Viral video: A doe and a foal played volleyball!

These two animals from Superior, Montana are the cutest and became the best friends in the world thanks to a ball and a little friendly volleyball play.

https://twitter.com/USATODAY/status/1613143308846366721

We’re talking about two different breeds of animals here, a little foal and a doe!

The two friends ran in front of each other, since a fence separated them, and they smelled each other’s muzzle, which gave a very “cute” scene.

Towards the end of the video, the eight-month-old colt is seen running away, making the doe impatient, only to come back and have fun once again with his new friend!

Unique moments like this certainly capture the attention of humans!

Megalodon: A little girl discovers a 3.5 million year old shark tooth

A nine-year-old girl discovered a “megalodon” shark tooth fossil in Maryland that is at least 3.5 million years old, which remains a fabulous find.

The girl’s mother named Molly Sampson said the girl was looking for a missing fossil on a local beach in Calvert Beach waters, and the discovery was made on Christmas morning.

Future paleontologist, Molly, was out searching for fossils on Christmas morning when, what to her wondering eyes…

Posted by Calvert Marine Museum on Friday, January 6, 2023

The tooth is palm-sized and dark in color, and it belonged to a shark Otodus magalodon.

Here is Molly’s mother Alicia’s account of the mind-blowing find:

“She told me she was wading through knee-deep water when she saw it and dove in to retrieve it. She said her arms were all wet, but it was totally worth it.”

Molly, who nicknames her fossil “Meg,” took it to the Calvert Marine Museum to confirm that the anthology piece was really what she and her family believed it to be.

The future paleontologist, because that’s what Molly wants to do for a living, was thrilled to share the discovery with the museum, which shared the session on its Facebook page.

Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime discovery for a nine-year-old?

The Crown: Elizabeth Debicki paid tribute to Lady Di at the Golden Globes

Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki, who was among the actresses nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes, did not win a statuette for her role in the Netflix series The Crown, but still drew attention with her outfit that had a special meaning for her.

Debicki, who played Princess Diana in season 5 of The Crown, indeed paid a beautiful tribute to the latter at the Golden Globes last Tuesday night.

The actress wore a sleeveless pink dress for the gala that was almost identical to one of Lady Di’s iconic dresses worn during a visit to Australia in 1983.

The actress seems to have a special interest and connection to Princess Diana’s favorite items as seen in an Instagram post from The Crown series, showing set designer, Alison Harvey, with Elizabeth Debicki discovering Diana’s accessories.

A simple and beautiful tribute for a princess gone too soon!

More troubles for Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen

The last few months have not been easy for Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen. The darling couple officially divorced in October 2022 after months where their relationship was anything but smooth.

Now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and the Brazilian supermodel could lose millions of dollars. Indeed, less than a year after Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen appeared in a series of ads for FTX during the Super Bowl (February 2022), the former couple became one of the main shareholders of the company, which is now in bankruptcy.

Cover Omages

According to bankruptcy court documents filed earlier this week, Tom Brady owns 1.1 million shares of FTX common stock, while Gisele Bündchen owns 686,000.

When FTX, a centralized cryptocurrency marketplace founded in May 2019 by Sam Bankman-Fried, was at its peak, the privately held company was valued at about $32 billion (US). Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen could then dream of the millions the company would make for them.

But the two stars, like many investors, are now disillusioned by the collapse of their investments.

Whatever Brady and Bündchen paid for their holdings, they are almost certain to see their positions completely wiped out. (Court documents did not reveal what the investors paid for their shares or when they were acquired.)

Recall that when a company goes bankrupt, shareholders are usually the last to get their money back. U.S. bankruptcy laws stipulate that creditors – in FTX’s case, customers who had deposited money on the platform – must be paid back first.

Under these conditions, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are likely to see that money melt away like snow in the sun.

Last week, Sam Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to eight federal counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and campaign finance violations.

Federal prosecutors accuse the 30-year-old entrepreneur of stealing funds from FTX clients to cover excessive losses at his hedge fund, Alameda. They also claim he used the funds to finance a lavish lifestyle for himself and his employees.

Taylor Swift made a very special surprise appearance!

Taylor Swift allowed herself an appearance at the concert of The 1975 concert at London’s O2 Arena last Thursday, as she gave the crowd a treat – the first-ever live performance of Anti-Hero, from her latest album.

https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1613656245629591578

Swift also performed The City from The 1975 with a beautiful little Paco Rabanne chainmail dress at 3950 dollars, reminiscent of the disco parties of the ’75s.

The design of the dress dates back exactly to the 1960s, when stars like Dua Lipa, Sophie Turner and Laura Harrier wore the sequinned model.

To match her look, the 33-year-old pop singer wore towering $2495 heels designed by Christian Louboutin, a necklace and her usual red lipstick. She also had a braided bun that women wore in those years.

“Taylor wears a fearless outfit with folk hair while performing a song from Midnights. The #TheErasTour is about to get wild. Did Taylor Folklore make an appearance? She’s wearing a mirrored dress with her little Folklore buns!” one fan posted on Twitter.

Yes, all indications are that Taylor Swift will be wearing this ensemble when she kicks off her Eras Tour this March, if we understand her message delivered on Instagram correctly.

For the fan in question, spending that many millions on a VIP ticket was well worth it.

The nearly $3 million ticket was a special item that was auctioned off through the Saudi government’s entertainment arm. The winner sould have been able to meet Ronaldo and Messi in addition to having access to the locker room.

Note that the auction opened at $260,000, and quickly skyrocketed to $2.6 million.

An influencer seems to have thrown a live lobster from the top of Montmorency Falls

Jay Fortin, an influencer from Quebec City, has been receiving a ton of virulent comments since he allegedly threw a live lobster from the top of the Montmorency Falls.

In the video published by him, we see him heading to the supermarket to buy a live lobster, to go to a bridge overlooking the Montmorency Falls, and release the live lobster, as reported by TVA Nouvelles.

The said video is circulating excessively on the networks, it has generated more than 130,000 reactions, as well as 400 comments, many of them not very complimentary.

That said, in order to offer unique content to Internet users in order to thwart the algorithms, influencers are looking for every way to find different avenues to get engagement, “likes”, leading to possible contracts.

Note however that according to the “hashtags” of Fortin, the lobster in question would be a fake, but he refuses to confirm it to the media, declining calls from them for the moment, still according to TVA.

Did Usain Bolt lose 12M$ in a fraud?

Usain Bolt reportedly lost more than $12.7 million as a result of fraud via his account with a private equity firm in Jamaica, according to a statement from his lawyers on Wednesday.

Linton P. Gordon, one of Bolt’s lawyers, said his client’s account suddenly went from $12.8 million to $12,000. Evidently, a letter has been sent to the company to reimburse the greatest sprinter of all time.

https://twitter.com/nypostsports/status/1615885688863424512

“If this is accurate, and we hope it is not, then a serious act of fraud, theft or a combination of both has been committed against our client,” Bolt’s lawyers said in a letter.

If the mountain of millions is not returned within 10 days, civil and criminal proceedings will be initiated.

The company in question, Stocks & Securities Limited, offered no comment on the matter. In fact, on its website, it tells its clients “to direct all urgent matters to the Financial Services Commission of Jamaica”. It is this commission that is investigating the company.

This is certainly an alarming situation as many of the company’s customers could also lose millions, just like Usain Bolt.

Let’s hope that Bolt, who holds the world records in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4×100 meters, will get all his millions back.
