  • Pope Francis would have to learn to speak again after vocal cord condition

    Pope Francis would have to learn to speak again after vocal cord condition

    The hospital situation of Pope Francis continues to drag on. The pontiff has been hospitalized for five weeks now, with continuous improvements and relapses. The Church is keeping a close eye on his health, but the Argentine’s return is becoming increasingly difficult. Now, according to one of his close cardinals, Francis must learn to speak again.

    According to Victor Manuel Fernandez, this situation is due to having prolonged oxygen therapy for so long. The upper airways have dried out and the vocal cords have been affected. This is a problem that prevents Pope Francis from speaking at the moment.

    Pope Francis intends to go out on the balcony at the Angelus on Sunday

    The last time the Argentine pontiff’s voice was heard was two weeks ago, when a recorded message of thanks to his parishioners was broadcast. Nevertheless, his situation continues to improve as the days go by. The Holy See has already announced that the pope intends to look out this Sunday, March 23, from the window of the Gemelli Hospital at the time of the Angelus.

    On the other hand, just a week ago, they also released the first image of Francis since his hospitalization. The Holy See has reported that the Argentine continues “with small improvements” and is still being provided “pharmacological treatment, respiratory and active motor physiotherapy, prayer and a little work.”

    How long will it take Pope Francis to recover from his condition?

    If the problem in the vocal cords is caused by dryness of the upper respiratory tract, the recovery time is usually relatively quick. In several weeks, Pope Francis should be fully recovered from this setback and would be able to speak without much trouble.

  • Jennifer Lopez takes strong stance after watching Ben Affleck spend time with Jennifer Garner

    Jennifer Lopez takes strong stance after watching Ben Affleck spend time with Jennifer Garner

    Sometimes, the fairytale ending is a sham. For Jennifer Lopez, that much has been very true in her romantic life. That was accentuated following her divorce from Ben Affleck. What was once the perfect love story, turned into a nightmare. Ultimately, the two moved on, but they remain in each others’ lives in one way or another.

    Given their kids’ strong relationship and their large presence in Hollywood, it’s hard for the two to completely block each other out. But if recent reports are to be believed, Lopez is trying her best to do so. One reason she so desperately wants to move on? Affleck’s renewed bond with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The two have been spotted together frequently since the divorce, which has even caused some friction with Garner’s current boyfriend, John Miller.

    Jennifer Lopez is “ready” to date again after divorce

    Since Affleck has completely put Lopez in the rearview mirror, the singer and actress is ready to do the same. According to a source with Page Six, she’s preparing to begin dating again.

    “Jennifer is ready to put herself out there again and she hasn’t given up on finding love,” the insider shared. “Her friends have encouraged her to date and she’s definitely open to meeting someone new.” “Jennifer is considering dating somebody who isn’t in the public eye this time around but she’s not limiting herself to any particular type,” the insider added.

    It sounds like not only does Lopez want to find a new romance, but potentially one that’s outside the box. That may be the best move considering she hasn’t had a lot of success dating celebrities.

  • Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein Spotted Together Backstage With the Cast of Broadway's “Oh, Mary!”

    Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein Spotted Together Backstage With the Cast of Broadway's “Oh, Mary!”

    Pop star Jennifer Lopez and British actor Brett Goldstein were spotted together at an event following a Broadway show, and speculation was rife. Although it is not known for certain if it was a date, the pair were seen enjoying the company of the cast of the play “Oh, Mary!”, in New York.

    Sunday night was full of smiles and funny moments, with the 55-year-old actress looking elegant in a cream blazer and her hair partially up, as she posed for the cameras alongside other big stars such as Meryl Streep and Martin Short

    The 44-year-old opted for a darker look, staying to the side but still present in the photos.

    Are they a couple or not?

    Interestingly, JLo and Brett reportedly arrived at the event together, with no other companions or entourage, which has led many to think that there could be something more between them, although at the moment everything is still uncertain.

    What we do know is that they are both working together on a new project, the romantic comedy “Office Romance”.

    The pop diva and Goldstein have just begun filming this movie in New Jersey, marking an important milestone in their careers. This collaboration comes after the British actor expressed in his podcast that he was completely in love with Jennifer, and that it was she who chose him to star in this film

    “She’s an amazing star,” Goldstein said of his co-star, something that has certainly raised expectations for this romantic comedy.

