Recently, Income Tax Department conducted raids at the offices and homes of Taapsee Pannu, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap, and many other shareholders of Phantom Films. It also covered the group CEO of Reliance Entertainment, Shibhasish Sarkar, few talent management companies KWAN and Exceed, and some of the executives of celebrity. The raid was carried out across 28 locations in Pune and Mumbai and was part of a tax evasion probe against Phantom Films.
Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap are regular critics of the government and its policies. They have lent their voice to several causes including the ongoing farmer protest.
Taapsee Pannu’s boyfriend Mathias Boe, a former badminton player, after the raids conducted at Taapsee’s property, tweeted to Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister asking for his help. Mathias tweeted that the raid is putting stress on not only Taapsee but her family too. He tweeted,
“Finding myself in a bit of turmoil. Representing for the first time as a coach for some great athletes, meanwhile IT department is raiding Taapsee’s houses back home, putting unnecessary stress on her family, especially her parents. @KirenRijiju please do something.”
Finding myself in a bit of turmoil. Representing 🇮🇳 for the first time as a coach for some great athletes, meanwhile I-T department is raiding Taapsee’s houses back home, putting unnecessary stress on her family, especially her parents. 🤷♂️. @KirenRijiju please do something👍🏼.
Mathias Boe is from Denmark. He is a former badminton player and has now taken up the role of India’s badminton coach. In 2012 and 2017, Mathias is a two-time European champion and also received a silver in 2021 at Summer Olympics.
The Sports Minister responded a day later to Mathias’s tweet and wrote,
“Law of the land is supreme and we must abide by that. The subject matter is beyond your and my domain. We must stick to our professional duties in the best interest of Indian Sports.”

The raids were conducted in connection with the distribution and production company Phantom Films helmed by Anurag Kashyap, producer Madhu Mantena and Vikas Bahl, and director Vikramaditya Motwane. In 2011, the company was founded by the Quartet before it was dissolved in October 2018.
Social media is a place where fame and trolling go hand in hand. This sad and harsh reality of social media has come to light once again. And, the recent victim of this harsh reality is filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap. The star kid is very active on the microblogging site and also savors a huge fan following. Recently, she posted a video on her Youtube channel and disclosed about receiving rape and death threats for posting a picture of herself in lingerie.
Aaliyah shared in the video that netizens slut-shamed her and also dropped awful comments on her post, which badly affected her. She said, “People were telling me that I should be ashamed of being Indian and posting stuff like that. People were sending me rape threats, calling me a p***titute, sending me death threats. That whole incident of the picture got me a lot. I was crying constantly. I was very upset.”
Further, Aaliyah added that later she realized that she shouldn’t be getting affected by these disgusting trolls. These people have nothing better to do and are hiding behind their phones like cowards. While talking about how she dealt with the kind of hatred she received on social media, Aaliyah said, “I honestly just block everyone. If there is anything even remotely negative on any of my social media, I just block them because I want my social media to be a positive place.”
Aaliyah, a 20-year-old also shared a note stating that she received rape and death threats, and how it challenged her mental health. She said that these past few weeks have been crucial to her mental health and she has never been more afraid as she was.
The note said, “The past few weeks have been really hard on my mental health. Ever since I posted a photo of me in lingerie, I have been getting the most vile, degrading, and disgusting comments. I have never felt more frightened than I have in the past few weeks to the point where I considered deleting my Instagram. I have tried to ignore the harassment and shrug it off but the truth is that we need to speak about it because these kinds of comments contribute to the rape culture that affects all women in India (and the rest of the world) in one way or the other.”
Her statement is what every single woman in the world, goes through for being herself on social media. Aaliyah even shared that this excessive sexualization in society has in the past led up to her being sexually assaulted by a middle-aged man as a minor. Now, it is high time we start calling out the people on social media for their toxic behavior. More power to you, Aaliyah!
Crude oil is between $60 and $61 per barrel in the global market, and petrol prices are touching new highs here in India, retailing at Rs 97.34 in Mumbai and Rs 90.93 in Delhi. In India, Petrol rates are revised on a daily basis to make sure that even a variation of a single minute in global oil prices can be transmitted to fuel dealers and users.
Petrol prices never seem to go down in the UK as well. Therefore, it is commonplace in which we have become habitual to paying a considerable amount for our petrol. But have you ever thought about how much you would pay for petrol and diesel in other countries around the world?
Using the data of Global Petrol Prices, we’ve compared that how much it will cost to fill the car to empty it in another country. This includes ‘The Top 10 Cheapest Petrol Countries’, along with some selective countries to compare it on a larger scale, along with ‘European Petrol Prices’ too. Some results are properly unexpected, so let’s take a look at what we found…
Venezuela is the cheapest price with just $0.02 per liter that is followed by Iran ($0.06). Among the top ten cheapest countries, five are located in Asia, four in Africa, and one in South America. And, Hong Kong has the most expensive price of $2.40 that is followed by Central African Rep. and the Netherlands.
