How many of you have seen “The Partridge Family?” If you were a fan, you were most likely fascinated by the beauty of Laurie Partridge, played by actress Susan Dey.
Susan had no acting experience when she was offered the role in the ABC series that lasted four years, from 1970 to 1974, but casting her was the perfect thing to do because she was tremendously gifted and felt like she’d been in front of the camera many times before.
Many people were captivated by the travels of the singing family, who moved from place to place to perform in a restored psychedelic school bus. After it was completed in the United States, it became a significant hit in the United Kingdom, and the cast became extremely popular.
Susan’s coworker, David Cassidy, who played Keith in the show, immediately became a teen idolized by many girls. Susan was one of those women who was obsessed with him. She had a long-standing crush on him, but the two only began dating after the show ended.
Their romance didn’t last long, and they remained excellent friends until David wrote his book, C’mon, Get Happy: Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus, in which he discussed his relationship with Susan in detail. Among the others, he stated that he ended his relationship with her because she was too naive for him.
Susan was enraged by this. She vowed never to talk to him again, even refusing to attend a cast reunion years later.
Susan has been in numerous films and television shows since “The Partridge Family” she has even written a book titled Susan Dey’s Secrets on Boys, Beauty, and Popularity.
She received six Golden Globe and three Emmy nominations before winning a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance as Grace Van Owen in “LA Law.”
According to Worldation.com, Susan turned down the role of Sandy in Grease, and Olivia Newton-John, who played Sandy, was given the role of Laurie in “The Partridge Family,” but her management urged her not to take it.
Susan lives a tranquil life in New York with her husband and their family, where she grew up. She’s no longer in the spotlight, but she’ll always be remembered as someone who made our adolescence memorable. No matter how much time passes, no one ever forgets a show like “The Partridge Family.”
As with the rest of the Royal Family, Camilla, Queen Consort, has many hobbies in her life that she’s passionate about. After Queen Elizabeth’s passing, she became responsible for the royal stables, and reportedly always finds peace in her Highgrove House garden.
However, with Camilla approaching 76, one of her favorite hobbies is now sadly beyond her capabilities. The Queen Consort’s love for horses will never fade away, but she’s reportedly ridden on one for the last time.
The coronation of King Charles and Camilla is now just about a month away. Preparations for the big day have been ongoing for months, and weeks ago, plans for the historic event were leaked. They included details about the roles Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will play, as well as various other aspects of the day’s schedule.
Naturally, exactly how the Coronation will unfold remains to be seen.
There’s been plenty of discussion regarding whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be in attendance or not, while speculation regarding Camilla’s outfit – her crown in particular – has also been a hot topic.
In February, Buckingham Palace announced that Camilla would be crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown on May 6. It is set with 2,200 diamonds and was worn by Queen Mary for the coronation alongside her husband, King George V, in 1911.
The crown will be altered for the upcoming coronation and is set to honor the late Queen Elizabeth – the headpiece will be replaced with diamonds Cullinan III, IV, and V, all from the late monarch’s personal jewelry collection. Queen Elizabeth often wore them as brooches, as reported by People.
In the past, a new crown was commissioned anytime a Queen Consort was to be crowned. In fact, this will be the first time in recent history that an existing crown will be used, with the Palace stating it is “in the interests of sustainability and efficiency.”
Camilla’s coronation crown
It was previously suggested that Camilla might wear the Koh-i Nûr diamond, one of the largest cut diamonds in the world, in her crown. The Queen mother’s crown for her 1937 coronation featured the diamond.
The diamond came into British possession in 1849 when the East India Company took it from a 10-year-old boy named Maharaja Duleep Singh, a ruler of the Sikh Empire. It was surrendered to Queen Victoria as a part of their peace treaty. However, historians have suggested that the diamond is only a symbol of conquest, and India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan have claimed ownership of it.
“The coronation of Camilla and the use of the crown jewel Koh-i-Nûr brings back painful memories of the colonial past,” a source from the Bharatiya Janata Party in India told The Telegraph last year.
“Most Indians have very little memory of the oppressive past. Five to six generations of Indians suffered under multiple foreign rules for over five centuries. The coronation of the new Queen Camilla and the use of the Koh-i-Nûr do transport a few Indians back to the days of the British Empire in India,” the source added.
