In 1983, when 24-year-old Patricia Clarke became pregnant, she had more than a hunch that her unborn child would be big.

She was aware that large families were in her family because she had previously given birth to one. Although, the sheer size of the baby she was carrying was completely unexpected.

Kevin Robert Clark was born to Patricia, and he measured in at over 16 pounds—an enormous baby. He was the largest infant ever born at Community Memorial Hospital and maybe all of New Jersey at the time.

His parents were relieved to see that Kevin was absolutely healthy, even though he couldn’t fit into a standard-sized cot and his baby clothes were too small.

As one could expect, his stature was immediately apparent. His national fame skyrocketed after he was featured on “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America,” among other shows.

Begin by setting a good example.

Unfortunately, Kevin wasn’t finished taking center stage just yet. He was 5 feet and 7 inches tall when he was 12 years old, according to the New York Post.

Upon entering junior high, he had grown to a height of 6 feet and 5 inches. He continued to develop more after that.

“There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” Kevin told the Post.

“I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”

Today, Tom’s age is 40. His 6-foot-tall wife and Great Dane make their home with him; he is a former soldier.

Being taller than other people is just something he has gotten used to. Actually, he does it with his enormous stride. Tom recently measured 6 feet 9 inches in height.

Watch the video down below to learn more about his amazing story:

Coming into the spotlight at birth and spending much of your childhood with people staring at you and asking questions must be challenging.

However, it appears that Kevin is coping quite well… As he moves forward, we hope for the best for him!

Only months after she was unshackled from the palace’s protocols, Princess Diana made a bold statement at the 1996 Met Gala by appearing in a provocative revenge dress.

The inky-colored lingerie-inspired dress, that the late princess decided to wear without a bra, “was a reflection of how she was already feeling” and the liberation she experienced since divorcing the now king.

Keep reading to learn more about Diana’s jaw-dropping look at the New York event!

Before the late Princess of Wales slid into a stretch limo, that took her from New York’s Metropolitan Museum to her room at the Carlyle Hotel, she sipped on champagne, dined with the world’s top designers, and completely shocked event goers with her unroyal attire.

After 15 years of marriage, Diana was living free, untethered from the strict rules of the royal family. Her divorce from the now King Charles III was finalized in August of the same year.

At her first ever Met Gala appearance, Diana wore a lingerie-inspired silk navy-blue slip dress with black lace and paired the ensemble with a matching silk robe. She accessorized the outfit with sparkling sapphire earrings and a choker necklace, that she designed from a sapphire brooch gifted to from the Queen Mother on her wedding day to Charles.

But it wasn’t the sapphire jewelry that was turning heads that evening.

According to Eloise Moran, author of “The Lady Di Look Book: What Diana Was Trying To Tell Us Through Her Clothes,” Diana’s ensemble was a “revenge” look.

“That was one of her most shocking dresses. But I thought she looked fabulous. She just looks so happy and confident,” Moran told Yahoo. “I think she was embracing it and enjoying it. She knew she could never get rid of the attention and the spotlight on her, but I think she was positioning it in a different way, as a kind of international megastar, Marilyn Monroe-type icon rather than a member of the royal family. And I think the dress really reflected that.”

Bra-less

Fashion editor Hilary Alexander says it’s not surprising to see celebrities “wearing underwear as outerwear, but for a princess to do it at a formal occasion is a different matter.”

Speaking of Diana’s midnight blue dress, that cost about $12,5000 at the time, she says, “It is a very sensual rather than overly sexy dress, and it is a million miles away from the more formal outfits she usually picks.”

But not everyone was impressed by Diana’s sexy silhouette.

“It was not so much haute couture as Oh! Couture,” said fashion critic, Brenda Polan. “The problem, and there is no delicate way of saying this, is that it looked like she had accidentally stepped out in her nightie, which meant, of course, that she wasn’t wearing a bra.”

The first revenge dress

Still, Diana seamlessly pulled off the daring look, much like she did in 1994 when Charles “aired out some serious dirty laundry” and confirmed that he was having an affair with now his wife, Camilla, the queen to his king.

But the late princess didn’t miss a beat.

