‘Happy Days’ Star Scott Baio has had enough with California and has decided to leave for good

LOS ANGELES - DEC 6: Scott Baio at the KIIS FM Jingle Ball 2013 at Staples Center on December 6, 2013 in Los Angeles, CA

Over the couple of years, many big names in the world of film and other celebs have decided to leave California behind and search for other states to settle with their families.

One of them is actor Matthew McConaughey, who moved to his home state of Texas in 2020 because he wanted his children to be raised with the same values as he was and to be closer to his family.

Mark Wahlberg did the same when he sold his $30 million Beverly Hills mansion and moved to Ohio where he owns a Chevrolet dealership and has family.

When Joe Rogan, the famous podcast host, made a decision to leave L.A. back in 2020, he said the reason was the “insane” traffic and high cost of living in the city.

Now, yet another celebrity is saying goodbye to California. Scott Baio, best known for the role of Chachi Arcola on the television series Happy Days, took to Twitter to announce his departure from the place he’s called home for many years. However, the reason he listed divided people’s opinions, and as some supported him, others were harsh on him.

Namely, Baio wrote how he has it enough of the issue of homelessness in L.A.

“After 45 years, I’m making my way to finally ‘exit stage right’ from California. The most recent survey conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority found approximately 69,000 people experiencing homelessness in L.A. County and 41,000 in the city in 2022.”

His tweet caused a stir and comments started pouring in.

“Good for you, Scott,” a Twitter user commented. “You and your family will be much happier. Besides, if CA ever changes, you can go back.”

“Wonderful sir. Hope you find a place where yall can be happy and comfortable. Have a little space left in Texas if you want it. We would love to have you here,” another added. “Congrats. If and when my son leaves we are out of here too. Been here since 1970 it is not the same beautiful state it once was,” a third commented.

But not everyone was happy with Baio’s comment about homelessness.

“Considering you’ve never done anything to help out in the situation after getting wealthy off of us, we will be glad to see you go,” a Twitter user replied in anger. Another person added their experience, “Happy Californian here, especially knowing you are leaving!!”

Some even made jokes at the actor’s expense. “With your lack of work over the last 20 + years – are you one of the homeless?” someone tweeted.

“You exited from relevancy about 30 years ago, who cares?” another person added.

“It’ll be easy to pack up your tent and shopping cart,” another user unhappy with his tweet wrote. “Cause you’ve been out of a career for 40 years too!”

That Baio is serious about moving places speaks the fact that he has his home listed at $3.85 million. The place spans 6,300 square feet and contains five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a home theater. It was purchased in 2010 for $1.85 million.

Harry & Meghan were in a ‘state of panic’ during ‘freedom flight’ from royal life, expert says

When they stepped down from their royal duties and made a shocking decision to leave Britain and settle in sunny California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle believed it was for the best for their family and the privacy they allegedly longed for.

Following their separation from the Firm, many accused the couple of being hypocritical since they claimed they wanted to lead normal lives out of the spotlight but never stopped giving interviews in which they slammed the rest of the royals. They even released a Netflix documentary series and Harry published his best-selling all-tell memoir Spare.

According to the Netflix series, the two were introduced to each other by a mutual friend after Harry spotted her in a video shared by one of his friends and couldn’t help but ask who she was.

The two made plans to meet while Meghan visited London for the Wimbledon tennis tournament. As agreed, Meghan was waiting for Harry at the Soho House in London but he was 30 minutes late.

“I couldn’t understand why he would be late,” Meghan said in the series. “But he kept texting. He was like, ‘I’m in traffic. I’m so sorry.’” 

“I was panicking, I was freaking out,” Harry added. “I was, like, sweatin’.”

Meghan explained that because she didn’t know Harry, she wondered if he was usually late.

“I was like, ‘Oh, is this what he does?’ Got it. Like this, I’m not doing. I’m not gonna sit…..” 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Harry interfered. 

“Like you’re one of those guys who have so much of an ego that any girl would sit waiting for a half hour for you,” Meghan continued. “I was just not interested in that.” 

Once Harry walked into the restaurant, though, Meghan quickly realized him being late wasn’t part of any tactic or plan.

“I was a hot, sweaty, red ball of mess,” Harry recalled. 

“You were just so sweet,” Meghan added. “You were genuinely so embarrassed and late.” 

Following their first date, Harry thought to himself: “This woman is amazing. She is everything that I’ve been looking for.”

Netflix

However, soon after they tied the knot, Harry and Meghan started experiencing issues with the rest of the royals, some which were revealed during the infamous Oprah interview.

When they announced what was referred to as Megxit, things between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals turned heated. But now it seems that the decision to departure from Harry’s family wasn’t an easy one.

Harry and Meghan said they had decided “after many months of reflection and internal discussions.”

“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen,” the statement read.

The couple added that they planned to spend time both in the UK as well as North America while “continuing to honor our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.”

“This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity,” the couple said.

Speaking of how the family received the news, Harry said they were outraged and William began “screaming and shouting” at him during the meeting with then-Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II to outline how he and Meghan were stepping down from their working roles.

