Sister Wives star Meri Brown recently reached out to the fans of her TLC series to defend her newest venture by denying she copied anyone’s work. But despite that denial, the battle begins.
Some critics suggest that the accusations about this not being her original work will likely lead to the failure of Meri’s new gig. Others suggest she out-priced her new service for the average person to join.
They believe that could cause it to go belly-up. But still, those who followed Meri Brown for some time now, believe she can make her latest creation a success.
Sister Wives: Meri Brown Gets Pro-Active
Meri Brown became proactive with “Worthy Up,” a movement that wants its members to feel their worth. Long before her launch date, a new book emerged by a bestselling author, Jamie Kern Lima, titled, “Worthy”.

Robin Roberts returned to work after an absence from Good Morning America last week but may have been dealing with some difficulties.
The GMA anchor returned for Monday’s episode of the morning show and was back again on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Roberts usually shares a morning message and prayer with fans and followers each weekday.
Before she missed Friday’s GMA, she shared a cryptic message with fans.
Wednesday’s video message on her Instagram was also a bit cryptic, as Roberts seemed to relate to what she had to say.
After wishing everyone a good morning, including her Glam Fam crew, Roberts admitted she was “having one of those mornings.”
Roberts tells fans: ‘I’m having one of those mornings’
“Petula and I were sharing. She had her day yesterday. Today is my day,” Roberts shared.
“But you know what? We’re here. Right, Petula?” she said, asking her Glam Fam stylist.

Klaudia Reynicke’s compact feature Reinas deals in intimate moments with an understated charm.
The film, which premiered in the World Cinema Dramatic competition at Sundance, takes place in Lima during a tumultuous summer in 1992 and chronicles an unsteady reunion between a father and his two daughters. It’s a quiet study of paternal redemption, much like In the Summers, another one of this year’s festival offerings. Here, as in Alessandra Lacorazza’s debut, the complexities of a seemingly simple relationship reveal themselves over the course of slow summer days. Reynicke (Love Me Tender, Il Nido) shapes a moving character study of a family trying to ground itself against the backdrop of a shaky political landscape.
An excerpted television news report from the ’90s functions as a prologue, detailing a country in crisis. Peru’s minister of the economy announces that in the next 24 hours, the price of milk...

Someone better start shipping a freight of Biotin over to Gerard Butler's house because the "300," "Phantom of the Opera," and "Plane" star has got a mighty big beard to grow! Butler is a well-decorated performer who has dabbled in just about every film genre possible, but arguably his best role is as Stoick the Vast in "How To Train Your Dragon." As /Film's Leo Noboru Lima explained when ranking the animated adventure flick as the best in Butler's filmography, "How to Train Your Dragon" is one of the few mainstream movies to take Butler seriously as both an imposing leading man and a heartfelt performer, noting, "The film captures those two dimensions of Butler and layers them on top of one another, allowing Butler's prowess as a heartrending dramatic performer to erupt through the cracks of his — ahem — stoic persona." Lima also rightfully highlighted his delivery of "I...

Thiago Seyboth Wild's possible instances of domestic violence have surfaced after the Brazilian's first-round Roland Garros victory over Daniil Medvedev.
Seyboth Wild and Medvedev played out an epic five-set contest in the first-round clash and the Brazilian, ranked 172nd in the Atp standings, eventually edged his Russian competitor. However, while the win was meant to be a moment to savour for the 23-year-old, previous allegations of domestic and psychological violence from Seyboth Wild towards his ex-girlfriend came to the fore again.
Originally, news outlet Uol Esporte published an interview with Seyboth Wild's ex-girlfriend, Thayane Lima, in 2021 where she explained instances of physical and emotional abuse. After his win against Medvedev, Seyboth Wild was questioned by reporters over the incidents, but the 23-year-old explained that it was not the right time to discuss the situation.

A report circulating about a 22-year-old actor named Saint Von Colucci dying from cosmetic procedures to look like BTS singer Jimin have turned out to be an elaborate hoax likely involving the use of AI imagery.
News of the alleged death was first published on the Daily Mail website on April 24, and has now been pulled. The outlet, which does not appear to have issued any form of retraction, did not respond to Variety’s multiple requests for comment.
The alleged news was also picked up by several mainstream publications, including The Independent and TMZ, as well as leading news outlets in Korea. It’s likely that many outlets would have accepted the reports after a similar incident in 2022 in which British influencer Oli London admitted to having numerous surgeries in order to resemble Jimin.
