Sweetheart Stories: There is blood in the love potion

We always like to read reports about which parts of the body celebrities have insured for large sums, this week it was again in the

: Julia Roberts' smile, allegedly insured for 30 million dollars, Heidi Klum's legs, allegedly for 2.2 million ("the left one for a little less because of a scar").

This was new for us: Supposedly 5.6 million dollars "'Tiger' Tom Jones (81, 'Sexbomb') is worth the protection of his chest fur".

Now that's amazing, because how could Jones' chest hair get damaged?

By souvenir hunters armed with scissors?

Through a bush fire?

Dieter Hallervorden is obviously not a safety fanatic.

The man who sweeps across the republic's dance floors with his partner, who is a good 30 years his junior, is quoted in the

as saying that he "did my first parachute jump two years ago.

And now I've discovered my passion for paragliding.

Paragliding increases my mood.” That's nice for him, who offers a shining example to some of his peers.

And other seniors probably spoiled their mood because they constantly had to hear from their wives: "Hallervorden does paragliding and you don't even want to go out for a walk in the park!"

It's mascara

You could console yourself, after all, you are not married to Barbara Schöneberger, who, according to the

, said in her podcast: "I've thrown a pan before. It was also a difficult one, she knocked a corner out of the floor.” She also likes to use her husband's towel. "And then he says, 'It's black and brown.' Then I say, 'Yes, it's mascara.'” Well, if it's really just mascara, then he's lucky.

It seems that a colleague is also violent: "Günther Jauch – beating attack" is the title of

. Was a "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" candidate cheeky? Had he given vent to his frequently expressed displeasure with opponents of vaccination in a tangible way? No, Jauch himself was attacked: as a nine-year-old by a classmate, after which he "came home with two teeth in his hand". A sad, but fortunately 54-year-old message. With this logic you could also write the headline: "

thing is babbling abstruse stuff." Because the editors of the paper were once moderately articulate small children. But not just because of that.

writes

about Angela Merkel, she delivered “many passionate speeches to convince the nation of her plans”.

Flaming speeches?

Merkel?

Amazing how quickly the memory is transfigured.

Completely surprised

Fabian Hambüchen had an unforgettable time in the Maldives because he got engaged there. "For this, the German gymnastics legend got on his knees in the white sand in front of his loved ones," writes

. "Vicky was completely surprised," says Hambüchen, and Vicky herself says she "was completely surprised," and we are surprised too, because everything - kneeling, putting on the ring, the kiss - is done in a professional,

printed photos documented. Hadn't Vicky noticed the photographer? And is such a moment, if you experience it as a threesome, romantic at all? The couple then had to stay in the Maldives for a week longer due to their corona infections, but there are certainly worse fates.

Actress Megan Fox and rapper Machine Gun Kelly, on the other hand, "got engaged in Puerto Rico",

knows : "There was also a beautiful emerald and diamond ring – and a drink made from each other's blood." We would rather take the ring than the drink whether there are special cocktails for such preferences? Classics like Bloody Mary, Rusty Nail (ouch) or Zombie might be even more nutritious with a little fresh blood, but you could also imagine new creations like Red Russian, Piña Ader or Gin Ritz. What we are still wondering: Could anyone who drinks their partner's blood also become infected with Corona? An important point for the next Drosten podcast.

Musician Michael Patrick Kelly relies less on bodily fluids than on spiritual support: "I prayed for my wife," says the

.

After six years of convent life, Kelly "prayed a novena", namely asked nine times for "the same thing or something similar".

"Kelly asked to meet the love of my life," we read, and "within this novena" met his current wife: She is also "very religious, she has a doctorate in religious studies".

In particular, the question of whether other women can also be prayed to, or whether the novena trick only works for religious scholars, should be of interest to the singles among our readers.
