Elizabeth Johnston Bolden's New Baby Sparks Joy Amid Past Challenges New

Elizabeth Johnston Bolden's New Baby Sparks Joy Amid Past Challenges

7 Little Johnstons star, Elizabeth Johnston Bolden, is officially a mom of two. According to Today.com, Elizabeth and her husband, Brice Bolden, welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Coleman Brice Johnston Bolden, on Tuesday, September 8. “We’re so happy to have Coleman here and to be home together as a family of four,” Elizabeth and Brice told the outlet. “We are so looking forward to watching Leighton and Coleman grow up together.” The couple, who tied the knot in November 2025, are already parents to daughter Leighton Drew Bolden. Their eldest child will celebrate her third birthday this fall. The baby’s moniker has special family significance, as he was named after his father and paternal great-grandfather. Elizabeth’s pregnancy and birth journey comes after she previously opened up about the challenges surrounding childbirth. The reality star has achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism, and knew ahead of welcoming her first child that she would need to deliver via C-section under general anesthesia. Brice previously admitted that he was particularly apprenhensive about the procedure. “He’s more nervous about the C-section than anything else in his entire life,” Elizabeth told Today.com in 2024. At the time, Elizabeth also laughed when asked whether the couple would consider having another child, explaining that Brice needed some time because “he’s just not ready to go through the C-section part again.” https://www.instagram.com/p/DdKCJh4lBW-/?hl=en&img_index=1 Elizabeth has also spoken of the challenges of raising a child, particularly when strangers invade her “personal bubble.” Speaking to Parade in February 2025, Elizabeth opened up about what it was like being a mom with achondroplasia dwarfism and having an average-height child. “We were just doing a little shopping, really just to get fresh air and get out of the house and take Leighton out of the house,” Elizabeth recalled as she shared a stressful incident that occurred three weeks after welcoming Leighton. She continued, “And we were just walking out of the parking lot, and somebody just wanted to run up and just come see before even saying, ‘Hey,’ or anything.” Elizabeth explained that her mother had cautioned her that situations like that might happen once she started a family. “My mom kind of warned me that since we’re already LPs [little people] in the public eye, when you have your baby in a stroller or a carrier and they’re hidden, it’s definitely the curiosity that gets to people,” she told Parade. Explaining that she was forced to put boundaries in place, Elizabeth continued, “I did have to be like, ‘No. No, we don’t do that.’” “That’s just been the most, kind of hard part to deal with,” Elizabeth added, “because just people who just don’t have that respect to like, hey, just come up and ask and not just bombard your personal bubble. That’s been the hardest thing.”

Bakan Yumaklı'nın Fidan Dikiminde Yaşananlar Süleyman Kaplan'ı Görevden Etti

Aydın İncir Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü’nün bahçesinde düzenlenen etkinlikte Tarım Bakanı İbrahim Yumaklı, kendisine verilen incir fidanını dikmek için hazırlanan çukura yerleştirdi. Ancak fidanın saksısından çıkarılmadan çukura konulması üzerine çevredeki görevliler bakanı uyardı.‘ÇIKARILTILMASI DAHA UYGUN’Uyarı sonrası Yumaklı, bunun doğru yöntem olup olmadığını TAGEM Genel Müdürü Mustafa Altuğ Atalay’a sordu. Atalay’ın fidanın saksısından çıkarılmasının daha uygun olacağını belirtmesinin ardından fidan yeniden çıkarıldı ve saksısından ayrılarak toprağa dikildi.SORUMLULUK PROTOKOL EKİBİNE YÜKLENDİEtkinlik sırasında yaşananlar kamuoyunda gündem olurken, olayın Bakanlık bünyesinde de bir karşılığı olduğu iddia edildi. Tarımdan Haber’in edindiği bilgilere göre, Bakanın programında gerekli ön kontrollerin yapılmaması nedeniyle protokol ekibinde görev yapan Süleyman Kaplan görevinden uzaklaştırıldı. Daha önce Bakanlığın Özel Kalem biriminde görev yapan Kaplan’ın, daha sonra Bakan Yumaklı’nın protokol ekibine dahil edildiği belirtildi.Kaplan’ın görevden uzaklaştırılmasında, fidan dikim etkinliğinde gerekli hazırlıkların önceden kontrol edilmemesi ve saksısından çıkarılmamış fidanın Bakan’a verilmesinin engellenememesinin etkili olduğu aktarıldı. PROGRAM ÖNCESİ KONTROL YAPILIYORTarım ve Orman Bakanlığında, Bakanın katılacağı etkinliklerin önceden incelenmesine yönelik protokol uygulamasının Ahmet Eşref Fakıbaba döneminde hayata geçirildiği belirtildi.Daha önce iki kişiden oluşan protokol ekibinin zaman içinde altı personele çıkarıldığı ifade edildi. Ekip, Bakanın katılacağı programa önceden giderek alanı ve hazırlıkları kontrol ediyor.Açılış, yemekli organizasyon, basın açıklaması ve benzeri etkinliklerde programın akışı ile alandaki hazırlıklar Bakan gelmeden önce inceleniyor. Uygulamayla program sırasında ortaya çıkabilecek aksaklıkların önceden belirlenerek giderilmesi hedefleniyor.

