This evening, the president will hold a speech at the Congress.

According to his administration, the focus of his speech is the American spirit and how he plans to change it for the best.

The president will keep an optimistic tone and will present his ideas for improving the economy.

His team talked with reporters ahead of the speech and gave a clue of what it will be about.

Trump will express his view about America and his plans on solving the real problems of the American citizens.

As people have waited so long for help from politic figures, the wait is over now. He will tell the Congress to join and fight for America.

He wants a fresh start and wants to put the base of this start with this convention.

After such a hectic first month in charge with so many backlashes received, he wants to start over.

This month, he was lashed out at for his immigration ban, for the health care system, that fails to appear, Russian ties and his national security adviser. And let’s not mention the media and the intelligence community, that have been bothering him.

As his staff says, Trump wants his speech to be perfect. Last night, he spent a lot of time reading it again and adding improvements with a group of speechwriters.

The two things he hopes to achieve are: economic improvement and safety of the nation.

The promises he made and kept will also be brought into discussion.

This week, the president is set to issue another order regarding the foreign policies. This time, the order has been thought through and is more attentive to details.

 

 

Leonardo DiCaprio, to blame for Oscar flub?

The mix-up on Sunday night at the Oscars has sparked all kinds of theories.

One of them involves Leonardo DiCaprio. Because the actor waited so much to finally get the trophy, people think he got his revenge by mixing up the envelopes.

He was present as the show and even presented a category. Leo welcomed the winner, Emma Stone, on stage.

This theory says that Leonardo, who had the envelope, switched it with the “Moonlight” one for Best Picture.

Warren Beatty is the one that presented the award for Best Picture.

He announced ‘La La Land’ as the winner as the envelope was the one with Stone’s name on it.

This mistake definitely made the internet go crazy. All kinds of conspiracy theories have emerged. Even president Trump has one.

Trump thinks that the event focused so hard on him that they couldn’t keep it together at the end.

The Twitter user that shared the theory about DiCaprio received hundreds of likes and comments.

Leo did win his precious Oscar last year, so a revenge would not be necessary anymore.

Others blame Matt Damon, they think it was his way of getting revenge on the host. Jimmy Kimmel, who is friends with the actor, made tons of jokes about him during the night.

While the netizens come up with these theories, the one responsible might have already been found.

Apparently, Brian Cullinan handed the envelope to the presenter. He has been working for a long time with the association.

This incident might be the biggest deal ever at the Oscars in all history.

Harvard elects Black woman as president

In the last 130 years, no Black woman was chosen as the president of the Harvard Law Review. Now, this finally happened.

At the end of last month, a 24-year-old named ImeIme Umana was elected as the president of their following volume, the 131^st one.

Umana comes from a Nigerian family that migrated to the United States. She has three more siblings.

The Harvard publication is one of the most-cited worldwide.

In the law school, this position is the best one you can have as a student. This also comes with privileges and ensures you get a great position in the legal world.

About a half of the members of the Supreme Court have served at this publication.

Umana feels honored to receive this position. While she thinks this is magic, her colleagues think that she received the position based on her sharp mind and her ability to be a leader.

The 24-year-old is packed with a lot of skills.

The fact that she is Black is even more important, as this publication is usually ruled by white men.

Umana has her own perspective and her position will definitely bring a change in the publication. She keeps in mind other Black women’s relationships with the law.

While most of her colleagues want to get jobs in major corporations, Umana’s dream is different. She has always dreamt of being a public defender. She already has a plan for an internship this summer in Washington.

The process of picking a president was long. Each student had his portfolio evaluated rigorously.

Umana is a remarkable young woman, who has definitely made history. We are going to hear a lot about her, as her future seems bright.

Selena Gomez and her new boyfriend take Europe by storm.

After she supported The Weeknd in Amsterdam at his concert, the two packed for Paris.

On Monday evening, the lovebirds were seen out at a restaurant in one of the most romantic capitals of the world.

While they enjoyed a romantic dinner, Abel’s ex was just a few blocks away partying. Bella Hadid is also in Paris for the fashion week. She and her friends were partying.

Bella rocked a red coat and black boots. She seemed really amused as she stepped out of the venue.

Of course, Selena and Abel were totally unaware of her presence. The two left the restaurant and returned to the hotel.

For the date night, Selena looked sexy with a turtleneck sweater with no sleeves.

The fashion week starts today. Bella is set to walk some major runways. Last week, she was in Milan and before that, in London.

Selena and The Weeknd seem really close. Since they were seen the first time out as a couple, they just kept on making appearances.

At the end of last week, Abel held a concert in Amsterdam. His girlfriend was next to him and supported him. According to a source close to the singer, Gomez will join Abel in some of his concerts held in Europe.

Although Selena is busy herself, she still made time to fly and support her beau.

The Weeknd will have concerts in Germany, the United Kingdom and a few other states. He will then perform in America.

Spring arrives in the US three weeks earlier. Is climate change to blame?

In the United States, spring has already arrived. The temperatures have increased and the first signs of spring have already been noticed in several states.

The US Geological Survey have been watching carefully the flora. When the flora comes to life, Spring has definitely arrived.

In some states, the signs are clear. New York is one of these states, along Arizona and New Mexico.

Many are enjoying this, the warmer weather and the nature that comes to be life. However, from a scientifically point of view, this just means that the climate change just keeps on moving faster.

According to a recently released research, it is now moving 170 times faster than it was believed it would.

According to a geologist from the Geological Survey, this sudden spring is actually a huge threat to the economy and the society. Most were happy that Spring arrives early, but it makes it harder to manage some issues that are significant.

Illnesses created by insects show up early. Droughts during the summer are likely to appear in a larger number. Other climatic events are also prone to occur, such as hurricanes.

Insects and animals will also be affected. Bees will not expect spring to come so soon, so they will be unprepared. Animals and some plants will have warmth, while others will not beneficiate from it.

While the organization fights for these species and the environment, the Trump administration is looking for ways to censor it or even make it disappear.

