New Experiences & Meeting a Fellow Zebra

Is it too late to say Happy New Year? It’s still just about January so I think it’s okay 😛 I’m allowed to say it because this is my first blog post of 2017! Hope everyone is having a good year so far. I’ve been busy this year. The first 10 days disappeared with movies, work, molly walking, and seeing family and friends. On the 11th I had my first Blood Patch Operation which had a much bigger affect on me than I thought it would meaning I was flat in bed for 3 days, unable to walk properly for a week and I’m still relying on my stick to get me around outside. And I’ve had to cancel going to see Busted with my brother and best friend because I’m just not going to manage standing which is a real shame as the tickets were a birthday present and  I was looking forward to. For the last two weeks I’ve spent a lot of time on the sofa watching films, Once Upon a Time and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I’ve had a lot of extra pain in my back and have found it difficult not being able/allowed to bend, stretch or lift at all. Not being able to bake or cook because of it has really sucked! But mum has helped me make my Granola so I’ve at least had yummy food for breakfast. Being so sedentary has really badly affected my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome causing major flare ups in my shoulders, knees and hips. And the cold weather outside has not helped either. Unfortunately the surgery has also not worked as well as I hoped. I think it has helped my headaches a little but as I sit here typing with an awful one I know it’s not quite done the trick to fix my CSF leak so they are repeating the surgery in February (which we expected) in the hopes of further improving my symptoms. You can keep up to date with my day to day activities on Instagram & Twitter ( @1nvisibl3Girl) as this year I’ve decided to attempt the #pictureadaychallenge . The night before my surgery I also wrote a new article for The Mighty about the difficulties in receiving any kind of treatment when you have a Chronic Illness and you can find that article Here.

But I wanted to tell you about slightly more exciting things. You many remember that in my post before Christmas I mentioned that my friend Dan Parker and I were going to be contestants on a new  TV game show hosted by Noel Edmonds and earlier this week we did exactly that. Probably not the best idea 10 days after my op but I knew I could be sat down the whole time, it was something to look forward to and we had absolutely nothing to loose so off to Bristol we went. Dan was very sweet and was my bag carrier the whole 4 days we ended up being there. The hotel was lovely, wish we’d have got time to have used the spa and wish I was able to swim. The first night was freezing which was not good for my hands or feet but every night my room was on a higher floor and slowly got warmer each time 😛 The restaurant were great too I wasn’t expecting much but I managed to have a lovely sweet potato and black bean chilli with rice. On the 3rd night the host took pity on me having to have the same dinner again and had the chef make another dish suitable for my Gluten free, Dairy free, vegetarian diet and brought out a lovely Nasi Goreng with Peanuts which took me right back to my time in Bali. I was very impressed. I have never seen a TV set before let alone been on a TV show so it was a really interesting experience. We went through briefing, wardrobe, make up and spent a lot of time in the green room. I knew there would be a lot of waiting around in TV but I didn’t realise quite how much. The sitting all day was awful for my hips and shoulders and on the second full day of waiting I ended up lying across sofas and floors just to get comfortable. Waiting around can be really tiring as well especially when early starts are involved; being up, medicated, dressed and fully made up and on a mini bus by ten past seven was a huge challenge for me and not one I could repeat in a hurry. But the one thing I didn’t even think of in TV is the amount of wonderful people you get to meet who come from all different walks of life. We met some lovely couples from policemen to events organisers and serial game show contestants. We were in a group of about 12 (6 couples) for certain call times. A group of completely random people but you’ll never guess who I met? (I mean its not like a haven’t mentioned it in the title or anything) Another lady with EDS! I think we were both as surprised as each other as we discovered we were fellow Zebras just as I had been telling another couple about my ‘rare’ connective tissue disorder. She was on crutches, and had been for a year due to a bad knee dislocation and I was still reliant on my stick from my op. It was great to go through this new experience for both of us with someone else who totally understood the pain and fatigue involved in waiting around, sitting in one place and not getting enough exercise. We also ended up being on the same programme and talking to Noel about our condition on the show which will hopefully be shown and received well and raise a little bit of awareness for EDS which would be great. I did , however have a not so great moment but the mixture of an early morning, extreme fatigue, difficult medication management due to a 5:30am start and the adrenaline rush of playing the game sent my POTs crazy and meant my legs started getting pretty uncontrollable shakes after topping up on meds, having some grapes and lots and lots of water in the green room I recovered well enough to carry on recording after the break. The show will be aired at some point over the spring or summer and will keep you updated as to when its on. It looks like its going to make an awesome show and I was really glad to be involved in it.