“I went in with the same proposal that we’d already made publicly but once I got there I was given five options. One being all-in, no change. Five being all out. I chose option three in the meeting. Half in, half out. Have our own jobs but also work in support of the queen. But it became very clear very quickly, that goal was not up for discussion or debate,” Harry said.

“It was terrifying. To have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren’t true and my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there and sort of take it all in.”

Harry made this public on the Netflix documentary.

“I mean, the saddest part of it was the wedge created between myself and my brother so that he’s now on the institution’s side,” Harry said.

“And part of that I get, I understand. That’s his inheritance. So, to some extent it’s already ingrained in him that part of his responsibility is the survivability and the continuation of this institution.”

The final episode featured the couple on a plane to California, with Harry telling his then-baby Archie to say hi and putting his finger on the mouth as a sign of ‘shhh,’ while Meghan could be heard telling her son that they go where mommy is from.

And although this image portrayed them as both free and happy family, royal experts claim just the opposite. What the Sussexes referred to as to “the freedom flight,” was allegedly far from one according to body language expert Darren Stanton who believes the couple was in a state of panic.

“There was a real sense of urgency in both Harry and Meghan’s faces as they flew to California. Even though they were thousands of feet above the ground, they both lowered their voices as if they didn’t want to be heard,” Stanton said in December, shortly after the Netflix documentary episode was released.

“The couple were obviously in a state of panic to get out of Canada, where they felt exposed. Both Meghan and Harry looked really tired and stressed, while Meghan’s mother also showed empathy for the situation.”

The body language expert concluded: “The fact that Harry called it a ‘freedom flight’ truly explains his mindset at the time. He very much saw it as a cat-and-mouse game, which was a time-sensitive operation.”

“He seems a lot more settled and relaxed in the rest of the documentary compared to the scene of them on the plane. It was very much a turbulent period for Harry and Meghan.”

17-year-old who went missing in 2015 while walking his dogs found injured, but alive 8 years later

Back in 2015, a 17-year-old boy named Rudy Farias of northwest Houston, Texas, went outside to walk his two dogs and never returned home. He was reported missing shortly after and his family hasn’t heard of him until recently when he was found outside a church with cuts and bruises all over his body and blood in his hair.

Rudy was unresponsive and is currently recovering in a hospital.

He went missing on March 6, 2015, and authorities searched for him for several days before they suspended the search. After his dogs returned home without Rudy, the search continued bu only for a day.

At the time of his disappearance, the teenager was suffering from anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic disorder. His family was highly concerned because he wasn’t taking his medications after he went missing and assumed he was possibly disoriented because of that.

On Sunday, July 2, 2023 the Texas Center for the Missing revealed Rudy had been “located safe.”

“Please continue to keep his family in your prayers as Rudy recovers in the hospital,” the organization posted on Twitter.

Rudy’s recovery is expected to be a long one because he’s still in a very fragile health state and only stays curled in a fetal position. He’s only able to say a few words at a time.

His mother believes that now 25-year-old Rudy has been abused during the eight years he was missing.

However, just the thought that he’s home after so much time brings happiness to his family who are ready to do everything in their power to help their son no matter how much time and effort it takes.

We pray for Rudy’s speedy recovery and we truly believe he’d be able to start his life over after everything he’s gone through.

Russell Crowe, 59, makes worrying claim about his future – ‘You will never hear from me again’

New Zealand born actor Russell Crowe has become a fan favorite the moment he became part of the film industry. With films such as Gladiator and Beautiful Mind, he has made a name for himself and treated his fans with plenty of roles and impeccable acting skills over the years.

However, as he’s reaching his sixties, he has second thoughts of whether his place is still in Hollywood or he needs to pursue other things in life.

Recently, at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, the actor has given supporters cause for alarm when he openly pondered the prospect of an early retirement from the film industry. He added that there is a great chance that fading into obscurity may provide him with a better life.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – JANUARY 28: Russell Crowe is seen at the Women’s Singles Final match between Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan during day 13 of the 2023 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 28, 2023 in Melbourne. (Photo by Andy Cheung/Getty Images)

“You are standing in front of the mirror, and go: Who the f— is that?’ I am in that period now,” he said, as per the Vanity Fair. “I will take Ridley Scott as my role model: he is still discovering new things in his work. Or I will just stop and you will never hear from me again. I haven’t decided what it’s going to be. These are two very valid choices.”

Ridley Scott is now 85 years old and according to his IMDb page he’s working on around 20 different projects. Scott and Crowe worked together on Gladiator. Crowe on the other hand is apparently working on eight projects at the time. Speaking of the films, Crowe said, “In order to release them, I have to make them legally comfortable. And to me, that destroys the point. So I just have to wait longer, wait for some people to die, and then I can put them out.”

We truly hope Russell Crowe will reconsider whatever he’s thinking about retiring from Hollywood.

Father praised for choosing to carry his large dog instead of his young son

TikTok video shared by user Luz Elena gathered thousands of views and as many comments for the sweetest reason ever.