Just like King Charles, Camilla will also have a traditional scepter (the same one has been used by queen consorts for over 300 years).
The scepter is made of ivory, which may cause an issue in Camilla’s case. Prince William is among those to have campaigned at length about the ivory trade – the illegal hunting of elephants for their ivory tusks. Alongside his wife, Princess Kate, the Prince has a significant interest in preserving wildlife and has repeatedly demanded that the ivory trade be stopped.
Camilla could make “big mistake” if she rejects the queen consort sceptre at coronation
In 2016, Prince William – who is patron of the conservation charity Tusk – described ivory as a “symbol of destruction, not of luxury,” calling for a complete end to the trade.
“When I was born (1982), there were one million elephants roaming Africa. By the time my daughter Charlotte was born last year, the number of savanna elephants had crashed to just 350,000. At the current pace of illegal poaching, when Charlotte turns 25, the African elephant will be gone from the wild,” the Prince of Wales said.
“The threat to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife is damaging for the human population too. It is some of the world’s poorest people who will suffer when their natural resources are stripped from them illegally and brutally. It is families in the world’s most vulnerable regions who suffer when two rangers are killed every week on the front line of this fight,” he continued.
Royal expert Richard Eden, however, argues that it would be going “too far” to try and appease everyone.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Eden says the issue is an “interesting sign of the times” but that the royals can’t take responsibility for everything in its history. He claims Camilla is making a “big mistake” if she rejects the 330-year-old scepter at the coronation.
“Apparently [Camilla] is not going to have the Queen Consort sceptre, which has been used by every Queen Consort for more than 300 years at the Coronation of a King. Now the reason is because it’s made of ivory, but it’s particularly awkward because… Prince William has campaigned against the trade…in modern ivory…and the illegal killing of elephants. But it’s thought he’s not keen on using historical ivory either,” Eden wrote.
“I think it’s a mistake to go down this route because you will never satisfy these people. There’ll always be someone offended, and if they go down this route, you’re apologising from the start,” he continued, adding that the Royal Family should be free to acknowledge “the good and bad things of [their] past.”
Camilla hobbies
Besides her many royal duties, Camilla has hobbies outside of work, just like the rest of us. She’s been praised for her efforts with many charities, including animal welfare and literacy, and ever since she was young, she’s been very interested in reading and drawing.
Camilla has spoken of the importance of children’s books many times, and during the pandemic, the Queen Consort even set up her own book club on Instagram. Previously, she revealed that Black Beauty is one of her favorite books.
Just like her husband, Camilla also has a big passion for gardening. At their home of Highgrove House, the couple are keen on spending time in their big garden, where they not only take care of an impressive amount of flowers and plants but also grow their own food.
“I love the vegetable garden. I’m very proud of my white peaches. My husband is an excellent gardener, and we’re quite competitive about our fruit and vegetables,” Camilla told Vogue magazine last year.
During the pandemic, the garden became somewhat of an escape for King Charles and Camilla. The monarch previously revealed how Prince George has spent time with them on their Highgrove House estate and even planted a tree.
Speaking to BBC, Camilla said the gardens “got people through Covid.”
“It was a sort of spiritual experience for them, they discovered a sort of affinity with the soil – you can go into a garden, and you can completely lose yourself, you don’t have to think about anything else, you’re surrounded by nature, you’ve got birds singing, you’ve got bees buzzing about – there is something very healing about gardens,” she said.
Yet Camilla’s hobbies aren’t exclusively things to do with her home. She also has had a great passion for horses for many years, a passion she shared with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Passionate horse interest
The Queen was a renowned horse enthusiast and expert, owning several racehorses. As Camilla recalled, there was no point in questioning her on how horses were bred.
“You wouldn’t dare question her or argue with her on how horses are bred or how it ran because you’d get a very steely, blue-eyed look back again,” the newly anointed Queen Consort recalled, per the Daily Mail.
“She was able to escape to Sandringham, she had the stud next door. She could go every day, see her foals, work out, you know, the next meetings for the year. I think she always kept that as … her private bit.”
When Queen Elizabeth passed away, Camilla became the new owner of the late Queen’s racing horses. According to Metro, it is the first time a King and his Queen Consort both are registered owners.
