This is gambling addiction. The cycle never changes… win just enough to feel unstoppable… lose just enough to panic… then redeposit because you’re convinced one more bet will fix everything. Bet it all, lose, redeposit, double down, repeat. It traps you until you can’t tell hope from delusion. That’s... the cycle… it gives you a rush that feels like power and then destroys you. While that was happening, my family was right there in the room. I wasn’t with them. I wasn’t present. I was glued to my phone, chasing something that was never real. Looking back, that hurts the most…the time, the attention, the moments I traded away for a screen. If you’re stuck in this same loop, please reach out. You’re not alone Blaise ❤️show more

In Uncut Gems, when Adam Sandler is breaking down point spreads and lightning bets… that wasn’t entertainment to me, that was my life. I was betting everything… who wins the tip, first basket, next drive punt… If it existed, I bet it. One day I ran it up to $67,000 doing those flash props. Two days later… it was all gone. That’s what this addiction does. It doesn’t stop when you win, it waits until you have nothing left. My DMs are open. Please reach out if you’re struggling. You’re not alone. Blaise❤️

Grant Cardone explains why you'll never reach the next level until you lose something you love. "You have to want it, you gotta be willing to leave everything you have" "It started for me when I was 25, with my drug addiction I had to leave my friends, the girlfriend, everything that was comfortable, the bars, the clubs, the house I lived in, everything, I had to walk away from it all" "I have never had success in my life, not a next level success, without leaving something I loved"

James McAvoy says he was told by an actress that he wasn’t good looking enough to be with her on-screen, and that their relationship wouldn’t feel believable to the audience. “I was told once by an actress that it was an interesting choice, my casting, because nobody would usually believe that I would be with somebody like her. That was a kick in the nuts! I was like, ‘All right, now I’ve got to pretend that I really like you for eight more weeks. This is going to be really tough, because you’re so far up yourself.’ It got really interesting, that relationship.” The actor, who is 5’7″, has revealed he’s lost out on many roles because he was too short. "You’re made to feel like you’re not good-looking enough."

Recognize this video? Millions did. It got picked up everywhere… sports pages, gambling pages, big media accounts. They saw the win… what they didn’t see was what it did to me after. I was at a sports bar when it hit. I bought drinks for everyone there. I was completely sober because I had a 5 AM the next morning volunteering to help a less fortunate community. That was me in that moment… trying to be a good person… trying to do something meaningful with my life. After this hit, everything changed. Normal wins stopped mattering. Small wins felt empty. And I kept chasing something I couldn’t even define anymore… I wasn’t even chasing money anymore. I was chasing the feeling of that moment again. The dopamine. The rush. The escape… I could lose $20,000 and sit at a family dinner laughing like nothing was wrong… while my stomach was in knots and my life was quietly falling apart. That’s the part nobody posts… The chasing. The numbness. The pretending. The biggest bet of my life didn’t save me… it trapped me. Recovery saved me. Reach out if you’re struggling. My DM’s are open.

I got fired… and it changed everything. I was working with the Kardashians early on, helping build and position things behind the scenes. Then I got a call about this new show Shark Tank. At the time, I wasn’t sure. Didn’t know if it made sense. Was still focused on what I was building with them. Then I get another call… “You don’t fit our direction. You’re fired.” Simple as that. What I didn’t realize in that moment? That decision forced me to step into something bigger. I was now available… and that same opportunity I was unsure about became one of the biggest platforms of my life. Sometimes people will remove you from a situation because they don’t see your value there. That doesn’t mean you don’t have value. It means you’re meant to apply it somewhere else. Don’t fight every door that closes. Pay attention to the ones opening right after. Are you holding onto something that’s already letting you go?

Jaylen Brown says he didn’t like that the Boston Celtics didn’t tell him why he was being traded. “I wasn’t thrilled with how the conversation was facilitated. I did feel like it was a lack of respect. At one point it was fine, and then out of nowhere it just went left. I definitely think there’s more to it. There definitely is more to it. I know Brad is getting a lot of criticism, but I just wish more of it could have been explained. I just wish they had the respect to tell me exactly what it was, and I would have understood and respected that… Some of the guys have already reached out from the Celtics, some of the young guys, so I appreciate them… The guys I was able to build with, those guys who reached out to me, all told me, ‘It was a pleasure to play with you, and I appreciate everything that you helped me with,’ so that’s the stuff that gives you more motivation to keep going.”

.Kevin Robert Kesar reflects on his time in NXT: "I've probably played it down in other interviews that I've done, but since we're so far away from it... I'll just tell you the truth, when I was going in there and that was happening, I don't want to say who I called because again it's a private conversation, but I called somebody and I said this all feels really wrong. This all feels messed up and it feels like they're trying to kill my relationship and connection and my equity that I've built up with the audience. That time was all very weird, but I will say those people I was dealing with at the time, just to reiterate it, they're not with the company anymore."

