The post gathered a huge number of comments from fans and friends who wished Sofia a very happy birthday and shared birthday wishes.

“I adore you, Sofia,” model Heidi Klum posted. “To have you in my life is such a blessing.” Comedian Howie Mandel responded to the birthday greeting by saying, “Happy birthday. @heidiklum is so lucky to have you in her life.”

Modern Family co-star Sarah Hyland simply said, “HAAAAAAAA…”

Among the well-wishers was Sofia’s son Manolo whom she shares with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez. He shared an adorable reel consisting of photos, including childhood photos, with the caption “Happy forty ten!!!! I love you so much Ma, that the next 40+10 you will be even better!!!!!!!”

However, what made many worried was the absence of her husband Joe Manganiello.

He, however, did posted a tribute to his wife on her birthday, but fans believe it was ‘cold.’ With a low resolution photo of the two, Joe simply wrote, “¡¡¡Feliz Cumpleaños Sofía!!!”

The comment section of the post was full of concerned fans as one wrote: “Joe, I hope you guys are ok, that was a very different(cold) happy birthday wish to your wife, compare to previous ones!. [sad face emoji]”

Another said: “Something is definitely up. He hasn’t commented on her photos she’s been posted. hmmm…….”

Sofia ‘shared’ her special day with her puppy Bubbles who celebrated his 10th birthday. “Feliz 10th cumpleaños my sweet, vicious Bubbles! No matter how many times u bite me I will always love u,” she wrote.

Heidi Klum commented, “Happy Birthday Bubbles from auntie Heidi,” while a fan said, “She bites you because you’re sweet!!!”

Happy Birthday, Sofia Vergara, and many more to come.

The latest pictures of the great actor have fans on edge

May 6, 2004, marked the end of an era! It’s the date the final episode of the cult series Friends aired. Millions of fans from all over the world agree that there never will be another show like this one, and we feel the same. What is interesting about the show is that today, over 28 years after it premiered, Friends is as popular as back in the day as new generations discover the iconic series on Netflix. Honestly, I have watched it many times so far, but it somehow never grows old.

One of the characters, each of which made the series what it is today, was Chandler, played by Matthew Perry. His wit and love for Monica, his on-screen other half, made millions fall for him. Over the years, he has dated many beautiful women, among which Yasmine Bleeth, Julia Roberts, and Lizzy Caplan.

However, as time passed by, Perry’s appearance changed a lot, and many agree that he’s unrecognizable nowadays. Among the rest, he gained extra pounds and appeared with bloated face, and “looking lonely and sad.”

One of the reasons for this has been his addiction to alcohol and opiates for which he opened up in his memoir. According to the actor himself, at the height of his fame, he would take 55 Vicodin pills a day, and “over the next 20 years, he would check into rehab 15 times, attend 6,000 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and undergo 14 stomach surgeries.”

Recently, he was spotted by paparazzi in a parking lot in Beverly Hills wearing a soiled T-shirt, and appearing unwashed and unshaven. He was also wearing laceless sneakers.

Perry spoke of his near-death experiences, and one of them, probably the most recent one, is when he suffered from a perforated bowel, also known as gastrointestinal perforation and burst bowel some two years ago.

The Friends star, however, is doing all in his power to battle his addictions. One of the things he does, except for rehab, is participating in public discussions during which he speaks of his drug addiction and his efforts to maintain long-term sobriety.

Speaking of the time he was filming Friends, and how he had troubles doing that because of his addictions, Perry told ABC News, “The majority of it consisted of booze and drugs. I believe I did a good job of concealing it, but in the end, others were able to figure it out.”

Speaking of his life, he wrote in his memoir which was published in 2022 that nowadays, he is “sitting in a huge house, overlooking the ocean, with no one to share it with, save a sober companion, a nurse, and a gardener twice a week.”

We truly wish Matthew Perry manages to get back on track and turns his life for the better.

After Thanksgiving dessert, son starts to vomit and turns blue: Moments later, mom discovers fatal mistake

Thanksgiving is that time of the year we are all eagerly waiting because it means we’ll get to spend the day with those we love the most, our precious family and friends we are thankful for.

However, this Thanksgiving will be remembered by one family as the worst day of their life. On this day that was supposed to be all about happiness and love, a life was lost.

Oakley Debbs, an 11-year-old boy made one wrong choice, and his parents failed to help him, and now he is in Heaven and his mom and dad will forever grief over the loss.

Facebook/Tyler Debbs Squire

The family was getting ready for the celebration and wanted to make sure everything was perfect, so they put the turkey in the oven, and ordered a bunch of tasty sweets to offer their guests with. But, little did they know that the basket of treats and the cake which was inside would be the reason for their son’s death.