It’s not long until I’ll be having my next operation and it’s difficult as I will only just start to be feeling back to my level of normal by the time I have to start the whole process again and it’d difficult knowing having another painful procedure which is in very recent memory but at least this time it will be easier as I know exactly what to expect and hopefully it will give me some more relief from my head pain. 🙂

  1. Joaquin Phoenix’s wife Rooney Mara blushed as he fixed her dress on the
    red carpet at Academy Museum Gala in LA on Saturday.

    For the star-studded affair located at the Academy Museum
    of Motion Pictures, Rooney, 39, joined her dashing husband Joaquin, 49.

    The couple – who ‘secretly wed’ recently
    – looked happier than ever as they posed for sweet snaps on the carpet.

    Rooney looked out of this world as she slipped into a floral
    sheer dress and flashed her underwear underneath.

    The glitzy gala had no shortage of A-list star power as they were also joined by the
    likes of supermodel Kendall Jenner as well as fan-favorite
    actress and newly minted billionaire Selena Gomez.

    Rooney and Joaquin shared a sweet red carpet
    moment

    Joaquin just confirmed Rooney (born Patricia) was his ‘wife’ during an episode
    of Sam Fragaso’s podcast Talk Easy, last month.

    Mara welcomed their second child in June, and she dressed her
    post-baby body gorgeous sheer gown.

    Phoenix (born Bottom) and the two-time Oscar nominee are also parents of four-year-old son River Mara Phoenix named after Joaquin’s big brother who
    died, age 23, from an overdose of morphine and cocaine on Halloween 1993.

    ‘I love it. I love it so much. I think it’s the best thing in the world,’ Rooney gushed
    of motherhood on the LaunchLeft Podcast last year.

    ‘It doesn’t feel like a two-actor house because I didn’t work for the
    first three and a half years we were together. 

    Basically since we’ve been together, I only worked one or two times and one was really
    small and short. It feels like a creative household,
    we’re constantly talking about creative things.’

    The Phoenixes originally met in 2012 playing lovers
    Theodore Twombly and Catherine Klausen on the LA set of Spike Jonze’s AI
    rom-com Her, but they didn’t start dating until after her 2016 split
    from her Discovery director Charlie McDowell.

    The acting couple went on to co-star in Garth Davis’ 2018 Biblical drama Mary
    Magdalene and Gus Van Sant’s 2018 comedy Don’t Worry, He Won’t
    Get Far on Foot.

    Rooney and Joaquin also co-narrated Chris Delforce’s 2018 vegan documentary Dominion as well as co-producing Alex Lockwood’s 2022 pandemic documentary The End of Medicine and Jonah Hill’s 2022 therapy documentary Stutz.

    Mara told Deadline in February that she and Phoenix (born Bottom) are still ‘all committed to’ co-starring in Pawel
    Pawlikowski’s upcoming film The Island but
    ‘it doesn’t look like that will happen this year.’

    But first, audiences can catch the New York native as waitress Julia in Alonso Ruizpalacios’ Times Square
    kitchen drama La Cocina, which hits limited US theaters October 25 and UK theaters December 26.

    Meanwhile, the Grammy winner scored a $20M paycheck to reprise
    his Oscar-winning role as psychopathic comedian Arthur Fleck/Joker in Todd Phillips’ $190M-budget sequel Joker:
    Folie à Deux, which hits US/UK theaters this Friday.

