“Entitled” bride unleashes after only seven people RSVP to her wedding

<p dir="ltr">A furious bride has been slammed online after unleashing on a lengthy tirade, calling out her friends and family who aren’t attending her wedding. </p> <p dir="ltr">Sara took to Facebook to share the extensive rant about her upcoming nuptials, after only seven people RSVP’d to the big day. </p> <p dir="ltr">The American bride-to-be called out those she invited to her destination wedding, saying they showed how little they “really” cared about her and her fiancé.</p> <p dir="ltr">“When we invited our friends and family to our destination wedding in Thailand, only nine people RSVP'd. Out of 150!!! OK, I get it, paying $3,000 to share my special day is too much for some of you. I'd pay for yours, but whatever,” she wrote. </p> <p dir="ltr">“But then, when we changed the wedding to be in Hawaii, so it's within everyone's reach, only seven of you RSVP'd? It costs less but less if you want to come? Is that what you think of me? You can't spare $2,000 to come and share our happiness?”</p> <p dir="ltr">Sara said that she was willing to take drastic measures to make up for the disrespect she'd been shown by her loved ones. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I'm tempted to just elope and not let any of you be part of our happiest day. This is it guys, you have three days to respond to our e-vites or we're deleting you off Facebook and good luck keeping up with our lives then.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“And don't get me started on the registry - only the cheap stuff is gone, I swear I thought I had better friends.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“[My fiancé] and I are asking you to reconsider.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Sara’s unhinged rant was quickly shared to a Facebook group dedicated to shaming people’s wedding choices, where it garnered hundreds of comments slamming the bride. </p> <p dir="ltr">“People who get married abroad have chosen not to have guests at their wedding,” one person said.  </p> <p dir="ltr">“Does she not understand people have jobs and kids or just simply don't want to spend thousands on someone else's wedding?” another asked. </p> <p dir="ltr">“If I was her friend I’d save her a job and unfriend myself after reading that,” a third person admitted.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Shutterstock</em></p>

"His worst moment as a person": Sean Penn unleashes on Will Smith's Oscar's slap

<p>Sean Penn has become visibly angry as he recalled the infamous moment at the 2022 Oscars ceremony when Will Smith stormed the stage to slap Chris Rock. </p> <p>Penn recalled the award ceremony moment as he reflected on the Academy's decision to not let Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speak at the ceremony. </p> <p>The actor has been a strong advocate for the people of Ukraine in their ongoing war against Russia, and even traveling to the war-torn region to help in their fight. </p> <p>Speaking to <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/features/sean-penn-slams-will-smith-slap-ai-oscars-1235720417/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Variety</em></a>, Penn shared how frustrated he was that Zelenskyy was silenced, while Smith's actions were the real problem. </p> <p>“The Oscars producer thought, ‘Oh, he’s [Zelenskyy] not lighthearted enough.’ Well, guess what you got instead? Will Smith.”</p> <p><em>Variety</em> noted that the actor was visibly infuriated speaking on the subject, even turning red during the interview.</p> <p>“I don’t know Will Smith. I met him once,” Penn said. “He seemed very nice when I met him. He was so f***ing good in <em>King Richard</em>.”</p> <p>“So why the f**k did you just spit on yourself and everybody else with this stupid f***ing thing? Why did I go to f***ing jail for what you just did? And you’re still sitting there? Why are you guys standing and applauding his worst moment as a person?” the 63-year-old said, referencing his 1987 arrest and jail stint for punching a film extra in the face.</p> <p>“This f***ing bulls**t wouldn’t have happened with Zelenskyy,” Penn added. “Will Smith would never have left that chair to be part of stupid violence. It never would have happened.”</p> <p>Penn was so shocked and infuriated by the moment that he chose to destroy his two Oscars. </p> <p>"I thought, ‘Well, f**k, you know? I’ll give them to Ukraine. They can be melted down to bullets they can shoot at the Russians,’” he said.</p> <p>When visiting Zelenskyy in Ukraine last fall, Penn showed his support by giving the leader one of his Oscars.</p> <p>At the 2022 Oscar's ceremony, Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock after he made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. </p> <p>After returning to his seat, Smith shouted out, “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!”</p> <p><em>Image credits: Getty Images</em></p>

