Princes William and Harry shared their final conversation with their mother. They disclosed this in the 2017 HBO documentary “Diana: Her Life and Legacy.” They noted that the conversation was rushed, a moment they’ve since wished could have been more.

The Duke of Sussex recalled the phone call he had with his mother before she died. “If I’d known that that was the last time I was going to speak to my mother, the things that I would – the things I would have said to her,” Prince Harry expressed.

At the time of her death, the mother of two was with her rumored boyfriend “Dodi” Fayed. A driver traveling with the pair reportedly drove over the speed limit and lost control of the vehicle.

Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, left the stage too soon at 42 on August 16, 1977. His revolutionary blend of musical genres and electrifying performances marked a new era in music and cultural history.

He released numerous songs in the rock and roll genre such as “Jailhouse Rock” and “Hound Dog.” At the time of his death, Presley had sold more than 600 million singles and albums.

After making six appearances in television shows including “Stage Show,” he landed his first acting role in “Love Me Tender,” (1956). Overall, Presley has appeared in 33 films that became box office hits earning $150 million.

Despite a hugely successful showbiz career, strange behaviors and health issues plagued the singer’s final years. His cousin revealed that he was overly paranoid. One time, four men attacked him at a midnight show.

He became convinced that the karate instructor Mike Stone sent them to kill him. This was despite evidence showing that the said men were merely diehard fans. Presley ended up pressing for Stone to die, leading to a medical intervention.

In 1972, his health deteriorated as he overdosed several times and was hospitalized more than once. By 1973, the Hall of Famer ended up in a semicomatose state due to pethidine addiction.

His well-being declined even further in 1974. Keyboardist Tony Brown and guitarist, John Wilkinson revealed that it was evident that Presley was using drugs. They observed a physical decline and slurred speech from him.

Presley’s health worsened so much over time that he needed a full-time nurse. He suffered from chronic pain because of degenerative issues stemming from severe arthritis. The renowned musician died 46 years ago after being discovered unresponsive in the bathroom at his home. He would have been 89 today.

Despite the challenges of his final years, Presley’s influence on music and pop culture remains unparalleled, a legacy that continues to inspire and entertain.

Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze was more than just the heartthrob from “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost”; he was a fighter. Losing his battle with pancreatic cancer on September 14, 2009, at 57, Swayze left behind a legacy of courage and determination.

His wife, Lisa Niemi, recounted his battle with the disease in an April 2023 interview. She described his symptoms, including yellow eyes, digestive issues, and constant pain.

They went to the doctor who immediately suggested a CT scan. About 24 hours later, the couple received the difficult news. Niemi shared her husband would have liked to have battled cancer privately.

He continued working despite the diagnosis, even shooting a television show. However, the news about his condition eventually made headlines.

In her book, “Worth Fighting For,” Niemi recalled Swayze’s last moments. While caring for her husband, she had been told to look out for a weak pulse, a change in skin color, and a gurgling breath.

“His pulse was strong, but clearly the rest of his body was not in good shape,” Niemi admitted. She revealed that his breathing was “odd” and “shallow.”

However, the movie star’s pulse was “warm” and “strong.” Niemi recounted, “I looked at his face and listened to the tiny sips of air he was taking. Tiny, light sips of air…There was something…delicate…childlike about it.”

At that moment, she knew that the end was near for her spouse. She stood by his side holding his hand and felt his pulse again, while also listening to his childlike breathing. “And then he didn’t breathe anymore,” said Niemi.

The actor and dancer died following a 20-month battle with cancer. His wife and brother, Donny Swayze, were both by his side when he took his last breath at his ranch in Los Angeles. His openness about his illness brought attention to a disease that needed it desperately.

Family and friends remembered Swayze in the documentary, “I Am Patrick Swayze,” in 2019. His childhood sweetheart, whom he wed in 1979, said he fought cancer till the end. “He survived 22 months, which was miraculous with the diagnosis that he received,” she said.

Although Niemi and the film star had been married for years, they never had children together. She said they did have the desire to become parents but she experienced a miscarriage once. Niemie then became too old to bear children. It has been 14 years since her love died, and he would have been 72 today.

Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly’s life read like a fairy tale: a Hollywood star becomes a real-life princess. From an early age, she had wanted to become an actress. Following her high school graduation in 1947, Kelly moved to New York to pursue her dream.

However, her parents were displeased about her choice to try acting. Nonetheless, she was determined enough and enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

As a student, Kelly modeled part-time and appeared in advertisements, including magazine covers. She ultimately made her debut on Broadway in 1949. For better opportunities on the silver screen, Kelly later relocated to Southern California.

