One of the most active actors in her generation is Julie Andrews. There is no denying her impact on the Hollywood industry.

The actress has hardly been spotted in public recently. But everyone is expressing the same sentiment in response to her most recent public appearance…

Julie Andrews’ parents were vaudeville artists, thus she was raised in a world full with entertainment. Early on, she demonstrated an interest in performing, and eventually went on to achieve great achievements and leave a lasting impression on the acting industry. For her portrayal of Mary Poppins, she received an Academy Award.

The actress said of the role and film, “It was a brand new thing in my life that I’d never done before. It was for Walt Disney, of course, and the songs in Mary Poppins had a kind of Vaudeville quality to them.”

“I think it’s what attracted me to the role, because all that kind of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Jolly Holiday music was very much like the kind of things that you hear in English vaudeville,” the actress added.

Andrews assisted Disney in setting records with Mary Poppins. The movie received 13 Academy Award nominations and ended up becoming the highest-grossing movie of 1964.

Andrews said how the inspiration for the Mary Poppins attire came from her ex-husband Tony Walton. His suggestions led to the decision to use colorful patterns on the inside while portraying a more “uniform” appearance on the outside. She disclosed what Tony had said to her at that time., “Because I think that’s what gives her pleasure. Very formal on the outside and a little bit wicked on the inside.”

“It completely gave me a clue as to her character. Big, big help for me,” she later recalled, giving him his due credit. The actress went on to play her iconic role as Maria von Trapp in The Sound Of Music. Recently, she narrated Netflix’s Bridgerton series as Lady Whistledown.

However, the actress did not appear on camera; she merely provided the voice for the narration. She also eliminated any chance that it would occur.

“No, no, no,” she said when asked about the possibility of a role in front of the camera. “You know who Lady Whistledown really is, so I’m afraid it stays with me in the background. But I’m very happy to do that.”

Because the actress just made a rare public appearance, fans who were eager to see her can now relax. At the Sag Harbor farmers’ market in The Hamptons on Long Island, New York, the 87-year-old veteran actress was spotted.

She was attractive as she waved to passersby and used her cane to stroll. Fans are not accustomed to seeing the actress walking with a cane. Before heading to her car, she was observed purchasing two boxes of Lu Petit Ecolier European dark chocolate biscuits and some flowers.

Julie Andrews, who is renowned for her traditional manner, did not let us down in this instance either. The actress wore fitting gray pants and a light gray long-sleeve top. She completed her outfit with a white scarf around her neck, a beige tote purse, white sneakers, and gold stud earrings.

A man placed an umbrella over her as she attempted to get into the SUV because it had started to rain. In the images posted online, she appeared to be rather gorgeous.

Everyone thought the actress looked stunning. A user of X (formerly known as Twitter) commented that the actress looked “lovely as ever.” Another person said she was “so beautiful.”

Julie Andrews is unquestionably still as endearing as ever. Her well-known smile, which has for decades warmed the hearts of millions, still has the same impact.

After some significant moments surrounding hairstyles, Roseanne Barr has recently debuted a brand new look. She took to Instagram to show off her new hairstyle, which fans quickly reacted to. While some fans loved the look, others were left wondering about it.

Roseanne Barr, at the age of 71, has taken to Instagram to reveal a bold new look that has certainly stirred up her fanbase and the wider public alike. The acclaimed actress and comedian showcased her fresh hairstyle: a textured pixie cut that replaces her previously longer, gray locks.

Capturing the attention of her followers with a selfie, Barr’s post was succinct yet striking, featuring the single word “Cut.” This revelation in what appears to be her bedroom has swiftly gathered momentum, with fans and onlookers alike flooding the comments section with their thoughts and compliments.

The reactions to Barr’s new hairstyle were immediate and overwhelmingly positive. Fans expressed a range of emotions, from surprise to admiration, emphasizing how the haircut has seemingly rejuvenated the television star’s appearance. Comments like, “Wow makes you look younger and hot!!!! <3” flooded the feed.

Others noted the transformation’s impact on Barr’s beauty, stating, “More beautiful than EVER!!!” and “Ro! You should have done this long ago. It looks super stylish.” Such reactions underscore the significant role that a celebrity’s image plays in their connection with the public, as well as the personal empowerment that can come from a change in appearance. While many loved the look, there were others who did not enjoy it and were left wondering, “Why ….