The reason behind this is that it’s home to some of the biggest oil reserves in the world. But also, it’s a country where income is very low too. You will also observe that Middle Eastern countries that are oil-rich are amongst the cheapest places in the world to buy petrol.
The USA and Qatar are among the top 10 richest economies. However, they have a low gasoline price which is below $1. Even developed countries like Canada and Australia also have a price close to $1. Prices of petrol are high in European nations. Only five countries have less than one dollar price rate. Azerbaijan has the lowest rate in Europe. 42 out of 47 European countries have a price rate of above $1. This figure is 13 out of 38 in Asia, 20 out of 42 in Africa, 13 out of 23 in North America, 2 out of 12 in South America, and 3 out of 4 in Oceania.
The cost of crude oil is the largest component of gasoline or petrol of the retail price. An oil barrel is defined as 42 U.S. gallons in the worldwide oil industry, which is about 159 liters. This calculates the price of crude oil to $0.38-$0.39 per liter. Cost of refining, taxes, and subsidies, and transporting, commission, etc., all are included in retail price.
The average price of gasoline is 1.08 USD per liter around the world. As a general rule, richer countries have higher prices in comparison to poorer countries. Also, the countries that produce and export oil have remarkably lower prices. The differences in prices around the countries are mainly because of the various taxes and subsidies for gasoline. All countries of international markets have access to the same petroleum prices but then decide to impose different taxes.
The word ‘weird’ doesn’t begin to cover when it comes to Indian television nowadays. Weird is I who still have to take my father’s permission for a night out to a friend’s place. Weird is people watching these shows and still liking them. The stuff on Indian television is something else altogether. So, here is the list of the 12 most bizarre scenes from Indian TV shows that make us wonder what writers were thinking before that. Let’s check it out:
Rahul is turning into a tiger on his honeymoon in this show. Because apparently, he is a shape-shifting tiger who turns into an animal on certain nights of the year.
Simar turned into a Makkhi in the show. After topping Game of Thrones, the makers unapologetically take a note from the Telugu film Eega, which was a remake of Makkhi in Hindi. As far as Sasural Simar Ka is concerned, any inspiration is a game. We won’t be surprised if they try to transform people in elements of Terminator or James Cameron’s Avatar next.
Once again, it’s the Naagin show. This show never fails to shock us. I am assuming that this happened in the middle of the highway in Mumbai. I suppose that this ends Delhi vs Mumbai debate.
The internet has become accessible in the last few years to a lot of people in the country. It enables people to voice their opinions easily and also learn about those things they otherwise would have no idea. However, Indians on the internet are not such a great thing. As we all know, we are a bizarre bunch of people. Let’s check out some of the cases:
Probably, we should all just log off from the internet for a few days and get some education in being civilized before exposing ourselves to society. And by exposing, it doesn’t mean questionable pictures.

Whether it’s Youtubers like Ashish Chanchlani, Prajakta Kohli, or famous motivational gurus like Sandeep Maheshwari, the internet has provided us with so many celebrities in the last few years. There are a lot of people who went viral and established a trend on social media within days. Among them, there’s a video trending all over social media called “Pawri Ho Rahi Hai.” Many producers, as well as brands, are aware of this trend and the popularity of this video. However, among online viewers, there is an interest in learning about the girl behind this video.
Dananeer Mobeen is a social media influencer and a content creator from Pakistan who became an internet sensation after her “Pawri” video went viral. She reached about 245K followers within a week on Instagram after her viral ‘pawri’ video.
She is a 19-year-old Pakistani content developer and influencer with a large social media following based in Islamabad. With over 435 K followers now, she frequently produces content on a variety of subjects such as the latest make-up and fashion trends. She also talks about mental health issues.
We also came to know that she enjoys traveling, cooking, and, of course, makeup while going through her Instagram profile. She does not just like to cook but to blog about food as well. Dananeer is a girl of many talents. She really likes to sing and paint and loves dogs as well. She is single and unmarried as of now.
The popular video shared by Dananeer was to troll the rich people when they visit northern areas of Pakistan also known as “burgers”. The video showed her partying with her friends in the middle of a hilly road and that was captioned as “No one: When borgors visit northern areas: yeh hamari pawri horai haai. This is the gold content you guys signed up for. 10/10 meme material”.
After her video became viral, she became the talk of the town. From fans to celebrities, each of them is recreating her video in their own style. However, the funniest recreation was done by Indian content creator and music composer Yashraj Mukhate (Rasode me kaun tha fame) is famous for transforming viral video, TV serial clips, and short films into funny songs by adding music.