    Deadline projected the 138-minute demented jukebox musical to
    earn $140M worldwide opening weekend including $55M-$60M at 4K US theaters.

    It also features Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey.

    Thus far, Joker: Folie à Deux has a 60% critic approval rating (out of 58 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

    The 1981-set first film Joker made history in 2019 as the highest-grossing
    R-rated film of all time, amassing $1.079B at the global box office despite mixed reviews.

  2. Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he spoke with filmmaker Christopher Nolan about
    playing Joker which ultimately went to Heath Ledger.

    The 50-year-old actor – whose latest flick Joker: Folie À Deux could be streamed
    now – got candid about potentially playing the supervillain before he actually portrayed him.

    Joaquin recently appeared on Rick Rubin’s Tetragrammaton podcast as he revealed that
    he spoke to the 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Nolan about portraying Joker over a decade before.

    He said: That didn’t… wasn’t going to happen for a number of reasons.
    I wasn’t ready then.

    ‘That’s one of those things sometimes where you go: “Why am I not doing this project? What is stopping me from doing this? Well it’s not about me, there’s something else. There’s another person that’s going to do something that’s like, I can’t imagine what it would be if we didn’t have Heath Ledger‘s performance in that film.”‘

    playing Joker which ultimately went to Heath Ledger

    In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar for Todd Phillips directed Joker which was 11 years after Ledger (pictured) posthumously earned Best Supporting Actor for The Dark
    Knight in 2009

    Joker: Folie À Deux heading to streaming after box office flop

    In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar for Todd Phillips directed Joker
    which was 11 years after Ledger posthumously earned Best
    Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight in 2009.

    Joaquin continued: ‘I don’t know whether Christopher Nolan was coming to me saying, “You are definitely the person.” 

    ‘I can’t remember the context of how we met. But I know that we met,
    and my feeling was, “I shouldn’t do this.” But maybe he also was like, “You’re not the guy.” I couldn’t say.’

    Heath died in a New York City apartment on January 22, 2008,
    after accidentally overdosing following months of physical and
    mental exhaustion.

    The Dark Knight actor died aged 28 after taking a fatal cocktail of drugs, leaving behind his
    daughter, who was two years old at the time.

    Meanwhile Joker: Folie À Deux can now be streamed, just weeks after its theatrical
    release. 

    The movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, is now available
    to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some of Warner Bros.
    investment into the film, as per Variety.

    The musical, which bombed at the box office, is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication.

    Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the
    film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to
    the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break
    even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner
    Bros. sources claim the number is $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying
    ‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives” are
    grossly wrong and continues a trend where
    rumor is reported as fact.’

    ‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this
    week’s opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue
    throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’

    So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks of release.

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4
    million globally after three days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet
    ended up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box
    office. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film
    bombed at the box office on opening night. 

    The psychological musical thriller — which
    has been criticized as ‘bleak’ and ‘disappointing’ — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4.

    Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal

    Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which
    had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took
    on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).

    However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie.

    Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier
    this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32%.

    The sequel has been roundly criticized for being
    a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase – with an agent familiar with director
    Todd Phillips’ process telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing to do with
    DC’ during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn
    and Peter Safran notably absent from the film’s LA premiere afterparty last month. 

    A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes
    maybe $150 [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that
    guy was Joker.’

    In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.

    A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker
    sequel, while Phillips declined to comment to the publication.

    Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca,
    Chairperson of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and CEO Pamela
    Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to say no to Phillips due to
    his huge past successes.

    It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and
    Safran – who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.

    Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s cut screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter:
    ‘With all due respect to them, this is kind of a Warner Bros.
    movie.’

    Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April
    2022 and was ‘open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at a
    lower price point.’

    The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent
    less.

    A source directly involved with the film recently shared: ‘The one thing
    about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to
    what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail’; director Todd Phillips seen with Gaga and Phoenix at the LA premiere September
    30

    However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static.

