Alain Delon’s son is all grown up now and he’s the spitting image of his dad

It goes without saying that French-born actor Alain Delon is still considered one of the ultimate symbols of not only European, but the world’s cinema. He has had a sensational career and starred in a number of iconic movies which helped him reach the pedestal and stay there for many years.

Among the rest, he landed a role in Purple Noon, 1960, which is considered to be his first major project. It is a brilliant thriller that borrowed inspiration from the famous Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. That same year, he had his breakthrough performance which propelled him into proper stardom in Rocco and His Brothers. In 1962, he played alongside Italian actress Monica Vitti in The Eclipse, under the direction of acclaimed Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni. For his role, he won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes festival, and was nominated for the Palme d’Or.

In the 1960’s, Delon tried to make it big in America. He landed some small parts in movies The Yellow Rolls-Royce, 1965, which also starred Shirley MacLaine.

Delon then signed with Columbia and starred in Lost Command, alongside Anthony Quinn and Claudia Cardinale, and Texas Across the River, opposite Dean Martin, among the rest. However, at the time, he didn’t feel like he was reaching the stardom he hoped for so he returned to France where he featured in another big hit as hitman Frank Costello in Le Samouraï.

Being a huge celebrity and someone many generations loved and adored, Delon’s private life has always been of great interest with the public.

The actor with signature piercing blue eyes and natural French charm dated stunning Romy Schneider for five years before they called it quits and he married another woman that same year. Delon and actress Natalie Delon tied the knot in 1964 and divorced just five years later, welcoming son Anthony in the meantime.

Delon had relationships with actresses Mireille Darc and Anne Parillaud. In the 1980s, he began a two-decade long relationship with Dutch model Rosalie van Breemen with whom he welcomed two children, daughter Anouchka Delon (born in 1990), and another son, Alain-Fabien Delon (born in 1994).

His youngest son, Alain-Fabien, not only followed into his famous dad’s footsteps, but he’s inherited the great looks too. He resembles the legendary actor so much, that people can’t help but say he’s spitting image of Alain Delon, and we can only agree with that.

The 28-year-old has been in a number of movies, including Savage Days (2021), Fabio Montale (2001) and Ultra Pure.

We wish Alain-Fabien a lot of success in his career.

People called the poor dog ‘werewolf’ because they simply didn’t know what kind of animal he was

By

A strange animal resembling a ‘werewolf’ stood by the side of the road around an orchard in Madera Ranchos, California. With a mangy patch of fur, skinny and balding, he made everyone fearful to even look at him.

Months passed by and no one wanted to approach the poor animal whose skin was hard and scaly and whose tail was pointy and broken. The only black fur left was that on his neck and head.

Everyone believed he was dangerous and it was obvious he was sick, so people would turn a blind eye when passing by him.

Luckily, one day, an angel in the form of a human decided this dog was worth her time. The woman stopped to check on the poor canine and decided to call for help. Then, another kind-hearted woman named Megan Bowe answered the call. Megan, who is the founder of Bowe’s Adoptable Rescued Pup, told The Dodo, “I was about ready to cry when I saw how bad off he was.

“He was really on his last leg. He was depressed and could barely even stand up.”

Megan soon realized what this ‘werewolf’ was in fact a very sick and neglected German shepherd mix. She named him King and immediately took him to a vet’s clinic.

Facebook/ Bowe’s Adoptable Rescued Pups

The number of diseases King suffered from were plenty, but Meghan and the doctors decided to treat them each at the time. His most serious conditions were his scabies, the broken pelvis and the broken tail which needed to be treated surgically.

“My vet thinks he got hit by a car, and that would explain how his tail was so messed up, too,” Megan said. “That injury happened months ago, because by the time I got him it had already started to heal incorrectly. And with such a damaged pelvis, he wasn’t able to get around very far on his own to look for food so he was extremely skinny and dehydrated.”

Facebook/ Bowe’s Adoptable Rescued Pups

King’s health condition made him look old, but in fact, he was only a year of age. Because of his diseases, some of which were contagious, Megan needed to place him at a separate section of the place where she kept the rest of the animals she took care of.

Luckily, King started eating and he was getting a bigger portion every day.

As his condition gradually got better, King was ready to undergo the much needed surgery for his broken pelvis and tail.

And the operations were successful!

It took him some time to be able to walk again, but with the help of Megan and the vets, he achieved the impossible and stood on his feet again.

Megan hopes that King would soon be able to be put up for adoption. All she hopes for is that a loving family would embrace him and give him a loving home.