Furious neighbours unleash on backpacking revellers ignoring COVID-19 rules

<p>Backpackers in a Bondi unit block continue to ignore social distancing rules put in place by COVID-19 by holding house parties just days after they were filmed drinking in their backyard until the early morning by angry neighbours.</p> <p>Australia is currently in stage three lockdown, which means that people are unable to leave their homes unless it is necessary (going to work or school, buying essentials, seeking medical care or exercising).</p> <p>Indoor and outdoor gatherings have been restricted to two people as part of further efforts to stop the spread of coronavirus, which is why neighbours are furious at the parties being held by the backpackers.</p> <p>The video of more than a dozen partygoers crammed into a backyard at the block of flats outraged many who are abiding by strict social distancing orders.</p> <p>The two neighbouring buildings are separated by only a few metres, which means sound travels easily.</p> <p>In footage taken just before 3pm, residents were heard yelling at their neighbours asking them to turn down their music.</p> <p>One neighbour confided in<span> </span><em><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8199343/Spanish-backpackers-Bondi-party-house-filmed-blasting-music-coronavirus-lockdown.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a></em><span> </span>that things haven’t gotten any better between the neighbours.</p> <p>“The photos that were shared last week, that was of a calm party, but it's gotten a lot of attention because everyone is trying to do the right thing at the minute,” she said.</p> <p>“I've lived here for about 11 years now and over the past 18 months it's just gotten way worse.”</p> <p>“I yelled out at them today because they were blasting music, but it doesn't do much at all most of the time, they'll be back partying in a few days.”</p> <p>The woman wishes to remain anonymous and says she calls police at least once a week about the neighbours.</p> <p>“It's worse at the minute because people are working from home and I know one girl said she was in a work meeting and was asked: ‘What's all that noise?’”</p> <p>However, one resident of the party block argues that the group are being vilified unfairly.</p> <p>“I think that (last week's party) was blown out of proportion. What you'll actually find is these places are really big and hold eight people each, so it seems like there's a lot of people partying but they're all residents,” she said.</p> <p>“It's not like there were people coming from all over Bondi, it was just a mix of people in the apartments.</p> <p>“There are signs up about noise but that's from New Year's Eve. I mean there can be a lot of noise, but I think it's not as bad as it's made out to be.”</p>

Samantha Markle unleashes on half-sister Meghan in scathing new interview

<p>Every family has their fair share of drama, but for the Markles, “drama” doesn’t even begin to describe their complex family dynamics.</p> <p>In a new interview with <em>A Current Affair</em>, Meghan Markle’s <a href="/entertainment/books/2017/09/inside-meghan-markles-sisters-tell-all-book/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>controversially vocal</strong></span></a> half-sister Samantha has once again unleashed on the soon-to-be royal, saying she’s turned her back on her family.</p> <p>Samantha, a struggling writer and filmmaker who suffers from multiple sclerosis, leaving her wheelchair-bound, has criticised Prince Harry’s fiancée for failing to take care of her family – particularly her dad, Thomas, once an Emmy-winning TV lighting director, now bankrupt and living in Mexico.</p> <p>“I think he did help her a lot and he is very creative too and encouraging, so she made the most of her environment. I don't think he feels that she owes him, but that is how I see it,” Samantha said, claiming her dad helped kickstart Meghan’s acting career.</p> <p>“Honestly, what she could spend in a weekend would greatly help dad, so that should be a priority … I think you need to step up to the plate and make sure he is well taken care of.”</p> <p>Samantha also took aim at the expensive gown worn by Meghan in <a href="/entertainment/art/2017/12/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-engagement-photos/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">her engagement photos</span></strong></a>. “If you can afford $75,000 for a dress, you can afford $75,000 to help your dad.

I never felt bitter or jealous. I had made similar choices.

British Airways unleash hilarious new safety video

<p>It is no secret that airlines compete fiercely with each other to have the most entertaining safety videos. British Airways might have created the funniest video yet with their new one that features a star-studded cast.</p> <p>Celebrities including Rowan Atkinson, Sir Ian McKellen, Gordon Ramsay and Thandie Newton teamed up with charity Comic Relief, all pretending to audition for a role as they demonstrate the safety procedures.</p> <p>The video begins with <em>12 Years a Slave</em> Oscar-nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor who admitted he had never made a safety video before.</p> <p>British comedian Asim Chaudry stars as the video’s director and says, “Well this could be your big break, OK mate? So don’t mess it up.”</p> <p>Chiwetel perfectly executes the audition but Asim writes him off as being “a bit of a show off” as he didn’t need the autocue.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YCoQwZ9BQ9Q?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p>Gordon Ramsay enters next reading a script with words like “darling” while placing a petite handbag under a seat.</p> <p>When Ramsay realises his part was written for someone else, he outbursts in his signature style.</p> <p>When Thandie Newton appears, she explains to viewers how to find the exits and the director is mesmerised over her performance.</p> <p>“No seriously, that bit about the nearest exits? Really powerful,” he says.</p> <p>Sir Ian McKellen makes a cameo alongside Warwick Davis, who played Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter movies. The pair demonstrate the safety masks.</p> <p>Jim Broadbent, who played Bridget Jones’ dad, demonstrates putting away tray tables before landing.</p> <p>“Genius! Look, I’ve got goosebumps,” Asim says.</p> <p>“I suppose it did have a certain je ne sais quoi, thank you,” Jim replies.</p> <p>Gillian Anderson from <em>X-Files </em>closes with the brace position, and – without uttering a word – Rowan Atkinson adds his magic touch.</p> <p>The safety video will raise money for Flying Start, a charity dedicated to raising money for children in need around the globe.</p>
