Rebel Wilson credits her daughter for changing the way she eats
Rebel Wilson's daughter, Royce, has made a significant mark on the actor's health. Speaking with in studio on June 16, Wilson, 45, credited 2-year-old Royce with allowing her and her wife, Ramona Agruma, to maintain healthy eating habits. 'I go on and off the rails with healthy eating and stuff. But what's really good is that with her, we're so conscious, my wife and I, about feeding her healthy, nutritious meals,' Wilson says. 'Which makes me remind myself again about being healthy.' Wilson explains that while she herself would 'often eat a lot of junk food,' parents would 'never deliberately feed your child rubbish.' And avoiding feeding her child "rubbish" is a good way to keep her own health goals on track. 'It's a nice reminder for yourself to try to be like, 'Well, I'd never give that to my daughter for dinner,' right? Just cookies for dinner or something like that — so why would I be doing that for myself?' she says. In another lesson from her daughter, Wilson says Royce has taught her 'how to be present,' even though her mind is normally racing around work, projects and everyday life. 'I was sitting down with her and I was playing with this kind of sand — it's like magnetic sand or something. I mean, just sitting there, just playing and talking to each other and just being present and not worrying about anything else,' she recalls. As she enjoys 'the simple pleasures of just being present with your child,' Wilson says being a mom and newly married has shifted her priorities. 'It just really changed my life. I mean, I don't have much of a social life,' she says, laughing. 'My spare time goes to my wife and daughter, and so I'm not gallivanting around like I used to be as a single lady, but it's just so fun.' Wilson continued, 'I feel so settled and nice and like everything's going great. And I think just, women in their 40s anyway, you just find a nice groove and a nice place of comfortability where you are, which is great.' The 'Bride Hard' star married Agruma in a ceremony in September 2024 in Sardinia, Italy. Wilson's daughter, Royce, was born via surrogate on Nov. 7, 2022. This article was originally published on

Rebel Wilson Says Her Friend Circle Has Shrunk Since Becoming a Mom ... And She's OK With That
There's no handbook to help you navigate the joys and challenges of parenting when you welcome your first child. Just ask Rebel Wilson. "No one ever really teaches you that much about motherhood and how difficult it is. And I guess you want to hear from other moms," the actor tells The 'Bride Hard' star is the first to admit that she 'wasn't really in the mom world' before she and her wife Ramona Agruma welcomed daughter Royce in November 2022, so she had a lot to learn from other moms when she became one herself. 'I think mom friendships are super important because it's so hard being a mom. The more you can share and learn from each other, I think the better it is for everybody," Wilson says in a phone interview while promoting her partnership with Splash Refresher, a line of zero-calorie, zero-sugar sparkling and still flavored waters. The 45-year-old stars in the brand's "Besties" campaign with her real life BFF Anna Kendrick. In honor of Best Friends Day, Splash Refresher has released a national survey about the importance of friendship to our well-being, particularly for moms. It's a topic that resonates with Wilson, who has discovered how therapeutic mom friendships can be. "Recently on a movie, my dialect coach had a daughter a similar age (to Royce) and then we did fun mom things like take our kids to the park and meet at the café, and talk about things to do with our children," she says. Over the last few years, Wilson has come to rely on her mom friends as a sounding board when she's feeling uncertain about how to handle certain parenting scenarios. One of her besties, who is a mother of three and a lawyer, has taught her how to navigate guilt as a working mom. '(She said), 'Even though you're not spending as much time with your child, at least your child sees you working hard for the family and that's a positive role model,'' she explains. Wilson also calls on her mom friends for a sanity check once in a while, like the time she called this same friend to ask if she ever gets bored playing with her child. 'She was like, 'Yeah, sometimes like after an hour, I'm done and I want to go back and be a high-powered lawyer in Manhattan,'" Wilson recalls. This hit home for the actor, who notes that she sometimes feels distracted as she transitions from her professional to personal life. "It was kind of interesting to share those experiences with her of being a working mom who obviously sometimes feels guilty because I have to go to work and then sometimes feels like I can't be as present for my child because I'm thinking about work and I can't just sit and face paint for hours," she says. With Royce now attending nursery school, the actor is hopeful that she will meet more mom friends. "You feel less alone if you're talking about stuff," she notes. With a busy career and a beautiful family at home, Wilson has a lot to juggle, and she acknowedges that her friendships have changed a bit after getting married and welcoming a child. 'My circle has become a lot smaller, and not like I deliberately intended it to be. I don't have a lot of social life because I'm either at work or my spare time is to my wife and baby,' she says. "So I feel like I've got, I don't know, three or four really close friends." Although she doesn't see her friends every weekend, Wilson does aim to have "one really meaningful chat once a month" with them. 'It's very valuable because they've known me for a long time. They're very close friendships," she says. Having friends that understand where she is at this stage of her life is rewarding for Wilson, who says she's 'a bit more boring now that I'm married and a mom.' Still, quiet days at home with her family are pretty blissful for Wilson, who can't help but gush about how much of an "amazing mother" Agruma is. 'We just got some chickens and then the chickens laid some eggs. So she's making from scratch a meal for our daughter from fresh vegetables that she's growing in the garden and the fresh eggs we've got from the chickens,' she says. Wilson applauds her wife's abundant patience and supportive, loyal nature, saying they "always have each other's backs." "She just goes above and beyond and she's really suited to being a mother," she says. This article was originally published on

