Angelina Jolie and her daughter Shiloh were spotted in New York recently.

Shiloh, who is known to be experimental with fashion, was sporting a buzz-cut.

The 17-year-old is said to have the same interests as her father, Brad Pitt, which has helped them build a close relationship.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were one of Hollywood’s most loved couples. And despite things not working out between the two A-list actors, they built a big family together.

The couple adopted three children, Maddox, Zahara, and Pax, and had three biological children, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.

Before welcoming the twins, Jolie reportedly said that Shiloh was the odd one out. In fact, the mother of six said her daughter’s resemblance to her father almost made her an “outcast” because of her bright blond hair and blue eyes.

Jolie admitted that she would have been fine without biological children, but when she saw Pitt’s strong bond with their three adopted children, she realized their child together would not pose any threats.

“The Tourist” star added that she shared a strong connection with Maddox, Pax, and Zahara because of the tough life they had before they were hers, so her daughter would not only be different in terms of looks but she would also be born into a more advantaged environment.

“Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born,” expressed Jolie. But she also understood that she needed to be aware of all her children’s needs no matter how different they were.

Shiloh might have been an outcast from birth, but she grew up very expressive and experimental with her looks. A close source said Shiloh was into pirate outfits and temporary tattoos at five years old. Then one time, when she was out with her mother visiting Ozzie and Dots in Los Angeles, she wore a clown costume that she reportedly wanted to wear out of the store, but Jolie said no.

Shiloh seemed to take all of her interests very seriously. Pitt revealed that once his daughter wanted to be called John from “Peter Pan.” And while this was okay to Pitt and his then-wife, “It’s just that kind of stuff that’s cute to parents, and it’s probably really obnoxious to other people,” Pitt said.

In a 2010 interview with Vanity Fair, Jolie said her daughter liked the “Montenegro style,” meaning she liked wearing full suits with a tie, slacks and a jacket, or tracksuits. “She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.” added Jolie.

Despite how unusual Shiloh’s style maybe be to others, her parents are proud of her for being free to express herself.

Shiloh Stuns Fans and Wears a Dress on the Red Carpet
When Shiloh turned 14, her father reportedly expressed how proud he was of his daughter for always being true to herself and how good she was with her siblings, not to mention the close relationship she shares with her parents.

Speaking of expressing herself authentically, Shiloh surprised many people when she showed up to a red-carpet event with her family, wearing a dress for the first time.

The then-15-year-old had built her signature look around suits, so when she wore a dress, it caught the attention of many.

Shiloh showed up wearing a tan silk dress with thin straps and paired the outfit with white flats and gold anklets. She tied her hair into a ponytail and wore minimal makeup.

Shiloh is now 17 years old and has not stopped changing her look. She was recently spotted out with her mother and rocked new hair that had fans talking.

It seemed like it was just the mother and daughter in SoHo, as the rest of the Jolie-Pitt siblings were not seen with them. However, there was enough for fans to talk about.

Shiloh’s shaved head had a few fans wondering if the 17-year-old had an identity crisis. “Poor kid can’t decide,” remarked a commenter, while another thought she looked better with her long hair. “Why would she do that? She[’s] such a beautiful girl with gorgeous hair,” they said.

Some people blamed Shiloh’s ever-changing look on her mother. One Facebook user claimed that the children needed to be removed from their mother because Jolie had already put them through a lot. “None of those kids look like they have a guess to be anything. Look at her; she can’t even look healthy,” the user continued.

Another fan expressed confusion, pointing out that Shiloh had just been wearing dresses and makeup. Again, Jolie was blamed for her daughter’s new haircut, with a netizen writing, “Angelina must be stressing her out.

On the contrary, one fan thought Shiloh was being used as a PR stunt to improve Jolie’s image. But no matter how many disagree with the 17-year-old’s evolving style, her parents support her through her self-discovery journey.

Braid Pitt and Shiloh’s Close Relationship
Pitt is known to be a doting dad to all his six children, but he reportedly has the closest relationship with his daughter Shiloh.

One close source said the father and daughter share the same passions, which include playing music, watching movies and art, and spending time in his art studio being creative.

Even when the “Fight Club” star and Jolie went through a custody battle, Pitt still made time for his children privately. He reportedly preferred keeping his visits intimate and private to preserve his close relationship with his children, particularly with Shiloh.

