Losing both her husband of 29 years, Frank Gifford, and her mother, Joan Epstein, within a short span of time, Kathie Lee retreated from the public eye, searching for solace. However, she is now ready to share her journey and reveal the source of her resilience during these challenging times.
In a touching interview, Kathie Lee Gifford reflected on her deepest emotions surrounding the loss of her loved ones, the crippling loneliness she felt, and the role her faith played in keeping her spirits high. It comes as no surprise that throughout this difficult period, it was her unwavering belief in God that provided her with the strength to move forward.
Recounting the painful day in August 2015 when she discovered her husband’s lifeless body, Kathie Lee Gifford bravely shared her thoughts. Instead of succumbing to grief, she found comfort in the knowledge that Frank Gifford had found eternal peace in the arms of Jesus. She revealed, “On a beautiful Sunday morning, I found my husband passed on to Heaven… He saw Jesus and Jesus took his breath away.” This realization helped her navigate through the darkest days.
Initially seeking solace in her mother after the loss of her husband, Kathie Lee Gifford’s world was again shattered when her mother passed away just two years later. With her children living far away, she confessed that the feeling of loneliness became more overwhelming than ever before. “My biggest struggle at this point in my life is loneliness,” she shared. “I’ve lost my parents, my husband is gone, and my children live far away from me. I still live in the same big house where we made a gazillion million memories. And there are times when I am overwhelmed by loneliness.”
But Kathie Lee Gifford’s story takes a turn towards hope as she reveals that she was never truly alone. She found solace in the fact that God was by her side, a constant companion in her journey of healing. With the love and support of her faith, she was able to navigate through the pain of losing her loved ones, finding solace in knowing that they are in a better place.
We admire Kathie Lee Gifford for opening up about her deep faith in this heartfelt interview. Let us join together and send prayers her way, applauding her strength and resilience.
Brenda Lee’s name may not be as widely recognized as some of the other music stars from the 1960s, but when Christmas rolls around, her iconic song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” becomes an instant reminder of her influence.
At the age of 78, Lee reflects on a career that started when she was too young to drive but propelled her to “unprecedented international popularity” as the most successful female artist of the 1960s, thanks to her powerful vocals.
Despite her diminutive stature at only 4 feet 9 inches, Brenda Lee became a fan favorite at the tender age of 12. Born Brenda May Tarpley in 1944, she made her mark in the late 1940s and rose to fame in the 1950s. Her remarkable career, which began before she left elementary school, saw her top the charts 55 times, earning her the title of the most successful female recording artist of the 1960s.
Tragedy struck when Lee was just eight years old, as her father, a construction worker, lost his life at work. Little Brenda, who then adopted the last name Lee, became the family’s primary provider, taking care of her younger brother, big sister, and mother, who worked in a cotton mill. Far from being a duty, this role was something she embraced. Lee expressed her joy at making her first $20, stating, “Even at that young age, I saw that helped our life. It put some food on the table. It helped, and I loved it.”
Hailing from Atlanta and recognized as a “pioneer of early rock and roll” by the Georgia Encyclopedia, Lee achieved “unprecedented international popularity in the 1960s.” Despite her legendary status, she remains incredibly humble, crediting those who played a role in her success. When asked about being a legend, Lee remarked, “I’m just a girl who’s been really blessed to be doing what I’m doing, and there’s a lot of people who’ve sweated a lot of tears and put a lot of life’s work into me to be able to have my dream. So, if I’m a legend, then they’re legends, too.”
In 1956, Lee joined country star Red Foley for a show, where she performed “Jambalaya” by Hank Williams. This led to her appearance on Foley’s Ozark Jubilee, a country music show, where her talent captivated millions of viewers. Signing with Decca Records in the same year, she moved to Nashville in 1957. Fusing country with rhythm and blues, characterized by her distinctive hiccupping vocals, Lee recorded early rockabilly classics like “BIGELOW 6-200,” “Little Jonah,” and “Let’s Jump the Broomstick.”
Reflecting on her early performances, Lee emphasized her comfort on stage, stating, “The stage always felt like hometown to me because I had been in front of people ever since I was 3 years old, singing to people. So it was a very comfortable spot for me.”
In 1957, Brenda Lee earned the nickname “Little Miss Dynamite” for her powerful recording of “Dynamite.” The following year, at the age of 13, she released the genre-defying holiday standard “Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree,” which would transcend genres and generations.
Reflecting on the impact of “Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree,” Lee told Rolling Stone, “I knew it was magical.” In the ensuing years, she continued to make her mark with hits like “Sweet Nuthin’s,” “All Alone Am I,” and “Fool #1.”