Besides holding the reins of the late monarch’s horses, Camilla is also a patron of a riding school in south London. As the Duchess of Cornwall, she supported the Ebony Horse Club, the British Equestrian Federation, and the Brooke Hospital for Animals. She has always loved riding – but unfortunately, that period of her life is over for good.
Last week, King Charles and Camilla visited Germany on their first-ever historical trip abroad as King and Queen Consort. The royals visited several cities around the country, and were greeted by the public wherever they went.
Camilla says she’s “too old” to ride horses
When the three-day trip came to an end in Hamburg, Camilla met a group of schoolchildren. And as the Daily Mail revealed, the Queen Consort told them that she has had to give up her beloved horse riding hobby due to her age.
“I used to have horses I rode but sadly I don’t ride any longer. I think I’m too old, but I have racehorses,” she said, according to the news outlet.
Even though Camilla can’t go horseback riding anymore, that doesn’t mean she’s giving up her interest for good. Far from it. As the Daily Mail reported, Camilla kept in touch with her stables during the trip to Germany. She even watched a video of one of her horses giving birth!
“Last night, I watched on my screen one of the foals being born, which was very exciting,” Camilla said.
Liam Neeson was left to care for their two children after his wife passed away in 2009. Both children have grown up and are now forging their paths.
Two children born to late actress Natasha Richardson and renowned actor Liam Neeson are fathers. The couple married in 1994 and remained married until her passing, raising their two sons in a loving home.
Richardson’s death was thus tragic for his two children, Michael and Daniel and Liam Neeson. The two, who lost their mother when they were young, didn’t fully accept the tragedy until more than ten years later.
In a March 2021 interview, Michael spoke openly about his mother’s death and its impact on him. He also admitted that he frequently wished to discuss adult topics with her.
He claimed that his mother’s death was shocking because it occurred during a family gathering. Richardson’s son admitted that the encounter left him feeling disoriented.
Even though he couldn’t relive their interactions, the actor found solace in his memories of her and the archives of every film she appeared in before she died.
Because of his mother’s achievements, Michael grew up wanting to work in the show business. He and his younger brother are now working to honor her memory through their work, words, and deeds. What do we know about Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson’s children?
Liam Neeson’s children are Daniel and Michael Richardson. The two young men have followed in their parent’s footsteps and are now well-versed in the arts.
Liam never remarried after his first wife died. Instead, he took full responsibility for his two sons, a choice that has turned out to be bitter-sweet over time. Having raised his sons, Liam Neeson once said:
“They will always be your little boy, regardless of age.”
Liam’s children would hardly consider themselves his little sons at their current ages of 27 and 26, respectively. It makes sense that children of famous people would want to shine in their own right and emerge from their parents’ shadows as they climb the corporate ladder.
Michael Richardson, Liam Neeson’s first child, was born on June 22, 1995. He was inspired by his parents’ interests to pursue acting at a young age, and in 2013, he made his film debut in “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.”
His most well-known films are, among others, “Broken Symphony,” “Big Dogs,” “Vox Lux,” “Paradise,” and “Cold Pursuits.”
As his career developed, Michael believed he needed to distance himself from his father’s notoriety. As a result, he shed the name “Neeson” at the earliest opportunity and took the last name Richardson of his mother.
Adopting his mother’s name was another way for him to distance himself from his father’s fame and remain close to her. In 2020, Neeson acknowledged that he agreed with his son’s decision to change his last name and insisted that he had made the right choice.
Liam Neeson and his wife had their second son, Daniel Neeson, a year after becoming first-time parents. He joined the other three family members on August 27, 1996.
Like the rest of his family, Daniel grew up with a passion for acting. He continued to pursue his love by majoring in theater at Tulane University, where he graduated in 2019.
He has now established himself in the entertainment business, earning behind-the-scenes credits for films including “Suicide Is Easy.”
Additionally, Daniel dabbled in entrepreneurship by launching Pine Outfitters, a line of eco-friendly clothes. According to the company website, the brand, which was founded in 2016, is committed to “saving the environment and catering a sustainably new and unique style to people who love to have fun in mother nature’s beauty.”
At this rate, these two would achieve the pinnacles of their careers and live up to the reputation of their father, one of Hollywood’s most well-known actors who has worked with people like Julia Roberts.
Time, that mysterious phenomenon, moves so quickly that its passage sometimes passes unnoticed. Shiloh, the once-tender child who rested in the arms of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has miraculously bridged the gap of years and bloomed into adulthood in the blink of an eye.