The father and daughter have a special relationship, and Pitt supports her passion for dance. One close source said, “Brad never puts pressure on Shiloh,” instead, he motivates her to go for anything she wants.

This open relationship Pitt shares with his daughter has blossomed into a beautiful connection. “She feels comfortable talking to her dad about anything.” revealed a source.

  • George and Amal Clooney deserted their English mansion.
  • The couple now spends time in their South of France home.
  • Their global property portfolio includes houses in Italy, England, New York, California, and more.

George and Amal Clooney, a power couple known for their luxurious lifestyle and homes across the globe, have recently made headlines with their urgent move.

The Clooneys, who have always been drawn to beautiful and historically significant properties, found themselves compelled to leave their dream family home in Berkshire, England.

George and Amal, who share two children, purchased the Grade II-listed mansion for $13 million in September 2014, only a few weeks after their Venetian wedding.

After a year and a half of extensive renovations, which reportedly cost the couple a total of over $25 million, they transformed the 17th-century mansion into a modern, luxurious family home.

George reportedly told the builders, “What Amal wants, Amal gets.” Nestled on a four-acre Thames island, the property, once imposing, was reimagined into a serene family haven, reflecting a blend of modern sophistication and romantic tranquility.

The no-expenses-spared renovation, led by a dedicated team of 20, resulted in a stunning transformation, featuring the staff quarters which include a professional kitchen, a bedroom, and an office. Amal Clooney and George also have a 12-seat private cinema in their home and a gym.

The 11,000 square foot Oxfordshire property also boasts a 60ft swimming pool, which has a shaded area, and a hot tub which are connected to the house via a walkway.

In addition, the outdoors features a garden that has pine trees, and an Astro-Turf tennis court. The lawn reportedly leads down to the river near the property where a boathouse is located.

The terrace offers the Hollywood couple some privacy as they have planted a ring of trees around the island’s perimeter, as they had foliage transported specially.

Despite these efforts, the mansion’s proximity to the Thames rendered it vulnerable to flooding, an issue that compelled an additional $60,000 investment in flood-proofing measures.

The award-winning actor and the human rights lawyer reportedly were unaware that their new home, only inches from the riverbank, was liable to flooding.

Despite the effort and expense, neighbors living in the same village as the couple recently revealed that the pair have not been seen much around their home for quite some time.

The reason behind their move became apparent when the duo’s back garden was flooded twice in just 13 months, a result of Britain’s torrential rain and one of the wettest Februarys on record.

Neighbors expressed their understanding of the Clooneys’ decision to relocate, citing the severe weather conditions that made the area difficult to live in. George and Amal reportedly could not even access their garden, which sits beneath four feet of water.

Helen Moore, a resident, mentioned that she used to see the Oscar Award-winning director on the grounds of his property often once he moved into the area but not anymore.

“You’d see him out and about in the village with Amal and the kids, but we haven’t seen them for several months,” she said, adding it is understandable especially because his house is the most affected by the flooding in the area.

“If I had a place in the South of France or anywhere else that’s a bit drier, I’d have also gone there. But that’s not an option for most of us,” Helen expressed.

Another neighbor, Wendy Boonaert, a South African native who has been residing in the UK for the last twenty years, stated, “You can’t fault this village and the surrounding area because it’s very beautiful. But the rain has not helped, it’s made life very difficult.”

Wendy further explained that the area could use some hot weather conditions currently while adding that several wealthy and famous people are living in the same neighborhood and that she hopes George and his family will eventually return. However, Wendy also noted that the movie star and his loved ones are probably better off in the South of France, where they are reportedly seeking refuge.

The Clooneys’ relocation is part of a larger pattern in their lives, as they own a magnificent global property portfolio. Apart from their home in England, the couple also owns houses in New York, California, and Italy. George and Amal retreat to their lakeside villa in Lake Como, Italy every summer along with their twins, son Alexander, and daughter Ella.

Adding to George and Amal’s list of properties is their breathtaking chateau in the South of France which they secretly purchased in August 2021.

Built in the 18th century, Domaine Le Canadel, an enchanting 425-acre Provence wine estate, reportedly cost the couple $8.3 million. The abode features a pool, tennis court, boules pitch, vast gardens, an ornamental lake, an olive grove, and a 25-acre vineyard.