He made “Pawri hori hai” so catchy that even Dananeer was overwhelmed with the amazing response on her video. On her Instagram video story, she thanked everyone and said “Very overwhelmed right now, it’s crazy. I am so happy that you are enjoying this video so so much. I think at this point the only thing that matters to me is that everyone is enjoying this thing and I’m having fun looking at you guys enjoying this trend and this song, its recreations.” She further added, “I am lost for words but overwhelmed and super excited and grateful and humble.”
Her ‘pawri’ memes have not only stormed Pakistani social media but Bollywood as well. To this, she said, “that said that after 70 years of rivalry a young girl from Pakistan has rekindled a wave of positivity and dialogue between the two nations (India and Pakistan) and has created a beautiful trend. That really put it in perspective for me and that was huge for me. I was shook.”
Dananeer Mobeen is Internet’s favorite girl now. Her viral video has over 6 million views on her Instagram handle and she’s been on various television channels now.
The film industry is an amazing place that turns people into superstars based on their work. They receive massive fame and attention. However, it sometimes backfires and they land from where they have started or even worse if things go wrong. There are some actors in the industry who are not able to achieve their statuses like Shah Rukh Khan or Amitabh Bachchan. They have failed terribly in their career after gaining fame and winning over their audiences. However, they have now disappeared and live a despairing life that probably they wouldn’t have expected.
Here is the list of 10 Bollywood celebrities who lost their fame and went from riches to rags. Let’s check it out:
Intoxication does take everyone and everything away from you. O.P. Nayyar is one of the best examples of this. Because of his addiction to liquor, he abandoned his family relations. He provided some really good tunes to the music industry. However, he needed alcohol and cash in exchange for interviews that people approached for. Before his death, he had to face some of the worst days.
This woman was abandoned by her kids, and this brought her to a miserable death. Once, she was a huge sensation and was known as Zohrajabeen of Balraj Sahni. She was admitted to a hospital and then struggled in Pune at the end of her life. However, the sad part is that no one from her family was there during her last breath.
Parveen Babi was a bold and beautiful actress who took the industry by a storm. Surprisingly, on January 22, 2005, she was found dead in her flat in Mumbai. Before that, she had ceased all of her connections from the industry. Ultimately Mahesh Bhatt came forward to claim the body when nobody else came for more than 2 days. He took all the responsibility to perform the last rites to give her soul the peace it deserved.
Meena Kumari took just one bad decision and that caused her death. She was popularly known as “The Tragedy Queen” in the Indian Film Industry. However, the ironic part is she really had to go through a tragic end. Marrying Kamal Amrohi turned out to be the worst decision because after that she got dependent too much on liquor and then she died.
Raj Kiran was found in an unstable state in 2010 in the psychological facility in Atlanta. People had assumed that he was dead and hence, disappeared from the industry. But Rishi Kapoor became worried and looked for him and finally found him.
Mithali Sharma was a very popular Bhojpuri actress who has seen the brightest days in her career. However, she was found begging recently in the streets of Mumbai. She was even found by two female police officers while trying to commit a theft. To escape from that she had to hit them. She is into severe depression after she stopped receiving movie offers.
Bhagwan Dada was the man who owned a number of expensive things in his time but eventually died in a filthy slum in Mumbai. That slum was the place of common laborers. He lost everything after his movies like Labela and Jhamela had flopped. He eventually came to the streets.
In the industry, he gave the best portrayal of serious roles. His extravagant habits and affair with Meena Kumari took everything from him. Eventually, he stopped getting offers. Later, he used to work as a gatekeeper in a film studio. Finally, he died in his rented flat.
Geetanjali Nagpal was a famous model and designer’s first choice for the ramp walk. But she lost everything because of addiction to drugs and other medications. On the streets of South Delhi, she started begging and also work as a maid to fulfill her requirements.
Jagdish Mali is the father of Antara mali and an amazing photographer in the industry. He was seen begging on the streets of Mumbai. Salman Khan was the one who helped him. Because of his miserable condition, he had to sell his photo studio.
While growing up as 90’s kids, we didn’t have many choices. Except to watch everything that came on Television. And it was nothing like these dumb cartoons nowadays that they are forced to endure. There was some amazing stuff to watch. Here is the list of some animated TV shows that prove that the ’90s were the golden age of cartoons. Let’s check it out:
Technically the show stopped airing in 1990. But in the early 2000s, Indian kids got to enjoy it and it was damn good and hilarious. Well, I hope you all remember the iconic theme song of the show.

Jack was an unnamed Samurai who was sent to the dystopian future after defeating the ultimate evil Aku which was ruled by the shape-shifting demons. Each episode was so engrossing that it made you glued to the edge of your seat.
