Known for his turbulent love life as much as he’s known for his incredible roles and films, actor Clint Eastwood is one lucky man.

Throughout his career, which spans 60 years, Eastwood has won a number of awards, including four Academy Awards. His western Unforgiven, which he directed and starred in, earned him Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director in 1992. Some 12 years later, Million Dollar Baby won four Academy Awards, with Eastwood getting two; for Best Picture and Best Director.

Among the movies he starred in during his career are the westerns A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and of course, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which are widely known as “spaghetti westerns,” Dirty Harry, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Changeling, Gran Torino and American Sniper.

The good thing about Eastwood is that despite his age, he’s not planning on slowing down as he’s got to offer even more to the film industry, both on screen and behind the camera.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres about getting old, the legendary actor said: “I don’t think about it. I sometimes think, when I was a little kid, I used to hang out with my grandfather who was in his nineties. And I thought… who the hell would want to live this long?”

Eastwood has eight children from two marriages and flings throughout his life. He married Maggie Johnson in 1953 and the two had two children together, Kyle and Alison. However, shortly after they tied the knot, the Million Dollar Baby director had an affair with a woman from Seattle which resulted with a daughter, Laurie, that Eastwood learned of and met later in life.

Although he remained married to Johnson until 1984, Eastwood had plenty of affairs, including that with Sondra Locke with whom he was together for nine years before he divorced his wife. Locke was also married, but she never divorced her husband.

Eastwood has daughter Kimber with a stunt-woman named Roxanne Tunis, son Scott and daughter Kathryn with Jacelyn Reeves, a flight attendant, daughter Francesca with actress Frances Fisher and another daughter, Morgan, with second wife, news anchor Dina Ruiz.

Morgan had a normal childhood besides being the daughter of a Hollywood legend. Unlike many children of famous actors, she didn’t start acting as a child, although she had minor roles in some of her dad’s movies.

Morgan, who was born in 1996, starred as a young girl on a tricycle in the 2008 film Changeling and the 2004 hit movie Million Dollar Baby. Moreover, she also had a small role in the 2009 film Johnny Mercer: The Dream’s On Me, starring alongside Julie Andrews.

It wasn’t until the show Mrs. Eastwood & Company aired on E! in 2012 that the world learned more about Morgan.

In 2019, this young lady served as an executive producer for the short I See You, in which she also starred.

Speaking with TreatyMyOCD, Morgan revealed that she had OCD, and that she has had it her entire life, but wasn’t diagnosed until she reached 20.

“My mom often jotted down her thoughts about my cuteness and quirkiness in my baby journal. She documented how I, at age two, would throw tantrums when my layered shirt sleeves didn’t line up perfectly. Of course, I don’t remember those exact moments, but I understand my toddler-aged reasoning. Twenty-something years later, I’ll still want to bawl my eyes out if something doesn’t feel ‘just right,’” she said.

“This applies to many scenarios: the manner in which I clean something unsanitary, picking my face, rotate my left shoulder while seated or walking, or adjusting my knee so that it pops a certain number of times. Oh, and obsessively purchasing things that I believe I need at that moment. If I don’t find that ‘just right’ feeling, a sense of unease and panic builds up and pulses through my veins, leading me into what feels like is going to be a permanently petrified state of mind.”

“Acquiescing to discomfort is what helps me most on a day-to-day basis. Thoughts now pass through my mind, in one side and out the other, as quickly as they appear, and that’s extremely comforting,” Morgan continued, adding that now, in 2023, she has stopped seeing doctors to seek physical explanations of what is a very mental thing.

“I exercise, even though I’ve never loved to because I know it makes my brain and body genuinely feel good. I surround myself with the greatest support system I can imagine, and I am my most authentic self around my friends, family, and even people I meet on the street, I can laugh about my idiosyncrasies. This may be a lifelong journey, but if OCD wants to try to drag me along, I’ll at least try to pick myself up and run with it,” Morgan Eastwood told TreatMyOCD.

On June 17, Morgan and her boyfriend Tanner Kooopmans announced they were engaged. He, just like Morgan, graduated from Loyola Marymount University.

We wish Morgan only the best life brings.

What Melania is calling Barron behind closed doors is finally revealed

By

Barron Trump is the youngest son of former president and mogul Donald Trump, yet he’s living a life out of the spotlight and seems like a down-to-earth young man.

Barron was born in 2006, the same year when Donald and Melania tied the knot. He grew up in the Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he is reported to have an entire floor for himself. Although he has lived surrounded by luxury, he never had a traditional nanny while growing up. Instead, Melania took all the care of him, and that included preparing him breakfast and lunch every day.

In the past, she spoke of him as a very creative child. In a 2015 People interview, she said: “Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time as you know my husband is traveling all the time.”

“We keep it down to a minimum,” Trump added. “If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”

They let his creativity grow and never limit him when it comes to his interests. Speaking to Parenting, as quoted by Metro, Melania said: “In his space, the décor style of the rest of our home is mixed with what he is into: planes and helicopters.

“We let him be creative; let his imagination fly and do whatever he wants. Whatever he wants to do with his own room later on, he can do it. Whatever he wants to do with his own room he can do it. He draws on the walls, we can paint it over.

“When he was smaller, he started drawing on the walls,” she added. “His imagination is growing and important. He draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over. One day he was playing bakery and he wrote ‘Barron’s Bakery’ on the wall with crayons. He is very creative, if you say to a child ‘no, no, no,’ where does the creativity go?”

Just around 20 minutes after Barron was born, his father called MSNBC’s long-running radio show “Imus in the Morning,” hosted by Don Imus, to reveal the great news.

“Everyone’s perfect,” Donald Trump, who was 59 at the time, told Imus.

“I continue to stay young, right? I produce children, I stay young,” while Melania’s website posted that the baby weighted in at 8 1/2 pounds and was 21 inches long.

Besides English, Barron also speaks his mom’s native language, Slovenian. What’s most, Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal, which focuses on Melania, Barron and his mom speak Slovenian with each other.

“There’s a unit within the family unit, and it’s Melania, her mother, her father, and Barron,” Jordan told CBS News. “And they all speak Slovenian.”

Further, Jordan said that Donald isn’t always happy when his wife and son speak Slovenian because he never learned the language himself.

“He has said it annoys him sometimes ’cause he has no idea what they’re saying,’” Jordan explained.

However, despite the fact he spends more time with his mom than his dad, Barron resembles his father in many ways. That is the reason why Melania gave him a special nickname.

“He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants,” Melania told Parenting. “He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him ‘Little Donald.’”

