Meg Ryan makes first appearance in 6 months – and fans say she looks ‘unrecognizable’

Meg Ryan, the America’s sweetheart who was dubbed the “girl next door,” gained fame during the 80’s and 90’s. Landing roles in movies which are considered iconic even today, such as Sleepless in Seattle, she quickly rose to stardom and became a fan favorite actress.

Today, Ryan, who is 61, tends to stay out of the spotlight. In fact, she hasn’t been spotted anywhere for six months, until recently when she made a public appearance to lend support to friend Michael J. Fox at a screening of his forthcoming production, STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie.

The two friends posed together and were all smiles. It was obvious they had a lovely time together, but what many noticed is that Ryan looked somewhat ‘unrecognizable.’

Fans argued that the You’ve Got Mail star has undergone surgical procedures to appear younger, although she spoke of plastic surgeries before and said she hadn’t had any.

Some of the opinions shared online regarding Ryan’s looks were far from flattering.

“This is Meg Ryan,” one Twitter user commented. “Hopefully women will learn from this. Plastic Surgery is for Frankenstein.

“Meg Ryan spent thousands to make herself unrecognizable and hideous,” another added.

“Wtf has Meg Ryan done to her face?!” a third wrote.

One person wrote: “Yikes…just say no to Botox and fillers ladies. Don’t take it from me, take it from Madonna and Meg Ryan.”

In the past, Ryan has made it clear that she’s not affected by the mean comments about her. “I don’t pay a lot of attention, frankly,” she told Porter Magazine in 2015. “There’s a lot of hatred in the world today. It’s so easy to judge. Imagine being a hater, how stupid.”

The screening of Michael J. Fox’s forthcoming production was held at the Alice Tully Hall in the Lincoln Center, New York. Ryan appeared to be at good spirits as she got to meet and pose with Billy Murray and Elvis Costello, among the rest.

STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie features the Back to the Future star’s life with Parkinson’s disease.

He disclosed his condition with the public in 1998 and semi-retired from acting two years later as his health worsened. It took young Michael a lot of time to accept the reality, but he finally decided to make the best out of his life despite the struggles the disease forced him to face.

“Parkinson’s sucks, but it’s a great life, so thank you for it,” the actor said. “Pity is a benign form of abuse. I can feel sorry for myself, but I don’t have time for that. There is stuff to be learned from this, so let’s do that and move on,” he continued.

“You don’t die from Parkinson’s. You die with Parkinson’s. I’ve been thinking about the mortality of it. … I’m not gonna be 80. I’m not gonna be 80.”

Bride killed just moments after saying ‘I Do’

By

-

Aric Hutchinson and Samantha Miller had both said ‘I do’ and looked forward to their life as a married couple, but sadly, their happiness was short-lived after what was supposed to be the best night of their lives ended with a tragedy.

Mere hours after exchanging their vows, the newlyweds left their reception on Folly Beach, an island off the coast of South Carolina, through a canopy of sparklers, and boarded into the back of the low speed vehicle (LSV), a street legal cart, similar to a golf cart. The cart was operated by Aric’s relatives, Benjamin and Brogan Garrett, who were seated at the front. They were just two blocks away from where Aric and Samantha stayed, when a vehicle operated by Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, slammed into the back of the LSV.

Komorski was driving a rent-a-car Toyota.

Tragically, Samantha died of blunt force injuries at the scene of the crash, according to the coroner’s office, while Aric was heavily injured, suffering head injury and broken bones. He remains in critical condition. Benjamin was also seriously injured and hospitalized, with nephew, Brogan facing injuries but being released from hospital on Friday.

Komorski was said to be under the influence at the time of the crash. Data retrieved from her rental car indicated she was driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone, and only briefly hit the brakes before crashing around 10 p.m. Friday on Folly Beach. It was confirmed by the Safety Department Director Andrew Gilreath that the LSV had lights and was legal to drive at night.

“I don’t know what the distraction was, but she literally ran into my daughter going 65 miles an hour. Sammie and Aric were on the back of the golf cart and so she basically just whammed my child,” Samantha’s heartbroken mother, who had danced with her daughter just hours before the tragic crash, said.

