Carrie Underwood has sparked an online stir with her high-slit metallic outfit that left her legs on display. Although public opinion regarding the star’s dress ranged from critique to praise, the commentary did not take away from the prestige of the event Underwood attended, where she celebrated a friend’s major milestone.

Iconic musician Carrie Underwood served looks at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Gala on June 13. Wearing a unique and eye-catching metallic dress, Underwood left jaws dropping to the floor as she posed on the red carpet alongside fellow friends and artists in the music industry. However, not everybody was impressed by what she wore.

Dazzling in an all-silver look, Underwood adorned a bespoke sleeveless metallic bodice attached to a striking skirt. Rouched and bunched up in the front, the lower half of her dress left her toned legs exposed while the back of the dress draped to the floor.

She paired her intricately designed ensemble with matching strap heels and accessorized with beautiful jewelry, including two necklaces, dangling earrings, bracelets, and gorgeous diamond rings.

Attending the prestigious event as one of the esteemed guests, Underwood was there to celebrate the talented songwriters who had the honor of being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Among the inductees was her dear friend and cowriter, Hillary Lindsey, whom she boasted about in a carousel post she shared online.

“Had the best night celebrating Hillary Lindsey and many other incredible songwriters and artists last night […] It was so cool to have so many genres represented in one place! And, of course, being there for my girl, Hillary, was a true joy! There is no one who deserves it more!” Underwood penned.

The “Jesus, Take the Wheel” singer also had praise for her friend, “I am SO proud of my friend and cowriter for the mark she has made on music and I am beyond blessed to have learned so much from her over the years. Cheers to Hillary and to all the inductees!!!”

Upon seeing pictures of Underwood on the red carpet where she posed alongside other heavy hitters in the industry like Nile Rodgers, Keith Urban, Clive Davis, and Diane Warren, people flooded social media platforms with opinions.

The majority of AmoMama readers felt that Underwood’s look was lackluster and unflattering. “Surely, she has better taste than THAT!!!” exclaimed one of our readers.

Another commented, “The dress is not flattering,” while someone who was completely taken aback wrote, “What was she thinking?” Diverting their focus on how Underwood’s legs looked, an AmoMama reader asserted, “She should hide those legs is all I can say.” Echoing the sentiment another chimed in with, “Not pretty legs!”

Amid the critique Underwood received, however, some readers came to her defense, complimenting her appearance, including her legs. “Strongest legs in country music,” one commended, and another simply gushed, “Beautiful ❤️.”

Regardless of what some may think of Underwood’s look, specifically as it pertains to her metallic dress, the garment appears to be popular as the same design has been worn before, by a model.

The official Instagram account of the designer brand, Rafik Zaki, who made Underwood’s dress, shared images of model and influencer Kenzy Mamdouh wearing the widely debated gown.

According to the brand’s caption accompanying their carousel post, eccentric designs are their specialty. “wearable art is our philosophy #rafikzakidesigns,” penned the account.

Aside from discussions revolving around Underwood’s Rafik Zaki designer dress, other people were simply happy to see the Oklahoma native at the event. A few lucky fans even got to meet her, one of whom took to Instagram to boast about their encounter.

Fans have seen new photos of the actresses and are urging them to age gracefully. According to the public, celebrities should set an example for their audience.

For years, fans have noted that age seems to have no effect on Jennifer Aniston.

It’s hard to disagree— the actress consistently maintains her fitness.

She works out both at the gym and at home, pays special attention to skincare and haircare, and is well-versed in healthy living and nutrition.

Photos of the Hollywood star always receive numerous compliments, but recent pictures of Jennifer Aniston have disappointed her fans. In the latest images, she is seen posing with Reese Witherspoon.

The actresses shared a photo announcing the start of filming for the third season of “The Morning Show.” It appears the team gathered to discuss the script. “Let the games of season 4 begin, we’re on our way!” Jennifer wrote under the photo.