The former First Lady continued: “He likes the way he talks, the way he is. They have beautiful respect and admiration for each other.”

If you ever notice your door handle with a rubber band on it do not touch it

Our home is our sanctuary. It is the place where we should feel safest, a place where we get to get the rest we deserve after a long and tiring day. Our home is our comfort zone and we should never feel threatened when inside.

In order to be sure that no one is violating their privacy, plenty of people install surveillance cameras on their property, but even in such cases, robbers find ways to enter people’s homes.

Recently, a Texan woman named Kim Fleming Cernigliaro shared a story in order to raise awareness and warn others of the recent trick robbers use in order to get inside your home.

Namely, she was home alone when she heard someone knocking on the door. The knocking soon turned into what sounded like pounding. However, as she wasn’t expecting anyone, she decided not to open the door.

As the knocking became even louder, she got a bit scared and decided to wait for a while before she goes outside and checks if anyone is still around.

After some time, as it looked like the person had left, she went downstairs and opened the front door and that’s when she noticed a rubber band on the door handle. Puzzled and unaware of what that might be, she decided to call the police and report the incident.

When the officers arrived at her home, they explained that other people from the area reported rubber bands being placed on their door handles and went on to explain why would robbers place them there.

As it turned out, when a homeowner answers and unlatches the door to open it, the rubber band props the latch open. This way, the criminals can easily push their way through and get inside the house. As the latch is kept open by the rubber band, the homeowner is unable to close the door and lock it.

Kim is now trying to warn others to be extra cautious when they open their door to complete strangers.

Woman gets the best of her obnoxious atheist neighbor

Nowadays, it seems that everyone is easily offended by everything. What’s most, many people object the idea that someone else could be right and that they could be wrong. Sadly, there are opinionated people all around us.

The following joke involves two people who have different beliefs and how they handle that. This is going to make you laugh.

A religious woman, upon waking up each morning would open her front door, stand on the porch, and scream, “Praise the Lord.”

This infuriated her atheist neighbor who would always make sure to counter back, “There is no Lord.”

One morning the atheist neighbor overheard his neighbor praying for food. Thinking it would be funny, he went and bought her all sorts of groceries and left them on her porch.

The next morning the lady screamed, “Praise the Lord, who gave me this food.”

The neighbor laughing so hard he could barely get the words out screamed, “It wasn’t the Lord, it was me.”

The lady without missing a beat screamed,

“Praise the Lord for not only giving me food but making the atheist pay for it!!“

Mother delivers a compelling lesson on respect after receiving a call from her daughter’s school

By

Whether the following story is authentic or not, the moral behind it is that we should always stand up for our family, even when the system seems to fail us and when everyone we try to reach out to about our problems falls on deaf ears, just like one mother did.

I’m an ER Nurse. We’re not allowed to keep our phones on us, they’re to be kept in our lockers. A call comes into hospital reception on a private line for me.

Phone: “This is (teacher) from (school). There’s been an incident involving (daughter). We need you to come in.”

Me: “Is she ill or injured? Can it wait until my shift is over in two hours?”

Phone: “Your daughter has struck another pupil. We’ve been trying to call you for 45 minutes. It really is very serious.”

I go to the school and am ushered into the principal’s office. I see my daughter, a male teacher, a female counselor, the principal, a boy with blood around his nose and a red face, and his parents.

Principal: “How kind of you to FINALLY join us!”

Me: “Yeah, things get busy in the ER. I’ve spent the last hour administering over 40 stitches to a seven-year-old who was beaten by his mother with a metal ladle and then I had to deal with the police regarding the matter. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

After watching him try to not act embarrassed, he tells me what has happened. The boy had twanged my daughter’s bra and she had punched him in the face twice. I got the impression they were more angry with my daughter than the boy.

Me: “Oh. And you want to know if I’m going to press charges against him for sexually assaulting my daughter and against the school for allowing him to do it?”

They all get jittery when I mention sexual assault and start speaking at once.

Teacher: “I don’t think it was that serious.”

Counselor: “Let’s not over-react.”

Principal: “I think you’re missing the point.”

Continue…

The boy’s mother then starts crying. I turn to my daughter to find out what happened.

Daughter: “He kept pinging my bra. I asked him to stop but he didn’t, so I told Mr. (teacher). He told me to ‘ignore it.’ (Boy) did it again and undid my bra so I hit him. Then he stopped.”

I turn to the teacher.

Me: “You let him do this? Why didn’t you stop him? Come over here and let me touch the front of your trousers.”

Teacher: “What? No!”

Me: “Does that seem inappropriate to you? Why don’t you go and pull on Mrs. (Counselor)’s bra right now. See how fun it is for her. Or on that boy’s mom’s bra. Or mine. You think just because they’re kids it’s fun?”

Principal: “Mrs. (my name). With all due respect, (daughter) still beat another child.”

Continue…

Me: “No. She defended herself against a sexual attack from another pupil. Look at them; he’s a foot taller than her and twice as heavy. How many times should she have let him touch her? If the person who was supposed to help and protect her in a classroom couldn’t be bothered what should she have done? He pulled her bra so hard it came undone.”

The boy’s mom is still crying and his dad looks both angry and embarrassed. The teacher won’t make eye contact with me. I look at the principal.

Continue…

Me: “I’m taking her home. I think the boy has learned his lesson. And I hope nothing like this ever happens again, not only to (daughter), but to any other girl at this school.

I was so angry I gathered my daughter’s things and left. I reported it to the superintendent, and was assured it was strongly dealt with.

This story just goes to show, a mother will do anything to defend her child, and it’s a powerful reminder that it is never okay to be treated with disrespect.

BREAKING UPDATE In Charlotte Sena, 9, who disappeared during family camping trip at NY state park

By

9-year-old Charlotte Sena was camping with her family when she went missing on Sept. 30 while on a solo bike ride at Moreau Lake State Park in Saratoga County, about 50 miles north of Albany. When she failed to return after around 15 minutes, her family went looking for her. At at 6:45 p.m her bike was found, but Sena was nowhere to be seen. Her mother called the police and reported that her daughter was missing after which the law enforcement began an extensive search.

Early Sunday morning an Amber Alert was issued.

“Following our exhaustive search of the park we took that step of issuing the Amber Alert because we felt that that exhaustive search, when we couldn’t find her here, it was quite possible that an abduction had taken place,” said Lt. Colonel Richard Mazzone of the Uniform Force of the State Police.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children stated that Charlotte “was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that (she is) in imminent danger of serious harm and/or death.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul remarked at a press conference on Sunday, “We are leaving no stone, no branch, no table, no cabin unturned, untouched, and unexamined in our search to find Charlotte.”

