Formerly a stunning actress, many looked up to Heather Locklear, the star of “Dynasty,” but these days she lacks the beauty that Hollywood once adored.

The gorgeous Heather Locklear, once regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, is most recognized to us from her performances as Amanda Woodward in “Melrose Place,” Sammy Jo in “Dynasty,” and cameos in “Spin City.”

Men admired Heather’s innate attractiveness, while women envied her. She gave the impression that her standing among the stars was unassailable by packing newspaper columns with tales about how gorgeous she was.

Her stardom, appeal, and status as a member of the elite Hollywood set, however, were short-lived. She has been well-known for her career for many years, but she has also been associated with a number of unflattering stories and rumors.

Heather also didn’t have much luck finding love. Tommy Lee was her husband, and the two parted ways in 1993. Tommy Lee’s present wife recently disclosed that, contrary to popular belief, Heather rather than Pamela Anderson was his greatest love.

Later on, she wed Richie Sambora, the guitarist for Bon Jovi. However, issues started to surface in 2006 following her second husband’s divorce.

She has a well-known history of battling several vices, including drug and alcohol addiction. In addition to her familiarity with rehab centers, Heather has experienced legal challenges as well as emotional and psychological crises.

The actress was tested and found to have taken narcotics after she was arrested for driving while intoxicated. According to reports, when intoxicated, she got into physical altercations with the police. She is reported to have overdosed on medications and ended up in the hospital just one day after being freed from jail.

According to reports, Heather has been “clean” since 2019 and attributes her sobriety to her daughter Ava and partner Chris. Even Nevertheless, there have been difficulties in their relationship with Chris.

Locklear’s natural appearance has diminished over time. Conversely, it’s evident that procedures have significantly changed her appearance, making her nearly unrecognizable. Here are a few of her most recent images: To learn more, scroll.

Roy Rogers, famously known as the “King of the Cowboys,” and his wife Dale Evans, the “Queen of the West,” were two of Hollywood’s earliest TV stars.

Rogers, renowned as the singing cowboy with his faithful palomino horse Trigger, became the most popular western star of his era. He starred in over 100 films and had his own show, The Roy Rogers Show.

Rogers had a total of nine children through his marriages with Grace Arline Wilkins and Dale Evans. Some of his children followed in his Hollywood footsteps, while others chose lives away from the limelight. Here’s a closer look at each of Roy Rogers’ children:

Cheryl Rogers: Rogers and his second wife, Grace Arline Wilkins, adopted Cheryl in 1941 from Hope Cottage in Texas. Cheryl grew up with her father’s beloved horse Trigger and appeared in some of his films as a child, including Meet Roy Rogers and Trail of Robin Hood.

Linda Lou Rogers: Grace gave birth to Linda Lou two years after adopting Cheryl. Linda married Gary Johnson, a minister, and they were together for over 40 years until his death in 2008. Linda lives in California, surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

Roy Rogers Jr.: Known as “Dusty,” Roy Jr. is the only biological son of Roy Rogers. Grace passed away due to complications from childbirth shortly after he was born. Dusty appeared on The Roy Rogers Show as a child and later became his father’s manager. He also performed with the Sons of the Pioneers and his own band, Roy Rogers Jr. and the High Riders.

Robin Elizabeth Rogers: Dale Evans gave birth to Robin, their only child together. Robin was born with Down syndrome and passed away before her second birthday due to complications from the mumps. Dale wrote the book Angel Unaware in her memory.

Dodie Rogers: Dodie, of Native American descent, was adopted at seven months old. She married Jon Patterson, a NASA employee, and they had a daughter named Kristin. Dodie is now a grandmother.

Mimi Rogers: Marion Fleming, known as Mimi, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Roy and Dale met her in a children’s home and were so impressed by her singing that they brought her to California, where she became part of their family. Mimi married Dan, a Marine Corps member, and they had three children before he passed away. Mimi is now a grandmother.

Debbie Rogers: Deborah Lee Rogers was adopted after becoming an orphan during the Korean War. Tragically, she died at age 12 in a bus accident in Los Angeles while with other children from her church.

Sandy Rogers: John David “Sandy” Rogers was adopted after Robin’s death. He joined the U.S. Army but sadly choked to death in a military hospital in Germany at age 18.

Tom Fox: Tom was Dale’s biological son from her first marriage, raised by Roy and Dale. He became a school teacher and music minister and passed away in 2012.

Picture this: America’s favorite letter-turner, Vanna White, holding back tears as she bids farewell to her long-time TV partner, Pat Sajak. Yes, folks, Pat is stepping down from his hosting duties on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ after an incredible run. Vanna, ever the class act, has something touching up her sleeve.

