The number of school shootings taking place in America is outrageous and alarming. In 2022 only, there were 51 school shootings that resulted either in injuries or deaths, and parents out there are afraid for their children’s safety.

On March 27, 2023, a deadly shooting took place at the Covenant School, a private Christian elementary school in the Green Hills area. Sadly, three nine-year-old students and three staff members lost their lives. The shooter, who has been identified as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, was fatally shot by responding police officers at the scene. Hale was armed with three guns, including a semi-automatic rifle.

The news of the tragic incident took the country by storm and shocked millions of people who were deeply saddened.

One of the people who took to the social media to share their condolences and express their concern over the tragedy was Caroline Bryan, the wife of country singer Luke Bryan. She said how she starts every day with a prayer together with her children and the children of her late sister and her late brother-in-law whom she and Bryan took under their care.

She spoke of the uncertainty many parents feel when they send their children to school, or as she stated, to an unknown future.

“Every morning, I hop into the car with my boys and we always say our morning prayers,” she wrote. “As soon as the kids are out of the car at school, I always say another prayer to keep the kids safe from any harm…and my brain is always thinking about a shooting,” she continued. “This is horrific that parents, teachers, kids…anyone working at a school has to worry about shootings every damn day. Something has to change. Now.”

Before speaking of the shooting, she shared a photo of the Covenant School and a passage from Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

She added that we should not allow to make children feel unsafe and insecure when they go to school.

Other celebrities who have expressed their concern and condolences, as well as their outrage because of the tragic shooting are Reba McEntire, Carly Pearce, Randy Houser, Sheryl Crow, and others.

We are so very sorry for the loss of innocent lives.

Two puppies fall into pit with a cobra – 48 hours later animal heroes are shocked

What we believe distinguishes humans from animals is our ability of complex reasoning, the use of language, and the ability to feel and express different emotions, and although this is true, animals are in fact able to experience many emotions too. This has been proven to be accurate many times, and this story which comes from Punjabi, India, is yet another example of that.

India is known as a country with a huge number of stay dogs and they seem to be unable to resolve this issue.

Source: YouTube

One day, two stray puppies wondered off and lost their mother. Unfortunately, they fell into a deep pit and were unable to get out. There, in the pit, was a huge king cobra. This sounded trouble because everyone believed that the snake would kill the puppies, but to the surprise of many, the opposite happened. The cobra stayed by the puppies side making sure they don’t end up to the more dangerous part of the well.

The puppies stayed at the same spot for 48 hours before someone came to their rescue.

The rescuers were afraid that the cobra could hurt the doggies when they would try to take them out, but once the cobra spotted the humans, it just moved politely, making a way for them to do their job.

This stunned many and showed everyone that day that animals do have the ability to stand for one another when needed.

Jacqueline Bisset, who has been considered one of the most beautiful women of Hollywood and whose career spans nearly six decades, is still active filming besides being 78. What’s most, she doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

Most recently, this gorgeous lady appeared in the French thriller The Lodger where she portrayed a role of a sassy femme fatale, and in the film Loren & Rose in which she played the role of Rose, an actress who’s trying to re-establish her career but is considered to be a “little zany and a bit unreliable.”

Over the years, Bisset played in a number of movies, most of which still hold the status of being iconic.

Among the rest, she played the sultry seductress Miss Goodthighs in the spy parody Casino Royale (1967), a devoted mother in Sleepy Time Gal (2001), First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in America’s Prince: The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story (2003) and Anna Karenina (1985) in the love story of the same name.

Other prominent films Bisset appeared in are Murder on the Orient Express (1974), The Deep (1977), Wild Orchid (1990), her Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated role in Joan of Arc (1999), her Golden Globe-winning role in the miniseries Dancing on the Edge (2013), Miss You Already (2015) and Birds of Paradise (2021). The list goes on and on and it’s safe to say that Bisset has a lot to be proud of when it comes to her rich career.

When it comes to her love life, what we know us that Bisset has never been married because as she says, she’s too independent in order to be able to commit. However, over the years, she has been linked to some very handsome men. Rumors are that Frank Sinatra had a crush on her, but she dated Bullitt co-star, Hollywood bad boy, Steve McQueen at the time. The two, however, were too different to be able to function as they wished to.

“He was attractive, but a little scary. I was very English and he was a hip American. The way he talked would have driven me mad–I didn’t know what a dude or a soul chick was!” she told The Daily Mail, referring to McQueen.