YouTube

“We were in our pajamas sitting on the balcony…and started to hear the sirens. And the sirens kept going,” Samantha’s sister, Mandi Jenkins, said. After she texted her sister and there was no response, they drove to the scene and what they saw was horrifying.

Komoroski was charged with reckless vehicular homicide and three counts of driving under the influence causing death. She is facing up to 25 years in prison on each DUI count.

At the police station, Komorski refused to provide a breath sample, but a warrant was issued for two viles of blood, results that are not yet available.

GoFundMe

Aric’s mother, Annette Hutchinson, started a GoFundMe page to help with her son’s medical bills and Samantha’s funeral costs.

“Aric is in serious condition and has had one of two reconstruction surgeries, numerous broken bones, and a brain injury, he will have a long recovery. Ben and Brogan were also injured, Ben seriously.” She added: “I was handed Aric’s wedding ring in a plastic bag at the hospital, five hours after Sam placed it on his finger and they read each other their vows. Aric has lost the love of his life.” This campaign has raised almost $600,000 on Wednesday of its $100,000 goal.

Another GoFundMe page started by Samantha’s sister Mandi helped raise almost $37,000 of its $10,000 goal.

“Samantha was fearless and that’s exactly how she spent the last day of her life. She was so excited to start her life with Aric. She had no nerves or hesitation that day. You could feel the love on the beach.”

We are so very sorry for this devastating loss. May she rest in peace.

Queen Camilla’s grandson suffered major injury before coronation

King Charles and Queen Camilla received their royal crowns at Westminster Abbey in the presence of other royals and prominent guests who witnessed the historic moment.

The coronation that Britain hasn’t seen in over 70 years was celebrated by thousands of fans in the streets of London.

The event started with ‘The King’s Procession,’ when they arrived at Westminster from Buckingham Palace. First came the Recognition, where King Charles – standing beside the Coronation Chair – was presented to the people gathered at the Abbey by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The ceremony then proceeded with the Anointing when the King’s ceremonial robe was removed, and he took his place in the Coronation Chair. The Archbishop of Canterbury anointed the king’s head, breast, and hands with holy oil while a golden cloth was held over the chair to conceal Charles from cameras and those present in the Abbey.

King Charles III was presented with the Royal Orb, which stands for moral and religious authority, the Sceptre, which represents power, and the Sovereign’s Sceptre, a symbol of justice and mercy.

Following the crowning of the King and the Queen, they returned to Buckingham Palace in a ceremonial procession known as ‘The Coronation Procession.’

Both Charles and Camilla had four Pages of Honor who were holding their robes during the ceremony as they walked through Westminster Abbey.

“Throughout the Coronation Service on 6th May, Their Majesties will each be attended by four Pages of Honour. The Pages will form part of the procession through the Nave of Westminster Abbey,” a statement from Buckingham Palace read.

“The King’s Pages of Honour will be His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Master Nicholas Barclay and Master Ralph Tollemache.”

The Queen Consort’s Pages of Honour were Her Majesty’s grandsons, Master Gus and Master Louis Lopes and Master Freddy Parker Bowles, and Her Majesty’s great-nephew, Master Arthur Elliot.

Gus Lopes, the son of Camilla’s daughter Laura Lopes, suffered a broken arm during the weekend but he was still able to proceed with his role of a Page of Honor.

“‘Gus broke his arm in a bike accident while on holiday,’ a family friend tells me. ‘The cast has been removed, but he must have it in a sling on the big day,’” Richard Eden wrote for the Daily Mail.

“Though this is far from ideal, Gus has the appreciable consolation of being completely at ease with his step-grandfather. The bond between them developed when Gus and Louis were very young.”

Eden continued: “Should Gus seek inspiration for remaining steady on parade on Saturday, he need only think of the bravery and stoicism of his great-grandfather, Camilla’s father, Bruce Shand, who was awarded two Military Crosses, as well as being wounded, during his wartime service. Gus’s grandfather, Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles, who commanded the Blues and Royals, will be in the Abbey to provide him with encouragement.”

During the walk, Gus was positioned to the right of Camilla’s robes, so he only had to use his left arm to carry the robe.

Camilla’s grandchildren are close to King Charles. During an occasion, she said, “When we are with my husband in Scotland, he reads them Harry Potter. And he does all the voices, because he is a brilliant mimic. They sit spellbound. They love it.”