Kirilo Budanov avertizează Europa: Amenințarea războiului hibrid al Rusiei devine tot mai reală New

Kirilo Budanov avertizează Europa: Amenințarea războiului hibrid al Rusiei devine tot mai reală

Kirilo Budanov, șeful Biroului Președintelui Ucrainei, afirmă că Europa începe, în sfârșit, să recunoască amenințarea reprezentată de războiul hibrid al Rusiei și dincolo de statele baltice, iar Ucraina este pregătită să-și ofere experiența militară pentru a ajuta țările europene să contracareze acțiunile Moscovei. „Dacă nu vreți să aveți de-a face cu Rusia, aveți de-a face cu noi”, a declarat el pentru Euronews.„Statele din Europa Centrală (...) văd și simt manifestările actelor agresive ale Rusiei, concretizate în operațiuni hibride”, a declarat el pentru Euronews, joi, în marja Conferinței de la Riga.Budanov, fost șef al serviciului de informații militare al Ucrainei, a afirmat că Rusia urmează un tipar care începe cu „operațiuni speciale de informare și propagandă” și ajunge la „operațiuni de altă natură”, inclusiv incidente grave la întreprinderi din industria de apărare, „pe aerodromuri, pe căile ferate”.„Sper că această schimbare are loc, că va continua și că acum toată lumea înțelege cu cine avem de-a face”, a spus el.Declarațiile sale vin după ce premierul Estoniei, Kristen Michal, a afirmat recent că un atac prin incendiere asupra unei companii din industria de apărare ar putea avea legătură cu Rusia, deși incidentul este încă investigat.Guvernul german a atribuit, de asemenea, în mod oficial Rusiei incidentul în care o dronă încărcată cu explozibili a fost descoperită pe un aeroport din Leipzig.La începutul lunii august, ministrul german de Externe, Johann Wadephul, a acuzat Moscova și a declarat că acțiunile acesteia fac parte dintr-o „lungă serie de tentative de destabilizare, dezinformare, amenințări, sabotaj și agresiune îndreptate împotriva Europei”.Anterior, directorul CIA, John Ratcliffe, a efectuat o vizită-surpriză la Moscova, călătorind prin Riga. Deplasarea sa a alimentat speculațiile privind informațiile care au determinat Washingtonul să-și trimită șeful serviciului de informații în capitala Rusiei și dacă statele baltice ar trebui să fie îngrijorate.Estonia și Letonia au transmis că vor rămâne vigilente, dar că evaluarea lor privind amenințarea rusă nu s-a schimbat. Potrivit unor informații apărute în presă, Ratcliffe ar fi exercitat, de asemenea, presiuni asupra Moscovei în legătură cu sprijinul acordat Iranului, pe fondul conflictului cu Statele Unite.Întrebat dacă statele baltice minimalizează gravitatea vizitei lui Ratcliffe și a altor semnale aparent îngrijorătoare, Budanov a răspuns: „Statele baltice primesc toate informațiile necesare, iar toți aliații fac permanent schimb de informații pe această temă.”„Această amenințare va rămâne una potențială. Ar trebui să țineți cont de experiența țării noastre”, a adăugat el.În cadrul unei dezbateri, Budanov le-a spus participanților că „nimeni în lume nu are experiența militară pe care o au Ucraina și Rusia”, adăugând că Kievul este pregătit să împărtășească această experiență țărilor europene.„Dacă nu vreți să aveți de-a face cu Rusia, aveți de-a face cu noi”, a declarat Budanov la Conferința de la Riga.„Experiența pe care o avem a costat enorm, în sânge și bani. Așa că economisiți-vă sângele și banii și folosiți experiența noastră.” Editor : Ș.A.

Šovljanski u centru pažnje: Šta se dešava unutar N1 redakcije? New

Šovljanski u centru pažnje: Šta se dešava unutar N1 redakcije?

