Winner of multiple Academy Awards, and arguably the king of Western films, Clint Eastwood turns 89 on May 31. Throughout the years, the famed director and actor has built an illustrious reputation among some of <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/category/making-money/wealth/?utm_source=article-content&utm_medium=513924&utm_campaign=oo22" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #21a0df; text-decoration-line: none;">Hollywood’s richest talents</a>. Eastwood’s robust resume includes directing more than 30 films since 1971, and his acting career has been equally successful.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood’s roles both in front of the camera and behind it have scored him a net worth of $375 million. That kind of bank account makes the legendary filmmaker easily one of the <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/category/net-worth/celebrities/?utm_source=article-content&utm_medium=845624&utm_campaign=oo22" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #21a0df; text-decoration-line: none;">richest celebrities in Tinseltown</a>. Here’s a look back at how the American icon rose to fame and fortune.<br />

Clint Eastwood’s Early Acting Career (1950s and 1960s)</h2>
<div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">
1953: Got married for the first time</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
In 1953, Eastwood tied the knot with Maggie Johnson, his first wife, whom he married after meeting on a blind date six months prior, according to ABC News. Within a couple of years, Eastwood began working small, sometimes-uncredited roles in films like “Revenge of the Creature” and “Tarantula.”</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">
1959: Earned $700 an episode on ‘Rawhide’</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
In 1959, Eastwood landed his first breakthrough role in the TV series “Rawhide,” playing cattle driver Rowdy Yates, which made him a household name. Eastwood earned roughly $700 per episode in the show’s early days — approximately $6,000 in today’s dollars. Even though this was fairly good money for a TV star of that era, it still pales in comparison to the <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/net-worth/celebrities/big-bang-theory-cast-jim-parsons-salary/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #21a0df; text-decoration-line: none;">huge paychecks of today’s TV stars</a>.</div>
<div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em; width: 750px;">
1964: Landed first leading role worth $15,000</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood snagged his first leading role in “A Fistful of Dollars,” which was released in Italy in 1964. The movie was a box-office hit and earned a domestic gross of $14.5 million on an estimated $200,000 budget after its 1967 U.S. release. For his role in the film, however, Eastwood earned just $15,000 — around $115,000 today.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">
1967: Received a $250K paycheck for ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Two more Clint Eastwood movies hit U.S. theaters in 1967: “For a Few Dollars More” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” Before filming for “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” began in 1966, Eastwood negotiated a much higher pay of $250,000 — about $1.9 million today — and 10 percent of profits earned in America, plus a Ferrari.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
The three big-hit Westerns all released in 1967 in the U.S. solidified Eastwood’s status as an action star and huge name in the film industry.</div>

Clint Eastwood Moves Into Producing and Directing (1970s and 1980s)</h2>

1971: Eastwood’s directing debut grosses $10.6M</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
In 1971, Eastwood made his directorial debut with the thriller film “Play Misty for Me,” in which he also starred. The film was received well and earned a domestic gross of $10.6 million.</div>

That same year, Eastwood also starred in “Dirty Harry,” which turned out to be a huge hit with a domestic gross of $36 million. It’s still a cult classic and its success led to four other films in the “Dirty Harry” franchise.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">
1978: ‘Every Which Way But Loose’ grosses $85M domestically</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
“Every Which Way But Loose” grossed the most of all Eastwood movies released in the 1970s, raking in more than $85 million. Adjusted for ticket price inflation, Box Office Mojo puts the film’s earnings equivalent to $333.5 million, making it the highest-grossing film in which Eastwood has ever acted. The 1980 sequel “Any Which Way You Can” was also a hit, grossing $70.7 million.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Around this time, Eastwood met actress Sondra Locke and the two started a decade-plus relationship even though he was still married to Johnson at the time, according to ABC News.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">
1980s: $4.5M flops to $46.7M movie hits</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood’s success slowed a bit during this decade, and his films were more hit-and-miss. He directed, produced, starred in and wrote music for 1982’s “Honkytonk Man,” but the film flopped and earned less than $4.5 million, one of the lowest totals of Eastwood’s career. Fortunately, Eastwood’s other 1982 film, “Firefox,” was a hit that brought in just above $46.7 million in box-office sales, according to Box Office Mojo.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood’s minor career slump continued through the 1980s, and his few high-earning films were sequels of other films, like the 1983 “Dirty Harry” follow-up, “Sudden Impact.” Despite this, in 1984 Eastwood was honored at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and imprinted his handprints and signature into the cement.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">
1984: First divorce costs Eastwood $25M</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood also had troubles in his personal life, starting with a divorce from Maggie Johnson in 1984 that cost him big. She walked away from the <a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/category/saving-money/relationships/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #21a0df; text-decoration-line: none;">divorce settlement</a> with $25 million of his earnings, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood’s relationship with Locke also ended soon after in 1989, and Locke filed a palimony claim against him. After a long and drawn-out legal battle, she and Eastwood settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
During the ’80s, Eastwood, an outspoken Republican, got more involved in political matters. In 1986, he spent $25,000 on his campaign to be mayor of Carmel, Calif. He won the election and held office for one term.</div>

Clint Eastwood Finds Commercial and Critical Success (1990s and 2000s)</h2>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
After a rocky decade both financially and personally, Eastwood turned it around with big success in the 1990s. Eastwood directed, produced and starred in 1992’s “Unforgiven,” which earned a domestic gross of $101,157,44, according to Box Office Mojo. The film also won critics over, earning four Academy Awards, including Best Director, Best Supporting Actor Gene Hackman and Best Picture. The film was a return to the genre that made him famous and was his last Western film to date.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
In 1993, Eastwood starred in another huge career hit, “In the Line of Fire,” portraying a Secret Service agent to the president, which grossed $102.3 million.<a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/net-worth/celebrities/actors/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #21a0df; text-decoration-line: none;"></a></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
After being recognized with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1994, an honor handed down by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the consistently high quality of his movies, Eastwood debuted a new film in 1995. Eastwood directed, produced, starred in and even wrote music for “The Bridges of Madison County,” a success that earned a domestic box-office gross of $71.5 million.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
According to ABC News, Eastwood also found love again with Dina Ruiz, whom he met in 1993 during a TV interview. After three years of dating, the couple married in 1996.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood saw continued success in the 2000s. In 2003, he directed, produced and wrote music for “Mystic River,” which was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture in the 2003 Academy Awards. Sean Penn ended up winning Best Actor for “Mystic River,” and the film earned a total domestic gross of $90.1 million.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #81abb5; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 2em;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood followed up that success with another in 2004, directing and starring in “Million Dollar Baby.” The film took home the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress. “Million Dollar Baby” grossed nearly $216.8 million worldwide at the box office.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
In 2006, he directed and produced “Letters From Iwo Jima,” which was a favorite of critics and nominated for Best Director and Best Picture by the Academy. The film was a box-office flop, however, earning only $13,756,082 domestically, but Eastwood’s other 2006 film, “Flags of Our Fathers,” more than doubled that with over $33 million in domestic earnings.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood directed two films in 2008: “Changeling” starring Angelina Jolie, and “Gran Torino.” Not only did Eastwood direct “Gran Torino,” but he also anchored the film as the lead character.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
“Gran Torino” turned out to be a major hit, grossing nearly $270 million worldwide. Not too shabby for a film that originally had a $35 million budget.</div>

Eastwood directed a string of mediocre-performing films between 2009 and 2011, but he then became more politically active in 2012. That same year he gave the infamous “empty chair address” at the Republican National Convention, acting as if President Obama were present in an empty chair and criticizing the imaginary president for his failures.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
After receiving backlash for his political views two years prior, the success of “American Sniper” was just what Eastwood needed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Although Eastwood started off 2014 with the release of the mildly successful “Jersey Boys,” he rebounded in December with “American Sniper” starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. The film is his most financially successful project to date, grossing more than $547.4 million worldwide. “American Sniper” also scored big with critics, earning Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Actor as well as four other Oscars.</div>

2016: Eastwood directs ‘Sully’ in Imax, starring Tom Hanks</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Eastwood might be turning 88 years old, but he’s got an eye for the latest technology. In 2016, Eastwood directed “Sully.” The film, which has a lifetime gross of more than $125 million domestically, was the first movie made almost entirely with Imax cameras. “Sully” stars <a class="strong-link" data-ga-action="/net-worth/celebrities/tom-hanks-net-worth/" data-ga-category="strong-links" data-ga-label="Tom Hanks" data-ga="true" data-strong-link-id="479376" href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/net-worth/celebrities/tom-hanks-net-worth/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #21a0df; text-decoration-line: none;">Tom Hanks</a> as the U.S. Airways pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who landed a passenger airliner in the Hudson River in 2009.</div>

