Man rescued from shark-filled waters!

Dylan Gartenmayer, a 22-year-old diver and spearfisherman, was on a boat with two friends when he decided to make one last dive near West Sambo Reef.

Unfortunately, he was swept away by the Gulf Stream, finding himself five miles from the Florida Keys, only to be unexpectedly rescued by his grandfather, NBC reports.

As he watched the sun set, he suddenly heard an engine approaching to pull him out of the shark-infested waters.

The young man is a deep snorkeling fanatic, and loves to dive more than “30 meters in one breath”, but this time he was swept much further away by the current.

The two friends became concerned because Gartenmayer did not come to the surface, so they immediately thought that the diver had run out of oxygen.

In short, his two friends immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard as well as his family in order to start the search quickly, since the sun was giving way to darkness.

Remember that it was Grandpa’s boat (with his family) that spotted Dylan and was able to rescue him and bring him back on board… away from the hungry sharks.

Drake fan falls from a balcony during a concert!

During Drake’ s concert at the Apollo, TMZ captured a frightening scene when a fan of the rapper fell from a 2nd floor balcony into the crowd below, which was on the first level floor.

The individual in question fell after 90 minutes of Drake‘s performance kicking off, landing hard on the fans who were elated by a Drake on fire.

From another video, we see the mezzanine and from it, we see a man leaning down, immediately falling down since he was too close to the ledge.

It is a member of the sound team who hastened to indicate to him to put his concert on pause.

As a result, Drake indicated to the audience, “I just need to make sure someone is okay!”

TMZ reported that the person who fell was a 26-year-old intoxicated man, who did not cooperate with authorities, but was immediately transported to a Harlem hospital… although he did not suffer any major injuries.

In the end, the concert continued for 15 minutes following this slightly scary chapter.

Posted by La Poche Bleue on Wednesday, January 11, 2023

The 35-year-old didn’t bury his head in the sand about it, and he gave details about why he decided to enter the player assistance program offered by the NHL and the Players’ Association.

It goes back to October 2021, when Marc Bergevin and the Montreal Canadiens announced this news to the people, which resonated loudly across the province.

At the time, the exact reason was not known, but it was finally announced months later.

Prior to his entry into the program, Price mentioned that every Sunday after a night of drinking he would get up and tell himself he would never do it again, but he always did.

Price opted for a center, as he felt it was best for him to take a step back and get away from it all to put his brain on pause.

Hearing the stories of others there who were going through the same thing as him helped him greatly, making him take responsibility for changing his life.

Carey Price’s fear, like many proud athletes, was to face the judgment of others, the public, his teammates and Quebec. But he took the plunge and realized that people are less judgmental than you might think.

Thank you, Carey, for this authenticity, it will do everyone good!

Billie Eilish stalked by a seemingly very disturbing man

A man “in love” with music star Billie Eilish broke into her family home on several occasions.

This very distressing situation for the star and her family began in December when the 39-year-old man would have shown up at the residence of Billie Eilish’s parents, where the singer is very often, claiming to be “in love” and asking to meet her.

The police would have been called no less than five times in connection with this man, who was seen in particular wanting to climb the fence of the residence!

This time it was too much for the young singer!

Eilish, who is tired of living in fear and anxiety, has filed an injunction against this obviously disturbed man. The star also specifies in her request to the judge that she does not dare to see her family since these incidents began, and that she fears for their safety.

This situation must bring back bad memories to the singer since this is at least the second such request she has made.

In 2020, a man threatened the star and tried to break into her residence.

He was banned from approaching her by a judge for a period of three years.

Carey Price contacted a Cree woman fighting brain cancer

Carey Price is a great human being, and once again, he demonstrated this great quality by taking several minutes to chat with a Cree woman suffering from brain cancer.

The number 31 contacted the woman via video conference through Jonathan Bertrand, a physical education teacher from Waskaganish, where the woman in question, Shirley Wischee Moar, works as a teacher.

The discussion between Carey and Shirley lasted about 10 minutes as the two new friends talked about hockey and the diagnosis she received last January.

She also told Carey about her strong desire to attend a hockey game again… Carey sent her positive vibes, big encouragement, and strongly encouraged her not to give up on the fight ahead.

Knowing this one, he must be planning an all-expenses paid trip to the Bell Centre for Shirley as soon as she is feeling better.

Ms. Moar was on her way to the Montreal Neurological Hospital Institute for a simple appointment, which turned into horrible news. She then went under the knife three times, heading for radiation and chemotherapy.

Let’s send Shirley a ton of positive vibes!

A remake of Ghost with… Channing Tatum?

Channing Tatum‘s company, Free Association, is considering a remake of the film Ghost, one of the most memorable roles in the career of the late Patrick Swayze.

Free Association, formerly 33&Out, currently owns the rights to the film Ghost, the romantic story of the ’90s in which Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg starred.

Tatum has made it clear, via The Hollywood Reporter, that they are currently trying to make a modern remake of Ghost, with him playing the role that Swayze played. He and his team are also reportedly reworking some of the problematic stereotypes from the original film.

In the original story, Sam (Swayze) is a bank executive who is in love with Molly (Moore), a sculptor, when one night he is assaulted and shot. Sam returns as a ghost and manages to communicate with Molly through a psychic to investigate her murder.

If the whole thing materializes, the film could break a few box office records… or turn out to be a total flop.

What is the future of Tom Brady?

The question NFL fans are asking today: What is the future of Tom Brady? What are the most likely scenarios for the greatest quarterback in history?

Despite a good season at age 45, his future in the NFL remains uncertain.

Let’s just say the 31-14 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night in the playoffs, where Brady completed 35 of his 66 passes for two touchdowns and a costly interception in the end zone, has him thinking about it.

Add to that the fact that his contract will expire in a few weeks, and several options will open up before him: a return for a 24th season, joining “Fox Sports” as an analyst, or taking a quiet retirement.

His options in the NFL, besides the Buccaneers, with whom he is not expected to return, are: a return with the Patriots, the Dolphins and the Raiders.

The Raiders could be a logical destination because of Josh McDaniels, the Vegas head coach, who is the former offensive coordinator of the Pats. He and Tom Brady have always had a great relationship.

However, one should not put the Pats aside as the respect between Bill Belichick and Brady is still very high, they have won six championships together.

In short, this saga is just beginning!

Alec Baldwin charged with involuntary manslaughter!

More than a year after the tragic accident that claimed the life of DP Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust on October 21, 2021, the prosecutor in charge of the case in the state of New Mexico has made his decision and accuses the actor Alec Baldwin of involuntary manslaughter.

The incident occurred while the actor was rehearsing a scene with a gun during the filming of Rust on the site of Bonanza Creek Ranch located in New Mexico.

Since the incident, Baldwin claimed that he was not responsible for the director’s death. Instead, he accused Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the person in charge of the weapons and ammunition on the set at the time, of being solely responsible for the tragedy.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is also accused of manslaughter in the same case. David Halls, Rust’s assistant director, has decided to plead guilty to negligent use of a deadly weapon.

Recall that in October, Halyna Hutchins’ husband reached a settlement in his wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin and the Rust producers. At the same time, Baldwin announced the resumption of filming of Rust for January 2023.

For the time being, Alec Baldwin remains free pending trial.