Branislav Šovljanski Foto:Promo autor: 11. sep. 2026. 22:25 Deo redakcije N1 izdao je danas saopštenje u kojem je osudio „targetiranje novinarki Danice Vučenić i Žakline Tatalović od strane direktora vesti N1 Branislava Šovljanskog“, koji je, kako se navodi, Vučenić optužio da je slagala, a Tatalović da hoće da se bavi politikom. Šovljanski, sa druge strane, za Danas navodi da na N1 cenzure i pritisaka na novinare nema, a za saopštenje dela novinara tvrdi da sadrži „gomilu neistina“. Oglas Saopštenje dela redakcije N1 možete pročitati OVDE.Šovljanski u izjavi za Danas kaže da je u petak primio pismo koje je kasnije objavljeno, ali da je ono bilo nepotpisano.“Napisali su da žele da se svi članovi redakcije N1 izjasne o tome da li sa tim pismom treba da se ide u javnost. Od 103. članova i članica redakcije, četvoro je glasalo da se ovo saopštenje pojavi u javnosti”, navodi Šovljanski za Danas.On ističe da je velika većina zaposlenih u redakciji bila protiv objavljivanja tog saopštenja, te dodaje da se radi o internim stvarima redakcije N1.“Ja sam juče u jutarnjem programu samo odgovarao na pitanja koja nisu bila unapred pripremljena, koja su opet bila interne stvari i stvari koje se rešavaju unutar redakcije, ali kada me je koleginica pitala, ja sam samo rekao ono što je istina”, kaže sagovornik Danasa.On napominje da mu je žao što postoji mala grupa ljudi u redakciji N1 koja, kako kaže, od njegovog dolaska i dolaska njegovog zamenika Vojislava Stevanovića “sve čini da uruši ugled televizije, da razbije jedinstvo televizije koja je svih ovih 12 godina radila kao tim”.“Šta su njihove namere i zbog čega to rade, ja zaista neću da ulazim u to. Postoje glasine da se pripremaju neki novi mediji koji otvaraju bivši vlasnici i bivši menadžment, gde se grupa ljudi priprema da pređe, a ako je cilj da se to uradi na taj način što će se isprljati ime televizije N1, onda to ide tim ljudima na čast”, ističe Šovljanski.“Prihvatio sam da budemo zajedno u trenutku kada smo i gledaocima najviše potrebni, a to je predizborna kampanja, da uradimo naš posao na najprofesionalniji mogući način. I to će biti moj fokus u narednim danima, a njima na čast sve ovo što pišu, o tome ću u narednim danima”, zaključuje Šovljanski.Navodi da će se na toj televiziji i portalu i dalje raditi sve kao što je rađeno do sada.“Dakle, cenzura na N1 televiziji ne postoji, pritisci na novinare ne postoje. Ono o čemu oni pričaju su stvari gde ima gomila neistina, u narednim danima ćemo se zvanično obratiti kako bismo prošli kroz sve to zajedno. Žao mi je ponovo što je tako mala grupa ljudi odlučila da sa ovim izlazi u javnost, iako ih je većina drugih ljudi zamolila da to ne rade. I to je njihova odluka, i neka bude tako kako su oni želeli”, kaže sagovornik Danasa.Šovljanski ističe da je njegov zadatak da očuva tim N1, te dodaje da je zbog toga i prihvatio da ostane i da bude deo tima.

