Benji Madden and Cameron‌ Diaz have been happily married ⁤for over nine years now. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, four years ago ‍and ‍have kept her out of the public eye⁤ since‌ then.⁣ However, the couple ‌has recently announced the arrival of their second child, a son named Cardinal.

The⁤ news came as a ‌surprise to many, as the couple has always been very private about their personal lives. In their joint‌ Instagram ‌announcement, they shared a photo of a piece‍ of artwork with the ⁤words “A little bird whispered to me,” revealing the‌ birth of their son.

The couple’s caption ⁤read, “We are blessed and ⁢excited to announce the birth of⁤ our Son, Cardinal Madden. He is awesome and‍ we ⁤are all​ so happy he⁤ is here!”⁣ They⁢ also mentioned that they will⁣ not be sharing any photos of their children for their safety and privacy.

This is not the⁤ first time the couple has kept their‌ family ⁣news under‍ wraps. They ‍tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Raddix ​in ⁢2019, ⁣only announcing her birth after the fact. In the birth announcement, Cameron Diaz wrote, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”

While the⁢ couple is overjoyed ‍with their new addition, they also feel a strong instinct to protect their children’s privacy. They have not shared any details about their son’s birth, but according to a source close to the couple, they went through a lot ⁤to ⁤have their daughter ​and consider her a miracle.

However, not everyone​ is supportive of their decision to have a ⁢child at ‌this point in ​their lives. Some have criticized Cameron’s age, with one Instagram user commenting, ⁣”Who the heck wants to become a parent at 51 yrs old?” But as with ⁣any decision, there will always be differing opinions.

Last year, Jake and Mary Jacobs celebrated their 70th anniversary of a happy marriage, but getting there wasn’t easy.

Mary, a White woman, and Jake, a Black man, resided in the same city in 1940s Britain, although Jake was one of the few black men there.

It would have been easy for Mary to leave, but despite her father’s commands to the contrary, she had fallen in love and would do anything to be with her lover.

“When I told my father I was going to marry Jake he said, ‘If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again.’”

At the same technical college where Mary was taking typing and shorthand classes and he was undergoing Air Force training, the pair had met when Jake immigrated from Trinidad during the war.

Jake struck up a conversation with Mary, who was then a resident of Lancashire, and she was impressed by his comprehension of Shakespeare.

He and his companion invited Mary and her friend to join them for a picnic, but a woman cycling by saw them and reported Mary to her father because she was horrified to see two English girls conversing with black guys. Mary was not allowed to visit her father again after he was startled.

When Jake returned to Trinidad they wrote to each other and a few years later he returned to the U.K. to get better paid work.

Jake surprised Mary by asking her to marry him; she was 19 years old and accepted but when she told her family they threw her out.

“I left with only one small suitcase to my name. No family came to our registry office wedding in 1948.”

Mary said while her father was ‘horrified’ that she could contemplate marrying a black man she didn’t realize that the rest of society felt the same way.

“The first years of our marriage living in Birmingham were hell — I cried every day, and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money.”

Even walking down the street together was difficult as people would point at them, Mary explained.

Mary fell pregnant and the couple enjoyed the excitement of knowing they would soon become parents but at 8 months she gave birth to a stillborn child.

“It wasn’t related to the stress I was under but it broke my heart, and we never had any more children,” she said.

Their lives did get easier with Mary working as a teacher and rising to assistant principle of a British school and Jake securing a job with the Post Office. They made new friends but Mary said she felt the need to explain to people that her husband was black before she introduced them to him.

“My father died when I was 30 and although we were reconciled by then, he never did approve of Jake,” she said.

 

Jake, who is 89 years old, and Mary, who is 84, currently reside in Solihull, a town south of Birmingham. They recently celebrated 70 years of marriage.

Jake claims he has no regrets, but he also claims that black youth today have no understanding how life was for him in 1940s Britain.

“When I arrived in the U.K. I was subjected to abuse every day. Once I was on a bus and a man rubbed his hands on my neck and said: ‘I wanted to see if the dirt would come off.

“And back then you couldn’t work in an office — because a black man in an office with all the white girls wasn’t thought to be safe.”