Namely, she caught a glimpse of a father walking down the street holding his young son’s arm and carrying a gray Pit Bull in his arms. She captured the video “When your priority is your dog, not the child,” initiating a discussion of whether he was right or wrong for carrying the dog instead of the child.

The boy’s mom could be seen walking behind them and pulling a child’s three-wheeled stroller or bike that was carrying a large boxed item. Some of the users joked that the boy was ‘forced’ to walk because his mom ‘has stolen’ his bike.

“No one noted the mother pushing the tricycle in the rear. Mom put something in the trike, so the child is now walking. Perhaps the dog is ill?” one person wrote. Others gave other possible explanations of why the man was carrying his large dog in his arms. “This is actually super sweet. The pavement is probably way too hot for the dogs paws so he is carrying him.”

https://www.tiktok.com/@lega819/video/7092989940115524869

However, most, if not all, of the comments praised the father. Many wrote that he was very devoted, responsible, and caring.

“He is (showing) a lot of empathy and responsibility for his pet and his son because he takes him by the hand. a thousand blessings,” someone wrote while another person added: “Super dad. I would have done the same. Kid has shoes on and the doggy doesn’t. It looks hot too. Plus his mom was there maybe he wanted to walk.”

So far, the cute video has been seen nearly 5 million times.

It is refreshing to see how compassionate some people are when it comes to animals and their well-being.

Mom slammed online for dragging her baby through airport on a leash

Being a parent is one of the best things a person can experience. But with the little bundles of joy come great responsibilities and most moms and dads find themselves torn between a bunch of commitments as they do their best to find ways of dealing with the tantrums of their children.

The truth is that those people who still don’t have children on their own are easy to judge others for their parenting although they are completely unaware of what moms and dads out there experience when it comes to their kids.

A video taken back in 2019 which emerged online recently has caused quite a stir on the social media. Namely, it shows a mom at an airport dragging her little son to the floor with a leash tightened on his chest.

As expected, a huge number of people judged her for her action and accused her of being a bad parent, but there were also those who said they could understand her as children can be very difficult at times and this was the only way she knew of in order to get over of whatever situation the little one put her in.

The video was shared on TikTok by user @cacadoodledoo83 (Erica Shupe Hall) with the caption, “Leaving Cancun is tough…I feel ya, buddy.”

The clip gathered millions of views and thousands of comments.

“My OCD would not allow me to drag my child on that dirty floor. I’d rather pick him up, but I guess I’m different,” one person wrote. “Horrible parent. That’s child abuse,” another added. “I just carry mine at that point. I’m not dragging them in that dirty floor,” a third wrote. Another person who judged the mother wrote, “There is a difference, in my opinion, [between] using a harness for the safety of your child and dragging the child with it on the ground. I wouldn’t do that to my dog, and I sure as hell wouldn’t do it to my child.”

Those who stood by the mom’s side and agreed how they feel her pain of dealing with misbehaving children commented as well. “Lmao! Do what you gotta do momma,” a user that goes by the name Sophia wrote. “I’m not saying it’s right… I’m saying I understand! Show me a perfect parent who has never made an error in judgment or hasn’t done whatever they could to survive the day,” someone else added.

The rest of the comments were, “I don’t see any issue with this. Although she could’ve probably carried him, he seems okay to be pulled along. If the kid were [distressed], he would have been making a scene,” and “I had a harness and leash for my five kids. I never lost them. They never got hurt. They were safe and liked the independence of not having to hold my hand. I don’t recall ever having to drag them like this, but I understand how it could happen.”

No matter what your thoughts on this situation are there is one thing we need to remember and that’s that we shouldn’t be quick to pass judgments because every family is facing their own struggles and battling their own battles.

Man saves puppies but quickly realizes his big mistake

What was supposed to be a clean-up of the garden turned into an eventful day for a man named Craig Mcgettrick and his co-worker.  

Under an old mattress they were planning to get rid of for some time, they found a litter of puppies. The little ones seemed to be abandoned as their mother was nowhere to be seen.

They waited for some time but to no avail.

It was then that Craig assumed someone who knew they would be moving the mattress left them there on purpose.

Unable to take care of five puppies, Craig and his friend decided it would be for the best if they took the little ones to the nearest shelter.

They bought a huge box and headed towards the shelter. However, before leaving the puppies, they took some photos of them that they later uploaded on their social media. The shelter did the same, praising Craig for saving the babies.

However, a week passed by and someone who knew animals all too well realized that the babies weren’t in fact puppies, and everything took a completely different turn.

“A very sweet lady found us on Facebook and sent us images of these puppies and asked us if there was any chance that they were, in fact, fox puppies,” the shelter wrote.

After further inspection it was determined that the puppies were in fact baby foxes.

The shelter staff then contacted Craig and explained that it would be for the best if he took the fox puppies back to where he found them. They assumed that the mother fox used the mattress as a den in order to raise her babies inside.

Once Craig agreed and took the box with the puppies back in his garden, a mature fox appeared and rushed towards the babies.

She quickly snatched each of them and disappeared into the nearby woods.

Everyone was happy and relieved because they knew the little ones would be better off with their mother into the wild than at any shelter out there.

We are so glad this family of foxes reunited.