The French estate is reportedly a 25-minute drive from another home known as Chateau Miraval, which was previously co-owned by former celebrity couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Despite their move, the Clooneys’ love for Europe remains strong. Their marriage began with a fairytale wedding in Venice, and they continue to vacation in Lake Como, where George has owned Villa Oleandra since 2002.

The 18th-century family home which boasts ornate detailing, has 25 rooms including a pizza room. On the exterior, it features a large garage, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a full gym.

The producer has hosted numerous stars and royals including Jennifer Aniston, Matt Damon, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at this Italian villa.

Before, there were reports that George Clooney had intentions to sell his Lake Como villa, but he rubbished the claims, emphasizing its impact on his life by stating it “changed his life in a very pleasant and unexpected way.”

The proud father of two purchased Villa Oleandra, located in Laglio, Northern Italy, from the Heinz family in the noughties. He reportedly bought it for $12 million and the estate is now worth $100 million.

A childless old woman reached her one-hundredth birthday alone, with no one to celebrate with. A boy shows up at her door and introduces himself as her great-grandson.

Ruby was reaching an incredible landmark birthday for any human being, and nobody cared. She was turning one hundred, but there was no one to celebrate the moment with her.

Ruby was alone, just as she’d been for most of her life. From the time she was eight years old, and her father had gone off to fight in the war, Ruby had shouldered an adult’s burden.

Her mother was a frail and distant woman, and her dad had taken Ruby aside. “I’m going to need you to be a big girl, Ruby,” he’d said seriously. “You’re going to have to be very responsible and look after momma, OK?”

“OK, daddy,” Ruby had answered, and that had been the end of her childhood. Ruby became the adult in the family and looked after her mother and her four younger siblings.

She couldn’t wait for daddy to come home, so she could be a kid again, but he never did. When Ruby was twelve, the family was informed that their father had died in combat.

Daddy was never coming home. Mom fell apart, screaming and crying so much that she frightened the other children dreadfully. A doctor had to come and give mom an injection, and then she was quiet and vague again.

When you least expect it, life sends you a blessing.

The pension mom got from the Government was very small, and she wasn’t able to work. Ruby gave up school and took a job at a nearby shop that sold fabric, threads, buttons, and ribbons — anything you’d need to make clothes in those hard times.

Ruby was bright and energetic, and she soon became an asset to the woman who owned the haberdashery, Mrs. Dorris. Mrs. Dorris was a war widow, just like mom, and she was kind to Ruby in her way.

She’d sometimes give Ruby off-cuts from the prettiest prints and bits of colorful ribbons so she could make herself little shift dresses. Ruby often used the fabric on her siblings, and on her mom.

Mom had become even more distant as she grew older. She drifted around the house in her nightgown, and Ruby had to watch, so she didn’t go outside like that.

Ruby was determined that her four sisters would finish school, and she refused to allow them to go to work to help out. “Focus on school,” she’d tell them sternly. “That’s the biggest help you can give us!”

Ruby turned eighteen, and no one noticed. There was no party, no presents, no birthday cake. Mrs. Dorris didn’t know or didn’t care — she was an unemotional kind of woman.

Mom was lost in her own world, and Ruby’s sisters, with the innate selfishness of children, didn’t even realize that Ruby, too, had birthdays.

That was the year Ruby met Brad. He was tall and slim, and he had a shy smile. He came to the shop to buy needles for his mom and stayed to talk to Ruby.

They started ‘stepping out,’ as people called it back then. They went out dancing and to the movies, and parked and kissed on Lover’s Lane. Then the kissing led to more.

When Ruby discovered she was pregnant, Brad told her he’d marry her, they’d have a pretty house and raise their children and be very happy. Then Ruby told him about mom and the girls.

“I have to look after them, Brad,” Ruby told him. “I promised my father. But in a few years, the girls will be finished with school, and it will be only mom.”

“Your crazy mother and your sisters are moving in with us?” Brad asked. “For the rest of our lives? Is that what you’re telling me?” After that, Brad was very quiet.

He agreed to meet the next day and make the arrangements for the wedding, but he didn’t kiss Ruby goodbye the way he usually did. Ruby never saw him again.

She learned that he’d volunteered for the new war in Asia that very afternoon. He’d left her all alone and pregnant. “What am I going to do?” she asked herself.

