One of the biggest sex-symbols of the 80’s, Tom Selleck, made a name for himself portraying the role of detective Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. The series which aired for eight years, from 1980 to 1988, earned Tom an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe.

Before he played this role which cemented his place in Hollywood, Tom worked as a model, but soon after, he found himself joining the California National Guard in the 160th infantry regiment and served from 1967 to 1973. Speaking of that period of his life, Tom is proud to say he’s a veteran “I was a sergeant in the U.S. Army infantry, National Guard, Vietnam era. We’re all brothers and sisters in that sense.”

After his service, he turned to acting, and the rest is history.

Millions of women fell for his charm and great looks, and men started growing mustache like their idol. At the time, Tom was really a symbol for masculinity. After Magnum P.I, Tom played the role of Monica Geller’s (Courteney Cox)  boyfriend in the popular TV series Friends, and his recent project is the CBS police drama Blue Bloods. He starred in Three Men and a Baby (the highest-grossing film of 1987), Mr. Baseball and Quigley Down Under.

In 1971, he married model and actress Jacqueline Ray, but the pair divorced in 1982. Since 1987, Tom is married to the love of his life, wife Jillie Joan Mack.

Tom first laid eyes on Jillie during the production of Cats where she played Rumpleteazer. The actor, who was 38 at the time, was so smitten with this young actress that he kept coming back for a number of showings. His co-star Jane Seymour told People, ”He kept telling me how great ‘Cats’ was, I thought it was good, but I couldn’t see going back a dozen times.”

One dinner was more than enough for the two to realize that they belonged together. The pair has been married for 33 years and are still very much in love.

In 1988, they welcomed daughter Hannah.

The Selleck family is doing their best to live a normal life as much as possible. Hannah, who is now 32 years old, has been brought up at the family ranch in California where the Sellecks live until this day. She is a huge lover of animals, especially horses, passion that she inherited from her father. Today, the father and daughter are running a horse stable together. “My dad encouraged it a lot. He liked the idea of developing the babies and developing young horses, so he was a big supporter of this idea,” Hannah told the Hollywood Reporter. ”We want to show that we can produce the horses in the States, having them on the ground as foals and bringing them up through the young horse classes,” she told Sidelines.

Tom is 75 and enjoys his days with his loving wife and daughter. He and Jillie often say that the secret to their long and happy marriage is that they have always taken time off from work to be with each other and consult one another about basically anything. In an interview with the USA Today, Tom said, “I do grunt work and I make the rounds. I like watching things grow. It’s a retreat.”

QAnon supporters believe Oprah was wearing an ankle monitor during bombshell Harry and Meghan interview

Even days after it was broadcasted, Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Harry and Meghan is still a top news and is causing a stir on the social media.

Many of the revelations were shocking to say the least, and while some defend them, and others slam them, I am sure there is not a single person who doesn’t have an opinion about everything that is going on within the Royal family.

According to CBS, the bombshell interview which made headlines was watched by staggering 17 million people.

Among the rest, the couple spoke of the conversations by one of the senior royals about how dark the skin of Archie would be. Harry, however, said he would never reveal the name of that person as they wanted to protect the Royal family. “That conversation, I am never going to share. At the time it was awkward, I was a bit shocked,” he told Oprah.

Meghan spoke of her suicidal thoughts and how she was not provided help as it would harm the Institution’s reputation.

But as literally the entire world has been obsessed with what the Duke and Duchess had to say, the conspiracy group QAnon is shifting the focus and is presenting this theory that the host was wearing an ankle monitor during the first tell-all interview with the former royals.

The popular QAnon channel We The Media, which operates on the messaging app Telegram, posted the question “Oprah ankle monitor?”

This was more than enough to start their 200,000 followers speaking and spreading the word. They claim she was trying to hid it with her boots.

“So obvious, first few minutes she was strategically keeping both her feet behind that little table then got comfortable or forgot about need to conceal it … she should fire the camera man,“ Telegram user Roxanne F. wrote. Another user, Stroud Mom, added: “At the furthest point away from the mouth, and where the microphone would pick up on any time she repositioned herself, in her seat? I don’t think so.“

When it comes to this group’s theories, including the one which claimed that Donald Trump would be re-inaugurated as President of the United States on March 4, they never turn to be true.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s daughters are following in their famous parents’ footsteps

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are one of the most famous Aussie couples. Although she was born in the Hawaii and he’s from New Zealand, they consider Australia their home.

