The Academy Awards give honors to those who did the best of the best in film that year, honoring some legendary performances over the years. Everyone tunes into the best award show of the night, but we also need to talk about the anti-Oscar, the anti-thesis of honoring the best for their work: the Razzies.

The Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzies, are a parody award show that gives statuettes to those who’ve done the worst performances of the year, and have done so since 1981.

You may not know this, but quite a few Oscar winners have also received Razzies, including some of our favorite actresses. It just goes to show that you win some, you lose some, but you should never forget how amazing you really are.

In honor of the 2024 Oscars coming right around the corner, let’s see which actresses have won both an Oscar and a Razzie over the years, below:

16 Times The Kennedy Curse Was Frighteningly Real https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/slideshow/2825740/kennedy-curse-examples-real/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/slideshow/2825740/kennedy-curse-examples-real/#respond Sun, 03 Mar 2024 17:15:57 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?post_type=pmc-gallery&p=2825740 If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.

Chances are when you think of the Kennedy family, you think of wealth, style, and more than likely, the Kennedy curse.

For those that don’t know, the Kennedy curse is one of the oldest and most talked about conspiracy theories in popular culture, dating back to the early 20th century. The theory goes that the Kennedy curse strikes the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. in ways such as premature deaths and accidents. Not only are the Kennedy family members known for quite early deaths in a shocking manner, but quite a few disturbing events of happened to this family, and it’s happened way more often than other families.

From JFK’s assassination and his brothers five years after to the more recent and tragic passing of Kennedy family members, there’s a reason why this conspiracy theory has stood the test of time.

Please note that quite a few members of the Kennedy family tragically died by suicide, but we will not be discussing them in this slide show. Instead, we’ll be focusing on the freak accidents, sudden deaths, and tragic aftermaths of diagnosis that fall more in line with the curse conspiracy.

We are going all the way back to the 1940s to the most recent death that happened to extended family members back at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Get ready, because there’s a lot to unpack here with this Kennedy curse.

Check out every Eerie instance where the Kennedy curse seemed frighteningly real.

Please note as a disclaimer that this gallery touches on subjects such as mental illness, miscarriages, and health issues.

Another Working Royal Family Member Is Taking a Break From Duties Amid King Charles & Kate Middleton’s Hiatus https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2969879/royal-family-queen-camilla-break/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2969879/royal-family-queen-camilla-break/#respond Sun, 03 Mar 2024 16:14:00 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2969879 Another hit for the British royal family: another member has decided to step back from their royal duties for a bit. While Kate Middleton is in recovery from her abdominal surgery until around Eastertime, and King Charles III is dealing with his cancer diagnosis, quite a few royals have had to up the ante with their appearances. But now, it seems Queen Camilla is also taking a break from the spotlight.

According to her schedule viewed by The Times, the Queen won’t be doing any more public appearances until March 11 for Commonwealth Day. As of right now, it’s believed to be a small break, which royals typically do around the year, instead of a medical emergency like Kate and Charles are facing.

The Daily Mail via Independent reported that she’s allegedly “planning to spend a few days of private downtime with her family before jetting off on a private flight tomorrow.”

Now, you may be wondering: is Prince Wiliam going to have to step up his royal appearances even more, despite sources saying Kate has allegedly felt “abandoned” amid his rise in duties?

Nope! The same outlet reported that Charles’s siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, will step up for the numerous events happening in the next week. Anne has been dubbed the hardest-working royal for numerous years now, so adding more to her plate probably won’t phase her, and while Edward doesn’t do as much as Anne, he has stayed consistent with his support for the family.

Prince William’s Care For Kate Middleton’s Recovery Has Taken a Total 180, Palace Insider Claims https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2969656/prince-williams-kate-middleton-abandonment/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2969656/prince-williams-kate-middleton-abandonment/#respond Sat, 02 Mar 2024 15:30:00 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2969656 While Kate Middleton and King Charles III are in recovery, many of the duties have fallen onto Prince William. He’s had to up the ante when it comes to going on royal appearances and duties, which everyone was seemingly prepared for. However, a palace insider claims that amid William’s upped royal duties, his wife Kate has allegedly felt “abandoned” by him.

Despite insiders claiming he was going above and beyond while caring for Kate during her recovery from abdominal surgery, it seems the growing royal responsibilities have now made her feel alone.

“She has felt abandoned by her husband,” a palace insider told InTouch, adding that “William has taken on more royal duties now that Charles is battling cancer, and that’s pulled him away from Kate. He’s preparing to take over the throne. He’s also checking on his father more, and William had to deal with Harry’s recent visit.”