“I’ve had some very interesting men in my life. They have been a handful. I don’t choose easy men, I’m told,” the actress who also dated Canadian actor Michael Sarrazin, the ballet dancer Alexander Godunov and actor Vincent Pérez said. “Sometimes you get too much information when you spend time with people. You start to see things–bad habits. You start to discover them and then you have to marry bad habits and I’m not sure I can cope with them. I don’t ever have bad relationships. I haven’t broken up angry. I’ve just moved out of situations that have been overwhelming.”

When she was 69, and after 47 years since her first ever nomination, Bisset won the Golden Globe for her portrayal as Lady Cremone in the BBC series Dancing on the Edge.

Even today, Bisset looks as stunning as ever and she definitely defies age. She has aged naturally and has never undergone a plastic procedure to enhance her looks as she believes there is nothing better than the natural. “I believe, if you want to look good, you’ve got to forgive everybody. It’s the best beauty treatment,” she said during her Golden Globe award acceptance speech.  “I don’t think [plastic surgery] makes you look younger. It makes you different,” she said.

It is beautiful when people love and accept themselves the way they are, just like Bisset. She is true representation of the glamour Hollywood once possessed and remains one of the best and most successful actresses ever who has a lot more to give to the world of film.

Family house burns to ground with baby inside when mom sees pit bull dragging baby out by her diaper

By

A tragedy is a terrible thing, and Latana Chai, a mother from California, knows all about tragedy having suffered a terrible blow recently.

The most terrible and completely unexpected happened one day when she was at home with her seven-month-old baby girl Masailah.

Masailah incidentally is around about the size of the family’s pit bull, called Sasha, who is eight months old.

Approximately midnight on the June 3rd, all of a sudden, mum heard Sasha barking and scratching furiously at the back door.

The dog’s barking was really loud and she was trying to tell them something important, she started to feel a rush of urgency and the panic started to set in. She knew that there was something wrong, this was quite unlike the dog and there must be a real and urgent problem…

The dog was usually quite placid and a really great member of the family, loving, gentle, kind and playful…

Photo: YouTube

She opened up the door and saw black smoke and flames coming out of the neighboring house. The fire was spreading fast to Latana’s house, too.

In an attempt to get her baby out of the house before the flames spread even further, Latana ran to Masailah’s room as fast as she could. However, Sasha was already there. Latana watched in complete amazement and shock at how the family pit bull bit he baby’s diaper and dragged her to safety.

Mom couldn’t believe her eyes, but she grabbed the baby and the dog and went outside. Without their wonderful Sasha’s warning it could well have been too late, and they could have been caught in the flames.

Photo: YouTube

Sasha has been a lovely dog, and there since Masailah’s birth, so it’s very clear that the two share a special bond together, very sweet!

Giant wolf sits down next to this woman, now watch the moment when their eyes meet

By

Most wild animals are fascinating creatures, and although we can only admire their beauty from a safe distance, getting a chance to get closer to them feels surreal.

Well, the staff at the famous Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, an animal sanctuary located near Colorado Springs, get to be around wolves every day. What’s most, they hang out with them, and even get the chance to pet them and cuddle with them.

One of the wolves who has been born and raised in the sanctuary is gorgeous Kekoa, whose name stands for “brave one” in Hawaiian.

Although he’s very big, Kekoa is in fact a gentle giant who loves spending time with humans, particularly a woman named Danielle.

These two share a special bond which fascinates many. Watching them playing and cuddling feels surreal, especially because Kekoa is way bigger than Danielle. He weighs in at 115 pounds and when he places his front paws up on a persons shoulders he comes in at about 7 feet tall!

The video which caught the attention of many showing the two friends playing gets even better when another wolf, Sakara, comes along and asks for a cuddle.

“Since he was raised by people and bottle fed from the time he was born, he is very well socialized, meaning he enjoys the company of people. This is not the same as domesticated or tame. He is still a ‘wild’ animal, and he does tend to show it when he is around his sister. A wolf in the wild would not act this way.”

The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center gives guided, educational tours which help teach people of the importance of wolves for the ecosystem. They organize various events such as Paw Day, Meet a Wolf Day, Halw-O-Ween, and a lot more.

Colorado has not been home to wild wolves since the 1940s, but it looks like they will return soon.

Shania Twain, 57, reveals decision to pose naked for cover: ‘I don’t need to hide behind the clothes’

By

Born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario, on August 28, 1965, Shania Twain and her two sisters were brought up by their mother and her husband Jerry Twain, whom they considered a real dad as their biological father didn’t have much to do with their upbringing.

