As a child, Emily Blunt faced the challenge of overcoming a stutter. To her surprise, it was acting that provided the remedy. She recalled “I was trying to push out words, but nothing seemed to work”.

Recently, the actor broke his silence to confirm the reports; he revealed that Jolie had suggested an unorthodox way for them to symbolize their love - slicing their fingers open with razorblades and mixing the blood in lockets which both of them could wear around their necks like mementos of a child. 

The idea was said to be "interesting and romantic" according to Thornton.

With an incredible net worth of up to $600 million, it is not surprising that Rihanna's legs are insured for the hefty sum of one million dollars. However, this amount pales in comparison to Julia Robert's remarkable smile, which is reported to be underwritten with a thirty million dollar coverage. 

Furthermore, Dolly Parton's breasts garner an even more impressive insurance policy as they boast a price tag of six hundred thousand dollars while Kylie Minogue's derriere is protected by a five million dollar safeguard. 

All of these extraordinary figures highlight just how much esteemed celebrities value their physical appearance and the importance they place on its maintenance.

In October 2017, the dark secret of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's predatory behaviour was made public when bombshell reports were released by The New York Times and The New Yorker. 

In the ensuing months, a total of 87 women came forward with accounts that highlighted a heinous pattern of behaviour ranging from inappropriate to criminal actions.

In November 2017, NBC made the startling decision to part ways with Matt Lauer after an employee stepped forward and exposed his alleged sexual misconduct. 

However, far from being the first of its kind, this accusation was merely the tip of a much larger iceberg, as multiple other women and employees soon spoke out against Lauer in subsequent weeks; some even going so far as to claim that he had assaulted them outright. 

By 2019 another former NBC staff member would come forth with reports alleging rape at the hands of Lauer himself - condemning him for good in both public opinion and professional circles alike.

In 1997, when the private antics of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee made headlines as one of the internet's first viral sex videos, shockwaves were sent around the world. Just two years prior to this eventful moment in history, these two iconic figures had secretly filmed their encounter and utilized a safe for storage. Unfortunately for them, an electrician on assignment at their residence had other plans - stealing the safe and releasing its contents to an unsuspecting public.

The result was a hefty payday for those profiting from such content - estimates suggest that nearly $77 million was generated in just one year following its release. The furore of this video gave rise to a new era of celebrity-focused pornography which continues until today; however, it is intriguing that even after all these years, Anderson has still yet to watch her own work!

Though some may consider this figure astronomical -- and rightly so! -- it truly is not surprising when one considers Elton's passion for these symbolic blooms.