2018: ‘The 15:17 to Paris’ and Eastwood’s future plans</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
Released in February, “The 15:17 to Paris” is the latest movie Eastwood directed. The film, which is based on the true story of three Americans who uncover a terrorist plot on a train in France, performed poorly at the box office with a domestic lifetime gross of just over $36 million. It was also was panned by critics.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px; width: 750px;">
Despite the disappointment of “The 15:17 to Paris,” Eastwood’s directing chops and legacy in cinema remain undeniable.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 11px;">
As for the future, Eastwood is in talks to direct, produce and — for the first time since 2012 — star in the drama “The Mule” with Bradley Cooper.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Let’s face it, we all want more traffic, more subscribers and more daily sales. And there’s one simple solution that still works like gangbusters for this — eBooks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Whether it’s a powerful lead magnet such as a free report or whitepaper, or a Kindle book that you sell daily… digital books are still an awesome way to attract traffic and sales for almost any type of business.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
But there’s just one problem — creating them can cause all kinds of headaches. Writing, formatting, designing… it can take days or even weeks to create an eBook, plus a steep learning curve and a handful of expensive tools you’ll need to master… before you’ve even hit publish!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
But there’s a brand-new tool on the market that promises to change all that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
It’s called Sqribble.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What is <a href="https://bit.ly/2AJ4VSe" target="_blank">Sqribble</a>?</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Sqribble is a cloud-based tool that allows you to create eBooks (reports, whitepapers, etc.) in seconds. It uses ready—made templates and drag n’ drop design features that make self-publishing your eBooks a breeze.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How does it work?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
When you log into Sqribble, you’ll see a bunch of eBook templates to choose from. These are all based on different categories, so you’ll need to find one that matches your market/topic/niche.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Once you’ve selected the template you want to use, you simply click “view” to see how your eBook will look (don’t worry, we’ll add your content next.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
In this view screen, you can see how the book will be laid out and get a feel for the style. If you don’t like it, you can always go back and choose another template (there’s 50 templates to choose from, and you can also edit the templates too, in all kinds of ways.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
You’ll notice that the layouts and designs are very slick. They look like professional publications!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Next, you’ll be asked where you want to source your content for the book. You can choose:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
— Grab from a URL</div>

— Start from scratch</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
— Copy and paste manually</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
— Upload Word File</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

Let’s take a closer look at these options.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
This allows you to insert any URL you want, and Sqribble will automatically pull the content from that page and insert into your book. It strips the html code and only inserts the text from the page. This is my fave method, because it saves a ton of time, and allows you to use expert content (with credits) so you can target topics and niches you’re not an expert in!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

As it sounds, this option allows you to enter your content like you’d enter it into a Word document. You just type straight into the page.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

This allows you to copy content from anywhere you want, and paste into the book, where the book will format and lay it out for you professionally.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

You can get Sqribble to pull your content straight from a Word document, stripping out any code or weird formatting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

Here you can extract content from Sqribble’s huge library of private label articles which you can use for free, without crediting authors or linking to the source. It’s another great way to quickly fill your book with content, for free!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Finally, you’ll move to an editing screen, where you can resize text, move content around, edit text directly, add media, links, lists, call to action areas, new pages, and a whole bunch of other options for customizing the look and feel of individual pages or the entire book.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
You can even add new pages that use a totally different layout to the rest of your book, giving you a huge amount of flexibility and endless options for your book.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
While editing, another thing I really liked was the Themes option. With a single click, you can instantly change the color theme and font style of your entire book. It’s like giving your book a new “skin” and it’s just one more feature that sets Sqribble apart from the other tools out there.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Finally, when you’re ready to publish, you hit the little “Generate eBook” button in the top right corner of the screen and voila, your book is now ready!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
You can either open the book in a browser to preview it quickly or save as PDF.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
Is Sqribble right for you?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
If you’re already creating lead magnets or eBooks for sale, then I have no doubt that Sqribble is going to save you hours of work and tons of money on freelancers (if you outsource the design or writing side of it.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
For that reason, I truly believe that Sqribble is well worth the investment and perfectly suited for most small to medium size businesses, especially self-publishers and info marketers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
It’s also a great tool to use if you’re a freelancer or agency, working with clients to create professional eBooks <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">(includes commercial rights, plus a done for you agency website, which is a big bonus!)</em>. You could easily charge $100’s for this service, and with Sqribble, you could get the work done in way less time than it wouldn’t normally take you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #454545; font-family: Circular-book; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">

is everywhere; it's the new buzzword, the new favorite among those looking to
shed pounds, and the new hate victim of the
food-pyramid-spouting-eat-your-whole grains mainstream medical industry. The
keto diet, while it is not the magic cure-all for every single disease on the
planet, does a pretty dang good job at being the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">potential causer </b>of healing many horrible conditions. So let's cut
through the science, separate fact from fiction, and look at the benefits of
the <a href="https://bit.ly/2MNpgbu" target="_blank">keto diet</a>.</span><br />

so this one isn't so astounding, but it is one of the most common reasons
people embark on the keto diet. So why is weight loss usually so easy on the
ketogenic diet instead of other regular diets? For all of the following

75% fat, 20 % protein, and 5% or less carbohydrates. The high fat content and
lack of sugar means diminished cravings, lack of blood sugar swings and binges,
and increased satiation. Increased satiation=eating less. Many people also have
food sensitivities to grains, even gluten-free ones, so eliminating them may
lead to an increased ability to absorb minerals like magnesium and potassium,
which in turn means your body is more nourished and you have fewer cravings<o:p></o:p></span></div>

low, your body turns to its glycogen stores for energy. Typically glycogen
stores house about 2000 calories of "backup" energy for when you run

stores and then turns to your own body fat for fuel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

with the keto desserts, dairy, and sweets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

poorly functioning brain, as you may have already experienced, leads to
lessened work productivity, which in turn means an unhappy boss, lack of job
satisfaction, sugar cravings for energy, and depression. It's a horrible domino
effect. The original ketogenic diet was formulated by Dr. Russell Wilder in the
early 20th century to treat epilepsy. The success rate was phenomenal and it is
still used today to treat epilepsy and other brain disorders. Research also
indicates that ketones are more efficient brain fuel than glucose. (Source: <u><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5102124/"><span style="color: black;">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5102124/</span></a></u>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/-1481655240.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/-1481655240.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
There are plenty of reasons to quit drinking alcohol. Perhaps you can't party as hard as you once did, and the hangovers are getting worse. Maybe you've developed a beer belly. Possibly, there's a deeper issue at play and you don't want your drinking to get out of hand before it's a problem—unless it already is and you just don't realize it. Whatever your circumstances are, you're here, and you're ready to kick the sauce. Let's breakdown what happens to your body once you quit drinking.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Detox isn't pretty</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/detox-isnt-pretty-1481655250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="780" height="223" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/detox-isnt-pretty-1481655250.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The first 48 hours after you stop drinking may be the biggest detox hurdle. Depending how much you were drinking, this may feel like a hangover or it may be more than that. Withdrawal symptoms can include sweating, a rise in blood pressure, shakiness or tremors, and insomnia as well as the usual hangover symptoms like headache and nausea.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You'll crave alcohol</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/youll-crave-alcohol-1481655252.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/youll-crave-alcohol-1481655252.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
You probably saw that one coming. If you've been drinking alcohol regularly, your body is going to take note when it's gone. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, cravings are to be expected when your drinking behavior changes. The equilibrium your body created to adjust to alcohol in your system will no longer exist. That first day you go without a drink, especially if you've been drinking every day, is likely going to be filled with cravings for alcohol. For some, cravings can last weeks, months, or years depending on the amount and regularity of alcohol use prior to quitting<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It may get worse before it gets better</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/it-may-get-worse-before-it-gets-better-1481655254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="780" height="223" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/it-may-get-worse-before-it-gets-better-1481655254.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
If you are a heavy drinker, you may not be out of the woods after 48 hours. Between 48-72 hours is generally when the onset of 'delirium tremens' occurs for some. Delirium tremens is sudden confusion that may be paired with hallucinations, shaking, irregular heart rate, and an increase in body temperature so high that it can sometimes lead to seizures. If you are a heavy drinker, it is important to detox from alcohol under the supervision of a medical professional as the withdrawal from quitting cold turkey can lead to death<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Physical symptoms will subside</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/physical-symptoms-will-subside-1481655255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/physical-symptoms-will-subside-1481655255.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
While hangover and withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable, and at times dangerous, the good news is that after peaking at around 72 hours after the last drink, the last of these symptoms will generally start to subside. At this stage your body begins to create a new equilibrium that does not include alcohol and its effects.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Other symptoms of detox last longer</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
While your body will have adjusted after a week of not drinking, there may be psychological effects of detox that last longer. Some people report feelings of anger and aggression, general anxiety and depression, nightmares and difficulty sleeping, and even decreased libido. This is in part because alcohol use affects neurotransmitters that are implicated in mood, such as serotonin. There may also be underlying issues for which alcohol has been used to self-medicate. Often the experiences and emotions that were being ignored during alcohol use rise to the surface after you stop drinking. During this time it can be helpful to seek out counseling, either individual or in a group, to handle these emotions and experiences.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You'll sleep better</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/youll-sleep-better-1481655251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-happens-to-your-body-once-you-stop-drinking/youll-sleep-better-1481655251.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It may take a week or two, but after you quit drinking you'll ultimately sleep better. According to research, drinking increases brain wave patterns that usually happen when you're awake. In normal deep sleep, the brain activity is in delta waves. Consuming alcohol causes brain activity during sleep to happen in alpha waves. Alpha waves are generally only seen in brain activity when we're awake, but resting. We all know that resting on the couch isn't the same thing as getting a good night's sleep, so it's no wonder that people who drink regularly often feel tired and fatigued during the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You may be thinking, "But I always fall asleep faster when I drink!" That may be true, but it's only for a little while. A review of several studies found that even if alcohol helps you fall asleep more quickly and deeply at first, the quality of your sleep suffers overall, leaving you feeling tired the next day. So while you may have a hard time falling asleep at first when you stop drinking, you'll be more refreshed the next day.</div>