Kellyanne Conway makes herself at home at the White House

On Monday, the president hosted in the Oval Office several leaders from universities and colleges from across the country. Kellyanne Conway joined them and took pictures of them at the end of the meeting.

The Counselor seemed very comfortable. She hopped on the couch to take the pictures with her heels on and seemed to feel just as home.

Of course, the counselor was caught on camera. Indeed, the guests were looking funny at Miss Kellyanne and her sitting posture.

As the pictures made it to the internet, netizens blasted her and called her position disrespectful. Some were shocked by the way she acted. Others mocked the counselor.

“Just when you thought the administration couldn’t shock you more”, wrote someone.

Some took this as an insult to the Black community.

While Trump was with his guests, Conway is seen texting on her iPhone.

The guests were from major and historical universities from across the country.

This is not the first time Trump’s adviser receives backlash. Last week, she was accused of misconduct. Fifteen professors specialized in ethics complained about Conway.

Earlier this month, people lashed out at her after she urged everyone to go and buy Ivanka Trump’s clothing line. This happened during an interview with a TV network.

During Barack Obama’s time in office, he also received backlash. He was numerously seen with his feet on the desk, which many interpreted as a sign of disrespect for the historical desk, which was a gift from England.

Emma Watson is currently promoting her latest movie, “Beauty and the Beast”. The film is probably the most anticipated one of this year and will be out in less than a month.

Fans can’t wait to see the actress’ take on the infamous Disney princess.

For the promotional tour, Emma sported some pretty great outfits, some of them giving total princess vibes.

Her latest one is a nude Eli Saab gown. Emma wore it to the premiere in Shanghai. The dress features embellishments and a cape and is worthy of a princess. The actress paired the gown with a bold red lip.

In London, Emma chose to wear black. She chose a pantsuit with a cutout. The outfit is created by 3.1 Philip Lim. This time, she chose a soft makeup and black stiletto heels.

Still in London, but for the launch event, Emma opted for a dress that totally made her look like Cinderella. The gown, created by Emilia Wickstead, was in a gorgeous shade of baby blue. The outfit featured a long train. Again, she had a ‘no makeup’ makeup look and had her hair made in a romantic do.

While these three looks were incredibly beautiful, her first fashion choice was not as good.

For the photo call in Paris, she wore an electric blue dress with a thigh-high slit. She paired the Louis Vuitton creation with black boots. She also had a ring created by Repossi.

We can’t wait to see the movie and the actress as Belle.

Last week, Beyoncé let all the Coachella attendees disappointed after she announced she won’t be performing after all. Her pregnancy, which is already too advanced, stops her from performing.

New rumors say that Rihanna and Chance the Rapper will be replacing her at the big festival.

Beyoncé still has to be replaced by someone as she was supposed to show up on stage for several days.

A source from inside claims that Rihanna and the rapper will perform. It’s not sure if they will perform as a duo or separately.

Rihanna’s fans will definitely be excited for this.

Chance the Rapper has a crazy success right now, he won several Grammys this month. He is also friends with Beyoncé and Jay Z. The rapper has an exciting new album that was awarded, fans will definitely be happy to see him at Coachella.

The festival will kick off in April and will host major celebrities, not only in attendance, but on the stage.

From all the performers, Beyoncé was by far the most anticipated. People were disappointed and some have already asked for their money back.

People also wanted to have other major celebs perform, such as Frank Ocean. Justin Bieber was also a request. Bieber will for sure not make an appearance as he is now holding his tour worldwide.

Coachella didn’t announce anything about this until now.

These days, Rihanna dropped a new song in collaboration with Future. She is also set to receive a huge honor. Harvard will honor her for her philanthropic work.

A woman from the Netherlands, aged 99, had a pretty interesting wish on her bucket list. Annie wanted to get arrested and she did.

So, what did she do to get arrested?

Well, nothing. Fortunately for her, her niece stepped in and helped her complete the last thing on her bucket list. Her niece just called the police department from her area and told about her aunt’s wish.

The police were more than happy to help. They offered their services immediately.

They picked the 99-year-old, drove her with the police car and then brought her to the station.

The pictures of her getting arrested made it to the internet and are the cutest thing ever. The elderly woman seems to have a blast as she can’t stop smiling and laughing.

Annie was handcuffed by the police officers and left in the cell for a few moments. She felt exactly like a criminal.

The police officers declared that this is not something they usually do. For, Annie, however, they made an exception. She just spent a few minutes in the cell just to see how this really feels.

They are still wondering why she put this on her bucket list. They shared a few pictures of her on the police’s official Facebook page.

Her story is definitely funny and sweet. Her reasons for having this wish will probably remain unknown to us. Apparently, it was a life-long dream that she never managed to fulfil. Annie definitely had the time of her life and all thanks to her niece and the police.

Cassey Affleck winning and Oscar has women revolted. Find out why

On Sunday, Casey Affleck won the Oscar for Best Actor. In spite of his performance in the film, his history makes people angry at him.

Women were revolting when they found out he got a nomination in the first place.

It seems like famous men are more likely to get away with anything, especially with harassment.

The actor has been charged a few years ago for harassment.

While he was on the set of a movie, he made despicable things to some of his female co-stars. He was on the set of “I’m Still here”.

Affleck called his co-stars names, such as “cows”. He also insisted that a woman that was working there would share a room with him at the hotel. As the woman refused him, Affleck sent her all kinds of crazy text messages.

Another one found him in her bed, hugging her in her sleep. She was in her hotel room, in her bed in only his underwear. He was holding her.

As the woman kicked him off her room, Affleck made her world a living hell. He made everyone on set bully her. She eventually had to quit.

In spite of all these, the actor was still honored with this award. But it’s not only the honor, but a career boost.

As he now owns an Oscar, his career will skyrocket. Roles will just keep on coming. This will also bring more success. The only ones that have something to lose from this are the women he harassed.

