Ryan Gosling's Wax Nightmare
Madame Tussauds Berlin has erected a monument of wax (as is their specialty) for the handsome and charming Ryan Gosling.
2017 is the year of Dream Dates at Madame Tussauds Berlin. Ryan Gosling's wax figure is the first of many surprises coming this year.
If you take a trip to Berlin and hit up the famous wax museum, you'll find Mr. Gosling in the "A-List" section alongside stars like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Serious Q: Are they planning on separating Pitt and Jolie, or...
Back to Gosling for a hot second. His new movie La La Land is up for a record tying 14 awards at this year's OSCARs including Best Actor, he and his partner Eva Mendes recently welcomed their second child (the two are parents to Esmeralda, 2, and Amada, 7 months), and he fared well at the Golden Globes. Life's pretty good for the kid from Cornwall, Ontario, so maybe this wax figure is just the universe's way of keeping him grounded?
Either way, it's creeping people out.

In related news, "Pussy Hats" are taking over! You'll see 'em in most of the photos associated with the Women's March on Washington. Pink, hand knit toques with cute cat ears on top have become a symbol of solidarity following Trump's gross convo with Billy Bush from 2005 that was leaked. Women have decided to take back the term and use it to promote strength and solidarity. Plus, who doesn't love a good pink toque?

#JadonandAnias: conjoined twins leading new, separate lives after 27 hour surgery.
I've been following the story of conjoined twins Jadon and Anias McDonald since learning of their life-changing surgery earlier this month (Thurs., Oct. 13). The 13 month old twins underwent a 27 hour surgery performed by leading neurosurgeon in craniopagus surgery, Dr. James Goodrich, at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. Their story is an unusual one and the decision to separate was very hard on parents Nicole and Christian.
“Twins joined at the head, called craniopagus twins, are exceedingly rare, occurring in one out of every 2.5 million births. About 40% of the twins are stillborn, and another third die within 24 hours of their birth. Studies have showed that 80% of twins joined at the head die of medical complications by the age of 2 if not separated. ”
For those following the amazing story of #JadonandAnias, you'll know that they boys were successfully separated. They have begun their new life as independent beings. Jadon's breathing tube was removed this week allowing her mother, Nicole, to finally hold her baby in her arms. This is the first time in their 13 months of life that she has been able to do that.
Brother Anias isn't doing as well as Jadon (pictured above). He will have to wait a little longer to be held by his parents. Anias has been suffering seizures, breathing issues and dealing with heart problems (pre-existing conditions that have continued, but are being managed via medicine, post-op). Still, doctors are pleased with his progression and know that he will catch up to Jadon soon enough.
The McDonald family are not well versed in the internet and it's ways... So Nicole was absolutely FLOORED to see that their GoFundMe page had exceeded the family's hopes (they gave up everything and moved to the Bronx to be close to the Children's Hospital & Dr. Goodrich) and their story has captivated the world.
Best wishes to these two, their older brother, mom and dad. Their faith has kept them strong and modern medicine has given them a second chance at life. I can't stop searching the hashtag "Jadon and Anias" / #JadonandAnias. The updates have been inspiring and might add a little sunshine to your day. The world is rooting for you two!! Little miracle babies! <3