For a generous portion of her career, actress Julia Roberts was considered America's sweetheart. She shot to fame in the early '90s as the street-walking star of Pretty Woman. Her infectious, toothy grin and girl-next-door Southern charm won Hollywood's heart, but there is also a shady and less polished side to Roberts that isn't often discussed in the media. The actress herself has admitted to making mistakes in the past, telling Harper's Bazaar in 2017 that "I was my priority, a selfish little brat running around making films." And with that, here are some controversial moments that have tarnished Robert's silver screen crown.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Julia Roberts reportedly hooked up with her ex's friend</span><br />

In 1991, Julia Roberts was set to marry Kiefer Sutherland, who was quite the stud in his pre-Jack Bauer years. She called off the engagement just three days before the nuptials. According to the New York Daily News, Roberts allegedly thought her fiancé was cheating on her with a stripper. What's so wrong about a bride-to-be shutting down a wedding due to fidelity concerns? Nothing.<br />
<br />
It was what Julia Roberts did immediately after she ended the relationship that makes you go hmm. According to People, she fled to Ireland and sought comfort from actor Jason Patric, a friend of Sutherland. On the eve of what would have been her wedding day, she went to a photo shoot reportedly wearing a "Notre Dame baseball cap suspiciously identical to the one worn around town by Patric." Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Julia Roberts broke Lyle Lovett's heart</span><br />

Julia Roberts married oddly coifed country singer Lyle Lovett in 1993. They swapped vows after a three-week courtship, and she even went barefoot at their wedding. The odd couple seemed to share a sweet romance, or so it seemed on the surface. Imagine everyone's surprise when, just 21 months later, the pair issued a brief statement to announce its separation: "We remain close and in great support of each other."<br />
<br />
The timing was terrible, and it seemed like Lovett got the short end of the stick. Roberts was in London shooting Mary Reilly, while Lovett was in Houston recovering from a motorcycle accident. (That doesn't sound like "great support" on Roberts' part.) Though the statement was a joint affair, fans felt like a doting Lovett had been put out to pasture as his wife's fame soared. Not long before the breakup, he'd talked happily about trying to start a family when Roberts finished filming — an idea that seemed unrealistic considering he also told People they had never spent seven straight days together.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Did Roberts wear a shady T-shirt to target her man's ex-wife?</span><br />

That infamous baseball cap isn't the only time Julia Roberts has been accused of throwing shade with her fashion choices. She reportedly started dating now-husband Danny Moder in 2000, while Moder was still married to his first wife, makeup artist Vera Steimberg. In 2001, Roberts was spotted traipsing around in full view of paparazzi wearing a T-shirt that read "A Low Vera." That photo reportedly didn't sit well with Moder's family. A source told People that Moder's father was perturbed by Roberts' seemingly petty sartorial selection, especially since Steimberg was close with Moder's family.<br />
<br />
Roberts never expressed remorse for that notorious outfit. She later told Oprah Winfrey, "I stand by my shirt," pointing the finger at the tabloid press who "dramatize these things until there's a state of frenzy. People see frenzy and they go, 'What?' Then they clamor toward the frenzy. We all do it. It's a primal, natural response." Was that an intellectual moment or just another sick burn — perhaps one requiring some soothing A Low Vera? (Sorry, we couldn't resist.)<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Julia Roberts allegedly spun her breakup with Benjamin Bratt to hurt him</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Life & Style reported that not only did Julia Roberts pursue married Danny Moder "in a big way," but she supposedly dropped her four-year relationship with actor Benjamin Bratt to go after the cameraman. She allegedly took the shade up a notch by spinning the press in her favor.<br />
<br />
The Bratt breakup was "a lot nastier than anyone ever knew," an insider told the National Enquirer. "They accused each other of cheating, and Ben finally said he'd had enough. Julia has always said she walked out on him, but it was the other way around. And Julia claimed she ended the relationship because he couldn't commit. That had Ben seeing red. He was the one who wanted to settle down and start a family, but Julia refused." Ouch.<br />

Rumor has it that Julia Roberts allegedly didn't take much issue with pursuing Danny Moder while he was married to then-wife Vera Steimberg, but the A-list actress supposedly did worry about her reputation taking a hit because of it. Take all this with a huge helping of salt, but according to Radar Online, Roberts may have offered Steimberg $100,000 to divorce Moder. The tabloid also claimed that Moder's sister kept a diary while in rehab that accused Roberts of destroying her brother's marriage and fracturing the family.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, an insider told Life & Style that Roberts was mortified by the "homewrecker" label with which she'd been slapped, calling it "an absolute PR disaster." Some sources claimed Roberts' focus on family life and charity work was born of a desire to combat her portrayal in the press as some sort of villainous minx. "Being as down-to-earth and unHollywood as possible has made Hollywood embrace her again," one insider said.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Julia Roberts was nicknamed 'Tinkerhell'</span><br />

When Steven Spielberg directed Hook, he cast Julia Roberts as the magical fairy Tinkerbell in the Peter Pan adaptation. By the time the credits rolled, she'd been nicknamed "Tinkerhell." The handle spread like wildfire, and this was back in 1991, before social media and all things viral! During an interview on 60 Minutes, Spielberg was asked about Roberts' professionalism. He replied, "It was an unfortunate time for us to work together."<br />
<br />
Roberts never grew out of that reputation, despite playing nice in nearly every interview about it. "Hand to God: not a thing I read about that was truthful, and it really hurt my feelings," she told Vanity Fair. Regarding Spielberg's comments, she said, "I couldn't believe that this person that I knew and trusted was actually hesitating to come to my defense. It was a hard lesson to learn. It was the first time that I felt I had a turncoat in my midst." As they say, heavy is the head that wears the crown.<br />

Jim Carrey's wild personality, kooky facial expressions, and outlandish sense of humor have been making the world chuckle since the '80s. After snagging a gig on The Tonight Show at the age of 21, he parlayed his newfound success into a recurring spot on the '90s sketch comedy show In Living Color. He tickled our funny bones as he depicted memorable characters, such as Fire Marshall Bill and the buff bodybuilder Vera de Milo, and it was clear as day that Carrey had no limit to how far he would go to bring laughter into his fans' lives.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Box office success soon followed, with movies such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber, but despite his accomplishments, he has struggled with inner turmoil that manifested itself during his childhood and wreaked havoc in his life well into his adult years. This is the tragic real-life story of Jim Carrey.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He grew up terrified that the Grim Reaper would come for his parents</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-jim-carrey/his-intense-fear-of-the-grim-reaper-1523372731.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-jim-carrey/his-intense-fear-of-the-grim-reaper-1523372731.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Jim Carrey grew up grappling with a fear that his parents, who were "heavy smokers" weren't going to survive. "I remember locking myself in the bathroom and crying because I thought they were going to die. They banged on the door, telling me to come out. I don't know if I got over that fear at that time; it was just kind of with me," he told The Hollywood Reporter. His fears heightened as his mom freely talked about her own mortality. "I remember being seven years old and my mother at the dinner table saying things like, 'My brain is deteriorating at an incredible rate!' or 'My angina's acting up; I could go at any time!'" he recalled. "Things like that would just shake me to the core."<br />
<br />
Those tragic childhood circumstances inspired Carrey to pen 2013 children's book, How Roland Rolls, which tackles some of the serious topics that affect young people. "One of the things I've always wanted to talk about or deal with is the fact that kids have profound feelings and profound questions that people don't give them credit for. They think about life and death and 'What happens when something happens to Mom? What happens when something happens to me?'"<br />
<br />
Carrey eventually came to grips with his mom's outspoken banter, realizing it was her way of "getting attention and getting love," — but it was at the cost of scaring the bejesus out of him.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Carrey dropped out of school to support his impoverished family</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-jim-carrey/he-dropped-out-of-school-1523372018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-jim-carrey/he-dropped-out-of-school-1523372018.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div id="amzn-assoc-ad-610f0169-271d-4e2a-8373-7a9cf9642d1d"></div><script async src="//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=610f0169-271d-4e2a-8373-7a9cf9642d1d"></script>
At the age of 10, Carrey wrote a heartfelt letter to The Carol Burnett Show in hopes of showing off his "150 voices" on the program. He waited for a reply and was finally greeted with a rejection letter from the TV personality, who told him the program was "just grown-ups" and encouraged Carrey to "stay in school, study hard."<br />
<br />
Sadly, Carrey wasn't able to heed her advice after his father lost his job as an accountant. In order to help his family make ends meet, the Bruce Almighty star dropped out of school on his 16th birthday, according to CBS News. "We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors." There was a bright side to his early exit from school. Carrey was determined not to be a looo-hoo-zuh-her, so he spent his time away from the classroom working on his comedy act "full-time." And, boy, did that pay off.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">His mirror was his only friend</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Jim Carrey also dealt with bouts of loneliness as a child, which he described in a December 1984 issue of Interview magazine. When asked if his childhood was unusual in any sort of way, he made the startling admission: "Well, I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize," he said. He went on to say that he would spend "hours" making faces at himself in front of the mirror, but he described the memory in a nostalgic way by claiming he was just "having a good time."<br />
<br />
While chatting with James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio (via the Daily Mail), the Liar Liar actor shared more secrets about his life of solitude, but he hinted that his aversion to being a social butterfly may have been self-imposed. After dropping out of school, he said he went from being a "straight-A student to not wanting to know anybody's name, and not wanting to make a friend."<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Carrey's family was homeless and lived in a van</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-jim-carrey/his-became-a-homeless-teen-1523372018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-jim-carrey/his-became-a-homeless-teen-1523372018.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The Carrey family's financial hardships meant tough times were abundant. The comedian revealed in an interview with Inside the Actors Studio (via People), that he and his family even had to live "in a van for a while."<br />
<br />
However, Jim Carrey managed to turn those difficult times into a source of laughter: "A lot of people don't know this but when I was about 14 or 15, my father lost his job and I actually became homeless for quite some time, but of course, I grew up in Canada and I thought we'd gone camping," he says in one of his earlier comedy skits. Thankfully, those difficult days are now over, and Carrey has used his fortunes to give his lifestyle a complete 180, like the time he purchased a beachside Malibu home that he later sold for a whopping $13.4 million. Cha-ching!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He killed at The Comedy Store ... but not in the good way</span><br />
<br />