    A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio
    ‘supported the decision to film in Los Angeles’.

    A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No one
    could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you
    don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.

    Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back –
    with a Warner spokesman saying the studio ‘fully
    supported the decision to bring the film to Venice. 

    Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had
    appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener,
    Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.

  10. US pop star Lady Gaga has taken on a track known best
    to Aussies as the opening theme to the iconic
    comedy series Kath & Kim.

    The song, originally written by Leslie Bricusse and
    Anthony Newley for the 1964 stage musical The Roar Of The Greasepaint – The Smell Of The Crowd, is performed by Gaga
    for her film Joker: Folie à Deux.

    To most Australians, it is the bold and brassy version sung
    by Gina Riley, who also plays Kimberly Diane ‘Kim’ Craig (née Day) in the legendary comedy.

    Before being immortalised in to the fabric of Australian pop culture, thanks to
    Gina’s  rendition, the song had been covered by the
    likes of Shirley Bassey in 1968 and Sammy Davis Jr in 1965.

    And now, the Born This Way hitmaker has taken a stab at the track
    – with the results markedly different to the brassy feel of the Kath & Kim version.

    Gaga’s take, which also features on her new album Harlequin, is a much
    more  stripped back that builds to a crescendo thanks to rocking guitars.

    Speaking to Today Extra about the track, Kath & Kim star Peter Rowsthorn joked that he was ‘constantly’ hounded by the US pop star
    regarding the track.

    ‘She’s constantly calling me, so I know she’s a big fan,’
    Pete, who play’s Kim’s on-again-off-again husband Brett in the series, said. 

    US pop star Lady Gaga has taken on a track known best to Aussies as
    the theme tune to the iconic comedy series Kath & Kim for her
    film Joker: Folie à Deux

    ‘I said to Gaga, “If you want to do it, it’s up to you. I’m the fifth banana in this thing”.’

    Peter went on to mention that he did have a favourite between the
    two renditions.

    ‘I believe the Gina Riley version, or the “Kim” version, is the better version.’ 

    The Today Show posted a short clip featuring the Gaga’s version over the
    Kath and Kim title sequence to Instagram and viewers were
    quick to issue their shock at the surprising cover version.

    While some were quick to point out Shirley Bassey’s famous
    version, one fan said the song would always belong to Kath and
    Kim.

    ‘Who cares about Shirley it’s iconic because it’s the Kath and Kim theme song,’ they
    wrote.

    ‘I cannot take Gaga seriously with this song hahahaha.’ 

    Another did not hold back in their criticism of the
    Poke Face singer with: ‘Totally sucks. Another flop of an album from
    Gaga. She’ll probably ruin joker sequel too.’

    Joaquin Phoenix encouraged Lady Gaga ‘to sing poorly’ in Joker sequel

    Kath & Kim, written and performed by Gina
    Riley and Jane Turner, ran on the ABC across three seasons from 2002 to 2005.

    The lauded sit-com which also starred Magda Szubanski,
    Glenn Robbins and Peter Rowsthorn went on to become one of Australia’s most beloved comedies.

    The hit comedy also boasted a litany of high-profile guest stars including Kylie Minogue, Little Britain’s Matt Lucas, Eric Bana,
    and cricket icon Shane Warne.

    Gaga, whose birth name is Stefani Germanotta, stars as Harley opposite Joaquin’s Joker in the psychological thriller musical.

    However, the musical has received mixed reviews from critics, while
    fans took to social media to claim that the songstress is at risk of losing her acting career.

  12. The Joker’s real identity was revealed in Folie à Deux’s ‘brutal ending’ – and it’s not who you think. 

    Identity confusion is the theme throughout the entire film,
    as the title suggests, but the ending of the second
    instalment may leave some fans surprised. 

    Following on from 2019’s psychological thriller from director Todd
    Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as clown Arthur Fleck who has descended into mental
    illness. 