The actress finally got her big break in the 1950s after appearing in “Rear Window,” “High Society,” and “To Catch a Thief.” She won an Oscar for her role in “The Country Girl,” and became one of the highest-paid actresses.

Kelly met Prince Rainier III of Monaco during a photoshoot at the peak of her career. The couple married in April 1956 and she left her career to become the Princess Consort of Monaco.

She and her husband welcomed three kids: Prince Albert, Princess Caroline, and Princess Stephanie. They all later made her a grandmother. The two princesses are said to have their mother’s striking features.

This also includes Kelly’s granddaughter, Camille Gottlieb. Her parents are Princess Stephanie and former palace guard Jean Raymond Gottlieb. In 2023, the grandchild posted pictures of herself on Instagram and one follower commented“Gorgeous as your Grandma Grace Kelly. You inherited her beauty.”

Unfortunately, Kelly did not live long enough to see her grandkids grow up. Her story was cut short by a tragic car accident on September 14, 1982. She reportedly suffered a stroke while driving and lost control of the car. As a result, the mother of three never regained consciousness.

Kelly’s grace, beauty, and dedication to her new role in Monaco left an indelible mark on the world. She passed on 41 years ago at age 52 and would have been 95 today. Here is what she may have looked like to date via AI images.

Besides her new moniker, the Duchess of Sussex, who has made headlines in recent years, also stirred controversy with her choice of attire during their Nigerian tour.

Meghan’s dress code during the tour caught both public and media attention. Her fashion choices throughout the visit sparked a series of controversies and debates on social media and became a focal point of discussion.

Each of the five shoulder-baring dresses she wore showcased her personal style. They also ignited conversations about appropriateness, cultural sensitivity, and the expectations placed on public figures while abroad. The first dress she wore at a school visit, a gown with a backless design and tiered skirt, garnered mixed reactions from netizens.

Some, who noticed the revealing style criticized her for wearing what they deemed inappropriate attire for a children’s event at a school. Many noted her outfit was more suited for a cocktail party than a visit to an educational institution.

Lady, you are not at a cocktail party. This is a children’s school,” one person wrote with another noting “Who dresses in a backless dress to a school visit 🤔 yessss a yacht girl 😂😂😂.

Sleeveless and backless slinky dress to a school visit where modesty is expected. A country with half the population Muslim and she rocks up half naked flesh exposed. Seriously.” another disappointed fan wrote.

For her third look, the Duchess of Sussex opted for a white strapless tube dress at a formal event. This choice was met with harsh criticism, as some netizens claimed it was disrespectful to their culture. “Disrespectful wardrobe for the culture” and “She is too old to keep showing off her shoulders & back” were some of the comments.

Meghan’s fourth outfit was a red midi dress with a ruffled bottom during a women in leadership event in Abuja, Nigeria. The Duchess of Sussex also received backlash concerning her outfit. One person wrote, “Dressed inappropriately” while another added, “Put some clothes on miss.”

Deacon Johnson was missing in this photo, but Jasper looked handsome beside his dad. Grace, who was also beside her dad, held on to her mom’s waist and smiled broadly in the picture. The couple and their two kids looked so happy to be together.

Kelley Phleger said the picture was taken when they attended a Texas wedding. She added that the couple whose wedding they attended now have a baby girl.

Fans commented on Jasper’s appearance saying“Boys are so tall nowadays lovely photo x.” Another fan complimented the four, “Kelley, you gave such a beautiful family. You and Grace look so good and DJ and Jasper are so handsome. Sending hugs to all ❤️.”

One fan reminisced“Beautiful family! I have such cute fotos of Grace and Jasper when they were babies…and now they are so grown up! Sending you all much love ❤️.”

The “High Heat” actor and Kelly got married in 1999 when she was 30 and now have grown children. Don’s daughter, Grace Johnson, 24, is pursuing a career in modeling.

Jasper, 22, hasn’t pursued a career in showbiz and is rarely seen in public or online except on his parent’s Instagram account. Similarly, Deacon, 18, is still a teenager, and much isn’t known about him except what his parents share on social media.

The “Miami Vice” star and Kelley adore their kids. When they celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, one of the couple’s friends revealed that the two want their time together with their family to be sacred. The source added that the lovebirds enjoy their charmed life.

The insider called Don an affectionate and involved dad who is very happy when his family spends time together. Don’s most important job these days is to be a good role model for his kids. The actor once joked that he doesn’t have any vices except his children.

Don Johnson’s wife is also his pillar of support. He said he had a unique moment of clarity when he asked Kelley to marry him. The actor joked that he still thinks his wife is under a spell and hilariously begged God not to snap his finger as he never wanted Kelley to leave him.

