When, and how did so many nurses become medical experts?

Always , but we don't know for sure that @truthrn_michele is a nurse. To be fair, there is ongoing discussion about mammograms. She may be wrong but she's not a wingnut. Plus, she did not discuss colonoscopies, that was a supposed ICU nurse posting under Michele's TikTok. The headline is needlessly confusing,

After his daughter was stabbed 113 times, he fought to change Argentina’s law on femicide. Now Milei wants to change it back

Very confusing headline. It was the father Edgardo Aló who, along with allies, got Argentina to recognize femicide. He does NOT want it cancelled. It is RW President Javier Milei who wants a reversion.

Halle Berry Forced to Change Cannes Dress Amid New Red Carpet Rules, but Says Banning Nudity Is ‘Probably a Good’ Thing

She was not nude. Instead:

... I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it’s too big of a train,” Berry said regarding her look for tonight’s opening night gala. “I’m not going to break the rules. The nudity part is also probably a good rule.” ...

Guess she had a change of heart, though.

When a celeb is called "Unrecognizable" it's almost always because they gained or lost a lot of weight, have been ravaged by disease or accident, have had disfiguring plastic surgery or have had some other surprising and commonly unfortunate event.

'80s Sex Symbol, 66, Unrecognizable at Grammy Hall of Fame Gala



The 2025 Grammy Hall of Fame Gala was held Friday, May 16 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Among those performing as part of the tributes to the inducted recordings was former Bangles frontwoman and total '80s sex symbol, Susanna Hoffs.

The 66-year-old singer was part of the tribute to Cat Stevens' song "Wild World," which was one of 13 newly inducted recordings....

The article never once mentions "Unrecognizable". That's all on the headline writer who apparently has issues with an '80s sex symbol adding 40 years. Hoffs looks fine for 66 and might even do well in Sexy 60s competitions. In fact, it would be kind of creepy if Hoffs was "Recognizable".



How rude. Getting older beats the alternative and is no reason for a dis. The ageist, misogynist Parade headline writer should stfu.

Full disclosure: I'm not as sexy as I was in 1985, either.

[O Really]

I saw that article and almost posted it. Yeah, she still looks good, and all her younger pics are from when she was mostly Bangles costumed - hardly a fair comparison.

I see that "unrecognizable" a lot. Rarely true, unless you count stuff like "Alice Cooper was unrecognizable on the golf course"

Occasionally it's because a celeb looks shockingly normal.

If you knew him only from KISS, Gene Simmons would be "unrecognizable" ... except the tongue might give you a clue.

Willie Nelson, on the other hand, has been instantly "recognizable" for over a half century. Pic from last night's SD concert with Bob Dylan.