The mastermind behind Barr’s new look is none other than Andre Walker, a renowned hairstylist who also counts Halle Berry and Oprah Winfrey among his elite clientele. Walker, who crafted Berry’s iconic pixie cut, has long advocated for hairstyles that complement an individual’s natural hair and features.

Reflecting on common haircare errors, Walker remarked in 1997, “One mistake that most women make with their hair is going against what their hair is going to do for them. We always want a style that someone else has because it always looks better on someone else.” He also highlighted the relaxed bob as the simplest yet most attractive hairstyle to maintain, suggesting a philosophy of ease and natural beauty that appears to have influenced Barr’s latest hair transformation.

Barr’s influence on hair styling extends beyond her personal transformation to memorable moments on the set of her own show. Michael Fishman, who portrayed D.J. Conner in “Roseanne,” shared an instance from his youth when he was freed from his longstanding bowl cut by Barr herself.

Having been disallowed by Barr to cut his hair, Fishman was taken by surprise when Barr, commenting on the state of his hair, decided to take matters into her own hands and gave him a buzz cut, a change that delighted Fishman. Similarly, Lecy Goranson, the original Becky on the show, recounted how Barr, in a bold move, cut off Goranson’s ponytail on set after hearing her frustrations about not being allowed to change her hairstyle, a drastic action that Goranson ultimately appreciated for its liberating effect.

However, Barr’s journey has not been without controversy. Her career faced a significant setback when ABC canceled the revival of her namesake show following a tweet that was widely condemned for its racist implications towards Valerie Jarrett, a former Obama administration official. Barr’s tweet was a comment that led to swift backlash and the show’s cancellation. ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey described Barr’s remarks as “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.”

In her first national television interview since the scandal, Barr spoke to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, expressing remorse for her actions. “I’ve apologized a lot, it’s been two months,” she stated. “I feel like I have apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness and made recompense, that’s part of my religion.” Despite her apologies, the incident marked a low point in Barr’s career, with the actress acknowledging, “I made a mistake. It cost me my life’s work.” Interestingly, Barr had previously critiqued Jarrett’s hairstyle, saying that she needed to change it up.

Roseanne Barr’s new pixie cut symbolizes a transformation in her style journey. As fans embrace her new look, it remains to be seen how Barr will navigate the complex interplay of celebrity, personal identity, and redemption in the years to come.

The fans barely recognized Roberts in the photojournalists’ recent shots 😱😳

It stands to reason that absolutely no one is getting younger in the course of time and the process of aging is a totally normal as well as inevitable stage of our life. These days, the photojournalists were fortunate enough to capture legendary and desirable film star Roberts who, as it turned out, wasn’t expecting to be caught on camera.

Roberts appeared without any cosmetics on greatly surprising her followers who barely recognized their idol. Many even rushed to leave such comments as: “From a stunning beauty into an exhausted senior woman”.

“The only thing that remained the same is her smile”, “She is gorgeous no matter what!”, “She is ageing beautifully”, “Look what a flawless figure she possesses”.

“I wish I looked like this at 55”.

What can you say about the Hollywood actress’s appearance?

  • Mark Wahlberg helped bag food at the store where he grew up. He has fond memories of the store now, connected to his mother.
  • Wahlberg had a difficult childhood that led to mischievous behaviors.
  • His mother has been an influential figure in his life, and he had a beautiful relationship with her before she passed away.

Mark Wahlberg and his siblings had a difficult upbringing, he has eleven siblings, and his family was not in a comfortable financial state. The siblings were all involved in different things, but a few got into illicit substances.

Wahlberg and his older brothers were some of the children who got into the illicit substances, but they have since turned their lives around and dedicated their lives to their faith and their families.

Recently, Wahlberg returned to his roots and worked in a store in the neighborhood where he grew up. Wahlberg worked for a day at the Stop and Shop, where he worked his first job. He took to Instagram to share the news that he was back in town.

He took a video of himself outside the store and inside, where he packed bags at the checkout. Fans were charmed to see Wahlberg there and stopped to take photos with him as he filled their bags.

He also shared a photo of himself in the store’s aisles and some of the things he and his family had bought from the store when he was growing up. Fans again stopped Wahlberg in the store to take photos.

Fans who didn’t know that he had been back in his hometown packing grocery bags at the checkout of the local store saw the event on social media and talked about how much they admired Wahlberg.

