Pauley Perrette left the world of crime solving on ‘NCIS’ following several distasteful incidents. Instead, she now focuses her time on comedy and helping both people and animals in need. 

Suffice to say, the 52-year-old has had a long and successful career. However, everything could’ve ended a year ago when – as Perrette described it herself – she “cheated death.” Through social media, the actress revealed that she suffered a “massive” stroke, and gave her fans a new health update.

Pauley Perrettte starred as Abby Sciuto on NCIS for 15 seasons. Sadly, her ending on the show was quite acrimonious.

Pauley Perrette as Abby Sciuto on ‘NCIS’

In 2017, she announced she was leaving NCIS. Then, just days later, she took to Twitter, where she implied she’d left the show due to “multiple physical” offenses. According to several news outlets, Perrette and Harmon’s relationship had turned rather icy due to a dog bite on set.

Via Twitter, she shared an emotional farewell:

“I hope everyone will love and enjoy EVERYTHING ABBY not only for the rest of this season but for everything she has given all of us for 16 years,” Perrette wrote. “All the love, all the laughter, all the inspiration…I love her as much as you do.” 

Saying goodbye to a character she had played for over a decade wasn’t easy for Perrette. Speaking with CBS Sunday Morning, the actress said she felt down about her departure from the popular show.

“It makes me sad to imagine a world without Abby in it. It really makes me sad,” Perrette said.

“I’m still grieving. It feels differently every day, and it’s sad. I usually cry in my car every day when I drive to work. And then I usually cry on my way home at some point. And then I take a deep breath and I go, ‘Alright’.”

In 2019, she wrote on Twitter that she was “never going back to NCIS“, adding that she was “terrified” of lead actor Mark Harmon.

Is Pauley Perrette returning to ‘NCIS’?

Yet though Pauley made it clear that she never wants to return to NCIS, series boss Steven D Binder suggested that there might be a way to bring back the fan favorite in the future.

Binder said fans would start seeing her presence more in the coming seasons. Moreover, the showrunner added that they want to acknowledge her legacy on the show.

“I’d like to start feeling her [presence] a little more. I thought we were a little remiss in not [doing that sooner], but there are so many moving parts,” Binder said.

“But she is still out there fighting the good fight and watching us, and she is a part of us and we’re a part of her.”

Now, Pauley’s been through a lot during the last decade, and though she’s not defined by it, NCIS definitely played a big part in shaping her.

“This show restored my faith in people, in this industry. SO GRATEFUL I worked with this cast & crew,” she wrote on Twitter“Best people I’ve EVER worked with. Healed me. Changed me. Made me whole. So Blessed.”

Speaking with USA Today, she declined to discuss her tweets further.

“That is a part of my past now, and it’s nothing that I have any need to talk about again, other than one thing: I’m certainly grateful for having the opportunity to play that character and I always will be,” she said.

“It makes me sad to imagine a world without Abby”

While Perrette felt like saying goodbye to NCIS was the right thing to do, leaving a workplace where she’d spent 15 years of her life wasn’t easy.

In fact, as she told CBS, Pauley was very emotional as the end of her time on the successful television show approached.

“I, like, usually cry in my car every single day when I drive to work,” she told CBS. “And I usually cry on my way home at some point. And then I take a deep breath, and I go, ‘All right,’ you know?”

“It makes me sad to imagine a world without Abby in it,” Pauley continued. “It really makes me sad. … Abby made science cool and attainable for young women. And this television character did more than encourage it. It made it cool, it made it exciting, it made it fun.”

At the same time, her period on the show left her with several great friends. Since last year, she’s back with the CBS Network, starring in the comedy show Broke.

“Michael Weatherly [starring as Anthony DiNozzo on NCIS] is like my brother,” Perrette said.

“I love him more than anything on the planet Earth. He’s awesome. And CBS is home to me. The network and the studio has always been really, really good to me.”

Pauley has proven herself to be a person who cares about others and who certainly wants to give back to the people that helped her earlier in her career.

Philanthropic work

The celebrated forensic scientist studied at both Valdosta State University and John Jay College. In 2018, she shared that she’d created two scholarships to benefit female students majoring in criminal justice. She wants women to follow in Abby’s footsteps and pursue a career in science and math.

