Melania Trump won’t stand by her husband Donald during trial, former White House aide claims

Donald Trump, the property-tycoon-turned-politician who served as the 45th president of the United States, was indicted on Thursday for his role in a hush money scheme prior to the 2016 election. He is the first U.S. president in American history to be indicted.

The investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which began while Trump was still serving as president, is related to a $130,000 payment made by Trump’s then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 elections. Allegedly, Trump tried to prevent Daniels from going public about an alleged affair with him years earlier. He has denied ever having an affair with Daniels.

Trump is now facing 34 felony counts for falsification of business records.

Following the indictment, Trump released a statement, describing it a “witch-hunt” that will “backfire massively” on President Joe Biden.

“The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he wrote.

The former president has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in the matter and pleaded “not guilty.”

A source “who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president” told Yahoo that Trump was not put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell, or forced to have a mugshot taken.

Trump’s team argued that requests for cameras in the courtroom should be denied “because it will create a circus-like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns, and is inconsistent with President Trump’s presumption of innocence.”

While Trump is facing all these charges and his family is there to provide support, the world hasn’t heard a peep from his wife, Melania, who according to reports, won’t be supporting him in the courtroom.

“Melania is leading her own life and still feels happy being at Mar-a-Lago, surrounded by people who love her and who never talk about reality or bad things about her husband,” a source told People.

People close to her claim she’s far from happy with the situation her husband has found himself in. “She remains angry and doesn’t want to hear [the alleged hush money payment] mentioned,” the source told People. “She is aware of who her husband is and keeps her life upbeat with her own family and a few close friends.”

Stephanie Grisham, former White House aid, told Inside Edition, “I would be very, very surprised. I would be very surprised to see her in court. Because it has to do with Stormy Daniels. It’s just not in her to stand by her man for something like that.

“She’s not lending him a whole lot of moral support, and I’m sure she’s still thinking: ‘You got yourself into this mess. I’m certainly not going to walk beside you and support you as you try to get out of it,’” she added.

Grisham recalled the time Melania learned of the affair and was disgusted with Donald. “She always said to me, ‘this is his problem,’” Grisham recalled.

Besides this, Melania has also spoken to people close to her that she doesn’t want to be a First Lady again and that she’s not happy with Donald’s plans to run for president in the 2024 elections.

“Being the first lady again is not what she wants,” one person close to the Trump family told CNN back in September. “For her, it was a chapter — and it’s over, and that’s that.” One of the main reasons for this is that Melania loves living a life out of the spotlight and away from the public eye.

Jennifer Lopez mourns 

The tragic passing of the well-known DJ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, 40, who was part of The Ellen DeGeneres Show from 2014 to the show’s conclusion earlier this year, left many in devastation.

With his passing, the world of dance lost a legend.

The saddest part of this loss is the fact that this man who brought laughter and joy wherever he went was suffering in silence and was battling depression. Sadly, not many were aware of his condition as he hid it behind his gorgeously infectious smile.

tWitch’s unrivaled energy and creativity made him a vital part of the dance community and those who knew him will never forget him and his choreography which was known and recognized far and wide.

Many celebrities who knew tWitch took to the social media to share their condolences and show love and support to his family, wife Allison Holker and his three children.

Nigel Lythgoe, the creator and judge of the show So You Think You Can Dance, tWitch was part of, said he was “heartbroken and grieved” and “at a loss to understand how someone as adored and inspirational to so many people as Stephen was would feel they are in such a dark place that they have no choice but to take their life.”

“With Twitch, it’s incomprehensible to me,” he stated. “He was always cheerful and smiling. Every person he met admired him. Today will be a terrible day for the dance community, but my thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Allison and their children.

Ellen DeGeneres was among the first to post of her friend’s passing. “I’m heartbroken,” she wrote alongside a photo of her and tWitch hugging on the stage of her show. “tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children – Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.”

Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States, who frequently appeared on the Ellen show, posted an Instagram photo of Boss’s family with the caption, “I was heartbroken to learn about the passing of Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who I got to know over the years through my Let’s Move! Initiative and visits to The Ellen Show.”

Among those who were left devastated by this loss was singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.

Lopez shared plenty of photos of her and tWitch with whom she worked in the World of Dance. “Twitch has such a beautiful and shining soul. Astounded and heartbroken. “Love and strength to @sir twitch a lot, his wife, and their children,” she wrote.

We are so very for this loss.

‘Incredibly painful,’ says Ellen DeGeneres, ‘I had no idea that was a symptom’

The Coronavirus pandemic which was at its height in 2020 affected the way we live and staying positive and optimistic seemed like the only reasonable thing if we didn’t want to crush mentally. Many people lost their jobs and were struggling to make ends meet as a number of businesses closed. Today, the virus isn’t as spread, but sadly, that doesn’t meant its not there.

Unfortunately, many of those who were affected by the virus were left with prolonged symptoms, such as problems with their lungs and breathing.

At the time, not many doctors listed back pain as one of the symptoms, but recently, they discovered that people experiencing such pain could likely be related to the coronavirus.

One of the people who struggled with back pain after contracting the virus is host Ellen DeGeneres.

She was the host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show for almost nineteen years before she decided it was time to end it in 2022. “I truly have felt like next season was the right time” to bring it to a close, she said, and added: “The truth is, I always trust my instincts. My instinct told me it’s time.”

Ellen contracted the virus although she followed “proper precautions.” Back then, in December 2020, she declared that she was “100%” before going on to explain something about the condition that medical professionals “don’t tell you.”

During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” along with Billie Joe Armstrong and musical guests Jimmie Allen & Brad Paisley, Ellen opened up about her health condition and said, “I feel fantastic. What they don’t tell you is that you will have severe back pain. I had no notion that was a symptom until I spoke with a few other people.

“Who would have thought?” “How so?” Ellen wondered. “I’m having back pain.”

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) did not formally include back pain as a Covid symptom at the start of the pandemic. Interestingly, one of them was “muscle or bodily aches.” Other symptoms listed included fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, tiredness, headache, the new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.

However, more and more people declared they have also experienced severe back and muscle pain.

According to the NHS website, “many patients will have had some aches and pains before becoming unwell with Covid.

“Illness may have resurfaced or worsened these difficulties.”

Luckily, Ellen was able to get well quickly.

Hugh Jackman reveals truth after confirming new cancer scare

Hugh Jackman, The Greatest Showman star, experienced yet another health scare after he was forced to undergo multiple operations over the years because of skin cancer.

Jackman was first diagnosed back in 2013 when he visited a doctor after a makeup artist on the crew of X-Men spotted an abnormality on his nose. From that moment one, Jackman was diagnosed with the same form of cancer five more times and he has now revealed that he is once again undergoing tests.

In a video that he posted on the social media, on which Jackman could be seen wearing a bandage on his nose, he says, “The doctors saw something that was a little irregular, so they took a biopsy and they’re getting it checked.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, basal cell carcinoma is one of the two most common types of skin cancer. It begins in the basal layer of the skin and can usually be cured, but can also be disfiguring. In people with this form of non-melanoma skin cancer, the treatment is successful at 9 out of 10 of them.

As always, Jackman used the video now only to share details of his health states with his fans, but also to remind them to always take the necessary precautions when it comes to sun exposure.

“Please wear sunscreen, it is just not worth it, no matter how much you want a tan. Trust me!” he said.

“This is all stuff that happened 25 years ago and it’s coming out now. Put some sunscreen on and you’ll still have an incredible time out there. Please be safe.”

The Wolverine star then added: “I wanted you to hear it from me, just in case someone sees me on the street or whatever. I’ve just had two biopsies done.”