Robert Altman on his Gambling addiction & his attitude towards Gambling: "The reason I was so keen to do 'California Split' (1974) was that for years I wanted to do a gambling film that had nothing but the ambience of gambling, and then point out it had nothing to do with money." Full Excerpt: "I think gambling is just action, and why not? What is there to hoard? I don’t think I have ever jeopardized anybody’s existence by my gambling. Actually, for the last fifteen years or so I’ve been kind of bored with it, because it doesn’t mean anything — what’s the most I could win? Buying lottery tickets, that isn’t gambling. That’s just throwing your hat in the ring. I don’t think gamblers want to lose. But there are people who are addicted to it. At one time I could stand at a crap table for two days — the feeling is like sex. Compulsive gamblers lie to themselves, to everybody. I think I became embarrassed that maybe I was becoming a compulsive gambler. When I was making Tanner ’88, I bet on every game on every day of the baseball season. There’s a moral blanket over gambling. It’s considered immoral, it’s not what you’re supposed to do. I think the greatest theatrical opening scene ever was in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," when the guys are tossing coins, and one of them wins every time. The odds are against that, yet they’re not. Every time you throw a coin, the odds are fifty—-fifty. When you say I’ve thrown heads six hundred times in a row, what are the odds of that happening? Well, mathematically they’re tremendous, but to say that now you’re going to bet on tails because the odds are way in your favour — the odds are not in your favour. So you try this guessing game, ‘I’ve got a hunch, I feel it...’ That was the whole point of California Split, when at the end George Segal turned to Elliott Gould and said, “There was no special feeling.’ He never felt it, because he has nothing to feel! The reason I was so keen to do 'California Split' was that for years I wanted to do a gambling film that had nothing but the ambience of gambling, and then point out it had nothing to do with money." ('Altman on Altman', Edited by David Thompson, 2006)

Jose Aldo confirms he is retiring from all MMA and boxing: "I made the decision right then and there, win or lose, independent of the result, I was sure of what was gonna happen. As you know, I stopped for boxing for a brief period of time and then there was something in my heart that touched me to go back to the UFC. I didn't do it for the money. I did it to continue my story and my history because if it was for the money, I would have gone to another organization and got more money for it. Win or lose, the decision was made... I'm not fighting again. I have other things going on for me."

🐥 Have I ever told you about the time I had sleep paralysis? No? No? It was actually back during Boys Planet. I haven’t had it since then. It was when I was preparing the stage for Switch, which we put together in such a short time. It was one of the hardest times. I wasn’t sleeping in my usual room then. I was sharing a room with a close friend. That night, I fell asleep… and then suddenly, my eyes opened. When I opened them, that friend was sleeping while facing me with his head turned toward me. But I didn’t think much of it, just closed my eyes again. Then I opened my eyes once more and suddenly, that friend was gone! I thought “Ah, maybe he went to the bathroom.” The bathroom was over there, and I was here [middle], and he had been sleeping next to me but wasn’t anymore. So I assumed he went to the bathroom. But then I closed my eyes again and opened them… and someone was standing right in front of my bed. And it was that friend. He was standing there! And then suddenly started sliding sideways, slowly walking toward me. But my body wouldn’t move. I was trying to speak, but all I could do was stare with my eyes open. Just blinking like this. Then suddenly, that friend leaned his head toward my shoulder! Like a drill! At that moment, chills ran all over my body. He kept coming closer, like drilling into me. Then I remembered, if you get sleep paralysis, you can break out of it by starting to move your toes slowly, one by one. So I closed my eyes and started wiggling my toes little by little to wake myself up. Eventually, the paralysis broke. When I finally opened my eyes for real, my friend was right there next to me again, sleeping, facing me exactly as before. Actually… I still haven’t told that friend this story. I was scared it might bring bad luck. That was the first and only time in my life I experienced sleep paralysis. Just imagine it. Your friend is lying next to you sleeping, and suddenly, he is standing by your bed with his eyes rolled back, leaning his head toward you like a drill. That’s scary! That was the first time I ever had sleep paralysis and I haven’t had it since.