“It’s hard to think that all those cars passed him by and never stopped. No one wanted to bring him home or help him because he looked so bad… But all it took was one person,” Megan said.

It is because of people like the woman who called for help, and Megan, who was ready to step in, that this world becomes a much better place.

Michael Lockwood files petition to become guardian Ad Litem of twin daughters, Harper And Finley, while Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough continue legal battle

Lisa Marie Presley suffered cardiac arrest on January 12, 2023, after which she was transferred to the ICU unit in a critical condition. According to reports, she was put in an induced coma and on life support with a temporary pacemaker before she passed away.

And as everyone expected that her family would remain close and reunite in grief, the opposite happened. If reports are to be believed, Lisa’s mother, Priscilla Presley, and her older daughter, Riley Keough are fighting over Graceland, the property of late Elvis Presley which Lisa Marie inherited back in the day.

However, Lisa also had two other daughters, twins Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood. When Lisa and the girl’s father, Michael Lockwood divorced, they started a legal battle over the custody of the twins; it was a bitter one and lasted for five years, or until Lisa Marie’s sudden passing.

Elvis’ only daughter was married to Lockwood from 2006 to 2016, although their divorce was only finalized in 2021.

Lisa Marie adored her children and she was very proud of being a mother. Shortly before her twins were born, she spoke about motherhood in an ABC News interview and said, “Having children makes everything better. Even if you’re an adult, no matter what’s happening, they’re always there, so whatever they’re going through, you go through it with them as well. They act as your anchor, pushing you to abandon your identity and focus solely on them, which is fantastic. Oh, everything is fantastic.”

It was reported that Lockwood has now been given the full custody of his daughters and he’s now doing all in his power Harper and Finley to be represented fairly in the legal battle over Graceland and Lisa Marie’s other assets. For this reason, he’s petitioning to be their guardian ad litem during the legal battle considering that both of his daughters are set to be beneficiaries of the trust while Lockwood is not. 

“The minor is a beneficiary of a trust at issue before the probate court in the above-referenced case. The minor requires an appointment of a guardian ad litem to represent her interests in the proceeding,” the petition says, and adds: “there is no conflict regarding appointment.”

Lisa Marie and Lockwood had their differences and he wasn’t invited to her memorial service, but he still showed up in the company of his twin daughters and Priscilla Presley, which according to reports, angered Riley and furthered the tension between her and her grandmother Priscilla.

The lawyers that represent the 14-year-old twins have already filed a declaration in support of the movement which the girls supported. they also signed consent forms.

We are yet to see what the future holds for Lisa Marie’s family and how the legal battle will end.

At only 62 years old, the legendary actor is unrecognizable

From Blackadder, which helped him make a name for himself, to House, and a number of other films and projects, actor Hugh Laurie has had an incredible career. This British-born actor’s popularity has grown enormously over the years, and he’s now considered one of the best in Hollywood.

Recently, he has been spotted taking his dog for a walk and what many noticed was that he altered his looks. Wearing a pair of dark trousers and trainers, with a hat and a bushy beard, many agreed that he didn’t resembled his old self as we are used to see him clean-shaven most, if not all, of the time.

The photos were made shortly before the release of his three-part series Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? 

Being a popular name in the industry, Laurie brings what he says is his favorite Agatha Christie novel to the screen with this mini series.

“I would say the novel has been a passion of mine for a long time,” Laurie, 62, shared with Reuters. “The more I thought about it, the more I enjoyed the idea of trying to get what I thought was a sort of comic adventure spirit onto the screen.”

The cast consists of Will Poulter and Frances Derwent, as well as Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent, who play Lady Frances Marcham’s aristocratic parents.

Back in the day, before tying the knot with his wife of 33 years, Jo Green, Laurie and Thompson dated for a while.

Regarding his first major directing role, Laurie said: “The hairs on the back of my neck haven’t properly settled down from the first time I grasped the beauty of the essential mystery.

“Since then, I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with the characters, and feel immensely honored to have been given the chance to retell their story in this form.

“I will wear a tie on set, and give it everything I have.”

Senior turns in nearly $15K she discovered walking to work but ends up receiving a much bigger reward

By

Every act of kindness, no matter how big or small, always goes a long way.

65-year-old Diane Gordon is a woman who walks three miles to and from work every day. Some three years ago, her car broke down and she never managed to get the money in order to have it repaired. Things haven’t been easy for this grandma, but she didn’t have a choice because her finances were tight.