This is the best adaptation of the Batman show. The show revolves around the Dark Knight of the comics with some relatable characters and villains. This show dealt with some very powerful sentiments.
Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles were cute little girls who could be fierce warriors when the situation comes. Earlier, this might be the first and only show that started teaching us about feminism.
Johnny Bravo was a boorish, muscular young man who tried hard to get women to dating him but failed miserably and often. This might be the first show of adult humor with pop culture references.
Agents Chance ‘T-Bone’ and Jake ‘Razor’ Clawson patrol Megakat City as the SWAT Kats after being discharged from the Enforcers, defending it against all its threats. Their enemies include the robotic gangsters the Metallikats, the evil genius Doctor Viper, the undead sorcerer Pastmaster, and Dark Kat.
This series focuses on 6 elementary school students and their interactions with the teachers and other kids during recess at the schoolyard. The students would form their own society during this time and complete it with class structure and governments. The show was way ahead of its time.
The show revolves around a group of babies named, Angelica, Lil, Phil, Chukie, Tommy, and their day-to-day lives. They share their common life experiences and see it through from the point of all the babies. It is an award-winning show.
This show was so popular that even those kids who were born after the 90s have also watched it at some point. Dexter was a genius but Dee Dee was hard to handle.
The Warner siblings lived in Burbank, California among the other characters. The episodes of this show were always in different places and periods of time. It also had pop culture icons and mythological characters to get you glued.
This was a horror-comedy series that featured Courage who was a pink anthropomorphic dog living with an elderly couple. In each episode, the trio would experience a series of bizarre misadventures which involve the supernatural.
This show actually gave us what the X-men were supposed to be, unlike the X-Men movie franchise. They were diverse and colorful in every way possible. This show was jam-packed with superhero activities.
This show was based on the adventures of bush pilot Baloo the bear. His air cargo freight business, ‘Baloo’s Air Service’, was poached upon his default on delinquent bills with the bank. This show took many famous Disney characters and gave them a universe of their own.
Arnold is a fourth-grader in a boarding house who lived with his grandparents. The show focuses on the experiences he gets along the way while finding his feet in a big city by solving the problems he and his friends encounter.
Social Media is a boon and a curse itself. But, when it is not enabling the nazism governments, social media is quite wonderful. Social media has given us so many things over the last few years to cherish or to stifle. But one this is common that it always gives is the mindless fights on the internet.

NBC’s hit sitcom and one of the most favorite shows FRIENDS was first aired in 1994, starring Matthew Perry as Chandler, Courteney Cox as Monica, Jennifer Aniston as Rachel, David Schwimmer as Ross, Matt LeBlanc as Joey, and Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe. It has been over one and a half-decade since the show ended, yet the fans of the show keep on increasing.
However, it turns out there are a lot of secrets about the show which fans didn’t know about. From Courtney Cox being offered the part of Rachel to Ellen DeGeneres turning down the role of Phoebe, there are many more secrets to unfold. So, here is the list of 7 shocking secrets revealed about the TV show FRIENDS. Let’s check it out:
Creators put that idea in the box where Rachel moving in with the unfortunate Gunther. In an interview with Metro, James Michael Tyler aka Gunther said, “They were going to have Rachel move in with Gunther. I remember reading the first draft of that script and thinking, ‘Oh man, they’re never going to make this work.” He further added, “It just didn’t read, even to me. I was not ungrateful that it didn’t work. Through no fault of Jennifer or myself or the writing, it just felt contrived…”
It felt like Jennifer was also not a fan of that storyline. James said, “I remember looking at Jen too and we didn’t think it was right. Whatever it was for, we didn’t need that story-line.” According to James, everything else happened organically. He said, “And everything else that happened in the series… was quite organic. Nothing was contrived – let’s put these two people together for no reason. Everything happened naturally and I think it’s for that reason it’s still loved to this day.”
The original title of the show wasn’t FRIENDS. However, it is now considered the most iconic title. Before settling on the title “F.R.I.E.N.D.S”, the producers were also considering another name for the show. Some of them were, “Six of One”, “Friends Like Us”, “Across the hall”, “Once upon a time in the west village” and “Insomnia Café”. Luckily the producers stopped at FRIENDS.
From start to finish, Jennifer played Rachel Green in the series. She became one of the most popular characters among the rest of the gang in the series. But what fans don’t know is that she nearly walked away from it all.
Before Jennifer landed the role in FRIENDS, she had filmed six episodes of the CBS sitcom “Muddling Through”. She knew that “Muddling Through” becomes a success, she would have to leave FRIENDS. However, the station released TV movies at the exact same time the CBS show aired, due to which “Muddling Through”‘s ratings fell and the show was let go. And, Jennifer continued on as Rachel.