During The Hollywood Reporter's June 2019 roundtable chat with other Hollywood comedy legends, Jim Carrey revealed a particularly tragic evening he endured as a fledgling stand-up comic. Describing a disastrous set at Los Angeles' famous Comedy Store as "an exercise in self-punishment and punishment for [the audience]," Carrey said he refused to leave the stage "for two hours" even though the crowd hated him so much that audience members literally threw chairs.<br />
<br />
"I finally got offstage to huge applause just because I mentioned I was going to leave the stage," Carrey said, adding, "Then I crawled through the audience on my hands and knees, popped up behind the piano and started banging on the keys, singing, 'I hate you all, you gave me cancer.'" The 250-person crowd didn't love that either, and all but five people supposedly walked out. Though Carey was clearly working through some issues and was the antagonist in the situation, he left the show feeling devastated. "I got in the car and I cried all the way home," he said, "Because I don't want to make people unhappy."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Jim Carrey has suffered from depression</span><br />
<br />

In an interview with CNN's Larry King, Jim Carrey described himself as a "weird, serious person," and he dove deeper into that topic when he chatted with iNews. His "serious" personality isn't one the public gets to see often, and it could be attributed to the actor's struggle with depression. He revealed that it took him some time, but he was able to get to a point where he was "sometimes happy."<br />
<br />
After gradually ditching Prozac, abstaining from alcohol and drugs, and limiting his coffee intake, Carrey found that his mental wellness improved. To keep depression at bay, he looked toward the spiritual side of his life. "Jesus. I'm a Buddhist, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian. I'm whatever you want me to be," he told 60 Minutes. "It all comes down to the same thing … You are either in a loving place, or you are in an unloving place. If you are with me right now, you cannot be unhappy. It's not possible, just try."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He became 'obsessed' with art to mend his 'broken heart'</span><br />

We've seen Jim Carrey hit up the red carpet with a bevy of beautiful women, but one of his most well-known relationships was with fellow actress and comedienne Jenny McCarthy. After five years together, the couple announced its breakup. "Those moments where you saw us together, was it love? You're damned right it was," McCarthy told Oprah Winfrey in September 2010. "The problem is there wasn't a photographer when the times were rough."<br />
<br />
After going their separate ways, Carrey turned to art as a form of therapy. In the documentary, Jim Carrey: I Needed Color, he said painting and creating clay sculptures helped him "heal a broken heart." Although he didn't mention McCarthy by name, the timeline of their breakup coincided with his foray into the art world. "When I really started painting a lot, I had become so obsessed that there was nowhere to move in my home. Paintings were everywhere, they were becoming part of the furniture. I was eating on them," he said<span style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He's been called 'a hard guy to date'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Jim Carrey has had a long list of leading women in and out of his life. He married actress Melissa Womer in 1987, and they had a daughter, Jane, before they went their separate ways. He married his Dumb and Dumber co-star, Lauren Holly, in 1996, but she filed for divorce in July 1997. A string of rocky relationships followed, including a broken engagement to his Me, Myself & Irene co-star Renée Zellweger (pictured).<br />
<br />
After news broke that his aforementioned romance with Jenny McCarthy was on the skids, those close to the actor spoke out about Carrey's relationship style in unflattering terms. One source labeled the comedian "a hard guy to date," telling People that "Jim can run hot and he can run cold. He is someone who desperately needs to be with someone, then just as desperately needs to be alone. But at the same time, he can be a very loving, very compassionate guy."<br />

Paul swears by applying a special elixir <em class="bb-em" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">before</em> shampooing to help repair hair and give it some serious gloss, which is exactly why he developed the <a class="bb-a" href="https://www.windleandmoodie.com/hairproducts/shop/essential-oils-elixir/" style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(44, 55, 129, 0.25); box-sizing: border-box; color: #373330; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 2px; text-decoration-line: none;">Essential Oils Elixir</a>, £30. Handy.</div>
<div class="bb-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #373330; font-family: Graphik, sans-serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px;">
"This treatment serves to deeply nourish, repair and boost shine in one simple step before shampooing," Paul explained. "It is specifically designed to target dry, damaged and colour-treated hair for a glamorous and ultra-soft style."</div>
<div class="bb-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #373330; font-family: Graphik, sans-serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px;">
The pre-shampoo treatment is formulated with apricot, coconut, camellia and oat oils, making it super nourishing. The 98% natural oil formula apparently provides a long-lasting sheen - we tried it and can attest it works. All you need to do is twist and massage the oil into your hair, and leave it for 15 minutes before shampooing.</div>

Who knew achieving glossy hair could be so easy?</div>

Now you've sorted your pre-shampoo treatments, Holly Willoughby's hairdresser, Ciler Peksah, at a Soap & Glory launch, has shared her top hair washing hacks.</div>

A lot of people just pump, pump, pump and then put shampoo and conditioner directly onto the hair but you actually need to section it into four strands, then rotate each section of the hair. This will help stimulate the scalp.<br />
<span class="bb-strong" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />WASH THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD</span></div>
<div class="bb-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #373330; font-family: Graphik, sans-serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px;">
A lot of people don’t wash the back of their head properly. It’s very important to move the hair around. If you just let the water run down and don’t move the hair around, you’ll get build-up resulting in an irritated scalp and itchiness behind the ears.</div>

Sometimes people say "my hair’s not gross but my hairline is really greasy". This is because when we wear <a class="bb-a" href="https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/topic/makeup" style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(44, 55, 129, 0.25); box-sizing: border-box; color: #373330; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 2px; text-decoration-line: none;">makeup</a> or apply face cream, it goes directly onto our hairline, which causes grease to build-up.</div>

As long as you’ve jet washed the scalp and rinsed really well on top, don’t stress about completely rinsing the conditioner from the length. The hair on top is always going to be shiny and healthy because it’s in the roots but the length is old so leaving a bit of conditioner or mask in the length helps give nourishment throughout the day. When I’m on holiday and my hair is so dry, I even use conditioner as a styling product.<br />
<span class="bb-strong" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />OR SWAP CONDITIONER FOR A MASK</span></div>

Cleansing shampoos strip the nourishment from your hair so I use a mask as my conditioner. It really feeds in moisture in a way that conditioner does not.</div>

I spent many years trying to figure out how to heal my <a data-tag="acne" href="https://www.sheknows.com/tags/acne/" id="auto-tag_acne" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: #8b9092; text-decoration-line: none; text-rendering: auto; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;">acne</a>, and I eventually made a career out helping women who have the same struggle.</div>

A lot of things that can contribute to acne, and the last thing you want to do is make the problem worse. Unfortunately, I see a lot of people do just that without realizing it.</div>

Many people think acne is a topical problem, so they rely solely on topical products. Products can help, but more doesn’t mean better.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
Acne-prone skin is often sensitive to products and ingredients. The more you use, the more breakouts you’re likely to cause.</div>

<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">My tip</em>: Keep to the basics. Use a gentle cleanser, a toner and a simple moisturizer. Use a spot treatment on occasion, and try to find products with as few ingredients as possible.</div>

Still clinging to a topical solution, many people use harsh, aggressive products to fight acne.</div>

These products leave skin vulnerable and less able to fight infection, and some products potentially causes as much acne as it treats.</div>

<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">My tip</em>: Use milder products that promote healing, and save anything aggressive for occasional spot treatment.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Over-exfoliating</strong></h3>

The upper layer of your skin protects your skin and maintains the water and oil balance. Constantly stripping away that outer layer can lead to skin vulnerability, irritation and inflammation — which won’t help your acne.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">My tip</em>: Exfoliate no more than twice a week if you use a buffing exfoliator. If using a product that chemically exfoliates — such as with enzymes — use it for a few weeks, then take a week off. Always be extremely gentle if you have active acne.</div>

Popping pimples has a lot of potential problems — and zero benefits.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
The pore is already in a very delicate state, so popping it is likely to cause more damage and increase the likelihood of scarring. You may rupture the pore lining, pushing that “gunk” into the bloodstream, making the infection worse and irritating other pores around it. You could also permanently damage the pore opening, resulting in a larger pore that is more likely to have problems in the future.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">My tip</em>: Whenever you feel the urge to pop, try distracting yourself and doing something else with your hands. No joke, I used to kept bubble wrap in my bathroom so I could pop <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">it</em> instead of my pimples!</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Analyzing every pore on your face</strong></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
Another common habit for those with acne is constantly looking over every inch of skin. It’s the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing before going to bed.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
You may think it’s helpful trying to decide if your skin is better or worse, counting how many new pimples showed up, debating if that pimple on your chin is bigger — but it’s not.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
Over-analyzing your skin can create stress and anxiety, and stress leads to breakouts. So in a way, by constantly paying attention to your acne, you’re keeping it there.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.625rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">My tip</em>: Set a timer when you go into the bathroom that gives you just enough time to wash up. You’ll be less likely to hang around the mirror and analyze your skin. If you cannot resist the urge, seriously consider covering the bathroom mirror for a while. I had to do that!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3b3e3f; font-family: "PT Serif", serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; margin-top: 0.625rem;">
Breaking these habits and following my suggestions will go a long way in letting your skin heal and prevent you from sabotaging your skin care efforts.</div>