“Abby is not just a TV character for people,” Perrette told People. “These young girls have modeled their entire lives off of her. It’s like Abby has raised a couple of generations of young girls and has inspired this international phenomenon of young women going into math and science and STEM programs because she made it accessible, cool, attainable and fun.”

As it turns out, not only does Paulet do plenty to help humans, but also animals.

In 2013, she received the Tom Mankiewicz Leadership Award from tthe LA Zoo. Perrette supports several animal causes, and all three of her dogs are rescues.

“I’m so obsessed with animals,” Perrette told the Wall Street Journal.

“So much so that my [NCIS] producers started giving Abby scenes with animals.”

So what is Pauley up to now? She was back in television comedy with Broke, though that show was labeled as a “limited series.” The last episode aired in May of 2020. As of today, no new credits have been added to Pauley’s name.

Pauley Perrette suffered ‘massive’ stroke

Perrette has plenty of experience working in comedy, having featured in both Frasier and The Drew Carey Show. So it was the perfect time for her to do a comedy show again.

“It’s such a weird time for everybody,” she told USA Today. “I was already so excited about people seeing our show because it’s my favorite show I’ve ever done, so funny, sweet and awesome. But now I’m really excited in a whole other way. I feel people need this right now. It really makes people happy, When we’re in times like these, when your job is specifically to bring people joy, that’s a great job.”

On September 2, though, Pauley announced some chilling news. Through her Twitter account, the former NCIS star revealed that she suffered a life-threatening stroke last year.

“It’s 9/2. One year ago I had a massive stoke [sic],” Perrette wrote. “Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends …Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I’ve been given so far.”

“How many times do I cheat death?” Perrette asked in a video she included in the post, adding that she lost her dad and cousin before the medical event.

“I’ve been through a lot in the last two years — things that are harder than having a stroke,” she said. “But I’m still here and I’m so grateful. And thank you, those of you who are my friends. Thank you. God bless you all. I’m still here.”

New health update

In an interview with Entertainment Now, the 53-year-old actress recalled the terrifying moment she had her stroke.

“I woke up and had no feeling on the entire right side of my body,” Perrette said. “At first I thought I had just slept funny. When I kept realizing the extent of the numbness; couldn’t feel my finger touching my face, couldn’t feel my face being touched by my finger, couldn’t feel my laptop sitting on my lap, no feeling at all on the right hand side — I could have burned myself or cut my finger off and wouldn’t have known — I called my doctor and he said, ‘GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.’”

At first, she was hesitant of following the doctor’s advice. The former NCIS star wanted to speak to her therapist – who also is a neurologist – first. But the doctor told her to head straight for the ER.

“Walked into the ER and said, ‘Hey, I can’t feel the right hand side of my body and…’ BAM! OMG! I was on a gurney with a million things stuck in my arms and a bunch of medical people rushing me somewhere,” Perrette recalled. “They know how serious a stroke is and how immediate care is imperative.”

Today, one year later, Pauley Perrette is gladly doing very well. Speaking to People, she wants to raise awareness about strokes, and how they can happen to anyone, no matter what age.

“I am doing great and am super healthy now,” Perrette told the outlet. “I want to thank everyone for their concern and take this opportunity to really plead for everyone to educate themselves on the signs of a stroke and the importance of getting medical help immediately.”

“Also that you can have a stroke AT ANY AGE, which I did not know. Teenagers can have a stroke,” she added.

Pauley Perettes’ dark love life

Pauley had a strong fanbase while starring as forensic scientist Abby Sciutto on NCIS. She has maintained that fanbase with new projects, but the actress has maintained a strict private life outside the spotlight.

In 2000, Perrette wed musician Coyote Shivers. The couple’s union lasted until 2004, before they finalized their divorce.

As per reports, their divorce wasn’t a simply affair at all. In fact, even their marriage turned dark in 2004. Perrette went even as far as taking out formal restraining orders against her husband, claiming that Shivers stalked her.

“I have a permanent restraining order, but those can only do so much,” she said in a 2018 interview with 48 Hours, as quoted by People.

“The biggest problem we have right now is that the stalking laws have not been updated since the internet,” she added.

“That is just ridiculous because a lot of stalkers use the internet, that’s their main tool. There’s a lot we have to get changed but especially internet stalking laws.”