The One Where Monica And Joey Became The Couple Goals
The moment Monica and Chandler peeked their heads out of the duvet during “The One With Ross’s Wedding”, we were all shipped. However, it turns out Joey and Monica were supposed to be the main couple.
In an interview with NBC, co-creator Marta Kauffman said, “Initially we thought the big love interest was Joey-Monica. This is before we wrote the script when we were just pitching the series.”
As the father of Ross’s girlfriend Elizabeth, Bruce Willis makes a guest appearance on the show. We came to know that he lost a bet with Chandler actor Matthew Perry. And as a result, he appeared on the show as a guest.
As per CBR.com, Bruce and Matthew agreed that Willis would appear on FRIENDS for free if the “Die Hard” film opened at no. 1. In an interview with Wired Bruce said, “I was on FRIENDS because I lost a bet to Matthew Perry.”
Courteney Cox aka Monica was supposed to play Rachel in the show. She was originally brought in to audition for the role of Rachel, but she thought she would be more appropriate for Monica. Today, Courteney Cox is fondly remembered as Monica and Jennifer Aniston is associated with her on-screen name, Rachel.
During an interview on the “Today” show, Courteney said, “For some reason, I thought I related more to Monica, which maybe it’s because I do…” She further added, “I’m very similar to her… I’m not as clean as Monica, but I am neat.” Later, the role of Rachel went to Jennifer Aniston who became a fans favorite.
The one where Ellen DeGeneres nearly played Phoebe
Reportedly, the role of Phoebe Buffay was offered to Ellen DeGeneres from the famous “The Ellen Show”. According to Refinery, she turned down the role. Phoebe was originally supposed to be goth as per the revelation of the publication. However, Lisa Kudrow appeared in the show later as Phoebe Buffay.
So, how many of these you actually knew? Please let us know in the comment section. Also, if we missed some fact, do let us know.
It’s been more than one and a half-decade since our favorite show FRIENDS ended. It is known as one of the best sitcoms of all time, simply because it is heartwarming, hilarious, and relatable. The show follows the lives of six different characters and their relationships with each other and others. FRIENDS has made a huge place in the hearts of millions worldwide.
The show definitely had its fair share of memorable episodes that fans quote, relate to, and make memes out of it. However, with ten years’ worth of episodes, some amazing moments from the show just fly under the radar. While everyone remembers when Rachel enters the Central Perk for the first time or when Monica proposes to Chandler, but there are some moments that fans may have forgotten.
So, we have collected some episodes of FRIENDS which are quite underrated. Scroll down to check it out:
“The One Where Rosita Dies” (Season 7, Episode 13)
In this episode, Monica mourns the loss of her childhood treasures and Joey mourns the loss of his beloved chair, Rosita. But, the storyline that stands out most is how far Phoebe went to save the life of Earl, who was about to end his life.
Phoebe’s first call is to Earl when she started working as a telemarketer and ends up helping him in real. It showed us the caring nature of Phoebe and the extent to which she would go to save someone. It was fate that Phoebe was the one who called Earl instead of some other guy who would not care enough.
FRIENDS deserves credit to put forward these much-neglected facts in front of the world. Though comic in nature, it strikes a really important point in this episode.
“The One With All The Candy” (Season 7, Episode 9)
In this episode, Monica makes candy for the neighbors. It becomes hit enough to stress out Monica after the neighbors became too greedy. Also, Rachel hands in the wrong evaluation of Tag, and they had to deal with it in this episode. However, the highlight of this episode is when Ross gifts Phoebe a beautiful pink bike.
Throughout the series, it is evident that Phoebe didn’t have a normal childhood. While growing up, she never owned a bike and could not even learn how to ride one. And Ross had this sweetest gesture by gifting her a bike. He even took out time to teach her how to ride it. Ross’s act was so meaningful and made Phoebe feel so special too.
“The One Where Rachel Quits” (Season 3, Episode 10)
Joey and Chandler convince Rachel to quit her job as a waitress at the Central Perk and pursue her dream career in fashion. However, when she had no leads afterward, she panicked. But later, she finally did find a job at the Fortunata Fashions. Unfortunately, even at the new office, she had to make coffee again. However, this career shift changed Rachel’s life greatly and eventually landed her into jobs with Bloomingdale’s and Ralph Lauren.
It was a path-breaking moment for Rachel and very relatable for audiences as well. This episode speaks a lot about not giving up on your professional carrier. It also shows us that you need to be bold enough to take risks and only then you have the chance to succeed.
Also, in this episode, Ross helps a little girl by selling as many cookies as he can, when he accidentally injures her, so she can win a trip to Space Camp.