Over a thousand people, including residents, police, and forest rangers took part in the search. Bloodhounds, drones, and boats were all being used in the search of the state park.

Breakthrough in the case came when the police watching Charlotte’s family home noticed someone dropping of mail in the mailbox. Police were able to pull fingerprints off the note, which led them to a man named Ross whom they linked to a property owned by his mother. The police made entry and found him in a camper by the evening of Oct. 2.

“After some resistance, the suspect was taken into custody and immediately the little girl was found in a cabinet,” Hochul said. “She knew she was being rescued. She knew that she was in safe hands.”

Jene, Charlotte’s aunt, told NBC News that until the girl was located, it seemed as if Charlotte had “disappeared almost into thin air.”

“I mean it was, minutes, minutes between when she was last seen and when she wasn’t there anymore.”

Luckily, the girl was found safe and sound.

The man almost instantly regretted the evening he had spent with a stunning woman

A young married man met a woman and she agreed to spend the night with him for $500. However, once everything ended, he felt like the night wasn’t as good as he had imagined and believed the sum he agreed to pay was a bit too much.

Before partying ways, they decided that he pays her with a check designating it as “apartment rent” that he would mail to her.

Because of his lack of satisfaction, he decided to send her half the sum agreed along with a letter clarifying his reasons for it.

He wrote:

“Dear Madam,

Enclosed, you will find a $250 check intended for your rent. I sent a different amount than originally agreed upon because, at the time of renting, I had certain expectations: the apartment had never been occupied, I anticipated ample heating, and I imagined it would be comfortable and homely. However, last night, I discovered it had been previously inhabited, lacked heating, and was excessively spacious.”

After reading the letter she received, the woman returned the check on $250 and replied:

“Dear Sir,

Firstly, I’m astounded by the notion that you expected a beautiful apartment to remain vacant indefinitely. As for heating, it is available if you know how to operate it. Concerning the room’s size, it is, in fact, quite sufficient. If you find the furnishings unsatisfactory, kindly refrain from attributing it to the landlord’s negligence! Please remit a check for the full $500, or I will have no choice but to contact your current landlord.”

This story is a reminder that we should never make assumptions and hasty decision, or we would need to face the consequences.

This teacher never expected this explanation of child birth

By

Children are the most innocent creatures there are. They always speak their mind and are honest to the core, which can easily put them into trouble. But that’s simply in their nature, and getting mad at them isn’t what grown ups should ever do.

A primary school teacher was witnessed an unforgettable “show-and-tell” presentation on childbirth by one of her students. The little one’s words were so interesting, that her story was shared on the social media and it’s circulating there for years, making many laugh.

Grammar School Teacher recounts: “I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.

“Usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it to school and talk about it, they’re welcome.

“Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. ‘This is Luke, my baby brother, and I’m going to tell you about his birthday. First, Mommy and Daddy made him as a symbol of their love, and then Daddy put a seed in my mother’s stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for 9 months through an umbrella cord.’ She’s standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying not to laugh and wishing I had a video camera rolling. The kids are watching her in amazement.

“‘Then, about two Saturdays ago, my mother starts going, “Oh, oh, oh!”‘ Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. ‘She walked around the house for, like an hour, “Oh, oh, oh!”‘ Now this kid is doing this hysterical duck-walk, holding her back and groaning. ‘My father called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man. They got my mother to lay down in bed like this.’ Erica lies down with her back against the wall. ‘And then, pop! My mother had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!’

“The kid has her legs spread and with her little hands is miming water flowing away. It was too much!

“‘Then the middle wife starts going push, push, and breathe, breathe. They start counting, but they never even got past 10. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff they said was from the play-center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there.’

“Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I’m sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder – just in case another Erica comes along.”

If you like this story, here’s a bonus story with a beautiful message.

“When God created Woman, he was working late on the sixth day.

An Angel came by and asked, ‘Why spend so much time on her?’

The Lord answered, ‘Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?’”

“‘She must function on all kinds of situations.

She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart.

She must do all this with only two hands.

She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.’”

“The Angel was impressed. ‘Just two hands? Impossible! And this is the standard model?’

The Angel came closer and touched the woman. ‘But you have made her so soft, Lord.’

‘She is soft,’ said the Lord, ‘but I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.’”

“‘Can she think?’ the Angel asked.

The Lord answered, ‘Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.’

The Angel touched her cheeks. ‘Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.’

‘She is not leaking. It is a tear,’ the Lord corrected the Angel.

‘What’s it for?’ asked the Angel.

The Lord said, ‘Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.’”

“This made a big impression on the Angel. ‘Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvelous.’

The Lord said, ‘Indeed she is. She has strength that amazes a man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions.

‘She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid. She fights for what she believes in.

‘Her love is unconditional. Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life.’”

“The Angel asked, ‘So she is a perfect being?’

The Lord replied, ‘No. She has just one drawback.’

‘She often forgets what she is worth.’”

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribeiro‘s daughter Ava Sue was involved in a scooter accident which led to injuries that required a surgery. The incident took place just a day before the girl’s fourth birthday.

Ava Sue sustained the injuries after falling off of her sit-down scooter. Unfortunately, she was left with bad scaring, extensive bruising and bad burns on her right elbow, shoulder, and around her right eye.

Both Alfonso and his wife Angela Ribeiro posted updated on Ava Sue’s condition.

So proud of how brave my baby girl was during the surgery,” Alfonso wrote, along with photos of his daughter, as he thanked the medical staff for their quick reaction.

Angela on the other hands said that she had a feeling that something bad would happen, calling it a motherly instinct.

“I announced to the fam, kids, sitter & friends helping out getting ready for Ava’s birthday party that ‘we are not doing anything crazy or dangerous today that could potentially end up with an ER visit.’ I literally made everyone lock eyes to me when I said these words,” she posted.

The girl fell off of the scooter shortly after her mom’s prediction.

When Ava Sue was taken to Kare MD Skin Health, doctor Dr. Raffy decided she need to undergo a surgery in order to minimize the risks od potential scaring.

“Not a fun way to spend your last day as a 3-year old, but she was a trooper,” the mom wrote. “Giving this sweet girl some extra cuddles tonight.”

The staff at Kare MD Skin Health took their time to wish their young patient a very happy birthday through their Instagram and thank Alfonso for trusting their daughter to them.

“Thank you for the very kind words [Alfonso]. We are so honored to take care of your precious princess Ava. Best wishes for a speedy recovery,” they wrote in the caption.