Praising such persons at such an important event is hurtful for the victims and not only. Upon learning about his win, many responded and revolted.

The Cleveland Cavaliers just brought a new member to their team. Devon Williams is the newest addition.

The manager of the team made the announcement yesterday. Williams will have number 31 on his jersey.

Prior to this, he played for the Dallas Mavericks. He had a pretty good season. He played in forty games in total this season. He has an average of 13.2 points.

For Williams, this is the twelfth season in NBA. Along his career, he made appearances in 821 games. He played for New Jersey amongst others.

Williams has been three times the NBA All-star. He has been for three years in a row starting 2011.

At the Olympics in Beijing in 2008, he won a gold medal for his contribution in the United States’ team.

Four years later, at the Olympics held in London, he won another gold medal as part of the same team.

In the season from 2007 and 2008, he made history. He was one of the three player to have 1500 points and eight hundred assists while shooting. He joined Magic and Kevin Johnson on the record list.

Williams took the decision to join the team on Saturday. He initially wanted to join another club, but changed his mind.

With such an impressive career and so much experience, Williams will definitely do good at the Cavaliers. The change will also be beneficial for him.

The Cavaliers already have an impressive line-up. They are also thinking about adding Andrew Bogut.

Are Kylie Jenner and Tyga getting married?

Kylie and Tyga have been dating for a while now. But, does this mean they have serious thoughts?

The business mogul has been seen with several sparkles along the time given to her by her boyfriend. But did Tyga pop the big question?

According to Hollywood Life, the two will star in a spin-off series that will be all about their wedding and honeymoon.

The momager, Kris, can’t wait to see the diamond ring on her daughter’s finger. She is the number one supporter of their relationship. Of course, if they ever get married, the event needs to be highly mediatized.

Right now, she is looking to close business deals, because her youngest has finally decided to tie the knot.

When it comes to their family, they always try to make money through media. Their most important family events have always been mediatized.

Of course, such a business does not come for little money.

Kris hopes to offer the entire wedding process to the fans. Kylie wants this as well.

When Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries a while ago, their wedding was broadcasted on their show. It looks like Kris wants to repeat history and make another one of her daughters show their wedding on TV.

Khloe also had her event shown on TV. She was the first one to do so.

We will have to wait for a while to hear the wedding bells, though. The rapper still hasn’t proposed to Kylie.  They sure look really in love and ready for commitment.

The spin-off series are just a rumor for now, but, who knows, maybe the Kardashian clan will surprise us once again.

Have a look inside Elizabeth Taylor’s home right in time for her birthday

The actress is born on February 27th. This year, she would have turned 85 years old. So, to celebrate this icon, have a look at her house.

Let’s make one thing clear: her public persona and the real her are completely different. In public, Elizabeth displayed this diva-like persona. She wore only couture and always was sporting diamonds.

But, besides the image everyone knew her for, Elizabeth was much more. She was a philanthropist and was always fighting for a cause.

A photographer released a book that explored the differences between the Elizabeth in public life and the one in her most intimate moments. The book is entitled “700 Nimes Road”, because this is Taylor’s home address.

Catherine Opie is the one that released the book. It contains a series of photographs of the late star at her home or of her personal items.

Opie took over three thousand photos of Elizabeth’s house. She spent almost six months taking them. She took them when Elizabeth was still alive, right before she passed away.

The photos are taken just in their home. She didn’t take any portraits of the actress. Opie didn’t met her.

Regardless of the image she promoted in public, Elizabeth was very different in her intimacy. People tend to think of her as shallow, but in fact she just had a thing for fashion. She was materialistic indeed.

Her house reflects her both personalities. It contains works of art and lavish items, but is also really cozy.

 

Trump knows who’s to blame for the leaks, Obama!

After the president dealt with leaks made by his own staff, he knows who to blame and that is none other than Barack Obama.

In an interview with one of his favorite TV shows, the president exposed his theory.

 He is absolute sure that the former president and his staff are behind the leaks. They are responsible for endangering the safety of the nation.

However, he understands, because this is how politics are. Obama just acts like it is supposed to in politics. Trump expects more of this coming from him.

Well, this theory is definitely interesting. Not only that he blames Obama for it, but in the same time, he is also very understanding.

In spite of his declaration, he offered no evidence to support the claims. Like usual!

Trump has become really paranoiac of leaks. Last week, he went as far as searching the telephones of his staff. He named Sean Spicer in charge of this.

He is in the office for merely a month and the leaks have made his life a nightmare. While it is believed his own staff is to blame, the president argues that the intelligence communities are the ones responsible.

He even called out FBI, which is responsible for the wreckage of the security.

This isn’t the first time Trump blames Obama. It seems like it is becoming a habit. He is also certain that Obama is to blame for the protests that are taking place against him. The former president’s team sabotaged his agenda.

Well, we found out one thing that Trump is good at: conspiracy theories.

It looks like Space X will make history next year. It has been revealed that the company will send two paying customers in a mission with their crew next year.

This is the first time in almost 45 years when humans reach that far into the space. They are planning to go beyond our natural satellite and make history.

Elon Musk, the CEO, definitely has big plans. He has been, after all, named a risk taker.

The mission will take about one week. It will first reach the area near the moon and then it will go further.

Musk himself delivered this piece of news. The mission will most likely happen at the end of the next year.

It’s still secret who will be the lucky ones going into space. Also, we don’t know how much they paid. This information will probably be kept private.

The craft that will be featured in the mission is entitled NASA Dragon.

After a while ago Musk announced this mission on social media, the two approached his company and said they want in.

According to the CEO, the sum they paid is significant. Maybe Elon wants to fight his financial issues like this.

The two customers wanted to have their identities kept secret. They are really serious about the mission.

Space X released a statement and said that this will enable humans to reach the space again and at a speed that was never seen before.

The company is aware of the risks and hopes that the two will also be. This year, they will have to go through several tests.

Yesterday, a small plane crashed into two houses in California. Several people were injured and three of them passed away.