One fan called him a “humble man,” and another said he was “so down to earth” after seeing him posing for photos in the store with his fans. One fan said:

“Always repping where you came from.”

Wahlberg has often returned to his hometown of Boston to participate in charity events and spend time with people he knows from the city. His fans admire him for returning to his roots as often as he does.

How Was Wahlberg’s Upbringing?

Growing up, Wahlberg shared a room with his five brothers in a poor home. He believed he was the youngest of nine children, but later found that his father had had affairs and he had other siblings.

From a young age, Wahlberg was involved in illicit activities and substances. However, the family did not see it as an issue. In fact, when his brother was in a correctional facility, the family saw it as a bonus because he got free sneakers, which he passed down to his siblings.

Talking about reaping the benefits of his brother’s youth incarceration, Wahlberg openly admitted:

“They’d be four sizes too big, but we were actually happy my brother was locked up because we would get free sneakers.”

Wahlberg had his first drug experience when he was just ten years old. He stopped going to school by thirteen, and his mother was none the wiser because she was too preoccupied with her divorce from Wahlberg’s father.

Although his mother wasn’t there for him much when he was growing up, as he got older, the pair developed an excellent relationship, and before her death, they shared an unbreakable bond. Wahlberg says she is one of the most influential people in his life.

Now, because of how he grew up and his mom’s influence on his life, Wahlberg seeks to make the lives of those around him more manageable. He has hired people previously incarcerated because he recognizes that that could have been his life.

When he was 21, Wahlberg broke up with his then-girlfriend as she had had a comfortable childhood, and he felt he couldn’t relate to her because she had grown up on fifth avenue and was accustomed to things like housekeepers and money.

Now that he is one of the highest-paid actors, he uses his tales of his younger days to warn his children against the world’s perils; Wahlberg says they are never impressed by his stories. Instead, they find the stories dull and don’t want to hear any more of them.

Wahlberg has often expressed gratitude for his upbringing and said that growing up the way he did taught him how to survive even the most difficult circumstances. Now, he can make a difference in other people’s lives.

Wahlberg’s Relationship with His Mother and Wife

In 2021, Wahlberg’s mother passed away. He was heartbroken by the loss and was only ready to talk about it long after she had left the earth. Reflecting on their relationship, he mused:

“The first phone call that I made every single day for the last ten years was to my mom. And I don’t get to make that phone call anymore. And it’s heartbreaking.”

Before her death, Wahlberg’s mother confirmed that wherever her son was in the world, he ensured he called her often to see how she was doing and if there was anything she needed from him.

She said the phone calls meant everything to her, and she would even pick up if it were three in the morning. After his mother passed, Wahlberg was hit with the reality that his mother was no longer around on his birthday.

He revealed that his mother had a small gathering for him at her house every year on his birthday, and when she passed on, and it was time for him to cut his cake, it hit him that neither of his parents was around to celebrate with him anymore.

One thing that brought Wahlberg comfort in the months following his mother’s death was spending time with his siblings. He admitted they leaned on one another for support. He also relied on his wife and children.

Wahlberg has become a devoted husband and father and does everything he can to give his children the life he never had growing up. Yet he recognizes it is a fine line to walk, remarking:

“I don’t want them to be terrified of me, you know? But I don’t want them to think they can do whatever they want and get away with it, either, because they can’t.”

The actor believes in being involved in every part of his children’s lives so they feel they can talk to him about anything. He wants his children to have the things he didn’t have when he was younger.

He now has four children with his wife and says he wants his children to have opportunities and material things he couldn’t but doesn’t want them to grow up with a sense of entitlement and wants them to “have the tools to be great people.” He is a loving father and husband who now puts his family first.

Peter Noone was one member of the popular 60’s band, Herman’s Hermits.

With his thick head of hair and boyish charm, it would be easy to compare him to a Justin Beiber or Harry Styles of today.

However, there is one distinct difference between this former teen heartthrob and those of today…

“Herman’s Hermits sold millions of records before anyone even saw us, which just doesn’t happen now,” Noone said.

“I didn’t know what I was doing: my stage persona was a shy little boy, which is basically what I was.”

Noone and the rest of his band released more than 20 hit records and even outsold the Beatles in 1965. Some of their biggest hits included I’m Into Something Good, No Milk Today and There’s A Kind of Hush (All Over the World).