    “I’m so excited to work with someone as talented as Brett,” JLo said in a recent interview, and the mutual admiration between the two is evident

    Goldstein himself did not hesitate to openly praise her in 2019, when he spoke about her role in “Hustlers”, a film where Jennifer plays a stripper.

    In his podcast, Brett highlighted how “sexy” JLo was in that movie and did not hesitate to say, “I love her!”

    For her part, Jennifer Lopez has had a somewhat difficult start to the year, and this project with Goldstein seems to be just what she needed to reboot. According to sources close to her, working with such a talented and attractive actor gives her a new lease of life

    “He’s an incredible actor, very talented, not only acting, but also writing scripts,” the source said, adding that Jennifer sees Brett as a younger version of her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, but “smarter and better looking.”

    Meanwhile, fans of both cannot contain their excitement at the news that they will finally see Jennifer and Brett together on screen

    Many users on Twitter and Reddit celebrated the fact that Goldstein, who has confessed to being a big fan of the “This Is Me… Now” singer, is working with her on this new project.

    “Finally, the duo we’ve all been waiting for!” wrote one of his most loyal followers on Twitter.

    This film comes at a key time for Jennifer, who recently split from Ben Affleck, but it doesn’t seem that her heart is completely available.

    As for Brett, his love life has also been a topic of conversation. Although he was in a relationship with comedian Beth Rylance until 2022, it seems that he is now completely focused on his career.

  • Taylor Swift gets made fun of by Bill Maher and Travis Kelce is the reason for it

    Taylor Swift gets made fun of by Bill Maher and Travis Kelce is the reason for it

    Given her global fame and how much weight her name carries, Taylor Swift is very used to famous people talking and gossiping about her. It comes with the territory of being so successful, but Swift has kept a clean record for her part, making it difficult for media personalities to find faults and exploit them for views.

    There is one thing that perhaps stands out about Swift, although it’s an aspect of her life that isn’t fully fleshed out. Swift has made it a theme in her music to talk about past boyfriends and relationships, which has made some believe she dates around a lot. In reality, she hasn’t had that many partners in recent times, and was dating Joe Alwyn for around seven years before Travis Kelce. But that doesn’t stop talking heads from making jokes.

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark rumors in resurfaced club video

    Bill Maher takes dig at Taylor Swift’s dating history

    That’s what Bill Maher did on his show over the weekend, monologuing that President Donald Trump took “three weeks to break up with Ukraine and Mexico, and Canada“, but Swift has been able to date Kelce for over a year.

    It’s a harmless joke, but one that may not actually be based on truths. It’s possible Swift uses relationships from way back for a lot of her songs. She may even draw inspiration from relationships that weren’t hers. After all, whatever she’s doing is working, because her albums continue to sell like hotcakes.

    Kelce, meanwhile, is still getting used to the newfound media attention. He isn’t totally new to it, as he’s been one of the best players in the NFL for over a decade, and his podcast made him an Internet sensation even before Swift came into his life. But he likely wouldn’t have gotten a call-out from Maher were it not for Swift.

  • A rare planetary alignment will occur this week in the Solar System. What effect will it have on Earth?

    A rare planetary alignment will occur this week in the Solar System. What effect will it have on Earth?

    On the afternoon of February 28, 2025, the other seven planets in the solar system will appear in the night sky at the same time, with Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars lined up in a neat row: a magnificent sight known as a great planetary alignment.

    Remember that Pluto ceased to be classified as a planet in 2006 and was reclassified as a “dwarf planet” belonging to the Kuiper Belt.

    Prince Harry’s awkward moment at the Invictus Games goes viral

    It is not uncommon for some planets to be on the same side of the Sun at the same time, but it is less common for most or even all of the planets to align in this way. It should be noted that an alignment is not a planetary row one after the other, but to earthly eyes they seem to be arranged along an imaginary line.

    Some of the planets have slightly inclined orbits above or below the Solar plane, but they are all more or less at the same level, like the grooves on a disc, thanks to the way stars like our Sun form.

    For the astronomical scientific community, four planets involved constitutes an alignment; five or six planets is known as a great alignment, and total alignments are the rarest of all.

    What effects will it have on planet Earth?

    Contrary to what is established in Hollywood apocalyptic movies, there will be no climatic, geological or any other effect that could affect our nature.

    All that is needed is clear skies to appreciate this massive departure of planets in the same region of the universe.

