Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter makes rare appearance on red carpet at 17 – and everyone’s saying the same thing

16 years after her death, the name of Anna Nicole Smith still stands for fame and controversy. She was a model, an actress, and a television personality who first gained popularity when she won the title of 1993 Playmate of the Year after posing for Playboy magazine.

Smith modeled for huge names in the fashion industry among which Guess, H&M, Heatherette and Lane Bryant.

“I love the paparazzi,” she once told the Washington Post.

“They take pictures, and I just smile away. I’ve always liked the attention. I didn’t get very much growing up, and I always wanted to be, you know, noticed.”

Sadly, the life of glamour took its toll. Smith married petroleum tycoon J. Howard Marshall who was 63 years her senior. This relationship wasn’t just controversial, but a high-profile one and many believe it marked the start of Smith’s downfall. Six months after tying the knot, then 90-year-old Marshal died.

Following his passing, Smith and Marshal’s family got involved in a long and controversial legal battle over his fortune and assets. The case ultimately went as high as the US Supreme Court in 2006.

In 2007, a tragedy struck beautiful Smith died of overdose in 2007, just a few months after she gave birth to her baby daughter Dannielynn. After her death, several men claimed to be the baby’s dad and after paternity tests were ordered, Larry Birkhead got paternity rights.

Today, Dannielynn is all grown up and resembles both her mom and her dad. In fact, she got the best of both and is a real beauty.

Larry takes great care of his daughter and shares adorable photos of the fun time they spend together. They live in Kentucky and Larry makes sure his daughter’s life is as normal as possible. She attends a public school and has a lot of friends.

Speaking of her likes and dislikes and what makes her happy, Larry says Dannielynn wants to follow into her late mom’s footsteps when it comes to acting.

The girl once said, “It’s really cool to like, act as a character and not yourself. It’s like portraying a new person. It’s fun.” She and her dad have appeared on several shows such as ‘Life after Anna’, ‘Wife Swap‘, and ‘The Millionaire Matchmaker.’

Dannielynn wants to try herself as a YouTuber, but her dad thinks she’s way too young to be doing something like that. He wants her to stay out of the spotlight and enjoy her teen years the way her friends do. Speaking to US Weekly, Larry said, “If it’s something you want to do when you get older, you can, but right now let’s sell some Girl Scout cookies.”

Some years ago, an unnamed source told National Enquirer, “Anna Nicole was seduced by the showbiz lifestyle, and Larry wants to make sure Dannielynn doesn’t end up like her. “[Anna Nicole was] chasing stardom and surrounded by greedy hangers-on.”

However, Larry does his best to keep the memory of Smith alive. Last year, Dannielynn paid tribute to her mom by wearing her heat from her appearance at the Kentucky Derby in 2004 and a pink dress. The resemblance with her mom is there, although as she grows older, Dannielynn seems to be taking more after her dad.

Speaking of her character, Larry told Fox News, “She’s fun and fearless like her mom was. She’s a good kid. I’m just happy that I’ve been able to spend all the time I have been able to have with her.”

At the Barnstable Brown Gala that took place ahead of the Derby, the now-17-year-old wore a blouse with photographs of her mom. Larry wore a tie featuring the same images.

“She’s showing off her fashion sense but at the same time paying tribute to her mom,” Larry said. He added that he and his daughter had decided to pay tribute to Anna Nicole Smith because it marked the 20th anniversary of the day he had met the model back in 2003. At the time, he was a photographer covering the event.

The late model’s clothes are in Larry’s possession so Dannielynn often goes through them.

“And everything she has of her mom’s is cataloged in storage, with photos of the event where she wore it,” Larry revealed.

“So someday, she can give them to her kids if she wants to.”

We hope Dannielynn will fulfill all her dreams.

The diagnosis Rock Hudson hid from his younger lover

Actor Rock Hudson lived during an era when many of the things that are greatly accepted today were considered taboo.

When he was ten, his mom divorced his father and he ended up living with her and his step-father who often mocked him for wanting to become an actor. Sadly, this, together with his inability to remember long lines as a youngster, prevented him from pursuing a career from early age.

As he grew older, Hudson worked for the post office and then joined the WWII war effort as an airplane mechanic. Following the war, he worked as a truck driver and passed out his headshot and information at studio lots. Luckily, Henry Willson, a talent scout who later turned his manager, noticed Hudson and offered to help him find his place under the Hollywood sky. It was Hudson’s good looks that helped him land a role which turned into a big breakthrough, that in Fighter Squadron.