Despite all the challenges, bias, and abuse, the pair is still deeply in love and has no regrets about being married. They have been happily married for more than 70 years.

These two are a true inspiration, and I wish them a lifetime of pleasure because of the love they have for one another.

A married couple with a 61-year age gap have vowed to start a family – despite the 85-year-old husband being a decade older than his wife’s grandfather.

Miracle Pogue, 24, from Starkville, Mississippi, met husband Charles Pogue, 85, when she was working in a launderette in 2019 and the pair quickly formed a friendship.

Despite the 61-year age gap, the pair are looking into IVF in the hope of starting a family to ensure Charles, who doesn’t have any children, leaves behind a new generation.

Retired real estate agent Charles finally decided to admit his feelings for the nurse a year after they met and he proposed in February 2020.

Miracle says her mother Tamika Phillips, 45, and grandad Joe Brown, 72, were supportive of the relationship from the start after seeing how happy the pensioner made her but her dad Kareem Phillips, 47, was harder to convince.

Miracle said: ‘Charles used to bring in one item of clothing and only wanted me to serve him.

‘One day he waltzed in there and threw a piece of paper down and said “write down your number” like he’s a player. He was my knight in shining armour.

‘We had a good vibe going, he didn’t make me feel weird. It was good conversation, he made me feel comfortable. I knew he was older but I didn’t know his age exactly.

‘When I found out I was in too deep, it was a couple of months in and I already had feelings for him. He was my baby and he wasn’t going anywhere.

‘I found out in conversation when we asked each other our date of birth and he said he was born in 1937.

‘I never even placed his age, we just wanted to see how it went.

‘I don’t care if he’s 100 or 55, I like him for him. I thought he was maybe 60 or 70 because he looks so good. He’s always up and active.

‘My grandad said if I was happy and it’s what I want to do then he’s happy. My dad was like “hell no ma’am, not at all”.

‘It took a lot of time to convince him but I asked him if he wanted to lose his daughter forever.

‘If he didn’t come to my wedding, he would have lost me forever.

‘I told him I needed his support and to walk me down the aisle. Once he got to meet Charles and talk to him, he loved him.’

Charles said: ‘Miracle has got a lot going for her. She’s got her life in order, she’s great.

‘The wedding day was wonderful, it was the best day of my life. There’s no problem with the age difference.

‘People making comments online doesn’t make a difference, we just let them do their thing. We’re very happy together. We’re looking forward to starting a family together.’

The couple married in July last year and Miracle describes the day as ‘the best day’ of her life.

Despite the age difference, Miracle says she’s desperate to start a family with Charles and hopes to have two children despite knowing she is likely outlive him.

Miracle said: ‘I want him to have another generation. We’re looking to go to an IVF clinic to talk about our options.

‘We went to an IVF clinic before but we really felt the pre-judgment even though they don’t know me and it was quite overwhelming.

‘Now I’m forgetting it as long as they give me my baby. Maybe Charles’s age will stop us from having children but I have an open mind. It may not work.

‘I worry about Charles. At Thanksgiving he got Covid and I broke down. I prepared myself, but the way he gets up and goes every day, he’s not going anywhere.

‘We prepare for things and he says he might not be here in five years. I tell him he will and he’ll outlive us all.

‘I know realistically I’ll be around longer than him so I try to live and have fun and experience as much as I can with him. We try to live it up.’

Miracle claims her relationship has attracted a lot of negative attention online, with the couple often mistaken for father and daughter.

Miracle said: ‘One time we were going to Florida on vacation.

‘We were renting a car and the lady said “oh is this your dad” and I said “yes this is my dad, hey papa, daddy”. I’m a goofy person so I won’t get mad.

‘In public I don’t even care, I don’t think of it as being weird I just go about my day. People on the internet make me feel weird.

‘I get backlash from people who don’t know me or love me, they just call it as they see it. I posted my man online and it blew further than I could even imagine.

‘People were saying I’m using Charles, he doesn’t know what’s going on and saying I should be ashamed.

‘Of course, people mention finances but I’m a nurse. I was starting medical school when I met him.

‘I will be well off with or without Charles, it’s a choice to be with him and it makes me feel good that he chooses me.