    How to watch the planetary alignment

    This astronomical phenomenon will be best appreciated in the Northern Hemisphere and there are applications that can be accessed to obtain the location of the sky.

    It has a website tool that shows the positions of all the planets.

    It is a free mobile app that uses your phone’s hardware to determine where you are and shows you the real-time positions of celestial objects on a sky map.

    To appreciate the planetary alignment with your own eyes, it is advisable to leave the city and go to areas with little or no artificial lighting and where weather conditions do not block the sky. Binoculars or a telescope will be required to see the planets in all their splendour

  • Pope Francis spends a quiet night, but is not out of danger

    Pope Francis spends a quiet night, but is not out of danger

    Pope Francis spent a quiet night from Saturday to Sunday and was able to rest. This is the information provided by the Holy See regarding the health of the pontiff, who has been hospitalized since February 14 at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The statement, however, does not specify that the pope is no longer in critical condition.

    On Saturday, Pope Francis suffered a “long-standing asthmatic respiratory crisis”. Because of this, doctors had to apply “high-flow oxygen”. In addition, blood tests showed that the pontiff suffers from thrombocytopenia. “He has required the administration of blood transfusions,” they explained in the text.

    The brief statement from the Holy See.

    “The Pope is not out of danger”

    The prognosis for the 88-year-old pontiff is reserved and his condition, according to the Holy See, remains critical despite the fact that he had a quiet night. “The pope is not out of danger,” they said. The uncertainty about his health is clear and the evolution of his physical condition is the focus of international news

    The world awaits the improvement of Pope Francis

    The displays of support for Pope Francis in these delicate moments of health have been repeated all over the world. It is common to see images of candles with his image. In Argentina, his country, the Obelisk of Buenos Aires has been illuminated with his face and the following message: “Francisco, the city prays for you”.

    The pontiff, according to Vatican News, has asked the doctors who are treating him to hide nothing about his state of health. Pope Francis’ schedule has been totally altered by his hospitalisation. However, in the first few days of his stay in hospital, the pontiff carried out some business from the Gemelli Hospital in Rome.

    Pope Francis’ message

    The Vatican has released the message that Pope Francis was scheduled to deliver today at the Angelus prayer on Sunday, February 23: “I am sincerely grateful to the doctors and healthcare staff of this hospital for the attention they are showing me and for the dedication with which they carry out their service among the sick. In these days I have received many messages of affection and I was particularly impressed by the letters and drawings from the children. Thank you for this closeness and for the prayers of comfort that I have received from all over the world! I commend everyone to the intercession of Mary and ask you to pray for me.”

  • Diddy gets dealt a tough loss as he's now without key piece of defense and fans know why

    Diddy gets dealt a tough loss as he's now without key piece of defense and fans know why

    As the days pass by, Diddy‘s federal criminal trial gets closer and closer. Sean Combs, the disgraced music mogul, is charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. This doesn’t account for the countless lawsuits accusing him of rape and sexual assault.

    Diddy needs a miracle in order to see a reduced sentence. Any hopes of going free immediately are practically zero. In order to get a “win” of sorts, Combs has put together an all-star team of lawyers. But his team lost a member on Friday, as Anthony Ricco stepped down without explanation.

    Diddy spanks Jay-Z during a concert in a video that resurfaces amid serious allegations against both of them

    Fans could only think of one reason the defense attorney would choose to withdraw from his role: he was going to be put in a position to lie.

    The only other reason, according to fans, would be the lawyer not getting paid for his work due to Diddy’s rising legal costs. Both ideas make sense, but Combs is now down a top laywer in a crucial legal battle.

    There doesn’t appear to be much of a way out for Diddy, whether Ricco would have stayed on or not, but his odds can’t have improved after this decision.

    Who is Anthony Ricco, Diddy’s defense attorney that resigned?

    Ricco is one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the United States. He has served as learned counsel on “approximately 45 federal death penalty cases across the country” over the past 19 years.

    Ricco has earned several awards and recognitions throughout his career, after studying at Adelphi University and Northeastern University School of Law.

  • Justin Bieber finds a new hobby to help him relax and take mind off personal problems

    Justin Bieber finds a new hobby to help him relax and take mind off personal problems

    Having a child is a beautiful yet stressful time for any human being, but Justin Bieber appears to really be going through an emotional rollercoaster as of late. Justin and Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues, back in August. Although becoming parents should have strengthened their bond, reports haven’t been particularly kind about their marriage.