The Thursday night episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ wasn’t just any ordinary spin of the wheel. No, this was a trip down memory lane, complete with nostalgic clips and endearing photos that showcased Vanna and Pat’s iconic partnership. We’re talking about a friendship that has spanned over four decades, starting all the way back in the glitzy 1980s.

“I can’t believe that tomorrow is our last show together,” said Vanna, her voice giving that quiver everyone can relate to. At 67, Vanna isn’t just a TV icon; she’s practically TV royalty. “I don’t know how to put into words what these past 41 years have meant to me, but I’m going to try.

“Eight thousand episodes went by like that,” she exclaimed, snapping her fingers for effect. Time, like fortune, flies when you’re having fun, eh?

Their story is one for the ages. Sajak and White started this journey in 1982, back when the hair was bigger, the clothes were louder, and syndication meant you’d really made it. Over the years, they transformed into one of television’s most endearing duos.

As the montage played, Vanna spilled the kind of behind-the-scenes tea that warms your heart. “As the years have gone by, we’ve grown up on television, but we’ve also shared so much more behind the scenes,” she reminisced.

“What an incredible and unforgettable journey we’ve had. And I’ve enjoyed every minute of it with you,” Vanna added while visibly battling tears. “You’re like a brother to me, and I consider you a true lifelong friend, who I will always adore. I love you, Pat.”

The Epilogue: The Hug

Following this touching segment, the two hugged it out on stage, one last embrace for the cameras. For over 8,000 episodes, Sajak led the contestants through the highs and lows of the game, while Vanna dazzled us with her effortless poise and those iconic letter turns.

If you thought that was the end of the emotions, think again. You can watch Vanna’s heartfelt tribute to Pat in the video below. Get those tissues ready.

Last summer, Sajak announced that Season 41 of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ would be his swan song, which he called a “wonderful ride.” But here’s a silver lining: Vanna isn’t going anywhere! She’ll be back next season, this time accompanied by Ryan Seacrest. A new chapter for ‘Wheel,’ indeed.

So go ahead, share this emotional farewell with family and friends. After all, even in the face of change, love and peace prevail.

As a member of the esteemed Grand Ole Opry, Alan has sold over 80 million records and was rightfully inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017. His journey has been filled with achievements and accolades, but it hasn’t been without its fair share of hardships.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Alan’s family experienced a tragic loss in 2018. His son-in-law, Ben Selecman, lost his life in a boating accident while trying to help a woman onto a boat. The 28-year-old was a rising star in his own right, working as an Assistant District Attorney. The whole family, including Alan, is still grieving this devastating loss.

Alan Jackson recently shared how this profound tragedy influenced his music. His albums, “Angels & Alcohol” released in 2015 and “Where Have You Gone” earlier this year, bear the emotional weight of the family’s sorrow. These albums reflect the deep pain and struggle that Alan and his loved ones have endured, making them even more poignant and meaningful.

Supporting and healing together, Alan and his daughter, Mattie Jackson Selecman, collaborated on a song called “Racing the Dark.” This heartfelt and personal song is a testament to their bond and resilience in the face of adversity. Fans can download the song by purchasing Mattie’s upcoming book, “Lemons on Friday: Trusting God Through My Greatest Heartbreak.” In the book, Mattie shares her journey of grief, how her faith helped her through the healing process, and the inspiration behind co-founding NaSHEville, a business empowering women in Music City.

The book also includes an introduction by Alan and his wife, Denise Jackson, a bestselling novelist. They share their own experiences of loss and how they found new ways to nurture their daughter’s memory while coping with the pain. Their unwavering love and support for each other serve as a beacon of hope and strength for anyone going through their own heartbreak.

In addition to the family’s personal tragedy, Alan Jackson has also been dealing with his own health issues. Last year, he revealed in an exclusive interview with Today that he has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve disorder. This genetic condition affects his ability to walk and maintain balance, making performing on stage increasingly challenging for him. However, Alan remains determined to continue sharing his music with his fans, stating that the disease is not life-threatening.

Although Alan faces these obstacles, his passion for music remains unwavering. He plans to continue touring and enchanting audiences with his timeless country classics for as long as possible. Let’s keep Alan and his family in our prayers as they navigate through these difficult times. Alan Jackson will always be remembered not only for his extraordinary talent but also for his strength and resilience.

As the best-selling female artist in country music history, and one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Shania Twain is going to live on forever – at least in our hearts.

