MAN WHO GREW UP IN FOSTER CARE CARE REUNITES WITH LONG LOST BEARDED MOTHER

A man who grew up in foster care because of an abusive father was shocked when he discovered that his long-lost mother is the world record holder for the woman with the longest beard.
Richard Lorenco, 35, of Kansas was abandoned by his father in a motel room aged 4-years-old. Over the next seven years he was moved around seven foster homes and he says he coped by pretending his mom was a famous rock star.

In a recent episode of Shocking Family Secrets, Lorenco describes his ‘complete shock’ when he found out that his mom, 64-year-old Vivian Wheeler, was in fact a famous circus performer, who held a Guinness world record for her 11-inch beard.

Lorenco says that despite the unusual nature of her profession, he thought it was ‘really cool’ when he found out his mom had spent her life as a famous side show performer, using the stage name Melinda Maxie.
When Lorenc finally made contact with his mother after more than 30 years he was surprised to find out about her unusual life, but heartened to finally meet her. ‘I had a loving mother the whole time,’ he explained on a recent episode of Shocking Family Secrets, which airs on the Discovery Fit and Health Channel.

His mother told him how they had escaped from her abusive husband, but he had tracked them down and snatched her child.
As a result of his difficult childhood, Lorenco had chosen to spent most of his adult life focused on the future and building a new life with his wife and two young daughters.

But when a back injury led to questions about his family medical history, Lorenco decided the time was right to find out about his biological parents

Six weeks after filing his request with the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, Lorenc received a letter saying his biological mother was a Wheeler of Bakersfield, California

The letter also informed him that both his mother and his maternal grandmother had been born with a condition known as hypertrichosis or werewolf syndrome, which meant that even as children they had facial hair.

The letter also stated that his mother had born a hermaphrodite, with both male and female reproductive organs, although as a baby the male genitalia had been removed because the parents wanted a girl.
If Robert Lorenc had a traumatic childhood, it pales in comparison to his mom.

Wheeler’s father had told her to go and work in the field of performing at the age of five years - with a salary of $1,000 per month he sent to the house - because he was ashamed of her.

She might have a beard but she seems to be at peace, after all worse illness and conditions have been seen!!!

SPOTIKS CELEBRITY INTERVIEW WITH JULIET IBRAHIM

Interview conducted by @Orirefeshout

Spotiks welcomes our dear readers to the first edition of our weekly celebrity interview section. For this special occasion we got the gorgeous, humble and delectable Ghanian Actress Juliet Ibrahim to do us the honour of the first Spotiks celebrity interview.

 

SPOTIKS: What Are Your Full Names?

JULIET: My names are Juliet Ibrahim Safo.

SPOTIKS: How Did It All Start For You?

JULIET: I had just recently won a beauty pageant and was crowned Miss Queen of Languages in 2004 when I was approached by a friend to audition for an upcoming movie role. I was a bit hesitant at first but he asked me to try out because the production house needed new faces to bring up. I went for the audition and passed; my first lead role was in the movie ‘Crime to Christ’ in 2005 and the rest as they say is history.

SPOTIKS: What Changes Have Occurred Since You Became A Celebrity?

JULIET: Life as a celebrity is like two sides of a coin; unpleasant and pleasant. It is unpleasant because I have no privacy; I live my life in the public eye with everybody trying to have a say in my life and trying to tell me how to live. It is also pleasant because I get to live my dream life and be a role model to so many young people out there.                                              

SPOTIKS: What Are Your Memories Of Your First Acting Role?

JULIET: It was very stressful because I had no prior experience in acting and was set to play a lead role alongside experienced actors. I put in all I had, did my best and I got to learn a whole lot on the set from more experienced actors.

SPOTIKS: Are You Married?

JULIET: Yes I am married and I have a 2year old son.

SPOTIKS: Who Are Your Top 5 Nigerian Music Artists?

JULIET: My top 5 Nigerian musicians are Wizkid, Brymo, M.I, Omawumi and Flavour.

SPOTIKS: What Is the Most Embarrassing Moment of Your Life

JULIET: I was driving in my car the other day in Accra; some kids recognized me and ran to my car happily. In the midst of their joy and whilst banging on my car, I heard them say “it is Jackie Nelson from TV''. I burst into laughter as I drove away. They knew my face but couldn't put a name to the face.

SPOTIKS: Rumour Has It You Are Dropping Your First Single Soon. How true is this? 