Everything looked so delicious that no one could resist the smell of the freshly baked bread and cookies. Oakley was curious to take a bite of the cake that was looking at him from the table placed in the corner of the room so he treated himself with a tiny piece of it not knowing it contained nuts. Oakley had a mild allergy to peanuts and the reaction was immediate.

He rushed to his mother who started reading the ingredient’s list. It contained walnuts that triggered the allergy, so Merrill didn’t think twice before giving her son Benadryl which seemed to work just fine. Oakley started feeling better, and he even went out to play with his cousins.

“It went away. Whatever was going on inside of him we had no knowledge of. He seemed fine. He went out to play with his cousins, took a shower and brushed his teeth.”

But as soon as the family called the night off, Oakley started complaining. He told her mom:

“I’m getting sick again.”

This time, the symptoms were way more severe and the mother simply didn’t have time to react. She reached for the phone and called 911.

“He started throwing up and from there it was a tornado of issues. We called 911. By the time the ambulance got there – about 10 minutes later- he was blue.”

Facebook/Tyler Debbs Squire

When the first respondents arrived there was nothing that could be done. They gave the boy two doses of epinephrine but it was too late for him to be saved. Oakley was brought to the hospital where doctors fought for his life for four days, but at the end they had to let go. The boy was pronounced dead.

His mother can’t forget that day. She had spent days blaming herself for not giving him more intensive medication in the first place. She should have chosen EpiPen over the Benadryl. But, the damage was done and Merrill couldn’t get over the thought that he could have been alive if she had chosen differently.

Dr. Ruchi Gupta, an associate professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and director of the Food Allergies Outcomes Program at Northwestern, told TODAY that delayed allergic reaction like Oakley’s is a mystifying subject.

“We do not know enough about delayed reactions like these that seem to get better but then progress rapidly to death. That is why it is so critical to know how to identify a reaction and when and how to use epinephrine.”

The family later wrote an open letter to everyone who knew and loved their son as well as those who provided them with endless support.

“‘Love, love and more love. You are all so beautiful. Thank you, everyone, for being with me, especially during this time. I appreciate how strong you have been for me. No one could have done anything else Wednesday night. No one is to blame. If you think you are… DON’T. Don’t PLEASE!

Thank you for everyone wanting to help me. Having a family so thoughtful and caring who loves to laugh makes me the happiest boy. Support each other with determined hearts. Be there to support or to be held. It is the way to get through this time. I am grateful to be part of this family. I am blessed by the grace of God to be in it…

Be cheerful happy and enthusiastic. Show your courage, be at peace. Love your life and live it. That is the best thing you can do for me.

Look for me in the rainbow I will always be there.'”

Merrill hopes the story of her son’s sudden passing will raise awareness in schools about allergies and it will result in incorporating nut ban. She founded a foundation called “Red Sneakers” that educates people on the dangers of food allergies. This mother who loved her son as only a mother can love will always live with the pain of his loss. She did everything in her power to save her boy’s life, but it was simply impossible.

Cat stuffed in paper bag, left in dumpster now safe thanks to rescuers

All animals are meant to be loved, but sadly, many of them are treated badly and often neglected. A lot of them end up on the streets as strays or at shelters praying for the right person to come across and provide them with a forever home.

A tiny kitten was placed inside a paper bag and thrown in a dumpster. Luckily, a local hospital worker heard the desperate meowing and contacted the local police to investigate.

Once at the scene, an Officer from Carilion Police looked inside the dumpster and that’s when he noticed the poor animal stuffed inside a paper bag. He quickly took it out and brought him inside the police car.

The kitten, which was named Toby, was then taken to the Carilion Clinic and placed under the care of Angels of Assisi, an animal shelter in Roanoke, Virginia.

Luckily, the shelter managed to find Toby a foster home. Once he’s old enough, he will be given up for adoption.

Toby’s life could have ended tragically had it not been for all the kind people involved in his rescue.

Once his story was shared, people couldn’t help but praise Toby’s rescuers as well as share their anger over the person who threw him inside the dumpster to die.

“Nothing but a monster would do that to a baby,” one commenter wrote on Facebook. “Thank you all for saving baby.”

“I can’t even imagine how anyone could do this,” another wrote. “So thankful this baby was saved & I hope they catch whoever did this.”

We are so happy for Toby’s happy ending.

Lisa Marie Presley’s cause of death at 54 finally revealed – confirms the rumors are true

The death of Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the only daughter of the King of Rock and Roll, left many of her fans in devastation. The news of her sudden passing was shared by her mother Priscilla Presley who wrote, “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us. She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.” 

Mere days before she went into cardiac arrest in her home, Lisa Marie attended the Golden Globes and witnessed actor Austin Butler’s win for the portrayal of her famous father in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.