Not only they are celebs many love and admire, but they look awesome together.

The story behind how the two started dating resembles a fairy-tale. Kidman confessed during a 2007 interview with Vanity Fair that when she first met Urban in 2005 at a “G-Day LA” event which honors the work of Australians, she was secretly engaged to someone else. However, just three months after this serendipitous encounter, the two were engaged.

“There was an enormous attraction initially and we got engaged after three months and then we got married really quickly, but we didn’t really know each other,” the actress said, according to Metro. “We really only got to know each other after we were married.”

“I think meeting at a certain age makes a difference. And I trust my gut instinct. From the first minute I met him, there was a feeling of, Ahhh OK, somehow I’ve met home. And he had the same feeling. That was all we had but that was the essence of what we worked from.”

The couple has two biological daughters, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 12, and Faith Margaret, 9. When Sunday was born, Keith shared the news with fans on his website. “Earlier this morning Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.”

Everyone was anticipating to see photos of the baby, but most of all, they were eager to learn the story behind the unique name. The proud mom later explained how one of her family members suggested it after reading about Sunday Reed, an early patron on the arts in Australia.

Urban is an incredible father who never misses the chance to speak of Kidman’s love for their daughters.

“She’s an extraordinary mum, she really, really is. Those girls are very, very lucky, and I feel very lucky that the children I should have in this world happen to be with Nic. I don’t know anything about raising kids and Nic does, and that comes in extremely, um, it’s really made for an experience I wouldn’t have had without that. Her patience, her recognizing them as people and not just little kids is really extraordinary. Her attention to honoring their feelings and listening to them right from day one – really being attentive to that is not how I was raised at all, so it’s really beautiful to see.”

Being kids of such celebrities like Kidman and Urban, one would assume the girls are spoiled rotten, but the truth is completely different. They tend to keep them out of the spotlight and impose some rules they should follow, like no TVs in their rooms and no computers in bed.

“We’re pretty strict with the boundaries on what we allow in terms of work into our home. I used to have an office in my house and I just got rid of it – it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I finally went, ‘This is not a good thing,’” the actress told Country Fan Cast.

Although they are still very young, it looks like Sunday and Faith are both following into their parents’ footsteps. They both play an instrument, the violin and the piano. On top of that, they are both into acting. In fact, the girls were extras on the set of the award-winning TV show “Big Little Lies.” After this unique experience, Sunday told her mom how she wants to be a director when she grows up. Faith had her first acting experience with her first voice-over role in Angry Birds 2.

“You can’t really get kids into anything, I’ve realized,” Kidman told People magazine. “You can push them a bit, but motivation is a really hard thing. I mean, nobody motivated me to be an actor; if anything they tried to deter me.”

Urban says that being a father is a feeling no other can beat. “It’s an incredible feeling. And having girls — I love having girls. You know, I come from a family with no sisters, one brother. So, it’s been quite the learning curve in a really good way.”

The family is the happiest when they are together and are spending their days at their home in Australia.

Grandfather wants his dog to be euthanized because he “doesn’t want to take care of her any longer”

Melissa, a 34-year-old woman from Conyers, GA, brings a ray of hope in the life of many senior dogs everyone else quit on.

She has always been a passionate animal lover and an advocate, and now that she had a house with 11 acres of land, her dream of starting a rescue organization that would offer support and shelter to dogs in need finally came true.

“For the dogs that come to us and can be rehabilitated and adopted out, we’re going to do so. We’ll do everything we can to give them a chance at love and a family for their last years,” Melissa wrote on Facebook. “For those who are too old or too sick, we’ll be their family. They’ll live here until its their time to go, and when they do go to heaven.”

Just recently, Melissa got a call from the vet who treats her dog’s at Old Dog Home. What she heard broke her heart. One dog owner brought his pooch at the vet’s asking for the animal to be euthanized. And although this request isn’t that uncommon, it was the reason behind it that left Melissa raged. Apparently, the other wanted his dog’s life to be ended simply because he got bored taking care of her.

