Shaquille O’Neal is perhaps one of the most popular basketball players of all time. The athlete is not just famous because of how well he played the game but also because of how generous he is!

Over the years, there have been multiple stories that have come out that highlight just how generous Shaq is. He is often seen paying bills for other people at restaurants as well as leaving waitstaff with very generous tips.

The Collins Kids is a popular Instagram account for a family with nine siblings. It is no secret that Shaq is friends with the family and often meets them to spend time with them.

The Instagram account is run by Karissa, the young mother of 9 children, and has amassed over 350k followers. Shaq had been communicating with the family over the Instagram account. And at the beginning of this year, he even paid the young family a visit.

During his first visit with them, he spent quality time with the children and doted on them. Karissa wrote in a post she made later about the visit, “He came in and played “Watch ya mouth” with the kids, loved on them, encouraged them, entertained them, took pics with them, gave them gifts, encouraged us as parents, and just showed us so much love.”

And while even this sweet interaction was enough for the family, the legendary athlete had something else in mind. A few months after the initial meeting, he reached out again and surprised the family with dinner. “Last night we had a surprise visit from Shaq. He took us to dinner as a family at babes chicken. It was so much fun to just hang out and eat dinner with him.”

While again, this seemed to make the family plenty happy, the NBA player had other plans. The next day, he took the family to the Mercedes dealership and order a custom 15-passenger van for them that they are due to receive in mid-July.

The family was shocked at his generosity and the kids were delighted and couldn’t stop hugging their hero.

And that wasn’t all Shaq did! The family went out to dinner with the NBA legend again. They said during the dinner, he spread happiness all around.

“He then took us to dinner at rainforest café where he paid for another [table’s] entire meal not knowing that they were from out of state and here on missions. And then he tipped our waitress $1000 after her car broke down today,” Karissa said.

During their second dinner together, Shaq found out that the father of nine was having issues with his truck. The air conditioning and heating hadn’t been working properly for a while.

Immediately, Shaq knew what he wanted to do. He took the family to the Ford dealership and bought the dad a new truck!

The family couldn’t feel more blessed! Apart from his generous gifts, Shaquille O’Neal also spent quality time with them which they were more than grateful for.

Karissa wrote, “He also spent time encouraging us and loving on our children and speaking life into our family.”

Shaquille O’Neal is clearly a wonderful human being. Not everyone with his amount of wealth is as generous with it.

Share Shaq’s generous acts with others to inspire them to do the same!

Princess Diana was quite the most popular lady on the planet! In the 80’s and’s everything 90 might do she made was reported by paparazzi.

The accompanying pictures depict an exceptionally extraordinary side of Diana before her life reached a conclusion.

Diana was so nervous that when she made it to the altar she called her future husband by the wrong name! She called him Philip Charles Arthur George instead of just Charles Philip!

Train Troubles

Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, comments that her elaborate tiara gave her a headache! During an interview, he said, “In the evening we all went to a sort of semi-private party and she was there and she seemed incredibly relaxed and happy and I just remember she had a cracking headache too because she wasn’t used to wearing a tiara all morning.” Regardless, Diana wore the Spencer Tiara, which had been in Diana’s family for almost a century.

Red Flag

It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these two, there was some trouble in paradise from the start. For example, in 1981, when their engagement was confirmed, a reporter asked the two if they were in love. Diana said, “Of course,” while Charles said, “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”

Safety First

It can’t be an easy thing, growing up in the searing spotlight that comes with both of your parents being famous Hollywood stars.

Sure, you’ll likely never want for anything, and there are far worse environments to be born into, but for Dylan Michael and Carys Zeta Douglas, the children of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, life has been pretty interesting to say the least.

The media has watched on with interest as Dylan and Carys have grown, with many wondering whether or not they would follow their illustrious parents into stardom.

Now, in the case of Carys at least, it appears we have an answer …

Zeta-Jones herself has been open with her admissions that both of her children would follow her onto the big screen, or at least attempt to.

The 49-year-old told Hello! Magazine in an interview: “When they’re on stage, you want to look at them. And they’re interested in the craft. My son wants to do a Bachelor of Arts in theatre. My daughter wanted to be a paediatrician until she was five, when she decided acting was better.”

With both children aiming to follow in their parents’ footsteps, there are plenty of people interested in watching their developments. Those looking for proof need look no further than the recent buzz surrounding Carys, who’s been turning plenty of heads for the simple fact of looking more and more like her mom with each passing day.

The teen made her debut at New York Fashion Week last year in an appearance that generated a tremendous amount of hype.