Wikipedia Commons / Universal Pictures

Hudson became a well-known name in the world of film and roles started coming one after another. He found success, but it was his personal life that he experienced troubles with.

At one point of his life, at the peak of his career, Confidential magazine threatened to expose his sexuality, something he tried hiding from the rest of the world.

Hudson was a homosexual, and that wasn’t something people approved of at the time.

In order to stop people from talking, he decided to marry his agent’s secretary, Phyllis Gates. The two claimed they were much in love, but divorced some three years later with Gates claiming she experienced mental cruelty. Hudson agreed to pay her alimony for he next ten years and Gates never remarried.

As of Hudson, he dated Lee Garlington from 1962 to 1965 but it wasn’t until Hudson’s biography was released that Garlington understood he was the actor’s “true love.”

“I’d sneak out at 6 am in my Chevy Nova and coast down the street without turning on the engine so the neighbors wouldn’t hear. We thought we were being so clever,” Garlington said. However, Hudson decided to call the relationship quits after a fan broke into his home to find evidence of his sexuality.

One of the most significant relationships Hudson had been involved in was that with Christian, a 28-year-old actor who had gained fame for his roles in films such as 1988’s Deadly Addiction, and who was twice the age younger than Hudson. The two met at a political fundraiser and clicked right away, and just as they were the happiest they had ever been, Hudson started experiencing strange symptoms such as body sores, weight loss, and extreme sweating bouts. These symptoms were due to AIDS, a disease little was known of back in the day.

Hudson was hesitant whether to go public with the diagnosis because he was aware AIDS was closely connected to homosexuality so he decided to stay silent for some time. He even hid the condition from his partner.

Eventually, the actor went public via a statement, and that was how his lover Christian learned Hudson had AIDS.

Following Hudson’s passing in 1985, Christian sued him for hiding the truth about the disease from him, citing emotional distress and fear of infection.

After considering his case, the jury awarded Christian 21.7 million dollars, but the amount was later cut down to 5.5 million dollars.

Rock Hudson was a great actor with a turbulent private life. He was, however, loved and adored by many, including his close friends Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day, who were protecting him during his life.

Teens find ‘frozen’ creature stuck under the car, drop everything to help it

Jaydon Pettipas and Aidan Hart, two kind-hearted friends from the Canadian town of Saint Andrews in New Brunswick, noticed a group of people gathered around a car. They were curious to learn what was going on, so they approached closer and were shocked by the sight. An animal, which was totally unrecognizable and looked frozen, was stuck under the car.

After inspecting closely, they realized it was a squirrel covered in insulation foam. The poor soul was unable to move and was in distress, and it was very obvious that it didn’t have much time to live. In order to change that, the two teens decided to do all in their power to save the powerless animal. “There was nothing recognizable about it,” 15-year-old Jaydon told CBC Canada.

So, they called Jaydon’s mom and told her what was going on. She agreed to help and called a veterinary clinic which was around 20 miles away from the place the squirrel was found. Until the boys’ waited to Jaydon’s mom, they grabbed a milk crate and put the squirrel in it.

“I had never seen anything like this before,” Dr. Melanie Eagan, from St. George Veterinary Clinic said.

She said the squirrel was so encrusted in the insulation foam, it could only move its back legs slightly. “Someone was probably patching up a hole trying to keep a draft out and this little guy ran through it when it was still wet,” she said. “But that stuff hardens pretty quickly so it wouldn’t have taken long for him to become in distress.”

Luckily, the vets were determined to help the little soul, and after rubbing alcohol to loosen the foam from the animal’s fur and a lot of patience, the squirrel was finally free to move. After some time, it was released into the wild.

If it wasn’t for Jaydon and Aidan, the squirrel would have easily died.

Man approaches world’s most dangerous bird – his 911 call is bone-chilling

Striking to look at, with a vivid blue face, two red flaps of skin hanging from their neck and a hollow “helmet”, the Cassowary birds are considered to be the most dangerous in the world. These flightless birds, which are huge, territorial, and aggressive are native to the forests of New Guinea, the Aru Islands, and northeastern Australia. It is believed that thousands of years ago, they were kept as pets by the humans, something that is difficult to imagine nowadays, but not for everyone.

One particular man from Florida named Marvin Hajos, 75, has studied these birds for many years and he even had a permission to keep two breeding pairs as pets on his property. In fact, Marvin did a lot for this species and it was his goal to help preserve them. Over the years, he became an expert, and traveled around the US giving lectures on them at various colleges.