The accident was terrifying. The ones that were affected were the passengers of the plane. There were five passengers in total, including three teenagers.

The parents brought their children to Disneyland. They were from San Jose.

The fire department from the area was called and showed up at the scene at about 5PM. They noticed upon arrival that the two houses were destroyed by the crash. Fire also erupted.

The first victim found was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital. One of the survivors, a teenage girl, was thrown out of the aircraft.

After investigating the plane, the firemen found out the three persons that passed out.

One of the victims underwent a surgery. He was found inside the houses, that were burning in flames. His condition is critical.

According to eyewitnesses, a woman stepped out from one of the homes with her clothes on fire. She said that she was the pilot.

After the family visited Disneyland, they were on their way home. The neighborhood they crashed into was a residential one.

A teacher that was during her class at a school nearby saw the plane right before it crashed. It was raining. She says that everything happened really fast, it just went down and then a loud crash was heard.

Some of the locals thought it was an earthquake as the ground shook.

The ones that live in the houses near the accident were taken to a center.

On the red carpet at the Oscars this year, celebrities delivered a major flashback of the last century. Some of them wore outfits inspired by the ones worn by the biggest celebs ever.

Charlize Theron wore a gorgeous Dior dress that is inspired by Marylin Monroe. The both gowns feature a gold material and a deep cleavage and let’s not mention the blonde hair.

Dakota Johnson wore a gold Gucci gown that looked a lot like Raquel Welch’s one from ’82. Both the actress looked amazing. Dakota’s dress has a more modern take.

Oscar-winner actress Brie Larson wore a black strapless dress. It gave major vibes of Kim Novak, who sported a similar dress last century. While Novak’s gown was sequined, Larson’s was made of velvet. Her dress was designed by Oscar de la Renta.

Felicity Jones wore a dress inspired by Elizabeth Taylor. The late actress wore it at the Oscars in ’56. Both the outfits are made of chiffon and have tiny straps.

Model Karlie Kloss wore a white gown created by Stella McCartney. The dress resembled the one worn by none other than Sophia Loren. The both dresses feature the same cut.

Hailee Steinfield wore a floral dress made of lace. In ’42, Rita Hayworth wore a similar gown in one of her musicals.

Jessica Biel chose to wear gold as well. Her dress looked a lot like Ann Sheridan’s.

We are glad to see our celebs drawing inspiration from such major personalities of the 20^th century. They looked gorgeous and perfect for the Oscars.

Half of all species will go extinct in a century’s time

Scientists have not so good news.

As in the last forty years, the planet lost almost a half of the life in the wildness, things might not look really good in the future decades as well.

At the end of this century, more than fifty per cent of the species will go extinct.

This result came after a convention held at Vatican. Specialists from various fields gathered: economy, biology, etc.

The Catholic church itself has hosted the event. Pope Francis has been very vocal about climate change and environmental issues and raised awareness anytime he had the opportunity.

The organizers of the conference released a statement. They say that everything is slipping right through our hands and we don’t do anything to save this planet.

Last year, the pope sent a letter to several bishops. He thinks that destroying the environment is one of the most sinful things we can’t do. It’s a sin against the Lord.

Until now, the world has gone through several major extinctions. There were five in total, including one that had nearly 97% of the species gone.

If something is not done soon enough, we might face a sixth major extinction.

Some of the things we do, have a major impact on the wildlife. Cutting forests entirely, pollution, fishing, these practices have increased considerably in the latest years.

If we keep doing all of these things, this extinction will definitely occur. A change needs to happen quickly.

There are organizations that fight for climate change and the environment, but change needs to come from every single one of us.

Kathy Hilton: ‘Jennifer Aniston is having a baby girl’

Immediately after the Oscars, where Jennifer Aniston and her husband showed up, someone made a very controversial comment about her.

Kathy Hilton tweeted that the 48-year-old is expecting a baby girl. She wrote that she looked stunning that night and she will for sure have a girl.

This comment is obviously weird, as the actress didn’t say anything about a pregnancy. Maybe Hilton knows something we don’t.

The actress looked gorgeous in a black sequined gown that featured a thigh-high slit. Her husband, Justin Theroux, joined her on the red carpet.

Aniston was one of the presenters of the night. She nearly broke down on stage as she presented the video in memoriam of the actors that passed away.

As she looked so great at the Oscars, we wouldn’t believe she is pregnant. She looked really fit.

There have been rumors about her being pregnant before, but she denied it all. Aniston got sick and tired of all the rumors being spread about her, that she even wrote a letter to fight back.

As Hilton tweeted this, some believe she actually got her mixed up with someone else. Maybe with Natalie Portman, who wasn’t there that night.

Kathy still hasn’t erased her tweet. The Twitter users are still trying to figure out what’s the thing with her comment.

A representative of Aniston responded to an online publication and said that she is not pregnant. Also, she never met Hilton.

A source close to the couple declared that they are aware of the fact that her age will no longer allow her to have babies.

Rosie and her gorgeous fiancé attended the Vanity Fair party that took place after the Oscars. The beautiful British model flaunted her baby bump for the first time on the red carpet.

Around the same time last year, Rosie flashed her engagement ring.

The 29-year-old announced her pregnancy on social media a while ago.

She and her fiancé looked like the perfect couple. They were both handsome and dapper. Rosie wore a grey Versace dress that showed plenty of cleavage. Her growing baby bump was noticeable.

To pair the gorgeous outfit, the model opted for diamond earrings. Her hair was pulled in a sophisticated do.

Jason looked handsome as always in a black suit and a bow tie.

This beautiful couple has been dating for six years.  Jason popped the question last year and gave his beautiful girl a huge diamond ring.

We still not know the gender of the baby, as the overjoyed parents probably want to keep it a secret for now.

Pregnancy is definitely looking good on Whitely. She was glowing and looked really happy. She and her boyfriend attend this party almost annually.

They are really excited and can’t wait to welcome their baby.