Surprisingly, recent revelations have shown that the young lady has begun her first romantic journey, marking the beginning of her first partnership.
A member of Shiloh’s closest circle delivered the announcement, a confidant who readily shared these details with Life & Style’s discriminating ears.
According to Shiloh’s close friend, the Jolie child disclosed her desire to enter the realms of courtship a few months ago.
She is now entangled in a romantic entanglement with a suitable counterpart, thanks to the fast tide of time as her guide.
Nonetheless, Shiloh is meticulously structuring her affairs to avoid the constant chase of paparazzi, working to conceal the name of her chosen paramour from prying eyes for as long as possible.
On the other hand, Angelina is unaware of her progeny’s romantic exploits, having been informed of the unfolding story.
Shiloh introduced her lover to her mother in a sincere and admirable move. A previous agreement provided her the privilege of meeting with the opposing gender in exchange for the pledge of disclosing her romantic intentions to Jolie.
Shiloh’s present behaviors are notable for their generosity, reflecting her maturity.
Indeed, the young girl asserts that adulthood no longer requires the approval of her maternal figure to form relationships.
A short fortnight and a smidgeon more separate her from her seventeenth year, an age that bestows on her a heightened sense of independence. The imminent promise of financial self-sufficiency eclipses this milestone, casting a cheerful hue on her horizons.
Shiloh illustrates her existence with a prodigious aptitude for dancing, moonlighting as a background dancer and an educator to her peers.
Her goals, however, extend beyond these areas, as she considers a career in modeling, an aspiration that corresponds to the proportions and grace of her physique.
When the news came out that Jeff Beck had died suddenly, many famous people posted to social media to share their sadness and condolences.
Keith Urban, a country music singer, was among them, and he paid a poignant tribute to the great musician on his Instagram page.
In his article, he recounted how surprised he was to learn that Jeff had “ported into the next realm.” He shared some personal stories from their time together.
He talked about how he was permanently moved by Beck’s musical talent, emphasizing how uncommon such mastery was in our world.
He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to witness and admire Beck’s creativity as a person and learn from him throughout his life.
Keith Urban went on to explain that Jeff Beck’s exceptional guitar-playing and songwriting abilities made an unforgettable mark on him and countless others.
His unusual style fused jazz, blues, rock & roll, and other influences into a distinct sound that has influenced several generations of performers since its inception.
Jeff Beck will be sorely missed by everyone touched by his music.
Jeff Beck got the whole world’s attention with just a Stratocaster, some pedals, two amplifiers, and his incredible talent.
It isn’t easy to define or put into words the tremendous impact he has had on musicians, vocalists, and music fans worldwide.
It is not an exaggeration to suggest that he is among the few people who deserve to be carved into the Mt. Rushmore of guitar legends.
”I was fortunate enough to be invited by my friend Scott Bradoka to watch Jeff perform – an experience I will never forget.”
”Billy Gibbons and I watched in amazement as Jeff used his instrument and skills to cast a musical spell in a way only he could. It was a truly fantastic sight.”
Jeff Beck has been a guitar-playing maestro for decades, from the exquisite complexities that define each note he plays to his contemporary take on old genres.
His ability to capture an audience is unequaled; he appears to be able to cast a spell on everyone in attendance without fail.
Few musicians can compete with him regarding basic technique or proficiency on strings, from blues and jazz to rock and roll, so much so that some may even say he has influenced others in their artistry.
The atmosphere created by Beck at any of his performances is unique; whether in an intimate setting or a giant arena full of people cheering as one, it’s always sure to be a fantastic experience for all involved.
Keith Urban delivered a moving tribute to his late friend Jeff Beck. He expressed his gratitude for Beck’s significant effect on his life and wished him peace in his passing.
Several of their fans were moved by the gesture and responded with warm words, expressing their appreciation for the singer and how much they had come to appreciate his work over the years.
One person expressed their admiration for Jeff Beck’s talent and craftsmanship, while another complimented Keith Urban for commemorating him in such a particular way.
It’s no surprise that Keith Urban’s remarks impacted so many people of all ages, as Jeff Beck was one of the best guitarists of all time, leaving an unforgettable mark on music.
His signature sound drew people worldwide, from those who heard it live to those who could only enjoy it through recordings.