You don't need a degree in dermatology to realize that sleeping with your makeup on is a horrible idea. It's not good for your skin or your sheets. You might think, It's late. I'm tired. What's the harm of crashing out without washing my face just this once? Well, it causes more harm than you might think. Going to be bed without washing your face is bad news and can have a cumulative harmful effect. Here's the icky stuff that happens to your skin, your lashes, and beneath the surface when you nix removing your makeup before bedtime.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pores get clogged</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/pores-get-clogged-1496197315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/pores-get-clogged-1496197315.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Sleeping with makeup on is murder on your pores. "Going to bed with makeup on will leave you with clogged pores, since so many makeup [products] have ingredients like silicones that block the pores," Debra Jalman, a New York City-based, board-certified dermatologist and author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets From A Top New York Dermatologist, tells me. "When the pores are blocked, your skin gets bumpy. If you are acne-prone, it can even lead to breakouts." You are effectively damaging skin by neglecting to remove makeup at the end of the day.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You get acne</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/you-get-acne-1496197315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/you-get-acne-1496197315.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Beverly Hills dermatologist Dr. Harold Lancer points to the fact that our skin never stops working, just like our hearts never stop beating. He tells me, "Just like our internal organs, our skin is always at work. Skin is made up of water, protein, lipids, and different minerals and chemicals. Skin is also covered in pores, which allow us to sweat and secrete sebum, a natural lubricant that moisturizes skin and removes dead skin cells and other irritants from our pores. When you apply makeup, you block your pores from releasing sebum, which may lead to visibly larger pores and acne overtime."<br />
<br />
Dr. J. Matthew Knight of FAAD Knight Dermatology Institute also notes that "the mechanical pressure of your face on a pillow can grind makeup into hair follicles, leading to clogged pores acne." Losing a few minutes of shut eye in favor making use of some cold cream and face wash doesn't seem like such a hassle when you think of it from that perspective, does it?<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">You damage skin cells</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Skin cells are also damaged by the practice of sleeping in makeup. Dr. Knight sums it up best, saying, "Makeup can trap environmental pollutants and free-radicals that can damage skin cells, including collagen, leading to premature skin aging." So not only does crashing out with your concealer on ultimately clog pores and lead to zits, but it can also speed up the aging process. Ack.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Your skin becomes dull</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/your-skin-becomes-dull-1496197315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/your-skin-becomes-dull-1496197315.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Dewy, glowing, soft, and smooth skin is usually a desired trait. Dull, sallow, or parched skin is not. If you use a makeup product, like a highlighter, to impart some peachy pink glow, that's great. But sleeping in it can cause the opposite effect. "Our skin is the largest organ of our body and it performs vital functions for our body, like secreting sweat, excreting lipids, healing wounds and heat regulation," New York-licensed esthetician and makeup artist Liz Donat tells me.<br />
<br />
"So it is imperative that we cleanse and exfoliate it regularly and we especially do not sleep in our makeup! Clogged pores and blackheads, aka comedones, are formed when dead skin cells, oil and makeup get trapped in the pores and suffocate the skin," she continued. "These clogged pores are the pre-cursor to acne-like breakouts and make the skin look dull and lifeless." That's reason enough to reach for a makeup remover wipe or a washcloth, no matter how late it is or no matter how tired you are.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You interfere with the reparatory process</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/you-interfere-with-the-reparatory-process-1496197315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/what-really-happens-when-you-sleep-in-makeup/you-interfere-with-the-reparatory-process-1496197315.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Our bodies regenerate while we are at rest. The same holds true for our skin. Lancer says, "Skin repairs itself while we sleep, so taking off your makeup at night is important because it allows your pores to release sebum that rehydrates and protects your skin from free radicals in the air." If you leave makeup on, it disrupts these critical processes.<br />

As stated, when you sleep, skin regenerates and heals itself. One night of sleeping with makeup on can and will disrupt the delicate balance of your skin and set you back. Dermatologist Dr. Kathy Taghipour of Savana Urban Spa tells me, "When you sleep, your skin regenerates. When your pores are blocked, your skin can't breathe, and thus it can't regenerate. The oil in your pores build-up and transform itself into a bacteria, which can lead to various skin problems. After a night with your makeup on, your skin will need about a week to restore its previous condition and to balance again everything." A whole week? It's not worth it. Take that makeup off, people!<br />

You may have first seen her in Red Dawn or Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but there's no denying that Jennifer Grey's most iconic role is Frances "Baby" Houseman in 1987's Dirty Dancing. Now more than 30 years old, the beloved movie is a favorite of people of all ages and, despite its 1960s setting, somehow feels truly timeless. Although a 2017 television remake tried to capture some of that charm, it was ultimately a flop. While Abigail Breslin did her best to channel Baby, many were left wondering what happened to the original Baby after all these years. So just what has Jennifer Grey been up to since carrying that watermelon? We've got the answers!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">She was in a car accident with Matthew Broderick</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-the-girl-from-dirty-dancing/she-was-in-a-car-accident-with-matthew-broderick-1507144429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-the-girl-from-dirty-dancing/she-was-in-a-car-accident-with-matthew-broderick-1507144429.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Even if you remember that Grey played Matthew Broderick's sister in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, you may not remember that she was also in a relationship with Broderick. Even more under the radar, then, is the fact that Grey and Broderick were in a serious car accident just before Dirty Dancing was released. While on vacation in Ireland, the pair were in a rented car when Broderick (who was driving) collided head on with another driver, killing two people.<br />
<br />
While Grey only suffered bumps and bruises externally, the accident left her with emotional scars. "I became America's sweetheart within five days of the accident," she told People in 2010. "The juxtaposition of that deep sorrow, the survivor's guilt … and then being celebrated as the new big thing just didn't jibe. It didn't feel good to be the toast of the town."<br />
<br />
So Grey didn't relish her newfound fame like she likely would have otherwise, choosing instead to take a bit of a step back. "The impact was emotional and physical," she said in the People interview. "My body was never the same, my head was never the same, my ambition was never the same."<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
While Grey didn't embrace her Dirty Dancing fame the way she might have if not for the accident, she did take on another silver screen role when she starred alongside Madonna and Matt Dillon in Bloodhounds of Broadway in 1989. While Grey's performance was met with mixed reviews (Variety said she did "a good job"), the film was met with overall negative reviews (with The New York Times noting that it "never gets going"). But if nothing else, Grey's duet with Madonna showed audiences that not only could she dance, she could also sing.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">She dated Johnny Depp</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After her relationship with Matthew Broderick, Grey was linked to another Hollywood actor. After A Nightmare on Elm Street, but before Cry Baby and Edward Scissorhands, none other than Johnny Depp wooed Grey. While they were only together for a year, and famously only appeared in a single photograph together, the two were actually engaged during their short romance. Given the current state of Depp's personal and financial life, we'd say the actress probably dodged a bullet. (Add that to things we never thought we'd say a couple of years ago.)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">She got a nose job</span><br />

While 1989 might have been the year she was in a movie with Madonna as well as the year she was engaged to Johnny Depp, it wasn't all positive. It was also the year she got the nose job that changed everything. Well, sort of. It was 1989 when Grey got her first nose job, a decision that People notes was a choice that perhaps "most ambitious people would not have made" as it "radically altered her appearance" in the long run. But that could have been because fame wasn't really what Grey was after, with the impact of the car accident with Broderick still lingering. "I really felt like I wanted to be a wife and a mom," she told People, but her acting days were not yet over.<br />

Here’s something pot-using teens should remember: Swearing off marijuana for a month may improve memory.</div>

A new study from Massachusetts General Hospital offers “convincing evidence” that adolescents and young adults who abstain from marijuana for 30 days are better at acquiring and storing new information compared to their counterparts who persist in the pot puffing.<br />

The memory improvements — specifically the capacity to absorb new information and access it at a later date — could be seen as early as a week into abstinence, researchers said in the findings, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.</div>

“Declarative memory, particularly encoding of novel information, was the aspect of memory most impacted by cannabis abstinence,” it concluded.</div>

“This study provides convincing evidence that adolescents and young adults may experience improvement in their ability to learn new information when they stop using cannabis,” they wrote, noting adolescent marijuana use is “widespread” and will likely increase. Researchers worked from a sample of 88 Boston-area marijuana smokers between the age of 16 and 25. The people selected to forgo marijuana had to take urine tests.</div>

In fact, some teens are more likely to use weed than they are to drink alcohol. The majority of the 55 million recreational marijuana users in the U.S. are millennials, according to a 2017 Yahoo News poll. Meanwhile, millennials drink far less alcohol than past generations, an annual national survey of 50,000 adolescents and young adults in America from the Monitoring the Future Study found.</div>

The study comes as fully legalized marijuana use is taking root in some parts of the U.S. and nationwide in Canada. Recreational marijuana use is legal for ages 21 and up in the District of Columbia and nine states, including Massachusetts.</div>

Other states, including New Jersey, are eyeing full legalization. Medical marijuana is legal in another 22 states, as doctors note the drug’s benefits for conditions like chronic pain and glaucoma. Canada legalized the use of recreational marijuana on Oct. 17.</div>