The night before Chandler moves in and Rachel moves out, Rachel still hasn’t packed. Ultimately, Phoebe and Monica end up helping her. To ease Monica and Rachel’s sadness, Phoebe causes a fight between them. Later on, she realizes her mistake and gets Rachel and Monica to make up. This was the end of an era in Monica and Rachel’s relationship, while it took Chandler & Monica to the next level.
In this episode, Phoebe helps Chandler to pick out the perfect engagement ring for Monica. While waiting for Chandler to pay, Phoebe started exploring a bunch of other jewelry. In the meanwhile, someone else buys the ring. Phoebe runs after him but gets stuck in a jail laid for the shop’s security. All these and the way she demands to let her out by pointing out the musket was all funny. But besides all these, it was a meaningful episode because Chandler, who was a commitment-phobe, was going to commit to Monica.
“The One With George Stephanopoulos” (Season 1, Episode 4)
In this episode, Rachel’s panic is one of the most relatable things in the whole series. She was shattered after getting her first paycheck and also by the fact that her old friends are hitting higher milestones in their lives. She returns to the apartment and brings down Monica and Phoebe’s mood for a depressing Slumber party. However, their mood changes when they realize that they received George Stephanopoulos’s pizza instead of their own.
“The One With All The Rugby” (Season 4, Episode 15)
For each of the main characters, this episode had great storylines. Ross participates in a game of rugby to prove to Emily how tough he is. It turns out to be a brutal one. Fortunately, Emily’s knowledge of the players’ setbacks was helpful.
Meanwhile, Monica becomes obsessed with a switch in Chandler & Joey’s apartment and takes extreme measures to find it out where it’s connected to. Also, Chandler’s plan to get rid of Janice with his “transferred to Yemen” was fantastic to watch. But poor Chandler had to go to Yemen!
“The One Where Joey Loses His Insurance” (Season 6, Episode 4)
In this episode, there are many funny storylines. Ross gets the opportunity to be a guest lecturer. But, his nervousness causes him to use an unrealistic British accent. When Rachel and Monica attend one of his lectures, they make fun of him and later use that to prank call on him. Meanwhile, Joey lost his insurance at a time when he developed a hernia.
Joey works through the pain so that he can earn enough to get the hernia fixed, but to make it through the “dying man” role was quite a task. Because the kid won’t cry on the cue. Between Ross’s fake accent and Joey’s unfortunate circumstance, Rachel barged in the middle of Ross’s lecture, when she finds out she’s still married to Ross. What an episode!
“The One Where They All Turn Thirty” (Season 7, Episode 14)
Turning thirty is a milestone. As shown through flashbacks, none of the friends handled their milestones quite well. In this episode, Rachel is the one turning thirty. Based on what she wants in life, she concludes that she should already be with the guy she wants to marry. That is why she ends things with Tag. This episode proves that she has grown as a person and moving ahead will take the right decisions. So did that happen? Well, I leave it for you to answer!
“The One With All The Wedding Dresses” (Season 4, Episode 20)
In this episode, Rachel struggles with the fact that Ross is going to marry Emily. That is why she pushes her new boyfriend, Joshua to marry her but instead, she scared him off. In the meantime, Monica and Phoebe were having fun while pretending to be brides. Later, they invite Rachel to join them, which actually makes her feel better. Three girls in wedding dresses are surely relatable, ask the girls!
One Tennessee businessman went above and beyond to make sure that his beloved dog would be taken care of after his death. For a Tennessee canine, it won’t be a dog’s life whose owner recently died. A watchdog who can now afford to hire her own security staff and fulfill all her needs.
According to a report of WTVF-TV, an 8-year-old border collie, Lulu will be living the good life after inheriting $5 million from her owner who died late last year in Nashville.
Lulu’s caretaker, Martha Burton told that Bill Dorris, Lulu’s owner was a successful businessman. Dorris left the dog with Burton because he was always on the road. Dorris was not married and died late last year. In an interview with WTVF-TV, 88 years old Burton said, “Yes, she’s (dog) a good girl. Oh yes, (Dorris) loved that dog.” He also confirmed that according to Dorris’s will, the funds will be transferred to the trust. He said, “will be transferred to a trust to be formed upon my death for the care of my border collie, Lulu.”
Burton told the television station, “I don’t really know what to think about it, to tell you the truth. He just really loved the dog.” The will dictated that the money should be put into a trust for Lulu’s care. It also allows Burton to be reimbursed for monthly expenses in the care of Lulu. Burton says that she doesn’t know if she could spend $5 million on Lulu ever. She said with a smile, “Well, I’d like to try.”
Currently, the estate is in probate. Reportedly, a conservator will handle the trust for Lulu who will approve and reimburse Burton for expenses to take care of Lulu.