Every now and then, we all need to cheer up a bit and forget about our everyday problems.

The following joke will likely make your day, so make sure you don’t miss it.

A gentleman and a lady were dining at a Fancy Restaurant

While attending to a different table, the waitress observed the man gradually sinking down his seat and disappearing beneath the table, while the woman displayed an indifferent demeanor.

Observing the scene, the waitress witnessed the man smoothly gliding down his chair until he vanished beneath the table.

While the woman opposite him maintained a composed and unaffected demeanor, seemingly oblivious to her companion’s disappearance.

Upon completing the order, the waitress approached the table and addressed the woman, saying, “Excuse me, madam, but I believe your husband just slipped beneath the table.”

In response, the woman gazed up at the waitress with composure and replied confidently, “No, he didn’t. He simply entered through the door.”

If you found this funny, check another joke below.

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die. This is so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today.

A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00! A family member placed a call to Citibank: 

* Family Member: “I am calling to tell you that she died in January.”
* Bank: “The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.”
* Family Member: “Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.”
* Bank: “Since it is two months past due, it already has been.”
* Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?”
* Bank: “Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!”
* Family Member: “Do you think God will be mad at her?”
* Bank: “Excuse me?”
* Family Member: “Did you just get what I was telling you – the part about her being dead?”
* Bank: “Sir, you’ll have to speak to my supervisor.”

Supervisor gets on the phone:

* Family Member: “I’m calling to tell you, she died in January.”
* Bank: “The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.”
* Family Member: “You mean you want to collect from her estate?”
* Bank: (Stammer) “Are you her lawyer?”
* Family Member: “No, I’m her great nephew.” (Lawyer info given)
* Bank: “Could you fax us a certificate of death?”
* Family Member: “Sure.” (fax number is given)

After they get the fax:

· Bank: “Our system just isn’t set-up for death. I don’t know what more I can do to help.”
· Family Member: “Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don’t think she will care.”
· Bank: “Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.”
· Family Member: “Would you like her new billing address?”
· Bank: “That might help.”
· Family Member: “Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.”
· Bank: “Sir, that’s a cemetery!”
· Family Member: “What do you do with dead people on your planet?

For the sake of it people, please cancel your credit card before you die. Man this is very funny.

Actor John Beasley of ‘Everwood’ has died aged 79

Actor John Beasley, a late bloomer best known for his roles in the films The Apostle, Rudy and The Sum of All Fears, and the series Everwood has died aged 79.

Beasley passed away before making his Broadway debut in The Notebook.

Until his mid-40s, Beasley worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. He only pursued a career in the film industry later on.

“I knew those things would come, even when I was in college,” he told American Theatre last year. “I dropped out early because I didn’t feel I really needed a college degree to pursue what I wanted to do in life. Bottom line, I worked.

“To be a working artist is the highest calling, and I appreciate wherever it takes me,” he said. “If I never got to Broadway, I would still feel I’ve had a pretty successful career.”

Beasley died in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, and according to his son, before his passing, he had undergone tests on his liver, but things turned for the worse for the actor.

The news of his passing was shared on Facebook by Beasley’s son Mike W Beasley, on Wednesday May 31.

“Man… You know this is a part of life… But that doesn’t make it any easier.”

He continued: “I lost my best friend today. They say you shouldn’t ever meet your heroes because they don’t turn out to be who you thought they were. That is so wrong.

“My hero was my father. Thank you for everything. I hope I made you proud. Love you more.”

The late actor established the John Beasley Theater and Workshop in Omaha and ran it for 13 years. “We changed the lives of a lot of people just through the theater,” he said in 2020.

He made his final acting appearance in 2022’s Firestarter remake.

Beasley is survived by his wife of 58 years, Judy, his two sons, Michael and Tyrone, and his six grandchildren, including Malik Beasley, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Rest in peace, John Beasley.

Elizabeth Taylor’s granddaughter is her late grandma’s reincarnation

By

Besides being one of the most famous actors that have ever walked this Earth, stunning Elizabeth Taylor was also a mother, a grandmother, and a great-gradmother.

Throughout her life, the Cleopatra star was married eight times to seven different people. She and Richard Burton tied the knot twice.

He love life was dubbed scandalous, to say the least, but out of all her marriages, she welcomed four children, Michael Wilding Jr., Chris Wilding, Liza Todd, and Maria Burton, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Most of her grandchildren resemble their famous grandmother. They are certainly happy they inherited part of their grandmother’s beauty, which has been described over the years as everlasting.

Taylor passed away in 2011, six weeks after a congestive heart failure admission at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Let’s take a look at what her grandchildren do nowadays.

Laela Wilding is the daughter of Elizabeth’s first child, Michael Wilding Jr. She resides in Portland, Oregon, and works as a graphic designer and a yoga instructor.

When she thinks of her grandma, Laela always speaks with plenty of love. ”She was that person who saw injustice and started talking about it and never stopped talking about it,” Laela told Today about Taylor in 2021.

Laela also recalled that her grandma loved doing her grandchildren’s hair cuts and was very good at it. “She would look at you with a sidelong glance and say, ‘Oh honey get me the scissors.’ And she would start with a little snip here a little snip there. She was very artistic. She had a great eye.”

Many agree that Laela is a spitting image of the actress.

Laela Wilding’s sister Naomi deLuce Wilding, who was born in 1976, is five years younger. Naomi and her husband, Anthony Gran, launched the Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles in 2014 where Natali currently works.

“She had an idea that she was responsible for raising the younger generations in the family, you know,” Naomi said about her grandmother. “It was important to her that she instilled those values in us, too.”

”I remember sitting on the floor of her dressing room and just watching her get ready — just [watching] this sort of transformation unfold. Just because somebody is a superstar doesn’t also mean that they can’t be a loving, squishy, delicious grandma who was always welcoming us in,” Naomi told Today.

Caleb Wilding is Taylor’s first grandson who got adopted by her son Chris and his wife Aileen Getty following numerous unsuccessful pregnancies. Although he comes from a famous family, Caleb tends to stay out of the spotlight. What is known about him is that he’s a motorbike enthusiast.

Andrew Wilding, Taylor’s second grandson, was born in 1984. Unlike his brother Caleb, Andrew followed into his grandmother’s footsteps and pursued a career in the entertainment industry.

Tarquin Wilding, the half-brother of Laela and Naomi, born in 1989, is also part of the entertainment industry. Tarquin is best known for roles in the films Silent But Deadly (2012), Shameless (2011), and In Between (2009).