In the picture, Aniston and Witherspoon are wearing jeans and fitted white tanks, holding nameplates. However, fans noticed something unusual about the stars’ faces. Users pointed out that the celebrities seemed to have overdone the editing, as it’s clear they used a filter to smooth their skin. It’s worth noting that 48-year-old Witherspoon’s personal blog features many photos that she carefully edits to hide fine lines and signs of aging. 55-year-old Jennifer isn’t lagging behind. Fans were not impressed by their efforts:

1968, a 15-year-old boy and a 20-year-old girl, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, crossed paths on a movie set, sparking a unique love story. Initially, their perspectives on the encounter differed, but it marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. Over the years, Goldie Hawn achieved fame in Hollywood, facing challenges as a strong, independent woman. Kurt Russell transitioned from Disney roles to grittier characters. Their paths reconverged during the 1984 film “Swing Shift,” both having experienced marriages and divorces.

Their love story, characterized by authenticity, defied conventions, culminating in the birth of their son, Wyatt, in 1986. Despite their enduring love, Russell and Hawn chose not to marry, viewing the institution differently after past experiences. Their decision was grounded in the belief that their relationship didn’t require validation through marriage. They made a pact to consider marriage only if their children deemed it necessary, but the children saw no need.

Now celebrating 40 years together, Russell and Hawn remain a testament to enduring love that defies societal norms. Their blended family, with six grandchildren, reflects the essence of love transcending traditional boundaries. The couple emphasizes the simplicity of wanting to be together as the key to lasting love. Russell and Hawn stand as icons of the silver screen and paragons of enduring love, thriving in the warmth of shared moments.

In 2020, Hollywood lost one of its true legends: Olivia de Havilland.

The two-time Oscar-winning star of classic films like Gone with the Wind and The Adventures of Robin Hood, died at 104.

The last living major star of Hollywood’s golden age was notorious for her dark sense of humor during the filming of Gone With the Wind,– but her real-life was even darker than her movies…

Nobody can touch Olivia in terms of her grace, control, beauty, strength, intelligence, and wit. She was the epitome of a lady.

De Havilland first gained fame in the 1930s as one of Hollywood’s top ingénues, memorably starring in swashbuckling adventure films opposite Errol Flynn, including the classics Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood.

She finished the decade with perhaps her best-remembered role: Melanie Wilkes in the classic Gone with the Wind, often ranked as one of the best Hollywood films of all time and, adjusted for inflation, still the highest-grossing film ever made.

As the kindhearted best friend and confidant to Vivien Leigh’s Scarlett O’Hara, de Havilland provided the heart of the film, giving a classic performance that earned her her first Oscar nomination.

But her other biggest contribution to Hollywood came off screen: in 1943, she sued Warner Bros. over the terms of her exclusive contract, wanting the freedom to pursue roles with other studios.

She won the lawsuit, striking a blow on behalf of actors and reducing the control the studio system had on them. To this day, it’s known as “The de Havilland Law.”

It also meant de Havilland was able to break her ingenue stereotype at Warner Bros and pursue more dramatic roles, which paid off: She received two Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role for 1946’s To Each His Own and 1949’s The Heiress, among other honors.

Tragic childhood

In 1960, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2008 she was honored with the National Medal of Arts. De Havilland made her last screen appearance in 1988 but survived as one of the last members of classic Hollywood.

Olivia de Havilland must have been very proud of what she accomplished, considering where she came from. Her childhood was pretty tragic and turbulent. Olivia was born in Tokyo in 1916 to British parents, Lillian (nee Ruse), an actor, and Walter de Havilland, a patent lawyer.

Olivia also had a younger sister, actress Joan Fontaine, born in 1917. According to BBC, the sister’s relationship and rivalry ”was a constant source of speculation in the gossip columns.”

Olivia and Joan apparently suffered from bronchial problems, so their mother decided to move to California in 1919. The idea was to find a better climate for the girls – a doctor said that the climate in Saratoga, in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, would do them good.

Sadly, the relationship between Lillian and Walter de Havilland was estranged. Olivia’s father was notorious for his infidelities and would later abandon the family. 11 days after moving to California, the father left and returned back to Tokyo to marry his Japanese housekeeper.

Fight with stepfather

Instead, Olivia de Havilland grew up with her mother, sister, and stepfather. The mother’s upbringing has been described as very strict. Lillian had very high demands on her daughters. Both Oliva and Joan needed to ask permission to leave the house.