“In this era of widespread cannabis legalization, we need to be mindful of more prevention programs for adolescents and young adults,” Randi Schuster, the study’s lead author, told MarketWatch. The study noted that two years ago high-school senior perceptions of regular marijuana use as harmful were “at or near historic lows.”</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Schuster, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and senior author A. Eden Evins noted that the findings focus on a critical time in a person’s life, while their brain is still maturing and they are going to school.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Evins, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, said the study included “weekend users” who might be under the impression that a hazy Saturday night didn’t matter for an upcoming test. “That may not be the case,” Evins said. “They may be okay for the test in a week’s time.”</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The authors said the study was the first of its kind to examine whether cognitive improvement happened with abstinence, and when that improvement happened. “What we found was surprising,” said Schuster. There was a lot of improvement in just one week, the study found.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The tell-tale differences were found in participants’ ability to absorb new information, like a broader vocabulary. “Those who maintained abstinence learned more words than those who continued to use cannabis,” the study said.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Experimenters acknowledged they lacked a non-using control group to measure the improvements. A broader version of the experiment is planned, using 13- to 19-year-olds and a control group comprised of people, Schuster said.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The forthcoming study will look into memory and attention, but also other mental tasks like decision-making, she noted. Including a non-using control will help researchers determine if abstinence returns certain cognitive tasks back to a normal baseline, Schuster said. Findings are expected in about a year.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The newly-released study noted marijuana is thought to impact brain maturation through tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the chemical that causes the user’s high and the study involved changes in THC levels.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.8em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But there’s a whole other angle to the budding cannabis market, and its effects are still being studied as well.<a class="icon none" href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/everything-you-need-to-know-about-cbd-the-cannabis-elixir-that-doesnt-get-you-high-2018-10-29" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #648c94; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Another component of marijuana is cannabidiol,</a>which reportedly helps with anxiety and inflammation without any high.

It may come as no surprise to you that Oprah Winfrey has owned (and still owns) some pretty epic properties. From her former dual Chicago condos — one with 4,607 square feet of space and the other 9,625 — to her gorgeous Hawaiian farmhouse, few homes compare to Winfrey's. Her most extraordinary property, however, is her Montecito, California estate.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
At 23,000 square feet, the Neo-Georgian mansion is not only gargantuan but also undeniably beautiful, as one would expect. However, the talk show queen's home and surrounding property look quite a bit different than you're probably imagining. We did some digging and found pictures to give give you a sneak peek into her not-so-humble abode. Winfrey has shown to be quite the private person when it comes to her personal space, so where we couldn't find pictures, we dug up detailed descriptions so you can imagine yourself right there with Ms. Winfrey herself.<br />

Winfrey's house is not small by any stretch of the imagination but, it is located in the relatively small town of Montecito, California. Part of Santa Barbara, Montecito features long stretches of coastline, great restaurants, and boutique shops. Oh, and a spectacular handful of celebrities including Jeff Bridges, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rob Lowe, Ellen Degeneres, and, of course, Winfrey.<br />
<br />
Degeneres even termed the town "the greatest community." That's pretty exciting. Though, if you decide to visit, Santa Barbara's tourism site advises, "don't make a fuss if you see a famous face." Imagine coming face-to-face with the Oprah Winfrey and not making a scene. Surely easier said than done.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's symbolic of freedom</span><br />

Winfrey may have the pleasure of living in a great community, but privacy is no doubt still important to the media mogul. Her huge private property is just the place to unwind and relax in silence. It is also quite symbolic to Winfrey. According to an interview with Vogue, Winfrey's Montecito estate is set on 65 landscaped acres of land that she calls the Promised Land. Why the biblical name?<br />
<br />
She had been looking to buy a Southern plantation when she stumbled upon the property in California. Although about as far from the southeast as you can get, the home had the plantation look and feel. "I was calling it Tara II," Winfrey explained the property's original name to Vogue. Tara was the name of the O'Hara Planatation in Gone With the Wind. Her mind was changed one day when walking the property with her fitness guru and friend, Bob Greene. He explained to Winfrey that Scarlett O'Hara's plantation paled in comparison and, because of that, Winfrey should come up with a better and more-fitting name.<br />
<br />
He told her, "The fact that you are an African-American woman from Mississippi and you get to have this … it's deep." Just then, the ideal name came to him. He exclaimed, "It's a promise! It's the Promised Land!" And so, the Promised Land estate was born.<br />
<br />
"I feel that every day," she told Vogue, "… just absolute joyful contentment."<br />

Keeping with the biblical theme, Winfrey also made room on her property to house the 12 apostles. If you're scratching your head wondering how that's possible, the 12 apostles in Winfrey's Promised Land are actually a grove of trees — 12 giant mature oaks — that Winfrey symbolically named "the Apostles," according to Vogue.<br />
<br />
Fittingly, Winfrey also named the path leading to to the trees "Hallelujah Lane." The branches of the mega "Apostles" intertwine above and beside the path forming a "gorgeous, spooky tangle." Winfrey even has her favorite oak — Mark, Matthew, John? — and shared a photo of it on her personal Instagram, encouraging fans to post pictures of their favorite trees as well.<br />
<br />
Although Winfrey's home is rich with spiritual metaphors, that's far from its only features.<br />

The Bible is not the only sacred text in Winfrey's household, it seems. Vogue detailed the open-air stone teahouse Winfrey had built on the property to serve as a quiet space to read The New York Times and drink tea. Now that is living the dream.<br />
<br />
"I wanted it to be intimate and to feel like a hug," she told Nate Berkus in a sneak peek for Us Weekly. What you won't find is a bathroom in Winfrey's embrace-like structure. "You don't want to even be here in this small space and hear somebody else flushing the toilet," she told Berkus. She clarified by saying she can turn on fountains surrounding the teahouse if one wants the sound of running water but the two concurred the sound of a toilet flushing was not exactly peaceful.<br />
<br />
According to Oprah magazine, Winfrey first planned the building to be a cutting room for flowers, but decided as it was being built that she wanted a space for herself. After it was built, Ellie Cullman, Winfrey's interior designer, added green wicker furnishings. She may only visit her teahouse several times a year, but just knowing it exists makes her happy. "It's my dream, having a place like this," she said. When people question why she needs more space, she tells them, "I need it to restore myself." Amen.<br />

Has there ever been a cuter couple than Michelle and Barack Obama? The charming couple enamored the world before ever setting foot in the White House, and continues to do so years after the end of Barack's presidency. Together with their daughters, Sasha and Malia, the former first family is still beloved, and their life seems like the stuff of fairy tales.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Things have not always been easy for the Obamas, though. Michelle and Barack have an epic love story that spans decades, but, like any other couple, have faced their fair share of hardships. In many ways, their challenges were even greater because they have been in the public eye for so long. Yet, through it all, they manage to stay happy and in love. What's their secret? To figure that out, we need to take a closer look at their relationship. Here's everything you didn't know about the Obamas' marriage.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sparks flew from their very first meeting</span><br />
<br />

While they were drawn to each other from the first time they met, Michelle was reluctant to date Barack. She was 25 and he was 27, but as a first year associate at Chicago's Sidley & Austin, a corporate law firm, Michelle was Barack's mentor when the first-year law student worked at the firm in the summer of 1989. "He sounded too good to be true," Michelle told David Mendell, author of Obama: From Promise to Power (via The Washington Post). She initially dismissed him as a "good-looking, smooth-talking guy." The fact that he was her subordinate, and her belief that "the only two black people" at the firm dating would be "tacky," delayed the beginning of their relationship.<br />
<br />
Barack told Oprah that he was "struck by how tall and beautiful [Michelle] was," saying that working with her was "the luckiest break of my life." After Michelle turned down multiple requests for a date saying it would be inappropriate, she finally agreed to go out with him after he offered to quit his job for her. Michelle took Barack up on the date, but didn't make him leave his job.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Barack's desire to help the African American community won Michelle over</span><br />
<br />

Even after she began dating Barack, Michelle wasn't sure right away that it would work out. Growing up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck, Michelle worried that a life with Barack might be unstable. She told the Hyde Park Herald (via The Washington Post) that the future president "was really broke." He had a "cruddy" wardrobe and a rusted out car. "I thought, 'This brother is not interested in ever making a dime,'" she said.<br />
<br />

</script>
Still, Michelle was drawn to Barack. On a date at a Chicago church, where Barack was meeting with people he had worked with as a community organizer, Michelle saw his passion for helping poor African-Americans. "He talked about the world as it is, and the world as it should be," she said in a speech at the 2008 National Democratic Convention. "And he said that, all too often, we accept the distance between the two, and we settle for the world as it is, even when it doesn't reflect our values and aspirations." Michelle was won over by Barack's idealism, and the rest is history.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Barack didn't want to get married at first, believing it to be a "meaningless institution"</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/things-you-didnt-know-about-the-obamas-marriage/barack-didnt-want-to-get-married-at-first-believing-it-to-be-a-meaningless-institution-1546543872.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/things-you-didnt-know-about-the-obamas-marriage/barack-didnt-want-to-get-married-at-first-believing-it-to-be-a-meaningless-institution-1546543872.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Impossible as it is to imagine, the Obamas' celebrated marriage might not have happened if Michelle had been a little less persistent. At the end of the summer of 1989, Michelle continued to work in Chicago while Barack returned to Harvard to finish law school. According to The Washington Post, Barack was dedicated to the relationship and madly in love with Michelle, but he didn't believe that marriage was necessary, calling it a "meaningless institution."<br />
<br />
Michelle kept turning up the pressure, though, wanting a decades-long marriage like her parents who, at the time, had been going strong for 30 years. In 1991, Barack finally surprised Michelle with a ring after she began to talk once again of marriage, telling her "That kind of shuts you up, doesn't it?" It might not have been the most conventional of proposals, but it was an effective one. The two were married the following year, taking their commitment to the next level.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Struggles with infertility put a strain on their marriage</span><br />
<br />