They didn’t have much while growing up but  despite that, Shania never really shared details of her life with anyone because she was afraid that authorities could break her family apart if they knew how bad they lived and how much they struggled.

Shania started doing gigs at the age of eight.

She performed at rural bars, and when she reached 13, she got to perform on the Tommy Hunter Show, a legendary country music variety show that aired on CBC Television and ran for 27 years. When she was 21, she relocated to Toronto, and just a year later, when both her parents died, she almost gave up on music in order to raise her two sisters and two brothers. “I thought, my family comes first. I have to take care of them. I didn’t even think of my future… I’m lucky I got the job at Deerhurst, because it was music. I didn’t know where I was going to go from there,” the singer said.

“I feel like I’ve been this tree with good sturdy roots for 30 years, then all of a sudden someone comes along and is trying to cut me down, cut a part me off,” Shania said of the loss of her parents.

“It was a very, very difficult time. But it was also a turning point in my life that, I think, matured me, brought me up to where I should have been in the first place at that age,” she told CBC.

Eventually, her enchanting music and hits such as Come on Over that topped the charts for a very long time, helped the ‘Queen of Country Pop,’ take the world by storm.

Recently, she made headlines as she posed topless for a photoshoot done for the cover her of her latest single, Waking Up Dreaming.

Speaking of it, the 57-year-old star said she was comfortable doing the shoots.

“This is me expressing my truth. I’m comfortable in my own skin, and this is the way I am sharing that confidence,” she told People Magazine. “I think the best fashion is confidence, and whatever you wear… if you’re wearing it with that, it’s fashionable. I am a woman in my late 50s, and I don’t need to hide behind the clothes. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to do nude shooting. I was just so unashamed of my new body… It’s really liberating.”

The photo portrays Shania kneeling on the ground sporting a white skirt and tie-dyed pink boots and completing the look with a white cowboy hat. She has her arms in front of her body.

Back in 1993, she decided to go bra-less and show off her midriff for her What Made You Say That music video. “From the very beginning… the very first video… I was ditching the bra,” she shared with People.

“But, I was a lot firmer then, so as I grew older, I started feeling a different pressure of, ‘Well, your breasts are not as plump as they used to be. Your skin is not as tight as it used to be. Maybe you should start covering it up a little bit more.’”

Of course, over the years, she has faced insecurities when it came to her body but that served as inspiration for the boldness she hopes to convey in her upcoming project.

“I hit this wall and was like, ‘Whoa, my confidence is regressing. My courage is dulling. Why am I allowing this? Frig that. I am not regressing. I am embracing my body as it changes, as I should have from my childhood to my teens, as I should be from my taut, 20s and 30-year-old self… I’m not going to be shy about it. I want to be courageous about it, and I want to share that courage in the artwork that I am directing,” she said.

Kathy Bates health: Actress ‘went berserk’ after diagnosis of ‘incurable’ condition

By
Monica Pop

If you believe that Hollywood celebrities are way different than we are, touching stories like this one are a reminder that they are just ordinary people like us who experience pain and go through things. 

In her latest interview with Dr.Phill, the academy award winner Kathy Bates opens up about her illness and what she had to endure without sharing it with the rest of the world.

Out of the blue, life gave her the toughest role she ever had to play, that of a real life fighter and a warrior that had to beat cancer for the second time.

Back in 2012 she gathered the strength and told US Weekly, “It’s no secret that I am an ovarian cancer survivor, nine years and counting. But few know that several weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer.” Explaining what it looks like to be diagnosed with this disease, she says, “You think American Horror Story is scary? You should’ve been in that room with me.”

YouTube

After she was told the devastating news that she suffers from ovarian cancer back in 2003, her ordeal started taking place. She had undergone multiple painful surgeries and nine months of chemotherapy but decided not to share it with anyone. She told PEOPLE:

“I didn’t tell anybody. I continued to work right after the operation, doing Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy. My agent at the time was very old-school and didn’t want me to be the poster child for ovarian cancer. I didn’t want anyone to know, but it really took a lot out of me.”

Her strong will helped her overcome the situation and be cancer free up until that moment when her doctor told her she was back on the start. She had cancer again. She wondered whether that would mean walking the same path of pain and suffering all over again. 

YouTube

After she learned she had breast cancer, she wasn’t that surprised because as she says, “breast cancer runs like a river in my family.” After she shared this with her followers, she opted for a double mastectomy in hopes of preventing it from spreading any further. 