One day, as she was walking to work, she stopped by the gas station to grab something to eat when she noticed a bag on the ground. As she got closer, she noticed that there was money inside, and a lot of it.

“I looked down on the ground and found a plastic bag with a large sum of money in it,” she told WJBK. “When you turned it over, there was even more money.”

Diane was in a complete shock. She wondered who could have lost that much money. And even those she knew that the $15,000 that were inside could solve many of her problems she never, not even for a second, thought of taking the money. Instead, she was quick to contact the local police station. “This doesn’t belong to me, I need to call a police officer,” Diane said.

Since there was a card inside indicating that the money was given to a couple who got married earlier that day, it wasn’t hard for the rightful owners to be tracked down.

“There were wedding cards with a name on it, and we were able to get the money back to them,” Police Chief Dan Keller of the White Lake Township Police Department shared in an interview with The Washington Post.

Diane’s act stunned the officers. “She didn’t hesitate; she didn’t question it,” the police chief said about Diane. “This doesn’t happen very often, that someone finds a large sum of money and turns it in.”

As a thank you for the kind deed she made, one of the dispatchers who received Diane’s call, decided to set up a GoFundMe page in order to raise money for Diane so that she could have her car repaired. However, once the story spread around, a local car dealership gave Diane a brand new Jeep. As of the fundraising, she was able to receive over $82,000.

Her kindness truly paid off. She did the right thing and the thank you she received was bigger that she could ever anticipate.

Tom Cruise’s reason for skipping the Oscars involved ex-wife Nicole Kidman and their nasty divorce

By

Many of Hollywood’s biggest stars were honored at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, and with that, many were present at the Dolby Theatre in LA. However, it didn’t go unnoticed that the Top Gun: Maverick star wasn’t in attendance despite the fact that his film was nominated for six categories and won one.

The reason why Tom Cruise didn’t attend the Oscars was a scheduling conflict. Currently, he’s shooting Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part II in the United Kingdom, and knowing that he puts work ahead of all else, this sounds like a valid reason.

However, according to certain media outlets, there’s more than meets the eye in this story and it involves Cruise’s ex-wife, award-winning actress Nicole Kidman.

Cruise and Kidman met on the set of Days of Thunder after Cruise convinced the producers to make her his co-star in the film. Apparently, he noticed her in the 1989 flick Dead Calm and was eager to meet her in person ever since.

At the time, Cruise was married to actress Mimi Rogers but the chemistry between him and Kidman was too strong to ignore.

“I had three very strong relationships before I met Tom. But I was never going to get married. Never. But he was just the most incredible, unusual man I’d ever met,” Kidman said.

The two married during a private ceremony which lasted for 30 minutes. Only few people from both sides were invited.

Cruise spoke of Kidman as of the love of his life. “It was that special connection when you recognize your soul mate. She is a person who understands. It was as if a whole new life had started for me,” he told Vanity Fair in 2002.

Kidman was in love with Cruise as much as he was. ”I fell madly, passionately in love. And as happens when you fall in love, my whole plan in terms of what I wanted for my life—I was like, ‘Forget it. This is it.’ I was consumed by it, willingly. And I was desperate to have a baby with him. I didn’t care if we were married. That’s what I wish I’d done,” she once said.

The two resembled a match made in Heaven and that is the reason why everyone was left in shock when Cruise filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.

He cited irreconcilable differences as a reason for his decision.

Kidman was also shocked. She said the divorce wasn’t something she expected and added it came out of the blue.

There were rumors that he called their marriage quits because she refused to become part of the controversial church of Scientology that Cruise is a valued member of.

And now, according to the Daily Mail, Cruise missed the Academy Awards in order to “avoid an awkward run-in.”

“Tom was not there because she (Nicole) was there, and he did not want a run-in,” the source said.

The love story of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick: One of the most loved Hollywood couples

By
Monica Pop
-

One thing most celebrity marriages have in common is that they don’t last long, so hearing of celebs who managed to stay together for years and are still going strong leaves us in awe. Such union is the one between Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick, both very famous names in the world of film.

Bacon and Sedgwick first met when she was 12 years old. According to her, she and her brother went to see a movie Bacon starred in and met after. Of course, she was way too young back then and didn’t think much of that encounter.

Some ten years later, their paths crossed again while working on the film Lemon Sky, but it didn’t look like they were going to end up together because according to Sedgwick, she didn’t really find him attractive. He, on the other hand, was totally smitten with her from the beginning.