On June 29, 1994 – the same day her then-husband had made his confession – the woman attended an event at London’s Serpentine Gallery in a jaw-dropping “revenge dress.”

Turning heads at the gala, Diana looked perfect in a fitted, black, off-the-shoulder dress with an asymmetrical hemline and chiffon train that flowed in the wind.

“She didn’t have to say anything with words. It was a fashion response, that dress became her clear message to Charles and the world,” People writes.

‘Liberated’

At the Met Gala, her fashion shared a message of freedom.

John Galliano, the designer of Diana’s Christian Dior dress, told the Wall Street Journal in 2018 that she felt “liberated” since her divorce, deciding to also liberate her breasts by going go bra-less.

“It was a reflection of how she was already feeling,” Galliano said of her risqué gown.

Marie opened up about the challenges of DIY hair care during the pandemic. With salons closed, she turned to virtual consultations with her hairstylist for guidance.

“I called her up and I said, ‘How does it look?’ and she goes, ‘You’re right, you really can’t do hair, can you?’” Marie recounted to ET Online.

Marie revealed her hairstylist had been her lifeline during that time, guiding her through the process. “She talked me through this. She made me pin this all forward in a ponytail, and she said, ‘Now you pull it over your grays and then they can’t see it,’” Marie explained.

There’s a lot to be said for a neat, tidy home where everything has its place. If you’re anything like me, you’ll find it extremely hard to focus when the place is a mess or you have the feeling that things aren’t precisely where they should be.

Of course, that wasn’t always the case. When I was young I didn’t place much emphasis on organization around the house – I guess I’ve got my mother to thank for the fact that it always looked like it was ready to be pictured for an estate agent’s portfolio.

She taught me many tips and trick too, my mother, amongst those the best ways to use those small cupboards many kitchens have above refrigerators. Know the ones I mean? Well, if you have them as well, read on to see how they might be best utilized.

At first glance, the small cupboards you might find above the refrigerator might not look like they can be all that useful.

They’re simply not big enough for some things, and having plates or cups up that high just simply isn’t practical.

So, what to do with them?

Well, if you’re at a loose end as to what you want to do with these cupboards, we’re here to lend some nifty tips and tricks.

Storage space for infrequently used kitchen gadgets:

As stated, these cupboards probably aren’t ideal for things you’re going to be using twice a day every day, but that doesn’t mean they can’t hold things that only come out every now and then. Think food processors, blenders, waffle makers, etc.

Canned products and baking essentials

Most canned food and produce have extremely long life-spans, meaning they can be placed up here and it’s okay if you forget about them for a while. Or how about baking essentials that you might only use on weekends?

Cookbooks

Got a few cookbooks you don’t want just lying around? I know I have, so I actually use the top compartment of my cupboard to keep my books.

Pantry items and spices

Similar to what we mentioned about canned foods, there are likely items you have in your pantry that can fit nicely in such a cupboard. Or you might consider getting a small spice rack to keep your cooking spices up there.

Kitchen towels

Household items like kitchen towels that you might buy in bulk (my wife always does) can be stored here.

Fine china

Got some plates or sets of cutlery that are only reserved for special occasions? It could make sense to keep them above the fridge, and there’s less chance of your children getting hold of them this way!

Be careful

It should go without saying, but we’re going to say it anyway: be careful when opening and closing said cupboards. If you’re lifting things up there, make sure they’re not too heavy to safely get down again.

Always use a sturdy stool or step ladder to access whatever it is you’re storing there, and be mindful of the fact that heat emitted by the fridge beneath makes it less ideal for certain products.

Recent headlines involving Angelina Jolie have once again captured global attention, reminding audiences how closely the world follows the lives of public figures. As an award-winning actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian, Jolie has long been a prominent presence both in Hollywood and in international advocacy efforts.

Whenever news emerges about someone of her stature, reactions tend to be immediate and emotional. Fans often express concern, support, and curiosity, especially when reports suggest personal or professional challenges. In today’s digital age, information spreads rapidly, sometimes before full details are confirmed.

Over the years, Angelina Jolie has faced various life changes under intense public scrutiny. From career decisions to family matters and humanitarian missions, each development has generated widespread discussion. What consistently stands out, however, is her resilience and continued dedication to her work.