The UFC champion celebrated his birthday with a lavish party. Only A-listers were invited to celebrate Floyd’s 40^th birthday.

The party took place on Saturday in one of the most exclusivist places in LA.

Like usual, lots of money were spent to throw the best bash out there. He had Bengal tigers, $100 bills with his face on it and portraits of him all over the walls.

Mayweather hosted more than 13000 guests, including Justin Bieber.

The birthday boy sported an all-back ensemble and a pair of black sunglasses. He had a sequined blazer and lots of bling bling: a large diamond ring and a huge watch.

The venue had an open bar. Burger sliders were served and sandwiches with chicken.

Of course, the place was decorated in a very luxurious way, with chandeliers and disco balls. And let’s not mention his face that was omnipresent. The champion had a golden throne right in the middle.  Security guards were always by his side.

Mayweather took pictures with Mariah, who also showed up. The singer brought her new boy-toy, Brian Tanaka. Mariah really wanted to be there. She wrote that she especially came to LA for him.

President Donald Trump has a serious issue with the media and has bashed it every time he had the chance.

The former president, George Bush, completely disagrees with Donald Trump. In an interview with “Today”, he declared that media is necessary in a democracy.

Bush approached a series of topics, including the thirst for power. He thinks that power can get addictive.

Regarding the media, it is necessary for the well-being of the democracy. It is important that it is free and independent.

When it comes to the ones in charge, it’s important that media takes them into account, especially the ones that abuse their power.

With these being said, it is clear that the former president is not really fond of Trump.

When Russia came into discussion, Bush said that our press should be independent first if we want to promote this in other states.

He also opened up about the immigration ban, signed by the president in January. He agrees with a law about immigration as long as it respects the Constitution.

He thinks that the ones who kill the innocent are not religious if they do this. Everyone should be free to worship whoever they want to. People should be given this freedom.

Bush is skeptic of Trump’s skills of ruling this country. He has only been in office for one month, he wants to see what he will be able to do in four years.

Trump has declared that he wants so unify the nation, but Bush doesn’t believe he can as it is a hard thing to do.

The former president also asks answers about the ties with Russia.

The “Gossip Girl” star just got married, surprising everyone.

Penn married his beautiful girlfriend, Domino Kirke.

The happy event took place on Monday. It was very intimate, with close friends and family members. The ceremony took place in a courthouse.

The sister of the bride, Lola, shared a picture of them with their other sister, Jemima.

As her sister, Lola, said, the event was casual, so the guests were free to wear whatever they liked.

The bride looked gorgeous in a lace dress. She sported fresh makeup and soft waves. She looked very natural and glowy.

Other guests shared photos of the two lovebirds on social media.

The actor looked great in a suit and tie. He looked really happy, and so did the bride.

A photograph shows them sharing an intimate moment. The bride is looking very romantically at her groom.

The beautiful couple has been together since 2014.

Before Penn started his relationship with Domino, he was dating Zoe Kravitz.

Domino has a child from a previous relationship.

The bride has a pretty famous family. Her father is Simon Kirke. Her sisters are also pretty known as they have been involved in several projects.

The 30-year-old actor has also dated his co-star, Blake Lively. Their characters were together on the screen and they also had a short relationship off-screen.

The news was pretty unexpected for the fans, who still fantasize about the hunk. His ‘Gossip Girl’ character, Dan, was some of their favorites.

We are happy for the actor and wish him and his beautiful bride a happy marriage.

The Oscars contained a lot of political statements and funny remarks about the president. Of course, this didn’t go unnoticed by Donald Trump himself, who responded the following day.

The president declared to Breitbart that the ceremony focused so hard on him, that at the end they couldn’t keep it together. That’s why the infamous confusion happened.

He adds that it was sad to watch and all of this took away the glamour that would in the past characterize the Oscars.

Trump has been to the Oscars in the past and experienced the glamour, but this time it wasn’t present.

He thinks of the end, which was sad for him. The two presenters mixed up the winners for Best Picture. The whole cast of “La La Land” resurfaced on the scene, only to find out that they aren’t actually the winners.

‘Moonlight’ brought home the trophy.

Trump must have watched the ceremony the next day as on Sunday night he was busy. Him and the First Lady hosted a dinner at the White House.

The president held a speech and didn’t forget to praise his time in office and the many achievements he made.

During the Oscars, many jokes were made about him. The host, Jimmy Kimmel, promised in advance that he would mock him. He even wrote on Twitter: “are you up?” and tagged him.

Trump’s eldest son also made a remark about the ceremony on his Twitter. He called the mistake interesting and Hollywood insensitive.

The Festival at Rio de Janeiro kicked off last week.

According to The Telegraph, more than twenty people were injured while they were partying at the famous festival. A car that was part of the show hit them.

Three of them have several injuries and one man is in a critical state. He was crushed by the car, who pushed him into a security fence.

The accident occurred at the beginning of the festival. The vehicle is owned by a school that specializes in samba. It is entitled Paraiso de Tuiuti.

At first, the authorities stopped the festival to let all the medics come. They made sure that everyone is safe. Firemen were also there. After everyone was hospitalized, the festival began again.

The police department of Rio de Janeiro took hold of the school’s vehicle.

Annually, the streets of the Brazilian city gather more than three thousand dancers. They compete for the title of the best school of dance in Rio de Janeiro. The competitors come from twelve schools from the city.

This year, it was a great possibility that the show would not take place as the country deals with a major economic issue.

The festival is one of the most famous ones worldwide and welcomes tourists from all over the globe. The country managed to hold it in spite of their problems.

Corruption and violence are some of their main issues.

Although Rio still kept the festival, more than thirty others from around the country canceled it. In some towns, police officers protested, while others simply lack the money.

On Saturday, during the match between Slovacko and Bohemians, a player almost died. Fortunately, a member of the other team stepped in at the right moment and saved his life heroically.

