Sweetheart stories: Love sits in a deep hole

Is it due to Christmas, the turn of the year or even the death of, as the "Bild" newspaper writes, "our Pope" that people seem more religious again?

Boris Becker, for example, also writes "Bild", presenting himself "on Instagram praying in front of a waterfall in São Tomé and Príncipe, Africa";

the picture is captioned “New Beginnings”.

In our eyes, this is the most haunting sacred photo since Gerhard Schröder's wife Soyeon posed with folded hands in front of the Kremlin in March, where her lover was apparently negotiating peace.

Let's hope that Becker's prayer will be more successful.

We are also skeptical about prayer that even the old sinner Dieter Bohlen admits to it: "I couldn't fall asleep without prayer," he says to the "Bild" newspaper.

The circle closes when we learn from the same sheet that Benedikt's private secretary Gänswein is soon to publish a book that is said to be called "Nothing but the Truth" - and thus exactly like the autobiography that Dieter Bohlen once wrote.

You can expect revelations about how Gänswein's boss was once really made a superstar.

Mistress of the remote control

Of course, people are looking for true love more often than God in 2023, about which "Bunte" editor-in-chief Robert Pölzer ponders: "And the deep hole into which you sink when a great love comes to an end can be the beginning of an even greater love "Is she already in the hole, love?

Simone Thomalla is already in a partner again, although after years of being in a relationship she had learned to appreciate being single: "I was able to freely determine my daily routine, I could plan my free time and

I alone had the remote control in my hand." For slightly younger people, the latter should hardly be decisive, they only stream nowadays.

You should only rarely watch the "Bergdoktor", which, as reported by "Freizeitrevue", causes displeasure in the medical profession.

"Real doctors" would complain to the "mountain doctor" Hans Sigl, who always "takes care of the sick with complete calm and dedication": "If I had one patient a week, I could also take the time.

But the reality is different.” Even to those of us who have never used it, this seems unrealistic: How can the Bergdoktor afford the chic practice with only one patient a week?

And why aren't more people coming - is the way up the mountain too difficult for them?

Lambrecht in the deep

A federal minister seems to have arrived deep in the valley.

"In the ARD Germany trend", writes "Bild", "only 13% of those questioned say that they are satisfied with the work of Breakdown and Embarrassing Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (57, SPD).

That is another 8% less than in December.

Only Chancellor Scholz still stands by her.” That means the 13% is Olaf Scholz?

Did the ARD then only ask seven other people for their Germany trend?

Pietro Lombardi has also become less, who only weighs 92 kilos instead of 106 and explains "Bild": "I only eat kebabs once a day and do more sport, that's the whole secret." Only one kebab a day, unfortunately we would We couldn't manage it, we could only say goodbye to our breakfast doner kebab with jam with a heavy heart.

Lombardi's senior colleague Heino, on the other hand, says the "Aktuelle": "Sport would make me older.

If I run several kilometers every day, my body uses it up.” There, dear Heino, you misunderstood something – you burn up calories when you exercise, but ultimately they are of course also part of your body.

As the media reveal, citing Prince Harry's new book, his big brother practiced royal fistfighting during a dispute: "William grabbed my collar, tore my necklace, threw me to the ground," Harry said, according to "Bild" -Wrote newspaper;

he landed on a dog bowl and injured himself on the shards.

Here another disadvantage of being royal is revealed: With a profane plastic or tin bowl, things would have turned out more lightly than with one of the noble bowls made of courtly porcelain.

"OK!" also deals with the everyday life of higher classes: Kim Kardashian, we read, "requires her staff to wear the same colors as her facility", which is kept in creamy white.

An "OK!" editor shows understanding: "Kim painstakingly furnished her house to achieve a uniform look.

If someone is walking around in brightly colored clothes, it's really eye-catching." We would do it the other way around and let our employees walk around in bright Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian shirts.

When we're lounging on the sofa in our undershirts in front of the telly in the evening, we wouldn't want to overlook the fact that another employee is standing in front of our cream-white dresser.