The band received a million-dollar record deal by the time they were 17, and one of the highlights of Noone’s career was when Elvis Presley performed one of their hits–”I’m Henry the Eighth, I Am”–in 1965 on stage.

“He was making fun of me, but who cares?” says Noone. “It was Elvis!”

Even at this young age, Noone was living the quintessential rocker lifestyle.

“Although without the drugs bit,” he insists. “That was never my thing.”

But when asked about all of the other typical rock ‘n’ roll habits?

“Sure. We were 16, 17, and we could easily stay up all night, go on the rampage then be up the next morning to do interviews and go to gigs. It was a brilliant time.”

At 64, Noone is on the road again as part of Britain’s Solid Silver 60s Show. His fellow Hermits veterans will not be joining him, but other musical star of the era will–Brian Poole of The Tremeloes (“Do You Love Me” and “Twist And Shout”) and Brian Hyland (“Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”).

“You never get tired of the buzz of touring,’ says Noone, ‘and it’s good to know we can still pull an audience. People come up to me and sing all the old songs to my face, although I’m never really sure how to respond to that.”

Noone has lived in California since the 70’s and grew quickly to the healthy living style that characterizes the state.

“Not many people survived the debauchery of the sixties,” he says, “so I feel very lucky and try to look after myself. When I went to Mickie Most’s funeral nine years ago [Most was the band’s producer and a panelist on TV talent show New Faces], there weren’t many people left. It does make you stop and think.”

“I remember going to the house of one of the Moody Blues and it was considered this real den of iniquity,” he says. “None of the girls smoked dope, so I used to hang out with them. I was a fly on the wall.

“I did like to drink — I used to go out with Richard Harris and try to drink more than him,” Noone laughed.

“I used to love the Beatles and the Stones and I’d always want to hang out with them, even though they were about seven years older.

“We’d go to the Ad Lib club in London, and John Lennon would buy my drinks because he knew I was only 16 and I wouldn’t get drunk and try to beat someone up.”

Noone, who grew up in Manchester, has admitted that one of his major motivations for drinking was to fit in with the others, as he didn’t feel that “interesting.”

It was at the age of 19 that the musician decided to attend his first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with his father, also an avid drinker.

“I wouldn’t have classed myself as an alcoholic, but you have to be sensitive to people’s feelings and be able to do the job on stage, so after that I decided to cut down. I needed to do it for my own sake and haven’t touched a drop for about 16 years.

“I insist that my wife still drinks if she wants to — I wouldn’t stop other people around me doing it.”

The multi-talented entertainer has been married to his wife, Mirielle, for 43 years. They met when Noone was 20, while he was still spending time with various women.

“I think it was probably lust at first sight with Mireille,” he admits. “Then I found out how nice she was and it turned to love.

“She kept turning me down, but she was holidaying on Ibiza with her mum, so I rented the apartment next to them. Her mother liked me because I was respectful. I wore Mireille down.”

The couple married in 1968, had one daughter (Nicole), and Noone quit the band in 1971 at the age of 24.

“Even though all of us in the band were close in the beginning, by the end, we’d been together so long and wanted to do different things.”

His attempted solo career plateaued, and it was in the 80s that he took to a new stage, appearing in a Broadway production on “Pirates of Penzance” and as a host on the U.S. television music show “My Generation”.

Just a few years ago, he appeared as a mentor and voice coach on American Idol.

Speaking on the show, he said, “If the Beatles had entered a TV competition, they’d probably have lost. Simon Cowell seems like a very nice guy, but I think he’s a secondhand Mickie Most to be honest.”

Speaking on the current tour again, Noone explained, “‘I was probably going to be a clerk at the local NatWest. How lucky am I to still be doing this at 64? I know what I’m doing now, too. I’m not that shy little kid any more.”

Peter is still so charismatic and cute no matter what age!

At 75, he’s ooking absolutely FANTASTIC and still has a great voice.

Patricia Richardson, a.k.a. mom Jill Taylor from “Home Improvement,” showed off her long gray hair at her twin daughter’s wedding!

The actress revealed why she rejected $30 million and became a single mom.

Patricia opened up about her regrets about the past and showed photos of her cute children and grandchildren.

With a number one show to her name, Patricia Richardson is a Hollywood name that many people are highly familiar with. Starring as Jill Taylor, the mother of a busy family in the hit sitcom “Home Improvement,” she has spent years on the TV show’s set, bringing her character to life and being the antithesis of her co-star Tim Allen.