Public figures often experience moments that are labeled as “heartbreaking” by media outlets, yet these situations can range from professional transitions to deeply personal milestones. It is important to approach such headlines with thoughtful consideration and to rely on verified information rather than speculation.

Support from fans and the broader community frequently plays a significant role during challenging times. Messages of encouragement across social platforms demonstrate how influential and admired Jolie remains around the world. Her impact extends beyond film into philanthropy, human rights advocacy, and global awareness initiatives.

Conclusion: Headlines may spark concern or curiosity, but they also remind us of the human side of public figures. Behind every announcement is a person navigating life’s changes just like anyone else. Staying informed through reliable sources and responding with empathy helps maintain a balanced perspective.

Did you know that waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning is often linked to natural sleep cycles rather than something mysterious? Many people experience early morning awakenings at some point in their lives, and in most cases, it is a normal part of how the body regulates sleep.

Human sleep follows cycles that repeat throughout the night, typically lasting about 90 minutes each. These cycles include light sleep, deep sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Around 3 or 4 a.m., the body may transition between cycles, making it easier to wake up briefly before falling back asleep.

Stress and anxiety are also common reasons for waking during these hours. Cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, can begin rising in the early morning as part of the natural wake-up process. If a person is under emotional or mental pressure, this hormonal shift may trigger full alertness instead of a short awakening.

Another factor may be lifestyle habits. Consuming caffeine late in the day, using electronic devices before bedtime, or maintaining inconsistent sleep schedules can interfere with the body’s internal clock. Environmental influences such as room temperature, noise, or light exposure can also play a role.

In some cases, frequent early waking may be associated with insomnia or other sleep-related conditions. If someone consistently wakes at the same time and struggles to return to sleep, it may be helpful to evaluate daily stress levels, bedtime routines, and overall health habits.

Improving sleep hygiene can make a significant difference. Establishing a regular bedtime, limiting screen exposure before sleep, reducing caffeine intake in the afternoon, and creating a calm sleeping environment all support better rest. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or gentle stretching before bed may also help regulate nighttime awakenings.

Conclusion: Waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning is usually connected to natural sleep cycles, stress levels, or lifestyle factors rather than a dramatic underlying cause. Understanding how the body manages sleep can reduce worry and help you make simple adjustments to improve overall rest and well-being.

Have you ever noticed stripes or lines appearing on your nails and wondered what they might mean? Striped nails are actually quite common and, in many cases, are a natural part of aging or minor changes in the body. However, certain patterns or sudden changes can sometimes signal underlying health conditions that deserve attention.

There are two primary types of nail stripes: vertical ridges and horizontal lines. Vertical ridges, which run from the cuticle to the tip of the nail, are very common and tend to become more noticeable with age. They are usually harmless and are often linked to natural changes in cell turnover within the nail matrix.

Horizontal lines, sometimes referred to as Beau’s lines, can appear after periods of physical stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies. These lines may form when nail growth temporarily slows or stops due to factors such as high fever, infection, or significant stress. In many cases, as the nail continues to grow, the line gradually moves upward and eventually disappears.

White stripes or spots can also appear on nails. These are frequently caused by minor trauma to the nail bed rather than a serious medical issue. However, persistent discoloration or changes in texture may indicate deficiencies in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, or protein.

In rare cases, nail striping accompanied by other symptoms—such as fatigue, hair loss, or skin changes—could be associated with more significant health concerns. That’s why it’s important to consider nail changes as part of the overall picture of your well-being rather than as isolated signs.

Maintaining healthy nails involves proper hydration, balanced nutrition, and gentle nail care. Avoiding harsh chemicals, protecting hands during cleaning tasks, and trimming nails regularly can help preserve their strength and appearance. If unusual stripes appear suddenly or are accompanied by discomfort, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.

Conclusion: Striped nails are often harmless and simply reflect natural aging or minor temporary changes in the body. However, they can sometimes serve as subtle indicators of stress, nutritional imbalance, or health shifts. Paying attention to your body’s signals and maintaining overall wellness is the best way to ensure healthy nails and general well-being.