Being very familiar with their aggressive nature, Marvin was aware of the dangers that came with keeping them and approaching close to them. Unfortunately, one day in 2019, he got too close to one of the Cassowaries he kept and got severely wounded by one of them. His call to the emergency services as a blood-chilling one.

The tragedy took place when Marvin tried to retrieve an egg the female bird had laid in order to prevent the male from smashing it, because that is what they do.

According to Fox 35, He was tending to them when he got attacked. One of the females recently laid an egg, the males typically try to smash those eggs. It is believed that Hajos tried to retrieve the eggs and put them in an incubator before the attack.”

YouTube / FOX 35 Orlando

It is not known how exactly he got attacked, but when he called 911, Marvin could be heard saying, “Can you send an ambulance? I’m bleeding to death.”

He was rushed to UF Health Shands Hospital where he succumbed to the injuries.

Alachua County Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Jeff Taylor explained: “It looks like it was accidental. My understanding is that the gentleman was in the vicinity of the bird and at some point fell. When he fell, he was attacked.”

While these birds are certainly equipped to kill, like most animals, they don’t look for trouble. On the contrary, they tend to avoid contact and conflict unless they feel that their lives and that of their young are endangered.

Marvin Hajos, may you rest in peace.

Woman who wants to become a ‘forest elf’ gets Barbie nose and cat eyes in new extreme procedure

When someone isn’t satisfied with the way they look and long for a change, they usually get new hairstyle or change their clothing, but there are also those who undergo plastic surgeries in an attempt to alter their appearance. The thing is that once a procedure is done, there is this urge for more, and as we all know, too many plastic surgeries rarely seem to be a good decision.

Mary Magdalene is a 25-year-old internet sensation from Toronto, Canada who has spent thousands and thousands of dollars to look the way she does, and her changes are so drastic that they cause mixed feelings of whether she looks good or ridiculous.

In a recent Internet post, Mary says that her ‘new face’ looks like a “forest fairy elf.”

Instagram/1800leavemaryalone

Her desire for plastic surgeries emerged when she was 17 years old and started working as an exotic dancer. The first ever surgery she had undergone was breasts enlargement surgery. From that moment on, Mary turned into an internet sensation, gathering over 300,000 followers on her now suspended account. During the pandemic, she turned into a full-time online dancer and charged $110 for five-minute sessions.

“I do a chat and a [exotic dance], although sometimes I am just a therapist. Some people just love having someone to talk to,” Mary Magdalene told Unilad. “I get all sorts of different requests. Some people just want to see me eat, twerking, trying on clothes. I also get foot fetishists – I’ve even had people begging me to humiliate and insult them.”

Instagram/1800leavemaryalone

Over the years, she has undergone plenty of surgeries, and the list is so long that it’s easy to lose a track. Among the rest, Mary has done a brow lift, fat transfers, three Brazilian butt lifts, multiple nose jobs, boob jobs, liposuction, veneers, and butt injections.

All these surgeries cost her over $100,000.

For her latest surgery, Mary had to fly to Russia because the surgery she wanted couldn’t be performed in the States due to safety reasons. “Next week I have my eyebrow transplant, jaw and lips booked then my face will be complete,’ she captioned the photo,” she told The Sun in early February.

“The doctors think I don’t need any more surgeries but respect the fact that I have my own unique aesthetic and are open to helping me achieve my goals,’ the dancer and model explained.

Instagram/1800leavemaryalone

What Mary wanted from her latest surgery was getting the “fattest v*gina in the world,” where doctors took fat from other parts of her body and injected it into her v*gina. Sadly, it went wrong and her left side kept growing consistently, which resulted in a surge of scar tissue. In order to save her life, she had two blood transfusions.

“I custom-designed it, so I have the fattest in the world. I almost died during [the] procedure,” Mary Magdelene said on the No Jumper podcast. “The doctor said I was losing so much blood and turning very pale. He thought I was going to die.

“He thought I was going to die. I felt nauseous for a whole week, and I thought I was dying and had a bad allergic reaction to the new blood I received from the transfusion.”

Instagram/1800leavemaryalone

One would say this would be an alert to stop undergoing more surgeries, but not for this extravagant woman.

“I plan to have my next boob surgery in a couple of months. I’m on the fence with what route I’m going to take, but I plan to have the world’s biggest boobs,” she said.