A couple of years after the split from Shivers, Pauley dated cameraman Michael Bosman. The two got engaged, but they never married.

“I don’t have to have a boyfriend”

Pauley also got engaged to former British Royal Marine Thomas Arklie. They were to tie the knot, though decided to not get married until California’s Proposition 8 – eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry – was abolished.

It’s not clear why or when the couple split. However, reports suggest they went separate ways in late 2016 or early 2017.

In 2018, in an interview with CBS, Pauley said she wasn’t looking for a partner anytime soon.

“Tried it. Not for me. Not at all,” the actress stated. “Probably the best decision I ever made in my life was the time that it took me to go like, ‘Wait a minute. This is silly. I don’t have to have a boyfriend, or a husband, or a girlfriend, or anything, you know?’”

Perrette added: “I don’t need any of that. Like, I do whatever I want. I do whatever I want. And I think that is rad!”

Larry Birkhead and his daughter Dannielynn continue to capture the hearts of many with their shared moments, recently highlighted by a photograph that showcases their uncanny resemblance.

Social media has been abuzz with fans’ remarks about the father-daughter pair that is Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn Smith, with one fan stating, “Dannielynn looks so much like you; she could be your twin.” Other comments focus on her being the “spitting image of her dad” while some reflect on her “beautiful smile” and note that she “looks more and more like her beautiful mom.” However, one fan thought she “looks nothing like Anna Nicole.

Birkhead has taken to Instagram to share these tender snapshots of life with Dannielynn, who is growing up to mirror both of her parents in different ways. While fans have long noted the physical similarities Dannielynn shares with her father, Birkhead has observed that Dannielynn resembles her late mother, Anna Nicole Smith, particularly when she experiments with makeup, bringing a touch of Smith’s glamour to her appearance.

Away from the glitz of public life, Birkhead prioritizes a normal life for Dannielynn, carefully shielding her from the media’s constant attention. He intends to preserve her youth, allowing her to grow up at her own pace without the pressures that fame can often bring. Their annual attendance at the Kentucky Derby is a poignant tribute to Dannielynn’s mother, a tradition steeped in personal significance and cherished memories as this is where Birkhead and Smith met.

You never really expect to see a news channel showing their anchors lead prayer on air because, usually, channels will want to keep things secular for their viewers. Fox News host Pete Hegseth, however, had some other ideas.

“We have more ‘Fox and Friends’ coming up, but you know what, this is a transition for transitions if you’ve ever had one,” he said as he laughed.

Weekend co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy then joined in and said, “So ‘Fox and Friends.’”

“This is very ‘Fox and Friends,’” Hegseth concurred, “so ready your heart.”

“It’s the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our prayer series continues with the reading of prayer from the Hallow app,” Hegseth went on. “We all need it, let’s do it this morning, close your eyes — if you would, bow your head.”

He then began reading the prayer on-screen from the Hallow app while his co-hosts Campos-Duffy and Will Cain bowed their heads in respect.

“Jesus, today we begin the holy period of passion tide,” Hegseth read. “In these last 2 weeks of Lent, help us understand the mystery of your sacrifice and surrender, make us keenly aware of your love for us. We ask that you make yourself known to us, help us to feel the grace of your presence.”

Hegseth thanked Christ for the “selfless love you showed on the cross” before he concluded by saying, “Thank you again to Hallow for this partnership during Lent.”

“Amen,” Campos-Duffy chimed in.

According to the Huffington Post, Fox News aired a part of the segment on Ash Wednesday in regards to the Hallow app. In connection with the sponsorship, actor Mark Wahlberg was invited as a guest.

This is not the first time a Fox News host has expressed their faith on-air. Previously on a segment concerning Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, host Kayleigh McEnany said, “I really believe he thinks God is leading the way — this will all get figured out.”

“To everyone out there, pray for him as our speaker,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt said on the same episode of Johnson. “Our country really needs some guidance from God right now.”

While every American has the freedom to practice religion, it seems that this prayer on-air might have offended some people. One person commented, “These people don’t praise God the rest of time. It’s a political stunt to make you believe they do. Fox news spreads falsehoods and conspiracy theories, remember they paid a hefty fine for doing so. Hypocrisy at its best!!”