If she kept the baby, what kind of life could she give it? She had to work all the time to raise her sisters and look after her mother. She couldn’t leave the baby with mom while she worked; it just wasn’t safe.

Ruby pressed her hands to her tummy and wept. She’d have to give up her child. She’d give it up for adoption and know that he or she would be loved and cherished.

The moment when she gave up her newborn daughter was one of the hardest in Ruby’s life, but she knew she was doing it for the best reasons. “Be happy, my sweet girl,” she whispered. “I love you.”

That was more years ago than Ruby cared to remember, and the last time she’d felt young. After Brad, Ruby never looked at another man. She knew that whatever happened, they would never accept her burdens, and she couldn’t ask them to.

One by one, her sisters finished school and left home. They married and moved away, and Ruby was left to care for mom, as always. Ruby was seventy-three when her mom passed away.

That day Ruby wept, not just for her mother, but for the bitter waste of an entire life. She had nothing. No family, and since her retirement, few friends.

“I’ll just wait to die,” Ruby told herself. “It can’t be long now.” But it was. Ruby was a sturdy woman in the best of health, and pretty soon, she turned eighty, then ninety…

The years passed unmarked by any celebration. No one cared. Ruby sat in her little house and grew older and older. When she turned ninety-nine, a social worker showed up.

She wanted to see if Ruby was capable of living on her own. She looked around and was quite happy with her living conditions. She left without wishing Ruby a happy birthday.

“One hundred,” Ruby said to herself. “I’ve seen a century of this world’s history and lived none of it.” She was sitting in her kitchen and thinking about her life when the doorbell rang.

She got up and opened the door. There was a young man there, and he was holding a huge cake with a big 100 on top of it. “Hi Gran!” he cried cheerfully. “Happy birthday!”

Ruby’s chin dropped. “Young man, you have the wrong house…”

“No, I don’t,” he said gently. “You are my great-grandmother Ruby. My grandmother always wanted to know who her birth mother was, so when she turned 81, I had the records unsealed.

“No one imagined you were still alive! Gran’s outside, in the car, waiting to meet you — if you agree.”

“My daughter?” Ruby asked. “She’s…Does she want to meet me? I…I gave her up…I wanted her to be happy…”

“She knows that gran,” the young man said. “We also know you’ve been alone for a long time, but now you have a family: a daughter, five grandchildren, and fifteen great-grandchildren!”

Ruby started sobbing, and the young man put his arms around her. “It’s OK,” he said. “We’re here now, and you’re going to have quite a party!”

Ruby met her daughter, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, and it was the best day of her life. They lit the candles on the cake and sang ‘Happy Birthday.’ It was the most beautiful sound Ruby had ever heard.

“My life wasn’t a waste after all,” she whispered to her daughter. “I had you!”

What can we learn from this story?

  • Duty can be a terrible burden, but life always brings a reward. Ruby gave up everything, including her child, to keep her word to her father and look after her mother.
  • When you least expect it, life sends you a blessing. Ruby was alone until her 100th birthday, and she spent the rest of her life surrounded by family and love.

It’s a story as old as time that grandchildren and grandparents share a profound connection that’s genuinely heartwarming. But for the grandkids of the two world-famous artists from the 1950s, this also translated into an uncanny resemblance.

Bobby Darin was a musician, singer, and actor. He began his career as a songwriter and recorded his first single in 1958. After his stellar performance on the charts, he was prepared to try his luck on the silver screen.

He got his big shot in 1960 when he earned the role of a junior lead opposite Sandra Dee in the Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida film, “Come September.” While on location in Italy, Bobby immediately started to pursue Dee.

Interestingly, Bobby didn’t miss a single chance to confess his feelings for Dee. Their son, Dodd Mitchell Darin, revealed:

“He [Bobby] was standing on the shore wearing a yellow suit, and she [Sandra] was in a boat just pulling in to dock. ‘Will you marry me?’ He called out to her. ‘Not today,’ she replied.”

Dee wasn’t impressed with her co-star’s tactics, and she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. She found his methods conniving and didn’t want anything to do with him, said Dodd.

But Bobby was determined to turn things around, and he resorted to juvenile tactics. Whenever he saw Dee, he shouted, “Sandra Dee has a flea.” Moreover, he also wooed Dee’s gorgeous young mother, Mary, with his charming demeanor.