Often referred to as the “Queen of Country Pop”, she conquered the world and became a global superstar in the 90s.
But few know the struggles she has faced in her life. First, she was a poor, starving kid before her breakthrough. Not to mention the fact that her life changed completely at 22 – when an unbearable tragedy forced new responsibilities upon her…

Rocky childhood

Shania Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario, on August 28, 1965. She would later change her surname when Shania’s mother, Sharon, remarried a man called Jerry Twain.

Since Shania’s biological father wasn’t present during her upbringing, she never publicly acknowledged him as her dad. Instead, Jerry took it upon himself to raise Shania, legally adopting her and her two sisters.”My father (Jerry) went out of his way to raise three daughters that weren’t even his. For me to acknowledge another man as my father, a man who was never there for me as a father, who wasn’t the one who struggled every day to put food on our table, would have hurt him terribly,” Shania once said.

All things considered, Shania had a difficult childhood. She grew up in poverty in Timmins, rural Canada, and her family was far from wealthy. Her step-father Jerry, a full-blooded Ojibway, had a hard time providing for the family and earned little money.

As a result, Shania and her sisters didn’t always have food on the table. Sometimes, the only thing served was a dish known as “goulash”: dry bread with boiled milk and brown sugar. During the cold winters in Canada, Shania was forced to wear bread bags on her feet because her parents couldn’t afford proper boots.

But as a young girl, she never told anyone about her situation. The future Queen of Country Pop feared that the authorities would break up the family if she spoke up about their hardships.

Lived in ”survivor mode”

Meanwhile, the marriage between Sharon and Jerry was also rocky. At one time, Shania convinced her mom to run away from Jerry, so Shania, her mom and her sisters fled to a homeless shelter in Toronto. However, when Shania was 16, her mother returned to Jerry, and they decided to give things another try.

Shania told how she lived in “survivor mode” into her adult years, due to the instability of her childhood home. She didn’t feel that she could rely on her parents to neither protect her or to be consistent caregivers.

Now, when Shania turned eight, she had started singing at bars to help pay the bills at home. It was a daring move for a young girl, and Shania didn’t exactly like doing it. At the same time, though, she could earn as much as $20 a night, a vital economic injection in her struggling family household.

“My deepest passion was music and it helped. There were moments when I thought, ‘I hate this.’ I hated going into bars and being with drunks. But I loved the music and so I survived,” she said in Shania Twain: The Biography.

Performing at rural bars and in retirement homes in Canada also helped Shania develop her stage language and explore her talent. Before long, she was ready for a bigger scene.

When she was 13, Shania got to perform on the Tommy Hunter Show, a legendary country music variety show that aired on CBC Television and ran for 27 years. Hosted by Tommy Hunter, known as “Canada’s Country Gentleman,” it gave Shania an excellent opportunity to promote herself as a country singer.

In the mid-1980s, Shania was a struggling singer-songwriter trying to establish herself in the music industry. She had joined her first band, Longshot, as a 16-year-old, but relocated to Toronto when she was 21.

As time went on, more and more people began to discover the talented and beautiful songstress. When famous country singer Mary Bailey saw Shania perform in Sudbury, Ontario, she was stunned.

“I saw this little girl up on stage with a guitar and it absolutely blew me away. She performed Willie Nelson‘s “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” and Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”. Her voice reminded me of Tanya Tucker, it had strength and character, a lot of feeling. She’s a star, she deserves an opportunity,” Bailey, who would later become Shania’s manager, recalled.

“She sang a few songs that she had written, and I thought to myself, this kid is like nineteen years old, where does she get this? This is from a person who’s lived sixty years”.

In 1987, the road was open for Shania, and she had every opportunity to break through as a country artist. Nashville and big money were waiting for her.

Then tragedy struck and changed everything.

Parents passing

On the afternoon of November 1, 1987, Shania’s parents were driving on a remote logging road on their way to a work site.

Unfortunately, they collided with a truck loaded with timber. Both Jerry and Sharon died in the crash, leaving behind two sons and three daughters.

“I feel like I’ve been this tree with good sturdy roots for 30 years, then all of a sudden someone comes along and is trying to cut me down, cut a part me off,” Shania said.

When she heard the news, Shania was devastated. She decided to return to her native Timmins. Instead of focusing on her music career, Shania had to take care of her younger siblings, who were 13, 14, and 18 at the time.

“It was a very, very difficult time. But it was also a turning point in my life that, I think, matured me, brought me up to where I should have been in the first place at that age,” she told CBC.

