Fans of the YouTube star were emotional after watching her most recent vlog.

After posting a touching vlog that caused her to experience a panic attack on a flight, Emma Chamberlain has been receiving messages of support.

The YouTuber, who boasts over 12 million subscribers on her main channel alone, shared that she was “deeply frightened” of getting on a plane and recently had to face her fear alone on a solo flight.

She documented the journey in her latest vlog, explaining: “I’m just getting frustrated because I feel like I’ve done everything right to overcome this fear and yet I’m not overcoming the fear.

I thought that facing them would help you conquer your fear, and I do this despite being incredibly afraid to fly all the time.

Then, according to her, she began praying in an effort to calm her nerves, which she claimed had previously worked for her.

She admitted in the video’s voiceover that she was shutting her eyes and breathing heavily and that she still felt panicked despite praying. My heart raced as soon as we started taking off, and my tears filled my eyes.

She continued, “Every bump and sound coming from the plane convinced me that I was going to die, and I was utterly terrified.” However, I’ll say that the emotional response was much less dramatic because of having to deal with it alone.

Emma eventually realized she had a slower heart rate and could control the situation better, but she later acknowledged it was still a “tough time.”

Her openness about her fear prompted fans to flood the comments sections with messages of support and thanks for sharing such an intimate experience with the world.

“It just made me feel emotional to see how someone else’s anxiety and panic appeared to me.” Emma, I appreciate it. Thank you for writing one emotional fan. This is very significant.

Second, “Seeing your anxiety and fears rally made me emotional because it’s something influencers don’t typically share with us. It comforts me that this doesn’t just happen to me because it made me feel so seen and “normal.”

Everyone talks a lot about “normalizing mental health,” but this is how you do it, gushed a third viewer. Despite going through some anxiety stages, I’m glad to be in a better place than I ever have now.

Weaving plays a pop star whose stalker breaks into her home, as depicted in the horror-comedy Borderline, which The Mirror interviewed Samara Weaving and Jimmy Warden about.

The Mirror U.S. sat down with Samara Weaving and Jimmy Warden, husband and wife, to discuss their newest venture, Borderline.

The comedy thriller stars Samara as Sophia, a ’90s pop sensation whose obsession with Paul, played by the outstanding Ray Nicholson, encircles her home and tries her best to marry her using whatever means is necessary. Jimmie Fails, Eric Dane, and Alba Baptista are among the cast’s other notable performers.

Samara and Jimmy discussed how to balance comedy and horror elements, from how they acted as a couple to how they came to be a creative force behind the project. On Peacock, which airs in the United States on September 8th, 2018, will be streaming of Borderline.

With her standout performance in Ready or Not, Samara’s recognition as a mainstream talent and horror icon solidifies her status as a true Scream Queen. The Borderline screenplay and Jimmy’s screenwriting for the 2023 horror-comedy Cocaine Bear received awards on The Black List.

The pair first met on the set of Netflix’s 2017 slasher The Babysitter before exchanging vows in 2019, reports Mirror US.

According to Jimmy, they are “pretty good at putting on different hats” depending on the circumstances, especially since their relationship began on set and both understand the realities of show business life. The pair’s extensive research of each other’s quirks is invaluable for professional collaboration, according to the pair.

“I’ll say, though, that the shorthand is fantastic. Jimmy wrote, “Agree, you look at me like you’re really annoyed,” in a note that Samara had left his wet towel on the bed. Yes . Give me a death stare. ‘”.

Jimmy continued by describing how their marriage strengthens their professional partnership because it enables them to take more daring, imaginative risks.

In a utterly endearing display of mutual admiration, the couple couldn’t stop sung one another’s praises during our conversation.

Jimmy explained that he had thought about Sophia’s character when we were talking about her. I was aware that no one could play the role more well than she could, and two because it would be fun.

She watches all of her cool movies and occasionally throws me a bone, he said in a grin.

Samara, on the other hand, praised Jimmy’s ability to write well and explain how his words helped her deliver her best performances and create the atmosphere that the finished product embodies. The director acknowledged that Madonna served as “the point of inspiration” for Sophia’s character and the developing plot when discussing the movie’s inspiration.

The pop star confronted a terrifying fan who was obsessed with marrying the superstar and threatened to kill her during his 1996 court case.

The stalker later escaped from the mental hospital where he was being treated, a scene that resembles Paul from Borderline, which also has its title with a Madonna song from the film, which was later reimagined by The Flaming Lips.

Because that night just seemed like it was stranger than fiction, Jimmy explained, “I’ve always been sort of fascinated by that night.”

She had a fling with Dennis Rodman in that time, I also became aware of. What if these two nights were the same, I thought to myself, “Okay, what if they were the same?” He alludes to Jimmie Failes’ character DeVante Rhodes, a professional basketball player with bleached hair who ends up in a wedding gown in the movie. The director cited as primary inspirations for Borderline movies Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, and Misery.

