Since Eva Mendes departed from the limelight, she has been notably absent from the red carpet. She often leaves her partner, Ryan Gosling, to walk it alone. This was particularly evident on March 10, during the 2024 Oscars.

While Gosling attended the event, Mendes stayed backstage. A post she shared on Instagram captured Mendes outside Gosling’s dressing room. It was accompanied by a caption, “Always by my man.”

This unusual dynamic has sparked speculation and concern among internet users. Some suggest that Gosling’s A-list status and younger age have led to his career taking precedence over Mendes’. They question why Mendes doesn’t accompany Gosling on the red carpet if she wants to show their relationship publicly.

Others express concern about Mendes’ financial security. This is because she is a stay-at-home mom, especially since she and Gosling are unmarried. They believe it could leave her without alimony in the event of a separation.

Mendes is sometimes absent from awards and events even before the Oscars. This has led to speculation that she and Gosling might be living separately. Some comments suggest that the dynamics of their relationship, as portrayed in the media, give off controlling vibes.

Some users have expressed doubts about the longevity of the couple’s relationship. Others have suggested that Gosling seems less invested in the relationship than Mendes. Other people ask if it’s okay for Mendes not to go on the red carpet. They’re worried, especially when Gosling is up for an award.

One user commented, “Maybe behind closed doors things are super smooth sailing but have a feeling now that the kids are getting older she’s not feeling quite so secure with things. She went from being very private to suddenly giving interviews and defining their roles. Time will tell. [sic]”

Amid the speculations, Mendes has provided insight into her decision to step away from Hollywood. She described a mutual understanding between her and Gosling. They both would continue to work but in different capacities.

Mendes focused on her family, transitioning from acting to being a full-time parent. This decision, she explained, was a “no-brainer.” It allowed her to spend more time with her children while maintaining a career away from the camera. Mendes also expressed her admiration for Gosling’s work ethic.

She fondly recalls their shared experience on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines,” where they first met. The actress is in awe of Gosling’s commitment to his craft. She said, “I have never experienced anything like that. The way he works, his commitment to his craft… But unfortunately — or fortunately — there is only one Ryan.”

While Gosling continues to make movies, Mendes has taken a step back from acting. She has, instead, chosen to focus on their two daughters, Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee. Despite this shift, Mendes still supports Gosling’s career. She even shared her thoughts on his memorable performance at the 2024 Oscars.

Mendes explained her Instagram post where she urged Gosling to “come home” to “put the kids to bed.” The post was made the same day she was seen outside Gosling’s dressing room. It encapsulates their relationship dynamic. She explained, “You go, do your job the best you can, and then come home. [sic]”

Mendes has journeyed from Hollywood to now wanting to stay at home. Her journey paints a picture of a woman who has embraced new roles and responsibilities. Despite the changes, she remains deeply connected to her partner.

While she chose to support Gosling from behind the scenes at the Oscars, he had the support of his family. Gosling’s sister, Mandi, accompanied the actor on the red carpet.

This sparked headlines. Many outlets noted Mendes’ absence and called her Gosling’s “wife.” This public perception of their relationship may have been fueled by Mendes wearing a gold band on her ring finger.

One sighting was in February 2020 when she spoke at an event called “Create & Cultivate.” The ring was also visible in November 2023 when she shared a video of herself petting a horse.

Despite Mendes’ absence from the red carpet, she has made it clear that she is Gosling’s biggest cheerleader. Gosling has shared how Mendes and their daughters have been his sounding board, offering him advice for his performance at the Oscars.

He shared, “They are such a huge part of this for me… it was my girls’ interest in Barbie and disinterest in Ken that got me into this in the first place. It was beautiful to have them there at the end.” Adding to the intrigue, Mendes has a tattoo that reads, “De Gosling” on her forearm, hinting at their deep personal bond.

Mendes has previously addressed her decision to avoid the red carpet with Gosling. In an April 2023 post featuring footage from their 2012 film “Place Beyond The Pines,” she wrote, “Magic is Real. We did not meet on set. The magic started way before, but here’s a little magic captured on camera.”

Fans have expressed hope to see Mendes with Gosling during the Awards Season. The actress responded and clarified their approach to public appearances. She replied, “What a cool comment; thank you. But we don’t do those things together… Like these photos I’ve been posting, I’m only comfortable posting because it’s already out there.”

