John Travolta dancing with Princess Diana remains up until this day one of the most iconic moments of pop culture.

Although he has shown his incredible dancing skills in a number of movies, including Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Pulp Fiction, just to name a few, the actor had his most famous dance back in 1985 at the White House after he barely gathered courage to ask the Princess of the People for a dance.

During the White House state dinner hosted by then-President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Nancy approached the actor and told him that the Princess wanted to dance with him. We can only imagine the joy and excitement young Travolta felt at that particular moment when he was struggling to find the right words and invite Lady Di to the dance floor.

Last week, Travolta spoke to Esquire Mexico and recalled the iconic moment, comparing it to a fairytale.

As reported by People, the now 67-year-old actor said: “I didn’t think they’d ask me to dance with her. I had the great privilege and honor of doing so, and I thought, ‘There must be a reason for doing this and I better give it my all,'” he revealed. “That meant lead the dance well and make sure we had fun. That was the easy part, but just the fact of greeting Diana appropriately, being confident and asking her to dance was a complicated task.”

“Think of the setting. We were at the White House. It’s midnight. The stage is like a dream. I approach her, touch her elbow, invite her to dance,” he said. “She spins around and gives me that captivating smile, just a little sad, and accepts my invitation. And there we were, dancing together as if it were a fairytale.”

In 2016, during Good Morning America appearance, the Pulp Fiction star said that if he could bring anything back from the 80′, he would chose to have another dance with the royal.

Back in 2007, Travolta spoke to the Dutch TV station Één, saying: “I’ll never forget it,” he added. “I’m so honored that I was able to experience this, and I know for a fact that it was her highlight of being in the United States; it was her favorite moment. So I feel I made her life better, she made my life better, and I’m very sorry that she’s not here,” as per People.

If you feel like your faith in humanity has been lots, fear not, as 52-year-old plumber James Anderson is here to restore it.

This kind man with a heart of gold fixes things for vulnerable people without charging them any money.

He used to run a business that he shut down in order to create the non-for-profit company Depher.

Although he has been working for free for some time now, it wasn’t until recently that the story of his kindness spread across the country.

Namely, the bill he gave to a 91-year-old lady with acute-leukemia with total of zero dollars to charge was posted online by the woman’s daughter and vent viral.

On the bill, James, who is a father of five, wrote, “No charge for this lady under any circumstances. We will be available 24 hours to help her and keep her as comfortable as possible.”

“A lot of people close to me ask: why are you getting yourself in to debt? Why are you doing this?” he said.

“To me, debt is debt… I would rather owe some money to somebody and another person be alive and happy and safe.”

Since he started providing free or low-cost plumbing for those in need in 2017, his dept has risen to around $9,940. But he believes that it is nothing compared to the happiness of those he helps.

“It’s an ethos that’s in my heart and it will always stay there.”

Just recently, he decided to ask others to be part of his company so that more vulnerable citizens get the help they desperately need.

“I’ve spoken to quite a few engineers around the country and they’re all for it… it’s just getting the funding,” he said.

“I don’t want any person who is elderly and disabled in this country, in this day and age, to die or suffer because of a cold home or a lack of funding to repair the boiler.”

“It shouldn’t be happening – that number should be down to zero. Simple as that.”

Since his invoice went viral, many people became familiar with his work and James was able to raise $100,000 in donations. He’s no longer struggling to keep his non-profit afloat. 

James really is a very special person. Nowadays, it’s very rare to meet someone who puts the happiness of others above their own, but James is a proof that those people do exist and make this world a much better place.

Officer Rule from the North Bend Police Department went an extra mile for a 4-year-old autistic boy who was saddened because the peppers he was growing got stolen.

Sweet Johnny from Oregon was taking care of his pepper plants and made sure he was checking on them every single day, until one morning when he noticed that they were missing. Johnny felt devastated. He wanted his plants back and couldn’t imagine who could have possibly taken them from the garden.