We were just sort of attempting to combine all of these tones into one character, Paul, to make him feel. And I believe that he adores Sophia despite everything.

Samara and Jimmy’s co-stars praised Ray Nicholson, the son of Jack Nicholson, for his hard work and spontaneous improvisations.

Borderline skillfully combines unexpected comedy with terror, particularly in the memorable fight between Sophia and Penny, which Alba Baptista portrays.

Jimmy delved into the difficulty of combining humor and grave themes, saying, “If we’re trying to create some sort of empathy and compassion for this guy that is doing it, I feel like if the crux of why he’s doing it comes from passion and love, then it’s a little easier to get there by the end. You kind of fall in love with someone if you make them laugh.

He further explained that some of the material is simply genuine reactions because of Ray’s style of play. And Sam allows the audience to sort of exhale in “This is insane” at specific points, but her being odded out in some of the subtler moments helps the audience to “settle a little bit” into the movie’s tone.”

Samara remarked, “I mean, I think the script did that, it’s a really difficult tone to follow.” However, I believe it is as a result of your response to some of Paul’s statements and actions. The page had a very clear tone. My job was made very simple because the script’s tone was so crystal clear.

The duo made fun of potential future joint ventures, but they kept their names a secret. Carolina Caroline, Samara’s most recent film, is scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.

The Life On Mars singer’s passing was the result of a project that was so secret that not even his closest friends knew of it.

Late singer David Bowie ‘s secret final project has been revealed and will be made available to the public in a museum display.

Even his closest friends weren’t aware of the musical until after he passed away because he had begun producing it months before his death.

The Spectator features music from London in the 18th century. Bowie’s notes, which will be on display at V&amp, A East Storehouse in Hackney Wick, demonstrate his deep interest in both the development of the medium and the existence of criminal gangs.

Bowie kept all of his notes locked away in his study while he was writing the musical in the months prior to his passing. The legendary musician lost his battle with cancer in 2016 at the age of 81.

The notes from his final, final, and secret project were discovered in his deathbed, which Bowie and his assistant had previously only been able to access. Up until archivists began cataloguing the contents of the handwritten notes, all of which remained undisturbed.

They have already been given to the V&amp, A museum, and will be accessible when the David Bowie Center debuts at the Hackney Wick location on September 13th.

The album will be accompanied by 90,000 other singer-related items. The exhibition seeks to follow Bowie’s “creative processes as an advocate for self-expression and reinvention” as well as his musical innovations and cultural icons.

Bowie is not the only musical that performs this. Shortly before he passed away, he and Enda Walsh wrote the musical Lazarus in honor of Walter Tevis’ 1963 novel The Man Who Fell To Earth. Bowie starred in the book’s 1976 film adaptation.

Bowie’s musical was filmed for six weeks in New York before being moved to London from November 2016 through January 2017.

The musical’s songs were later recorded for a posthumous album and made accessible via virtual reality. It followed Bowie’s most recent album, Blackstar, which was only days before his passing. His thoughts on his own mortality and how they changed as his cancer progressed are explored in the album.

A new box set will be available for purchase the day before the V&amp, A exhibition opens. The final years of Bowie’s career are documented and celebrated in I Can’t Give Everything Away (2022-2016).

Lulu, the singer, revealed she is an alcoholic when she for the first time admitted to trying to “supress feelings” for years.

Lulu has bravely laid bare the extent of her alcohol addiction for the first time as she opened up on her secret shame she hid for years. The singer, 76, admitted she spent years in “dark” moments after trying to “suppress feelings”.

She heartbreakingly described how she was “terrified” of turning up like her father, who was once “dragged away by the police.” Lulu, who is best known for her hit Shout, admitted to drinking in secret.

The pop star emphasized that her constant desire to be “the best Lulu” was heightened as her fame became more mainstream. She and her band The Luvvers performed at number seven on the UK singles chart before releasing 10 UK top 10 singles and albums.

Lulu has now admitted to struggling for years but wanted to keep her addiction private “until I had the language to understand it.” Behind her success, Lulu has now said she has been. In an effort to understand her battle, Lulu turned to memoirs and self-help books.

She described how Jordan Frieda, 48, her son, and other factors, made her drinking worse as she grew older. Lulu told The Times, “It had been manageable up until I reached my 60s.”

With both of my parents gone, the empty nest, looking around, and seeing all the young musicians in the music industry, I became more and more dependent on it, and it just got worse.

She continued, “For many years, and I can’t tell how many, I had not been happy with my feelings, had not been at all happy, and [yet] unable to ask for assistance.” Lulu evocatively recalls her parents’ domestic violence experiences from her early years.

It is a “family illness.” She claimed that there is a gene. Due to the fear that her parents would be labeled as “bad people,” Lulu decided to keep quiet about what she saw at home.

She continues to feel shame about her actions despite the fact that she now thinks they were “damaged.” According to Lulu, her drinking was “the culmination of a life spent trying to suppress feelings” and continued to have a bad reputation.

