Superman: Henry Cavill got fired!

After announcing his return as Superman last October, Henry Cavill was shocked to learn in a meeting with DC executives that he was no longer part of future plans!

The actor actually seemed surprised and saddened by his dismissal in his Instagram post announcing the news.

“I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it’s sad news […] everyone. After all, I won’t be coming back as Superman,” the star said.

 

Indeed, as we previously told you, major changes are underway with the arrival of DC Studios’ new leadership last October. They’ve already passed the axe in Wonder Woman 3 and the future of Black Adam and Aquaman is questionable.

“My turn to wear the cape has come and gone […] it’s been a fun ride with all of you, onward and upward.”

This is still a blow for Henry Cavill, since he announced in October his exit from the series The Witcher on Netflix, him being replaced by Liam Hemsworth from the fourth season.

Neymar is completely destroyed, according to multiple sources

Friday in the early afternoon, Croatia defeated Brazil, the team of the magician Neymar, in the penalty shootout to go to the semi-finals.

Let’s remember that Brazil was the favorite team to win the big honors of this World Cup 2022 in Qatar, but this nation was surprised by the warriors of Croatia.

After this emotional game, Neymar fell in tears, without words, certainly destroyed by one of the most difficult defeats of his career.

King Neymar, who is presented as the heir of Pele or Ronaldo, once again missed the quarterfinal match, which further distances his dream of becoming the best player in the world.

Brazil will still have to wait before adding his 6th world star and the marketing icon is being varloped on the networks because of a career punctuated by disillusionment.

Neymar may have joined Pele in goals with a Brazil jersey on his back (77 goals), but in the all-important box of number of championships, Pele leads 3-0.

Neymar’s tears must burn like lava, no doubt about it!

You won’t believe this: 4 horses are saved from freezing water by a community!

Four Montana horses (from the community of Kalispell) that were in a frozen pond were rescued by the community, according to an NBC report.

The owner of the horses was able to enlist the help of firefighters, game wardens, horse trainers and neighbors to save the lives of the horses, which were jumping into the cold water of the pond.

Posted by South Kalispell Fire Department on Tuesday, December 6, 2022

With animals this massive, it takes an entire village to pull off a successful rescue.

That event happened on Dec. 5, when the fire department received a call to save four restless young horses, which had fallen into a pond while playing near it.

“Thanks to the cooperative efforts of firefighters, FCSO animal control officers, Rebecca Farm staff and many neighbors, the four horses were able to be pulled from the pond and transported for veterinary care!” the fire department said on Facebook.

After failed attempts to get the horses out by digging a bank, rescuers finally harnessed each of the horses, which worked perfectly.

Although all four horses spent more than three hours in the cold water, they suffered no serious injuries and are in good health, the vet said.

Meghan Markle says paparazzi paid her neighbors to film her

Meghan Markle was so “pursued” by the paparazzi that they reportedly even paid her neighbors to point a camera at the garden of her Toronto home while she was living in Canada.

The intense photographers would have even paid for the installation of cameras in order to have access to even more exclusive images.

It was through the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan that Markle opened up about the paparazzi paying the price to record what was happening in her backyard.

Unsurprisingly, this paparazzi stalking had a ripple effect on her life, even as Prince Harry tried to do everything he could to minimize the press about his girlfriend.

“Suddenly, it was like everything in my life became much more insulated. All the curtains were drawn and the blinds were drawn. It was scary,” she confides in the Netflix documentary.

“My house was just surrounded. Just men sitting in their cars the whole time, waiting for me to do something. My face was everywhere, my life was everywhere. The tabloids had taken over everything,” she added.

Add to that, around the same time, she would have received death threats!

So Meghan Markle really couldn’t stay on Canadian soil.