‘It’s so crazy that people come after me, as he’s the older one. He’s with me of his own free will, he chose me. I’ve learned it’s OK for people to say how they feel, it’s a free country.

‘I have a lot of followers who are pro me and Charles. People say we look so good. People share their stories about their older men and say I make them feel comfortable in their skin.’

Commenters on TikTok debated whether Miracle is the age she claims, with one asking for evidence that she is 24.

One commenter wrote: ’24? No way. I’ve got to see proof and if you’re 24 I’ll never try to guess ages again.’ Another said: ’42 she meant.’

Miracle hit back insisting that she was born in 1998 and claims she may look older because she doesn’t dress ‘all out’.

Loved-up Miracle says she’s attracted to Charles’s laid-back nature but admits the age difference is stark when it comes to technology.

Miracle said: ‘I love his advice, I know I can go to Charles and ask him anything. I trust he’s not going to leave me in the dark, he’ll make sure I’m OK.

‘He’s peaceful, he’s so laidback, he doesn’t want to argue. I love to hear his stories.

‘I love to joke with him about technology. I will take a photo of a cheque and deposit it into my bank account. Charles doesn’t even have a bank card.

‘It’s so weird how he operates but I like how he takes it easy.

‘It’s a blessing to have someone you can talk to and confide in. I know our relationship looks weird and people think “what’s going on here?” but I know he got me and I got him.’

In the realm of celebrity culture, age often becomes a curious topic of discussion, especially when certain famous people seem to defy the conventional markers of time. Some celebrities are the same age but do not look like it.

The famed former host of The Tonight Show experienced a string of tragic occurrences in the latter half of 2022 that left him dealing with the fallout of not one, but two big events, leaving him with a variety of ailments dispersed across his body.

The first event happened the year before when the 73-year-old comedian became involved in a terrible car fire. Jay Leno was devotedly repairing one of his beloved antique cars in the limits of his Los Angeles residence’s garage.

He had no idea that this momentous day would live in his memories forever. He developed severe second and third-degree burns as a result of the terrible turn of events, forcing a nine-day stay at the renowned Grossman Burn Center in West Hills.

But the comedic character’s well-being seemed to be pursued by fate with unrelenting zeal.

Jay Leno was suffering from two cracked ribs and a shattered collarbone after he was involved in an accident while riding his motorcycle.

Despite a series of mishaps, the comedian’s unflappable spirit never wavered; now, he hosts the riveting shows Jay Leno’s Garage and the NBC game show You Bet Your Life.

Leno revealed details about his retirement intentions or lack thereof, and the events that would make him decide to leave public life in an exclusive interview during the Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge premiere.

Firmly rooted in his dedication to the late-night industry, the seasoned host made it clear that he wanted to carry on with his career, refusing to consider retirement unless fate delivered him an unanticipated blow in the shape of a stroke. He stated bluntly, “Then you slow down.”

He made a solid commitment to follow his chosen course until his health forbade it, saying, “That’s when you retire when you have your stroke.” As he admirably recovered from his recent incidents, Jay Leno’s extraordinary fortitude was on display.

After a lengthy hospital stay that included a demonstration of grafting techniques, he didn’t waste any time getting back behind the wheel and even visiting the sites of his unfortunate collisions.

At the exclusive Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California, where he stunned spectators with his victorious return to the stage, a sold-out crowd greeted him with loud acclaim.

The amiable host acknowledged the occupational risks of working on cars during an interview held a month after the traumatic tragedy as she reflected on the car fire incident.

He remarked, “When you work with cars, you have a lot of accidents,” stressing that the size of this catastrophe exceeded most incidents.

He stated up front, “I knew how close I was to the pilot light, and I thought, ‘Uh oh.’”

He stressed that it felt like his face was on fire and compared the experience to getting the worst possible sunburn. Jay Leno endured two difficult skin grafting procedures while he was in the hospital, which were necessary to encourage the development of healthier, more youthful skin.

In order to improve tissue oxygenation, a crucial step in the healing process, he also participated in sessions in hyperbaric chambers.

Unusually, he made the decision to abstain from painkillers throughout this experience, seeing their use as a painful reminder of his error in judgment and as a way to detach from his situation.

