BMW unveils a car… that changes color!

The BMW i Vision Dee was unveiled last Wednesday in Las Vegas during the annual electronics event, where actor Arnold Schwarzenegger made an appearance, and this car is able to change color completely (unlike the first version).

Yes, yes!

So, the body of this prototype displays a full range of colors, which manifest themselves uniformly, in stripes and even in checkerboards.

Don’t go running off to a BMW dealership in fear because the BMW i Vision Dee is only a concept at this point. It should serve as inspiration for the future, but it’s still not available for purchase.

On the other hand, the technology that will project speed and direction on the width of the windshield will be on the market from 2025.

BMW also talked about the possibility of turning the windshield into a giant screen, which would mix real life with virtual life.

By the way, the word Dee in the name of this concept stands for”Digital emotional experience”.

Isn’t this another proof of the bewildering technological development that increases its pace more and more?

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!

Will Jack Nicholson die alone and reclusive?

Will Jack Nicholson die alone and in total reclusion?

That’s what a long-time friend of the actor fears, reports Page Six.

https://twitter.com/PageSix/status/1613526556936179712

The legendary 85-year-old actor has not been seen in public for several months, and is said to be living in seclusion in his gigantic mansion in Beverly Hills, formerly owned by Marlon Brando.

Nicholson, who was regularly seen attending basketball games in Los Angeles, has not been seen there since October 2021, when he attended a Lakers game.

The situation is so serious according to several sources that Nicholson “didn’t want to face reality anymore” which would suggest the beginning of dementia.

According to Radar Online, those close to Jack “just wish he would get out of the house and tell them how […] or at least reassure people that he’s okay.”

Still, the same source reportedly said that the actor would be in touch with a few relatives including his son Ray, but that “his socializing days are long gone!”

WennCover

The concerns of his loved ones began in 2021 when one of them claimed at the time that “physically he (Jack) was fine […] but his spirit was gone!”.

Jack Nicholson is considered the best actor in history by many critics and moviegoers.

200M for Dr. Dre’s catalog

Dr. Dre doesn’t need an introduction anymore, but more importantly, he doesn’t need money, because his pockets are so deep.

However, regardless of his bank account, the legendary Doctor has sold his music catalog for over $200 million, according to Variety!

Dre ‘s catalog includestwo solo albums, his share of N.W.A. artists’ royalties , his producer’s royalties and the writer’s share of his song catalog.

The offer in question reportedly does not include ownership rights to the Doctor ‘s Aftermath label (and Interscope Records).

Dre is valued at $820 million, and he is close to signing a deal with Shamrock Holdings and Universal Music Group.

According to the report, one of the founders of the legendary band N.W.A. will receive $10 million a year until the $200 million is paid in full!

Just like that, this monstrous piece of work comes a few months after Dre agreed to award $100 million to Nicole Young, his ex-wife, for the settlement of assets.

Recall that last week, Dre stopped Marjorie Taylor Greene from using his music through social networks through his lawyer Peter Paterno.

Eminem turned down $9M for a concert (according to 50 Cent)

According to information delivered by 50 Cent via Real 92.3’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood , Eminem turned down a $9 million offer to perform at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

By the way, the show offer in question included the Eminem-50 Cent duo, while eight million would have gone to Slim Shady and the other million to Fifty.

50 Cent would have been a million dollars richer if his longtime bandmate had accepted the generous offer.

The reason the World Cup organization approached the two rappers was because of the huge success during their monster performance at Super Bowl 2022 with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.

WithEm’s rejection, the World Cup turned to the Black Eyed Peas, among others, to complete its panel of artists who performed in Qatar.

It is important to note that 50 Cent does not know exactly why Eminem refused this kind of adventure, but we must admit that the rapper from Detroit does not often go out to perform.

We can also imagine that it was a political decision on the part of Marshall Matters.

Let’s also take the opportunity to mention that 50 Cent and Eminem are developing a series that is the sequel to 8 Mile, the movie that was partly inspired by the life of Eminem.

Instagram users are actually criticizing Ellen DeGeneres for the unnecessary danger she’s taking for a simple video she posted of an out-of-control river near her home!

“What are you doing here? Are you a meteorologist? Get to higher ground!” one of her Instagram followers said to her, among other things.

In the video posted by the star, Ellen finds herself dangerously close to a flash flood as she explains that she doesn’t have to evacuate because her home is on higher ground and authorities have asked her to stay safe inside her property.

The star also says to take care of Mother Nature, as she gets out of control quickly…