He describes himself as an aspiring filmmaker who enjoys motorcycles and dogs. Just like many of Elizabeth Taylor’s grandchildren, Tarquin also participates with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

”My grandmother was a total badass! I can’t help but be inspired by her unbreakable courage, and boundless generosity. I want to continue her legacy, and be a part of the fight towards securing a better future for those living with HIV/ AIDS, and to one day see an AIDS free generation!”

Lowell Wilding is the second child of Christopher Wilding and Margaret Carlton. He’s born in 1991 and is currently working on the Elizabeth Taylor Archive.

“I was always in total awe of the good my grandmother was able to accomplish in her lifetime. She could so easily have done nothing, like so many others. Instead she fought, she cared, and she worked for people suffering with HIV/AIDS. I hope to do whatever I can to preserve and continue that legacy,” he said.

Quinn Tivey is the son of Liza. He attended the University of Southern California to study film, and he also has an MFA from the School of Visual Arts.

”I always knew her as grandma, but in her real life, she was still larger than life,” he said of Taylor in 2019, according to The Morning Show. ”She was an amazing matriarch.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Quinn said, “We would lay in bed together, watching movies, chatting — she would give me advice. Those are some of the ways I remember her most.” Quinn said.

Taylor’s ninth grandchild is Rhys Tivey. He currently performs as a trumpeter, singer, and songwriter. 

”Without concern for color, culture, or class, my grandmother would acknowledge the soul of every person she met and treat them with great respect. And yet she was never afraid to call out BS if she picked up on it. To reach the level of power and success she did and maintain a genuine concern for others’ wellbeing is truly admirable, and her legacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS embodies that humanitarian passion. Every day, I am inspired by the encouragement she gave me and so many other people,” Rhys says.

Elizabeth Carson isn’t Taylor’s actual granddaughter, but the daughter of Elizabeth’s adoptive daughter, Maria Burton.

”For my junior and senior prom, she did my hair and makeup,” Elizabeth told Town & Country. “Once, while we were discussing makeup, I told her we should go to Sephora, which turned out to be a terrible idea. We had fun for the first 15 minutes, but then she was recognized, and we quickly had to be escorted out.”

The youngest of the late actress’ grandchildren is Richard McKeown, Maria Barton’s son. He lives out of the spotlight and not much is known about him.

One thing is certain, all of Elizabeth Taylor’s grandchildren do their best to keep their grandmother’s legacy alive, mostly through her foundations.

Mangy stray cat stuns foster mom when he’s finally able to open his eyes

When a man from southeast Florida spotted a stray cat eating from the bawl of his pet, he approached closer to see who the little “thief” is. As he realized the cat was all covered in mange and was barely blind because of the severity of its condition, he was quick to take a photo and post it on the social media in hopes of reaching someone who could provide the stray animal with some help.

Thankfully, the man’s post was re-shared and reached just to the right person.

Facebook

When Carmen Morales Weinberg, the founder of the local rescue group Animal Friends Project stumbled upon the post, she knew exactly what to do.

Carmen contacted the man, and soon, the cat was in her care.

She took the cat to the vet where she was told that the poor animal not only had severe case of mange, but it was also malnourished and dehydrated.

Facebook

The cat, which was later named Cotton, could sense Carmen was there to help.

In order to give Cotton time to recover, Carmen opened the doors to her home to him.

“Cotton stayed hunched over for days and days and seemed very uncomfortable,” Carmen said, but he managed to adjust to his new life. He even grew his fur back and started resembling a healthy cat.

When he could finally open his eyes fully, he had a big surprise for the woman who gave him a new lease of life. Namely, Cotton had heterochromia iridum, a condition that results in different-colored irises. One of his was blue, and the other one green.

Facebook

This condition can also affect humans and dogs, but when it comes to cats, its mainly found in felines with white fur.

The transformation of Cotton is yet another example of the difference love and affection do.

Bruce Willis’ wife reveals the truth about his dementia with 4 cold words – and it’s as we feared

By
Monica Pop

It’s been a year since Bruce Willis stepped down from acting. The Die Hard star had a hard time remembering the lines and then his health declined rapidly. His family announced that he was retiring due to aphasia, a condition which affects one’s ability to communicate.

Bruce withdrew from from the spotlight, and later on, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.

“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.

“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”

His wife Emma Heming is Bruce’s caretaker, although she gets help from the rest of the family, including the actor’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, who was said to have moved in with Emma and Bruce.

Recently, Emma opened up about her husband’s condition and his life during an appearance on the Today show for World Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week.

Asked if her husband has been aware of his condition, she said, “It’s hard to know.”

“Dementia is hard. It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. That is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is,” Emma added.

“I think it was the blessing and the curse, to finally understand what was happening, so I can be into the acceptances of what it is.

“It doesn’t make it any less painful but just being in the acceptance, and being in the know of what is happening to Bruce, makes it a little bit easier.”

Speaking of the help and the support she gets from Demi and Bruce’s daughters, Emma said, “We’re a very honest and open household.

“The most important thing was to be able to say what the disease was, explain what it is, because when you know when the disease is from a medical standpoint, it all makes sense.

“I don’t want there to be any stigma or shame attached to their dad’s diagnosis, or for any form of dementia.

“There are so many beautiful things happening in our lives. It’s really important for me to look up from the grief, and the sadness, so I can see what is happening around us. Bruce would really want us to be in the joy of what is. He would really want that for me, and our family.

“He’s the gift that keeps on giving. Love, patience, resilience… For me to be out here, doing this, this is not my comfort zone. But this is the power of Bruce.”

We pray for Bruce Willis and his family and hope for the best outcome.

Ray came home one night and fell asleep

After a long and tiring day at the office, a man named Ray couldn’t wait to call the day off. Once home, he took his shoes off and crawled into bed with his wife who was already asleep and dozed off.

Just as he had fallen asleep, he heard St. Peter telling him that he died in his sleep.

“I’m dead?” Ray asked while still in complete shock. “No way in hell am I! Too much is at stake for me to die now; please bring me back!”

St. Peter then told him there was a way he gets back to Earth, but only in a form of a chicken.

Ray agreed, and his only wish was to be placed in a farm next to his neighborhood.

St. Peter did as promised and Ray soon found himself at a nice farm, talking to a rooster. “So, you’re the new hen, huh?” the rooster asked. “How is your first day going thus far?”

“Not bad,” Ray answered, “but I have this funny feeling inside like I’m gonna explode!”

“You’re ovulating; don’t tell me you’ve never laid an egg before?”

Ray was a bit confused, and said he had never done that before.

“Well, just chill out and let it happen,” the rooster advised him, assuring him it wasn’t a big deal.