Pink Breaks Silence Amid Backlash Over Macklemore's Pro-Palestine Remarks New

Pink Breaks Silence Amid Backlash Over Macklemore's Pro-Palestine Remarks

Pink has broken her silence regarding the backlash she faced for reposting criticism of Macklemore’s pro‑Palestinian remarks at Ed Sheeran’s MetLife Stadium shows. “I’ve been quiet in my own words for a week, which you know isn’t like me. So here they are,” Pink, 47, began in an Instagram statement on Friday, September 11. The singer continued, “Last Sunday I reposted somebody else’s post about Macklemore’s set at Ed Sheeran’s show. It said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them. Then the comments came, and I did what I do when I’m hurt, which is post snarky memes and act like I’m fine. That’s on me.” While performing his opening set at Sheeran’s concerts in New Jersey on September 4 and 5, Macklemore, 43, chanted “Free Palestine” and performed his protest track “Hind’s Hall.” He stated that his primary reason for doing the stadium shows was to advocate for Palestine amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict over land in the Middle East. Following Macklemore’s statement, critics petitioned to have the rapper removed from the remaining dates of the Loop Tour. Pink ultimately reposted a message from StopAntisemitism accusing Macklemore of spreading “anti‑Israel propaganda.” She later took to her Instagram Story to share several memes amid backlash over her response. “A repost isn’t a statement, and a meme isn’t a spine,” she wrote on Friday. “Social media makes all of us cheap and fast, and we all know it. But I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it.” “I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it,” Pink continued. “And this week, a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word ‘Jew’ were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in ... myself.” Pink then recalled her past advocacy for both sides of the conflict. “Of course I don’t speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization,” she wrote. “Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and their aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody’s child. I’ve spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didn’t choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence. I didn’t do it from behind a screen; I went to those children and held them. I’m not going to litigate a complex war in an Instagram caption, and I’m not going to recite anybody’s slogan to earn back a follower.” Pink added that she’s now “standing up for my own people.” "‘Zionist,’ spat like it's a slur, by people who couldn't tell you the details of what I believe, because I hadn't told them yet,” she wrote. “I wasn't asked. I was told. I don't think most of them hate Jews. I think somebody handed them a story where the Jew who won't apologize for existing must be the villain, and they've been putting words in my mouth ever since.” She continued, “l've been portrayed as the villain before. I can take it. I just won't take it quietly, and I'm not going to teach my kids to. So, to the ones who are furious with me: you don't have to agree with me. You never did. That's been our unspoken agreement for 25 years, and it still stands, and so do I.” She concluded, “To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I'm right here. I've never been hard to find. And I'll keep speaking out, in my own words.”

Why Alexandra Artrip's Reaction to Her 'Practical Magic 2' Recasting is Winning Hearts New

Why Alexandra Artrip's Reaction to Her 'Practical Magic 2' Recasting is Winning Hearts

Published 01:40 12 Sep 2026 GMT+1Retired child star Alexandra Artrip addressed being recast in Practical Magic 2, quipping that "nobody even knew I was alive a month ago."Original Practical Magic child star Alexandra Artrip has broken her silence on being recast in the upcoming sequel, revealing she discovered the project had been green-lit the exact same way as the general public.In an interview with the Daily Mail, the former actress—who portrayed Sandra Bullock’s younger daughter Antonia Owens in the 1998 cult classic—shared her perspective on stepping away from Hollywood decades ago and having Game of Thrones alumna Maisie Williams take over her role."There had been rumors circling around for a while [about a sequel], and all my friends and family obviously knew I was in the first one, so anytime an article came up about it, I [would get] flooded with the links," Artrip explained. "When it got green-lit, I just got sent an article like everybody else."Artrip explained that her brief acting career ended almost immediately after the release of the witchy blockbuster, choosing an ordinary upbringing over the entertainment industry.AdvertAlexandra starred alongside Evan Rachel Wood as two of the youngest stars in the original film (AlexandraArtip/Instagram)"I basically retired after I did Practical Magic," she said. "I only acted for about nine months. I retired and just kind of went back to a normal childhood, and then when I graduated college, I briefly went out to LA and auditioned a little bit and decided to just go into corporate life and have a normal life and family and kids."Now working as a sales and marketing professional, Artrip lives a quiet life in Dallas, Texas, with her husband and children. While she recently set up an Instagram profile to reconnect with fans and share memories from the set, she had previously put out a polite feeler on Facebook in 2025 expressing an interest to "return for a cameo or to attend the premiere."However, Artrip made clear she harbors no bitterness over not receiving a call from the studio."I never expected to be involved, so it would have been a big shock to me if I got an email or a call," she told the publication. "I don't think anyone even knew I was alive a month ago. I've been incognito until a month ago."While most of her castmates hadn't stayed in touch, she did admit she recently reconnected with Bullock, after the Hollywood icon commented on one of her social media posts.The former child star stepped away from acting after just nine months (AlexandraArtip/Instagram)Yet even despite falling out of touch, she has no ill feeling towards the newest star to take over her role.Artrip pointed out that recasting Antonia alongside her on-screen sister Kylie—now played by Joey King, taking over for Evan Rachel Wood—was a logical creative choice given the narrative timeline."The characters - I don't remember their exact age - but [from] their storyline, you can deduce their ages and where they are in life," Artrip noted.Far from being upset, Artrip expressed genuine excitement to see Williams take up the mantle."Maybe I influenced the casting or the inspiration, but I kind of see it as I got to play Antonia in one chapter of her story and if that serves as any source of inspiration for Maisie ... then I just feel like what an honor," she said. "But I can't wait to see how she portrays the character as a young adult."Artrip confirmed she will definitely be buying a ticket to see the sequel in cinemas, looking back warmly on the 1998 production that defined her childhood brush with fame."I have such fond memories of being on set. I loved working on the film," she said. "It's just such a gift to have a connection to this franchise that's beloved by so many."Featured Image Credit: AlexandraArtip/InstagramTopics: Film and TV
