Paralympic champion Amy Purdy is a hero of our time. After having both her legs amputated, she once again learned to walk and snowboard and has excelled in the latter so much that she managed to build a career as a professional athlete. Amy is a virtuoso on the board, a fiery dancer, and a passionate motivational speaker. Her influence is so great that Oprah has even included her in the SuperSoul 100.

Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, is one of the highest-paid actors in the world, and his movies often become box-office hits.

Many famous stars became successful only when they were adults. And some of them started their careers such a long time ago that many people today can’t even imagine what they looked like when they were young.

Being a star doesn’t mean only a luxurious lifestyle and everyone’s love. The situation can change any day. Katy Perry once compared fame to a wild animal — it can love you, and then it can attack you.This singer knows quite well what it’s like to be in the spotlight. She’s known love and hatred from millions of people. At one point, criticism from fans and colleagues made her one of the most hated stars. But she learned how to deal with it.

We all sometimes get the urge to treat ourselves and our loved ones to a good meal. But some people seem to be under a “culinary curse”, and sometimes only make disasters happen in the kitchen. We’ve decided to make a compilation of these mishaps so that everyone who drops their next dish on the floor knows that they’re not alone in this.

Sometimes even the manliest guys turn out to be kind and tender boys inside. They like to present flowers to their beloved or do a truly chivalrous deed for them. The scope of care in these cases is not important — it could be a breakfast cooked by him or a chain with a diamond bought at a luxury boutique. All of these can have a positive effect when done at just the right moment. We believe that true knights still exist. We found 15 guys who not only raised the mood of their loved ones with their behavior but who also make this world better and lighter.

Many newlyweds want their wedding photos to look like magazine shots. Later, they show these perfect shots to their relatives and remember their special day with a bit of nostalgia. But in fact, the blurry selfies and accidental photos say a lot more about the wedding. And people don’t often show them. The people from this article weren’t shy and shared these honest photos.

We can often see how co-stars become friends while shooting their iconic films or TV shows. As it turns out, they have a lot of time to get to know each other because, on average, it usually takes 1-2 years to film a movie. And TV shows can last for up to 10 years, if not more. But, luckily, they have a chance to reunite on the red carpet, for a new project, or while filming a sequel. And seeing them together for the first or even the thousandth time can still overwhelm us with nostalgic feelings.

It can be difficult for parents to raise a child together after a separation. But Kate Hudson is proving, by her own example, that it’s doable.

Famous beauties know very well that their fans are interested not only in their work, but also in their looks. Their red carpet outfits, including their hairstyle and accessories, are discussed online and offline. But it’s not always a gorgeous dress that helps them stand out from the crowd; sometimes, their shoes play the starring role.

As Woody Allen once noted, “Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.” Being open to both opposite- and same-gender relationships not only increases your chances to find a date, but also gives you the freedom to not focus on gender but on the personality of a person.

In November 2022, Netflix released Wednesday, the story of the wonderful and gruesome daughter of the Addams family.

And when it was revealed that it was played by a real person, there was an immediate question: How was that even possible?

Fashion is a huge part of show business, and some celebs surely know how to use it to make a statement. Sometimes red carpet outfits stand out for their class and elegance, while other times they are daring, unexpected, and anything but traditional.

Moreover, her stance on this issue is crystal clear: she feels happy without a family.

Being a celebrity nanny can seem like a dream come true. Traveling with your favorite singer or actress and their family sounds like something interesting, and you’ll likely have fun anecdotes to tell your friends.

Actress Kathleen Turner rose to fame in the 1980s with several successful films. Nominated for an Oscar and two Golden Globes, she seemed to have a long and fulfilling career ahead of her. But a serious disease intervened in Turner’s plans. Despite the pain and the doctors’ pessimism, the actress continued to fight and managed to overcome her condition.

Many of us have photos in our old albums that we want to hide away in a safe with a combination lock. But the internet users in today’s compilation haven’t been shy in sharing such pictures with the rest of the world, and we can’t get enough of them. Here we’ve made you a kind of photo album of particularly successful shots.

While some celebrities’ turbulent personal lives are constantly in the media, others have been in a relationship for years and live a quiet family life.

They got married spontaneously when, after a short while of knowing each other, Bette proposed to Martin. There were difficult times in their marriage, but they overcame them and have remained together for 38 years.