The outpouring of love from his family and well-known friends was evidence of Jay Leno’s significant influence throughout his lengthy career.

His devoted 43-year-old wife, Mavis, recalled heartfelt acts of support from influential people in the field throughout his time in the burn center.

“John Travolta gave me a big Italian basket,” she said, “Tom Selleck sent me an exquisite bouquet, and Russell Crowe took the time to reach out from Australia.”

The couple was extremely moved by these displays of devotion as they were witnesses to the depth of friendship they had developed over the course of their illustrious lives.

While fame and notoriety can be a lot of fun – think endless streams of money, flashy red carpet events, mingling with society’s elite – living in the public eye comes with its share of scrutiny and judgment.

This is something Paris Hilton has experienced firsthand throughout her life in the spotlight.

However, things took a nasty turn recently when cruel internet trolls attacked her baby son’s appearance.

Recently, the reality TV star turned businesswoman found herself defending her 9-month-old son, Phoenix Barron, when negative comments surfaced on her social media regarding his head size.

Paris, who is known for her unwavering confidence, didn’t hesitate to assert herself and protect her firstborn child.

Paris and her husband, Carter Reum, welcomed Phoenix into their lives with the assistance of a surrogate earlier this year, marking their first child together (Carter has a daughter named Evie from a previous relationship). As new parents, they have been navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood with love and devotion.

Recently, the young family took a trip to New York, with Paris posting a photo of herself holding her son.

In the comments section, people had some pretty cruel things to say about the size of Phoenix’s head. Hurtful comments like “Man got a lot of thoughts up there” and “I heard this baby was created in a lab. And she didn’t carry it” appeared, with others chiming in with their own negative thoughts.

The internet gives many bullies or unhappy people a place to attack strangers with their words. Certain people tend to be the most common targets, even today.

It seems as though many get some kind of pleasure in hurting others with their words and using technology, and this is no exception.

The difference in this story is that the victim has been able to speak up and confront those who tried to hurt her.

Jennifer Knapp Wilkinson was shopping in her local Walmart as usual one day when she lost her balance. She fell and tried to catch herself on nearby shelving but struggled, especially because she is bound to a scooter.

Jennifer was able to right herself despite the lack of people around her.

Unfortunately, Jennifer was to find out that she was not as alone as she thought. Instead of helping her when she fell or checking to see if she was okay, a stranger decided to take a picture of her fall and share it online.

Users everywhere came to the post to mock her for being obese and for falling. Many reacted with surprising anger, calling a woman they did not even know all sorts of names and descriptors.

They poked at her weight, called her lazy, and blatantly took joy in her misfortune.

Of course, these people knew nothing about Jennifer, who is a full-time mom with health issues and a love of crocheting. They also did not know that Jennifer is not afraid to fight back.

Many people would shrink away from conflict when so many unknown users are piling in on them with hate. Jennifer, however, decided to stand up for herself.

Knowing that this would bring even more attention to the photo cruelly taken without her knowledge, she proceeded.

“The reason I am sharing this is because people think it is funny to laugh at people with disabilities,” she explains in her post.

Jennifer confronted the accusations of her being “lazy” by explaining that her spinal condition, spondylolisthesis, which sometimes causes pain and weakness in the legs.

The longer Jennifer stands, therefore, the more likely she is to fall–something she is used to.

She goes on to explain that on the day in question, she was feeling particularly weak and in pain. Her mental health was similarly poor at the time, but she still went food shopping for her family.

While attempting to pick up a case of soda for her husband, she slipped and fell hard. She thought she heard giggling nearby but thought nothing of it, as she is sadly used to rude people making fun of her in public.

“You can not see my disabilities but they are there and they are real. So next time you see photos making fun of people just remember you know nothing about these people or the struggles they face every day. It is never just harmless fun to laugh at someone.”

Jennifer also condemns the picture itself, saying, “My main point in this answer is I did not choose to be photographed at a low point in my life.”

She continues confronting the accusations of laziness and assumptions of “choosing” to be overweight or physically impaired.

Perhaps most importantly, she reminds everyone: “Obese people are treated as less than human and as something to ridicule. I just want people to be aware that fat people are people too.”

