Princess Diaries fans left mind-blown after spotting subtle link to legendary icon

Since Anne Hathaway’s role as Mia Thermopolis in the 2001 hit comedy Princess Diaries, it has been 24 years old, to film. One undiscovered aspect of the iconic film is currently being discovered only recently.

Can you believe it has been 24 years since Mia Thermopolis learned she is Genovia’s sole heir? No, neither can we. Anne Hathaway confirmed a third sequel to The Princess Diaries just last October, and the series has had the honor of premiering two popular films.

Mia, the teenage protagonist of Anne Hathaway’s first Disney film, is unapologetically visited by her estranged grandmother Clarisse, who is also portrayed by Julie Andrews. Three weeks prior to the Genovian Independence Day Ball, Clarisse is attempting to persuad Mia to accept her life-changing offer, which involves her taking “princess lessons.”

Princess Diaries fans are only now learning one thing about the film’s connection to Whitney Houston after a Reddit post that received 5,700 upvotes.

One of the posters in Mia’s room from The Princess Diaries (2001) is a piece of Aretha Franklin, according to a Reddit post under the r/MovieDetails forum.

Whitney Houston, a producer on the movie, and Franklin was a close family friend and “honorary aunt.” “

Houston, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 48, was also the producer of the popular television show Princess Diaries.

In 2012, she co-produced The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, The Cheetah Girls, The Cheetah Girls 2, and Jordin Sparks’ film Sparkle.

Hathaway is seen sitting down at a table with the icon next to her in a photo taken at the time of the filming.

On the set of the legendary film, which was Hathaway’s first significant success in Hollywood, the pair appeared to be having a heated conversation.

People were unapologetically surprised by the discovery because it was shared on Reddit, I suppose.

One person wrote, “It took me years before I realized Whitney was a producer on this!” “

Continue reading the article below.

“Never noticed that! “, another added. My mind was blown out, bro. Princess Diaries, in reality, isn’t given nearly enough credit for its subtle details. “

Someone else remarked, “I watch this movie several times a year without realizing that Whitney Houston was a producer. “

Zoe Slater’s daughter ‘still alive’ as EastEnders fans spot ‘huge clue’ in episode

Fans aren’t so sure about the girl’s tragic death, but it was revealed in last night’s EastEnders that Zoe Slater had given birth to twins while she was away in 2006 despite what appeared to be the case.

It was bombshell after bombshell in last night’s epic EastEnders episode. In a flashback to 2006, it was revealed Zoe had given birth to twins, although it seemed the girl had died. However, fans believe she may be alive, as it wasn’t directly said in the episode.

In the flashback, Zoe realized there was only one baby left to her, a boy, while she was giving birth to the twins in the hospital. The nurse then inquired as to why the doctor had indicated that she would speak with her.

Zoe then told the nurse she wanted to put her son up for adoption, although she was told not to make any rash decisions. As the nurse stepped out to speak to the doctor, Zoe made an escape from the hospital, leaving her baby boy behind.

Before being shot and losing so much blood, Zoe told Kat she “couldn’t even be a proper mother” when she was asked if her babies had died. Zoe’s angel tattoo was also seen by the public. Some fans aren’t so sure, though it was assumed that the daughter, who we didn’t see in the flashback, had passed away.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter last night when the bombshell episode aired, one fan penned: “I just saw a theory on TikTok and it pointed out something I missed, The nurse never actually said your daughter died I’m so sorry, She said the doctor will speak to you shortly.”

A second phrase follows, “I believe there is a chance that Zoe’s daughter is still alive and that she didn’t wait to learn about her daughter’s fate and assumed the worst,” and she got a tattoo of it because she assumed her daughter was dead.

Anyone else believe Zoe’s daughter is still alive, asks a third person? She was just told by the doctor that she was dead, which was never stated in writing. She might have been suffering from a condition but managed to survive.

Fans are left wondering who the father might be because we weren’t told any more about the birth of twins until Zoe gave birth to them.

Some fans believe Den Watts is the father, based on Walford’s events and timing. Zoe had an abortion after sleeping with Den, but Zoe had a baby. According to one X-L fan, “If anything, it’s Den’s baby.” Another once said, “Den the dad, wait.

Others believed her ex Anthony Trueman could be the father after his reaction to seeing Zoe again. One fan said: “Anthony Truman is the father, didn’t they have a fling?.” A fan added: “Those an Anthony’s kids.”

Max Branning made a surprise appearance elsewhere when it was revealed he was calling Zoe. Why?

Fans will have to watch what happens while they do…

On BBC One and BBC iPlayer, EastEnders airs on Mondays through Thursdays at 7:30 PM.

Who is in and who is out of English teams’ European squads?

Following the international break, Premier League teams have named their squads, and European club football returns.

Federico Chiesa has been omitted from Liverpool’s squad, but 15-year-old Max Dowman is in line to become the youngest player to make the Champions League after being chosen for Arsenal.

squads competing in the Champions League

Chiesa, a Liverpool forward, is Arne Slot’s 22-man squad’s most well-known absentee.