Despite the success of her songs, they often contradicted her personal experience as a young girl. While her mother prohibited her from dating, Lee found herself singing about the complexities of love. At the age of 16, she expressed the sentiment “love could be so cruel” in the song “I’m Sorry.” Another hit, “I Want to be Wanted,” featured lyrics like “I want his lips to really kiss me” when she was still in school.
At the age of 18, Lee met Ronnie Shacklett, and the two have been happily married for 60 years. However, life on the road as a young artist had its challenges. Celebrating her 12th birthday in Las Vegas, Lee described feelings of loneliness. Restricted from walking through a casino due to her age, she explained, “I really didn’t even know what a casino looked like. Children weren’t allowed in the casino area.” Despite the limitations, Lee found solace on stage, stating, “The most fun I had was on the stage.”
Acknowledging the sacrifices of her youth, Lee shared, “Many times, I yearned to be with my friends rather than be out there on the road.” Despite the challenges, Brenda Lee’s undeniable talent and resilience have left an enduring mark on the music industry.
Brenda Lee’s remarkable journey in the music industry led her to forge friendships with iconic figures. During a 1962 show in Germany, she connected with John Lennon of The Beatles. Describing Lennon as “extremely intelligent” and “gentle,” Lee was surprised to learn later that The Beatles were fans of her music.
Her circle of friends also included Elton John, who was stunned upon hearing her perform. Additionally, she danced with Elvis Presley and had a friendship with Little Richard since the 1960s. Both Lee and Little Richard received Distinguished Artist awards at the Governor’s Arts Awards in 2019, marking Richard’s last public appearance before his passing in 2020.
Reflecting on her friendship with Little Richard, Lee expressed her admiration for his music, stating, “I didn’t understand the words, or what they meant, I just knew that I loved how that music made me feel.” She believes that Little Richard, a man of God, is now in heaven.
Lee attributes much of her personal and professional success to her husband, whom she married in 1962. She emphasizes the importance of qualities like integrity and honesty in a relationship, expressing gratitude for finding such a partner.
A woman of faith, Lee is involved in Sunday Mornin’ Country, a faith-based event with CMA Fest, celebrating over 40 years. Despite her retirement from performing, she remains a role model, influencing younger stars like Taylor Swift, who wrote a personal essay about Brenda Lee in “Women Walk the Line, How The Women In Country Music Changed Our Lives.”
Lee’s enduring legacy is particularly evident during Christmastime, where her iconic song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” continues to be a beloved holiday staple. In 2019, the song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, 59 years after its recording, leaving Brenda Lee grateful for the enduring gift of her music.
In a recent incendiary statement, actor James Woods expressed his strong disdain for comedian and television host Whoopi Goldberg, declaring her as “one of the worst characters on TV.” This remark has ignited debates across social media, where supporters and detractors have clashed over their views on Goldberg’s career and contributions to entertainment.
Woods, known for his outspoken and often controversial opinions, took issue with Goldberg’s remarks and positions on various social and political topics, leading him to convey his frustration publicly.
Goldberg, who has made a name for herself on “The View” and in various film roles, has long been a polarizing figure, often using her platform to discuss pressing issues such as race relations, women’s rights, and political matters. Woods’ comments reflect not just a personal grievance but also a broader cultural divide regarding media personalities who engage in political discourse.
James Woods: ‘Oppenheimer’ role kept quiet due to support for Trump
The fallout from Woods’ statement has opened up a wider discussion about celebrity accountability and the responsibilities public figures hold when voicing their opinions.
Supporters of Woods might argue that he is simply exercising his right to critique someone he believes contributes negatively to the media landscape, while Goldberg’s fans could counter that her candid discussions foster vital conversations that the public needs to engage with.
This clash of perspectives highlights the current state of American media, where discussions on identity, politics, and ethical representation can quickly escalate into contentious debates.
Whoopi Goldberg’s addiction ‘was a matter of life and death’
As reactions to Woods’ statements continue to pour in, it remains to be seen how this will affect both individuals’ public images and if it will lead to further confrontations in the realm of celebrity culture, where every opinion carries weight and can ripple across social discourse.
Amid the noise, both Woods and Goldberg remain emblematic of the complexities of modern celebrity, where personal beliefs can either rally supporters or provoke fierce backlash from the other side of a divided audience.
Princess Meghan expressed sympathy for many young girls today about the issue of online bullying.
Meghan Markle recently visited the non-profit organization Girls. Inc to share about the bullying problem that is strongly affecting the young generation, especially girls. HalfTheStory founder – Larissa May – said this was a meaningful visit for teenage girls who are still confused and bewildered by a series of negative things on social media.
Speaking about the visit, Larissa said: “We did an activity where we discussed a series of possible scenarios. Meghan also talked about how she was one of the most bullied people in the world.”
