Cole Sprouse On How He Dealt with Pain

I don't wear victimhood on my shoulder. I don't like to act like I am my wounds and repeatedly be reminded of my wounds. What happened in my youth carved me and forged me into the person I am today for better—purely better. We trade trauma for wisdom. When we go through heavy experiences, it deepens our eyes."

Grace Van Dien, The Dark Side of Hollywood

How many actors and actresses actually do sacrifice their morals and ethics? How many have to sell their soul in exchange for fame and money, but the fine print comes at a cost? Maybe those "has-beens" or the "one-hit-wonders" did read the fine print, and they walked away proudly, knowing that they would never sacrifice their honor, pride, and morals over money and fame. On the latter, of course, I am speculating. But the more these stories come out, you never know. 

Puss In Boots: The Last Wish Is So Cute & Thought-Provoking

The whole point of the film is to be grateful for what you already have at your mercy, to be selfless and kind-hearted, and most of all, that one life is enough to be enriching.

Let People Evolve: Hailey Bieber vs Selena Gomez

The Bible doesn't condemn working women or state that "women only belong in the kitchen or at home." It certainly doesn't say that women are only this one thing or the other. They can be productive at home, out of the house, or both. The Proverbs 31 Woman is wise, nurturing, caring, loving, and strong, and "she suffers nothing from laziness."

A Prophet Without Honor (5 min. Rd)

Have you ever heard of the phrase: "Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.'"

Chris Rock vs. Will Smith (4 min. rd.)

I am a Will Smith fan. When I say that, I don't mean those crazy fans standing in the rain waiting for an autograph. I've never been such a dedicated fan of anyone. However, I do like Will Smith. I grew up watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and then the Men In Black movies came along. As we … Continue reading Chris Rock vs. Will Smith (4 min. rd.) →

“The CarpetBagger”

You were a brother to me. But you treat me like number two. You rage to hear the truth. So I soothe you with dumb words. You pat yourself on the back, To you, I'm a second-class citizen. You've got your crown and gown-- Surrounded by "royal" drunks. Invading your castle and stuff. But I'm the "carpetbagger."