While another added, “about as religious as a rock.” Another disgruntled viewer wrote, “These people praying is a joke. They sit there everyday and lie threw their mouths. You never hear the truth about anything. So please give me a break.”

It seems not everyone was convinced by the prayer, believing it to be manufactured, But there were dozens of people who thought it was a great initiative!

The arrival of a baby is always a cause for celebration, especially when it’s time to meet them face to face after months of anticipation. Ultrasounds offer glimpses of our little ones in the womb, but nothing compares to the moment when we finally hold them in our arms.

Babies often surprise us with their unique features, from a head full of hair to adorable dimples. But perhaps the most surprising twist occurs when a baby looks nothing like their parents.

Rachel, a cashier at Celina 52 Truck Stop in Tennessee, welcomed her son, Cash Jamal Buckman, into the world on February 17. However, what caught people’s attention was the fact that Rachel and her fiancé, Paul Buckman, are both white, while Cash appears to be Black.

The truck stop shared a photo of the happy family on Facebook, congratulating Rachel on her new arrival.

“Congratulations to our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on their baby Cash Jamal Buckman being [born] on Saturday at 6:18pm,” the post read.

Credit: Facebook.
However, instead of receiving well-wishes, the post garnered comments questioning Cash’s paternity, with some suggesting that Paul might not be the biological father.

In response to the speculation, Celina 52 Truck Stop edited their post, adding: “Yes, Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA in her which can skip generations and cause a child to be born with darker skin.”

They also mentioned the possibility of Cash having jaundice, a common condition in newborns, and concluded the post with: “Please be kind.”

Despite the truck stop’s explanation, doubts and jokes continued to circulate online.

One person wrote: “Congratulations!!! I AM sure he looks just like his dad. Where is he?”

Another added: “Definitely needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the nursery?”

At the same time, some people expressed sympathy for Paul, with a further user commenting: “I feel sorry for Paul, being duped like this is a whole new level of creep. Hopefully he’ll wise up.”

Rachel then decided to take matters into her own hands, sharing her alleged DNA results on Facebook to prove her ancestry.

“For the haters saying that I [don’t] have black DNA maybe this will clear it up straight from my ancestry DNA results !!!! NOW STOP slandering mine and my [fiancé] Paul Buckman name. he IS the father of Lil Cash,” she wrote.

However, the jokes persisted, with many poking fun at the situation and questioning the validity of the test results.

“That’s the strongest 1% I’ve ever seen … this looks like a job for Maury,” someone commented.

Another user with similar DNA chimed in with: “I have that too … and both my babies still look Irish as a boiled potato.”

The story quickly gained traction on social media, with thousands sharing their opinions and reactions. TikTokers also joined the conversation, adding their own humorous takes on the situation.

As speculation continued to swirl, Celina 52 Truck Stop announced that they would be conducting polygraph and DNA tests on their employees. The news only added fuel to the fire, leaving many eagerly awaiting the outcome of the investigation.

While the truth remains unknown, one thing is for sure: this unexpected twist has captured the attention of many, turning a routine birth announcement into a viral sensation!

Tom Cruise may finally have found real love again 15 years after his divorce from Katie Holmes, with reports suggesting his romance with Elsina Khayrova, 36, is serious.

Late last year we reported on rumors that Cruise was besotted with his new Russian socialite girlfriend after they were seen together at a party in Mayfair, London. At the time, the pair were said to have been “inseparable.”.

That followed Cruise’s name being mentioned in the same space as Columbian pop icon Shakira (herself a recent divorcee), and then again with Mission: Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell. Neither rumor, however, seemed to hold much weight.

If new reports are to be believed then it’s time to lay such gossip to rest once and for all, with insiders revealing that Cruise and Khayrova are now officially an item.

“It’s well known within Elsina’s circle that she and Tom are now an item,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“They’ve grown very close over the past few weeks but take a lot of care not to be photographed together because they want to maintain their privacy,” the source continued, claiming that Cruise has been sleeping at Khayrova’s $12 million apartment.

The insider went on: “Tom has been staying the night at Elsina’s apartment, which as you can imagine, is a very beautiful place. They enjoy hanging out together and despite their wealth, do a lot of the things that normal couples do.”

That said, the couple are believed to want to keep their relationship private as stands, and so haven’t been spotted posing for photos together.