When Melissa arrived at the vet’s office, she stumbled upon a very gentle dog. She couldn’t believe someone could abandon such a sweet creature.

Despite being around 10 to 12 years old, the dog now named Holly was in a good heath condition. Old Dog Home was full with residents, but Melissa couldn’t turn her back on an animal whose owners wanted killed so she took Holly in.

As it turned out, Holly had a couple of owners throughout the years, and her last family said how they already had two dogs and their grand kids weren’t interested in playing with a senior dog.

“I don’t like to pick on children, but the granddaughter looked at me and shrugged – ‘We just don’t really like her. We like our other dogs better.’ Meanwhile, the dog stood there, wagging and wagging and wagging her tail,” Melissa wrote.

Holly is now treated for yeast infection, which is the reason why she urinated that much.

Although she felt insecure when she first arrived in her new home, Holly quickly realized she could trust Melissa.

“My real calling in life is to show people that “old” doesn’t mean “dead”… Old dogs still have life and love left to give,” Melissa wrote. “They are remarkably resilient and forgiving, and they deserve to have a chance at a Forever Family just as much as any younger dog does.”

Holly still needs time to heal emotionally, but once she feels better, Melissa will try to find her a loving new home. Of course, in case that doesn’t happen, she can always stay at Old Dog Home and spend her last years there.

“And then I will have another open spot, and I’ll save another old abandoned dog that nobody wanted,” Melissa continued. “That’s the dream, folks. That’s the dream!”

Please share this video and spread the word about Holly, maybe it will help find her forever home sooner than we think.

Kansas city won’t let their veterans stay homeless

We always speak how the members of the military sacrifice a lot in order to keep our country safe, and most Americans have deep respect for those fighting for our freedom, but do we do enough for them as a country? The sad reality is that many veterans are struggling to continue with their old ways of living after service and a huge number of them suffer from PTSD and are left homeless.

Luckily, the city of Kansas is stepping up for these members of the community through the non-profit organization Veterans Community Project.

“Veteran Community Project refuses to let any Veteran falls through the cracks. From providing housing to offering walk-in support services, we are here for everyone who took the oath to serve America,” their website reads.

During the past two years, the organization built and equipped 13 homes. They may look tiny, but they provide everything one needs in order to lead a normal life. Besides housing, the veterans are provided with classes that will teach them how to budget money, cook, stay healthy and combat substance abuse.

The organization announced that during the second phase of the project, they are planning on building 19 more homes.

“One of the vets was sitting out there last week, watching the houses get built and was in tears,” Mark Solomon told FOX4.

“Literally just crying about the fact that he was going to be moving into one of these houses. That’s real. That’s what makes this all worth it and yeah, it’s a ton of time and a ton of effort, but we’re gonna be able to help these people.”

Offering the homeless veterans a place to stay is a wind at their back which will help them stay on the right path and will give them a new lease on life.

Bear trapped inside a tiny cage for 9 years jumps of joy when he sees water for the first time

If you want to see the true face of happiness, just take a look at the moon bear Tuffy having the time of his life at his new sanctuary. This poor bear’s life was a tough one. He was kept at a bear farm where he spent nine long years trapped in a ‘torture vest’ and packed into a tiny cage. 

Unfortunately, there are lots of other bears who share Tuffy’s life and aren’t lucky enough to be rescued the way he was. These farms use these gorgeous creatures for their bile which is extracted directly from their gallbladders. Yes, this is as painful as it sounds. If you wonder why someone would do this, it’s because Chinese people use it in the traditional medicine.

Tuffy’s gallbladder was severely damaged and had to be removed, along with some of his teeth, while his paws were sour and cracked. “The cracked paws are common to bile farm bears as they only walk on bars, not grass. Dehydration is likely to have contributed to this too,” Animals Asia Bear Manager Louise Ellis said.

Most of these bears never get the chance to see the sun, or roam freely. Luckily for Tuffy, Animals Asia stepped in and managed to get him out of that awful place. He now gets to spend his days doing everything that makes him happy, and that’s swimming in his sanctuary pool.

Watching Tuffy having fun is definitely something you don’t want to miss. 