A few seconds later, an egg sprang to the surface and Ray was both emotional and relieved.

Moments later, he laid another, and then yet another egg.

At that moment, he felt someone tapping him and saying, “Ray, wake up! You took a dump on the bed!”

William & Kate have this 1 strict rule for their children at home

By
Monica Pop

Princess Charlotte is the only daughter of Kate and William. She is third in line of succession, but she would likely not be a working royal but would need to work for a living, as per royal experts. This is due to her grandfather’s wish to slim down the monarchy.

“From what I hear, the Prince and Princess of Wales want Charlotte, aged seven, to grow up with the expectation that she will get a job and not be a full-time royal,” royal expert Richard Eden told the Mirror.

“This path for the young Princess would be in keeping with her grandfather, King Charles III’s, vision for a slimmed-down monarchy.”

Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images

Charlotte is truly a special young lady whose personality shines through more and more. She, as well as her two brothers, attend the prestigious Lambrook School which provides students with plenty of activities such as taking care of animals and doing various sports like cricket, rugby, football, and golf among the rest.

Princess Charlotte is a fan of soccer.

Last year, she accompanied her parents at the Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, they visited a charity, SportsAid House, of which Kate has been a patron since 2013. Its chief executive, Tim Lawler, revealed what Charlotte’s favorite sport is.

“She really, really loved seeing the swimming, but she’s interested in the gymnastics, and while they’re trying lots of different sports at home, I understand, when I asked her about sport, she answered very easily and said, ‘It’s gymnastics that I like,’” he said.

“Charlotte is really into gymnastics, she’s doing cartwheels, handstands, everything,” the Princess of Wales said. “It’s so good for their basic skills of balance and coordination.”

Dad William added, “And their flexibility, it’s really good for their long-term health, isn’t it? We went to watch the Cirque du Soleil recently, it was amazing.”

Speaking of the way they raise their kids, an insider said that Kate and William decided to ban the “naughty step” in their home and use a “chat sofa” instead and they never shout at their children.

“The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William,” the royal source said. “Things are explained and consequences outlined, and they never shout at them.”

The insider further added that “Shouting is absolutely off limits for the children, and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal.”

Kate and William also teach their children a very valuable lesson, that they can also lose when playing sports, and generally in life.

“Learning to lose, which I think we’ve got to concentrate more on nowadays,” William said. “I think people don’t know how to lose well. Talking about our children particularly, I want to make sure they understand that.” 

He added that his children – and others – can “grow” from not winning.

“I think it’s really important from a young age to understand how to lose, and why we lose, and to grow from it and what you learn from that process,” the Prince of Wales said. “But also, to win well and not boast. There’s so many life lessons that help us all through life, in friendship building, in relationship building, workplace, that you gain from those early years of playing team sport.”

Daniel Leal – WPA Pool/Getty Images

When it comes to food and their eating habits, the ready-made packaged food is a big no-no for the royal family. Instead, everything the children eat is fresh. What is interesting is that they are expected to eat whatever they are served, and saying “I don’t like it” is simply not acceptable.

“There is no tantrums or food throwing, and the children eat what is set before them. They queue up with the rest of the kids and parents in the Harness Room restaurant and ask for no special favors,” an insider told The Sun of the royal’s family visit of the exclusive Hurlingham Club in London. 

The days of George, Charlotte, and Louis are filled with various activities, mostly outdoor ones, and when it comes to using tablets and phones, “They’re very much seen as mummy and daddy’s toys, not for children,” a source told Us Weekly.

“As two people who grew up without gadgets for entertainment themselves, William and Kate are firm believers in toys, outdoor play and encouraging an active imagination.”

Both Kate and William do all in their power to provide their children with a normal childhood, as much as that is possible.

The truth is finally out about the William and Kate affair rumors, and it confirms what we suspected

By
Monica Pop

The lives of the members of the British royal family have always been intriguing for the public.

The moment the country learned William started dating Kate while the two were both students at St. Andrews in Scotland, the media published all sorts of “love is in the air” articles which additionally added to the interest in the couple’s private life.

During the time they dated, William’s friends often mocked Kate because she was a commoner.

Before starting their multi-million dollar worth company Party Pieces, Kate’s parents worked ordinary jobs. Her mother was an air hostess for the British Airways and it seemed like a good ground for jokes at the future Princess’ expense.

Speaking on Vanity Fair’s DYNASTY podcast last year, royal expert Katie Nicholl – author of The New Royals – described how William’s “snooty” friends whispered “doors to manual” when Kate arrived at one of West London’s nightclubs.

The prince’s aristocratic friends who were referred to as the “Glosse Posse,” a reference to their Gloucestershire roots, didn’t feel like Kate was on their level. However, she never rose to the “derogatory” comments made towards her, but decided to ignore them.

“It was never water off a duck’s back, but she has extraordinary strength of character and resilience. I’ve never once seen or heard of her losing her temper,” a royal aide told the Sunday Times Magazine.

William and Kate both graduated in the same year, 2005; William with a master of arts degree in geography, and Kate with a master of arts degree in art history. But while their relationship appeared only to flourish, trouble lay on the horizon.

However, in 2007, the couple split, and that split was a high-profile one as everyone suddenly started talking about it. The news filled the newspapers and made headlines while many speculated of the reasons behind the break-up.

They eventually reconciled and tied the knot on April 29, 2011.

In April 2019, the American publication In Touch reported that William “may” have had an affair with a woman named Rose Hanbury, who happens to be the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and a friend of Kate’s.

Allegedly, Kate confronted William about the rumors but he “laughed it off” and claimed that wasn’t true.

Daily Mail royal expert Richard Kay spoke on the matter and said it was fake news. “Both sides have considered legal action, but because none of the reports have been able to offer any evidence about what the so-called dispute is about, they have chosen to ignore it… These hurtful rumors of a fallout are simply false,” Kay wrote.

Nick Harvey/WireImage

Rose and her husband live near Kate and William in a home with 106 rooms.

Rose’s maternal grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambert, was one of late Queen Elizabeth’s bridesmaids when she married Prince Philip, so this woman’s connection with the royals dates way back.

She and Kate are said to be friends who are both patrons of the East Anglia Children’s Hospice. What’s most, it has been reported that in the past William, Kate, Rose, and Rose’s husband David, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, double-dated.

Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images

Today, Rose works as a political researcher for the Conservative MP Michael Gove, but in the past she used to be a model. She and her husband started dating in 2003 and tied the knot six years later, welcoming three children together, twin brothers Alexander, the Earl of Rocksavage, and Lord Oliver Cholmondeley and daughter, Lady Iris.