Khayrova is a former model who holds British citizenship and divorced from her business tycoon ex-husband, Dmitry Tsvetkov, last year.

Her name hit the headlines in 2022 when she appeared in court while being ordered to pay a hefty fee to the tune of £117,000 ($149,50) to a company who had installed fountains in one of her and her ex-spouse’s homes.

Cruise, meanwhile, has been married three times, first to Mimi Rogers between 1987 and 1990, then to Nicole Kidman for 11 years between 1990 and 2001.

The actor and Scientologist was most recently married to Katie Holmes between 2006 and 2012, but has remained single since their split.

According to the Daily Mail, Khayrova’s ex-husband had a warning for Tom Cruise, and indeed anyone else who might date his former partner in the future.

“Irrespective of whoever she’s with, Tom Cruise or anybody else, they should be aware that she likes the finer things in life and has expensive and luxurious taste. Tom should keep his eyes and wallet wide open,” Tsvetkov told the Mail.

Transcending generations and standing, a touching bond between a young girl and Kate Middleton has come full circle after it became known that the Princess of Wales is now dealing with health issues of her own.

Mila Sneddon battled cancer until the disease went into remission and she rang the bell, exactly two years before Kate Middleton’s diagnosis with a variant of the disease went public. The coincidence, however, does not give away that there is much more to their story, which led to a touching reciprocation of kindness.

When the 8-year-old heard that the Princess of Wales was battling cancer, she sent her a message of support.

“She will be brave because I was and she will fight it like I did,” young Mila reportedly said. The young girl’s mom, Lynda, also had words of kindness to offer the Princess.

“She is a mum, a wife, she is young, beautiful, athletic and she is facing this. It shows cancer doesn’t discriminate, it can affect anyone at any time. We wish her a peaceful and speedy recovery,” she added.

Mila was four when she was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia. During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2019, Kate Middleton saw a striking photograph of Mila as she looked at her dad, Scott, through a window during a chemotherapy treatment. It was the beginning of a special bond.

The Princess of Wales asked if she could meet young Mila, and the picture was then chosen to feature in Kate’s book, “Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020.” Kind words from Kate followed, “I hope she feels better soon and I wish her a speedy recovery.”

Mila and Kate met twice before she was declared cancer-free in 2022. Once at the annual Westminster Abbey Christmas Concert in 2021, and earlier that year when Mila met with the Princess at the Queen’s official Edinburgh home, Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Thoughtfully, Kate wore a dress in Mila’s favorite color, pink, and she even got a butler to bring the youngster cereal when she mentioned being hungry. However, it’s not these details that stuck with Mila, as she said, “It was so good, I’ve never met a real princess in my life before.”

The next time the pair communicated was right after Mila rang the bell at the Team Jack Cancer Centre in April 2022. Kate sent the young girl a handwritten letter, which Mila and her family were “very grateful to receive.”

“Such a beautiful keepsake for Mila to look back on for many years to come (content of which will not be disclosed) such a lovely gesture thank you Catherine Duchess of Cambridge❤️,” Mila’s mom, Lynda wrote on social media.

The Princess’ actions made a lasting impression on Mila, who wanted to send her a card as soon as she heard about Kate’s newly announced health issues.

“Mila will make contact in her own private way. Kate showed Mila such compassion, care, and support both during and post-treatment, so it’s been very emotional to see she is now facing her own health struggles,” Lynda explained.

Lynda, and her family, living in Stenhousemuir, Scotland, are “completely behind” the Princess and wish her “the very best” as she navigates this tough journey.

We have nothing but admiration for her to have been able to come out and publicly tell her story,” Lynda added.

Mila’s mother also gushed about Kate’s demeanor every time they had contact with each other. “We always got that impression from her when we met her, that she is a wife and mother first before any status. When we met her, she was incredibly engaging and down-to-earth. You almost forgot who she was,” Lynda elaborated.

While Mila has reached out with the same kindness the Princess has shown her, social media users have expressed their concern following Kate’s cancer diagnosis announcement.

As previously reported on March 22, through a heartfelt video message, she shared her cancer diagnosis with the world and the onset of her treatment journey. The specific type of cancer remains undisclosed, underscoring the royal family’s request for medical privacy during this challenging time.