Following the meeting, Meghan partnered with Oprah Winfrey’s foundation and charity to create a new program called Social Media U, which focuses on combating cyberbullying. The Duchess of Sussex said the educational initiative aims to “equip girls with the essential tools to thrive in the digital age, fostering healthier and more balanced relationships with technology.”
This is not the first time Prince Harry’s wife has spoken out about her experience of being bullied on social media. In August, she confided: “I never want anyone else to feel that way and I don’t want anyone else to plan that. I don’t want anyone else to feel like they can’t be trusted.”
Maye Musk once invested $1,000 in stocks following Elon Musk’s advice.
Maye Musk – Elon Musk’s mother said she received investment advice from her son when the Tesla CEO was only 14 years old.
The 74-year-old model shared that more than 35 years ago, Elon Musk recommended that she buy stock in a company he “really believed in,” despite the stockbroker saying the investment was a ” bad idea”.
The above story was shared by Maye Musk on Twitter on May 1 after the world’s richest billionaire gave some advice on choosing stocks. The 50-year-old billionaire urged his Twitter followers to buy stocks of companies that produce products they “trust” and not to “panic” by the market reaction.
Giving an example of Elon Musk’s investment philosophy, Mrs. Maye said that in the 1980s, she invested about $1,000 in stocks that her son recommended. It was the largest amount of money she had ever ventured into this field.
Elon Musk’s faith in the company quickly paid off and the value of Maye’s investment tripled. When the stock price increased, Maye “panicked” and decided to sell all his shares.
“I wasn’t happy about it. This code then continued to increase. I also think it’s unfair for you to divide your profits between me, @kimbal and @ToscaMusk,” Maye said on Twitter.
Maye Musk did not specify how quickly the stock price increased or which company Elon Musk proposed to invest in. Her representative also declined to comment further on this matter.

Elon Musk’s investment advice comes just days after he sold 9.6 million Tesla shares, worth $8.5 billion. This move is said to be to pay for the $44 billion deal with Twitter.
This is also not the first time the world’s richest man has given investment advice. Earlier this year, Elon Musk said owning material things like a house or stock in companies is “generally better than holding cash” when inflation is high.
Previously, in an interview with Insider , Maye Musk emphasized that she helped her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren develop by encouraging them to pursue their personal interests. During his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood, CEO Tesla showed a passion for books and computer programming. In April, Elon Musk shared at the TED conference that his success is largely due to his desire to answer important questions surrounding the meaning of life.
The model and mother of three wrote about her family and her first experience with the stock market in the book “A Woman Makes a Plan”.

Taylor will continue The Eras Tour in Cardiff on Tuesday before performing in London from June 21 to June 23.
It comes after English actor Joe, 33, finally opened up about their break up, 14 months after it was revealed.
He told The Sunday Times Style. ‘As everyone knows, we together — both of us, mutually — decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private.
‘It was never something to commodify and I see no reason to change that now.’
Joe continued: ‘And, look, this is also a little over a year ago now and I feel fortunate to be in a really great place in my life, professionally and personally. I feel really good.’
When asked if he listened to Taylor’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, Joe said: ‘In thinking on what I was going to say, I would think and hope that anyone and everyone can empathize.
‘This isn’t a direct answer to your question, but just thinking about what I want to talk about.’

Joe finished: ‘I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship of over six and a half years.’
Taylor is still yet to speak publicly about the break-up, but has since moved on with NFL star Travis Kelce.
Her only comments have come through song, with several tracks on The Tortured Poets Department understood to be about Joe.
In one particular track, LOML, Taylor heartbreakingly sings: ‘I wish we could recall how we almost had it all…’
On Friday, Taylor’s Surprise Song was This Is What You Came For, performed by Rihanna but co-written by her and her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris.
Taylor prefaced the song: ‘Every single time I have an acoustic set, I’m always trying to think of things you might want to hear — maybe things that might be a little bit unexpected.
‘Let’s see how we did tonight.’
She performed the track as a mashup with her song ‘Gold Rush’ from her 2020 album Evermore.

Throughout the weekend, the country music legend went to the internet to reveal an archival image. She is wearing a bubblegum pink crocheted dress that is elaborately beaded and has sleeves that are cloaked in lovely lace in the shot. Rose lipstick and makeup to match the set enhance her distinctive appearance.
A delicately placed lace bow on her luxuriously coiled blonde hair completes the look. Along with the photo, the 76-year-old icon revealed, “I am aware of my intelligence and equally aware that my hair color is not a natural blonde!”
The confession shocked her admirers, forcing several to admit they were unaware. “Not Blonde, Really?” exclaimed one skeptic, while another added, “Hold on! Please don’t disrupt our long-held illusions!”
“The latter part caught me by surprise,” remarked a third witness, causing another admirer to note down, “I was utterly clueless as well.” My gaze has only been drawn to those gleaming golden locks.