This isn’t the first time for Jackman to speak publicly of his health struggles. He uses every occasion to raise awareness and warn people to take care of themselves. Back in 2021, when speaking of his health scares, he said, “It’s certainly not my first, I’ve had five or six of them now.

“It’s pretty common when you have English parents and they take you over to Australia and you play cricket out in the sun.”

According to the Skin Care Foundation, “Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) arises from abnormal, uncontrolled growth of basal cells” and is “usually caused by a combination of cumulative and intense, occasional sun exposure.” An estimated 3.6 million cases of this form of cancer are diagnosed each year in the U.S. alone.

We wish Hugh Jackman only the best and we hope he won’t be facing any health issues in the future.

Final twist in 21-year-old’s claim that she’s Madeleine McCann – DNA test results confirmed

The results of the long-awaited DNA test which was to confirm whether the 21-year-old girl named Julia Wendell was in fact Madeleine McCann are finally here.

Julia Wendell from Poland has gone viral after sensationally claiming that she is Madeleine McCann, who went missing from an apartment in Praia da Luz, in Portugal, while her parents were out having dinner. At the time of her disappearance, Madeleine was just 4 years old, and the search for her never stopped.

Julia gathered over a million followers on her Instagram account named “Help me, I need to talk with Kate and Gerry McCann,” with the username “iammadeleinemccan.” Some of the evidence she shared in support of her claims were certain physical similarities with the missing Madeleine, like the famous rare eye defect and other facial features. As of her childhood, Julia said she remembered little to nothing.

In statements made to the Daily Star, Julia said:“I have lived a very hard life and suffered a lot of trauma, my abuser was a German paedophile who was a suspect in the Madeleine McCann investigation.

“I had not heard of this case until I started asking my parents questions about my childhood as I have little to no memory of it. The memories are all very blurry and when I have had conversations with my parents, things don’t seem to add up and they always try to change the subject.”

Further, Julia said, “I don’t remember being taken away. I mean, I don’t remember almost my entire childhood… I have asked for pictures of when my mum was pregnant with me, other medical records and any pictures from my childhood and she never shows them, she just always tells me I’m crazy.

The results of the DNA test show that Julia is not Madeleine. It has further been revealed that Julia is of Polish heritage, with some Lithuanian and Romanian heritage.

Speaking to RadarOnline, Dr. Fia Johansson said: “She is absolutely 100 percent from Poland. She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish.”

Even before the results were being published, Dr. Johansson, who has been given power of attorney over Julia, said her “gut feeling” told her that her client isn’t the missing child.

“We learned a few things, one being that Julia’s mum is in fact now believed to be her mum, so she is not Madeleine McCann,” Dr. Johansson said.

“They’re not 100% but they believe that Julia’s mum is in fact her mum. They’re questioning her father’s side. They’re checking into that, that’s part of what they’re doing with the DNA.

“But Julia’s mum is in fact her mum is what they’re believing and she is not in fact Madeleine McCann.”

Recently, the search for Madeleine has been extended to 12 more months and £302,470 funding has been approved, which gave fresh hope to her parents.

We truly hope this case will eventually be solved.

Russell Crowe shares heartbreaking update about his loss – ‘he died in my arms…’

With roles in films which are considered iconic, such as Gladiator and Beautiful Mind, the New Zealand born actor Russell Crow cemented his place in Hollywood and made a massive mark in the industry of film.

Back in March, 2021, Crowe lost his father, John Crowe who was 85 years old at the time of his passing. He passed away in his home of 25 years in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales in Australia.

This was a huge blow for the actor who shared a tribute to his late father on the social media and wrote, “I’m posting this because I know there are people all over the world who’s heart he touched and who’s ribs he tickled with his sparkly eyes and his cheeky attitude to everyone, and everything. And this is probably as efficient a method as any to pass on the news.”

Further, Crowe added: “I arrived back in the bush last night. Today, although the sun is shining and the torrential rain has abated, this date will forever be tinged with sadness. My dear old man, my beautiful dad, the most gentle of men, has passed away.”