Kate’s health concerns initially came to light following an announcement from Kensington Palace in January about her undergoing “planned abdominal surgery” at The London Clinic. Initially thought to be non-cancerous, the surgery’s aftermath revealed a starkly different reality. The Duchess is now undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy, a decision made following the discovery of cancer post-operation.

In the emotional video, Kate expressed gratitude towards the flood of support and well-wishes she has received, acknowledging the immense challenge the past few months have presented not only for her but for her entire family. “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” she shared, revealing the sudden shift in her health narrative and the start of her chemotherapy treatment.

Kensington Palace has been measured in its updates, focusing on Kate’s right to privacy while also acknowledging the public’s concern and affection for the Duchess. They’ve stated that Kate is in good spirits, focusing on her recovery with hopes of resuming her royal duties once medically advisable.

Following the announcement, social media platforms have been alight with messages of support, admiration, and well-wishes for Kate. Many commend her bravery for facing her diagnosis so publicly, acknowledging the personal difficulty of discussing such a deeply personal matter.

Comments range from personal stories of battling cancer to heartfelt wishes for her speedy recovery. “Wow she looks so tired “, one of the users reacted. Other people commented: “Wishing you the best as you heal”, “Sending so much love Kate sorry you have been hounded going threw this you didn’t deserve that”.

Kidman and Cruise were one of Hollywood’s power couples. The “Top Gun” star cast her for one of his movies, “Days of Thunder,” and Kidman fell in love instantly, “I was totally smitten—I fell madly, passionately in love,” she admitted.

Cruise and Kidman got married in 1990, and after ten years, they crushed the hopes of many fans when they announced their divorce. The news came when the couple had just renewed their vows and celebrated a decade of being together.

Two months after celebrating their marriage with friends and family, Cruise sprung the divorce on Kidman. The “The Undoing” star was just as shocked as the fans because everything seemed perfect a few weeks prior. “I thought our life together was perfect,” the actress expressed.

The “Mission: Impossible” actor did not go into detail about the reason behind ending his marriage, but he said, “Nic knows why.

The couple had also survived two miscarriages. Kidman revealed that at the beginning of their union, she suffered an ectopic pregnancy, and towards the end, she miscarried.

Following her ordeals, Kidman was told that her chances of conceiving were slim. The whole experience was traumatic for the actress, but while she tried to wrap her head around two failed pregnancies, the divorce added more stress. “It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system,” she confessed.

The actress tried her best to save her marriage, but Cruise did not back down. He filed for divorce in 2001 and shut down any hopes of them working out.

Cruise and Kidman might not have welcomed biological children together, but they adopted two kids. Their daughter Isabella arrived in 1992, and their son, Connor, in 1995.

Nicole Kidman Found Love and Fell Pregnant at 40
Kidman might have been heartbroken, but she was hopeful that things would get better. “What will be will be. It’s in God’s hands,” she expressed. The actress eventually found the happiness she longed for when she and her husband, Urban, met at an event in Los Angeles in 2005.

Kidman described her husband as a caring man who made her feel secure. The two fell in love and have been inseparable ever since. They tied the knot in 2006 in Sydney.

After becoming husband and wife, they started their family in Nashville, which Kidman thought was rural at first. In their first year of marriage, they moved to a farm and lived in a big gray house with a pool, a tennis court, and a movie theatre.

Nashville became a special place when their first daughter Sunday was born in 2008. Falling pregnant with her daughter was life-changing for Kidman, who thought bearing her own children would never be in her cards. “It was a miracle…” the actress believed.

Even though falling pregnant at 40 was not easy for her, Kidman said she was open to speaking about it to let other women with similar experiences know they were not alone.

“Having my baby has been a healing experience,” gushed Kidman. Two years later, the couple expanded their family and welcomed another daughter, Faith, via a surrogate.

Starting a family unlocked different interests for Kidman. When she was not busy shooting movies, she would host weekly playdates with mothers and their children.

Now that her children are growing, Kidman is focused on staying healthy and living longer. Since she had a child a bit older, she explained, “I want to be able to take care of them… That’s a big part of it when you have children when you’re older.”

However, the actress shows no signs of stopping. She is still working hard, making movies, and being ranked as one of the best actors in Hollywood, all while being the best mother and wife she can be.