“I get a lot of dirty looks and have literally caused car accidents. I often have people stop me on the street begging for my number and desperate to give me money. The wives and girlfriends try and distract their boyfriends and husbands when I walk by because they are jealous. They will stare at [my body] and get turned on,” Mary added.

“But I don’t care; they always find a way to stare at me anyway. There have been times where they secretly slipped me their number before. I thought it was hilarious.”

Instagram/1800leavemaryalone

Just recently, she posted a photo of her face all wrapped in bandages. And although she is complete swollen on it, she says she’s pleased with the results and the way she looks.

“It’s a very fake-looking Barbie nose which is exactly what I asked for, and so many surgeons said it was not possible for me to have this type of nose because of my three prior nose jobs.”

Mary believes that her appearance is good for her business, but at the same time, it prevents her from being in a relationship. “They get controlling and insecure about my Instagram and my website; they hate other men seeing my [hot] pictures, and they wish I wore more clothes out in public because it is too chaotic,” she said.

What are your thoughts on Mary Magdalene’s looks and her surgeries?

The amazing story of Katie Stubblefield: She became the youngest person to receive a face transplant

Katie Stubblefield was just 18 years old when she decided to take her own life following a dispute with her boyfriend.

Before that, she was an excellent student and a fun loving young lady who found love during her senior year at the church where their parents taught. One night, Katie learned that her boyfriend was chatting with another girl, and when she confronted him, he told her he didn’t want to be with her any longer.

Katie felt terrible and instead of going home, she rushed to her brother’s house. Robert, her brother, noticed that Katie was visibly disturbed. “I was like, ‘What are you doing home from school?’” he recalled asking her. “So, you know, I called my parents, like, ‘Hey, just so you know, she’s at my house right now.’”

Youtube/ClevelandClinic

Katie’s mom, Alesia, who knew her daughter experienced some hard time during the previous year when she needed to have both her appendix and her gallbladder removed, went to Robert’s house to comfort her daughter, but Katie refused to speak to her or anyone else.

Robert and Alesia then decided to get out of the house and give Katie some time to collect herself, but shortly after, they heard what resembled a door being slammed. They went inside and realized Katie was locked inside the bathroom and the place was filled with the smell of a gunpowder.

“I tried to open the door,” Alesia recalled. “I said, ‘Katie?’ And nothing. And then I said, ‘Katie.’ I said, ‘Are you OK?’ And about the third time I said, ‘Katie,’ that’s when my heart began to just palpitate.”

“At that point, I smelled gunpowder because it was, obviously, indoors, and you can smell it,” her brother Robert added. “And I knew exactly at that point what had happened.”

Katie shot herself in the face, but somehow, she managed to survive although she was completely disfigured.

Youtube/ClevelandClinic

“When she was in that ER … she said, ‘Tell my mom and dad I love her — love them. I’m sorry,’” her father told ABC. “It took a lot of strength.”

Katie lost parts of her forehead, nose, sinuses, and most of her mouth except the corners of her lips. The bones that made up the jaw and front of her face were also gone. Her eyes remained, but were severely damaged.

Doctors tried to reconstruct her severely disfigured face, and her family was told that the only option for a normal life was a face transplant.

“[The doctor] said, ‘This is the worst wound I’ve ever seen, and I think the only thing that will give her any kind of life again will be a face transplant,’” Katie’s father said. “That was the first time we’d ever heard that term.”

Katie herself spoke of the tragic decision to shot herself in the face and the possibility of transplantation. “I had no clue what a face transplant was,” she said. “When my parents helped explain everything to me, I was very excited to get a face again and to have function again.

“I never thought of doing that ever before, and so on hearing about it, I just didn’t know how to handle it,” she recalled. “I felt so guilty that I had put my family through such pain, I felt horrible.”

Youtube/ClevelandClinic

After a year, the family of a 31-year-old woman named Adrea Schneider who suddenly passed away decided to donate her face and Katie was given the chance for a new face. She had undergone a complex surgery which lasted 31 hours, making Katie the youngest ever face transplant

Katie’s procedure involved transplanting the scalp, forehead, upper and lower eyelids, eye sockets, nose, upper cheeks, upper jaw and half of lower jaw, upper teeth, lower teeth, partial facial nerves, muscles, and skin – effectively replacing her entire facial tissue, the clinic explained in a statement.

Cleveland Clinic

“To reach this point of recovery has often times been a difficult road to travel, but I’m thankful there’s been a road – and Cleveland Clinic has been the vehicle to help drive me along,” Katie said shortly after the surgery.

