Heart leaf stories: lightning under Helene's skin

What do Ludwig van Beethoven and Roberto Blanco have in common? Sure, they are among the greatest geniuses in music history. There are also amazing similarities in their works - just compare the rhythm of the fifth by the Bonn master (Ta-ta-ta-taaa) with that of Blanco's joyful ode “A bit of fun must be” (Ta-ta-ta -taaa-tata). But that's not all: the two of them may even have common ancestors. In any case, the 84-year-old music historian Blanco apparently thinks that is conceivable. According to the

, he asked the mayor of Vienna to open Beethoven's grave in order to check the rumor that has been circulating for a long time that the composer has African roots. The result of the exhumation would be groundbreaking for a

A look at European symphonic music, if Blanco is right: "I bet he looked more like me than you might think."

Other celebrities have to live with the accusation that they don't even look like themselves. This applies to Tom Cruise, for example.

attests to him

that he looks “ironed smoothly and at the same time puffy” in current pictures; anonymous experts described the visual impression with the words "fallen into a wasp's nest". In truth, the swellings are more likely to be due to an attack by the species Plastochirurgus botoxii. A similar suspicion expressed

facing new photos of David and Victoria Beckham: It look as if had indulged the "power couple" a joint visit to the beauty Doc.

For all friends of body modification, I would like to point out the warning of old, wise woman Jamie Lee Curtis, who

quotes

as follows: “The things we do erase generations of beauty.

If you do too much with your face, it's gone forever. "

Camilla the schemer and Kate the queen

Meghan of Sussex is not lacking in external beauty. Instead, the world looks into the sinister grimace of her soul with disgust - just like her husband Harry in the meantime. “Lightning divorce?” Asks the

and lets an “insider” chat: “Harry recognized Meghan's true character. In long conversations, a good friend opened his eyes. "Perhaps the" friend "was Meghan's half-brother Thomas Markle Jr., from whom the

following warning:" Meghan treated her first husband like dirt. Harry is next. "

Anyone who has such half-brothers doesn't need a nasty step-in-law anymore, with Camilla playing in a different rogue league than the manipulative American, as

makes clear. With "nasty intrigues" and "malicious machinations" she tried to keep Duchess Kate away from the highest dignity. But the noble lady made this calculation without the head of the family. The very thought of passing the scepter on to her son Charles and his wife made the Queen "shudder", which is why it is now clear: "Kate will be Queen."

Perhaps, as such, she will allow her brother-in-law Harry to return to England remorsefully as soon as his

divorce from Meghan, which has already been

initiated according to

is over, and Elton John will then never again have to - as is now happening - his participation in a Diana tribute cancel, but may sing the "Crocodile Rock" there with the utmost approval in the presence of the punished Camilla.

Helene, the super likeable

As if all this for Meghan not unpleasant enough, reported

on top of that the company H & M was on the verge of bankruptcy: The duo squander around three million euros a month; About 1.6 million went on security alone. The financial circumstances of Helene Fischer, whose assets

estimated at 40 million euros,

are certainly more solid

. Pregnant Helene is floating in astronomical spheres with her companion Thomas Seitel anyway.

According to

,

she dedicates

electrifying lines of songs to him (“You burn under my skin as fast as lightning”) and says moving sentences about her life in interviews. Like the one that the

- hopefully correct - reproduces: "You were also desperate because everything was good." That is super sympathetic, because we all know it, this feeling of no longer knowing what to do in view of 40 million in the account.

This hotel heiress, Ms. Hilton, is one of those who break into tears regularly when she looks at her bank statements, but what's her first name?

That is

asked

on the puzzle page in the

, and we have a really hard time with the answer, while we immediately found out the last name of the cinema boxer Rocky from among four suggestions - Bilbao, of course.

With Madame Hilton, on the other hand, we have to pass.

But it's also some city name.

The

choice of

Berlin, Madrid and Sydney, among others.

Everything is wrong, says the editor colleague.