Because of all of these crazy events, William’s focus has been put elsewhere. However, the same insider said William “has to slow down and focus on his wife and the kids more. They need him more now than ever.” And that Kate has tried to be understanding, but it’s reportedly gotten to a point where she needs the same alleged attentive care again.

Now, Kate has always seemed as though she understands the royal duties, and the sacrifice it takes. In fact, many royal experts have praised her on this over the years. So while many might not believe she feels this way, recovering from surgery can be a delicate process, thus she could be more emotional amid it all.

We just hope she has a steady recovery and that William will help care for her until she’s ready to go into the public again around Eastertime.

The Top 12 Most Shocking Oscars Moments We've Ever Seen — Yes, Including the Slap https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/slideshow/2550937/shocking-oscars-moments/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/slideshow/2550937/shocking-oscars-moments/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 22:50:41 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?post_type=pmc-gallery&p=2550937 With the biggest night of the year in the entertainment world, there are bound to be some things you wouldn’t expect. The Oscars are a truly magical night, a night full of mystifying dresses and speeches we won’t soon forget. But with the good times come the crazy times, also known as the ones we bring up for years to come. After the 2022 Academy Awards, for example, it seemed like we never stopped talking about Chris Rock and Will Smith’s slapping incident. But 2022 wasn’t the only year the Oscars had an unexpected event happen, with some incidents happening back in the late 1960s.

So in case you missed it, during the 2022 Oscars, an altercation erupted between Smith and Rock. Smith slapped Rock square in the face, leaving everyone at the venue and watching live to be both stunned and confused. Before the slap, our mouths were agape when the 2017 Best Picture snafu occurred — where it came to light that Moonlight actually won instead of La La Land. Awkward!

But the most shocking moments weren’t all bad. In fact, many shocking occurrences were shocking precisely because they were important, history-making wins — one of which includes the youngest actor to ever win an Oscar back in the 1970s.

Check out all the most shocking Oscar moments in history below as we prepare for this year’s big night on March 10 below!

Donald Trump's 2024 Election Running Mate Could Be One of These Women https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2963911/donald-trump-potential-female-vp-picks/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2963911/donald-trump-potential-female-vp-picks/#respond Thu, 29 Feb 2024 21:47:19 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2963911 Donald Trump’s potential running mate and Vice President could be a woman based on reports. With another election year underway, and Trump’s bid to get back into office in full swing, speculation is mounting about who his running mate could be.

Trump will likely be the Republican Party nominee for the White House for the third election cycle in a row but, given the fallout of the 2020 election, former Vice President Mike Pence will not be by his side.

Some of the names being buzzed around, per Katie Couric Media, aren’t that big of a surprise since they were once competing for the top prize themselves, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. They aren’t guaranteed the spot, though, and there are some surprising names reportedly in competition with these men.

Donald Trump’s Vice President pick could be one of these women.

There are several women who are speculated to be contenders to become Trump’s 2024 election running mate. See the names below:

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem

The top female pick for vice president probably will be South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who has shown unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump through his administration and beyond. She’s also loud about her desire to be his running mate, telling Fox News, “I’m all-in to do what I can to help the team. He needs somebody that actually is not part of the swamp, I think. He needs a business owner. He needs somebody who’s been a commander-in-chief, somebody who makes decisions when things get tough.”

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard may seem like an out-of-place name on this list since she is a former Democrat, but she’s shown major support for conservative views lately. As a combat veteran, she checks a lot of boxes for Donald Trump with possible swing voters and her military experience. Gabbard is also happily throwing her hat into the ring, too. “I’d be open to that conversation,” Gabbard told Fox News in early February. “My mission in life is to serve our country and serve the American people and find the best way to be able to do that.” 

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE - JANUARY 19: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) (L) joins Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally at the Grappone Convention Center on January 19, 2024 in Concord, New Hampshire. New Hampshire voters will weigh in next week on the Republican nominating race with their first-in-the-nation primary, about one week after Trump's record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses.

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik is another appealing name to the GOP because, at 39, she’s a young rising star as the No. 4 Republican in the House. She played into his stolen election narrative quite well, but New York isn’t exactly a state that loves Donald Trump. She continues to make a strong case for herself, recently criticizing Mike Pence’s decision to certify the election — and it might be her way of signaling that she’s up for the position. “I would be proud to serve in a future Trump administration, but we have a lot to do,” she told CNN.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Trump leads Sarah Huckabee Sanders to the podium during his reelection kickoff campaign rally at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday, June 18, 2019.