Son renovated the parents’ ugly bathroom and made them the happiest in the world! 🛁🧰He took the situation into his own hands and shared the incredible transformation! 👏😍 See the final results in this article! 👇👇👇

 

To say that renovation requires specific skills, financial stability and patience is to say nothing. Today’s phenomenal transformation was carried out by a 22-year-old boy who was horrified by his parents’ bathroom and decided to radically renovate it.

 

The first task was to assess the condition of the walls. The tiles on there were still serviceable, but what concerns the flooring and communications, they definitely required significant changes. A brand new bathtub and taps replaced the old plumbing.

The guy added lighting and ventilation as well. He carefully chose white tiles for the walls which made the space visually bigger. The necessary parts were a heated towel rail and a cabinet for bathroom accessories.

Given the fact that the bathroom had an unusual shape and there was limited space, he created an additional shelf above the toilet which helped optimize the space. Finally, the new bathroom was ready.  He has golden hands. Do you like it?

A student turned the miserable dorm into a dream house and showed what it looks like now😱😱😱

Moving from our home may lead us to face difficulties and challenges that are quite expected in the adult life. We realize that the clothes are not always clean, there is not always food in the fridge and it is us who should earn money.

Especially when you are a student, you don’t have many options. You are most likely not able to afford to rent a house, but have to live in a dorm where the conditions of living often leave a lot to be desired.

When you want to live better at any cost!

The girl of today’s incredible story was literally left speechless when she first saw her room in a dormitory. To say that she was strongly dissatisfied is actually nothing to say. Having no other choice, she decided to fix all that on her own.

It was so bad that she didn’t even want to touch anything. Living in such miserable conditions seemed something unbearable and challenging.

First and foremost, she picked a pencil and drew what she needed for the renovation. Then she rushed to shops so as to obtain everything necessary.

She quickly got rid of all the old wallpaper and painted the walls. She chose the white color since it is always modern and creates a special atmosphere.

Then, she radically transformed the wardrobe and now it looked completely new.

Later, she created her own small place and put her makeup products and books there. To say that the room has changed beyond recognition is nothing to say.

  

This is how a miserable dorm has changed into a dream house.

 

It has just come to light that Bruce Willis intends to give his three oldest children “$1 million each,” which is thought to be just 1% of his rumoured $250 million wealth.

This comes after Willis’s family recently announced the actor has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. He had previously been diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive communication disorder last March.

We all know who Willis is, the sixty-seven-year-old actor is one of Hollywood’s most recognisable performers after appearing in hits such as Pulp Fiction and Die Hard.

He’s also been very public with his personal life over the years, and in the late 1980s, Willis wed Demi Moore after which the two later had three children together: Rumer, 34, Scout LaRue, 31, and Tallulah, 29.

Following the breakup of his relationship with Moore in 1998, Willis married 44-year-old model Emma Heming in 2009.

They later had two daughters of their own, Evelyn Penn, 8, and Mabel Ray, 10.

Now it’s been revealed how much he’s planning to leave them in his will.

Speaking about his illness last March, Willis’ family said in a statement: “The veteran actor has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.

“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him. This is a challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion, and support.”

They continued: “We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”

Since his diagnosis, Willis’s extensive family have banded together around him, offering him as much love and support as possible.

A source close to the star told Radar Online: “It seems he’s slipping further away from them, and it breaks their heart. It’s been painful to see him deteriorate. The older girls miss the old Bruce — the one who used to tease them about their boyfriends and give them unsolicited advice.”

Sadly, as hard as he’s tried, things have only gotten worse for the star. He has now been given another diagnosis.

His family announced in a statement that he has now been diagnosed with dementia: “As a family, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for the outpouring of love and compassion for Bruce over the past ten months,” they wrote, adding: “Your generosity of spirit has been overwhelming, and we are tremendously grateful for it. For your kindness, and because we know you love Bruce as much as we do, we wanted to give you an update. “

They continued: “Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”

Since then, it has come to light just how much the star is planning to leave his 3 children with first wife Demi Moore.

Radar Online reported that the star will give his 3 eldest daughters “$1 million each,” with an insider explaining that he wants to make sure that his “young family are taken care of.”

“He believes Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah have gotten the best of what he has to offer financially throughout their lives,” they added.

And he also feels as though they’re all doing well to make their own path and succeed in their chosen careers.