Life wasn't all smooth sailing for Michelle and Barack once they were wed. In a 2018 interview with Good Morning America, Michelle said that she had suffered a miscarriage 20 years earlier. The loss was a heavy emotional blow. "I felt like I failed because I didn't know how common miscarriages were because we don't talk about them," she said. "We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we're broken."<br />

Michelle underwent fertility treatments to conceive Malia and Sasha, and the process was another ordeal. Michelle had to inject herself daily for several weeks. Barack, who was serving in the state senate at this point, was "swallow[ed up] by work," Michelle wrote in her memoir, Becoming. This, she said, "left me largely on my own to manipulate my reproductive system into peak efficiency." While the process was grueling, Michelle said that Barack remained "sweet" and "attentive" throughout the entire journey.<br />

<a href="https://img.looper.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-jean-claude-van-damme/intro-1505918932.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="780" height="358" src="https://img.looper.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-jean-claude-van-damme/intro-1505918932.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Jean-Claude Van Damme began his public life as a teenager in the 1970s—a Belgian-born martial arts prodigy who became a champion in both karate and kickboxing. In the 1980s and 1990s, the charismatic and photogenic "Muscles from Brussels" became an international movie star with starring roles in fight-focused action hits like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Hard Target, and Timecop. (He even had a cameo as himself on Friends.) And then, just as fast and unlikely as his rise, came the fall. Here's how the man born Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg has occupied himself in recent years.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He returned to the Universal Soldier franchise</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.looper.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-jean-claude-van-damme/he-returned-to-the-universal-soldier-franchise-1538132958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="437" data-original-width="780" height="223" src="https://img.looper.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-jean-claude-van-damme/he-returned-to-the-universal-soldier-franchise-1538132958.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
One of the biggest hits of Van Damme's early career, the 1992 science-fiction action thriller Universal Soldier paired him up with Dolph Lundgren to tell the story of Luc Deveraux, a deceased Vietnam War veteran resurrected by an experimental military program as a technologically enhanced super-soldier.<br />
<br />
While it wasn't a blockbuster sensation, the film performed respectably, bringing in $36 million—enough to inspire plans for a late '90s Universal Soldier TV series which was teased with a pair of direct-to-video movies in 1998. Neither of those sequels starred Van Damme or Lundgren, and when the franchise returned to theaters for 1999's Universal Soldier: The Return, both of the '98 features were bumped out of the series canon.<br />
<br />
Van Damme came back for The Return, and although his presence was no longer enough to bring in big box office, the series has proven impressively resilient: both Van Damme and Lundgren signed on for 2009's Universal Soldier: Regeneration—which ignored the TV movies as well as The Return—and the duo reunited again for the franchise-closing Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning in 2012.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">He's still making Kickboxer movies</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.looper.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-jean-claude-van-damme/hes-still-making-kickboxer-movies-1538132958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.looper.com/img/gallery/whatever-happened-to-jean-claude-van-damme/hes-still-making-kickboxer-movies-1538132958.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Before he expanded his range with science-fiction action movies laced with martial arts, such as Universal Soldier and Timecop, Van Damme played to his background with a string of martial arts-based movies. One of his earliest was 1989's Kickboxer, in which he played, well, a kickboxer.<br />
<br />
Van Damme didn't return for the sequel, but that didn't stop Kickboxer from becoming a full-fledged straight-to-video franchise; for action enthusiasts of the '90s, the series became a Friday night mainstay, expanding to an impressive five installments by 1995 while serving up loads of chop-socky action with replacement leading men like Step by Step veteran Sasha Mitchell and future Iron Chef America star Mark Dacascos.<br />
<br />
After laying dormant for more than 20 years, the Kickboxer franchise made a surprising return with 2016's Kickboxer: Vengeance—and Van Damme was once more part of the cast, this time playing a supporting role as a character named Master Durand. If it wasn't quite the starring vehicle the first Kickboxer had been, it must have been a good time for Van Damme—he returned for the the seventh installment, Kickboxer: Retaliation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He got greedy and it hurt his career</span><br />
<br />

Jean-Claude Van Damme reached his commercial peak with Timecop. The 1994 time-travel thriller earned $44 million at the domestic box office—the most of any live-action movie he's toplined. While the stars of other big 1994 hits remain major draws—Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump), Sandra Bullock (Speed), and Jim Carrey (The Mask)—Van Damme's profile fell far faster. Why? Partly because he miscalculated his clout and marketability at a key moment.<br />
<br />
After the success of Timecop, Van Damme was reportedly offered a three-movie deal that would have paid him an astounding $12 million per film. Around the same time, Carrey made headlines by becoming the first $20 million man, so Van Damme rejected the $12 million and asked for the same fee Carrey had negotiated. The three-movie offer was rescinded, and Van Damme ended up on what he later described as a Hollywood "blacklist," effectively ending his blockbuster career.<br />
<br />
"Jim Carrey was being paid a fortune. And I wanted to play with the system," Van Damme told The Guardian in 2012. "Like an idiot. Ridiculous."<br />

Van Damme is famously nicknamed "The Muscles from Brussels," as he was indeed a ripped guy born in the capital city of Belgium. In 2012, Brussels paid tribute to one of its favorite sons with a life-sized bronze statue, forever posed in a fight-ready stance in front of the Westland Shopping Center. A visibly touched Van Damme unveiled the statue himself at a special ceremony in 2012 and spoke at the event, saying the monument "represented the dream of a Brussels kid" and hoping it could serve as a source of inspiration for troubled youth. "If you believe in something strongly enough," he told the crowd, "it can come true."<br />

Keep it natural. Men don’t want to go in for a kiss and come out looking like they just joined the circus. Remember, foundation is supposed to be invisible to others and blend in with your skin. Stay away from glittery or shimmering eye makeup and NEVER use clumpy mascara. Minimal makeup is sexier.</div>

Yes, foundation is supposed to blend and clumpy mascara is no ones friend, but if I want to wear glitter and shimmery eye makeup, I’m gonna wear the fuck out of it.

For the love of all that’s smooth — please shave. Men associate hair with testosterone and testicles so they don’t want to see it on a woman. Men like touching soft skin so say bye bye to the fuzz and make sure you use moisturizers and lotions to keep your skin smooth. It will send the message that you care about your hygiene.</div>

I can’t stop laughing at this. I <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">can’t</em>. I shave dem pits pretty much every three days. I don’t like armpit hair.

In the winter, I shave my legs maybe once every three months. Lady, I live in basically the tundra so I gotta keep warm. If you think I’m wearing anything but pants in the winter, you have another thing coming. In the summer, I shave my legs when I can start feeling the wind all up that bidniz. But because I’ve been #blessed with blonde hair, I don’t shave that often. When it comes to <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">my</em> body, I will go ahead and do what I please.

Let’s face it ladies — men look at our mouths. Bad breath and discoloured teeth are unattractive to the opposite sex. Cut down on the coffee or red wine. Use whitening toothpaste or strips to brighten your smile and ALWAYS carry gum or breath helpers in your purse. You never know when that kiss may be coming.</div>

I don’t drink coffee or red wine but if I did, I probably wouldn’t give it up just to find myself a suitable mate. I basically never have gum or breath helpers (...tic tacs?) in my purse.

There are a lot of not-so-awesome changes that come with getting older. Wrinkles, a slower metabolism, and health problems don't exactly sound like things to look forward to. However, there's one department that doesn't have to change as you age. Regardless of your age, a gorgeous, vibrant haircut is your right as a strong, sexy woman. Don't think you have to kiss your long hair goodbye or give in to the gray hairs taking over. We talked with some of our favorite hairstylists about their tips for the most beautiful styles for their maturing clients.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Change it up</span><br />

All of the stylists I spoke with agreed that the key to a great cut is being brave enough to try something new. One of the fastest ways to look older is keeping the same haircut for decades. As the times and styles change, don't be afraid to update your look. Hairstylist Jenna Mast has seen clients age themselves by hanging onto the same style for way too long. She recommends talking with your stylist about how to update your look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Long bob</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Our stylists could not stop raving about a clean, classic bob. It's simple, low maintenance, and always in style. According to celebrity stylist Mitch Stone, anyone can rock a long bob, regardless of your age. "A cut like this adds instant style and sexy sophistication," he told us. "You can't go wrong."<br />
<br />
Hairstylist, Jenna Mast recommends a modern bob with long layers for her mature clients. "This will give you more movement and an updated look," she told The List. "There is nothing more dating and high maintenance than a stacked bob that needs to be cut every few weeks to keep it's shape."<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Go for bangs</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/gorgeous-haircuts-for-older-women/go-for-bangs-1501601808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/gorgeous-haircuts-for-older-women/go-for-bangs-1501601808.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Celebrity stylist Mitch Stone recommends bangs for any age, but especially for his more mature clients. Bangs are always in style and can complement any face shape – but make sure your stylist understands your face shape first. Stone explains that bangs can immediately change the look of your face, so it gets a little dangerous if your stylist isn't experienced. "They (bangs) can make you look really young and sexy or make your nose or forehead look twice the size," he explains. "It's important to make sure you trust your hairstylist before going for it."<br />
<br />
Stylist Ruth Roche often suggests her mature clients go for bangs that are long and wispy. "Have them trimmed often rather than cutting them shorter so they last longer," she told The List. "Fringes that are too short can look utilitarian and boring."<br />
<br />