    Folie à Deux begins with Arthur behind bars in Arkham Asylum,
    waiting to see whether he will be judged sane enough to
    stand trial for the murders he committed two years prior.   

    In the meantime he is enjoying his celebrity status
    with fellow prisoners and even the warders, one of whom,
    a sadistic Irishman played by Brendan Gleeson, feeds him cigarettes in return for jokes.

    Identity confusion is the theme throughout the entire film,
    as the title suggests, but the ending of the second instalment may
    leave some fans surprised

    Lady Gaga plays Harleen ‘Lee’ Quinzel, a fellow inmate on her way, fans believe, to becoming
    Joker’s girlfriend Harley Quinn. 

    The pair hit it off at a music therapy class, and are soon mutually smitten, but Lee makes it clear that she loves
    the dangerously charismatic Joker, ‘clown prince of crime’, not the gloomily introspective Arthur.

    Eventually, after Arthur’s high-profile TV appearance
    with a smug interviewer played by Steve Coogan, it is time for
    the trial, with all of Gotham gripped by the subject of multiple personality disorder. 

    His lawyer (Catherine Keener) strives to show that Joke
    is accused of five murders, rather than Arthur. Lee just as urgently wants
    him to identify as his demonic alter ego. 

    In the final scenes, Arthur renounces his Joker alter-ego and is found guilty of first-degree murder.

    As he is being sentenced a car bomb detonates outside the
    court, with two people helping Arthur escape, but he is later
    caught by the police and taken back to Arkham. 

    In the Asylum a young patient begins to tell Arthur a
    joke, before stabbing him in the stomach and while he bleeds to death, carves a smile
    into his own face. 

    It raises questions surrounding the Joker’s true identity, as it would seem he never went on to become the famed villain, instead he was just the person who inspired the
    man who eventually became him.

    Director Todd, told Entertainment Weekly: ‘When those guards kill that kid in the [hospital] he realises that dressing up in makeup, putting on this
    thing, it’s not changing anything. 

    ‘In some ways, he’s accepted the fact that he’s always been Arthur Fleck; he’s never been this thing that’s
    been put upon him, this idea that Gotham people put on him, that
    he represents. 

    ‘He’s an unwitting icon. This thing was placed on him, and
    he doesn’t want to live as a fake anymore — he wants to be who he is.’

    The movie serves as a follow-up to Phoenix’s 2019

  27. The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may soon occupy the White House is not named Kamala Harris.

    In her new No.1 New York Times best-selling memoir, Melania Trump shares a revealing look into her personal life and journey – from a childhood
    in small-town Slovenia, to globetrotting pursuits as a young model, to her courtship
    and marriage to one of the world’s most famous men.

    She also corrects the record, challenges
    her critics and clarifies her positions on a
    range of issues from abortion (she’s pro-choice) to
    the inclusion of biological men in women’s sports (female athletes must always be ‘protected and respected’).

    In fact, she sounds like many female voters grappling with the
    whiplash changes wrought by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s time in the White House.

    The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may soon occupy the White House is not named Kamala Harris.
    (Pictured: Kellyanne with Donald and Melania Trump at the White House
    in 2019).

    ‘The country is suffering,’ she writes. ‘We have wars around
    the world… The border is open and dangerous… a lot of fentanyl
    is coming over and killing our youth…. The economy is really not great, inflation is high.’

    I’ve known and worked alongside Melania for many years, and regard her as a
    friend.

    She has been unfairly maligned and the target of so much
    speculation and prevarication. That is why it has been so wonderful to see
    her own ‘October Surprise’, a memoir in her own words on her own timeline, showing
    the measured, magnanimous woman tens of millions
    of Americans adore.

    Earlier this year, Melania and I lost our mothers just weeks apart.
    Even as she navigated her loss in public view, Melania
    made every effort to be there for me. She and President Trump called,
    sent flowers, handwritten notes and checked in with me time
    and again.

    After my divorce was finalized last year, Melania showed up again, supporting me as any caring
    friend would and encouraging me to swing open soldered doors following a time of personal upheaval and transition.

