Paris

Dwayne Johnson has recently achieved a new milestone in his career — a wax figure of him has been unveiled at the renowned Grévin Museum in Paris. But the reactions aren’t the best ones.

All-time beloved Viola Davis became a mom by adopting a daughter. Her perspective on motherhood can truly change the way you see it. She believes being a mom is not just about having a child in your belly.

The Basic Instinct star was deemed one of the most desirable women in Hollywood in the ’90s. Ironically, that movie was released only 6 years before Sharon Stone turned 40, when, as she recently revealed, she was already written off by some film execs. Let’s learn more about how Stone conquered the ageism surrounding her and empowered women everywhere.

Famous for her roles in hits like Tootsie, King Kong, and American Horror Story, Jessica Lange’s personal life has been rather difficult. When she was only 21 years old, she got married to a photographer, divorcing a few years later. After that, the actress never married again.

Keanu is basically the top celeb crush because he never lets his fans down. It doesn’t matter if they’re young or old, he’s always up for hanging out with the people who bump into him, even when they’re a bit of a handful, like this kid he met at the airport.

The world’s main fashion capitals are Paris, Milan, New York and London, but Miami is the hot spot for the latest swimwear trends. Miami Swim Week is more than just a fashion show, it’s a statement of style and attitude.

Imagine you’re an art detective, and your task is to explore the mysteries behind the world’s most famous paintings. I’m talking about works from Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Picasso. Grab your magnifying glass as this journey is about to begin.

You’re hiking in the wilderness, looking for a safe spot to set up camp, all you can hear are leaves and branches cracking under your footsteps... Some squirrels are running up a tree over there! But suddenly, something unexpected happens. You notice something weird in the distance in between the trees, it kinda looks like a concrete structure of some sort! Weird... At this point, you’re at least 20 miles deep into the woods and there are no nearby towns or villages...as far as you know. So, you decide to go off the trail with your friends to get a closer look. But as you get nearer you realize that it’s actually a 12-foot-tall staircase, and it’s leading to... Nowhere? Hmm. What’s it doing there, in the middle of literally nowhere? And it doesn’t even lead to anything. You put on your Sherlock Holmes cap and investigate. So...maybe there used to be an old house or mansion here that collapsed over the years and the only thing left is this staircase? But weirdly enough, after circling the bizarre structure you realize there’s no trace of any ruins or even foundations! It’s like someone just sliced a staircase off their house, cake style, and plopped it here, for no reason. Ok...

Most of Europe’s skyscrapers are concentrated in 5 cities. But even combined, all these places have fewer skyscrapers than New York City alone! For a building to be considered a modern skyscraper, it has to be about 490 ft high, which means it should have at least 40 to 50 stories. A story is simply one floor of a building with an average of 14 feet from floor to ceiling.If you had visited the US just before the 1870s, you’d have found only one skyscraper. The Home Insurance Building in Chicago was the world’s first high-rise building, with 10 floors. Wow! North America started to construct more and more high-rise buildings. It happened because cities were getting too populated. Every piece of land was too valuable.

When Sex and the City fans discovered that the show was getting a reboot without the biggest fan-favorite character Samantha, the outrage was overwhelming. Now, it seems that the creators of And Just Like That... have learned from their mistakes and decided to bring Kim Cattrall to the new show after all. The news is coming amid reports of an ongoing on-set feud between Cattrall and the show’s lead, Sarah Jessica Parker. Let’s learn more about Samantha’s long-overdue return.

So I took a little vacation and traveled to the other side of the country — to New York. Ah, the Big Apple. The city where more than 8 million people live. The home of Broadway, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. Now, Lady Liberty came to the United States from France back in 1885, in over 300 copper pieces. She came with instructions: “Some assembly required. Batteries not included”. She was a gift from the French people to the Americans. But the receiving party had to prepare the pedestal for her themselves. Hmm.Instead of New York, the Statue could’ve ended up in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston or even San Francisco. All of these cities were willing to pay for the construction if they got the Statue. But New Yorkers wanted it, too. They started the fundraising campaign and managed to get all the money needed. So, the Statue officially called New York home in 1886, where it still resides. Sorry, Philly. I like your cheesesteaks, though. Anyway, the Statue of Liberty was my first stop, and I was very excited. But I had no idea what was to come next.