He was a talented instrumentalist and a gifted songwriter whose imagination stretched boundaries and inspired others in the field.
Throughout his five-decade career, he received several prizes and honors, solidifying his place as one of our generation’s most influential musicians.
Keith Urban’s emotional remark demonstrates how passionately he felt about Jeff Beck’s legacy. Keith Urban, a famous country singer, and Nicole Kidman, his wife, saw each other again in Australia before Christmas.
Keith had been on tour in the United States promoting his Speed of Now record, and Nicole had been filming a movie in Hong Kong, so the couple had been away for some time.
Keith and Nicole were joyfully reunited at Sydney airport, where their two children, Sunday and Faith, had already arrived to join them.
The last few months have been hard for the whole family, but Nicole has always been there for her husband.
Even though they live far apart, she has prioritized staying in touch with him, and she has been by his side, cheering him on during his tour.
After being separated for so long, the entire family emanated happiness and relief at finally being together again.
Have you ever dreamed of living life on the road, exploring new places, and creating unforgettable memories? That’s exactly what Sam and Rachel Dix from Bristol did when they converted an American yellow school bus into a luxurious mobile home. But their adventure didn’t stop there – they even welcomed their baby boy, Bodhi, on board their unique home on wheels!
The couple’s journey began when they had the 37 by eight-foot school bus shipped from New York to Southampton and then to a farm in Somerset. This bus, previously used to transport 72 children, has now become a symbol of their expanding family’s love and adventure.
Sam’s wife, Rachel, who is 32 years old, took charge of the bus’s interior design, while Sam, a 33-year-old self-employed carpenter, skillfully brought their vision to life.
It was a labor of love that took over six months to complete, with the seats being removed to make way for splendid wooden flooring, a practical kitchen, a cozy bedroom, and a stylish bathroom.
The couple found inspiration for their new lifestyle by listening to a podcast called the Motorhome Matt podcast. This podcast not only provided insights into buying the perfect motorhome but also shared tips for making money while traveling.
The bus became their haven on wheels, a sanctuary where they could enjoy comfort and freedom. Its exterior, still that iconic yellow, was equipped with solar panels to reduce their electrical bill.
Sam even installed a light on top of the bus to help the midwives find them in the dark when Rachel went into labor on the organic farm they were parked on. The midwives arrived at around 8 pm, and just three hours later, Rachel gave birth to their son Bodhi in the cozy living room of their home on wheels.
The birth certificate proudly cites ‘American School Bus’ as the place of Bodhi’s arrival, becoming a testament to the extraordinary journey of the Dix family. Their decision to embark on this adventure was a tribute to Rachel’s late father, who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 52. It was a way for them to honor his memory and fully embrace life.
Sam accomplished most of the bus conversion by himself, with some help from his parents for painting and a professional for the electrical work. Their hard work paid off, as the interior of the bus became a comfortable and inviting space.
From wooden floors to natural materials and plants, every detail was thoughtfully designed to create a cozy atmosphere.
Since their successful conversion, the Dix family has decided to renovate a third vehicle for even more adventures on the road. As a result, they have put their beloved bus up for sale.
Sam has updated the layout and refurbished the interior so that it can become someone else’s dream home on wheels. It could be a perfect fit for an individual or couple, possibly with young children, who are ready to embark on their own adventure.
Sam’s friend, Matt Sims, the head of the Motorhome Matt podcast and CEO of The Motorhome Holiday Company, has proven to be an invaluable source of guidance throughout their journey.
With 30 years of business experience, Matt believes that there are various ways to make money from a motorhome, from renovations to outsourcing. He encourages everyone to do their research and find the best investment that suits their lifestyle and interests.
In addition to their exciting story, the Dix family’s adventure highlights the importance of sustainability and making conscious choices while on the road.
They have incorporated solar panels to reduce their emissions and save money. According to Matt, we can all take small steps to make a positive impact on the planet while still enjoying the freedom of traveling.
So, if you’ve ever dreamed of hitting the road and creating your own unforgettable memories, take some inspiration from Sam and Rachel Dix. Their story proves that with dedication, creativity, and a sense of adventure, you can transform a simple school bus into a luxurious home on wheels. It’s time to embrace the unknown and embark on an adventure of a lifetime!