Fortunately, his methods worked, and Mary finally convinced Dee to accompany Bobby on a carriage ride. The fateful meeting enabled Bobby to voice his feelings openly. Regarding the lovely evening, Dodd mentioned:

“Bobby told her he acted as he did because he was scared. He was out of his element. He wasn’t the main attraction. He was falling in love with her and was at a loss how to get her to pay attention to him.”

Soon afterward, the two became a thing, laughing and flirting all across Rome. The couple eloped on December 1, 1960, much to the annoyance of everyone, including Dee’s mom. But Dee’s initial thoughts about Bobby had finally changed. She told Dodd:

“I do remember my thoughts that first morning when I woke up in bed with my husband. I thought I had never felt so safe in my life as I felt with Bobby.”

By 1963, things drastically changed for the couple, and their juvenile antics caught up with them. Bobby became convinced that his wife was having an affair with her “Tammy and the Doctor” co-star Peter Fonda, and he had a lackey tell her he wanted a divorce.

But Dodd stated that Dee denied the allegations and said she and Fonda were merely good co-workers. The couple’s separation was short-lived, and they reconciled soon afterward. In 1961, they welcomed their son, Dodd.

But things went awry again when in 1966, Bobby saw Dee conversing with Warren Beatty at a buffet at the home of Joan Collins and Anthony Newley. He immediately had their psychiatrist tell her he wanted a divorce. Sadly, this time, it was permanent.

The late 60s were cumbersome for the former lovers. Bobby became furious, bitter, and scared. He knew he wouldn’t live to be an older man as he developed sepsis and suffered from dementia. On his son’s twelfth birthday, he called to wish from the hospital.

Dodd recalled that his father sounded hysterical and unintelligible and sobbed as he confessed his love and apologized for his absence. A few days later, on December 19, 1973, Dodd was at his best friend John’s house when Bobby died at 37 after open-heart surgery.

Dee called Kay Gable, Clark Gable’s widow, and said she was coming to get Dodd. Kay, whose son John was born after his father’s demise, comforted Dee and told her to let Dodd have a good night’s sleep.

Despite their separation, Bobby’s death changed Dee most unusually, and Dodd witnessed his mom reeling from the irreparable loss. Dodd recounted:

“My mom never recovered from my dad’s passing. They were divorced and hadn’t been together for years but a lot of her died the day he died.”

When Bobby was posthumously inducted into “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” on January 17, 1990, Dodd accepted the award on his behalf. He also took the responsibility of overseeing his father’s music catalog and became in charge of marketing his parents’ names.

In 1993, Dodd tied the knot with the love of his life, Audrey Tannenbaum, the costume designer on NBC’s show “Mad About You.” The couple welcomed two girls, Olivia Darin and Alexa Rose Darin.

THE GRANDDAUGHTERS OF HOLLYWOOD’S DREAM COUPLE

Olivia and Alexa are the granddaughters of Hollywood’s dream couple, Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. Dodd’s eldest daughter, Alexa, is named after Dee, born “Alexandra Zuck.”

In an interview with DailyMail in 2014, the Darin sisters shared that they didn’t carry their grandpa’s singing gene, but they wanted to follow in their late grandma’s footsteps.

Alexa revealed that she loved writing and saw it as a form of self-expression and was interested in modeling and acting. Olivia agreed that she enjoyed modeling, dancing, and doing plays and had also taken acting lessons.

Both the sisters dabbled in modeling and already had a thing for the camera since they were young. Alexa divulged that she considered herself lucky to own her late grandma’s signature white sunglasses. Regarding her late grandfather, she stated:

“I’m a sucker for Grandpa’s song Dream Lover. And I think I look a lot like him. His strong, Italian features were definitely passed down to me and some say I was lucky enough to get my grandma’s eyes and lips.”

On the other hand, Olivia expressed that she has seen a few of her grandma’s movies, and “Gidget” was her favorite. She also admitted to listening to her grandfather’s music. Further, she added:

“I think I look like my grandma, but a brunette version of her. And I have a pair of her high heels. My mom has her charm bracelet and some of her jewelry.”

Alexa revealed that she was always learning more about her grandparents. Unfortunately, the Darin sisters never met Bobby, as he died when their father was only 12. However, they considered themselves lucky to spend a few years with Dee.

