Will Smith seems to be feeling better

According to Entertainment Tonight, Will Smith is said to be in good spirits following the apology video he delivered to Chris Rock and his audience back in July.

Smith is said to be suddenly feeling more confident, much more positive and quite a bit less depressed, according to the same source.

The 53-year-old actor is aware that the road to forgiveness is still long, though, but he remains convinced that time will do its work and that Rock will forgive him.

For him, this path is essential to set an example for his children and show that violence is not a solution.

“I think Kim has an unfair advantage.”

The former Secretary of State sat down with the reality TV star and law student for her new documentary series Gutsy with her daughter, Chelsea.

The eight episodes ofHillary and Chelsea Clinton’s documentary series Gutsy, which will air on Apple TV+ on Sept. 9, are full of stunning scenes celebrating brave and bold women, People reports.

Among other things, Hillary will be seen canoeing with a reformed white supremacist, Chelsea will try (unsuccessfully) to learn to surf, and the two will go painting a canvas with Megan Thee Stallion by her pool.

But, according to the show’s hosts and executive producers, the bravest was definitely the former secretary of state (who was an associate attorney at a law firm before becoming first lady), who took on law student Kim Kardashian in a knowledge quiz.

“I think Kim has an unfair advantage,” Hillary Clinton quipped.

After a series of questions about the use of deadly force, the difference between extortion and robbery, and when a self-defense claim is allowed, Kim soundly defeated Hillary, 11-4.

Will you be watching Gutsy on September 9?

Nicole Kidman targeted by critics following a photo shoot for Perfect magazine

The actress appears more fit than ever on the cover.

Nicole Kidman is not at her first rodeo with the comments and criticisms of Internet users, and she recently experienced a new wave of reactions on the Web.

The reason this time is because she appears on the cover of Perfect magazine with an impressive musculature.

The 55-year-old actress looks very fit and especially good in her skin on this photo. It’s hard to know if Kidman’s new figure is due to a movie project or simply because the actress changed her workout routine, but either way, she looks radiant.

Many Internet users were surprised by this photo and we wonder why.

Is it because of the age of the actress?

This is a question to ask, because younger public figures have posed like this before without attracting so many comments.

In fact, Kidman recently faced another wave of criticism for a photo showing her in a miniskirt and crop top for Vanity Fair magazine. Many thought that the actress was too sexualized, while her outfit is not particularly sexier than what we have seen on other actresses.

The relationship between Hollywood and women who age in the public eye is far from simple. What if we let actresses live their lives as they wish without criticizing them for their clothing choices or anything else?

Vanessa Bryant receives $16 million in Kobe helicopter crash lawsuit

Photos have invaded their private lives.

Vanessa Bryant and her co-plaintiff, Chris Chester, were awarded $31 million together by a Los Angeles jury, People reported.

The final verdict was handed down late Wednesday afternoon. The jury found that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the Fire Department (LAFD) shared photos of the bodies of Bryant and Chester’s loved ones and in doing so invaded their privacy and caused emotional distress.

The jury ordered LASD to pay Vanessa $10 million and Chris a total of $9 million. While the LAFD is ordered to pay the pair $6 million each.

The decision coincidentally came on National Kobe Bryant Day , aka Mamba Day, which is a day to honor the late Los Angeles Lakers legend.

The emotional trial ended just hours after the Los Angeles County legal team made its closing arguments.

Attorneys for Vanessa and Chris did not speak outside of court. After the verdict, Mira Hashmall, a partner at the Miller Barondess law firm and the county’s lead outside counsel, thanked the jury for their hard work.

“While we disagree with the jury’s findings of liability for the county, we believe the monetary award shows that the jurors did not believe the evidence supported the plaintiffs’ claims of $75 million for emotional distress,” Hashmall said in a statement provided to People.

007: Idris Elba is tired to hear about it!

Cover Images

For several years now, the name of actor Idris Elba has been linked to that of James Bond , as many people want him to become Daniel Craig‘s successor.

However, the 49-year-old actor is tired of being asked this question in every interview he has to give.

He simply has no more answers to provide to these redundant questions.

“I don’t have any more answers. I just tell people: don’t ask me that. Because a lot of times it’s lazy journalism. And people try to use it as click bait (…) Every once in a while I tease them (…) But most of the time, I tend not to talk about it,” he said on the podcast Jemele Hill is Unbothered.

Let’s hope Idris Elba doesn’t get too mad at us for covering up his answer!

Remember that several other actors are still in the running to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond in the saga 007, including Tom Hardy, James Norton, Luke Evans, Richard Madden and Jacob Elordi.

Historic dinosaur tracks in Texas!

At Dinosaur Valley State Park, dinosaur footprints were discovered that had been underwater for about 113 million years!

It is partly due to the water and the sediment that the “footsteps” have remained in an almost “fresh” state.

The trail is very long, making it the longest in human history!

According to researchers at this park, open since 1972 and preserved for dinosaur history, the tracks belonged to a 60-foot, 44-ton dinosaur called the Sauroposeidon.

https://twitter.com/WIRED/status/1562101828631887872?s=20&t=mx50oCKPMqn0YvCRnewnQQ

A very impressive discovery indeed frome this potential ancientSauroposeidon, which looked like this!