His parents alerted the police of the incident and Johnny was sure the officers would go above and beyond to find his pepper plants. “Don’t worry, mommy and daddy, the cops will catch him, and they’ll bring my peppers back,” the sweet boy said.

Officer Rule didn’t discover who was the person behind the stealing, but that didn’t prevent him from putting a smile on little Johnny’s face. This incredible man brought Johnny even bigger pepper plant than the one he had.

Thanks to Officer Rule, everything in Johnny’s world seemed right again.

Tiny-home village offering housing gives homeless people the chance to get back on their feet again

The reasons why people end up being homeless are various. According to The National Homelessness Law Center, the top causes of homelessness are lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, mental illness and lack of needed services, and substance abuse.

Based on a number of reports by different organizations, the number of people who didn’t have roof over their head and experienced homelessness on a given night between 2007 and 2020 is 580,466.

It is very obvious that the country struggles to find a solution for this issue, and a woman named Debbie O’Malley, Bernalillo County Commissioner, seems to have found a way to reduce the number of homeless people.

Her idea of a tiny-home community is now a reality and functions perfectly.

The village of tiny homes was built on an unused lot. Those sharing the homes have their ow bed, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a bathroom.

The project started back in 2016, after the voters at the council approved $2 million bond and was only able to be finished in February of this year all thanks to the help of the community. It took that much time because the team working on the project faced a number of challenges, and that included finding a location. Luckily, the Albuquerque Indian Center agreed to lease their land.

“I hope that people see the story and they see what’s happening and they’re like, ‘You know what, we could support something like this in our community,’” Debbie says.

Those renting the homes are only supposed to pay $30 per month and the idea isn’t for them to stick around for long. Debbie believes that providing the homeless with a place to stay and shower would increase their chances of finding a job and getting back on track.

Prince Harry returns to the States “totally thorn” with emotions after meeting his family at Prince Philip’s funeral

Meeting his family, which he criticized in front of 49.1 million people who have seen his and Meghan’s interview with Oprah, must have been hard for Harry.

Rumors are he was ignored by some of the royals, among which Princess Anne and her family, when he arrived in Britain for his grandfather’s funeral last week.

Meghan didn’t accompanied Harry because she was advised by her doctor not to travel, considering she’s around 7 months pregnant. She, however, made sure she was present through the wreath and the handwritten note that she sent. The wreath was reported to be made out of a number of different flowers, all of which had a special meaning. It included bear’s breeches, the national flower of Greece where Prince Philip was born, sea holly flower, which represented Philip’s long-term service in the Royal Marines, rosemary for remembrance, and plenty of other beautiful flowers.

However, as everyone gathered to pay their respects to the Duke, many watched the funeral to see if William and Harry would speak with one another.

After the ceremony, as they were leaving St. George’s Chapel, the brothers engaged in a conversation. Later on, they met with their father in hopes of trying to fix the broken relationship, but according to reports, Harry wasn’t happy with the unplanned meeting and felt “ambushed,” especially because Meghan wasn’t there, as reported by Radar Online.

Harry returned home to his wife and son a day prior to his grandma’s 95th birthday because he wanted to be by their side.

However, after the meeting with the royals, it was reported by royal expert Paul Burrell, who worked as a butler for late Princess Diana for over 10 years and has known Harry since he was still just a child, that the Duke of Sussex feels thorn.

“His heart is on two different sides of the Atlantic now. Meghan will be faced with that dilemma – the bombshell that Harry now feels split in two,” Burrel told Closer.

“Seeing his beloved granny, the Queen, and to face his father and brother would not be easy. Even submerging himself back into the House of Windsor and the buildings that hold so many memories.”

While in Britain, Harry stayed at the Frogmore Cottage, the place where he and Meghan lived before stepping down from their royal duties and leaving UK. So, it is understandable that he was surrounded with a lot of memories that he decided to simply leave behind more than a year ago.