Alexa recalled that her grandma told her fascinating stories about how it felt to live in the public eye. Dodd also shared exciting stories about his father’s life with Alexa and Olivia. Regarding her grandparents, Alexa said:

“I think one of the most interesting facts about my grandparents is that when my grandfather died, he and Sandra were not married. After seeing them as a couple in countless photos, not to mention movies, it was hard for me to picture them apart.”

Deep down inside, Alexa and Olivia longed to sit down with their grandparents and ask them endless questions. Olivia stated that she would love to spend an entire day getting to know her grandpa and grandma, while Alexa yearned for an opportunity to meet her grandfather.

The oldest Darin sister said she was curious about her grandparents’ intriguing lifestyles and wanted to know them personally. Even though she had seen their pictures and heard stories about them, she still felt a strong urge to talk to them.

The sisters admitted they learned about grandpa from their father, who always told them stories and showed them videos. However, it wasn’t until Alexa turned 15 and Olivia was ten that the girls realized the magnitude of their grandparents’ fame and the many lives they touched.

Both girls planned to attend college and were inspired by their grandpa’s sheer strength and determination to strive and go in the direction of their heartfelt dreams and aspirations. Alexa graduated from college in 2018.

The Darin sisters are pretty close, and Olivia often shares candid and cuddly images with Alexa. For Alexa’s 24th birthday in July 2020, Olivia took to her Instagram and posted a beautiful collage with the birthday girl. The caption read:

“To my wiener dog loving, cocktail making, one of a kind GAL! you give the expression “built in best friend” a whole new meaning. i couldn’t love you more! to 24 years baby (sic).”

In addition to giving the netizens a glimpse into her life, Olivia has posted heartwarming images from yesteryear to honor her late grandparents. The pictures served as befitting tributes to legendary stars, Bobby and Dee, garnering sheer love from people far and wide.

One of the photos showed the dreamy couple in their full bloom, pictured with their only child and Olivia and Alexa’s father, Dodd. Another one captured the couple’s dazzling chemistry and undeniable attraction, vivid enough despite the black and white background.

When Cameron Diaz bid farewell to Hollywood, she not only left the industry but also shed the societal expectations surrounding her appearance – as many women, especially those in the public eye, often experience.

In an interview on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast on the BBC, the former actress revealed her current approach to beauty standards and skincare, saying she prefers a more carefree lifestyle.

Cameron expressed how leaving acting after marrying Benji Madden freed her from the confines of Hollywood allure.

The Charlie’s Angels star acknowledged that she had been a “victim of societal objectifications and exploitations” throughout her life, especially given that she has lived her life so publicly.

“I am absolutely a victim of all of the societal objectifications and exploitations that women are subjected to,” she shared, adding that she was able to recognize how she also played her own role in these standards.

At 51, Cameron explained that her beauty products are practically untouched on her shelves, gathering dust and expiring one by one – which only highlights how far she has departed from the rigorous beauty routines usually dictated by Hollywood.

“It’s hard not to. It’s hard not to look at yourself and judge yourself against other markers of beauty, and I think that that’s one of the biggest things. The last eight years, girl — I’m like wild. I’m like a wild animal. I’m a beast,” Cameron told Michelle, describing her current attitude towards beauty routines.

The mother-of-one has also taken a natural and laid-back approach to skincare, admitting that she doesn’t like to dwell on her appearance on a daily basis.

“I don’t care. Literally the last thing I think about on a daily basis, like maybe not at all during the day, is what I look like. No, no, I literally do nothing. I never wash my face,” she candidly shared with Michelle.

Occasionally, she reverts to old habits, applying different lotions and potions. Though, this doesn’t happen often, with The Holiday actress revealing it happens “twice a month if I’m lucky.” She then added: “I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I better put this on. One time works, right? Like, is that all I have to do?’ I’m just not in that place right now like where I put any energy.”

By choosing to get rid of the pressures of appearance, Cameron is able to channel her time and energy into more meaningful aspects of life, like raising her daughter, Raddix, who was born in January 2020.

Jane Seymour had some challenging life experiences before finding love with Joe Lando and her time on “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.” She was homeless for a while with a nine million dollars debt over her ex.

British-American actress Jane Seymour is one face “Dr. Quinn” fans would never forget. Years after the 1993 film, Seymour looked back at her time on his series in an interview.