Now, the actress is 72 years old and proudly showed off her gray locks at her daughter’s wedding. Richardson looked radiant, posting a slew of photos to Twitter after the ceremony where her family had spent some time together celebrating.

Richardson posted several snapshots of the big day, showing her children and other members of the family gathered to celebrate her daughter, Roxanne Baker’s wedding. The images showed Richardson holding a baby and planting a kiss on the little one’s forehead. There were also snaps of her kids sharing a moment.

While she worked on “Home Improvement” for eight years, Richardson also tried to balance family life.

The actress captioned the images by writing about how the family had to wait through three years of the COVID-19 pandemic and her daughter’s indecision about venues to have the wedding. Finally, they found the perfect site for the ceremony in the mountains of Ojai, where they spent a weekend celebrating the happy new couple.

Besides her daughter, Richardson also has two sons. Roxanne has a twin brother, Joseph Castle Baker, who works as a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. Joe has made numerous comedy skits, including one about him coming out as gay to his parents. The twins have an older brother, Henry Baker, who is also married.

In the past, Richardson has been open about the choices she has made in life and the things she would regret when she eventually looked back on her life. Many would think the actress regretted her choice to stop working on “Home Improvement,” turning down a massive contract. She opened up about why she stepped down.

Why Did Patricia Richardson Reject Millions?
Although “Home Improvement” made her career a success, the show also took its toll on Richardson’s personal life. She has been open about her marital struggles, saying she initially never trusted herself to be married. Nonetheless, she tied the knot with Ray Baker, and the pair shared many happy years.

These days, Richardson is still a devoted mother and grandmother.

While she worked on “Home Improvement” for eight years, Richardson also tried to balance family life. She had three children to raise, a husband who wanted her to be home more, and parents to take care of. For a while, the actress was the only caretaker for her parents, who had increasingly bad health.

Nonetheless, she kept working for close to a decade. During the course of her career, she also faced a divorce from her long-time husband. Although Baker encouraged her to work on “Home Improvement” at first, the show started taking up all her time, and after a while, the pair couldn’t work out their differences.

Richardson recalled how she would often turn down doing charity events because she never had time to spend with her children. Eventually, Baker filed for divorce, making Richardson a single mother. After the separation, she realized she was the only one around to look after her kids, so she had to make a choice.

Besides being an actress on the show, Richardson also wrote. The actress helped the show’s creators make her character seem as real and relatable as possible. But she couldn’t keep working so many hours and be a good mom to her children, so she made the difficult choice to step down from the show.

Richardson refused to work on “Home Improvement’s” ninth year, turning down a $30 million deal in the process. She also turned down another project that won 30 Emmys. Despite this, the actress is glad she chose her family over her career, recalling, “I was away from them more than I wanted and felt I missed so many things.”

Does Patricia Richardson Have Any Regrets?
Giving up a role like the one she had would leave many people looking back and wondering how their life would have been had they decided to accept the offer. Although Richardson does think back about some of the things she missed out on because she chose her family over her career, the actress believes she made the best choice.

She opened up about the time before she decided to quit “Home Improvement,” recalling how she had to take care of her mother and father, who were seriously ill in their last few years. With her sister’s help, Richardson took care of her parents while working on “West Wing,” and by the time she finished, they had both passed away.

Getting through “Home Improvement” proved challenging even though she enjoyed it. Richardson is proud of the fact that she worked hard to make a success of her career, but she’s glad to have stepped down when she did. The actress also noted that she had been away from her kids for so long that she had to work on her parenting skills again.

These days, Richardson is still a devoted mother and grandmother. She often shares snapshots of herself with her family. On May 7, 2023, she shared an image of her with her grandchild. In the caption, she wrote, “Happy Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers and grandmothers today!”

Although Richardson gave up her role in “Home Improvement,” she’s living a happy life as a grandmother. She shared an image of her grandson and granddaughter playing in their yard, showing the young boy putting his arms around her granddaughter in a playful gesture. The proud granny wrote, “Grandson learning about unwelcome hugging.”

One teenage girl removed the wallpapers of her room claiming that she would change it as she liked! 🤭🫣 She didn’t listen to others and soon showed the final result which you can see in this article! 🧐👇

Today’s story is about 14-year-old Julie from Great Britain who clearly realized that her room urgently needs renovation. She soon got started and removed all the wallpapers. Julie decided to make the design according to her style.

