Facts

Celebrities are almost always under the relentless scrutiny of cameras, so it’s not surprising that each of their missteps quickly becomes public knowledge. Their elaborate outfits sometimes come apart at the seams or get caught on their heels, their speeches escape their minds, and their dresses, which looked perfect during fittings, can look completely different on stage. However, most stars pay no attention to these annoying little things and emerge from such situations with admirable humor.

Celebrities are usually scrupulous when it comes to choosing their outfit for an important event. Some gowns are quickly forgotten, while others get a strong response from critics and the public, and continue to be remembered for years to come. While the comments may not be the most flattering, they’re bound to draw attention to the celebrity and their image. That’s how Rihanna’s “omelette” dress, for example, ended up being the top search for several years.

Filmmaking is a time-consuming and complicated process. The filming of a single scene may take a few hours or even days. And the editing can be done using footage taken during different periods of time. This is why bloopers appear.An actor can put on the wrong accessory, or a set dresser can arrange props in a different way. Sometimes it even happens that the movie director makes a mistake on purpose, as if trying to send a hidden message to viewers.

Creating a film is hard work and often requires hundreds of people, so the chances of making a mistake on set are huge. Some of these mistakes end up in the bloopers, but there are some goofs that appear in the film itself and shock viewers. They’re often the result of blunders made by costume designers, especially in historical movies.

When people suddenly disappear without a trace, these events quickly get surrounded by many legends. For some incidents, such as the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, researchers have subsequently found perfectly reasonable and justifiable explanations. But some cases, like that of Marie Empress, the silent film star, or Dorothy Arnold, the New York socialite, remain unsolved. These stories are still the subject of lively debate, and scholars never get tired of putting forward different versions of events.

It seems that an ordinary pregnancy test, Rubik’s Cube, or elevator shaft can’t hide any secrets. Despite the fact that we use many items every day, we rarely think about how exactly they work.

Imagination is so powerful, it is even capable of creating objects so unique that not everyone can understand what they are for. Nature is not far behind and also shows its inventiveness in, for example, plants that are common to some and a mystery to others. Fortunately, there is no need to hire detectives to find out what we have in front of us.

They were once outsiders to Hollywood but managed to put a spell on things with their accents, foreign looks, and artistic talents. It’s easy for many people to link celebrities to America but these actors and singers have other countries they call home. And their origins add a unique richness and color to Hollywood that many of us love.

Many things in our world seem to us to be absolute truths that we don’t usually question. When we have a sore throat, we try to prefer hot drinks. We use household appliances less often to extend their lifespan. We claim that we are not good at math because our right brain hemisphere works better. However, many of these ideas are nothing but myths.

It would seem that in the 21st century we know everything about the world around us. But we can still come across things that’ll have us scratching our heads over their intended purpose. For example, why do some bras have extra straps? And, how could a metal ball end up in a baby’s cot? But the Internet can provide answers to almost any question.

According to a recent survey, figure skating takes the top spot for biggest number of fans among Winter Olympics disciplines. About 40% of respondents admitted to following this sport.

Movies, music, and beauty products, these are the first things that come to mind when you think about South Korea. In fact, this mysterious, authentic, and not-very-popular tourist destination will surprise anyone, even a frequent and sophisticated traveler.

A film is a result of the work of a huge crew. Many of the people behind the scenes of a film are overshadowed by the actors, writers, and directors, and their contributions might seem minor. Well, we don’t notice their work either as long as they do it well, but once they make a mistake, it’s extremely noticeable and impacts the overall impression of the film.

Sometimes small hidden marks in movies can be as important as what’s in the script, and even play a role in helping audiences understand the plot of the film. Spotting these little nods and tributes can be fun for the observant viewer. It can also give the audience more information about the creators of our favorite movies than any biography.

Many people will tell you to start meditating or keeping a sleep diary if you experience trouble sleeping. But that’s not exactly helpful when you wake up at 3 a.m., and all you want is to go back to sleep. What you need are practical ways to induce sleep. For some, you’ll need to get out of bed, but for some others, all you have to do is stay where you are.

Usually, we think that animated movies are intended mostly for kids, and so we expect the content and animation to be rather simple and plain.

Some Easter eggs or secret winks connect these productions with others and are noticed only by the most attentive viewers.

Even today, when store shelves are full of all sorts of beauty products, it’s not very easy to take good care of yourself. Obviously, it was much harder in the past.