The one who almost lost his life is 28-year-old Martin Berkovec. He tried to catch a ball, but while doing so, he collided with another player. He immediately fell to the ground and people started noticing he was limp.

Francis Kone, who plays for Slovacko, rushed by his side after he noticed his condition. What he did was put his finger into his mouth as he would have swallowed his tongue.

Medics rushed to their side and then Berkovec was taken to the hospital.

If it weren’t for Kone, the player would have lost his life.

After he got well at the hospital, Berkovec took to Facebook to thank the player for rescuing him. He is now recovering.

In a press conference from after the game, the coach of Slovacko praised Francis Kone for his amazing intervention.

“Hats off”, declared the coach. This is the way players should act.

The 26-year-old Kone has a bit of a reputation as a life-saver. He declared that this was his fourth time pulling someone’s tongue to save them.

Until now, Kone played for various countries, including Thailand, Hungary and Portugal.

The incident made it to the internet and has everyone in awe of hero Kone. Even though it was almost tragic, this incident sparked things up, as no goal was encountered during the game.

When it comes to controversy, Karl Lagerfeld is not afraid of it.

At the end of last week, the designer called out Meryl Streep. He claimed that she asked for money to wear his creation and called her cheap. This erupted into a huge scandal, with the actress fighting back.

But, this is not the only time the famous designer blasts celebrities.

Adele was one of his ‘victims’. Lagerfeld thought that the Grammy-winning singer is a little too fat. He then tried to defend his opinion by only making it worse, calling her ‘roundish’. Then, he said that she is beautiful especially after losing so much weight.

Pippa Middleton was also dissed by the German. He declared that he doesn’t like her face and her back should be the only thing seen.

Lagerfeld also said that he prefers her sister, who looks better. Her mother was also a better choice, being sexy.

Kristen Stewart, who seems to be him muse, was criticized by Karl. When showed a picture of the actress showing the middle finger, he called the gesture rude and the one that does it does not have the ‘best behavior’.

When asked about his favorite singer and Lana Del Rey, he said that he has other preferences. And then said that she is not that bad.

Madonna had enough of his criticism and lashed out at him after he dissed Adele.

Even Kim Kardashian, with whom he seems in good relations, was dissed by him. He was not surprised to see her as the victim of burglary.

Princess Diana is in his opinion beautiful, but stupid.

He always tried to defend his opinions, by claiming they were taken out of context.

Muslim director wins Oscar, blasts Trump for his immigration ban

Asghar Farhadi and his movie, “The Salesman” won an Oscar last night.

Unfortunately, the director could not be there to claim the award himself. The thing that stopped him is the immigration ban.

 A couple of weeks before the big event, Farhadi opened up about the Oscars and said that he won’t attend it for political reasons.

He is not the only one that could not attend it. The lead actress, Taraneh Alidoosti, declared right after the ban was implemented that she won’t be in the US for the awards. She called the president a racist.

To accept his award, Farhadi released a statement that was read by the one that accepted the trophy on his behalf.

He starts by saying he apologizes for not being there. This a sign of disrespect towards his country and the other six that were affected by the “inhumane law”.

Farhadi thinks that Trump’s policy has divided the world. This is definitely a justification for why war and terror exist.

This is not the first time Farhadi is nominated and wins. In 2012, his film became the first Iranian movie to win an Oscar.

“The Salesman” is a story about a school teacher who is looking for revenge. He wants to punish the attacker of his wife.

Other persons that didn’t make it last night are Syrians who filmed a documentary. They said that they received visas specially to come to the Oscars, but they didn’t come as they were afraid they would have problems at the border.

Research suggests the Moon is a planet

https://stocknewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/fullmoon.jpg

A team of researchers from NASA, that is led by Alan Stern, released an article about the moon and the possibility of it being a planet.

Stern is one of the scientists that want to make Pluto a planet again and even plans on opening this subject again.

Recently, some publications made headlines with theories about the moon.

Stern’s paper explains the characteristics of a body that make it a planet. He mentions Pluto as well, as he is still angry about it not having the ‘planet’ status anymore.

Thinking about the moon as a planet is definitely weird, as we always knew it as being a natural satellite. But, at the beginning of times, astronomers believed that the moon is, indeed, a planet.

The ancient astronomers thought it was something with it as it was moving, unlike other stars. They also found interesting the way they could see some of its features really clear.

Philosophers would ask themselves in their works why the moon does show us just only one of its sides.

Aristotle, for example, thought that the moon was not able to rotate. He also thought this about the planets.

Centuries later, there were also theories about the moon being a planet.

However, these theories are not right, as they also had a different perception of how the universe really works. At that time, they believed the Earth was the center of the universe and the Sun was the one revolving around it.

Stern and his new paper argue about this subject. He thinks that people should listen to planetary scientists when it comes to this, as they are the ones that studied more in depth.

One of the highlights of the Oscar night is Nicole Kidman’s inability to clap.

The actress is caught on camera when she applauds, but the way her hands look is rather weird.

Of course, it wasn’t much until the video became an internet sensation. This sparked lots of funny tweets and memes.

One user advised the 49-year-old actress to clap like “a normal person”. Others thought that she looked really funny, like a seal. And others pointed to the fact that celebrities are not normal.

In spite of this small incident, the actress looked gorgeous in an Armani gown. She was joined by her gorgeous husband.

Earlier, before arriving on the red carpet, the nominee experienced a bit of a problem with her outfit. She had a wardrobe malfunction. The strap of her dress broke, which had the actress in a bit of a panic.

She managed to solve the problem and looked amazing the whole night.

The 49-year-old paired the nude dress with lots of diamonds. She had a bold red lip and a nude pair of heels. The gown she had was backless and she let it all see as she had her hair made in a bun.

She and her husband looked really in love. A picture captures Keith looking at his beautiful wife with a very special look on his face.

Unfortunately, she didn’t win an Oscar last night, but she looked like she had plenty of fun. She managed to become an internet sensation, so that’s something.