Another possibility for his running mate is Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is very familiar with how Donald Trump operates after serving as his White House Press Secretary during his administration. She’s already endorsed Donald Trump for president, and she is another face of the future for the GOP at the age of 41. But, it doesn’t sound like she wants to return to Washington, D.C. right now. “Look, I absolutely love the job I have,” Sanders shared with Face the Nation. “I think it’s one of the best jobs I could ever ask for and I am honored to serve as governor, and I hope I get to do it for the next seven years.”

It’s hard to predict who Donald Trump will chose since he can be unpredictable in his choices. It’s quite possible a woman will be chosen as his running mate this time around with both Noem and Gabbard at the top of his reported short list.

Melania Trump Is Nowhere To Be Seen Even Though Donald Trump Promised She Would Campaign With Him https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2966283/melania-trump-missing-presidential-campaign-trail/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2966283/melania-trump-missing-presidential-campaign-trail/#respond Tue, 27 Feb 2024 17:42:17 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2966283 Royal fans are wondering where Kate Middleton is, and political watchers are asking the same question in regard to Melania Trump. Donald Trump promised months ago that his third wife would be a presence on his 2024 presidential campaign, but so far, that hasn’t come to fruition. 

The former president teased her upcoming appearances in a Fox News townhall last week. “It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results,” Donald Trump explained. “She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country.” So, he pretty much revealed that the former first lady hates campaigning with him, but he wasn’t done talking about the hot topic.

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA – DECEMBER 31: Former U.S. President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump arrive for a New Years event at his Mar-a-Lago home on December 31, 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida.

“You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them,” Donald Trump added. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person.” It’s understandable for Melania to take some time off to grieve the loss of her mother, Amalija Knavs, who passed away in January. As the 2024 campaign heats up, though, her presence is going to be expected by the Republican Party. 

Donald Trump kept up with the excuses, noting her dedication to their son, Barron, 17, who is in his final year of high school. “Her life revolves around that boy. It’s so important to her,” he continued. “At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity. She’s a private person.” Donald Trump kept circling back to the idea that “she’s going to be out a lot,” but he didn’t pinpoint an exact date or event where his supporters could see her. She didn’t make an appearance during the South Carolina primary, so it’s unclear how supportive Melania truly is of her husband’s third run for president. 

The last time Melania gave Donald Trump a vote of confidence in his run for the White House again dates back to May 2023. She told Fox News, “He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength. My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again.” Without a cameo on the campaign trail, Melania again feels like a very reluctant bystander to her husband’s political ambitions.

Monica Lewinsky Continues To Rewrite Her Narrative With an Unexpectedly Fierce Campaign https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2966153/monica-lewinsky-reformation-workwear-collection/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2966153/monica-lewinsky-reformation-workwear-collection/#respond Tue, 27 Feb 2024 16:16:31 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2966153 Monica Lewinsky has continually chosen to rewrite her narrative and she’s doing it in the perfect way with a new partner. On Monday, Feb. 26, the 50-year-old author debuted the “You’ve Got the Power” campaign with Reformation’s stunning workwear collection. In addition to the gorgeous designs, Lewinsky is encouraging people to use their voice and power to vote this election year.

“Together with Monica Lewinsky and Vote.org, we’re reminding you that you’ve got the power,” Reformation’s website proclaimed. “And that you need to vote this year.” Lewinsky shared why she decided Reformation was the right partner in a year when “the stakes are especially high.” She told Variety, “It’s pretty simple: Voting is using our voice to be heard and it’s the most defining — and powerful–aspect of democracy. I’m excited and grateful to be working with Reformation to remind people to register, use their voice and vote! A Ref woman is an empowered woman – and an empowered woman uses her voice.”

The fashions also fiercely served up modern power, delivering a slouchy blazer that feels like it’s right out of Meghan Markle’s closet to a crisply tailored skirt and vest that’s a modern twist on Wall Street wardrobe. (You can see the photos HERE.) Lewinsky looks incredibly confident in the campaign and that’s exactly what Reformation was hoping would shine through. “Monica’s been empowering women to use their voices and feel powerful for a long time, so it just makes sense that she’d help us do the same,” the brand said in a statement to the outlet. “And while great clothes won’t fix everything, putting them on and going to the polls is a pretty good place to start.”

The former White House intern spent decades reflecting on the Bill Clinton scandal that seemed to affect her more than him. He was able to easily move on with his life while she was bullied by the press and critics over their affair. Let’s just remember that he was the one in the position of power while she was in her early 20s. Lewinsky spoke about the “devastating consequences” of her actions a 2015 TED Talk entitled “The Price of Shame.”

“Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply,” she said in her TED Talk. “In 1998, after having been swept up in an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before.” Lewinsky learned to recapture her magic through her courage to tell her side of a then-tabloid tale that shouldn’t have been her burden to begin with.