As per the reports of WZTV, Dorris was the owner of the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest which is a controversial statue. The television station reported that the statue sits on a property that is owned by Dorris which overlooked Interstate 65. In 2017, pink paint was thrown on it and has been vandalized numerous times over the years.
Also, Dorris had plenty of investments in real estate in the Nashville area. That is why his actual worth has not yet been determined. However, as a news outlet reported, the destiny of the statue and the rest of the estate might be determined in probate court.

In FRIENDS, Phoebe was the most off-center one in the group. She was the hippy and the musician who would deny science and can cleanse her friend’s auras. However, like everyone, Phoebe went through some major changes throughout the years in this classic sitcom. She changed from being a single woman who “didn’t even have a pl….” to a successful, married, and settled woman in the end.
Obviously, that doesn’t mean she would be happy with every change she went through over the years in the show. Somethings like getting married or lead a normal life from start were the things she loved but others, not so much. Here is the list of few things that Season 1 Phoebe would have hated about finale Phoebe and few things she would be proud of.Let’s check out:
In season one, Phoebe doesn’t think she has much of the family. She just had a grandmother and her twin and horrible sister, Ursula. But by the end of the show, she managed to find her birth mother with whom she built a real bond and found her father with whom she didn’t reconcile much. She also connected with her brother, and as a surrogate, have his babies. It is wonderful to see her discovering that she has more family than she thought and making these amazing connections with them.
Phoebe was always a person with morals in the show. But by the end of it, she didn’t just give up on her musical dreams but also sold out with her massage business. Rachel finds out in the ninth season Phoebe is now working for a big corporate spa chain. Her reason was she likes stability and, also money is great. Well, this was a smart move on her part and for her career, but in season one, Pheobe would have hated this kind of chain environment.
Phoebe never had a normal family like normal people and she always wanted it. Phoebe from season one will be thrilled to find out that she does fall in love with an amazing man and gets her happily ever after in the end. Mike may be a late addition in the FRIENDS, but he’s a great one. Fans always adored that how he matches her energy and balances her quirkiness. Phoebe definitely deserved this support and relationship.
Phoebe realizes in the end that she really wants to be a ‘soccer mom’. She tells her friends that she actually wants to get married after all of the chaos of her early life and be a bit more traditional. Well, it is amazing that she actually realizes it and manages to get her happy ending. However, Phoebe of season one would be furious that she turns into this person because she hasn’t had this lightbulb moment yet.
Phoebe’s twin sister, Ursula, is never a piece of cake. She is actually a piece of work who lies to everyone and uses Phoebe’s real name to launch her porn career. Even after knowing that it could create problems for her because of the smirch around the work. She withholds important information about their lives like the existence of their birth mother and their mother’s final note to them and much more stuff like that. Phoebe actually learns to stand up to her sister in the end and to accept that they won’t have a great relationship.
Phoebe is always playing at Central Perk in the early seasons of the show. She keeps writing songs for her friends and talking about her musical dreams. But as long the show goes on, she seems to set aside her musical passion. She hasn’t completely given up the music but we hardly see her playing. While Mike, her husband is making a career as a piano player at the end of the series, she just seems to have given things up.
It is heartbreaking to know that she didn’t have a bike in her childhood. Ross felt that and bought Phoebe a bike as a sweet gift. However, later the gang realizes that she doesn’t really know how to ride one. Well, it was not surprising to give her stories about her childhood. Pheobe tries to hide this at first from her friends, but she allows Ross to teach her how to ride in the end. Phoebe of season one would be proud of learning that skill.
Phoebe is way too dedicated to her music in the earlier seasons of the show. Even though her songs are surely far from mainstream, but she always wanted to make it big. Well, she did have one song that became a kind of hit, Smelly Cat. However, she ended up selling the “Smelly Cat” song to a cat litter company when she reconnected with an old friend who wrote jingles for ads. Later, with someone else doing the singing, it was going to be converted into an actual pop song.
Fans discovered in season nine that Phoebe used to mug teenagers for money. And Ross was one of her victims back in the days. Phoebe certainly wasn’t proud of her actions in the past and it also caused a major issue between Ross and Phoebe. However, she would be proud to know that she made up as best she could for Ross.
The Phoebe of the finale season was surely much more traditional than the Phoebe of the early days of the series. Some fans might see it as a character growing up with time, but some might also feel like betraying her own unique self in the process. And, Phoebe of season one would have been the first one who would have hated it. She would be shocked to see this normal life with being married and having a steady job and a fairly ‘normal’ wardrobe.
David Arquette and Courteney Cox, the “Scream” co-actors are the perfect example of life imitating art. They started with a casual relationship but soon became a couple after getting to know each other. However, after being in the relationship for 11 long years, Cox and Arquette decided to quit and moved on with other people.