Lisa Marie was transferred to a hospital and placed in a medically induced coma but was declared brain dead.

As tributes continue to flow in for Presley, her ex-husband Nicolas Cage broke his silence and opened up about her passing.

“This is devastating news. Lisa had the greatest laugh of anyone I ever met. She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken. I find some solace believing she is reunited with her son Benjamin,” Cage wrote.

Presley was married four times, to Danny Keough, Michael Jackson, and Michael Lockwood. 

Lockwood, with whom she shared her twin girls, also issued a statement following Presley’s death saying he is focusing on the girls and helping them cope with their mother’s tragic passing.

Baz Luhrmann also paid tribute, saying: “Over the last year, the entire Elvis movie family and I have felt the privilege of Lisa Marie’s kind embrace. Her sudden, shocking loss has devastated people all around the world. I know her fans everywhere join me in sharing prayers of love and support with her mother, Priscilla, and her wonderful daughters Riley, Finley and Harper.”

Now, six months after her passing, the cause of death has finally been revealed. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner listed the cause of death as “sequelae of small bowel obstruction,” and deeming it “natural.”

“The obstruction was in the form of a strangulated small bowel caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery years ago. This is a known long-term complication of this type of surgery,” the report added.

A small bowel obstruction occurs when the small intestine is blocked – which can often happen due to a number of factors like colon cancer, medication or adhesions (scar tissue) that forms after surgery, the BBC explained.

It has been revealed that the scar tissue on Lisa Marie’s small intestines was a result of weight-loss surgery (also known as bariatric surgery) that she underwent several years ago.

It has also been revealed that the late singer had a history of overmedicating.

King Charles’ unexpected gesture toward Queen Camilla raises questions

The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, which took place on May 6 and was watched by around 20 million Britons, represented an important historical and traditional event. It was a day when all eyes were on the British royal family and to the delight of many, everything went according to plan.

On Wednesday, July 5, the King and Queen of Britain were symbolically crowned for the second time in Scotland.

The ceremony took place at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh and the king was presented with the Honors of Scotland – the crown, scepter, and the sword of state – which he received during the service. This ceremony is often referred to as to “a second coronation” and is not an official coronation in its own right but a symbolic event.

King Charles was presented with the legendary Crown of Scotland, which is one of Europe’s oldest surviving crowns and the oldest in Britain, having been made by Scotland’s royal goldsmith, John Mosman, in 1540. This crown was made for James V, who wore it at the coronation of Queen Mary of Guise in 1540, but was first used for an actual coronation when Mary Queen of Scots was crowned.

“By the symbol of this crown, we pledge our loyalty, entrusting you to reign as our king in the service of all your people,” Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon and Scotland’s most senior peer, said as he presented Charles with the crown on a cushion.

“In receiving this crown, I so promise by God’s help,” Charles replied.

The event was a delightful one, but at one point, right upon arrival at the Cathedral, King Charles showed impatience, according to body expert Judy James.

“This appeared to be a more relaxed ceremony for Charles, who shared the spotlight almost evenly with Camilla, William, and Kate, meaning his body language projected less of the ongoing signals of tension and anxiety than at his actual coronation, and he wore a warm, beaming smile most of the time,” James told Mirror.

“He did appear to fuss and fret over Camilla this time, though, and when he did drop the smile and adopt a wary frown with his signature steepled brows, it was when he was turning back in concern to see her get safely in and out of their car or to move to her seat, which was when he also used some of the rapid hand-flicking gestures that tend to signal royal impatience.”

James concluded: “His concern seemed justified as Camilla did appear nervous. Unlike Kate, she lacked the ability to perform a pose of stillness during the service, and her constant patting of her hair or the white plume of her hat were self-checking rituals that hinted at ongoing inner anxiety.”

This wasn’t the first time that King Charles showed frustration and impatience publicly. The same thing happened back in December while he and Camilla visited the Welsh town of Wrexham and he believed it was time to leave but Camilla still chatted with the crowd. He then asked his aids to go and call his wife saying, “Can we try and get her back again? Please, we need to go. I was trying to wait for her, but she goes on,” clearly irritated.

Experts believe that this happened because Charles is under pressure to execute his royal duties to perfection.

“Charles really should have popped back to speak to her in person rather than sounding irritated to other people, or maybe grinned fondly to register ongoing affection,” expert Judy James commented on the matter.

In general, King Charles is mostly in a good mood when in public. He could often be seen smiling and laughing and even sharing jokes with those around him.

Valentine Low, royal correspondent at The Times and author of the royal book Courtiers, Charles is simply putting too much pressure on himself.

“He can vent his fury when things go wrong with his schedule or when he feels that his instructions have not been obeyed, only to calm down moments later when he is assured that his instructions have been followed to the letter after all,” Low told Newsweek.