This indicates that Mendes prefers to keep their relationship private. She wants their private lives separate from their professional lives. She further clarified, “Oh wait – for those who may catch me in a ‘lie’ – we only were on the red carpet together once when promoting this film.”

On the other hand, Gosling has never held back with public declarations of love for Mendes. In a 2015 interview, he stated, “I know that I’m with the person I’m supposed to be with.” The actor added that the only quality he looks for in a woman is “that she’s Eva Mendes.”

In 2016, he was asked about his thoughts on the 3:1 girl-to-boy ratio in his house. He described it as “heaven,” likening it to “walking through a field of flowers every day.” He added, “I live with angels. It’s like a ray of sunshine in a dark time honestly.”

Gosling deeply appreciates and admires Mendes. His heartfelt speech at the 2017 Golden Globes further highlighted this fact. He thanked her for managing their home and caring for their family while he was filming “La La Land.”

He acknowledged her efforts in their family. While raising their daughter, Mendes was pregnant with their second child. At the same time, she was helping her brother fight his battle with cancer. He said, “If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. Sweetheart, thank you.”

Later on the red carpet, Gosling gushed about his family life, saying, “All the cliches are true. It’s a dream and they are angels.” During the Los Angeles premiere of the film “Barbie” last year, Gosling subtly honored Mendes.

He donned a pastel-pink suit by Gucci and accessorized with a pendant bearing the initial “E” in the iconic Barbie font. On the red carpet, he affirmed that the pendant was a tribute to Mendes, symbolizing his profound personal dedication to her.

The glimpses into the private life of Mendes and Gosling are rare and precious. They are much like the few real-life family photos that offer a peek into their world away from the spotlight. These snapshots capture moments of love, joy, and everyday life. It paints a picture of a family that values privacy and cherishes their time together.

Mendes and Gosling have managed to strike a delicate balance between their public personas and their private life. They have navigated the challenges of fame while maintaining a strong bond and a stable family life.

Their story is a testament to their commitment to each other and their children. They demonstrate the possibility of a balance between professional aspirations and personal happiness. They’ve made personal choices that prioritize family and love over fame.

Mendes chose to leave Hollywood to be with her family. Additionally, Gosling often talks about how much he loves and respects her. This shows how much they care about each other and what they believe in.

Recently, the sexiest man alive, 57-year-old actor Patrick Dempsey, made a red carpet appearance with his wife and his children.

The Dempsey family stepped out in style for the movie premiere of Ferrari, and as everyone agreed that they all looked incredibly stylish, one particular member of the family stole the spotlight, one of the actors twin sons, 16-year-old Darby.

Why this young man made many talking is his striking resemblance to his handsome dad.

Fans couldn’t help but comment how much Darby looks like his dad. “OMG! His son, the one on the right side of the photo, is his clone! ??,” one person wrote.

Another fan likened the young man to his dad’s character on Grey’s Anatomy and dubbed him “the next McDreamy.”

The truth is that good looks run in the Demspey family.

Patrick and wife Jillian first became parents in 2002 with the arrival of their daughter, Talula, 21. A few years later, they welcome their twin boys, Darby and Sullivan, 16.

Speaking of being a dad of three, Patrick revealed that having a bigger family made things easier for him and his wife.

“I love having a big family. I think it’s easier, oddly, in some ways, having three children as opposed to one. And it’s been great for my relationship with my wife and our life and everything,” the Grey’s Anatomy alum said in 2008.

However, when his children turned teenagers, he revealed that things were now harder because raising teens required a lot of energy.

“Because you need to be around, but they don’t want you around because they’re fighting for their independence, which they should,” he told People in 2023. “They need to find out how they interact in the world, they need to learn those boundaries, they need to make mistakes. And you need to be there for them and allow them to learn from that.”

After years of being a runner-up, Patrick finally received the well-deserved title of “Sexiest Man Alive.”

“I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life. It’s nice to have the recognition,” the actor said.

Asked how his children would react, McDreamy said they would probably tease him.

As we previously reported, her daughter, Seraphina, was seen with a new hairdo during a public outing in February 2024. Pictures of her look sparked online chatter when it was revealed.

