It’s the scene where Leo teaches Kate how to SPIT LIKE A MAN. James Cameron wrote the scene, and he stood by it . . . even though Kate, Leo, the producers, and even the studio bosses wanted it cut. James Cameron stuck by his guns, and says it’s one of the most popular scenes in the movie.

I Feel Like a Woman” by Shania Twain . . “Red Solo Cup” by Toby Keith… “Crazy” by Patsy Cline…  (You can check out the full list here.  And, in contrast, here’s a list of #1 country songs that don’t sound country at all.)

Rob Lowe knows his go-to workout song is cheesy.  In fact, he admits it’s the cheesiest thing in the world. It’s “Eye of the Tiger”, the 1982 hit from “Rocky 3”.

Some of the players’ parents have also accused Belichick of fostering a “toxic environment” for the athletes.

Lainey Wilson tells Southern Living magazine that to stay grounded, she hinges her sense of identity on God. “I know who I am, the Lord knows who I am, and I try to live by that. … It’s always about just planting your feet where they are and knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close.”

The injured fan, Robin Patrick, is asking for $75,000 for medical costs and $10 million in damages. She says, “Initially, I experienced a mild tingling sensation without discomfort. However, as the water level rose to cover my legs and reached my buttocks, I began to feel burning and significant discomfort in those areas. I immediately exited the tub, stopped the water, and later stirred the bathwater with my right hand and arm to assess the mixture. That evening, while showering, I experienced intense burning as water contacted the affected areas, which had developed into ulcers. To date, the burns are still not healed… I have endured persistent burning, discomfort, and the emergence of new blister-like sores and ulcers daily. These symptoms have disrupted my daily and nightly routines, preventing me from taking warm showers or wearing clothing over the affected areas.”