But, before diving into details about her time on the show and its effect on her career, the actress first reminisced on some depressing events that led to her role on “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.”

SEYMOUR BEFORE AND DURING “DR. QUINN”

Apart from acting, Seymour is also an author and entrepreneur. She made her screen debut with an uncredited role on “Oh! What a Lovely War” in 1969 before her ascending into fame with lead roles in film and TV series including “The Onedin Line” and “Live and Let Die.”

In the ’90s, Seymour starred as Dr. Michaela “Mike” Quinn in the television series “Dr. Quinn” and her part on the series earned her a second Golden Globe Award. However years after the show ended, the actress sat in an interview where she gave details about her life before the show.

According to Seymour, her ex-husband at the time had squandered their money and left her with a nine million dollars debt. She was homeless, had no money, so she called her agent and explained that she was willing to take any job.

That was how she landed a role on “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.” She was offered a “little movie of the week” but had to sign a five-year contract in case the film became a series. She began working in less than 24 hours and Seymour noted:

“They saved my life. I got a roof over my head, I got some money so I could get back on my feet, and my kids could come out to the set and do their schoolwork in the trailer[…].”

Although the 1993 series was a blessing for Seymour, she had some awkward experiences on set. She first credited actor Joe Lando for his impact on the movie before advising viewers to never fall in love with the leading man in a pilot and then break up before the movie ended.

Seymour, now 72, and Lando are way past their differences but while “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman” aired they had a pretty awkward relationship after dating for a while and calling it quits before the show ended.

To make matters worse, the actress married James Keach, a regular director of the series. Seymour recalled Keach having to direct and watch her and Lando make out on set.

As the interview continued the actress revealed that she revisited the series with her grandchildren and she realized the program had relevant themes that still apply in the new age.

Once during an interview at the Creative Arts Emmys Night 2, Seymour, 72, explained that she and co-star Lando didn’t talk to each other for years while filming “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” and it was a difficult time.

The author noted that while she and Lando appeared as the perfect couple on screen, there was certain friction between them and they were dealing with break-up awkwardness offscreen. She also recalled how her relationship with Lando started off.

The “Live and Let Die” actress remembered a flash flood on set that kept moving her car backward and she couldn’t get out of the vehicle because the driver was an intern who didn’t want her stepping out. But Seymour jumped out and found herself in Lando’s truck, and that was how their chemistry began.

Seymour, who now sees Lando as her “closest friend on the planet” has been married four times. She and movie director Keach finalized their divorce in 2015. Lando on the other hand has been married to Kirsten Barlow since 1997.

The “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman” lovebirds brought back sweet memories when they posed in a photo that featured them like old times on social media. The co-stars looked older but as adorable as ever.

In the photo posted by The “Somewhere in Time” actress, Lando sported a maroon T-shirt and a blue jacket while Seymour rocked a floral dress. “Dr. Quinn” fans couldn’t get over the post which came with a caption:

“Summers with Sully!”

Seymour is a successful movie star but her love affairs haven’t been all rosy. Speaking in a recent interview, the entrepreneur, mother, and grandma revealed that she has learned a lot from her past relationships and failed marriages.

Seymour explained that what’s best after a broken relationship is to “let go” and find a way to communicate especially when co-parenting. The actress also noted that the only fault she had in her relationships was being with people who wanted someone who didn’t work and was always available.

For someone who had a career and was providing for the family, it was hard being available every hour of the day. Seymour laughed as she said going to work was the only thing she did wrong.

The movie star and her ex-husband Keach welcomed a set of twins Kristopher and John before their relationship went down the drain. She was initially married to David Flynn, with whom she had a son, Sean, and daughter Katherine.

Even with a demanding career, Seymour revealed that she tried creating time for her kids. They traveled with her whenever she was working and she managed to maintain a balance.

However, the 72-year-old actress noted that she was involved with men who had “different issues.” Seymour smiled as she revealed that she never ended her marriage but the men walked away after finding other people.

Flying is not a pleasant experience for everyone. Some people make sure that before they set off on their trip, they take measures to ensure their comfort. But not everyone is mindful of the same thing.

This woman knew what she required when traveling and did exactly that. However, there were others who did not see it that way…

A woman found herself in a very uncomfortable position both literally and figuratively. She was torn between prioritizing her own comfort over societal expectations. She was faced with a decision; she could either be generous or stand up for her personal space.

