Where Is the Love? Heartbreaking LGBTQ+ Breakups: Part 2
Sustaining a happy relationship while working in the entertainment industry is no easy feat. That much has been known for decades. As a previous article of ours stated, it doesn’t matter if you fit the traditional boxes of gender and sexuality or are carving your own path. Finding that special person is hard, and making it work in the long run can be even harder — especially in Hollywood. Grab a fistful of tissues and take a look at another collection of LGBTQ+ couples that are no more.
Celebrity Instagram Posts That Are Too Relatable to Ignore
Instagram can make us feel like everything is perfect in everyone’s life but ours. It’s all fancy restaurants and vacation pictures. People don’t usually share their bad hair days on social media, you know. Still, some celebrities are exercising their right to post raw, unfiltered moments from their lives, reminding us all that everyone is human. Even if Hollywood would sometimes make us think otherwise.
These Are Some of the Worst Actors of All Time: Part 2
Talent doesn’t always guarantee success. On the flip side, being successful at something doesn’t mean one has the talent for it. Sometimes it’s about knowing the right people, sometimes it’s about being in the right place at the right time, and sometimes it’s about having a certain look. Hollywood is so full of examples of this statement that we really couldn’t fit them all into just one article.
The Scandalous Life Of Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most iconic sportsmen in the world. His stunning football skills are the things that have made him famous, but he has become much more than just a player! What do we know about this charming man? How much money does he actually make? Why have some people referred to him as “cry baby”?
LGBT Athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic Games
The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics saw a record number of LGBTQ+ athletes. Some estimates tally the total number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and nonbinary sportspeople at almost 200. This is as opposed to less than thirty Olympians at the 2012 Olympics. As will be seen, rapidly shifting social attitudes have been adopted that allow for far more inclusivity and representation without the fear of any consequence.
Some More Hair-Raising Unsolved Historical Mysteries
After publishing our previous article about some truly puzzling tales, we were happy to get feedback from you saying how wonderfully spooked you were reading it. It made us realize that the unsolved stories that didn’t make the cut to the finished product might be interesting too! So, we grabbed all of those (and some other ones we found with some extra research) and put them all in the very article you’re looking at right now.
The Strangest Phobias You Won't Believe Are Real
Heights, snakes, spiders, and peanut butter are all pretty understandable fears. Peanut butter? What? That’s right. There’s a fear of peanut butter, as well as plenty of other unexpected things. Unlike fears, phobias are extreme and persisting feelings of disgust and discomfort towards something, generally arising when in contact with that stimulus. Phobias are caused by extreme aversion or intense dislike of something.
John Lennnon's Last Live Performance
November 28, 1974, marked the last time John Lennon of the Beatles performed live. The legendary songwriter and performer shared the stage with Elton John, performing three songs, “Whatever Gets You Through the Night,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,” and “I Saw Her Standing There.” The two icons had previously collaborated on “Whatever Gets You Through the Night,” they’d had a bet about the song, which Lennon lost, as it climbed to the top of the charts.
Rare Buckingham Palace Photos You've Never Seen Before: Part 2
With a rich history, famous inhabitants, more rooms than we can count, and at least one article in our catalog, Buckingham Palace is arguably the most famous palace out there. Heavily featured in both news outlets and gossip magazines, nearly every corner of it and every event held in there have been heavily photographed. Or so we thought. After doing a little digging, we published an article featuring images of the famous building that haven’t seen as much daylight as you’d think.
The World’s Most Interesting Country Borders
Borders. The imaginary lines that have given rise to countries, kingdoms, enclaves, and exclaves. Humanity has no shortage of space where to live on this planet but has decided to demarcate well-defined perimeters of land as its own. Oftentimes, this claim has caused conflict, but other times, it has fostered rich diversity and a sharing of common goals through different cultures.
Get a Taste of the Most Bizarre Depression-Era Foods
The Meatless Meatloaf Let’s hope Meatloaf didn’t find inspiration to name himself after this dish. Known as “meatless meatloaf”, this dish was cooked in a loaf pan and could contain absolutely anything to serve as a nutrient-packed meal. Vegetarians may be tempted to take a bite due to the name of the dish but when we say anything could be added we mean cottage cheese, nuts, kidneys, offal, dried fruit, rice, and anything else available to pack as many calories into the dish as possible.
Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down These Bricks: Tetris and the Cold War
BY DAN BRAM Let’s think, for a moment, about the popular culture of the American 80s. We were a culture of excess with much to spare: everyone wanted a piece of Americana, from South Africa to Czechoslovakia, Australia to Nicaragua. Ironically enough, one of the main cravers of American pop culture was our then-eternal nemesis—the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