The President and the First Lady hosted a dinner yesterday. The White House hosted the biggest event since Trump is in charge. Almost fifty governors were present.

The event could not go by without the president delivering a speech. He gave a toast for the governors and even cracked a joke, saying they have an easy job.

Of course, Trump opened up about the achievements he made during this month in charge. Him and his administration managed to accomplish almost everything they wanted.

The theme of the event hosted by the couple is “Spring’s Renewal”. According to his staff, the White House has become a place where Spring is eternal, it completely came to life with Trump’s arrival.

The First Lady Melania looked gorgeous in a black dress and seemed to enjoy the festivities.

Ivanka and her husband were also there. The First Daughter was as cordial as before, mingling with the guests and making conversation. Ivanka, just like her step-mother, opted for a black gown.

In his speech, the president declared himself as really proud of his team. Although the world confronts with major issues right now, he is happy with the way things are working at The White House.

Some of the promises that he made in the years of campaign were already respected.

This was the first annual event hosted by him. A day before, he announced that he won’t attend the White House Correspondents Dinner, creating a lot of controversy.

On the course of Monday, Trump and the governors will have a meeting. He hopes that the health care system would be a subject of discussion.

This is why actors wore blue ribbons at the Oscars

Last night at the Oscars, some artists were seen wearing blue ribbons. Everyone wondered for what they are for. Of course, they were meant to send a political message.

This was a way to show support for an organization, entitled the Cities Liberty Union.

Although a simple gesture, the meaning behind it is worth a thousand words. It was a fight for the rights of the American citizens and not only.

This organization has fought against some of Trump’s actions since he is in charge. Some of them include the human rights.

Amongst the ones that wore these ribbons is Lin-Manuel Miranda. The nominee was joined by his mother at the event. They both sported the blue ribbons.

He wore a black suit, which he says is created by the same place that created his outfit for a prom twenty years ago.

Ruth Negga pinned the statement to her beautiful red dress.

Model Karlie Kloss pinned it to the skirt of her pure white gown.

Like the most events this year, artists wanted to get political. By far the most political statement made on the red carpet is the diversity of races. Black people were finally honored in a large number.

Indians were also present, such as Dev Patel and his gorgeous mother, that rocked a sari.

However, there were some nominees that could not attend or did not want to because of the president’s ban.

Inclusivity, equality and acceptance are things that the Americans want to reach. Celebrities want to use their powerful voice for making this happen.

Millions of locals remained without running water in Chile after multiple powerful storms generated some landslips.

According to Reuters, three people died and other 19 are missing.

During the massive downfalls, many rivers from the area overflowed and isolated 373 people near the capital of Santiago.

In addition, millions of people remained without running water and the storms are blocking the emergency teams from helping the distressed.

The authorities announced more than one million households in Santiago are not disposing of running water.

‘Several emergency teams are working on the field to reach the isolated and to repair the water system’, wrote the Chilean president on Twitter.

In the O’Higgins region, in southern Santiago, a 12-year-old died after a landslip destroyed the car in which she was traveling.

In the San Jose de Maipo Valley, near the capital, multiple emergency units are clearing the roads for the residents to evacuate the affected areas.

This is the second most violent flood for Chile

In April, several torrential showers of rain affected the San Jose de Maipo Valley and a person died.

The production process of Chile’s largest and most important copper mines was interrupted.

Last month, the South American country confronted with one of the most aggressive fires that killed nearly 11 people.

The massive fire extended in the central and southern regions of the country and it was extinguished in almost two weeks.

According to the Chilean authorities, the fire was triggered by a criminal hand.

 

Father who lost his son in Yemen raid blasts Trump

Last month, during a raid in Yemen, a member of the US services was killed. His family was shaken by the news. The father of the military broke his silence and lashed out the president.

Bill Owens lost his son, William, a distinguished soldier and he cannot get over it. As the body of his son returned to the United States, the man learned that the president would come to pay his respects.

When he found out about this, he refused immediately. He was afraid that he would cause a scene as he would see Donald Trump right in front of his eyes. And, if he comes, he would not talk to him.

Apparently, the man did not vote for Trump.

Bill is a veteran himself. He has many questions about the raid. He thinks that it was a stupid move, especially coming after the president was in office for merely seven days.

 The White House learned about his declaration and has since responded. Of course, the spokesperson defended the raid. He praised the fallen soldier, who made a major sacrifice for his nation. For the tremendous work, they will always remember him, a hero.

The White House officials believe the mission was an important one in the war that has been going on between the US and the radical Islam.

The raid ended up with the first deaths under Trump’s presidency. Not only William, but several other soldiers were injured. Citizens were also affected with several ones being killed.

Now, the father of the fallen fights for an investigation. He believes that the Government is owing it to his son.

A couple of years ago, Shannen Doherty made known the news that she has cancer. The actress shared each moment with her fans and inspired everyone with her strength.

Now, she finally completed all of the chemotherapy sessions.

The diagnose broke her and made her seriously fear for her life.

But, she was brave and fought hard. Her family was by her side all this time.

On Friday, she posted a picture on social media, announcing everyone that she had her very last day in chemo.

She feels exhausted and a little bit nervous as she is waiting for the final results. She hopes she managed to defeat this terrible illness.

Since she was diagnosed, she went through a lot. She watched as all of her hair fell down and then, with the help of her mother, she got rid of it all. The actress shared everything online.

She also posted a picture from the hospital. Doherty had to go there five days a week.

She is thankful for that place, because it saved her, but in the same time, she hated that she had to go through something like that.

Although this was a tough phase in her life, Shannen thinks that this made a better person. She made her be a better human and made her understand the world around her better.

Doherty admits that this was probably the roughest time in her life, but she is somehow thankful for it. It made her see things different.

We are happy for her and we hope she finally got rid of this terrible disease.

 

 

The sterling pound is in a free fall while Theresa May is preparing for Scotland’s referendum

The sterling pound dropped on Monday by 0.6% up against other important currencies, after The Times wrote that Theresa May is preparing herself for Scotland’s independence referendum.