Don, whose prayers were answered as his wife has been by his side for years, understands the value of family and the importance of being there for his loved ones. No matter how busy his career is, he makes time for his loving wife and kids.

At 79 years old in 2023, Sam Elliott reflects on his enduring love story with his wife, Katharine Ross, revealing the secrets behind their lasting relationship.

Their journey began on the set of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” where Elliott was instantly smitten with Ross, though too intimidated to approach her.

However, fate intervened in 1978 during the filming of “The Legacy,” allowing them to forge a deep connection.

Married since the late 1980s, Ross’s fifth marriage and Elliott’s first, they have weathered over three decades together. Elliott attributes the longevity of their union to mutual understanding and a willingness to confront challenges head-on.

He emphasizes the importance of working through difficulties rather than walking away, citing it as the foundation for lasting relationships.

Beyond love, Elliott believes in the value of commitment and hard work, principles that have guided their marriage through the years.

Avoiding the distractions of tabloid gossip and staying grounded in their shared values has further strengthened their bond.

Their love extends to their daughter, Cleo Rose, who has pursued a career in music, following in her parents’ footsteps. Elliott cherishes their close relationship, relishing simple pleasures like walks and rock hunting near their Malibu home.

Despite their success, Elliott remains humble, finding fulfillment in the everyday joys of life, from caring for their animals to the simple act of shoveling manure. For Elliott, it’s these grounded moments that keep them connected and grateful for the life they’ve built together in Malibu.

Shiloh’s decision follows a trend within the family, as her sisters, Vivienne and Zahara, have also reportedly omitted “Pitt” on separate occasions. These changes in the children’s names come amid court documents suggesting Angelina may have influenced their strained relationship with Brad.

“The fact that she cannot see the harm this is doing to their kids is just shocking,” one person commented. This was echoed by another commenter who noted, “It’s probably why Shiloh is moving in with her father now… She’s realized her mother is vindictive and has been trying to alienate them from Brad for years.”

Besides Vivienne, Shiloh, and Zahara, Angelina is a mother to Knox, Pax, and Maddox. She shares all of them with Brad and despite the public’s critical perception, Angelina Jolie has continually strived to embody the role of a nurturing, attentive mother. This is, a commitment deeply rooted in the lessons taught by her own mom, Marcheline Bertrand.

Remembering her mother’s gentle spirit and unwavering generosity, Angelina aspires to emulate these traits. Her aim is clear: to be as good a mother to her children as her mother was to her.

 

At 18, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has reportedly taken a bold step by filing legal documents to alter her name. She is the third child in the family to publicly express this change.

Hair problems are common. Celebrities face unique challenges like hair loss due to health issues or damage from styling. Here are eight stars including Kristin Davis and Viola Davis, who have secretly worn wigs and hair extensions for years.

Movie actress and talk show host Jada Pinkett Smith has been open about her hair loss. She discussed it on social media and “Red Table Talk,” calling it “terrifying.”

Smith noticed her hair falling out while showering, which led her to cut her hair shorter. She shared that her hair was a significant part of her identity and feared the possibility of going bald.

The Emmy Award winner explained that taking care of her hair is a “beautiful ritual.” She appreciates having the choice of having tresses or not.

In 2021, Smith posted a video of her bald head, showing alopecia marks. “This here hair is act’n like it’s try’n a make a come back. Still have some trouble spots, but — we’ll see,” Smith posted, giving updates about her hair which has since grown.

Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis faced hair thinning. “My hair just was not what it used to be,” she said. Her ponytail felt smaller, prompting her to see hairstylist Luke O’Connor.

“It was very fine, like it had gone away, there just was hardly any hair there.…[…] When I tried to do something or had to go somewhere I was like, ‘Where is my hair?'” she recalled.

Viola Davis

Viola Davis has dealt with alopecia since age 28. “I woke up one day, and it looked like I had a Mohawk. Big splash of bald on the top of my head,” Davis shared in a 2014 interview.

Stress caused her hair loss, leading her to wear wigs everywhere to cover her head. But she has now grown to accept her condition and feels less need to conceal it.

Following her diagnosis, she wore wigs in every aspect of her life. “I never showed my natural hair. […] I was so desperate for people to think that I was beautiful.” said Davis.

At the 2012 Oscars, “The Woman King” acress revealed her natural hair, feeling liberated. Now, she wears wigs only for roles and photoshoots.

During an appearance on “Anderson” several years ago, Davis was asked about the buzz around her going natural at the 2012 Oscars. “I took off my wig because I wanted to step into who I was,” she revealed.

“For me, it felt like every time I put on a wig I was apologizing for being a dark-skinned woman with curly hair, like I was hiding it. […] I felt like I didn’t want to do that anymore,” Davis further explained.