Up to 25 players can be named by clubs, with a maximum of 17 of whom were not “locally trained.”

Rio Ngumoha, a teenager who scored a stunning winner last month at Newcastle, has been chosen.

The six-time European Cup winners have a new addition in the form of Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giovanni Leoni, Giorgi Mamardashvili, and Freddie Woodman.

Dowman, a 15-year-old midfielder, has been chosen for Arsenal’s 23-man squad, but Gabriel Jesus, who is out injured, will not.

If Dowman, who was born on December 31, 2009, becomes the youngest player to play in the Champions League before turning 16 years old, he will become the youngest player to do so.

Youssoufa Moukoko, a striker who played for Borussia Dortmund at the age of 16 and 18 days, holds the record.

Although Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are missing, they can be added to the squad list B, which is made up of players under the age of 21 who have been eligible for the first team for at least two years.

Jesus is recovering from a January knee injury.

Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, and Viktor Gyokeres are among Arsenal’s eight senior summer signings.

Facundo Buonanotte has been cut from his 23-man squad, according to Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

In his first interview with the club, the Argentina international, who signed on a season-long loan from Brighton, described the “possibility to play in the Champions League for the first time.”

Thomas Frank, the manager of Tottenham, has omitted Mathys Tel from his squad for a sum of $ 30 million.

Kota Takai, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Radu Dragusin are among the summer signings who have been named, but Randal Kolo Muani and Xavi Simons are not.

In Eddie Howe’s squad, Newcastle United signed forwards Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade in place of departed striker Alexander Isak.

Aaron Ramsdale, Antony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey, and Malick Thiaw, all signed this summer, have also been a part of Newcastle.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, who joined Manchester City on transfer deadline day and helped Paris St-Germain win the Champions League last year, is one of four goalkeepers in the squad.

Pep Guardiola chose France’s Rayan Cherki despite the fact that he was expected to miss two months with an injury.

squads from the Conference League and the Europa League

Hutchinson is not included in his 22-man Europa League squad, according to Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

The winger, who moved to Forest from Ipswich for £37.5 million, was left out along with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jair Cunha, and Cuiabano, two other recent additions.

Forwards Taiwo Awoniyi and Jota Silva have not been named because of their involvement with moves away from the City Ground.

Ross Barkley is the only player who is missing from Aston Villa’s 21-man squad.

Emiliano Martinez makes his debut for Argentina after failing to secure a move away from Villa Park before the transfer deadline.

Victor Lindelof, Harvey Elliott, and Jadon Sancho have all been chosen as recent signings.

What are the European squad regulations?

Two lists of players must be submitted for each Uefa competition.

Clubs on list A are allowed to submit a maximum of 25 players, with eight spots reserved for only homegrown players.

At least four “club-trained” players and four “association-trained” players must make up these eight.

Players who meet the club-trained criteria must have been on the club’s books for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21, per Uefa regulations.

Any player who has played for three years, regardless of nationality, between the ages of 15 and 21, has played for the association they are currently affiliated with.

As long as the players are born on or after January 1, 2004, a club can register an unlimited number of players for the season on List B.

List A squads for the 36 contenders for the Champions League league stage were released on Wednesday, while list B players must be made by the deadline of 23:00 BST the day before each game.

The teen aiming to be youngest undisputed champion

“That’s a fact of course.”

Tiah-Mai Ayton, 19, wants to become the youngest female boxing champion in history to win the title in both genders.

When Gabriela Fundora, the only American, won all of her flyweight titles at age 22, she won all of them in November of that year.

Why should Ayton, however, be so candid about laying out her goals? Only three of the over 300 fights between her and her in Muay Thai, mixed martial arts, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and boxing were defeats, which she later corrected.

On Saturday, she will fight Lydie Bialic in her second professional boxing match.

She glared up when she learned about Fundora’s success and said, “I could do that. That is something I can do without a doubt.

That will present a new challenge for me. I have a long time ahead of me.

Ayton is correct. Women’s boxing also moves quickly, so watch out, Nina Hughes, for example. She does have a long time.

In her fifth professional fight, she won the world title.

Ayton has her sights on plenty of gold in addition to breaking records.

Ayton remarked, “I want to be undisputed in bantamweight and super-bantamweight before it moves to featherweight and super-featherweight.”

“I want to fit into any of those four categories, and I want to be unwavering in each of them.” Although I have high expectations, I believe I can handle it.

No one has yet managed to win four world titles, aside from Claressa Shields, who holds the record for the most in three different weights.

Despite her youth, Ayton isn’t getting carried away, despite the likes of Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano who have opened the door for women boxers to make millions of dollars.

When questioned about what to buy with her first healthy fight purse, the teen chose a flash car.

“I want a farm,” he said. I want chickens, goats, and sheep. That is my dream, according to Ayton.

I’ve known I’d be a figher, I’ve always said that.

Ayton, who had caught her attention while sparring with former featherweight world champion Skye Nicolson at age 18, signed with promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.

She won gold in the 57kg weight category at the amateur World Championships in Colorado last year, and she is a five-time national champion in the same category.