She finishes by explaining that she is not seeking any kind of apologies or pity, but simply trying to encourage understanding and compassion.

“I am a person, please treat me like one!”

Her road to success, however, was littered with unpleasant surprises that changed both her career and her personal life.One of her earliest career milestones was her debut in the comedic TV show “Gidget” from 1965 to 1966 as a young actress.

Despite the show’s short lifespan, Sally relished the thrill of filming it, and it gave her access to a wide range of options, catapulting her to fame in Hollywood.Her achievement was greatly influenced by her drive and perseverance. Sally had a difficult childhood in part because of her stepfather, but she found solace and an escape by trying out for a Columbia Pictures acting school.

It’s been two years since we lost legendary actress and singer Doris Day who passed away at the age of 97 after becoming one of the biggest stars during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

As well as appearing in almost 30 movies, she released more than 650 songs between 1947 and 1967 and received many awards for her dedication to music and movies including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But why? Let’s find out.

There are so many reasons to love Doris Day: he talent, her love for animals, and her humility.

In her 50-year career, Doris was well-loved and highly regarded for her film work. She made her name after starring in such movies as Pillow Talk, Love Me or Leave Me, and The Man Who Knew Too Much.

The 97-year-old married four times but only had one child. Terry Mulcher, Day’s son via first husband Al Jorden, died in 2004 of melanoma.

As well as achieving fame on the silver screen, Day was also a prominent animal rights activist. She was a very compassionate person who fought for animals without a voice.

Doris was also a Grammy-winning singer.

Her songs Sentimental Journey, Secret Love, and Que Sera Sera were all inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, while her work with animals culminated in the formation of the Doris Day Animal Foundation.

In 2019, Doris Day sadly passed away at her home in Carmel Valley, California. She died after contracting pneumonia and her death was announced by her charity, the Doris Day Animal Foundation which added that as per the star’s request there would be no funeral services, grave marker, or other public memorials.

Instead, she was cremated and had her ashes scattered.

According to her close friend and manager Bob Bashara, she didn’t want to discuss the prospect of a funeral because she struggled with death.

And there was a genuine reason for her final wishes.

“She didn’t like death, and she couldn’t be with her animals if they had to be put down. She had difficulty accepting death,” he said in a 2019 interview with People.

“I’d say we need to provide for her dogs [after she died], and she’d say, ‘I don’t want to think about it’ and she said, ‘Well, you just take care of them,’” recalls Bashara.

“She had several when her will was written, and she wanted to be sure they were taken care of. She didn’t like to talk about the dogs dying.”

From the early 70s Day was an avid campaigner for animal rights denouncing the wearing of fur and setting up the Doris Day Animal Foundation.

In 2020 she auctioned more than 1,000 of her possessions raising $3 million for the cause and even helped to set up a Horse Rescue and Adoption Center, which helps abused and neglected horses, in Texas.

Day was brought up Catholic and was a practicing Christian Scientist after marrying producer Martin Melcher.

Her only child Terrence “Terry” Paul Jorden was born during her first marriage to trombonist Al Jorden who she met when she was 16. Jorden later changed his name to Terrence Paul Melcher when he was adopted by Day’s third husband film producer Martin Melcher.

Day “drifted away” from organized religion after Melcher died in 1968, Bashara told People, but remained “a spiritual person.”

“She believed in God, and she thought her voice was God-given,” he says. “She would say, ‘God gave me a voice, and I just used it.’”

Day retired from acting in the early 70s but did return for two TV shows. Then in 1985 she hosted her own television talk show “Doris Day’s Best Friends”, on the Christian Broadcasting Network which ran for a year.

Her friend and manager Bashara says he remains unsure as to why Day was reluctant to have a funeral, but explains, “I think it was because she was a very shy person.”

He said Day knew her fans loved her from the letters she received but never understood why so many people loved her.

“She never let her celebrity affect her and who she was, and she was always the little girl from Cincinnati who was extraordinarily talented and went out in the world and did what she loved to do despite herself,” he says.

She was cremated and had her ashes scattered.

Her estate was donated to charity.

We all have to come to terms with death in our own way and everyone’s wishes must be respected.