"You can't just go, 'I feel like going to the movie cinema,' and just walk out of the house. No, no, no." "You have to plan what's happening with the baby," she continued. "Is the baby coming with you? Have the baby's meals been prepped? You've got to communicate about the baby's schedule, when her nap time is, all the things." Read the original article on People

Wild Trailer for the Bonkers Time-Travel Film TIM TRAVERS AND THE TIME TRAVELERS PARADOX — GeekTyrant
I've got a trailer here for you to watch for a bonkers time-travel sci-fi film Tim Travers and the Time Travelers Paradox . The logline for the film reads: 'What happens if you travel back in time and eliminate your younger self? Terminally bored mad genius Tim Travers seeks to find the answer and unravel the time traveler's paradox. The result? A crazy comedic adventure beyond comprehension.' In the film, 'Tim Travers seeks to solve the time travelers paradox. The classic thought experiment of what would happen if you killed your past self. Would it--for example--literally destroy the universe? Tim Travers, self-hating mad genius, is going to find out! 'Along the way, he'll piss off an international crime syndicate led by Royce (Danny Trejo), engage in a battle of wills with conspiracy theorist radio host James Bunratty (Joel McHale), even attempt to squeeze in a date in with the dangerously unstable Delilah (Felicia Day). Tim will have to learn how to literally coexist with the worst parts of himself, before his own demons destroy him and the universe with it. As I said in my review for the film, it's a 'bold and wildly inventive sci-fi comedy that rockets straight into some of the most fun, brain-bending, and hilariously dark territory in the time travel genre.' It's a fun, interesting, and unique movie, and it stars Samuel Dunning stars as Tim Travers. The movie was directed by Stimson Snead and it's been making the film festival rounds.

The Meeting That Made The Marque
This week in 1904, Charles Stewart Rolls boards a train in London, bound for Manchester, where he has a meeting over lunch at the Midland Hotel. The son of an aristocratic landowner and a true member of the Victorian upper crust, Rolls could have led a life of leisure hunting and fishing on his father's Welsh estate. Instead, he opens one of Britain's first car dealerships, C. S. Rolls & Co., in Fulham, West London, in 1902, four years after graduating from Cambridge as a trained engineer. His father, Lord Llangattock, had underwritten the business, which sells Panhard and Mors cars from France, as well as Minerva automobiles from Belgium. He is shown in his office below. But Rolls is frustrated. His dealership stock is comprised entirely of imported cars. While Great Britain is manufacturing cars, none meet his clients' needs or his own standards. Of course, it has been a mere 18 years since the debut of the first automobile prototype, the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Since then, the car has become a rarified, expensive plaything for the rich, like Rolls. Very much the enthusiast, Rolls had won the 1900 Thousand Miles Trial driving a 12-horsepower Panhard. A member of the Automobile Club of Great Britain & Ireland, it's here, among other wealthy enthusiasts, where Rolls meets Henry Edmunds, a fellow automotive aficionado and director at F. H. Royce Limited. Rolls admits his annoyance at not being able to find a good high-end British car to sell. Edmunds speaks of his 10-horsepower Royce automobile, shown above, being driven by Rolls, and arranges for a meeting between Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce. Born a miller's son in Peterborough, England, Royce's life had started much differently. Working by the age of four, he became an apprentice at the Great Northern Railway Works Depot at age 14. He discovered his natural talent for engineering, joining the Electric Light and Power Company in Liverpool in 1882, where his career flourished. Unfortunately, the company did not, declaring bankruptcy six years later. It's then that Royce decides to set up his own shop with fellow engineer Ernest Claremont, establishing what becomes F.H. Royce and Company Ltd. With Royce as Managing Director and Claremont as Chairman, the company builds everything from electric doorbells to heavy equipment such as overhead cranes. But cheap imports from Germany and the United States brought the company financial trouble in 1902, and Royce, shown above, takes a 10-week break after his health collapses. It's during this family vacation in South Africa that Royce reads "The Automobile: Its Construction and Management" by Gérard Lavergne. It's not light reading, but it had an impact on him. Upon returning home, Royce buys a 10-horsepower Decauville, a state-of-the-art automobile at the time. He dismantles it, examining every part with the intention of building his own car from scratch. Royce said later that it was his goal to "take the best that exists and make it better". From 1902 to 1905, Royce repairs, investigates, and test-drives various brands, covering 11,000 miles. By April 1904, the first Royce automobile, the 10 H.P. shown above, leaves the factory with a water-cooled 10-horsepower, two-cylinder engine and a carburetor design by Royce. It travels trouble-free 15 miles on its first drive. Having driven the car, F. H. Royce Limited Director Edmunds tells his friend Rolls of its smoothness and silence, and a lunch meeting is arranged at Manchester's Midland Hotel, this week in 1904. Later that day, back in London, Rolls tells his business partner Claude Johnson that he had discovered "the greatest motor engineer in the world". Rolls agrees to sell every Royce using the name Rolls-Royce. The 10-horsepower car was not enough to meet the needs of clients, so Royce engineers the 15 H.P., followed by the 30 H.P., with a six-cylinder engine producing 30 horsepower. But it's the introduction of the 40/50 H.P. and its 7.0-liter, six-cylinder side-valve engine that changes everything. Producing 48 horsepower, it's so smooth and silent, it's nicknamed the Silver Ghost, or alternately, the best car in the world. As was the case through the 1950s, every Rolls-Royce left the factory as a rolling chassis to be finished by an independent coachbuilder. The tradition has returned to Rolls-Royce today through its Coachbuilt division, continuing a way of making cars that first came to be when the company itself was born.