She was headed across the country to spend Christmas with her family. She knew when she flew, she needed to be comfortable. Considering her size, she always books an extra seat on a flight. She makes sure to pay extra to ensure her comfort.

Everything went smoothly during the check-in, and she flew by through security and boarding. It was only when she was sitting in her seat that the unpleasant experience began. A woman with her 18-month-old child was sitting next to her. She saw that there was one seat empty and promptly requested that the woman squeeze herself onto one seat so that her toddler could occupy the other one. But seeing as the original occupant had paid for both seats, she refused.

The interaction was gaining attention, and a flight attendant noticed and came by to see what was going on. When the situation was explained to the flight attendant, she asked the woman on whether she could make room for the child, but she politely declined and asserted one again that she had paid in full for both seats.

The flight attendant thankfully understood and instructed the mother to hold her child in her lap as most children that age usually do. But, throughout the journey, the mother made sure to make the woman uncomfortable with dirty looks and passive-aggressive remarks.

Later, the woman wondered whether she had been unfair in this interaction and should have relented and given up her extra seat. She took to Reddit to ask the community on whether she had been wrong.

One person, who was a mother herself and had been in a similar situation wrote, “I’ve taken 9-hour flights with an infant in my arms and shorter flights with a toddler in my lap, who was capable of sitting in his own seat and very much did not want me to hold him. Did it suck? Yes. But it was my problem alone, and as long as my child was under 24 months and I didn’t have to pay for his seat, I chose to hold him. I swear, not all of us parents are this entitled!”

Another person added, “She’s wrong for not buying a seat for her son and assuming someone else would give up a seat they paid for. Odds are she was hoping there’d be extra seats on the flight so she didn’t have to pay and used the lap thing as a loophole.”

“I’d go so far as making a complaint to the airline about their employee supporting another passenger harassing you,” another outraged Redditor wrote.

Another annoyed user said, “You should always do what you can to be as healthy as you can, but being fat isn’t a character flaw or a moral failing. We all have our own challenges in life, and you deserve not to be ashamed of your body and yourself, even if you aren’t currently meeting your goals. If the mom wants an extra seat for her kids, she should have purchased one. She’s not entitled to a seat you purchased, and you don’t need to feel bad for her bad behavior.”

While, some people could also perhaps see the mother’s side in wanting to have a comfortable flight as well. However, had that been important for her, she would have made sure to prioritize getting a seat for her child.

John Legend may be one of the best singers of his generation. The singer is beloved by millions of people around the world. Be that as it may, his nearest neighbors might be his greatest allies.

Continue reading to find out more about the singer’s home life and how he sometimes feels embarrassed about his children!

John Legend, a musician, recently made an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, where he talked about some fun things he’s done with his kids that make him feel bad.

Chrissy Teigen, the musician’s wife, is the mother of his three children. Miles, his son, was born in 2018, and Luna, his daughter, in 2016. Esti, the couple’s third kid, was conceived a couple of months prior. The tragic loss of the previous pregnancy was an open topic of conversation between the couple. Following that, Esti was taken.

Legend uncovered that when he sends his children off to school in the first part of the day, they request their dad’s music to be played. ” They do, particularly my child,” the artist commented. ” He resembles Downpour Man in regards to melody lengths and knows all of my tunes.” According to he, “Really, ‘Green Light’ is somewhat longer than this one. It’s 3:19,” referring to the length of each song.

When it comes to dropping off his children at school, the musician said that it makes him feel awkward to play loud music. Beyonce and Jay-Z, two other famous children, have children who go to the same school as him. It’s embarrassing that I’m pulling up and playing loud music, the singer continued. At least from what I can tell, [JAY-Z] isn’t singing “Reasonable Doubt” to his kids in the car.

As of late, the couple uncovered the name of their girl. ” Teigen made a remark, “We were on vacation.” I continued to see the word Este as I gazed toward the lodging where we were getting hitched in Italy, and I thought, “I love the name Este,” Teigen recollected.

However, they now have a connection to their family. Teigen stated, “John learned that it was his great-grandmother’s name after we named her Esti.” I suppose Esther was the original name before it was changed to Esti.

What a lovely family these five people form! We adore John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, and their children! To make others smile too, recount to them about this wonderful story!