She raised them all by herself, ensuring they had the support they needed. Later, Shania decided to move to Huntsville, Ontario, with all her siblings. There, she landed a job as a singer and dancer at the Deerhurst Resort.

“I was just going to give up music,” Shania said in 1995.

“I thought, my family comes first. I have to take care of them. I didn’t even think of my future…. I’m lucky I got the job at Deerhurst, because it was music. I didn’t know where I was going to go from there.”

Road to stardom

During her time at Deerhurst, the gorgeous singer, with her signature brown hair and beautiful voice, developed her skills as an entertainer.

After putting together a demo tape of her song, she caught the attention of a Mercury Nashville Records executive. Shania was invited to Nashville and released her self-titled debut album, Shania Twain, in 1993. It wasn’t a commercial success, but received positive reviews from critics.

One person who really loved what he heard was South African record producer Mutt Lange. In fact, he was so impressed that he reached out to Shania and asked if he could produce and write some songs with her.

After meeting at Nashville’s Fan Fair in June 1993, they started an intense collaboration and became very close in a short time. Six months later, the couple married. Shania was more than a decade younger than Mutt, but the couple obviously had something special. Together, they wrote many hit songs on the forthcoming albums that would catapult Shania into stardom, The Woman in Me (1995) and Come On Over (1997).

By 2007, The Woman in Me had sold more than 12 million copies in the United States. At the time of its release it was a huge success, turning Shania Twain into a star overnight.

“We just took a stab in the dark, followed our instincts, and it worked out. I think there was something on that album for everybody,” Shania told The News Tribune in 1997.

Most often, Shania wrote the lyrics, and Mutt created the music. While producing Come On Over, Mutt tried to slip in riffs from rock-n-roll; he had previously worked with AC/DC and Def Leppard.

The outcome was a marriage of country & rock, resulting in an international pop breakthrough and 40 million copies sold worldwide. The 1997 album featured many of Shania’s most famous songs, including “You’re Still The One” and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman”.

“In my mind, I was just being myself and that was the great thing of all — to just be able to be myself and let my personality come through in the music,” Shania told The Associated Press.

It is no exaggeration to say that “Shaniamania” hit America full force in the late 1990s. Today, Come On Over is the ninth highest-selling album by any type of artist in the US, and the top-selling country album in history.

Shania Twain marriage

On August 12, 2001, Shania and Mutt Lange welcomed a son. They named him Eja (pronounced “Asia”) and, according to the media, Shania delivered her son at a hospital in Switzerland, without any “media fanfare”.

The down-to-earth charm that earned her admiration from all over the world was reflected in her pregnancy. Shania kept things quiet and private – she released no details about Eja when he was born.

Cried constantly

A few years later, however, she would be forced to go through a public divorce, one where less flattering details came out in the media.

For many years, Twain’s marriage had been plagued by rumors – some gossip columnists claimed that the couple had huge problems. Shania commented on the rumors in 1997, denying that the couple would divorce.

”Mutt and I are an unlikely pair,” she said.

“There’s been talk in the tabloids that we’re divorcing, but we are very happy. We love each other in every way. We have a great creative relationship and a great personal relationship. We feel as strong as ever – and “Still the One” is sort of my own personal song about marriage.”

In 2008, though, Shania and her husband separated. The reason? Lange had engaged in an affair with Shania’s best friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud.

Shania was, of course, completely heartbroken. She said she cried constantly and took five baths a day. According to the country star, she was ”ready to die”.

“I’ll be honest: when your husband leaves you, and falls into the arms of your close friend, your self-esteem can really suffer,” she said.

Shania and Marie-Anne were really good friends who had first met when the latter was hired as an assistant and interpreter for Mutt Lange. After finding out about the affair, Shania confronted her so-called friend.

”I just told her that she was a bad person – that’s all I could get out!’
‘When I left her, I thought, “You’re such a wimp, you coward!”‘

Shania Twain husband

Soon, things would take another unexpected turn. While trying to cope with her heartbreak, Shania found love again.

In 2011, Shania married businessman Frédéric Thiébaud, Marie-Anne’s former husband. The two bonded over the heartbreak and tied the knot in Puerto Rico in front of 40 people, mostly close friends and family.

“I don’t take any day for granted any more. Fred has give me a new lease on love,” Shania told the Daily Mail.

Shania said she had found “a true friend and a dear gentleman” and that her husband of 10+ years is a true gift to her. When they started dating, Fred surprised her with romantic trips – once he flew her to a Swiss glacier, and once he hired a whole movie theatre just for her.

“It’s twisted. So beautifully twisted,” she said.