    Amplifying that matter has been Bieber’s appearance in recent public outings. Bieber has looked disheveled while wearing eccentric and sometimes ridiculous outfits. All of it has led to questions about the relationship between Justin and Hailey, but as it stands, the two are married and raising their child together. Raising a child alone can cause massive shifts in mood, so that could be the reason behind Justin’s recent behavior.

    Justin Bieber finds solace in spa days by himself

    While he deals with his newfound fatherhood, Bieber has found a new way to center himself and escape reality: solo spa dates. According to Page Six, Bieber has been to five different spas around the country within the last three weeks.

    That timeline coincides with the advent of reports about his “rocky marriage” with Hailey. It would not be a surprise if all of the rumors, to go along with constant paparazzi harassment, has taken a heavy toll on his mental health.

    Combining that with first-time parenthood is a recipe for disaster, at least mentally. Spa days can certainly help a bit in that regard.

    Pisces

    Be careful not to idealize too much in love, as you are one of the most intense signs of the zodiac. You tend to become attached to people who do not always reciprocate your devotion and affection. You could face significant disappointment or deception. Even knowing this, you will continue with an open heart.

  • Former Disney star Christy Carlson Romano almost lost an eye after accidental shooting with her husband

    Former Disney star Christy Carlson Romano almost lost an eye after accidental shooting with her husband

    Former Disney star Christy Carlson Romano almost lost an eye while shooting for her husband Brendan Rooney’s birthday, The Post reported.

    The 40-year-old actress shared a video on Instagram on Saturday showing the injuries to her face, including a large gash under her right eye, after another part “hit her in five places”

    Olivia Dunne stuns with flawless gymnastics routine compilation that leaves fans speechlessTikTok

    In his post, Romano explained that the outing was intended to be a “gift” for Rooney’s birthday

    “Then I got shot in the eye. It was not fun,” the “Even Stevens” star said with a shaky sigh at the beginning of the clip.

    “I got shot here. It’s still in there,” he continued, pointing to a bullet hole under his eye, which was swollen with blood inside the eyeball.

    “There’s a fragment here,” Romano said, tapping the side of his face near his eye. “Here’s a fragment,” Christy added, pointing to a mark on his forehead.

    Romano lifted her hair to show another wound on her forehead and said: “We cleaned it up, and I’m so grateful to all the first responders. They are the most amazing superheroes who will take care of us in our most desperate moments.”

    Romano expressed his gratitude for the care he received at St. David’s South Austin Medical Center in Austin, Texas.

    “This was something really bad tonight,” he said. “Everything is clearing up. But I must say I was shot in the face. And live to tell the tale. Be thankful every day.”

    The terrifying moment in Christy Carlson Romano’s life

    In the title of his post, Romano went into more detail about the heartbreaking incident on Friday.

    “Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and I took him clay pigeon shooting as a present,” she wrote.

    “There was another group with us and they shot unsafely in the wrong direction and shot me in the face,” he explained.

    The “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” star said her husband “immediately sprang into action, assessed me and rushed me to the hospital. I was hit in five places, one was less than an inch from hitting me directly in the right eye.”

    “Unfortunately, a fragment lodged behind my eye and it is too risky to surgically remove at this time. Doctors will continue to monitor me,” added Romano, who noted that he can “see normally at the moment.”

    “With everything that happened, all I can think about is how grateful I am to be alive. I love my daughters, my husband, my family and my friends so much.

    “I saw my life flash before my eyes and I tell you, hug the people around you whenever you can. Life can change in an instant.”

    Rooney, who is a screenwriter and director, shared a tribute to his wife in the comments section of his Instagram post.

    “You are the bravest, toughest, most stoic, toughest woman I have ever met,” Rooney said. “I’m so grateful that you’re alive. I’m so grateful that you’re the mother of our children. I wouldn’t know what to do without you.”

    “I love you more than life itself,” she added, with a praying hands emoji.

    Rooney also shared the video of his wife on his Instagram story, writing: “Kiss your loved ones” and adding a red heart emoji.

    Clay pigeon shooting is an outdoor sport in which inverted circular discs made of limestone and pitch are used as targets and propelled into the air by machines.

    The shooters use shotguns and each shot projects hundreds of small lead balls to hit the clay pigeons

    In general, sport is not considered dangerous as long as safety measures are followed.