“‘Oh, thank you so much,’ he will say, the very image of gratitude and contrition. It is a rollercoaster ride, and those close to the king are used to it.

“However, his impatience, according to some close to him, has a deeper cause,” Low wrote in Courtiers. “He acts as if his time is short, which leads to a sense of urgency as if he has only got a few years to get through everything he wants to achieve.

“It goes back to the old observation about Charles: he puts pressure on others because he puts pressure on himself. But the king knows all too well, from his years of frustration as Prince of Wales, that change can be slow to come about.”

Charles and Camilla are usually residing at Birkhall for their summer holiday, but according to the media, the King now wants to follow into his late mother’s footsteps and spend the summer at Balmoral.

Teacher calls parents for an urgent meeting

A six-year-old boy’s drawing and how his teacher reacted to it caused quite a stir on the internet and divided users’ opinions.

Namely, the parents sharing this story explained how the teacher called them one day and said they needed to go to the school for some serious talk.

Before they went to their son’s school they asked him if he did anything wrong, but he simply replied that his teacher didn’t like what he drew.

“We went in the next day and his teacher pulled out the drawing and said, ‘I asked him to draw his family and he drew this, would you mind explaining?’” the father shared on his social media.

The drawing depicted what looked like four people with cords around their necks. And well, if anyone didn’t know what the boy was trying to draw the drawing itself does seem alarming.

The mom and dad explained that the photo actually showed the family snorkeling off the Bahamas.

The dad’s post, however, opened an online discussion of whether the teacher’s act of alarming them over the drawing was justified or not.

Some said that she should have asked the child about it first, but others argued that a six-year-old could not be even telling the truth.

“This is bloody hysteria,” one person wrote. “Seriously, who needs that drama.”

“Emergency meeting over this? I know it’s not the best drawing but I think it’s pretty clear…” another user wrote.

“What kind of teacher was this?” another wondered. “Children are innocent… they take pleasure from innocent drawings.”

Those in favor of the teacher’s reaction said things like, “I would want to know, even if it’s a false alarm… it’s better safe than sorry,” and “The teacher did the right thing. These interventions have saved lives. Seriously.”

Husband speaks out about postpartum depression after wife dies by suicide

In 2018, then 36-year-old Ariana Sutton gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The family was overjoyed since this was the first child the couple welcomed in their lives. However, as everyone believed that their home and their lives would be filled with nothing but joy, Ariana went through something many new moms experience; postpartum depression.

This condition is way more common than one assumes and affects every 1 in 10 women who give birth.

Ariana’s husband, Tyler Sutton, who works as a police officer in Massachusetts said his wife had never experienced any mental issues before she gave birth, but when Melody was born, it was evident Ariana had a hard time.

“We weren’t that familiar with it, so we were very much in the dark, both of us.” Tyler explained. “I came home one morning, and I just couldn’t recognize the person sitting in front of me. So, we dropped my daughter off with her grandmother and got her to the hospital.” Ariana was hospitalized twice but returned to her old self with some medication and treatment. A happy mother and dance instructor, remembered by those who knew her as “warm” and “upbeat.”

A couple of years later, Ariana fell pregnant again, this time with twins.

The babies were born on May 23, 2023, and this time the family was already aware that Ariana could again experience postnatal depression so they were ready to provide as much help as possible. “When we finally got pregnant with the twins, we came up with a plan. We got a team together,” Tyler disclosed.

What happened to her over the span of a few weeks happened this time around within a couple of days,” he said. “And even though we had a plan in place, there was no way for us to predict that this would happen so quickly and so suddenly.” Unfortunately, this mom’s symptoms came on sooner and stronger than they had before and shortly after giving birth to her twins Everly Irene and Rowan Stephen, Ariana committed suicide.

It takes a very strong person to ask for help,” devastated Tyler explained. “If we could just make it the norm asking for help, instead of [women] feeling shame for not being able to do it themselves, because this is a real thing. It is very, very real, very powerful, very dangerous, and shouldn’t be faced [alone].”

The family started a GoFundMe page to help Tyler spread awareness of postpartum depression.

Please share this campaign with your network to raise awareness about postpartum depression and the importance of mental health care during and after pregnancy. By fostering a supportive community, we can strive to prevent other families from experiencing similar tragedies,” the page read.

Tyler also said he wants to see a change in how healthcare providers talk to expectant parents about postpartum depression.

“If there was something that I could start right now, [it would be to] ask the medical community just to make a small change to their routine, and add one more line to their checklist of things to do when they meet with people,” he explained.

We are saddened by this tragic loss of a young mother of three. We hope Tyler stays strong for his three children who will grow up without the love of a mother.