Now it has been few years of their split, and their wonder, if Cox and Arquette are still friends or their relationship, hit the rock hard enough to drive them apart. Here’s what we know about their relationship.
In 1996, Cox and Arquette’s love story begun when they both landed roles in the horror film “Scream”. In the film, Arquette played the dopey Deputy Dewey Riley while Cox portrayed ruthless reporter Gale Weathers. Arquette was smitten by Cox when they first met at a pre-party before filming began. But, Cox took some time to reciprocate his feelings.
In an interview with Bang Media in 2009, Arquette revealed, “Was it love at first sight? For me it was, but not for her. I had to trick her. We met at a pre-party before we started filming Scream. I was being a little cocky and Courteney was like, ‘Ah, I’ve heard of you,’ and we just kept flirting for a while.” He added, “She’s just so gorgeous and she jokes around so much.” After goofing around for two years, the couple tied the knot in 1999 in San Francisco during a star-studded wedding ceremony.
Well, do you remember the episode “The One After Vegas” from FRIENDS? Cox and Arquette got married between seasons and she took his last name. This episode was the first episode to credit Cox as “Courteney Cox Arquette”. So, as an inside joke, writers added “Arquette” to all cast members. At the end of the credits, they also added a dedication, “To Courteney and David, who did get married”. This perfectly fitted with Chandler and Monica’s plot in the show, where they decide not to get married yet and instead move in together. If you don’t know, Arquette played Ursula’s stalker boyfriend Malcolm in season 3 of FRIENDS.
That episode is still famous as “the Arquette episode” among fans and will always live on to celebrate Courteney Cox’s marriage. It was a nice touch from the production of FRIENDS to make it memorable.
In the following years, the couple tried to conceive but they didn’t get lucky. Despite having a miscarriage seven times, they didn’t lose hope. In an interview with the People, Cox said, “We bounce back pretty quickly. I don’t say it’s a walk in the park. But what are you going to do? We just try again.”
At that time Cox was shooting for FRIENDS. And after getting miscarried again, she had to film Rachel Green’s birth scenes. Cox admits that it was particularly very difficult to shoot that scene after suffering a miscarriage. In an interview with NBC, she said, “I remember one time I just had a miscarriage and Rachel was giving birth. It was like that same time. Oh my God, it was terrible having to be funny.”
In 2004, the couple’s perseverance eventually paid off and Cox and Arquette welcomed their daughter, Coco.
However, Cox and Arquette began to experience issues in their relationship after few years of the marriage. Although Cox was initially attracted towards the quirky attitude of Arquette, she soon became bored of his kooky behavior and started to feel like more of his mother than his wife. In 2010, eventually, this tore apart the couple, and they separated after being together for 11 years.
A day after their split, Arquette revealed the reason behind his breakup from Cox while talking on a radio show. He admits that his quirky attitude and lack of maturity took a huge toll on their marriage. As per US Weekly, about their decision of separation, he said, “It breaks my heart. He was not the one that called this [separation] in order.” He continued, “I’ve been begging Courteney to get back with me. She’s conflicted too.”
Arquette also revealed that Cox’s 11th wedding anniversary gift was a clear sign that she does not want to continue their relationship anymore. He recalled and said, “She said to me, ‘I don’t want to be your mother anymore.’ And I appreciated that about her … She didn’t want to tell me, ‘Don’t do that.’ She didn’t want to nag me anymore.” He remembered that Cox said this after gifting him a motorcycle.
In 2013, after two years their divorce became final and their ways separated.
While most of the couples choose to not be in contact or maintain a close relationship after breaking up, Arquette and Cox chose to be good friends these last few years. They never let their marital issues come in between their friendship. Even after their divorce, they remained in each other’s lives and maintained a close relationship as they have been co-parenting their 15-years-old daughter, Coco.
While talking to People in 2012, Cox revealed about their post-marriage relationship. She said, “He’s my favorite person in the world. He’s my best friend. No matter what happens in our future, he’s my very best friend.”
The bond of Cox and Arquette is still going strong. Reportedly, they are going to reunite on-screen for the “Scream” reboot. Cox revealed on Instagram in July 2020 that she is going to reprise her role as Gale Weathers in “Scream 5”. She captioned after the series of photos of the villain’s black-and-white mask, “I can’t wait to see this face again.”
Like Cox, Arquette is thrilled to work again on the “Scream” horror series. He expressed his excitement in a statement, saying, “thrilled to be playing Dewey again and to reunite with my ‘Scream’ family, old and new.”
Also, Cox is all prepared to reunite with the remaining five main characters of the FRIENDS for the reunion special. It will finally bring all the six characters back together on the NBC comedy’s original soundstage. However, it was set to be aired in May 2020 but it got indefinitely delayed because of the Coronavirus Pandemic situation.