Candace Cameron Bure has recently been the focus of significant media criticism. The actress recently made headlines for comments about “traditional marriage,” which did not sit well with all her admirers.
This time, a photo of the actress and her spouse is making a commotion.
Candace Cameron Bure met Valeri Bure, the man she would marry at a hockey game in 1994. They began dating in 1994 and married on June 22, 1996.
They’ve been married for nearly 20 years but still make time for each other and try to keep their love alive.
Seeing the playful side of their marriage in a story Bure shared on Instagram was fun. Nonetheless, the actress received a strong reaction from her viewers, who took her lighthearted attitude as disrespectful.
And, despite the criticism, Bure did not back down. Instead of backing down, she posted the photo on her Facebook page. Two images she uploaded online showed the “sweet and spicy” character of her love for her husband. Valerie’s arm is wrapped around his wife’s shoulder, and his hand is on her chest in the second image.
Fans cautioned her that the photo was unacceptable for a ‘Christian celebrity’ of her caliber. Nonetheless, the actress had a response for her detractors. “I’m sorry if that offended you… I’m not sorry,” she laughed in a follow-up video posted to her Instagram stories. “I’m glad we’re still having fun after all these years.”
After 24 years, she claimed she exhibited the results of a “good and healthy marriage.”
“It makes me laugh because it’s my husband,” she added in a subsequent Instagram story video. “He has the right to touch me whenever he wants, and I hope he does.”

Despite fierce criticism from admirers, George Clooney remains in awe of his wife, Amal Clooney, the mysterious and lovely woman who won his heart and terminated his bachelorhood.
“Everything about my wife is magical, as I believe everyone has realized as they see her, hear her, and hear what she stands for.” In 2022, the screen-savvy Clooney told Entertainment Today. “She just doesn’t have a flaw.”
George Clooney is well-known for his appearances in both television and cinema. Some may recall him as a young handyman in the famous sitcom The Facts of Life, which aired from 1979 until 1988. In recent years, he has starred in films such as Ticket to Paradise, Ocean’s Eleven, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2022).
In 2013, he met the attractive Lebanese-British human rights attorney Amal Alamuddin.
The couple’s amazing love story continued in 2014 with a proposal after only six months of dating.
“I dropped it on her, and she just kept saying, ‘Oh, my God,’ and ‘Wow!’” Clooney, now 61, recounted of the event. We just stayed there till I said, “Listen, I’m 52, and I’ve been on my knee for about 28 minutes, so I have to get an answer out of this, or I’m going to throw a hip out. I may not be able to get back up!”
The couple married in September 2014 at the luxury Aman Canal Grande hotel in Venice, Italy, in front of a star-studded audience that included Bono, Matt Damon, and Bill Murray.
Amal was pushed into the spotlight when she began dating Clooney, exposing her vulnerability to the unrelenting abuse of online trolls.
Among Amal’s many well-known clients are Julian Assange, the creator of Wikileaks, and Yulia Tymoshenko, the former prime minister of Ukraine who supported her country’s accession to the European Union. Amal is 45 years old right now. In 2019, she also addressed on behalf of the United Nations.
Some on social media brand the model “ugly” and a “gawky gargoyle,” dismissing her accomplishments in favor of her appearance and physique.
“I am utterly perplexed that when George Clooney intends to settle down, he chooses Amal Clooney, who looks like an unattractive man,” one Twitter user commented in January 2015.
One commenter said she’s lovely, but her legs are shapeless sticks and sticky, while another said, “Too dreadfully thin, too very thin boney old thing.”
In the meantime, one person defended the attorney, saying, “Amal Clooney is a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer!! What does it matter how she dresses?”
In one case, a significant news organization ignored Amal’s extraordinary achievements.
The Associated Press was chastised in 2015 for referring to Amal, who then represented Egyptian-Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy, as an “actor’s wife.”
“Amal Clooney, actor’s wife, represents Al-Jazeera journalist accused in Egypt of ties to extremists,” said the tweet.
Many reacted angrily to AP’s tweet, prompting the news organization to change it to “Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney condemns prison terms handed out to three Al-Jazeera English journalists.”
Amal responded delicately on BBC’s Entertainment Tonight, saying, “There’s not much I can do to stop it but keep going. Critically criticizing journalists for focusing on the wrong problems is encouraging because it shows that people expect more from their media.”