She’s flown under the radar since then – which is perfectly acceptable since she’s only 15-years-old – but the radio-silence was ended this week after she accompanied her mother to another fashion event.

Carys and Catherine stole the show at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda women’s couture event, held at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. Arriving in matching outfits, mother and daughter posed for a number of pictures that pay testament to their likeness.

Carys is certainly developing into a beautiful woman just like her mother. Not only that, but by all accounts she has a kind personality to match!

More recently, B. Willis’s family admitted that the actor was suffering from dementia. The illness forced the action star to quit his acting profession because, because of it, he could not work normally.

Fans hoped with all their hearts that the treatment would have a positive effect and that the beloved “Die Hard” Bruce would be able to return to the movies. However, the disease progresses rapidly, and he has great difficulty recognizing even his relatives.

Recently, paparazzi captured the actor riding in a car. It is clear how much he has aged during this time, and it is clear that the illness has not changed him for the better.

If before the star of Hollywood blockbusters always had the image of a kind of charismatic and brutal action hero, now he resembles a frail old man, which is sad for millions of fans.

What do you say about this?

Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, have been expanding their family since they married in 2012. The couple welcomed their seventh child together in September 2022, a daughter named Ilaria Catalina Irena Baldwin. Alec Baldwin has a total of eight children, with his oldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.

Hilaria shared the news of their daughter’s arrival on Instagram, posting pictures and videos and expressing their excitement about the new addition to their family. She mentioned that both mother and daughter were healthy, and their other children were spending time bonding with their new sibling.

While the Baldwins are clearly delighted with their growing family, some individuals had strong reactions to the choice of their daughter’s name. The couple is known for selecting unique names for their children with Spanish origins, despite Hilaria’s Boston-born background. This sparked controversy due to Hilaria’s alleged misrepresentation of her heritage and use of a fake Spanish accent in 2020.

Some critics took issue with the name Ilaria, suggesting it was another example of Hilaria trying to appear Spanish despite her background. Others pointed out that Ilaria is actually an Italian name, meaning “cheerful,” and was popular in Italy in the mid-2000s.

The choice of their daughter’s name has generated discussion and debate, reflecting the couple’s distinctive approach to naming their children and the controversy surrounding Hilaria’s cultural identity.

Being a famous celebrity comes with its own set of challenges. Constant recognition and the pressure to meet unrealistic standards can be overwhelming. A single misstep or a bout of negative press can permanently damage a celebrity’s reputation, even the most beloved ones.Jennifer Garner, a renowned actress at 51, is a shining example of a celebrity who has built a sterling reputation. While she’s known for her standout roles in films like Daredevil, 13 Going on 30, Elektra, and Pearl Harbor, she’s equally celebrated for her kindness and compassion.

As a mother of three, Garner has endeared herself to the American public. She shares her children, Samuel, Seraphina, and Violet, with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Beyond her charming exterior, Garner has shared a side of herself that not many are privy to. In a recent interview, she candidly discussed her struggles with public perception.Garner pointed out, “The problem with, ‘Oh, she’s so nice’ is that when I have any kind of boundary, people think of it as much more than it actually is. The problem is being recognized on a day where I’m not so nice or when I have blackness in my soul.” She openly admitted to having off days, where she may not exude warmth.Despite her global fame and considerable wealth, Garner has consistently shown that she remains down-to-earth and approachable. This is why it was surprising to see the backlash she received when photographed jogging in her Brentwood neighborhood, makeup-free and with her hair pulled ba

Garner has been an advocate for normalizing natural body images and challenging the societal emphasis on a “perfect” appearance. Nonetheless, some online commentators couldn’t resist criticizing her.The comments ranged from calling her names like “platypus” to making ageist remarks comparing her to a grandma. Some even went so far as to question her appearance and suggest she’s “morphing into a man.”In my opinion, Jennifer Garner is undeniably attractive, and it’s unfair to criticize her for stepping out without makeup.

No One Believes Donna Mills Is 82: She Glows with Other Hollywood Legends in a Pic

Mills sparkled in a glamorous pink outfit in an Instagram post, while Collins stunned in a gorgeous black dress. Meanwhile, Gray looked fabulous in her shimmery gray and silver attire. The trio had come together for a magazine shoot, as was evident from Mills’ caption, which read:

“What a delight working with these lovely ladies. Thank you Hello Magazine @hellomag for a terrific story in your latest issue.”

Fans couldn’t help but appreciate seeing the three divas in one frame. “Dallas, Dynasty & Knots Landing in one frame ❤️ These Iconic ladies made those shows! 🙌 [sic],” wrote one user.