This year, on the second anniversary of his father’s passing, the actor who will appear in the 2023 movie The Pope’s Exorcist, shared another heartbreak, the death of his dog, Louis the Papillion.

Although Crowe tends to keep a low profile and is not very active on social media, he would share photos of Louis. Once, he posted a photo of himself and his dog wearing matching shirts.

Under the cute photo, he wrote, “I’m not at all a fan of dressing dogs up, but, a friend bought little Louis a ⁦@RalphLauren ⁩polo so he can match with dad. I think the other dogs on the farm are going to get jealous. Pretty funny.”

Sadly, Louis got hit by a truck and didn’t manage to survive despite the efforts by Crowe and the veterinarians. “This is Louis the Papillion. 16 months old. Tiny, cheeky, brave. He won my heart. Unfortunately today, on the second anniversary of my father’s passing, Louis was hit by a truck. We tried to get him to the vet, but he died in my arms while I was telling him how much we loved him.”

We are so very sorry for Crowe’s loss.

Brooke Shields was body-shamed but her husband had a fitting response

The new powerful documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, is what the actress used as a way to take a look back at how far she’s come in her life and her career. Making a name for herself as a model who found herself on the covers of many prestigious magazines and continuing to stare in a number of movies, she has a lot to brag about.

Although she has been regarded one of the most beautiful women of her generation and beyond, Shields hasn’t always seen the beauty in herself mainly because she was criticized of her looks from early age by her mother Teri.

“My mother would get drunk and say: ‘Why don’t you move your fat ass?’ So, I’ve always believed I had a fat ass,” the actress recalled. She had troubles building her self-confidence but then she met someone who has changed that and helped her embrace her beauty; her husband of 22 years, screenwriter Chris Henchy.

“I would walk backwards out of rooms, and he’d say: ‘No, I want to grab onto you,’” Shields said. “He really celebrated my womanliness and my body. And I needed a man to celebrate me.”

Before marrying Henchy in 2001, Shields was married to tennis legend Andre Agassi. Their marriage lasted for 2 years only.

As a 15-year-old girl, Shields was discovered by fashion designer Calvin Klein and was featured in commercials, but even then, she felt self conscious about her looks.

“I modeled swimwear when I was 15, and even then I didn’t think I had a swimsuit body,” Shields recalled in a recent interview. “I was a cover girl, not a supermodel. I was ‘neck up’ — the face, the eyebrows — and I was always described as ‘athletic’; ‘not rail-thin’; ‘not a runway model.’ Those messages, they seep into your consciousness,” the actress finished.

A few years ago, she teamed up with Calvin Klein yet again and they did another campaign together. “I knew that if I didn’t look my best, I’d be embarrassed and mad at myself. I stopped drinking beer and wine, and I worked out three times a week. I was the best version of myself,” she said, adding, “I was also hungry.”

One would say that it is unexpected that someone as praised for their beauty and as famous as Shields has had insecurities, but before everything else, she’s just a human, like all of us.

In a recent interview with People, she opened up about a horrific experience which took place around 30 years ago when she was assaulted by a Hollywood executive soon after graduating from Princeton University. “I’m more angry now than I was able to be then. If you’re afraid, you’re rightfully so. They are scary situations. They don’t have to be violent to be scary.”

She believes that she fell victim because “People weren’t believing those stories back then. I thought I would never work again.” On top of that, she kept blaming herself. “I kept saying, ‘I shouldn’t have done that. Why did I go up with him? I shouldn’t have had that drink at dinner,’” she said.

At the time, she shared the horrific experience with her close friend and former security consultant Gavin de Becker only, but she now speaks openly about it in hopes of helping others not to feel alone. “Everybody processes their own trauma on a different timeline. I want to be an advocate for women to be able to speak their truth.”

Even today, Brooke Shields looks as stunning as ever and has an incredible career.