Amal was featured by Time in a cover piece titled Women of the Year, 12 Leaders Fighting Toward a More Fair Society, in March 2022. Maria Ressa, a Filipino-American writer and Nobel Peace laureate, was one of her customers who wrote the narrative. Amal Clooney won’t back down comments about her increased notoriety and criticism in the article Amal Clooney Won’t Back Down:
“In terms of raising my public profile, I believe all I can do is try to focus attention on what is important.” This may be advantageous to some clients. There isn’t much I can do if I’m at a work function and the reporting concentrates on unrelated concerns. Because I do not influence it, my strategy is to avoid dwelling on it and to carry on with my work and life, hoping that views would change.”
Amal’s adoring and caring husband is still over heels in love with her, and his frequent praise is heart-warming.
“She’s stunning and has a terrific sense of style – there’s no stylist or anything, she simply comes out that way, and she shows here, and she looks stunning,” he exclaimed. And she does it while working on 11 cases at the same time. So she’s a fantastic woman.”
With their twin kids, Alexander and Ella, born in 2017, the couple spends a lot of time at their Lake Como seafront Villa Oleandra, where they first met in 2013.
“Every day of my life, I just feel lucky,” Clooney said in a 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve been fortunate in my career. I’m fortunate to have discovered the ideal mate.”
“Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but you end up with the person you were always meant to be with. That’s how I feel, and I know Amal feels the same way.”
What a lucky couple! What are your thoughts on George and Amal Clooney’s marriage?
The veteran actress Diane Keaton, who has nearly 60 years of acting experience, is a master of many aspects of the silver screen.
Off camera, though, the Hollywood “it girl” was a “master at hiding,” keeping dark secrets from her younger self that she now acknowledges as “creepy.”
The LA-born Diane Keaton, 77, is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished leading ladies and an icon with a nearly six-decade-long career.
She debuted on stage in 1968 as an understudy for a main role in the counterculture musical Hair, where Woody Allen first saw her. He later cast her as his love interest in the Broadway production of Play it Again, Sam (1969).
The then 23-year-old received her first and only Tony nomination for the role of Linda Christie, which she later repeated in the 1972 film adaption of the same name.
Although they collaborated on multiple films over the following two decades, her real-life relationship with Woody Allen only lasted a few years, mirroring the fleeting stage romance her character enjoyed with Allen.
The award-winning actor made a few unremarkable cameos in movies, TV shows, and advertisements before landing her breakout part in The Godfather.
In the Oscar-winning movie with unparalleled commercial and critical success, Keaton played the girlfriend and ultimately the wife of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), significantly increasing her fame as an actor.
She returned to The Godfather Part II in 1974, playing the estranged wife of the criminal empire’s boss opposite Al Pacino, with whom she had an on-and-off romance.
I was crazy for him. Before she and Pacino started dating, Keaton confessed to having a crush on the actor. “Charming, hilarious, and a nonstop talker,” Keaton told People. He had a part of himself that resembled a lost orphan or a crazy idiot genius. And oh, lovely!”
She and Allen reunited in Annie Hall (1977), bringing her an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.
Warren Beatty, Keaton’s co-star, and director in several successful films like Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Manhattan, and 1981’s Reds, was the subject of a passionate love affair between the two. Warren made his film debut in 1961’s Splendor in the Grass. Come on! He was truly, to die for. The dream. Bonnie and Clyde, perhaps? Come on,” she exclaimed in a Variety interview.
In addition to being a brilliant movie star and stunningly attractive, seductive, sexy, alluring, and enigmatic, he was also an incredible producer and director. Or, to be more precise, he still is. This is all just so unusual.
As she grew older, the Baby Boom actress expanded her body of work. She then starred alongside Steve Martin as the mother in Father of the Bride in 1991, had her first appearance with Allen in Manhattan Murder Mystery since Annie Hall, and as the divorced wife of the mafia boss in The Godfather Part III in 2000.
She received an Academy Award nomination for her role in the comedy. Something’s Gotta Give in 2003. It was her first major box office success since 1996’s First Wives Club starred Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn.
Her co-stars gushed about her performances since she is a consummate professional. In the movie, Something’s Gotta Give, Keaton and Jack Nicholson co-starred. Jack Nicholson said of Keaton, “She’s nothing if not fascinating, and working with her, she’s very unpredictable, which I like.” She is highly organized in all of this. She approaches a screenplay somewhat like a play in that, unlike other performers I’ve seen, she memorizes the full script before filming begins.