On Tuesday morning, the 15-year-old daughter of the ex-Hollywood couple, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, was photographed while waiting for her school bus with her mom. Photos shared online show Seraphina Affleck wearing jeans, a beige sweater, and an olive-colored backpack, sporting a buzz cut This edgy hairstyle change comes after the teenager, who also wore earphones, was seen with a bob late last year. Images of Seraphina, born on January 6, 2009, prompted diverse comments from the public. Of the young girl’s appearance, one person noted, “She looks like her dad with that shaved hair.” Similarly, another reiterated, “She looks like her father.” Someone else stated, “Sad what happened to this kid.”

I say a little color will make it pop!”

Ben and Seraphina Affleck spotted in Paris, France on July 26, 2022 | Source: Getty Images Although Seraphina, whose doting parents revealed her lovely name to media outlets seven days after she was born, has garnered significant traction online, she does not have a social media account. This decision was previously discussed by Seraphina Affleck’s mom, Garner, who has kept her children off social media. Last year, Garner shared a conversation she had with her children — Seraphina, Violet, and Samuel. The “13 Going on 30” star divulged, “I just said to my kids, ‘Show me the articles that prove that social media is good for teenagers, and then we’ll have that conversation.’”

Garner went on to say that so far, her eldest daughter, Violet, has been appreciative of her mom’s decision not to allow them on social media. As a mother of two daughters in their teens and a son on the verge of teenagehood, the loving mom understands how “hard” it is “to be an adolescent.” As far as how Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel’s doting dad feel about social media, the “Air” talent previously expressed, “I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring.”

He specifically mentioned the false rhetoric that he is miserable based on pictures of his facial expressions.

While Seraphina wore a flannel shirt with a T-shirt underneath and Adidas sneakers, Emme opted for shorts, a baggy hoodie, and Converse sneakers.Social media responses to Seraphina’s new hairstyle were diverse. Comments included observations on her resemblance to her father, with one user noting, “Wow, she looks like her dad.” Similarly, another expressed, “She does look like her dad. She’s beautiful.”

In an unexpected move that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, ABC has terminated its long-standing relationship with Jimmy Kimmel, effectively canceling his late-night show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” After nearly two decades of late-night banter, celebrity interviews, and comedic skits, the network has decided to pull the plug, citing a decline in viewership and a shift in the network’s strategic direction. The decision was announced early Tuesday morning, leaving fans and critics alike in disbelief.

Jimmy Kimmel, a fixture in American late-night television since 2003, has been known for his quick wit, satirical humor, and the ability to navigate the fine line between comedy and controversy. However, according to ABC executives, it appears that Kimmel’s brand of humor no longer aligns with the network’s vision for its future. In a press release, the network stated, “After careful consideration, we have decided to move in a different direction. We appreciate Jimmy’s contributions to ABC and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”The news has sparked a flurry of reactions from across the political and cultural spectrum. Critics of Kimmel, particularly those with conservative leanings, have long accused the comedian of harboring a liberal bias, arguing that his political commentary alienates a significant portion of the American audience.

Kimmel’s monologues, often laced with criticisms of conservative politicians and policies, have made him a polarizing figure, admired by some for his outspokenness but derided by others for what they perceive as partisan sniping disguised as entertainment. In recent years, the landscape of late-night television has undergone a profound transformation.

The genre, once dominated by universally appealing comedy and light-hearted interviews, has increasingly veered into the territory of political commentary and advocacy. Kimmel himself has been at the forefront of this shift, using his platform to address serious issues such as healthcare, gun control, and immigration. While these segments have earned him praise in certain circles, they have also contributed to a growing sense of divisiveness, prompting some viewers to turn away in search of less politically charged entertainment options.

The decision to cancel “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” raises important questions about the future of late-night television and the role of comedians in the public discourse. On one hand, comedians like Kimmel have demonstrated the power of humor to shine a light on societal issues, engaging audiences in conversations about topics of critical importance. On the other hand, the blending of comedy and politics runs the risk of alienating viewers who seek entertainment as an escape from the contentiousness of the political arena.