Melania Trump's Contentious White House Relationship With Ivanka Is Revisited in First Ladies Book https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2965499/melania-trump-ivanka-battle-press-attention-book/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2965499/melania-trump-ivanka-battle-press-attention-book/#respond Mon, 26 Feb 2024 16:53:55 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2965499 If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission.

Melania Trump’s contentious relationship with her stepdaughter, Ivanka Trump, was extensively covered during Donald Trump’s four-year administration. White House insiders revealed that they were constantly jockeying for press attention and the first lady position, and now, an upcoming book by Katie Rogers, American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden, is examining their frosty friendship even further. 

Melania’s decision to stay in New York while her son, Barron, completed his school year is likely where the war began. It gave Ivanka time to establish her unpaid adviser role while taking on a few first lady duties for herself which had the full support of her dad. According to an excerpt obtained by Radar Online, Melania called Ivanka “The Princess” behind her back — there was no love lost between the two women.

WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 20: U.S. President Donald Trump (R), stands with his wife first lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, inside of the inaugural parade reviewing stand in front of the White House on January 20, 2017 in Washington, DC.

While they did their best to steer clear of each other once Melania moved to Washington, D.C., they were constantly “locked in a quiet competition for press coverage.” The book claims that the former first lady was “obsessed” with how she was perceived by the media and the public, researching “every mention of her name in the press and often trawled Twitter to see what the press, her critics, and her supporters were saying about her.”

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff detailed similar allegations in her 2020 book, Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady. “Melania lived in New York. She didn’t appear in public or release statements to the press. Her social media was quiet,” Wolkoff wrote. “Ivanka rushed in to fill the void as ‘acting’ First Lady, issuing constant social media posts and press releases galore about her involvement with women’s issues, lobbying Daddy about climate change (alas, unsuccessfully), and attending every meeting she could slink her way into.”

Michael Schmidt’s book, Donald Trump v. The United States, also called out Ivanka for trying to push out Melania and become the first lady in “ceremonial ways.” The feud required the real first lady to establish “firm boundaries” with Ivanka once she landed in the White House. It doesn’t sound like it was an easy relationship, whatsoever, and the two women still don’t appear to be close over three years after they left Washington, D.C.

Prince Harry's Visa Seems To Be a Donald Trump Priority if He Wins the 2024 Presidential Election https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2965350/prince-harry-visa-at-risk-donald-trump/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/2965350/prince-harry-visa-at-risk-donald-trump/#respond Mon, 26 Feb 2024 14:54:52 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2965350 Prince Harry has dealt with plenty of blows after his exit as a working royal, but he probably didn’t expect to face a U.S. enemy like Donald Trump. The former president, who is running for the White House for the third time, seems to have a plan in place if he’s elected when it comes to the Duke of Sussex’s visa. 

Harry’s immigration status has been up for debate by the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation. They believe he cannot legally reside in the U.S. after his admitted drug use in his 2023 memoir, Spare. The group sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with claims that Harry received special treatment as a royal when he received his visa. John Bardo, who represents the DHS in court, doesn’t seem that bothered by Harry’s book. He said in a recent hearing, per The Telegraph, “The book isn’t sworn testimony or proof, saying something in a book doesn’t necessarily make it true.”

Now, Donald Trump has entered the chat with his opinion on the case because he seems to be very invested. “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable,” the former president told the Express at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday. “He would be on his own if it was down to me.” Donald Trump also took a shot a Joe Biden, adding, “I think they have been too gracious to him after what he has done.” What Donald Trump seems to forget is that it was under his administration in 2020 that Prince Harry’s visa was approved. 

In his book, Harry discussed taking psychedelic mushrooms (at Courteney Cox’s house!), cocaine, and marijuana when he was younger. The “black diamond mushroom chocolates” seem to be a very Hollywood story that reportedly included Will Arnett as they crashed at Cox’s house for a few days. The group spotted the chocolates in the fridge, and they were encouraged to partake in them. “Someone behind me said they were for everybody,” Harry wrote in his book. “Help yourself, boys.” The Duke of Sussex alleged that he then found himself hallucinating in the Friends star’s bathroom and believing that her trash can was talking to him. 

It sounds like an unhinged Los Angeles night for the royal, but it isn’t proof that he was a drug user since it’s considered a story in his memoir. But if Donald Trump is elected president in 2024, he might just give Harry a hard time — even though the U.S. has much bigger problems than one former royal’s visa. But Donald Trump will stay loyal to Queen Elizabeth II forever. “What a grand and beautiful lady she was,” he wrote on Truth Social after her 2022 death. “There was nobody like her!”
