”I have a friend, her name is Dr. Barbara Sturm, and she makes an eye cream and face wash that I love. I love Jan Marini products too. I also have Proactiv products that I love.”

One thing is certain, Cher is still one of the most amazing singers and one of the most beautiful women in the world of music.

Baby mocked for having white hair – but wait until you see how he looks years later

By

When baby Redd was born in 2012, his mom and dad, Patricia and Dale Williams, were overjoyed. At the same time, they knew their bundle of joy was different than most babies they have seen. Redd’s hair was as white as snow, and he looked adorable beyond words. However, when he turned around two months old, they noticed that his eyes would constantly move side to side.

Worried that something could be wrong, they googled the symptoms and were almost certain that Redd had albinism.

The first thing they did was making an appointment with an optometrist and genetic specialists to help with an official diagnosis. And, it was soon made official; Redd had Oculocutaneous Albinism Type one (OCA1) a condition which affects 1 in 17,000 people globally.

When Redd was born, the hospital staff were excited over his looks and everyone wanted to see the baby with the white hair. Patricia believed that Redd would overgrow this and that his hair would turn darker over time, but now that he was diagnosed with albinism, she knew that his white hair and blue eyes which would sometimes sparkle red in certain lights were there to stay.

Then, in 2018, Patricia and Dale welcomed son Rockwell who was born with the same condition as his older brother.

Sadly, both Redd and Rockwell experienced hard time at kindergarten and at school as their peers made fun of their looks. Their older brother Gage, who doesn’t have albinism, has been very protective of them, but still, the bullying has been present.

Patricia also did in her power to teach her children to accept their looks and learn how to love themselves the way they are, but then something that disturbed them happened. Someone used a photo of Rockwell that Patricia shared on her social media and turned it into a meme. The parents asked for it to be deleted, but its was already shared all over the internet.

Realizing there was nothing they could do, they decided to ignore the incident and not let it affect their lives. Instead, they became advocates who want to raise awareness about albinism. After Patricia gained a lot of followers on her social media because of Rockwell’s photo which went viral, she received plenty of questions about her sons, and that’s when she realized there were a lot of people out there who knew little about albinism, and what they knew came from obscure movies with little representation.

As of Redd, he underwent an eye surgery to correct his strabismus and shifted from a private school for blind children to a public one. The surgery was a brilliant decision for the family as it helped Redd a lot. They chose surgery over Redd wearing eye patches because they didn’t want him to attract further attention, and with that, to lessen the bullying.

On April 28, 2023, Patricia shared a clip of Rockwell from his school’s “Western Day.” This time around, the little boy was met with a lot of love and appreciation on social media as opposed to the times when was called names.

Both Redd and Rockwell are now thriving.