ABC’s move to sever ties with Kimmel may be indicative of a broader industry trend toward depoliticizing late-night television. As networks grapple with declining viewership and the fragmentation of the media landscape, the pressure to appeal to a wider audience and to steer clear of controversy has never been greater. In this context, the decision to cancel “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” could be seen as a strategic attempt to recalibrate the network’s programming and to reclaim viewers who have felt marginalized by the show’s political content.The fallout from ABC’s decision is likely to be far-reaching.

For Kimmel, the cancellation marks the end of an era and the beginning of an uncertain future. While his talent and influence are undeniable, the challenge of navigating a media environment that is increasingly intolerant of political divisiveness cannot be understated. For ABC, the task of filling the void left by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will be no small feat. The network must find a way to strike a balance between entertainment and engagement, humor and seriousness, in a way that resonates with a broad cross-section of the American public. As for the audience, the end of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” signals a pivotal moment in the evolution of late-night television. In an age where entertainment and politics are deeply intertwined, the appetite for purely comedic content, free from the undercurrents of partisan debate, may be growing.

Whether other networks and comedians will follow ABC’s lead remains to be seen, but the cancellation of Kimmel’s show underscores a fundamental truth: in the quest for laughs, the line between funny and funereal is thinner than ever. In conclusion, ABC’s decision to fire Jimmy Kimmel and cancel his late-night show is more than just the end of a television program; it’s a reflection of the changing dynamics within the entertainment industry and society at large.

As the dust settles, the legacy of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and its impact on the landscape of American late-night television will continue to be debated. What remains clear, however, is that in a divided nation, the role of the comedian as both entertainer and commentator is fraught with challenges, and the quest for a formula that can unite rather than divide is ongoing.

Many people love Michael Bublé, a singer from Canada who became really famous in 2005 with his album “It’s Time” and in 2007 with “Call Me Irresponsible.” Those albums reached number one on charts in Canada, the UK, the US, and more.

Even though he’s sold over 75 million records worldwide and won Grammy Awards, Michael has stayed down-to-earth. He is married to Luisana Lopilato, an actress from Argentina, and they have four children together.

The couple’s son, Noah, who will turn 9 this year, went through a tough time when he was diagnosed with liver cancer at just 3 years old. The singer, Michael Bublé, got the heartbreaking news right before he was about to perform on The One Show in London.

His wife sent him a text saying something was wrong, and it was really tough for him. He described it as one of the worst things a parent or any person could hear. Fortunately, Noah is now in remission, which means he’s getting better. But going through that experience was extremely difficult for the family.

The musician said, “I would have preferred it to be me. Many times I wished it was.” He also mentioned that the tough experience made their family even stronger and changed the way they look at life. On Noah’s eighth birthday, Michael Bublé wrote a heartfelt post on Instagram, calling him his hero.

He talked about how brave and kind Noah is and expressed deep love. He also shared two pictures of them together over the years

Bublé mentioned that the prayers from fans, friends, and even strangers were a big support during their battle against cancer as a family.

Felix rushes to help when he sees his elderly neighbor struggling to cut her overgrown lawn. She forces an unusual antique box on him as a token of her appreciation, but the gift lands Felix in deep trouble when her lawyer phones to request an urgent meeting.

Felix was going through the monthly figures for his handyman business when the growl of a lawnmower drew his attention. He peeked through his kitchen window and was shocked to see elderly Mrs. McAllister struggling to control her lawnmower with one hand while using her cane with the other.

When Felix caught up to her, Mrs. McAllister was red in the face and sweating profusely. She switched the lawnmower off.

“Felix…is there…something…I can help…you with?” she panted.

“Step aside and let me help you! Honestly, Mrs. McAllister, your son should be helping you with these chores. It ain’t right to let your elderly Mom struggle alone.”

After a long morning cutting and raking the tall, damp grass, Mrs. McAllister invited Felix inside for a glass of lemonade. He was astonished by the dusty clutter of knick-knacks, dirt, and cobwebs in her home. It seemed to Felix that his kindhearted neighbor couldn’t take care of herself anymore.

“Here you go, dear.” Mrs. McAllister placed a glass of lemonade on the table.

“I also want you to have this. It’s an antique that’s been passed down in my family.”

Felix frowned at the metal box she held out to him. It had an odd set of dials on the lid and was surprisingly heavy.