    EXCLUSIVE

    KELLYANNE CONWAY: Don’s back! Here’s his new 2024 blueprint

    And it was the same story when we worked together in the White House.
    While Jill Biden has insisted on being called ‘Doctor’, Melania was admired and beloved by the political and permanent staffers alike, asking after their children by name,
    welcoming them to events big and small, and treating them with
    inclusivity and respect.

    Known as a protective and present mother, Melania now uses her memoir to call out
    the ‘sheer malice’ of unfunny comic Rosie O’Donnell who, in 2016, tweeted despicable and totally unfounded
    claims about Barron, then aged 10.

    It was just weeks after Trump had stunned
    the world and won, and the same liberal media and Hollywood types, who perpetuated every
    vicious attack against him, reveled as O’Donnell’s vile lie wormed its way across social media.

    It was a shock to see such naked cruelty towards a First Child,
    especially when so many of us had treated Chelsea Clinton and the Obama daughters like Fabergé eggs.
    Kids (including mine) should always be off limits.

    I’ve known and worked alongside Melania for many years, and regard
    her as a friend. (Pictured together in 2018 visiting Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
    Center).

    Earlier this year, Melania and I lost our mothers just weeks apart.
    Even as she navigated her loss in public view, Melania made every effort to be there for me.

    She and President Trump called, sent flowers,
    handwritten notes and checked in with me time and again. (Pictured:
    Together with Trump in the White House in 2019).

    But instead of going to war, Melania acted swiftly and tenderly to shield her son. She channeled
    maternal outrage into a first lady’s focus on initiatives centered around children’s wellness and cyberbullying
    awareness. Her ‘Be Best’ campaign remains a highlight of her
    time in office.

    Melania has never been one for preening and posturing.

    Other first ladies used their roles to land on the cover of
    fashion magazines, but she did so on her own,
    years before, as a successful model.

    Even when I’ve suggested she push back on myriad false claims made by the media or ungrateful former staffers who have returned her trust in them with
    self-serving lies and revisionist history, she has declined,
    knowing that her silence is always more powerful.

    Behind closed doors, Trump has, for decades, regarded his
    wife as a top confidante and counselor. Whether as an international business mogul,
    a TV star or, lately, leader of the free world, it is Melania’s opinion that he has
    consistently sought.

    Trump enjoys the company of plenty of friends, taking a range of advice, but he speaks of – and
    to – Melania in an entirely unique way. Really, he fears yet reveres her.
    He respects her independence, seeks her input, trusts
    her keen eye, sharp ear and sense of people.

    I have witnessed their relationship up close, and it is one
    fundamentally built on mutual love and respect. Recently, as Barron was heading off
    for college and Melania was preparing to publish her memoir,
    I jokingly asked Trump how it might feel to be the second most popular man and the
    second most prominent author in the household. He chuckled and relented.

    Melania Trump has plenty to say and nothing to prove.
    She is not a typical political spouse rushing to the cameras
    on matters that are best handled privately,
    or loudly offering insights or slights about her husband’s political
    opponents à la Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

    She is an asset, a partner, an equal who is neither trying to control – looking at you, Jill Biden – nor controlled by her partner.
    She is what many feminists insist they are: independent, a product of her own choices, comfortable in her own skin.

    She has been by Trump’s side the entire time. Though never
    in his shadow. In fact, from that very first moment they descended the golden escalator, she’s been leading the way.

  34. The Joker’s real identity was revealed in Folie à Deux’s ‘brutal
    ending’ – and it’s not who you think. 

    Identity confusion is the theme throughout the entire film,
    as the title suggests, but the ending of the second instalment may leave some fans surprised. 

    Following on from 2019’s psychological thriller from director Todd Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as clown Arthur Fleck who has descended into mental
    illness. 

    Folie à Deux begins with Arthur behind bars in Arkham Asylum, waiting
    to see whether he will be judged sane enough to stand trial for the murders
    he committed two years prior.   