Various official sources declared that May might allow a new voting in Scotland with one condition: to initiate the voting after UK’s exit from EU.

In 2014, 55% of the Scottish people voted for their country’s continuance in the UK.

House of Lords will analyze May’s legislative project of triggering Great Britain’s exit from EU.

The pound dropped by 0.4% at $1.2410 per unit, after it dropped at $1.2392 per unit, the lowest level reached after 17^th February.

The Scottish prime minister Nicola Sturgeon declared in numerous times that Scotland will organize a new referendum meant to separate her country from Great Britain.

This means Scotland will no longer remain on the European unique market after the Brexit.

Scotland voted to stay in EU at the referendum organized in June but they are still obligated to leave the global organization due to the pro-Brexit voted from England.

May promised to consult with the Scottish government, with Wales and North Ireland before official negotiations with EU, set to start in March.

Sturgeon wants the UK to remain on the unique market and the commerce to unfold in a regular way.

However, during a speech held in January about the Brexit, British prime-minister Theresa May announced the complete separation of the United Kingdom and the abandonment of the European unique market.

Joseph Wapner was 91 years old. His son, David, declared that the 91-year-old passed away on Sunday. He died peacefully in his sleep at his home.

Before he passed away, Wapner was hospitalized after having some breathing issues. On Friday, his family brought him back home. His condition was getting worse.

Wapner was a real-life judge, after he retired, he went at auditions in Los Angeles. He is one of the first judges of the show. He was part of it for more than twelve years.

The show first appeared in 1981 and it was the first of this kind. It instantly became a sensation. This reality show then enabled others from being produced.

Joseph had very clear opinions and always made sure to made them public. He was really passionate about the things he believed in and sometimes, he even became irascible.

His verdicts were also on point and no one had a good enough reason to argue with them.

For pop culture, this show was pure gold. Parodies just kept on coming. Even SNL has sketches about it.

Wapner’s career as a judge lasted for twenty years.  He was married for seventy years and him and his wife have three children. Joseph is also a World War II veteran and got decorated for it.

In an interview, he revealed how much he likes to be part of “The People’s Court” and the feedback he receives from the public.

British prime-minister Theresa May is ready to adopt the law that bans traveling without visas for the UE immigrants.

According to the British press, the state leader will initiate the rule in the same that when she will trigger the Brexit negotiations.

As reported by the Telegraph, UE immigrants who want to travel in Great Britain after the activation of Article 50 will no longer have the right to a permanent stay.

Theresa May & the immigrants

They will summon the new legislation regarding the immigrant community after UK’s exit from the European Union.

In addition, Great Britain’s decision will also imply a new visa regime and a more restricted access into the country than ever.

According to the British paper, the prime-minister will probably mention that immigrants who travel to the UK before the law becomes adopted, they will benefit from ‘protected’ stays exactly like the British citizens who live in Europe.

The announcement is possible to become reality around 15^th March, immediately after the Article 50 will pass the parliament.

Shortly after, May must gather with all UE leaders to discuss the problem regarding the access of immigrants in the UK.

The House of Lords, the Superior Chamber of the British Parliament is gathering on Monday to analyze the Brexit project and to decide the faith of the three billion European citizens who live in the UK.

The House of Commons already approved the text on 9^th February with 494 votes.

Last week, when the debates were initiated, May told the lords to not block the text.

Last night, Viola Davis finally won her first Academy Award after waiting so much. She has been nominated before, but last night, she finally received the much-awaited award.

She won for her outstanding performance in “Fences”. What’s more important about this win is the fact that she is the very first Black actress to win an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony.

Manchester United has a lot of success this season. Last night, they managed to win another big game against Southampton. Like usual, the true star of the match was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored twice. The game was part of the EEL Cup final.

The player has a tremendous success. Although he was transferred only last summer, he already became the main attraction and scorer. Until now, he scored 26 times. The manager of the club, Jose Mourinho, is beyond happy to have him in his team.

With this win, the club gained the same number of trophies that their biggest enemy, Arsenal, have. This means 41 trophies in total and all of them are major.

This season promises to be a good one for Manchester. All the members of the team are working hard to get to the finals and get the best results.

After the game, some believe the Swede has something for Arsenal. But, Mourinho reassured that he has no such thoughts. In a press conference after the match, he opened up about whether Zlatan will continue to stay at the club or not.

The contract he initially signed is for only one year. The manager said that he is not going to beg anyone to stay at the team, but he hopes that the player will do so because he wants.

Mourinho praised Ibrahimovic and said that the reason why the won is because his performance was outstanding. He knows what he is capable of, as they have been in the past at the same club. He hopes that he will stay, but now, he can’t guarantee it.

Another faux pas scored by the organizers was the commemorative video footage which featured the photo of a woman who is still alive.

According to the material, Janet Patterson, an Australian costume designer and fourth time Oscar nominee for his contribution in ‘The Piano’, ‘Portrait of a Lady’, ‘Oscar and Lucinda’ and ‘Bright Star’, died in October 2016.

The name and the position were written correctly but the photo belongs to an Aussie movie producer who is still alive, Jan Chapman.

Indeed, the movie producer and the costume designer worked together on the set of ‘The Piano’.

The American film academy failed to comment the mishap, mostly because the awkward moment with Warren Beatty is still fresh.

The ‘In Memoriam’ section was controversial because a significant number of well-known celebrities who died in 2016 like Garry Shandling and Florence Henderson were not included.

Movie legend Bill Paxton, who dies this weekend was not included in the ‘In Memoriam’ section.

Fortunately, actress Jennifer Aniston was the only one who mentioned a few words about the late actor, who passed away a day before the gala.

Moonlight scored three awards, for Best Movie, Best Adapted Script, and Best Supporting Actor.

Musical La La Land scored six awards for Best Director, Best Leading Actress, Best Director, Best Image, Best Sound Column and Best Original Song.