“I don’t need a fancy gift for such a simple task, Mrs. McAllister.” Felix handed the box back to her.

Mrs. McAllister frowned with disappointment. She insisted he take something for his troubles and fetched a grocery bag filled with apples for his daughter, Suzie. Afterward, she slumped into her armchair with a loud groan, clearly exhausted.

Felix insisted that Mrs. McAllister call him next time she needed help and left her to rest. Later that day, Suzie rushed up to Felix with an excited grin.

“Dad, look what I found under the apples Mrs. McAllister gave us!” She showed him the same strange metal box. “I think these dials are a combination lock, but I can’t open it.”

“I’m sorry, Suzie, I know you love old puzzle boxes and things, but we aren’t keeping this.” He held out his hand for the box. “I’m going to return it to Mrs. McAllister.”

Suzie was deeply upset, but Felix insisted. He marched back to Mrs. McAllister’s house with the box, but she didn’t answer the door. With a frustrated groan, he tried the door handle. He yelled to Mrs. McAllister that he was coming in to return her box safely, then stepped inside.

Mrs. McAllister’s body was slumped in the armchair. Her eyes stared at the wall, unseeing and empty.

“Mrs. McAllister!” Felix shouted as he rushed to her side, but it was no good: Mrs. McAllister was gone.

Felix forgot about the box until much later when he realized it was in his pocket. On a whim, he searched online for similar antique boxes. He swore when he finally found a match.

This box was worth $250,000!

Felix hadn’t wanted to keep the box, but he couldn’t return it anymore, and that amount of money would secure Suzie’s future. He had to sell it, for Suzie’s sake. In the meanwhile, Felix stored the box in a safe place. A few days later, Felix got a strange phone call.

“This is Tim, Mrs. McAllister’s lawyer. I’d like to meet with you, as soon as possible. Are you available now?”

Tim’s urgency made Felix wary, but he agreed to meet the lawyer at a cafe in town. Despite his unease, he was curious about why Tim wanted to see him. His confusion grew when he arrived and saw Mrs. McAllister’s son, Henry, seated at a table with the man who had to be Tim.

Henry glared at him when Felix joined them. “I’m going to cut to the chase, Felix. A precious heirloom has gone missing from my mother’s house, a small box with some dials on the lid. You were the last person in her house and I wanted to give you a chance to do the right thing.”

“You think I stole from your mother?” Felix yelled. “Mrs. McAllister gave the box to me as thanks for cutting her grass—a chore you should’ve done for her!”

“Mom would never have given you that box!” Henry stabbed his finger in Felix’s direction. “It belonged to my great-great-grandfather, a well-known politician, who commissioned it from a famous artisan! It’s one of only two in the world! You’re going to return the box to me and I’ll give you $1000 for it. Deal?”

“No.” Felix stood. “You’re welcome to join the bidding when I put it up for auction. Goodbye, Henry.”

The next day, Felix went to a local auction house to have the box appraised. An earnest man with a snooty accent called Mr. Whitaker invited him into a back room for the appraisal. They were joined by a woman called Ellen.

“I can immediately verify that the craftsmen’s mark on the underside is authentic,” Mr. Whitaker said. “That means this is quite a notable piece, sir. One of only two in the world.”

Ellen leaned over to study the box. “That is quite lovely…may I see your provenance documentation?”

“Excuse me?” Felix asked.

A muscle twitched in the woman’s cheek. “You need to provide a certificate of authentication, or any verifiable document that proves the artifact’s authenticity and your ownership.”

“Uh…I left all that stuff at home,” Felix lied. He didn’t like the turn this appraisal had taken. He took the box from the table and moved toward the door. “I’ll fetch it and be right back.”

“We can’t let you do that.” Ellen sidestepped to block his path to the door.

“We are obliged to notify the authorities of any…irregularities concerning items tied to historical figures.”

Felix panicked. He dodged around the woman and Mr. Whitaker and rushed into the hallway. He reached the reception area just as an alarm started blaring.

Felix felt like he was back on his high school football field as he dodged and slipped past guards who hurried to stop him. One caught hold of his arm, but he jerked free and raced out of the building and onto the street. He ran from there until his legs felt like jelly.