When a teenage de Havilland, with her huge brown eyes and long golden-brown hair, started to get interested in amateur theatre and started starring in school plays, things turned sour at home.

She really wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, which ultimately led to a sharp confrontation with her stepfather, George Milan Fontaine. He didn’t want her to become an actress and threatened to go kick her out of the house if Olivia agreed to take on the lead role in the high school play ”Pride and Prejudice.”

But Olivia’s passion for drama couldn’t be stopped.

Her stepfather, known for his rigid discipline, made it clear that if she left the house, she left forever. The 17-year-old girl decided to take the role and left her home to pursue her dreams.

Olivia stayed at the home of friends until she won a scholarship to Mills College. And the rest is history.

Inside her passing

Olivia’s passing has left a huge hole in the atmosphere, like oxygen leaving the room around us.

She died on July 26, 2020, at the age of 104. She died at her home in Paris of natural causes, according to her publicist.

Of course, it didn’t take long for Hollywood paid tribute to the legend and her incredible career.

Actress Jane Seymour recalled working with her on a film, calling her ”larger than life” and ”a brilliant actor.”

The legendary Olivia De Havilland passed away yesterday. She was 104. Olivia made a powerful impact in my life and I had the pleasure to spend some time with her in Paris. I thanked her for her bravery and shared how her choices affected me and my brother (1/6) pic.twitter.com/R9RXsrWHS9

And one of the most personal tributes came from an unlikely source: actor Jared Leto, who recalled meeting de Havilland in Paris and discussing how the actress’ legal victory impacted his own career.

“I thanked her for her bravery and shared how her choices affected me and my brother,” Leto wrote on Twitter.

And fans even honored de Havilland with tributes on her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame:

What an extraordinary life and career. Rest in peace to a true Hollywood legend! Share this story with your favorite memories of Olivia de Havilland.

Over the years, actress Julia Roberts have been involved in a few relationships with celebrity men, but it wasn’t until 2002 that she met the love of her life. Her relationship with her now-husband Daniel Moder has been a complicated one from the start. In fact, the two had a fair share of drama until they got where they are today.

When they first met in 2000 on the set of The Mexican, Moder was married to then-wife Vera Steimberg. Rumors were that his first marriage broke down because of the Runaway Bride star although she claimed she wasn’t the reason why Moder and Steimberg divorced.

Before tying the knot with Moder, with whom she shared three children, twins Phinnaeus and Hazel and a son Henry, Roberts was romantically involved with actors Dylan McDermott, Matthew Perry, Jason Patric and Liam Neeson. She was briefly engaged to actor Kiefer Sutherland, but the two split mere days before they were supposed to say ‘I do.’ Roberts then married country singer Lyle Lovett and their marriage lasted for two years, from 1993 to 1995. At the time she met Moder, Roberts was said to have dated actor Benjamin Bratt.

Today, 20 years after tying the knot, Roberts and Moder are as in love as day one.

Roberts is known as someone who tends to keep her personal life private, yet, back in 2018, she opened up about her marriage when speaking to Gwyneth Paltrow on the GOOP podcast. “I think that first kind of real ‘seismic shift’ was meeting Danny, getting married to Danny… that was the first ‘my life will never be the same’ in the most incredible, indescribable way,” she said.

She then added: “He truly, to this day, to this minute is just my favorite human … I’m more interested in what he has to say or his point of view just (more) than anybody. Really, we’re so lucky in that way. We just really, really like each other and we just enjoy each other’s company.”

Further, she said that their love for one another only gets deeper with each passing day and added that marriage is a gamble. “… you’re young and you fall in love and go, ‘Yeah, we’re going to get married and we’re going to build a house and will have kids,’ and all these things that we all kind of dream of, but you don’t know if you’re going to like the same couch and you don’t know if he is going to want to get patterned towels.”

Richard Gere, 74, just recently become a father once more. Richard and his wife, Alejandra Silva, 39, brought a son into the world in February 2019.

Their second son was born in April 2020, according to reports. Although the babies are the first children Gere and Silva have together, both of them already have kids from prior marriages.

This refers to Gere’s 22-year-old son, Homer James Jigme, whom he shares custody of with his ex-wife Care Lowell.