Lord Oliver was one of King Charles’ Pages on Honor during his coronation in May of this year.

Currently, Rose’s husband is appointed Lord-in-Waiting to King Charles.

When the rumor about the alleged affair between William and Rose spread, it was reported that they were all left baffled.

“These hurtful rumours of a fallout are simply false. William and David were in touch with each other over the weekend, not knowing whether to laugh or complain,” an insider said.

“Both wives are hurt by the suggestion that there is any argument or even a coolness between them. They have plans for future events involving their charity.”

As per The Mirror, another friend said at the time: “It has now become very upsetting, and they are all concerned for each other, as they have never before had to start denying something for which there is no evidence or even a smidgen of truth. It is just mad.”

Samir Hussein/WireImage

That the rumors might be far from true speaks the fact that Kate and Rose attended a music festival together, held at the 1000-acre Houghton Hall estate, owned by David and Rose.

“Catherine was nervous about the idea, but after much discussion with her protection officers, she went with lots of security. William wasn’t there,” a source shared with the Daily Mail.

The media reported that the Princess of Wales was “in high spirits, ordering spicy margaritas, eating affogato and speaking affably with the other members of her party.

“Her companions apparently carted in a huge, balthazar-sized bottle of AIX rosé and, together with Kate, left the festival restaurant staff a £700 tip.”

Put a clove of garlic in the toilet before going to bed, here’s what happens to your toilet in the morning

By

The health benefits of garlic have been proven throughout the centuries. Even the modern medicine recognizes its power when it comes to treating the cold and other health issues. However, besides being used as a natural remedy and as a common cooking ingredient, garlic can also be used for cleaning. If you wonder how, we have the answer.

Because it contains allicin, a compound responsible for its potent aroma, which also acts as a deterrent to fungi, bacteria, and mold, garlic can be used for cleaning the toilet.

Of course, the method of using this powerful plant shouldn’t completely replace the routine toilet cleaning, but it does come in handy when you don’t have much time for scrubbing.

In order to maximize the cleanness and freshness of your toilet simply peel a clove of garlic and drop it in the toilet. You can use it as a whole or smashed.

Allow it to work overnight, unleashing its antibacterial power and give your toilet a scrub and flush it the following morning.

If you are in for some more toilet cleaning hacks, continue reading.

  1. Toilet Bowl Whitening with White Vinegar – I guess it’s common knowledge that white vinegar is good for cleaning, disinfecting, and even whitening the toilet base. This how to use it:
    • Pour a tablespoon of white vinegar into your toilet.
    • Let it soak for an hour.
    • Use a toilet brush to scrub away grime and hard-to-reach areas.
    • Rinse with clean water and dry the toilet with a cloth or paper towel.
    • Your toilet will be gleaming, and dirt will be a thing of the past. Simple and effective, isn’t it?
  2. Remove Brown Stains from the Toilet Bowl Using Dishwasher Tabs – If you think that dishwasher tabs are only perfect for cleaning glass and cutlery, you are wrong. This is how to use them for cleaning your toilet.
    • Flush the dishwasher tab down the toilet.
    • Let it work its magic, preferably overnight.
    • This efficient method will help remove stubborn stains effectively.
  3. Using Baking Soda for Cleaning the Toilet, and this is how:
    • Sprinkle one to two tablespoons of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
    • Wait a few minutes.
    • Scrub with a long-handled brush.
    • Flush, and you’ll be left with a sparkling clean toilet. This ingenious hack has gained a growing fanbase online.

If you want to get rid of the odor in your toilet use a mixture of baking soda and lemon as a natural air freshener.

To prepare the paste-like consistency, mix the same amount of soda and lemon in a bowl. Then, apply the paste to the toilet bowl and any hard-to-reach areas using a sponge. Scrub with a brush and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then wipe the toilet. If there are any stubborn stains, you can spray some vinegar while the paste is still on.

To enhance the air freshness in your toilet, you can always use essential oils. Simply drop a few drops of your favorite scent in the toilet bowl.

A couple at the church

If you are up to some good laughter, you are at the right place as the following story will surely make your day.

A husband and wife are at a church, listening to a lengthy ceremony. The wife can’t help herself but fall asleep. Her husband notices this and tries to wake her up by poking her with his finger.

As he touches her, the sermon asks a question about the gathering that had led the Israelites to freedom from slavery in Egypt. Startled awake, the woman shouts, “The Almighty!” before falling asleep yet again.

As the ceremony goes on, the husband pokes her once again just as the sermon asks about the one who had sacrificed for the forgiveness of their sins. The woman, all sleepy says, “Jesus Christ!”

When the sermon asked another question, her husband tried to wake her up for the third time now. However, the timing didn’t seem to be right as the question was “What words did Eve speak to Adam after the birth of their last child?” At this point, the wife was angry at her husband for constantly poking her with his finger so she exclaimed: “I swear, if you touch me with that again, I’ll snap it in half.”

Rebecca Boening, a woman from Texas, experienced health issues when her sugar levels dropped as she was placing an order at a Burger King drive-thru.

When the employee realized Rebecca was in need of help, she made sure she provided it to her despite being on the job during a busy day.

This is what Rebecca posted of the encounter which caught the attention of many.

“Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level.

Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food.

Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car.

She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream.

Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food.

She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better.”

“After my meal, I waited for a lull in activity so that I could go back to Tina’s window. After taking this photo, I spoke with Tina’s boss and thanked him for everything.”

We are grateful there are still people there like Tina who would do all in their power to help a person in need.

Kobe Bryant, Vanessa Bryant, Gianna Maria Onore Bryant and Natalia Diamante Bryant at the LA premiere of 'A Wrinkle In Time' held at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, USA on February 26, 2018.

Natalia Bryant walked down Versace’s iconic black-and-white checkered runway at the Versace Spring 2024 show during Milan Fashion Week on Friday.

The late Kobe Bryant’s daughter had her debut and her mother couldn’t be prouder of her.

“I’m so proud of you! You did it mama!!!! I love you so much and I’m so happy for you,” Vanessa Bryant captioned an Instagram photo of her daughter.

Shutterstock

Natalia herself was super excited for taking part in a runway show of such a famous brand.

“I am beyond excited about making my runway debut,” she said. “It’s such an incredible opportunity, and I’m so grateful to Donatella (Versace) and am honored that she has invited me to be a part of something so special.”

She then credited her mom for her interest in fashion and honest opinion. “She keeps it real, and I know she always has my best interest at heart.” The 20-year-old added that her mother encouraged her to find her own style.