When it comes to our hairstyle, so many of us feel that we have to go short as we age. That's what we see all around us, so it can feel like the only option, but don't be afraid to hang on to some length. Jeff Stump, owner of Artkiteks salon explains, "Many people feel that they need to have short hair as they get older. This isn't always the case; it really depends on the texture of the hair and how their hair ages."<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Long bob</span><br />

Our stylists could not stop raving about a clean, classic bob. It's simple, low maintenance, and always in style. According to celebrity stylist Mitch Stone, anyone can rock a long bob, regardless of your age. "A cut like this adds instant style and sexy sophistication," he told us. "You can't go wrong."<br />
<br />
Hairstylist, Jenna Mast recommends a modern bob with long layers for her mature clients. "This will give you more movement and an updated look," she told The List. "There is nothing more dating and high maintenance than a stacked bob that needs to be cut every few weeks to keep it's shape."<br />

Go for bangs<br />

Celebrity stylist Mitch Stone recommends bangs for any age, but especially for his more mature clients. Bangs are always in style and can complement any face shape – but make sure your stylist understands your face shape first. Stone explains that bangs can immediately change the look of your face, so it gets a little dangerous if your stylist isn't experienced. "They (bangs) can make you look really young and sexy or make your nose or forehead look twice the size," he explains. "It's important to make sure you trust your hairstylist before going for it."<br />
<br />
Stylist Ruth Roche often suggests her mature clients go for bangs that are long and wispy. "Have them trimmed often rather than cutting them shorter so they last longer," she told The List. "Fringes that are too short can look utilitarian and boring."<br />

<a href="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-real-reason-we-dont-hear-from-paula-abdul-anymore/intro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-real-reason-we-dont-hear-from-paula-abdul-anymore/intro.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
When Paula Abdul announced she was going on tour with New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men in 2017, it was her first tour announcement in 25 years, according to Billboard. It doesn't seem entirely possible that it's been that long since we've seen Abdul on stage and performing, partially because she's been in the public eye as a judge on American Idol and The X Factor. But just what's been keeping her off the stage — and out of the recording studio — is more complicated than that.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Corey Clark lawsuits</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-real-reason-we-dont-hear-from-paula-abdul-anymore/the-corey-clark-lawsuits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.nickiswift.com/img/gallery/the-real-reason-we-dont-hear-from-paula-abdul-anymore/the-corey-clark-lawsuits.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
During American Idol's second season, contestant Corey Clark was booted from the show for failing to disclose his criminal record when he auditioned. When ET did their round-up of biggest show scandals, Clark made the list — but not for his elimination. Two years after he was dropped off the show, he came forward with the stunning revelation that he had been involved in a torrid affair with Paula Abdul. Clark claimed the fling had lasted for three months, and that she had not only paid him that kind of special attention, but she had given him guidance on how to take home the American Idol trophy, too.<br />
<br />
Abdul's camp denied the entire thing, and denounced it as nothing more than lies. Independent counsel agreed, finding there was absolutely nothing to actually support the claims. Later, Clark would go on to sue others, including Fox, E! Entertainment and MTV for defamation, and filed a petition with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stating that he was the victim of racial discrimination when he was disqualified from American Idol in the first place. The Hollywood Reporter got a hold of the official defamation complaint, which claimed that not only was the investigation done into his accusations a complete sham, but that he had been threatened with legal action to keep him from writing a book on his experiences. He went so far as to say that the entire episode had left him at "absolute rock bottom", and suicidal.<br />
<br />
In 2014, RadarOnline reported that the $120 million lawsuit had been dismissed. No evidence of misconduct was found, there was nothing to support accusations that they had been intimately involved, and the court ruled that Clark had waited too long to file the suit anyway.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tanning troubles</span><br />

In 2014, Abdul was on the giving end of her own lawsuit against UVASUN West, Inc. According to documents acquired by The Hollywood Reporter, Abdul had suffered second- and third-degree burns after a tanning treatment was done wrong. The claim involved her purchase of a SlimStar infrared body wrap treatment, which left her with full-body burns that were particularly bad on her left leg.<br />
<br />
The lawsuit also specified that in addition to her need to seek medical and surgical attention, she was left with permanent injuries and had suffered financial losses during the time she needed to recover. Just how long she was out of the public eye and recovering from her injuries isn't clear, but she also cited mental strain as part of the reason for the lawsuit.<br />

In 2009, Abdul was sued by Jill Kohl. According to Kohl, she fell in Abdul's driveway and was left not only in severe pain after the incident, but needing several back surgeries. The fall, which happened in 2007, happened during the filming of Abdul's reality show Hey Paula.<br />
<br />
E! News reported on the end of the lawsuit, and that only came in February 2012. According to them, the parties' lawyers were able to broker a deal before the case went to trial, and the insurance companies were left to hand out the $900,000 settlement. In addition to that staggering number, Hey Paula's production company, Scott Sternberg Productions, kicked in an additional $100,000. It didn't go unnoticed that the announcement came only a day after Abdul tweeted, "Having a blast on @RoyalCaribbean Oasis of the Seas this week ) so many cool things to do & plenty of sunshine!!"<br />

<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/intro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="360" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/intro.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Whether it's a tropical summer vacation or a night at the club with your besties, there are certain occasions where you just want to show a little skin. And while six-pack abs are never a prerequisite for rocking a teeny bikini or trendy crop top, there's also nothing wrong with getting your fitness on, in preparation for putting your tummy on full display. "The most important part of toning the abs is understanding how to access them," certified Pilates, Yoga and Nutrition Instructor Claudia Matles, told me in an interview. "And truly, the journey of 'getting there' is where the benefits are!"<br />
<br />
Here are eight exercises to help you start transforming your abs in just 30 days.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilates double leg stretch</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/pilates-double-leg-stretch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/pilates-double-leg-stretch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Connecting the breath with the body through specific movements is key for refining the abdominal area, according to Matles. That's why one of her favorite Pilates moves for toning the midsection, is the double leg stretch.<br />
<br />
Start from a seated position on your mat with your legs bent and your feet under your knees. Extend your right leg up to the sky, while extending your left arm straight forward at shoulder height. Then do the same with your left leg and right arm by pressing your navel to your spine. "Imagine a ping pong ball at the inner center of your lower belly," said Matles. "Inhale through the nose, into the ball, exhale [and] shrink the ball, making it tiny toward the center of your belly button by lifting the pelvic floor, pressing navel to spine, and wrapping ribs and hips to the mid line at the core. This is the breath/body connection throughout these exercises which is part of what we call Contrology," she explained.<br />
<br />
Exhale and hold pose by scooping out lower belly and creating the curve in back to maintain. Inhale, then exhale and roll down on your lower back, maintaining the architecture of the chest lifted toward knees throughout the exercise. Repeat (do two sets of 10).<br />
<br />
"This exercise tones the transverse abdominal muscle, rectus abdominal muscle and obliques," said Matles. "You can modify by keeping head and chest on mat."<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilates crisscross</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/pilates-crisscross.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/pilates-crisscross.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The Pilates crisscross is another favorite exercise for Matles as it's a great way to practice that breath-body connection.<br />
<br />
Lie on your mat with a neutral spine (your pelvis should not be tucked or tilted) legs bent, feet under your knees. Interlace fingers behind your head, shoulders soft and down, with wide elbows. "Connect with the ping pong [ball]," said Matles. "Exhale, curl your upper body off the mat leading from the center of the chest by shrinking the ping pong [ball]."<br />
<br />
Inhale. Then exhale and extend your right leg as you rotate the center of chest over to the right (try to keep the elbows wide as you bring the left armpit toward your right knee). Inhale and return to center. Exhale and extend the left leg and rotate the torso to the left. Repeat (do two sets of 10).<br />
<br />
"This exercise tones your obliques, transverse abdominal muscles, and rectus abdominal muscle," Matles told me. "You can always place a yoga block the long way on the floor to rest your feet on, if you'd like to modify."<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Russian twist</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/russian-twist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/russian-twist.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
When it comes to working those stubborn oblique muscles, celebrity trainer Jason Rosell, who's also the creator of the popular Caliente Fitness workout series, loves the Russian twist.<br />
<br />
Starting from a seated position, raise your feet two inches from the floor. Interlock your hands together in front, and begin shifting your body left to right, touching the ground each time for 20 seconds. Want to bump up the intensity? Try holding on to a weighted medicine ball throughout the exercise.<br />
<br />
Fitness expert Dempsey Marks, who created the PreGame Fit wellness plan, is also a big fan of this exercise. "Russian Twist is a fantastic full-core exercise that engages all of your ab muscles including your rectus abdominis, internal obliques, and external obliques," he told me via email. "It also helps strengthen your lower back."<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Caliente kicks</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/caliente-kicks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://img.thelist.com/img/gallery/exercises-that-will-tone-your-abs-in-just-one-month/caliente-kicks.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Similar to the traditional bicycle kick crunches with a twist, Rosell's signature Caliente kicks are a perfect for working both your upper and lower abs.<br />
<br />
"Lay flat on ground and with both hands, grab one ankle," explained Rosell. "Then switch to [the] other ankle and repeat this motion on [the] opposite side for a total of 20 seconds, followed by a 10-second rest. Repeat the same exercise for another 20 seconds until<br />