Others dubbed the three Hollywood stars “icons,” “soap queens,” and “legends,” with some stating how they had grown up watching them on television. Some even pointed out how the stunning ladies had stopped aging with time.

In June 2022, Mills appeared on the “Tamron Hall Show” and discussed taking an 18-year-long break to focus on motherhood. Many netizens appreciated “The Lady Forgets” star and admired her timeless aura. People were shocked to learn Mills’ age was 81 at the time.

Some wondered how she could look so amazing for her age, while others were stunned by her evergreen beauty. “She hasn’t aged a bit,” added another user. Until 1989, Mills entertained the audience as Abby Cunningham in “Knots Landing.”

But afterward, she purposely gave up acting to raise her daughter, Chloe Mills. After enjoying a fulfilling and prosperous career in the 80s doing photoshoots and gracing magazine covers, the “Dangerous Intentions” star decided to concentrate on motherhood in the 90s, doing so for almost two decades.

Mills has been reveling in her Hollywood comeback with roles in both movies and television. “The Good Life” star said her purpose is to encourage others, especially women, never to think it was over for them in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and even after that.

In an exclusive interview in May 2022, Mills, a doting parent and ecstatic octogenarian, shared the scoop on how she’s managed to keep herself in shape. Her secret to aging gracefully results from mindful eating, saying no to cosmetic treatments, and embracing her natural lines.

The riveting actress revealed that she never misses her workout sessions involving weight training and stretching. She also has a ballet bar in her home gym, where she loves to practice her dance moves.

Mills described herself as a healthy eater who doesn’t like pasta, starch, or sugar. Despite calling herself a mediocre cook, the “Joy” actress loves consuming proteins and veggies and prefers to eat vegetables and fruits, which she’s grown in her kitchen garden.

For her skin, Mills likes to steer clear of the sun and disapproves of cosmetic procedures. In her defense, she expressed she had no intentions of looking like a duck and loved her lines and wrinkles.

In a short and exclusive video from June 2014, Mills explained why she liked doing her own makeup, despite having worked with top-notch beauty professionals.

The “Moonlight Becomes You” actress mentioned how she loved to do her makeup at home, feeling comfortable and entertained while sitting in front of the TV.

She added how many people were inspired by her eye makeup, and in 1986, she produced an instructional makeup clip, “The Eyes Have It,” for them. As was expected, the video amassed immense praise and appreciation.

Diving into Motherhood at 54 Was Worth It

For a long time, Mills said she was only devoted to her career, but everything changed when she became a mother. The “Hilton Head Island” alum recalled thinking something was missing in her life, and it wasn’t long before she understood it was a baby.

After that, she adopted a daughter when she was only four days old. The then-54-year-old Mills claimed how many people told her she was too old to care for a tot. But deep down, she said she didn’t feel old than the moms, who were likely to be in their 20s.

Despite the criticism, Mills saw it as the perfect time to become a parent. “If you want to give to your career, I say having a child later in life is better than having a child early,” noted the first-time mother.

Over the years, the “Bare Essence” star has maintained a close bond with her daughter. Chloe, who’s in her late 20s, reportedly sees her mom once every week, and the duo converses on the phone and messages daily.

Mills also revealed that she took an 18-year-old long hiatus from acting to raise her girl. Not wanting to entrust her daughter to a babysitter or nanny, the blonde TV icon became a stay-at-home parent for almost two decades with no regrets.

Falling in Love at 60: Donna Found Happiness with a 10 Years Younger “M*A*S*H” Star

Mills has been in a long-term relationship with Larry Gilman since 2001. Born on April 3, 1950, in New York, Gilman is an actor and producer, most popularly known for starring in the TV show “M*A*S*H,” and the movies “Final Destination” and “Cool Runnings.”

In addition to being a successful actor and movie-maker, Gilman is an entrepreneur and master business consultant. In an exclusive video interview in 2012, he shared a golden piece of advice for anyone longing to create a life of their dreams.

Gilman stated how our passion was meant to bring us enjoyment, and if that weren’t the case, it would be better to do something else. Despite being ten years younger than his lady love, Gilman has been going strong in his relationship with his award-winning partner.

In 2015, “The Secret Storm” alum gushed over her then-beau-of-14-years, who loved spoiling her with the most thoughtful and romantic presents.

Gilman gifted Mills her very own vineyard that year, and she couldn’t be happier! Mills shared how Gilman planted a vineyard for her in 2014 and called him a good guy.

The couple’s vineyard in LA’s Brentwood neighborhood was only a year old once, and at that time, Mills and Gilman planned to bottle their own wine in the future from their Californian grapes, hoping to call it “Ethereal.”