Speaking to Wide Open Country, the actress revealed, “He definitely wasn’t my type. In fact, I vividly remember looking at his butt when he walked away after we first met and thinking, Well, I guess some girls like that.”

However, they eventually started dating and tied the knot in 1988. The couple has two children together, son Travis Sedgwick Bacon, who is a solo musician, and daughter Sosie Ruth, who is following into her parents’ footsteps and is pursuing a career in the film industry. She’s best known for her portrayal of Skye Miller in the Netflix teenage drama 13 Reasons Why.

Bacon and Sedgwick have been married for 34 years, but they are still as affectionate for one another as day one. The Mystic River star uses every opportunity to remind his wife just how much he loves her. “I don’t know how he does it, but he always makes me feel like I’m the most beautiful woman in the room – the only girl in the room,” Kyra told People.

However, when it comes to the key to long and happy marriage, Bacon told Entertainment Weekly, “Whatever you do, don’t listen to celebrities on advice on how to stay married.” It’s probably the love and the respect they have for one another that makes their union so solid.

“He is so honorable. He is so ethically true. He has high moral standards, and he doesn’t lie and he doesn’t cheat—and I find that sexy!” Sedgwick told Good Housekeeping back in 2012. “I am constantly in awe of Kevin’s levelheadedness and his lack of ‘crazy.’”

During an appearance on the U.S. TV show “Finding Your Roots,” the couple learned they were ninth cousins, but that didn’t really affected their relationship in any way. According to Kyra, she did feel a bit unsettling but it was okay because although they appeared to be cousins, they were distant ones.

After investigating Kevin’s family ancestry, the show discovered that King Edward I, who fought William Wallace, was his 22nd great grandfather. Kevin joked that his ancestry did not get enough attention and said that as long as they are not first cousins, it’s all right.

With the ongoing pandemic, Bacon and Sedgwick are spending most of their time at home. She said she was doing some writing, and revealed that the two “are watching a lot of stuff and we’re reading. We continue to read stuff. I continue to read. I’m trying to touch into my work on a daily basis, for sure.”

One thing is certain, these two make one of the cutest Hollywood couples. Don’t you agree?

Tiffany Trump’s wedding to Michael Boulos at Mar-a-Lago was a beautiful occasion

By

It goes without a saying that the Trump family is one of the most famous ones in the States. Being a business mogul and a former president makes Donald Trump an influential public figure, and with that, the interest about his family is also huge.

The famous Trump empire started taking form when , Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was still in high school. He graduated from Richmond Hill High School in 1923 and took classes in building construction at the Young Men’s Christian Association. In 1924, young Fred built his first home. In the following years, more houses arouse in Queens, and Fred, along with his mother, started the company E. Trump & Son.

Fred, being the oldest of the siblings and losing his father at the age of 11, took care of his brothers and sent them to college. But they, however, weren’t into the business as Fred was. At the time, the houses were sold for around $4,000 dollars. So, Fred was helping the middle class and was doing a lot for the community while getting extremely wealthy at the same time.

Business was booming, but then the World War II happened, and Fred was afraid he would lose clients, a lot of which Jews, so he hid the fact that he was of German origin. Instead, he claimed his father came to the U.S. from Sweden. During the war, Fred’s company was building apartments for the Navy and later homes for the veterans. He was well respected and helped improve the lives of those belonging to the middle class a great deal.

Today, Donald Trump’s children enjoy lavish lifestyles and they are all very close to their father.

Back in November, 2022, the family gathered together to celebrate Tiffany Trump’s wedding to billionaire Michael Boulos.

The couple met while on vacation in Mykonos in 2018, when Tiffany Trump was studying law at Georgetown Law and Boulos was studying project management at City, University of London, according to People magazine. Boulos is a Lebanese and he’s the son of Lebanese-Nigerian tycoon Massad Boulos, who runs Boulos Enterprises and is the CEO of SCOA Nigeria.

The wedding was a joyous occasion which took place at the family’s Mar-a-Lago Club, a place Tiffany holds close to her heart because of all the memories while growing up.

Tiffany’s wedding dress was a nod to Boulos’ heritage. “It’s a Lebanese American wedding, so we were so happy to have Elie Saab create the magic,” Marla Maples, the mother of the bride said. Maples also wore an Elie Saab gown for her mother of the bride look.

Ivana Trump was quick to share plenty of photos from the wedding, as well from the bridal shower.

Tiffany walked arm-in-arm with her father, smiling from ear to ear as the crowd looked on.

For the reception, the bride changed into a second gown where she was seen dancing with her new husband.