Speaking of Meghan, Butler added, “She will have to figure out what their next steps will be. Those two – from different worlds – are going to have to work it out to align themselves.”

William and Harry will meet again for the statue of late mother Princess Diana which will be unveiled on her birthday.

Queen Elizabeth changed king George V’s rule and made it possible for William’s youngest child to receive an HRH title

On April 23, the third child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Louis Arthur Charles, turned three.

To honor the birthday of the youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, who was born on St George’s Day, the patron saint of England, Kate snapped and shared an incredibly cute photo of Louis riding his bike and getting ready for his first day of nursery school.

Louis got his name after late Prince Philip’s uncle and Prince Charles’ mentor Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was killed in an IRA bombing in 1979.

Although he is fifth in the line of succession to the British throne, Louis is a prince. It was the Queen herself who intervened overwrite king George V’s rule which said that royals too far down the line of succession were no longer entitled to a title. According to Express, it was the Queen’s decision to name William’s firstborn, George, a prince and extend the change to all of Kate and William’s children.

Were it not for Queen Elizabeth, Prince Louis would have been given the honorary title Master Louis Cambridge or Master Louis Windsor.

This rule, however, does not apply for Harry’s children, thus Archie isn’t declared a prince. This was something that obviously bothered the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who accused the royals of not wanting to give their son a title.

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle said: “They didn’t want him to be a prince… which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn’t going to receive security.

“We have in tandem the conversation of, ‘He won’t be given security. He’s not going to be given a title.’ And also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” she added.

Archie, however, will become eligible for an HRH title once his grandfather, Prince Charles, accedes the throne.

When he was born, Archie was entitled to the courtesy title Earl of Dumbarton, which his parents refused.

Currently, Meghan and Harry are expecting their second child, a daughter. Many wondered if Harry, who is extremely devoted to keeping his late mother’s memory alive, will name his baby girl Diana. The Sussexes, however, were reported to have said that the name Diana would mean too much pressure on their daughter, as per a Page Six source. “They are highly unlikely to call their daughter Diana. Their biggest concern is that it would make her a bigger target for the media, and considerably increase public interest in the child’s life.”

After 18 miscarriages over 16 years woman gives birth at 48 years old

Louise Warneford from Swindon, England wanted to be a mother for as long as she could remember. So when she met her loving husband Mark in 1999, she knew they would make the perfect family. 

They both wanted to be parents really badly, but things didn’t go as planned for this couple. Throughout the 16 years of marriage, Louis had 18 miscarriages. Many would think that after such ordeal one would stop trying, but Louis never thought of giving up on her dream of someone calling her ‘mommy.’ 

Her determination finally paid off after she gave birth to a healthy baby boy at 48 years old. Sweet William made all the struggle and the huge amount of money spent on IFV worth it. 

The treatments were pretty expensive because Mark had undergone a vasectomy during his previous relationship. Louis, however, didn’t have troubles getting pregnant, but she couldn’t carry the babies past 14 weeks into the pregnancy. 

“Each time I got my hopes up and thought that ‘this was it’ and I was going to have the perfect family I’d always wanted – I couldn’t stop crying every time I miscarried,” Louise shared with the Daily Mail.

“We decided to try IVF but despite falling pregnant a number of times, we always lost the baby.”

After so many failed pregnancies, the doctors finally discovered the reason why Louis was losing her babies. As it turned out, her own cells were killing the embryos. But now as they tracked down the problem, they could work on finding the solution. 

Thankfully, this last time, the pregnancy was a healthy one and it resulted in Louis giving birth to her bundle of joy. 

She was over the moon. After that much time, she could finally embrace ‘her whole world’ in her arms. 

“When the surgeon handed him to me, I just couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe my luck, I still can’t he was beautiful, I felt as if I’d won the lottery,” she told 5 News.

She knows how devastating it can be to be trying to have a child for so many years, but she never lost hope and she wants her story to serve as an inspiration for other couples who are facing the same problem.

We congratulate the happy parents on the new addition to their family!