When Kate and William married, Camilla’s granddaughter Eliza served as the youngest bridesmaid. All of her grandchildren spent this past Christmas at Sandringham with the rest of the royals.

Man finds 50-year-old wallet inside abandoned locker – the photos inside leave him speechless

Treasure hunting is a hobby for some, but a full time profession for others. Treasure hunters scavenge people’s homes, garages, and basements for treasure and they bid for storage units with unclaimed goods, so they never really know what they will stumble upon. Sometimes, they end up with nothing, but other times, they discover valuable finds.

Anton Lulgjuraj started his journey of buying up old storage units in New York state years ago. He has never found anything life-changing, but he did find a wallet once which made for a newspaper worth story.

When Anton bought a storage, he ended up with a bunch of stuff belonging to an Air Force pilot. What caught Anton’s attention, however, was a small locker. When he cracked it open, he discovered a warn out wallet inside.

The wallet belonged to a woman named Diane Hall. There was a California driver’s license from the late 1960s, an actor’s equity card, and a handful of old photographs inside, which tickled Anton’s curiosity. He wanted to learn more and even try and find the person this wallet belonged to.

As he dig through the Internet, he realized that Diane Hall was in fact actress Diane Keaton.

He thought she would like to have her old wallet so he sent her a message, but didn’t get a response, well, not until his story got picked up by the media.

“I think anybody always hopes that like if they lose a wallet, there’s a hope that, you know, one day you’ll get your wallet back,” Anton said. “And you know, so like, this is great.”

When Diane read the story in New York Daily News, she posted on Instagram that she was delighted with Anton’s find.

“SOMEONE FOUND A WALLET I LOST 50 YEARS AGO! THANK YOU, MR. LULGJURAJ!,” her post read.

“PLEASE DM ME! THIS PHOTO WAS IN IT, I’M ON THE FAR RIGHT, CAN YOU BELIEVE THOSE BANGS?!”

We are glad the Something’s Gotta Give star acknowledged Anton’s discovery.

Cow cries constantly for missing baby, then looks through the fence and loses control

By
Monica Pop

There is nothing a mother wouldn’t do for their little ones. A dog, a cat, or a human, does it make any difference? Separating a mother from her babies is the ultimate act of cruelty, but it seems nothing is sacred to some people, not even family.

A cow named Karma lived on a farm of terrible conditions. The place was rather small and very filthy, so she was eventually rescued and taken to a much better place.

Photo: Gentlebarn/YouTube

However, although she was taken to a much better home, Karma was heavily disturbed and wouldn’t stop crying. That is when one of the rescuers at California’s Gentle Barn Sanctuary noticed that her udders were full of milk and realized she must have recently had a calf. They weren’t told about that and had no idea where the calf could have been.

Photo: Gentlebarn/YouTube

They decided to call the farm where Karma used to live and were told that she had a baby which was on the way to the butcher’s.

Karma’s rescuers knew they needed to do everything in their power to track her calf down. Luckily, the truck the calf was traveling with broke down and it gave enough time for Karma’s rescuers to save her little one too.

Photo: Gentlebarn/YouTube

Once they got to the calf, they calmed Karma down before she and the baby were reunited.

The reunion was a sweet one. You can see it below.

We would like to thank everyone involved in the rescue of Karma and her calf.

Adopted dog returns to shelter 11 times – then staff realize the heartbreaking truth

By
Monica Pop

People working at shelters see all kinds of animals and hear a lot of different stories of why owners decide to surrender their pets. Of course, they don’t always trust those stories and know there is always something more behind the owners’ words. The truth is that many animals do end up in shelters where they spend their days until the right family for them comes along.

Gumby, a beautiful and loving dog, was taken to a Charleston, South Carolina, shelter during the Fall of 2014. The moment they saw him, the shelter staff knew it would be long until Gumpy found his forever home because he was playful and lovable. Well, they were right. Just a few days at the place, someone asked to adopt him. However, they took him back just three days later.

Believe it or not, this happened ten times, two of which showed Gumpy returning to the shelter on his own.

This was sort of a mystery for those working at the shelter, but they soon realized there was a reason why Gumpy didn’t want to leave the shelter. He believed it was his home and he felt as though he was needed there. And that was true. Whenever a new dog walked through the shelter doors, Gumpy was there to greet them with tremendous empathy, and he he would do everything he could to make the newly arrived dogs feel more at home, as they quite often arrived distressed.