Admit it, you’re interested in seeing how this 22-year-old looks now. You won’t be disappointed because we have the solution, thank goodness. Following his performance in American Gigolo and his roles in classic films like Pretty Woman and An Officer and a Gentleman, Richard Gere solidified his status as Hollywood’s leading man.

Richard soon after met Cindy Crawford, a model and actress, who would become his first wife. The couple allegedly met at a BBQ, according to media sources.

“We talked, then we had a date, then we had another date,” Crawford said.

The couple quickly gained notoriety as one of Hollywood’s sexiest, and paparazzi followed them everywhere.

Gere and Crawford dined at the top restaurants in New York and Los Angeles in addition to appearing on red carpets and front covers. However, Gere was unsure if he would wed his younger partner.

However, the pair made the decision to fly to Las Vegas and tie the knot in December 1991. Only a small number of guests were invited to the chapel, so it was by no means a lavish wedding.

“It was the wedding I dreamed of. It was so last minute,” Crawford once said about the nuptials.

The couple filed for divorce four years later. Cindy Crawford has often argued that the age gap was excessive. When they first met, she was 22 and Richard was 39.

“I think I was more willing at 22 to be, like, ‘Okay, I’ll follow,’ but then you start going, ‘Well, I don’t want to just follow — I want to lead sometimes and I want to walk side by side sometimes,’” she admitted.

The pair divorced four years later. The age gap was too wide, according to Cindy Crawford, who has long maintained this. Richard was 39 and she was 22 when they first met.

Homer Gere, their first and only child, was born in February 2000. Gere had been reluctant to have kids while he was dating Crawford. Everything was unique when Carey Lowell was present.

“It was actually quite simple. I never had an issue about children one way or the other. With Carey, she had a child from a previous marriage, and it was just a natural thing, caring for this child, having our own child. It was totally spontaneous and right,” he told The Guardian in 2002.

Homer was born in New York City, and his parents gave him the Tibetan name Jigme in honour of Gere’s dedication to promoting human rights in Tibet.

The Pretty Woman actor explained to The Guardian how being a father may alter a man in the following way:

“The marginal stuff just doesn’t affect you any more when you weigh it against the real things in your life. All the cliches [about parenthood] are true. “

Homer ended up in the limelight quite early, as his parents were world-famous celebrities.

Much was reported about the family’s privacy when his mother and father parted ways in 2003. There were a lot of rumours and cheap barbs hurled about the divorce at times.

Homer’s parents were fighting over who would get custody of him, which brought him back into the spotlight.

Media reports claim that Carey Lowell enforced the strict requirements because she had given up working for several years. Lowell asserted that she was entitled to half of Gere’s salary since their 2002 marriage because she gave up her work to care for him and their son Homer.

Hannah Dunne, a half-sister of Homer James Jigme Gere, is the result of his mother Carey Lowell’s prior union with actor, producer, and director Thomas Gryphon Dunne. Then, when Richard Gere’s wife Alejandra Silva gave birth to a newborn boy in New York City the previous year, Homer welcomed his half-brother.

Homer prefers to keep a low profile, in contrast to his father. He is presently residing in New York. It appears that Richard has inherited his son’s good looks and contagious charisma from him.

But Homer prefers to keep a low profile, unlike his father. Nevertheless, despite his efforts to avoid the spotlight, Homer made a number of public appearances with both of his parents when he was younger.

For instance, Homer and his father have appeared together in the largest children’s film festival in Europe, the Giffoni Film Festival, which is held in the Italian town of Giffoni Valle Piana. Homer and his father are reportedly still quite close, and many people think the two bear a strong likeness.

Robert De Niro fired a warning shot that went unanswered before going all out on a critic who had assaulted him both personally and professionally.

The Godfather actor, who is vocal about his political beliefs, was recently challenged to a verbal duel by followers of Donald Trump. Furthermore, De Niro did not back down from the Little Fockers who infuriated him, labeling the demonstrators as “gangsters.”

For more information on De Niro’s response to the admirer who ventured to remark, “Your movies suck!” continue reading.

Robert De Niro, an actor born in New York, has amassed a career spanning over 60 years and is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and significant figures of his generation.