For the job, Julie took a few cans of paint, a spatula and masking tape and that is all. She “conjured” the cleaned wall for two days, filming everything on camera and constantly sharing the progress with her followers.

According to the girl’s plans, geometric shapes of different sizes and colors appeared on the wall. In order to make their edges look neat and even, she used the masking tape.

Julie posted a photo of her original design to the DIY On a Budget Official group, where everyone highly praised her. The girl’s mother was truly surprised and delighted by the final result of transforming the room.

Some of the subscribers praised Julie, some didn’t even mind hiring a young designer to create a design for their home, and some were jealous of the girl whose parents reacted so calmly to what was happening.

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter looks unrecognizable in her mom’s jewelry!

Larry Birkhead took his daughter to a small town to give her a normal childhood after eye surgery.

“It’s tough for her to visit the grave,” Birkhead confessed about life as a single parent.

Actress Anna Nicole Smith and her former flame, photographer Larry Birkhead, briefly met in 2003 in his home state during the Kentucky Derby. However, the pair only bonded privately a year later, in 2004.

Birkhead candidly discussed their relationship several years later during a 2020 interview, sharing he and Smith kept their romance under wraps.

He said he could not utter a word about their relationship because no one knew about it except for them. Moreover, there were hardly photos or videos of the lovebirds suggesting they were an item. Birkhead explained:

“She was supposed to be this kind of available sex goddess. That was her persona that she was supposed to be available and the object of everyone’s desire. It worked against me in so many ways.”

Two years into their relationship, Birkhead and Smith welcomed their only child together, daughter Dannielynn Birkhead on September 7, 2006. Sadly, five months after her arrival, her mother died from a drug overdose on February 8, 2007, at age 39.

In addition, Smith’s eldest child, son Daniel, whom she welcomed with her first husband, Billy Wayne, had also passed away due to an accidental drug overdose at age 20. It was only three days after his half-sister’s birth.

A year after Smith’s death, her then-one-year-old daughter was said to be undergoing corrective eye surgery. She had been diagnosed with strabismus (better known as a lazy eye), and her dad revealed:

“She’s meeting all of her milestones and exceeding them, and she’s getting ready to have surgery.”

Birkhead disclosed his child’s health issue in January 2008 and admitted to being nervous about her having the procedure. He stated the experience of losing Smith, her son, and his father, who had undergone an operation and had lost his life, and her daughter’s health issues, was too much for him to bear.

As for what made the Kentucky native have a change of heart, Birkhead divulged, “A lot of parents gave me a lot of support and a lot of encouraging words and gave me the strength.” Still, he believed Dannielyn was “in the best doctors’ hands.”

After Smith passed, Birkhead intentionally decided to raise their daughter away from the limelight since she was an infant. He and Dannielynn spent much of her childhood in a small Kentucky town.

Smith’s Daughter Prompted Comments about Her Look in Mom’s Jewelry
Meanwhile, Birkhead has continued to honor Smith’s memory by attending the Kentucky Derby yearly and creating tradition with their daughter, who usually accompanies him to the historic annual event. He said in a May 2022 interview:

“We had a great time, and it’s kind of been a tradition that we would go every year.”

The father of one also revealed Dannielynn had frequently been getting offers to star in films and TV shows, but the youngster is “not interested in” living her life on camera yet.

Birkhead stated that if the day comes when his child wants to pursue a career in showbiz and if she desires it, then he would fully support her. He argued that at this present time, she is in 10th grade and is doing well at school, adding her focus is being an ordinary child, which is fine.

When the father-daughter duo attended the 149th Kentucky Derby in May 2023, Dannielynn pulled out all the stops, donning a Leo Lin sunflower print gown. The teenager paid tribute to her late mom through jewelry, accessorizing her look with a crystal necklace and bracelet from Smith’s collection.

Dannielynn, whose father color-coordinated with her outfit in a light blue suit, paired with a yellow tie and sunflower lapel pin, walked the red carpet at Churchhill Downs alongside him.

This was not the first time Dannielyn honored her mother through her style. When she attended the 34th Annual Barnstable Brown Gala, she wore a black and white top with a print featuring pictures from Smith’s 1992 GUESS campaign. She also wore pieces from her mother’s jewelry.