“To express my love, words are not enough. I’m more in love with her every day,” Thiebaud added.

Shania Twain today

Shania Twain is a long-time resident of Corseaux, Switzerland, where she resides with her husband. She rarely gives interviews and the Queen of Country Pop is known for being notoriously private.

In recent years, she has released several albums with varying degrees of success. Right now, she’s doing a show in Las Vegas, where she takes “fans on a journey through her award-winning career with the best elements from her iconic videos and visual spectacles of her sold out global tours.”

She has also tried her luck in the film industry, appearing in several movies over the years. In 2019, she starred alongside John Travolta in Trading Paint, and in 2020 portrayed the mother of singer Jeremy Camp in the autobiographical movie I Still Believe.

Though Shania does not appear as often on the top lists today, she has left a massive mark in popular culture. Once the reigning queen of country music, she helped influence artists such as Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Carrie Underwood.

“I think we were all definitely influenced by Shania, even if we don’t realize it. (Her music) was so different and kind of revolutionary at the time. She definitely paved the way for a lot of us,” Carrie Underwood told AP in 2016.

Shania Twain on aging

Shania was also very forward-thinking with her outfits and classic supermodel looks. In 2009, she was voted the No. 1 Most Beautiful Canadian by readers of Hello! magazine. Over the years, the country star has been pretty open about her secrets as regards looking young.

Reportedly, she’s a vegetarian, eats a lot of raw food, and meditates on a daily basis.

“A happy heart comes first, then the happy face,” she said.

Shania, now 57, also revealed how she’s dealing with the effects of age.

“I’m pretty insecure about my changing body… I’m letting ‘the girls’ hang loose under my sweat clothes around the house and when someone comes to the door, I cross my arms under them for support,” she told EW.

“For me personally, I’m sure it’s very different for everybody, but I just started with time. Stepping out of battles that I couldn’t win. I mean, you know, aging is a battle you can’t win,” she said in 2020, in the LadyGang podcast.

“That battle and the focus and energy it takes, is taking up too much space! In my life, my emotional state, my mental state. I’ve got songs to write. I’m not gonna sit around,” said Twain.

Are you also a fan of Shania Twain? I think she’s still gorgeous and more important – a really great woman. Shania is an example for us all. Love and just admire her!

When we think of the late actor Heath Ledger, we often remember him for his iconic role as The Joker in “The Dark Knight.” But behind the scenes, Ledger’s love for his daughter Matilda Rose Ledger was truly remarkable.

Ledger and actress Michelle Williams welcomed their daughter in 2005. Unfortunately, their relationship ended in 2007, but Ledger’s love for his daughter remained as strong as ever. Director Terry Gilliam once shared a heartwarming story about how Ledger would take his daughter in his backpack and travel to his house to discuss a movie they were working on.

Tragically, in 2008, Ledger passed away unexpectedly at his New York apartment when Matilda was only two years old. The loss was devastating for the little girl, who couldn’t understand why her father was suddenly gone. She would constantly ask her mother, Michelle, “Where’s my daddy?”

But even in the midst of their grief, a beautiful act of kindness and generosity would ensure Matilda’s future. Ledger’s co-stars, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell, who were working with him on the film “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” stepped in to help.

When Ledger passed away during the filming, director Terry Gilliam was unsure about the fate of the movie. However, with Matilda’s support, he decided to continue the film by having Law, Depp, and Farrell take turns playing Ledger’s character. All three actors chose to donate their salaries to Matilda, showing their love and support for their fallen friend.

The story took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that Ledger had not included his daughter in his will. According to the will written before Matilda’s birth, Ledger’s estate was to be inherited by his parents and sisters. However, Ledger’s father, Kim Ledger, made a selfless decision. He announced that the entire family would gift everything to Matilda, ensuring that she would be taken care of.

Despite the challenges, Matilda has grown into a remarkable young woman. Now 17 years old, she bears a striking resemblance to her father. Her grandfather, Kim, says she has inherited many of her father’s mannerisms and energy. Matilda’s mother, Michelle, has done an incredible job of raising her on her own and keeping Ledger’s memory alive for her daughter.

Although Matilda leads a low-profile life, her family commends Michelle for creating a nurturing environment for her to grow up in. Matilda’s aunt, Kate Ledger, shares that everything Matilda does reminds her of her late father. She keeps his memory alive by sharing stories of him and their time together.

Matilda’s journey is heartwarming and inspiring. Despite losing her father at such a young age, she continues to carry his spirit with her. Ledger may be gone, but his love for his daughter lives on through the kindness and support of those around him.