JULIET:  Oh yes! I am dropping my first single soon. Music was my childhood dream, I grew up singing in the choir, I sang soprano back in the day. I just want to fulfill  that dream by doing some singing and sharing it with my fans and the rest of the world.

SPOTIKS: What Is The Craziest Thing You've Ever Done Before?

JULIET: It will be when I decided to get down from my car and walk to a newspaper stand to buy a paper by myself thinking and hoping they wouldn't recognize me,  unfortunately they did. I ended up giving the vendor the change from the money I  had given him for the newspaper.

SPOTIKS: Your Favourite Colour

JULIET: My favorite color will be Gold. I also like every other color.

SPOTIKS: Your Favourite Quote

JULIET: My favorite quote is: do unto others as you want others to do unto you.

SPOTIKS: Is There Any Difference Between Working With Nigerian And Ghanaian Directors?

JULIET: There is not much of a difference working with Nigerian or Ghanaian directors because they are both good at what they do.    

SPOTIKS: Most Difficult Role You Had To Portray That Went Against Your Personal Belief?

JULIET: The most difficult will be playing the role of a lesbian in ‘Hidden Fantasy’ and a witch.

SPOTIKS: What Scenes Will You Refuse To Play In A Movie?

JULIET: As an actress I believe diversity is the key to being a great actress, hence I should be able to play any role and act it out and make it as real as it can be.

SPOTIKS: Best Nigerian Actor and Actress you’ve Worked With

JULIET: I will pick Olu Jacobs, Nkem Owoh (Osuofia) and Patience Ozokwor as the best Nigerian Actors and Actress I have had the pleasure to work with.

SPOTIKS: What do you do to stay beautiful? (Beauty tips for female readers)

JULIET: I eat healthy meals; I make sure I do not eat anything heavy or fatty after 6pm to avoid sleeping with food inside my stomach without proper digestion. I also take in a lot of water and fresh juices. I do not smoke and I only drink liquor when I am out in the club and never more than a glass. Alcohol makes people fatter and   also affects the kidneys and livers. I am so busy that I hardly have time to work out so once in a while I do sit ups. I will conclude by saying that I am blessed with beauty that runs in my family; in fact my mom is a very beautiful woman.

SPOTIKS: Ultimate Award You Want To Win

JULIET: I want to be on Forbes list of the youngest powerful women in Africa. Every other award is within my reach and I want to be recognized for my great humanitarian works across Africa someday.

SPOTIKS: Best Script you've Ever Gotten For A Movie

JULIET: The best script will be my first personal script I am working on; I’ll be producing it next year. The script writer Patrick Nnamani is a wonderful writer. I still can't believe what he has made out of my story.                                                                       

SPOTIKS: Message To Your Fans

JULIET: I want to thank my numerous die-hard fans for all their support and love over the years. I promise to never let you down and to always keep doing the things that makes you love and support me more. With the help of my fans and God by my side I see 2013 as the beginning of so many great things for us.

SPOTIKS: Message To Spotiks

JULIET: I will like to encourage Spotiks blog to keep up with what they do; to know that even though there are more experienced blogs out there, this is the beginning for Spotiks and the sky should be your starting point. Do not give up on what you are doing, keep promoting positive things and remember uniqueness counts in our (entertainment) industry. Just be yourself.

There you have it; she is not only beautiful but ambitious and eager to give back to the community that has helped her get so far. You can check Juliet Ibrahim’s charity work at http:// julietibrahimfoundation.org and follow her on twitter @julietibrahm.

Next week Spotiks will be interviewing popular female comedienne Chigirl. It promises to be an interesting edition.

GIVE WAY GANGNAM, THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER STYLE IS THE NEW DEAL

 Still in love with Psy's  ground breaking Gangnam Style? Then get ready to feed your eyes on the new dance style making waves across China: AIRCRAFT CARRIER STYLE.

 

 

The style particularly picked up on the funny pose of two aircraft carrier personnel, seen at the 2:37 mark in the picture above, who were directing planes on board.

Soon, web users began uploading photos of themselves mimicking the pose, and then combining it with Psy's dance moves from the ever-popular Gangnam Style video — and a meme was born.

 It didn’t take long before millions of web users across China started uploading links to the meme and posting pictures and videos of themselves imitating the aircraft carrier style. Some even combined the style with the Gangnam style (wonder what they are going to call that combination…THE GANCRAFT STYLE, lol). 

'Top gun style' seems to have come to stay

This is just one of the many parody dance moves inspired by the Gangnam Style which is now the world’s most viewed video on You Tube with over 850 million views.
