In this long-awaited “sequel” to his 1988 box-office smash, Eddie Murphy makes a slick, comfortable return to a fan-favorite role—and slides back into a familiar-feeling comedy that revs up loads of new laughs with an all-star supporting cast of old friends and fresh faces. In the original Coming to America, Murphy starred as a young pampered African prince who comes to America to find a wife. Now, 30 years later, his Prince Akeem is a benevolent ruler, a loving husband and a father of three lovely young daughters....

This helps you become more aware of your body in the process—your level of strength, flexibility, and balance, and what areas need to be strengthened. What is wall rope yoga? “Wall rope yoga is a way to practice yoga poses with the use of the wall and the rope as helpers for resistance and support,” says Tara Stiles, wellness expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Strala Yoga....

Following the show’s premiere, the actor was slammed by audiences for a semi-political one-liner in the first episode. The scene in question finds Allen’s character, Scott Calvin/Santa, suggesting, “Merry Christmas is suddenly problematic.” The 69-year-old reprised his beloved role from the 1994 family film, The Santa Clause (and subsequent films), about a man who assumes the role of Santa after he accidentally kills the original Christmas icon. The new series, which is releasing episodes weekly, finds Santa seeing the Christmas spirit dwindling around the world as the kids who once believed in him are now adults without any holiday cheer, which lends itself to the “war on Christmas” line....

In November of 2021, she was found sleeping on a Dutch submarine (a walrus class, funnily enough) at a North Holland naval base. The next month, she was spotted snoozing on a salmon farm cage in the Shetlands.

Kathrine Ryeng, a veterinary medicine scientist at Norway’s Institute of Marine Research, told NBC News that Freya has an affinity for these boats, where she climbs up to sleep and digest her food, because they remind her of Arctic ice floes....