Keaton was particularly fond of Keanu Reeves, her much younger co-star, in contrast to her character in the movie, who falls in love with her daughter’s much older boyfriend (Nicholson).
Keaton told the Sydney Morning Herald that her on-screen kisses with Reeves—20 years her junior—were “quite embarrassing ” for Keanu, too. It is related to the passage of time. While kissing him, you automatically think, “Uh, probably not! ” “And Keanu was saying, ‘Not!’,” the endearing actor said. He tried to be courteous. He is stunningly gorgeous, though. A guilty pleasure, that. Very much a guilty pleasure.
Either actor has not substantiated rumors of their off-screen romance.
Keaton is a champion of natural aging and is proud of her silvery mane and appearance as a woman in her late 70s. She leads with a great deal of humility.
“I tell myself that my body is mine to do with as I like. Exactly why not? I’m still wearing wide-belted plaid coats, horn-rimmed glasses, and turtlenecks in the summer; I may be a caricature of myself. Then what? She added in a Daily Beast interview that nobody saves for me is concerned. “I don’t see anything wrong with Botox, fillers, or facelifts. Just the hidden scars from combat are removed. I kind of plan to wear mine.
Even though she is a well-respected actor, playwright, director, and singer in Hollywood, she is not exempt from unwarranted criticism from the general public.
After she attended the Golden Globes in 2014, an online user targeted her with the following Tweet: “Wow. Diane Keaton gained weight.
Another critic recently stated, “Well, Diane Keaton isn’t nice, she’s ugly inside and out!” without apparent cause.
It’s important to realize that the stunning actress with an incredibly slender frame is recovering from her destructive relationship with food.
During an appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, Keaton stated, “It was awful. Of course, that was the lowest period in my life. I was an obese individual who had managed to deceive myself or herself into believing that I wasn’t fat.”
“In light of this, after you’ve been living a lie for four years…” She said, “All I did was feed my hunger, so I am an addict,” as she described her struggle with bulimia. “It is real. I’m an addict recovering, and I always will be. I tend to become addicted.”
She was teased into taking the lead in Hair in exchange for losing 10 pounds, which immediately set off her insecurities. After Act 1, the players who agreed to disrobe would get an additional $50 from the production. Keaton objected.
She ate a lot to cope with the stress. She then let all she had eaten out of her stomach by throwing up.
She consumed 20,000 calories per supper, which included “a bucket of fried chicken, several orders of fries with blue cheese and ketchup, a couple of TV dinners, a quart of soda, pounds of candy, a whole cake, and three banana cream pies.”
She visited a therapist five times per week for a year after realizing she had a problem treating her binge eating disorder.
About her adopted children, Keaton said, “Now it’s (addiction) work oriented or trying to raise my children as best I can, even though they’re…not children anymore.”
At the 2017 American Film Awards dinner, where Keaton received a Lifetime Achievement Award, Woody Allen made fun of his multi-talented buddy by joking about the eating disorder she concealed while they were together.
Allen jokingly said, “I didn’t know a lot of stuff until I read her novels. “I had no idea she was bulimic… I was going to take her to these fancy restaurants. $400 for a meal. I could have taken her to Pizza Hut if I had known she was throwing them up.
Even though the star-studded audience laughed, Keaton’s bulimia was a very serious issue to her.
Keaton insisted that she didn’t reduce her weight to satisfy the producers of Hair, saying instead that she kept the weight off and “became a master at hiding.” How can you ensure no one finds out if you hide evidence? You lead a pretty peculiar existence. You are acting falsely.
“People were nice enough, but I felt like an outsider,” she continues. “I had a problem, and it was spooky. You lose a lot of time to bulimia each day.
The star of rom-com royalty, who has never been married, loves being a mother. Duke Keaton, 23, and Dexter Keaton White, 27, are Keaton’s children, both of whom she adopted while in her fifties.
“I didn’t believe I would ever be ready to be a mother. Being a mother wasn’t a desire I couldn’t resist; I had been considering it for a long time. I dove right in,” she remarked.
She is remarkable, and we value her openness in discussing her eating condition. We wish Keaton the best of luck as she continues her quest because the mirror can be our worst critic.