“I am forever grateful for the care this hospital has given me and continues to offer on my journey of recovery and healing. To call my surgeons, physicians, nurses and caregivers’ world class’ would be an understatement. And to my donor and her family – words cannot express the appreciation I have for this incredible gift. With a grateful heart, I say ‘thank you’ to all who have made this possible for me.”

Youtube/ClevelandClinic

The process of recovery took a lot of time and plenty of medications. And although she has received a new face, Katie’s speech is still not very recognizable and she’s using braille lessons twice or thrice a week and speech therapy four times a week.

Fourteen months after the face transplant, doctors have completed three major revision surgeries intended to slim her face, reduce scarring, and improve her eyelids.

“I am able to touch my face now, and it feels amazing,” Katie told CNN.

“You take it for granted, the different components of our faces – the bone, the tissue, the muscle, everything – but when it’s gone, you recognize the big need. Then when you receive a transplant, you’re so thankful.”

Katie has a lot of plans for the future. Among the rest, she wants to attend college and become a counselor and a motivational speaker.

William Shatner confirms he doesn’t have long to live

William Shatner, the legendary Star Trek captain, opened up about his mortality in his upcoming documentary You Can Call Me Bill and said he’s living each day as if it is his last.

“I’ve turned down a lot of offers to do documentaries before. But I don’t have long to live,” he revealed during an interview with Variety. “Whether I keel over as I’m speaking to you or 10 years from now, my time is limited, so that’s very much a factor. I’ve got grandchildren. This documentary is a way of reaching out after I die.”

The documentary, directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Texas and will give fans an inside look of the actor’s personal life as well as highlights of his successful career. His three daughters, Leslie, Lisabeth, and Melanie, have also been featured in the documentary which served as an eye-opener for Shatner.

“I’m trying to discover something I’ve never said before or to find a way to say something I’ve said before in a different way so I can explore that truth further,” the actor said.

“The sad thing is that the older a person gets the wiser they become and then they die with all that knowledge,” he told Variety.

Shatner further said that he doesn’t regret anything, not even his decision not to attend the funeral of his friend and Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy despite the backlash he faced.

“When Leonard Nimoy died a few years ago, his funeral was on a Sunday. His death was very sudden, and I had obligated myself to go to Mar-a-Lago for a Red Cross fundraiser. I was one of the celebrities raising money . . . I chose to keep my promise and go to Mar-a-Lago instead of the funeral,” Shatner shared, and added that good deeds live forever.

Speaking of his personal life and being a grandparent, Shatner told The Guardian several years ago, “Being a grandparent is the greatest joy for me. I have the time now to grab a grandchild and talk, and hug and kiss them and make sure that I’m taking time to be with them and to give them some aspect of the things I’ve learned.

“Family life is totally encompassing,” he added. “I see my daughters every weekend. And we go off on holidays together – everything from skiing to snorkelling.”

Shatner has been married four times in his life. Recently, he made headlines when he got back together with his fourth wife Elizabeth whom he divorced in 2019 after $2 million worth divorce settlement.

Black Canada Lynx caught on camera for the first time

Thomas Jung, an employee of the Government of Yukon, recorded a video which caught the attention of many and stunned many animal lovers.

Namely, this man, who is a researcher, spotted a Canada Lynx, also known as Lynx canadensis, which is a species of lynx native to North America, including Canada and parts of the United States. These animals have typical light brownish-grey fur coat, although there are those with black fur, but until Jung took a video of one, there was no footage showing a black lynx.

The video was taken in 2022 and spread like a wildfire. The Mammalia magazine even published an article titled “Paint it black: first record of melanism in Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis).” 

The rare lynx was spotted in a rural residential area near the town of Whitehorse, Yukon, at a distance of about 50 meters. It was running around until it heard a dog barking and decided to leave.

The Canada Lynx is a solitary and secretive animal.

”It had a black coat containing whitish gray guard hairs throughout, as well as whitish gray hairs in the facial ruff and the rostrum and dorsal regions,” Jung reported and said the grainy video prevented them noticing too many distinctive features.

During the summer time, these animals’ silvery gray coats turn into reddish brown.

According to Jung, these variations are often adaptations that can be of evolutionary benefit (adaptive) or come as a disadvantage (maladaptive). He believes that in the case of the black Canadian lynx this is maladaptive because of the camouflage. It means hat during winter time, when there is snow out there, their distinctive black fur would stand out.

You can take a look at the footage of this rare and stunning animal below.