As for her recent appearance at the Kentucky Derby, social media users were stunned by the 16-year-old’s outfit choice. One wrote, “She looks so much like her mom, just pure perfection. Beautiful.” Another user lauded Birkead for his role in her life: “My lord, she is beautiful like her mom!! Identical! Thank you, dad, for being there for her always! You rock.”

A third user shared the same sentiments, “[…] You’re doing an amazing job with her, Larry! You all look great!” While the fourth user stated, “Larry, I am so proud of you and your beautiful daughter! You have done an excellent job raising her right. Blessings to you both.”

“It’s Tough for Her to Visit the Grave:” Larry on Life as a Single Parent
Nine years after Smith’s death, Birkhead appeared on “The Steve Harvey Show” and spoke openly about being a single parent. He noted that while it required effort to raise his child, there were upsides.

He described their daily life as an “adventure” and admitted he struggled to be a single dad, wishing he had someone else helping him out. Dannielynn was only nine years old then, and her dad would help her choose her clothes in addition to helping her with homework.

Birkhead admitted it was difficult bringing up his child without her mother because he always had to make sure he was on track and kept up with things a mom would usually do. He further explained:

“There were days on the playground where she would say that she wants her mom back. It’s tough for her to visit the grave.”

On the fifteenth anniversary of Smith’s death, her former boyfriend penned an emotional tribute for her on social media. He posted a throwback black and white photo of the couple and wrote he was “remembering” her over a decade after her untimely passing.

“She was truly one of a kind. She struggled for love and acceptance. Just when she found a little piece of one or the other, life seemed sabotaged,” he stated, adding the late model was beautiful “both inside and out.”

In a September 2016 interview, nearly ten years after the television personality’s passing, Birkhead revealed there had been constant reminders about Smith that made him emotional now and then. He said, “There’s things left unanswered, things that I didn’t get to say to her.” He added when he fills out forms at his daughter’s school, it always pains him to state that her mom is no more.

“There’s days that if I stop and think about it, and you ask me about it, you will see a tear, but every other minute of the day, you will see a smile. That’s just how it goes,” he expressed.

Despite Smith’s tragic death and challenging emotions, Birkhead remains positive for his daughter’s sake.

Rejecting the pageantry that follows Ben Affleck and his new wife Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner has been quietly dating a man, out of the celebrity spotlight.

According to a source, the 51-year-old Garner has been in an on and off again relationship with businessman John Miller, who like her, is happy being “an under-the-radar kind of couple.”

Keep reading to learn more about the man who captured the heart of the dimpled star!

When Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck divorced in 2018, fans weren’t too surprised to hear he was back in a relationship with “Jenny from the Block.”

While the public closely followed the re-coupling of Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, including a happy marriage and J.Lo’s new single “Can’t Get Enough,” which was written for Affleck, little is known about Garner’s new beau, John Miller.

According to reports, Garner and Miller had been dating six months before her 2018 divorce to Affleck was finalized.

The former Hollywood power couple split in 2015 and since, they continue to co-parent their three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14 and Samuel, 10.

Who is this mystery man?
Born in 1978, Miller is an attorney and a businessman who works as the CEO of the fast food chain, CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup. Previously, he worked at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals as the VP of intellectual property.

Miller, who was married to American violinist Caroline Campbell from 2005 to 2014, finalized his divorce about one month after the beautiful Garner became a single woman. With Campbell, he shares a daughter, also named Violet and a son, Quest.

Not wanting to put their relationship on blast, the couple, who have been dating five years now, chose to step away from the spotlight that tends to trail a star like Garner.

“She loves how little he cares for the limelight or the whole Hollywood scenester stuff…Very different from Ben and J.Lo’s relationship in that way,” a source told Us Weekly. “You’ll never see them ham it up for the cameras or fixate about what events to attend together, it’s just not their style.”

The unnamed person adds, “They’re happier being a regular, under-the-radar couple and don’t need anyone else’s validation to know they’re meant to be together. That’s not to say they’re taking digs against others, it’s just not them.”

Going slow
After a brief split between August 2020 to the spring of 2021, Miller and Garner have been going strong.

“He was ready for marriage, and she just couldn’t commit,” a source said at the time.

Gushing over the couple, friends say the star of Elektra and Miller share a mutually beneficial relationship, where they bring out the best in each other.