Gumpy has become a very important dog not only for the shelter but for the entire community. He was once featured in an annual local firemen calendar to raise money for charity. On top of it, he became a regular blood donor as it turned out his blood group is suitable for both dogs and cats.

We all need someone as lovely and as fascinating as Gumpy in our lives.

Pit bull without a leash rushes towards screaming child, then owner discovers horrible reason why

By
Monica Pop
-

There is no such thing as a bad dog, maybe just bad owners who fail to teach their furry pets the right behavior. When a dog is mistreated, it’s not unusual for them to turn aggressive, but that again, isn’t the dog’s fault.

Out of all dog breeds out there, Pit Bulls are considered to be most vicious. Their bad reputation is a result of humans treatment towards them. They have been used for dog frights for so long that they now stand for aggression. But the Pit bull from this story proves this common believe to be completely wrong by stepping in for a young boy and saving his life.

The story was shared by a woman named Stacie Rae English, the sister of a Pit Bull owner named Hurley.

Facebook/ LoveWhatMatters

Writing for Love what Matters, Stacie explained that her brother Shelby was walking Hurley at around 10 pm and let him off the leash so that he could run around when they heard a young boy screaming so Hurley took off after the scream.

“With my brother close behind, he saw Hurley grab a copper head snake away from the little boy and fling it around, later found out he had killed it. The little boy ran to his mothers vehicle and drove off so fast that my brother was unable to find out any information on the little boy. (We are assuming because they left so fast that he was bitten and being rushed to the ER) My brother then went on to call animal control and the Highland Village Cops showed up to check out the scene,” Stacie wrote.

“They asked to take a look at Hurley to see if he was bitten. To my brothers surprise, he was bleeding, had a swollen neck and foaming from his mouth. Sure enough, they found two puncture wounds in his upper lip. Shelby rushed Hurley to Denton Animal Emergency Hospital where he stayed the night so they could check his blood clotting ability multiple times through out the night.”

Luckily, Hurley was sent home and is doing fine, except his face is still swollen.

Facebook/LoveWhatMatters

“It was later discovered the little boy had come across a copper head nest and hopefully Hurley prevented him from getting bitten, or at least getting bitten multiple times. We are still trying to find out who the little boy is and make sure he is okay. Here’s our hero pit bull. I’d like for his story to get around for those who judge his breed.”

We are glad everything turned out for the best for both Hurley and the boy he saved.

Two nursing home workers caught on tape abusing 98-year-old grandma

By

Minnie Graham’s life in the nursing home was supposed to be peaceful. This 98-year-old lady was admitted to the nursing home with promises that she will miss nothing and she will be under constant care and support. It turned out those promises were not quite true.

One day Minnie started complaining to her family that the staff was mistreating her. She added that the staff’s behavior towards her was awful, particularly that of the nurse that was assigned to take care of her. These claims were not taken too seriously by the family at that moment. However, very soon other signs made them think twice.

Very soon the family witnessed something very shocking. There were bruises on Minnie’s body. Later, she appeared to have a black eye, which made them quite worried. Minnie’s daughter and granddaughters wanted some answers about these horrible things.

The staff told the family that Minnie fell from the wheelchair and got the bruises. They told the family that there was nothing to worry about. But, the family knew there was more than what they were told. 

The granddaughters wanted to find out what was going on. Therefore, they decided to put a camera in Mannie’s room. The camera was hidden in a clock. After some time, the family saw something horrible. They couldn’t believe their eyes!

It turned out that their beloved grandma was abused by two employees, Brenna Tiller and Iwuchukwu Ekechukwu. In one of the footages, they were shows spraying water on Minnie’s face and forcing a cloth into her mouth that had just been used to clean her body.

It took some time for the two cruel workers to be punished for what they did, but through initiative and determination, the family witnessed justice being served before Minnie passed away.

According to Rasansky Law Firm, Ekechukwu was reportedly convicted for a felony with five years of probation and had her nursing home license revoked, but Tiller continued to work at different facility and authorities have been unable to track her down. 

For more on this story go to the video below.

It goes without saying that absolutely no one deserves this sort of treatment, particularly not someone so weak and vulnerable as Minnie.