Woman duct-taped to seat after trying to open plane door mid-flight

An unnamed woman who was on the flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Charlotte on July 6 was strapped to her seat with a duct tape by the flight attendants after she probably suffered a mental breakdown and tried opening the front boarding door mid-flight.

The video of the incident and what appears to be a woman with a gray hear and a duct tape on her hands, ankles, and mouth was shared on TikTok by user @lol.airee.

American Airlines confirmed the incident taking place on the flight and explained that the crew had to act in order to deal with the situation which disturbed the passengers. At first, the crew tried calming the woman down, but to no avail. According to Business Insider “all flight attendants were running up and down the aisles, frantically kind of like whispering to each other.”

“She was saying, ‘I need to get off this plane,’ and she went up to the exits and started banging on the doors, saying, ‘You need to let me off this plane!’” the paper said, citing @lol.ariee.

During the attempt to bring her to her senses, the frantic woman tried physically assaulting some of the members of the crew by scratching and biting.

Once the plane landed and all of the 190 passengers got off the aircraft, the woman was taken to hospital for evaluation.

The person who posted the video didn’t approve of how the company dealt with the emergency and believed they could do something different instead of duck taping someone who was visibly distressed. American Airlines, however, believe they acted accordingly and were only trying to protect the rest of the people on the flight.

“[The woman] attempted to open the forward boarding door and physically assaulted, bit, and caused injury to a flight attendant. We applaud our crew for their professionalism and quick effort to protect those on board,” a spokesperson told Business Insider in an emailed statement.

While an investigation regarding the incident is ongoing, American Airlines has reportedly put the woman on their “no-fly” list.

We are glad the woman didn’t harm herself or any of the passengers.

All about the relationship between Meghan Markle and her father Thomas

Megan Markle’s relationship with her father Thomas has always been of significant interest to the wide public and the media. According to a number of magazines, the former actress and now Duchess of Sussex and her father used to be very close and their relationship was nowhere near complicated as it is today.

In the past, the Suits actress spoke how her love for the film and especially the theater developed exactly because of her dad who used to take her on the set of the many movies and series he worked on as a lighting director and director of photography.

Youtube/ET

Although she was familiar with how the industry worked, Meghan reportedly never wanted her story to be a cliché and she refused to be known as the L.A. girl who dreamed of becoming an actress, so she attended the Northwestern University where she studied communication. Later on, she moved to Illinois to double-major in both theater and international relations at the prestigious Evanston school.

She first caught the public’s eye as a briefcase girl on the game show Deal or No Deal.

“I was the ill-fated number 26, which for some reason no one would ever choose,” she told Esquire. “I would end up standing up there forever in these terribly uncomfortable and inexpensive five-inch heels just waiting for someone to pick my number so I could go and sit down.”

She had some minor roles in the films Get Him to the Greek and Remember Me, as well as the television series General Hospital. In 2011, she landed the role of paralegal Rachel Zane in the hit series Suits. She was working on it until 2018, when she married Prince Harry.

Up until this point, Meghan and her father were still very close. But it all changed shortly before the wedding took place when she got mad at Thomas for staging photos with the paparazzi. He was “incidentally” caught reading about Britain and getting a suit for his daughter’s big day.

Following this, he experienced heart problems and was prevented to attend the wedding.

Two months after the wedding, Thomas spoke to Daily Mail knowing that would compromise his relationship with Meghan even further. Among the rest, he said his daughter looked “terrified” and referred to the British family as a “cult.”

“I tell you, I’ve just about reached my limit with Meghan and the Royal Family,” he said. “They want me to be silent, they want me to just go away. But I won’t be silenced. “I refuse to stay quiet. What riles me is Meghan’s sense of superiority. She’d be nothing without me. I made her the Duchess she is today. Everything that Meghan is, I made her.”

Meghan wrote Thomas a five-page letter begging him not to talk to the press. But just days after she sent it, parts of the letter were published in the media. Meghan decided to sue the Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), publisher of the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline. Her lawyer said in court that the publication of the “intrinsically private, personal and sensitive” letter was “unlawful” and “a triple-barrelled invasion of her privacy rights”, according to the Mirror.

“I ask for nothing other than peace and I wish the same for you,” the last line of the letter read.

After stepping down from their royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the States together with their baby boy Archie.