A source said, “John is so smitten and caring, but not in an overbearing way…He gives Jen space when she needs it but he’s there for her when the chips are down or she’s in the mood for something spontaneous. They’ve enjoyed some wonderful getaways together…that’s one of their big things.”

Staying low
In July 2022, the public was curious about Garner’s reaction to her ex-husband marrying Lopez.

Easing the minds of fans, Garner and Miller were captured together several times by paparazzi, beaming with happiness in each other’s company, seemingly unbothered by the star of Good Will Hunting eloping in Las Vegas.

And, in January 2023, Entertainment Tonight published a story along with images of Affleck, “happily chatting with John.”

The media outlet writes, “Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are proving that exes can get along just fine! Jennifer and her boyfriend John Miller arrived at their house where Ben was seen happily chatting with John. The private couple were then spotted were also spotted in Santa Barbara, shopping in Montecito’s Village.”

Going with ‘the flow’
Slowly becoming more comfortable with sharing their relationship with the public, the gorgeous couple is seen more frequently, expressing their adoration with smooches, hand holding or out on an early morning jog.

“Jen’s not nearly as shy as she once was with John because they’re a lot more comfortable and secure with each other,” a source said. “She’s proud to show him off.”

In November 2023, another insider spoke with Us Weekly and explained that Garner and Miller are “in a great place.” The source said, “They used to go out of their way to keep a low profile, but they’ve both become very secure with their relationship and how it’s all worked out.”

On her 50th birthday, the couple hit a huge milestone when they brought their children, and families, together for a food drive.

But they’re not yet ready to become a blended family.

According to friends, the subject of marriage between Garner and Miller is open, but there’s no rush. For now, she’s “perfectly happy cherishing and enjoying what they have…without a formal label.”

The person adds that the star of 13 Going on 30 has been setting the pace and Miller is happy to “go with the flow.”

“Jen and John have a really special relationship,” another insider added. “After having so much of her [marriage with Affleck] in the spotlight, she really enjoys being with someone who isn’t a celebrity.”

It’s great to hear that Jennifer Garner has found love again and we really look forward to watching their relationship grow.

Cameron Diaz, 51, and Benji Madden, 45, have welcomed a new addition, growing their family to four!

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden have welcomed a new bundle of joy to their family. The couple shared their elation, stating, “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our son, Cardinal Madden❤️.”

The announcement was accompanied by an artistic image that speaks volumes. The snapshot’s phrase “A little bird whispered to me” seems to be a creative nod to their son’s unique name, ‘Cardinal,’ which refers to a vibrant red North American bird.

In an affectionate note to their fans, the parents expressed their contentment and assured fans of their son’s charm: “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!” They emphasized their intention to protect their child’s privacy, “For the kid’s safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures.”

Gratitude and love are the central themes of their message as they conclude with heartfelt thanks. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful,” they said, reaching out to their community, “Sending much love from our fam to yours ✨ Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”

Diaz is also a devoted and loving mother to her little daughter, Raddix, whom she shares with her doting spouse and musician. The couple have been married since 2015.

In 2019, the lovebirds became first-time parents when they welcomed Raddix on December 30. As parents who prefer to remain private where matters to do with their child are concerned, when Diaz and Madden announced Raddix’s birth, they did not post a photo of her and explained that they did so to protect and prioritize their baby’s privacy.

In 2022, when asked what she enjoys most about motherhood, Diaz answered: “I think just being able to, you know, have influence on a child that’s developing, you know? All mothers have that moment where you’re watching your child, and they’re doing something the first time, and you’re like, ‘I remember doing that!’ It’s really cool!”

Motherhood appears to be a dream come true for Diaz. Far from following the narrative of being the exhausted first-time mother, the movie star confirmed that motherhood is the best experience she has embarked on.

As we previously reported in November 2023, the doting mama bear was seen with her beau and their little girl in a rare family outing. The family enjoyed some time in Montecito and opted for casual wear.

Madden was seen rocking a black hoodie, baseball cap, and loosely fitted pants, while his wife opted for a slightly more chic-causal style with a black button-down shirt, black pants, glasses, green Birkenstocks, and a bag to the value of $1,490. Little Raddix wore a one-piece white outfit and Spiderman sneakers.

Pictures from the day show moments where Diaz held onto her daughter, who was wrangling in her arms after having just kicked off one of her shoes. Reports also stated that Raddix appeared to be full of energy and was seen running around at one point.