The 80-year-old man has achieved great success in a variety of cinema genres, including drama, comedy, and crime. He is considered one of the first gangsters, having played a youthful Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II (1974).

The Goodfellas actor also served as the inspiration for the girl group Bananarama’s 1984 hit song “Robert De Niro’s Waiting,” which topped the charts for a record-breaking twelve weeks.

‘This is the time’

The vocal Democrat showed up outside the Manhattan courtroom housing Donald Trump’s hush money trial at the end of May.

At a Joe Biden campaign gathering outside of court was the star of The Intern, who just narrated an advertisement for the President.

Using his position, De Niro urged people not to support Trump in the approaching presidential election, saying he intended to “destroy not only the city, but the nation.”

De Niro told reporters outside the courthouse, “We’ve forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren’t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators.” “Now that we get a second opportunity with Trump, nobody is laughing. Now is the moment to permanently remove him from office by voting him out.

“I don’t mean to scare you,” he continues. Wait, maybe I really do want to frighten you. I can guarantee you that once [Trump] is in, he won’t go.

‘You are gangsters’

His remarks were met with condemnation from a group of enraged Trump fans who did not share his views.

The Raging Bull actor tries to defend himself, saying, “You’re not going to intimidate; that’s what Trump does, to try f***ing intimidate.” We must retaliate militarily.

In response, Jason Miller, Trump’s top campaign advisor, reportedly called multiple Oscar winner Robert De Niro “a washed-up actor,” according to the Associated Press.

In this world, we are attempting to be gentlemanly. You guys are gangsters! The father of eight snaps back, “You are gangsters!”

A different voice can be heard among the enraged hecklers, yelling, “Robert De Niro! You’re something of a punk.You have no significance! Your motion pictures are awful.

Shortly after, the actor is heard yelling a well-earned “F**k you” as he is led past the crowd.

It’s unrealistic to expect celebrities to behave civilly in the face of critical individuals, and we hope his response serves as a reminder that they are also humans!

Barbra Streisand says she ‘can’t live in this country’ if Donald Trump wins 2024 presidential election

Following her icy serenade of former President Donald Trump in the song “Don’t Lie to Me,” Barbra Streisand attacks the “tyrant” once more, threatening to leave the country if the Republican nominee for 2024 is re-elected.

A strong marriage can withstand any challenge.

In today’s world, marital vows are sometimes taken for granted, but Delta Burke and Gerald McRaney are a testament to their enduring commitment over three decades. Let’s delve into the various trials and triumphs this couple has faced.

When Gerald McRaney first met actress Delta Burke, he felt compelled to ask her out. Despite knowing he had competition due to her popularity, McRaney was determined not to let her slip away. Their connection was instant, and on their second date, he proposed. Although they officially tied the knot two years later in 1989, McRaney was thrilled to have won the heart of his dream girl.

While Burke was entering her first marriage, McRaney had been married twice before. However, he was resolute in making this union last. Despite skepticism from some of McRaney’s friends, who warned him against it, he stood firm in his commitment. Both being in the entertainment industry, they understood each other’s challenges and offered unwavering support and guidance.

They celebrated each other’s successes, with Burke cheering on McRaney when he won a Primetime Emmy award for his performance in “This Is Us.” McRaney values Burke’s opinion above all others, particularly regarding his acting career.

In 1998, their marriage faced a significant test when Burke experienced personal losses and health struggles. Dealing with the loss of her grandmother, her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis, and her own battle with weight gain due to hypoglycemia, Burke endured a challenging period. Despite misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments, she eventually learned she had type 2 diabetes. Throughout this ordeal, McRaney stood by her side, providing unwavering support and care, even assisting with her insulin shots.

Burke acknowledges McRaney’s unwavering love and support during her lowest moments, crediting him for helping her navigate her health challenges. Despite the difficulties, the couple remains committed to each other’s well-being and continues to prioritize their health together. Burke is now in a better place health-wise and has no plans to return to acting, although McRaney remains open to the possibility of working together again.

While they have no children together, they’ve dedicated their lives to raising McRaney’s three children from his previous marriages. As they plan to move to central Florida, their bond remains strong, a testament to the enduring power of love and commitment in marriage.