She also won the 60 kg lightweight Haringey Box Cup on television in June of that year.

All of this came before Sara Orszagi’s stunning stoppage in her June professional debut.

However, she might not have discovered her talent if it weren’t for her sister’s childhood quarrels with the super-bantamweight, despite her desire to make history in the sport.

Ayton remarked, “It’s actually so silly.”

“I started because my sister and I used to fight constantly.”

What data are gathered from this quiz?

Ayton’s impressive youth career made her a potential addition to the British Olympic team.

Everyone wants a gold medal, she said, but she was turned off by amateur boxing.

“I had the opportunity to travel with GB, but I’m from a family and adore spending time with my family.” She said, “I didn’t want to move away and move up to Sheffield.”

“I just don’t like the way amateurs are generally perceived. Just getting in there and fighting, I think.

I enjoy escorting people.

At the tender age of 18, she made the decision to turn pro, and Matchroom signed her in May.

Ayton has a great reputation with her debut thanks to Hearn’s signature and her 21-0 amateur record.

Ayton felt the pressure, especially given that she had braces on her teeth and was being criticized as the female boxing future.

I can recall having a conversation with Dean Lewis, my coach, a while back. She claimed that we both felt pressure.

Everyone has bigoted me, and people blame their coaches for losing, so we were under a lot of pressure.

“He knows what I’m capable of, and I know what I’m capable of.”

Jack Osbourne breaks down in tears over ‘perfection’ around Ozzy’s death

Jack, Ozzy Osbourne’s son, cried as he compared the “perfect” situation that the Black Sabbath legend’s passing just weeks after his farewell concert caused him to cry.

Ozzy’s death has been covered up by Jack Osbourne.

Jack, Ozzy Osbourne’s son, broke down as he described the death of his father. Just weeks after giving his final Black Sabbath concert at his beloved Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham, The Prince of Darkness passed away on July 22 at the age of 76.

While the Osbourne family have previously posted tributes to the late great musician, Jack, has now spoken in detail about the death of his father, including how he was informed of the heartbreaking news, while on the other side of the world. Following the Back to the Beginning concert, Jack stayed with his family in the UK for a week.

Just days before Ozzy tragically fell ill and experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, he made the decision to go back to his Los Angeles home. Later, Ozzy’s death certificate revealed that his cause of death was ruled to be autonomic dysfunction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease (joint causes).

Now, Jack has spoken out about the devastating news on his YouTube channel and says there was “almost a perfection” around the death of Ozzy. He said: “One thing that has kind of stuck with me about my father’s exit was how, you know, there is almost a perfection to it.

He had to bid him a profound farewell. He must show his gratitude to his supporters. He saw his former friends, whom he hadn’t seen in a while. He had to perform, after all, there was a ton accomplished before the end. And, you will know, there will be a lot of that when the time comes, we’ll talk about.

Um, in the end, it was overwhelming, and one of the most shocking, in my opinion, was how shocked I was by the love that flowed. It’s been beautiful, in my opinion. It’s been valid to witness that outpouring of love, as I previously stated. We saw it all, we read the letters, and people who sent cards and did the postage either laid flowers at the Birmingham Bridge or dropped them off at the house.

We are so grateful for that and, as I said earlier, it was validating because we know it’s been a difficult six weeks as a family, we’re navigating it alone and in our own ways.

“I believe it’s common, and the pain of grief that comes with loving someone so much is what we pay for their passing.” That’s fine with me. “Jack also made it known that a family member knocked on his door at around 3:45 am on July 22 – nine days after he arrived in Los Angeles.

Before explaining that the employee had informed him that Ozzy had passed away at home, he said, “I knew something bad had happened.” However, Jack realized that while he was having “so many thoughts,” his beloved father was no longer ill.

Continue reading the article.

Due to Ozzy’s high spirits in the days leading up to his death, the family did not anticipate receiving the news. The Osbourne family announced in a statement on the day of Ozzy’s passing that “our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

He was surrounded by love and his family. At this time, we ask that everyone respects our family’s privacy. Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis, among others.

Google told to pay $425m for breaching millions of users’ privacy

A US jury ordered Google to pay $425 million for violating the privacy of tens of millions of users who chose not to use a feature-tracking app.

After a group of Google users accused the tech giant of continuing to collect data from third-party apps even after they had changed their account settings to stop it, the jury in San Francisco on Wednesday delivered the verdict.

Google claimed it had an error in understanding how its products operated and that it had filed an appeal.

When users choose to turn off personalization, Google spokesman Jose Castaneda said in a statement that “we honor that choice.”

The plaintiffs claimed in their lawsuit that Google hacked into privacy guidelines set forth in its Web &amp, App Activity settings, collecting and selling users’ data for mobile app activity.

Around 98 million Google users were covered by the lawsuit, which was filed in July 2020.

Google had argued during the trial that the data was kept in “segregated, secured, and encrypted locations” and not “personal.”

Google&nbsp has been the subject of a number of other recent privacy-related lawsuits.