Victory Brinker seems like a typical 11-year-old girl until she starts singing. Her incredible vocal capabilities have captivated audiences worldwide; even those who are not opera fans can’t help but admire her talent. The young star from Pennsylvania even entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s youngest opera singer, and today we bring you her remarkable story.

It’s 10 PM. You suddenly feel hungry and go to the fridge. But there is nothing inside. You decide to hop to the nearest supermarket. There, you find the snack you want and pay by card. On the way home, you wonder: Was it this easy to get food in the city a century ago? One of the streetlights flickers and goes out. You are now in the dark. Feeling scared? Now you know how people felt after sundown in the pre-electricity era.

Although it’s tall and massive, the Statue of Liberty doesn’t always stand still. When the wind is strong enough, she sways by around 3 inches, and her torch — about twice as much. And then on calm days, if you look closely at her feet, you can sometimes catch her doing a little jig underneath that flowing robe. Nah, not really.

The Statue of Liberty wasn’t always the iconic green color that we know today. The statue originally consisted of copper skin over the iron framework, making Lady Liberty appear a bright bronze color. Over the years, the copper began to oxidize, forming a protective layer called patina and creating a bright green hue. It took 30 years for Lady Liberty to turn fully green.

From thousands of dollars worth of treasure to brand-new phones and ancient cities — let’s dive into the water and see what we can dig up.

It’s been a decade since the release of the movie that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes starred in together as a power couple. Although they usually never share details of their relationship, as Mendes said, “[My] man and kids are private,” she recently took to Instagram to celebrate a special occasion in a sentimental post.

Imagine climbing a skyscraper without any protection. You have no security rope, no special equipment, and no special powers like Spiderman. The wind pushes you from the side, and the edges under your fingers are slippery.Plus, hundreds of people are watching and cheering you on from the ground. Would you try it? Me? No. There’s not enough money to get me to... However...

Calls, internet pages, malicious links — those are the ways someone can scam you in the 21st century. But what if someone tried to sell you the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, or even... the Brooklyn Bridge? Hard to believe, but all of these and so many other similar things happened throughout history.

Welcome aboard our flight from London to Miami. It will take us 4 hours 30 minutes. The weather in Miami is... wait — did the pilot just say 4 hours and a half? It sounds like a dream, but it will most likely become our reality in less than 10 years from now! Boom Supersonic, an aircraft manufacturer, is working on a passenger supersonic jet called the Overture that will be able to carry 65 to 80 people at twice the speed of current commercial aircraft. One of the major American airlines is interested in buying around 40 planes.

Hey! I have an invitation for you. Pack your bags, and let’s head down to the world’s most visited city: Paris! The city of love, the city of blinding lights, or whatever you want to call it. Our goal is to uncover as many secrets as possible regarding the world-famous Musée du Louvre. Are you up for it? Grab your travel book and bon voyage!

Woosh! British astronomer Richard Carrington was observing the surface of the Sun through his telescope when he suddenly noticed something strange. There were two patches of very bright and white light. It’s 1859. People are outside, working on their farms, harvesting the fruits of their labor. Life is different — more nature, less technology. Science is developing, not even a lightbulb is invented yet — it will be invented in 20 years, though. Back then the astronomer didn’t know he was looking at what would later be called the Carrington Event, the largest solar storm ever recorded. In fact, this was the first solar flare we’ve ever seen and reported! And there was so much going on!

Usually, people can talk to celebrities during fan meetings and during promo campaigns for movies. But, it turns out, that you can meet a star even in a store or at the park. The main thing you should do in this situation is believe your eyes. If you’re lucky, you can say a few words to the star or even take a photo. These lucky guys from Quora shared their stories.