Wendy Williams

Another celebrity who has faced hair challenges is Wendy Williams. In a Lifetime documentary titled “Where Is Wendy Williams?” the talk show host, known for her varying wigs, removed the one she was wearing to show her real hair.

Williams wears wigs due to thyroid disease, which causes hair loss. The television personality finds wigs fun and rarely goes out with her natural hair.

Wendy previously discussed her wigs on her now-defunct talk show “The Wendy Williams Show,” sharing humorous moments and maintenance tips. She shared that her ex-husband met her when she wore her natural hair most of the time.

However, this changed over the years as she began to wear a wig daily. She even joked about the moments she has had while wearing one, including the fact that they tend to slip off when she laughs too hard.

Moreover, the TV star has been caught fixing her wigs on camera several times during her show. In one episode, she pushed some of her front hair back and remembered that her hairstylist advised her not to touch her wig on top but only at the bottom.

ADVERTISEMENT

In another episode, Williams recalled a time when she met Lil Romeo for the first time, and he boldly asked her if she was wearing a wig. “You know kids just say any damn thing and so he called me out,” she stated. As for maintaining her wigs, the media personality revealed that she colors the front and deepens the roots to keep them looking fresh.

Keira Knightley

Also on the list of celebrities who have been open about wearing wigs is British actress Keira Knightley. She admitted in 2016 that she wore wigs for years due to hair loss from dyeing.

“I have dyed my hair virtually every color imaginable for different films,” she shared, adding, “It got so bad that my hair literally began to fall out of my head!”

Thinning hair affects a significant number of women in the UK, with hair loss becoming increasingly common. However, like Knightley, if dyeing has led to hair issues, she assures that hair can grow back.

After having her daughter, her hair grew back thicker. “I have naturally crazy, curly hair and since I’ve had the baby, it’s become ten times thicker. So now I’ve been finding quite a lot of dreadlocks,” she disclosed. Knightly uses a specific product to manage her curly dreadlocks which gets rid of kinks without losing her hair.

Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke is best known for starring as as Daenerys Targaryen on “Game of Thrones,” in which she wore wigs. In 2018, she revealed a short blonde haircut on Instagram captioning her post with, “Me: I’m thinking when Gwyneth and Brad had the same haircut.”

In an interview that same year, Clarke explained that dyeing damaged her hair, so she cut it short to let it recover. “[…] It’s almost the shortest it’s been. I’m honestly trying to grow out the blonde, because it’s just killed my hair, and I miss having nice hair!” she said.

Clarke frequently wore a blonde wig that closely resembled her character Daenerys’s hair on “Game of Thrones.” In 2019, she shared the wig installation process with fans, showing the meticulous preparation involved.

Beyonce

Another iconic figure in the entertainment industry has also made waves with her hair care practices is Beyoncé. The singer showed off her natural hair in April 202 while sharing her hair care routine using her product line, Cécred.

“It has been such a special experience seeing all of your #cecredwashday rituals all over my timeline… I just had to join in with something I had in the archives,” the performer captioned her post.

She shared how being disruptive and challenging traditional processes has always thrilled her, and her hair and music have frequently embodied this spirit.

Maintaining her signature blonde look for 25 years, Beyoncé highlighted the role this experience played in developing Cécred’s products. She noted, “It’s the hardest to keep color-treated hair healthy and strong, but @cecred is here.”

In a video shared on Instagram, Beyoncé demonstrated her detailed hair care routine. The multi-step process included shampooing, conditioning, and moisturizing her blonde hair, which she has maintained for a quarter of a century.

Addressing the stigmas associated with wig-wearing celebrities, Beyoncé stated, “It ain’t nobody’s business,” reinforcing her stance on personal choice and privacy. She views her hair care routines with deep intentionality, considering them more than mere necessities.

Tyra Banks

Lastly, Tyra Banks is another star who has had trouble with her hair. Back in 2011, she revealed that her jam-packed schedule took an unexpected toll on her scalp.

“I got a little alopecia from the stress,” Banks disclosed in an interview. The stress stemmed from the five years it took her to write her book, “Modelland,” while balancing her numerous other professional duties.

A Philadelphia-based dermatologist at the time, Dr. Orr Barak, weighed in on the issue, saying, “Writing a book can definitely be a stressor that can lead to hair loss, or alopecia.”

“For women experiencing hair loss, doctors also check for thyroid issues or low iron levels, though these are less common causes compared to emotional stressors like what Tyra described,” added Barak. The doctor suggested that Banks experienced “telogen effluvium,” a type of hair loss induced by stress.