Natalia, who is student at the University of Southern California, was signed by IMG Models in 2021.

Speaking of her passion to finally pursue a career in the fashion industry, she said, “I wanted to start fresh and do my own thing without having to worry about comparing myself to anyone or setting myself to anyone’s standard.”

Natalia told Vogue that Donatella Versace herself invited her to be part of the show. “She was just so welcoming and sweet and made me feel so comfortable, especially with it being my first runway,” she said. “Meeting her definitely helped settle any nerves.”

When preparing for her debut, besides seeking advice from her mom, Natalia also drew inspiration from supermodels she admires, such as Naomi Campbell.

“I’ve always loved watching videos of Naomi walking down the runway along with videos of other iconic supermodels I look up to,” she said. “My mom says, ‘Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself, put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.’”

Shutterstock

The show included supermodels such as Claudia Schiffer and Gigi Hadid.

Natalia is the eldest daughter of Vanessa and the late NBA superstar Kobe Bryant who died in a tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas in 2020 along with seven others. The couple also share daughters Gianna, Bianka and Capri. Gianna was with her father on the day of the crash and lost her life.

On March 15 this year, Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri were at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California, where the statue in Kobe Bryant’s honor was to be unveiled.

The handprints of the superstar legend that he had made in February 2011 were permanently displayed in the theatre’s public forecourt along with his ’24’ jersey. His younger daughters Bianka and Capri placed their hands on top of their fathers as well.

Shutterstock

Natalia used the occasion to pay tribute to her late dad. “I’m honoured to be here today to recognise the man we all knew and love, my dad Kobe Bryant,” she said. “While most people knew him as a basketball player or a storyteller, I got to know and love him as my dad,” adding, “And let me tell you, he is the MVP of girl dads, to say the least.”

Here’s why you need to put a bay leaf in the mop bucket

By
Monica Pop
-

In today’s world, when we are surrounded with easily accessible chemicals that affect our health, it’s sometimes a good idea to turn to the nature instead, and seek solutions to our problems there.

In the past, when there weren’t that many cleaning products out there, our great-grandparents used all natural ingredients in order to keep their homes clean.

One of the things they used is the bay leaf.

Besides its pleasant aroma, this plant is a game-changer when it comes to scrubbing and cleaning.

Using it for that purpose, it will act as a natural air freshener without all those synthetic fragrances found in commercial products.

At the same time, bay leaves possess both antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

If you decide to add some bay leaves into the water you use to mop your floors, you won’t be only cleaning, but you will be disinfecting as well. What’s most, the scent of bay leaves repels mosquitoes, flies, and other insects.

Asian hornets, known as Vespa velutina nigrithorax, which are native to Southeast Asia have been found in an abandoned home in St Brelades, a town located on the Channel Island in the United Kingdom.

This species is considered invasive because of its ability to displace local hornet populations and wreak havoc on ecosystems by attacking the honeybees population. They can also be very aggressive towards humans.

The first time Asian hornets found their way into Europe was through a nest hidden abroad a ship. They were first spotted in the south of France from where they spread throughout the continent, including United Kingdom.

The Channel Islands, including St Brelades, are particularly susceptible to the presence of these hornets due to their proximity to mainland Europe.

The nest found in St Brelades marks 171 nests of Asian hornets found this year in the United Kingdom compared to the 71 found at this time last year.

Authorities have concerns that their ability to keep this species out of the country is slipping away.

They are issuing warnings for the citizens to be extra cautious in case they stumble upon a nest of Asian hornets.

Since the spread of these hornets is fast, people should learn how to effectively handle such situations.

The most common places they can be found are:

  • Houses and buildings
  • Nests in trees and shrubs
  • In orchards
  • Anywhere that they can find a warm place to hide during the winter months.

In case you stumble upon an Asian hornet nest, there are some thing to have in mind since they can get extremely aggressive in case their habitat is disturbed.

  1. Observe and Report: Do not try to remove it all by yourself since that requires appropriate expertise. Don’t even disturb them, as they can easily attack you. Instead, inform the local authorities and provide them with the exact location. If you live in the United Kingdon, you should contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency. They possess the right equipment and resources for dealing with Asian hornets.
  2. Maintain Distance: Don’t get near the nest because that can trigger an attack. In case you get attacked, have in mind that these insects’ sting is extremely painful.
  3. Educate Yourself: Get to know more about this insects as that can help in case you come across with them.
  4. Protect Your Property: If you are aware of the existence of a nest near your residence, make sure you do all in your power to prevent them from getting indoors. Fix any small cracks and don’t keep the windows and doors open.
  5. Seek Professional Assistance: Always contact professional pest control service in case you see an Asian hornet nest. They are the ones who would take care of the problem most effectively.

If we take precautions and seek professional assistance to deal with the Asian hornets, we help protect the ecosystem and those living around us.

Actress Hayden Panettiere is still mourning the loss of her brother Jansen who died in February aged 28.

On what would have been his 29th birthday, the Nashville alum paid tribute to him in a touching Instagram post.

“Happy Birthday little brother,” she captioned a throwback photo of the two on Christmas day as children. “I miss you everyday. I’ll love you forever ❤️”

Jansen, just like his older sister, was also part of the film industry. Among the rest, he appeared on Even Stevens, The Walking Dead and Racing Stripes.

The news of his passing shocked many. His friends discovered his lifeless body after he failed to show up for a meeting.

Reports are that Jansen’s buddies “raced to his home” after he missed the meeting he had booked. Upon arriving to his residence, one of his friends discovered Jansen “sitting in a chair, unresponsive,” so he dialed 911 and began CPR.

“Though it offers little solace, the Medical Examiner reported Jansen’s sudden passing was due to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), coupled with aortic valve complications,” the family said in a statement.

“Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his brilliant, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of life in his dry wit,” the statement continued. “His charisma, warmth, compassion for others, and his creative spirit will live forever in our hearts and in the hearts of all whom he encountered.”

At the time of his passing, a source told ET, “Hayden is absolutely heartbroken. She loved her brother unconditionally and the two shared a special bond.”

She and her brother were very close and shared a special bond.

She often shared photos of the two having fun together. Days before his loss, Hayden shared a black-and-white photo of herself giving him a haircut. They were both laughing.

Even before experiencing this tragic loss, Hayden had been struggling with addictions she gradually opened about.

In 2018, she gave the custody over her daughter to her ex-husband.

“The best thing for my kid was to make sure she was okay, take care of myself, and make sure I could be a good mom to her. And that sometimes means letting go,” she said at the time.