This time she decided to turn her tragedy into inspiration for other women. This brave lady didn’t lose her vibrant personality along the way and in one occasion she even joked saying, “I don’t miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry’s Law,” and thanked her fans for all the support they’ve provided during her tough times. 

She did her best to replace the plate of sour green tomatoes her life served her with one of Fried Green Tomatoes instead, and we are lucky she did it. 

YouTube

Currently, Kathy Bates is cancer free, but the disease left her with a condition known as lymphedema which isn’t curable and affects around 30 percent of breast cancer survivors. It is a result of the removal of her lymph nodes. Unfortunately, she is experiencing pain and swelling that makes her feel uncomfortable. 

“It’s a souvenir you definitely don’t want. I really felt that life was over for me. I probably wouldn’t work again, and I was angry for a long time.”

This whole experience made her speak about her condition publicly in hopes of inspiring other women to do regular check-ups and to know they are not alone in their battle. Bates also became an ambassador for the Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN). 

“I’m grateful my hardships have given me a purpose. Funny how that happens.”

Below is her interview where she gets brutally honest about what it feels like to face the battles she fought.

Goldie Hawn shows her natural look walking makeup free in broad daylight

By
Monica Pop

Seeing how flawless celebrities look all the time makes most of us lose our confidence about our own physical appearance. But then we think of all the stylists and makeup artists who work for them and when we stumble upon paparazzi photos showing their “true” faces, we realize it’s sometimes all for the public.

The good thing is that many famous people tend to go makeup free so that the world can see they are just normal people like us under all the glamour. Among the celebrities who posted no make up selfies recently are Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston.

Wikipedia

Goldie Hawn, on the other hand, believes that Hollywood standards aren’t that easy to fight against. This beauty, who will be 75 this year, says, “You think you’re going to fight the system? You think you’re going to prove to Hollywood when you hit 45 that you’re still a sexy, viable object? No. There’s a certain reality. Does it make me angry? No. I’m not an angry person. I’m not a militant person. Anger doesn’t get you anywhere. It’s not productive.”

Over the years, Hawn never lost the status of America’s sweetheart. She’s been on the screen for a very long time and besides her talent, it was her distinctive blonde hair and her natural looks that made her one of our all time favorites.

Hawn, who is a grandma of six, was featured on the cover of People Magazine’s “Beautiful Issue” and everyone agrees she looks as stunning as ever.

Speaking of her looks, she says how she learned how to love herself as she took parts in more and more movies. Of course, she doesn’t expect everyone else to love the way she looks and says, ”Some people think that you’re beautiful; some people think you’re ugly. They voice a lot of opinions, so you then have to become resilient to it – and to do that you have to learn and to understand who you are and what you really think about yourself. And that’s where I think I learnt about my inner beauty.”

Some time ago, she was in the spotlight because of a photo taken by the paparazzi showing her without any make up on in broad daylight. A lot of people said she looked unrecognizable. Others praised her for her carefree attitude.

Hawn says she takes great care of her skin. ”One of the most important things of all is sleep. Getting enough sleep is so important – as are things like ingesting good oils, making sure you keep your face soft by removing dead skin, and using sun guard every day. I also take the time to really massage my creams into my face.”

“There are great creams out there. Creams with this and creams with that, but I ingest oil,” said Hawn revealing her beauty secret is olive oil. “The skin is our biggest organ, and as you get older, you get drier. I ingest two tablespoons of olive oil before bed and massage my face.”

So, according to what she told Pop Sugar, her secret is in applying two tablespoons of olive oil on the face before going to bed and massaging it.

In an interview with BE Ageless, Hawn said, “I don’t know if I’d call it beauty, or more just ‘taking care of.’ I wash my face every night and I massage it for about three minutes and then I put creams on my face and I go to sleep. And then I wake up in the morning and do the same thing!”

She continued, “I put on a little sun guard in the morning when I remember and the rest of it is just making sure that you’re hydrated and that you eat a lot of oil-based foods or oils, and smile a lot.”

I think Hawn looks awesome the way she is. She has a great life, a rich career, and a partner who loves her unconditionally. She and Kurt Russel have been together for almost four decades but never got married, and according to her, that’s the secret to a long relationship.

The two played in some films together, including the romantic comedy Overboard. Recently, they starred in The Christmas Chronicles in the roles of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.

Makeup or no, Goldie Hawn is a real beauty. You just have to love her!