A rose, however, remains a rose, regardless of its hair color! Dolly, I beg you! Under no circumstances should you consider going back to your natural skin tone! The repercussions would be seismic!”
The caption accompanying her image may ring a bell for Dolly fans, as the singer once famously quipped during an interview, “I remain unaffected by the barrage of dim-witted blonde jokes, for I am conscious of my sagacity… and similarly conscious that I am not a natural blonde.”
Dolly’s previous practice was to dye her hair blonde, which she later replaced with wigs in the 1970s. “When wigs of commendable quality, capable of impeccable styling, appeared, I felt liberated because I realized I could adorn any coiffure at any time.” I have a wig that is perfect for any possible situation.
“These wigs have served me admirably over the years, and I hope to unveil my collection of wigs and hairpieces one day.”
In a humorous spin on her style, she once stated, “I drew inspiration for my appearance from a blend of Cinderella, Mother Goose — and a local courtesan.” Dolly Parton reveals how her goddaughter Miley Cyrus was instrumental in her ‘daring’ metamorphosis.

Shania Twain, the renowned Canadian singer-songwriter and the best-selling female country musician, has a remarkable story of triumph over adversity. Born into a modest family, she faced numerous challenges as a child, including going to bed hungry. However, today, she considers herself fortunate and is using her success to make a positive impact.
Twain’s journey to stardom began at a young age. To help her family make ends meet, she started singing in bars at the tender age of eight. Despite her difficult upbringing, Twain showed immense resilience and determination.
As a child, Twain experienced domestic violence between her mother and stepfather. She described her stepfather as having a Jekyll and Hyde personality, making her childhood all the more challenging. Money was also a constant struggle for her family, often leaving them without enough for necessities like rent and food.
Twain recalls the hunger pains she endured while going to school and the humiliation she felt for not having enough to eat. She was too proud to ask for help, despite her desperate situation. This early hardship shaped her character and taught her the value of strength.
Despite the obstacles she faced, Twain never allowed her difficult past to define her. She believes that she is not defined by the pain and hardships she endured but by her determination to rise above them. Twain’s resilience and refusal to be ashamed of her background have made her the strong woman she is today.

Canadian pop icon Celine Dion has made the heartbreaking decision to cancel all her concerts for 2023–2024. The 55-year-old singer recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome, a severe neurological condition affecting her ability to sing.
In a touching video message to her fans, Dion sincerely apologized, saying, “I’m sorry to disappoint you all… and even though it hurts, we should postpone things until I’m truly ready to return to the stage.” Despite her health challenges, she assured her fans she was not giving up and expressed her excitement to see them again soon.
This unfortunate cancellation affects her Courage World Tour, scheduled to start in Amsterdam in August and conclude with two shows at London’s O2 stadium in April of the following year. Dion had already performed 52 concerts before the tour was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to her health issues, she had to make the difficult decision to cancel the North American leg at the time.
Stiff-Person Syndrome causes muscle spasms, making it difficult for Dion to use her vocal cords as she’s used to. This condition leads to torso, arm, and leg stiffness, and even minor disturbances can trigger spasms. Dion profoundly regrets being unable to embark on her European tour in February as originally planned.
Despite their disappointment, fans have flooded social media platforms with support, understanding, and well-wishes for Dion. One fan information account tweeted, “Not surprising, but no less sad.
We have the courage for you, Celine. We are with you.” Another fan, posting under the handle @notaerz, wrote, “You don’t have to apologize, queen! Take care of yourself. Your health should be the number one priority.”
Celine Dion’s musical talent and powerful voice have made her one of the greatest female vocalists of our time. Her incredible range and emotional performances have touched the hearts of millions worldwide. Songs like “Because You Loved Me,” “My Heart Will Go On,” and “Think Twice” have become iconic hits that resonate with listeners of all ages.
Born in Quebec, Canada, Dion is the youngest of 14 children. Her journey to fame began at 12 when her mother submitted a recording of her singing to René Angélil, who recognized her talent and used his own home as collateral to finance her debut album. Initially singing in French, Dion expanded her repertoire to include English singles after taking English classes in the 1980s.
Dion’s fame skyrocketed in 1997 with “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme song for James Cameron’s blockbuster Titanic. The song became a global sensation, propelling her into the spotlight. She went on to have an incredible career at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, where she mesmerized audiences for 16 years with only a few breaks.
While Dion’s health issues have forced her to make this difficult decision, her fans continue to shower her with love and support as she prioritizes her well-being.
The pop icon remains determined to overcome her challenges and make a triumphant comeback when she is ready. Until then, her fans eagerly await her return, sending her their best wishes and reminding her that her health should always come first.