Felix paced his sitting room as he pondered his next move. He needed to sell the box to invest in Suzie’s future, but he couldn’t do that without some kind of paperwork.

He wished he could ask Mrs. McAllister about it. She’d know exactly what documents he needed to prove provenance and probably be able to provide them too. Felix paused as he realized there might be a way to sell the box. It wasn’t something he wanted to do, but he had no other choice.

Felix selected some useful items from his toolboxes and then fetched his boltcutter from the garage. After Suzie went to bed that night, Felix crept out and broke into Mrs. McAllister’s house to search for the documents he needed.

A chill went down Felix’s spine as he stepped into Mrs. McAllister’s bedroom. It still smelled like her in here. Looking through her personal space felt creepy and invasive, but he forced himself to continue. He was halfway across the room when the bedroom light turned on.

“Not so high and mighty now, are you Felix?” Henry crowed from the door.

Felix turned. Henry was holding his phone up, and the flash flickered in Felix’s eyes as Henry took photos of him.

Felix raised a hand to hide his face. “This isn’t what it looks like, Henry. I just need—”

“The documentation for the box, I know.” Henry smirked. “My family has a known connection to that box so the auction house contacted me after you tried to scam them. Of course, I told them you stole it—”

“That’s a lie!”

“But you can’t prove ownership without proper documentation.” Henry crossed his arms and widened his stance, filling the doorway. “You can’t sell it either. I’ll give you until 8 a. m tomorrow to hand it over, otherwise I’ll call the cops.”

Henry stepped aside, and Felix fled from Mrs. McAllister’s house. The consequences he now faced weighed heavily on him. He wished he’d left the box in Mrs. McAllister’s house the same day he found her dead.

But she’d wanted him to have it! Felix didn’t believe Henry would stick to his word if he handed the box over. Thoughts raced through his mind. By dawn, he knew what he had to do.

He asked his mom to come over immediately, then woke Suzie and told her to quickly pack a bag. A few hours later, they all stood at the front door. He’d explained everything, and now they had to say goodbye.

Felix gave the box to Suzie. “Sell it as soon as you can. Don’t take anything less than 100, 000 dollars for it, okay? This is the only way to get clear of this mess while still ensuring you get to live your life to the fullest.”

Felix hugged his daughter tightly and held back the tears forming in his eyes. Saying goodbye to her was one of the hardest things he’d ever faced in his life.

“Promise me you’ll live a good life, Suzie,” he said as he looked into her eyes. “Study hard so you make something of yourself, and travel so you can see what the world has to offer you. Take care of your grandma…family is important, and the elderly deserve our respect.”

Police sirens wailed in the distance. It was 8:30 a.m., half an hour past Henry’s deadline. He suspected those sirens were coming for him. He watched Mom and Suzie pull out of the driveway as the police sirens grew closer and closer. He took some comfort from knowing they were clear of this mess when the cops arrested him.

Despite Henry’s threats, the charges against Felix were complicated by legal technicalities. Since the box was now missing, key parts of Henry’s case were in doubt. Felix spent four months in a holding cell awaiting his court date. One day, a guard told him someone posted his bail.

Felix was deeply confused. He followed the man to the front section of the prison, where Suzie was waiting for him. They walked outside together. Mom was parked at the curb, waiting for them.

“Okay, Suzie, I can’t wait anymore,” Felix said as they got into the car. “What’s going on?”

“Well, I didn’t listen to you about the box.” Suzie smiled sheepishly. “Instead, I figured out how to open it. Inside it was a certificate of authentication, and a note from Mrs. McAllister. She really wanted you to have that box, Dad. The note said so.”

Felix frowned. He still didn’t understand Mrs. McAllister’s insistence that he take the box, but Suzie wasn’t finished, so he didn’t get much time to mull it over.

“So I showed the note to your lawyer, and then I took the box with all the papers to an antique dealer.” Suzie grinned broadly. “He gave us enough money for it to post bail and we still have $100,000 left!”

This look can go from the bedroom to the dinner table and back again.

Bianca Censori can’t resist a tights-only outfit, but she switched up her style from sheer hosiery to a lacy look to head out to dinner with husband Kanye West in Los Angeles Thursday night.