Thankfully, after seeking assistance, Lulu claims she has never been happier in life. She said, “I finally realized it’s an illness that messes with everything.”

“I’m sorry I’m an alcoholic and I’m recovering from this,” I’m aware of how it sounds. Since marrying John Frieda from 1977 to 1977, Lulu has wed Maurice Gibb twice.

She says she is now in a “brighter” world with her cockapoo in central London. In May, Lulu opened up to the Mirror about mental health as she launched her own charity, Lulu’s Mental Health Trust.

She told the Mirror, “My memoir opened my eyes to the significance that mental health has had on my life. whether it’s my own mental health, those of my loved ones, my coworkers, or anything else.

“We didn’t talk about it when I was first entering the industry!” However, I want to help because it is so crucial. When I read the book I think is coming soon, people will understand what I mean.

When David Bowie passed away, he had a final stage production planned, but it didn’t go as planned. Nine years after his death, the project has been made public.

David Bowie was working on a secret final project when he died – a musical about the 18th century.

Called The Spectator, its entire existence was unknown to even his closest friends. But notes were discovered locked in his study in 2016 including dozens of sticky post-it notes with ideas for his musical, which could be moved around to create a structure. They have now been donated to the V&A Museum, with the rest of David Bowie’s archive.

Shared with the BBC, the notes and an accompanying notebook shows Bowie’s fascination with the development of art and satire in 18th Century London, as well as stories of criminal gangs including the notorious thief “Honest” Jack Sheppard.

Unfortunately, the musical didn’t come to fruition until Bowie passed away in January 2016 because it had missed one of Bowie’s long-achieved goals. In 2002, he told BBC Radio 4’s John Wilson, “I really wanted to write for theatre.” And I suppose I could have just written for a theater in my living room, but I believe the goal was always to have a sizable audience.

Bowie had already pinned his notes to the walls of his New York office just as he had left them.

Bowie and his personal assistant were the only ones who had a key in the locked room until archivists began cataloguing his belongings, but they remained there for months.

When the David Bowie Centre opens at the V&amp, A East Storehouse in Hackney Wick on September 13th, fans and academics can view the notes.

More than 90,000 items from Bowie’s life will be displayed at the exhibition’s opening, including a note from the singer revealing his thoughts on Oasis and why the band struggled to survive in America.

A letter from his father, a rejection letter from Apple Records, and more than 400 clothing items are also included in the Bowie exhibition. Freddie Burretti wore an ice-blue suit for the Life on Mars video in 1972, among other things. and a Kansai Yamamoto bodysuit with a rabbit-print on it that was worn during his 1972 performance at the London Rainbow Theatre as Ziggy Stardust.

A framed black-and-white photograph of Little Richard in full performance frenzy and a large number of fan letters he kept are present. Bowie, who passed away in January 2016, described the photo as one of his most prized possessions.

* V&amp, A East Storehouse will host The David Bowie Center on September 13. Access is provided by a free ticket that must be pre-purchased.

Emma Heming Willis has recalled the traumatic moment of Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis, describing the lack of support, her struggles as a caregiver, and how she’s now finding purpose in raising awareness

Emma Heming Willis has revealed the harrowing moment she first learned Bruce Willis was facing frontotemporal dementia.

The Die Hard star, 70, was officially diagnosed in 2023, but Emma says she will never forget the day doctors first explained the condition in November 2022.

“I’m sure the doctor was explaining what FTD is, buT I couldn’t hear a single thing,” she told People. “I had pins and needles going through my body. My ears were wafting. I’m sure he was feeding us information but all I heard was just, ‘Check back in and here’s a pamphlet’.”

While the diagnosis clarified Bruce’s troubling behavior, Emma admitted the lack of guidance was crushing.

“I was grateful to get to a diagnosis, but there is no cure for this disease, and being sent on our way with no support, no nothing was really traumatic. It’s not just happening to us. This is how many people are receiving their diagnosis,” she revealed.

She recalls feeling “very dark, very one-note of just grief and sadness,” often left to search online for answers. “I ended up searching the web to figure out what to do,” she said.

Now raising daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, largely on her own, Emma says caregiving forced her to find purpose. “Early on I was too scared to say anything to anyone… I realized it would be beneficial to talk about it and raise awareness.”

Her journey inspired her new book The Unexpected Journey. “I wrote the book that I wish someone had handed me on the day we received the diagnosis,” she explained.

“Caregiving is hard, and there are many people doing it with little to no support… The only way I can get through this is to help someone else feel less alone.”

Bruce now lives in a nearby one-story home with a full-time care team. “Bruce would want that for our daughters,” Emma explained. “He would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.”

Despite criticism for the move, Emma defended the decision, saying she has been judged “quickly and unfairly.”

During a joint ABC special with Diane Sawyer, she offered reassurance: “Bruce is still very mobile. Bruce is in really great health overall, you know. It’s just his brain that is failing him.

“We have a way of communicating with him that is just a different way, but I’m grateful. I’m grateful that my husband is still very much here.”