    In the meantime he is enjoying his celebrity status with fellow prisoners
    and even the warders, one of whom, a sadistic Irishman played by Brendan Gleeson, feeds him cigarettes
    in return for jokes.

    think

    Identity confusion is the theme throughout the entire film, as the title suggests, but
    the ending of the second instalment may leave some
    fans surprised

    Lady Gaga plays Harleen ‘Lee’ Quinzel, a fellow inmate on her way,
    fans believe, to becoming Joker’s girlfriend Harley Quinn. 

    The pair hit it off at a music therapy class, and are soon mutually smitten, but Lee makes it clear that she
    loves the dangerously charismatic Joker, ‘clown prince of crime’, not the gloomily introspective Arthur.

    Eventually, after Arthur’s high-profile TV appearance with a smug interviewer played by Steve Coogan,
    it is time for the trial, with all of Gotham gripped by the subject of multiple personality disorder. 

    His lawyer (Catherine Keener) strives to show that Joke is accused of five murders, rather than Arthur. Lee
    just as urgently wants him to identify as his demonic alter ego. 

    In the final scenes, Arthur renounces his Joker alter-ego and is found guilty of first-degree
    murder.

    As he is being sentenced a car bomb detonates outside the court,
    with two people helping Arthur escape, but he is later caught by the police and taken back to Arkham. 

    In the Asylum a young patient begins to tell Arthur a
    joke, before stabbing him in the stomach and while he bleeds to death, carves a smile into his own face. 

    It raises questions surrounding the Joker’s true identity, as
    it would seem he never went on to become the famed villain, instead he was just the person who inspired the man who eventually became him.

    Director Todd, told Entertainment Weekly: ‘When those guards kill that kid in the [hospital]
    he realises that dressing up in makeup, putting on this thing, it’s not changing anything. 

    ‘In some ways, he’s accepted the fact that he’s always been Arthur Fleck; he’s never been this thing that’s been put upon him,
    this idea that Gotham people put on him, that he represents. 

    ‘He’s an unwitting icon. This thing was placed on him, and he doesn’t want to
    live as a fake anymore — he wants to be who he is.’

    The movie serves as a follow-up to Phoenix’s 2019 box office hit, which was simply titled Joker. 

    The Todd Phillips-directed musical was released in theatres on October
    4, following an October 2 international release.

    Following her panned performance in the flop
    movie Joker: Folie à Deux, the New York City native, 38, is
    releasing a single titled Disease, set to be

    Diesase, the first of songs from her forthcoming seventh album,

    she captioned the image: ‘DISEASE 10.25.’

    In a teaser clip from the viewpoint of an approaching vehicle, the actress-singer,
    whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, sported a black mane as she ran from it.

    Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics

    The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Just Dance and Poker Face, is
    headed back to her pop persona following the September release of her album Harlequin, which was
    inspired by Joker: Folie à Deux.

    Among the tracks on the album included two new songs,
    and standards such as That’s Entertainment, That’s Life and Get Happy.

    Like the film, it was not an initial commercial success,
    marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the Billboard
    200 charts at number 20.

    Lady Gaga in the movie played the role of Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who earned the Best Actor Oscar for his performance
    in the franchise’s 2019 film Joker.

    According to the outlet, Joker: Folie à Deux ‘could potentially lose $150
    to $200 million’ despite studio insiders saying it would break even.

    The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide, with $56.6 million in domestic box office revenue,
    according to Box Office Mojo.

    Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix opposite the pop staple, underwhelmed with critics and in box office revenues 

    Some fans have said that despite the film’s initial failure financially and with critics,
    it will be looked upon favorably years from now.

    Lady Gaga has had some commercial success in recent months with
    her pairing with Bruno Mars on Die With a Smile, which was released in August,
    landing in the third spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.

    In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica, which initially landed in the top spot upon its debut and included the hit single Rain on Me, a collaboration with Ariana
    Grande.
