Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex or better known as Rachel Zane from Suits, is just a Los Angeles native who has been struck with a wicked streak of good luck! Not only did she become famous through small television and film roles, she caught the fancy of Prince Harry and the rest is history. 

Maybe she reminds Harry of his mother, Princess Diana? Or maybe it is her outrageous beauty and feminist beliefs? Whatever it may be she joined the royal family in 2018, birthed a royal child and is reportedly largely responsible for her and Prince Harry’s decision to step back as senior members of the royal family.

Why would they step back from the royal family? Apparently there are multiple reasons, none of which have been confirmed but a big speculation is that she has been faced with racism while being in the royal family and she is fed up with it! 

We will probably never find out the truth or reasoning behind the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepping down but here are a few truths about Meghan Markle that do not discredit her but question why she ever decided to join the Royal family in the first place, when it seems like she never really wanted it from the start.

It’s no secret that politics have become fairly popular discussion material in recent years. In fact, it’s become the most common thing people discuss, read about, and worry about. With the 2020 elections underway, our society has seen a massive shift in the way people see candidacy. 

Right now, it’s safe to say we know all of the candidates who are trying their hand at office for 2020. The runners’ names are pretty much set in stone, and we’re already at the point where people who are lagging behind are trying to drop out of the game. Most of us already know who we are going to vote for, too. 

Yep, it’s safe to say that most of us are fairly certain about next year’s election. But, what about 2024? Even though it’s over four years in the future, rumors are still starting to swirl regarding the potential candidacy of bigger names in politics. 

The past couple of years have proven to many of us that there is really no telling who will choose to run. If someone would have told people that reality TV star Donald Trump would have won the presidency 10 years ago, no one would have believed him. That said, Trump changed the way politics are being seen. 

Hollywood is definitely getting more political. That’s why one of the more bizarre rumors hitting the net deals with Kanye West, and a potential presidential bid in 2024. Let’s see why people are buzzing about this potential bombshell, shall we?

Ah, the Oscars. For a select few, there is a reason to see 10 movies in a row and channel your inner film critic by providing classy commentary about the plot and pacing. For the rest of us, they’re an excuse to sit on the couch with snacks and judge Rachel Weisz’s outfit. Seriously, what was she thinking this year? 

The 92nd Academy Awards will be held on February 9, 2020 – the earliest it’s ever been – and the competition is strong. 2019 was an outstanding year in entertainment – with no shortage of superheroes and films that make us laugh, cry and audibly gasp in the theater, often all at once (looking at you, Joker). Oscar nominees will be announced in January, but we’re ready to share our top predictions now!

What do you get when you put two A-listers behind the wheel of an epic sports drama? A lot of critical acclaim, Oscar buzz, and mixed accounts of what ACTUALLY happened. Ford v. Ferrari has been a hit since its November release, with audiences praising the action sequences and stellar acting by leads Matt Damon and Christian Bale. While most films based on a true story tend to blur the lines between fact and fiction – Ford v. Ferrari tends to stick pretty closely to real-life events. What really happened, may you ask? 

As the title suggests, the film chronicles the story of Ford Motor Company as they seek revenge on Ferrari after a business deal gone wrong.  It all began in 1963 – when Ford CEO Henry Ford II saw his chance to increase revenue and sell sports cars to the Baby Boomer generation. Yes, you read that correctly. We may say “OK boomer” today, but the 60’s saw a change in purchasing habits that meant boomers had plenty of disposable income to spend on houses, nice clothes, and luxury cars. That’s where Ferrari came in. 

Henry Ford II, the eldest son of Edsel Ford and eldest grandson of Henry Ford, was convinced by top executives that the way out of their sales slide was a sleek sports car. Ford didn’t have any available at the time, and generated the idea of purchasing Ferrari – which was then a cash-strapped company known primarily for race cars. Enzo Ferrari was initially pleased with their deal – in which Ford would pay $10 million for the company and all assets.

However, the former race car driver was unwilling to budge on a clause in the contract that granted Ford full control over the Ferrari motorsports program. Insults were hurled – with Ferrari calling Ford an “ugly” company and apparently telling Henry II that he could not compare to his grandfather – before Ferrari walked away from the deal and sold a majority stake in Ferrari to Fiat. As you can imagine, Henry II was not pleased.  

Hurt and humiliated, Henry Ford II orders his racing division to build a car to defeat Ferrari at 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world. He enlists the help of automobile designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) and racer Ken Miles (Bale) to design and drive a supercar beyond Ferrari’s wildest dreams, and the rest was history.

To avoid potential spoilers, we won’t delve too deep into what happened next. You’ll need to see the movie for that! But just know that Henry Ford II’s pride was avenged, and it’s safe to say that both Ford and Ferrari are doing pretty well these days. One tidbit that the film left out, however, is the mystery surrounding the tragic death of Bale’s character. While Ken Miles supposedly died in a violent car crash in 1966, there are a deal of conspiracy theories surrounding his passing. Many believe that the death was due to a mechanical failure, or maybe even him faking his own death. Start Googling now, friends…

If you say you’ve never seen an episode of Bravo’s smash Real Housewives series, you’re lying. Since the reality series premiered over a decade ago, it’s transformed from a guilty pleasure for moms to a pop culture phenomenon – with seven individual series featuring women from Orange County, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New Jersey, New York, Dallas and Potomac. In 2019, millions still tune in to get a glimpse of the life of an affluent housewife – from table flips to thousand-dollar spa treatments.

What has led to the success of the Real Housewives franchise? Undoubtedly it’s the designer purses and yacht parties, plus the rise of social media and viral memes – like the one of a certain blonde housewife yelling and pointing at a white cat – but it’s also the spirited women that lead the show. Between all their blowout fights and family drama, they’re all queens who have turned their everyday lives into a spectacle that viewers can’t look away from. Who is the reigning queen of the Real Housewives franchise? Read on for our top 5!

Who hasn’t struggled with weight at some point?  Unlike choosing to abstain from alcohol or drugs, humans must eat food to survive!  But for those who are “emotional eaters”, it is difficult to make smart choices when it comes to eating a healthy diet. When we eat a treat, our brain releases dopamine, which is a feel-good chemical. We later remember how warm and fuzzy we felt while eating a Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookie and crave the same feeling. But having an awareness of this process, delaying gratification, and tapping into the part of the brain that understands long-term rewards, can bring about real change. Let’s delve into these incredible celebrity transformations and discover how they were able to make these inspiring changes.