Good morning, towel friends. I annotated my interview with Will The Glarer and I thought this section was interesting. "You couldn’t honeypot me if you fucking wanted to. I’ll reverse-honeypot you, motherfucker. Go ahead—try to honeypot me. See what happens. I’ll get more intel out of your agent than you’re going to get out of me." **Grant:** It’s because he doesn’t think straight when he has a woman in front of him, for some reason. **Will:** Grant, you’re projecting, my friend. Grant (Analysis): I mean, that’s what I was going to say to Will. He doesn’t understand this, and I don’t know... I don’t feel a need to defend myself, but you’re out of your mind if you think I didn’t date people in college. I mean, I lost 130 pounds from September 2007 to May 2008—specifically because I was at Boston College and I wanted to date people. I’ve had plenty of relationships. I’m just very disciplined—not because I necessarily wanted to be, but because I heard the call to be a priest in 2013, in the spring, right before I became disabled. I was praying to the Virgin Mary—the Virgin Mother, who’s the patroness of the Jesuit order—outside of Bapst Library. I think it was Bapst. I was praying outside. They have these little shrines to the Virgin Mother all around Boston College. I hope they’re still there; I really liked them. But anyway, I was praying to the Virgin Mother, and I’ll never forget that when you hear the call, it is not a joke. You may not choose to pursue discernment, but you are not getting away from that. It’s not your choice. If you hear the call, you’ve been called to serve. That’s it. It’s not a pact. You’ve literally been called to serve. Your life’s never going to be the same again. I was praying, and I heard the call. It was very clear. The call is different for everyone, but for me, it was like: “The world is yours to behold if you can abscond from your temporal inclinations.” Okay, I know what that means. It was not a choice. My entire life changed from that moment. From that moment on, I never thought about video games or Fridays or the weekend—or women—ever the same way again. I would like to have a partner, to love someone and take on the world together, but I never thought about the world the same way again. So a lot of people don’t understand me. People chase me all the time. I’m not interested in that. I turn people down all the time. I’m not being rude; I just don’t want that. I live to serve. Okay, imagine what it would come down to if I tried to be in the life of every person who wanted me to be intimate with them. I cannot do that. I’m meant to help people. If I was just in one person’s life, I’d have commitments to them and their family—and to my family—that would inhibit me from serving, and I can’t do that. I’m married to the cause: my cause, my principles, and the work that I do. And so it’s not... It’s just that people misunderstand—and will misunderstand—how disciplined I am. I am extremely disciplined over my own urges, over my brain. Everything is just logic. So no, it’s not the same for me. You couldn’t honeypot me if you fucking wanted to. I’ll reverse-honeypot you, motherfucker. Go ahead—try to honeypot me. See what happens. I’ll get more intel out of your agent than you’re going to get out of me. So don’t even do it. Most people don’t even bother because I’ll fuck with their head, and I will take the intel. You have to use intel to get intel, and if the person you’re targeting knows what you’re doing, you’re going to get nothing—and they’re going to rip intel out of your honeypot, and you’re going to end up in a negative tactical position. So that’s why I’m like, “No, Will, no.” I could be in a strip club and trade stocks, motherfucker. It does not affect me at all—at all, whatsoever. Completely disciplined. Zero impact. You couldn’t honeypot me if you wanted to. I’ve seen them try. They did try multiple times—blonde women, brunette women, whatever. I don’t have a type. Okay? I only like intelligent women, and I screen them, so you’re not getting anyone in my orbit at all, ever. My point is, though: No, we’re not the same. Will totally tactically misread that. I am not the same. You cannot do that to me because I’m not really interested in that—not because I don’t find it pleasurable or interesting, but because I’m smarter than that. I work in a very high-level apparatus of government as to the coverage that I do. You’re not honeypotting me. So no, I’ve suppressed those urges, and I don’t want to be involved with that. And the call to serve helped, by the way. It’s just not as interesting when you realize there are so many people to help. Why would you... Like, 97% of the population is there to procreate. We need that to happen. Three percent of the people are going to mold society. All right? You know what I’m saying?

Rooboy- the other day I had issues with Imisi, I regretted it. I realized that after doing all those things, what was my gain. So it is you I feel that’ll lose a thing, you’re the HOH, they’ll just rubbish you. #BBNaija

You’re not stuck because life is against you, you’re stuck because you keep confirming the same thought: “I’m not enough” means -> you don’t act -> nothing changes -> “I’m not enough” And the loop just… continues. Most people never question it, they just live inside it. If you break the thought, you break the pattern. Full video is up on Youtube.

“The reason I put down out 'Bow Down' is I woke up, I went to the studio, I had a chant in my head, it was aggressive, it was angry, it wasn't the Beyoncé that wakes up every morning. It was the Beyoncé that was angry. It was the Beyoncé that felt the need to defend herself. I won't do it everyday because that's not who I am. But I feel strong and anyone that says, 'Oh that is disrespectful.' Just imagine the person that hates you. Imagine a person that doesn't believe in you. …look in the mirror and say 'Bow down bitches' and I guarantee you feel gangsta! So listen to the song in that point of view again if you didn't like it before." - Beyoncé on Bow Down

[ 🐰 when the director says ‘cut!’ there are times when i instantly don’t like my acting. so right at that moment, i ask myself very quickly, “if you tell them you want to do it again now, can you do it well?” i ask myself this same question three times. 👤 can i do it well? x3 🐰 so when i say, “yes! i can do it!” i tell them that i want to do it one more time. then even if i don’t like it, if i think i did my best there, i just move on to the next scene. 👤 there are lots of times when we’re not sure if we can pull it off, right? although you believe in yourself, the fact that you’re judging it itself.. it’s proof that you’re looking at your acting objectively. it’s actually something not everyone can do! 🐰 in theory, it’s like this. but when i’m actually there, “aaah director! how was it? should i do it again?” 😆 👤 it’s not always like that! once in a while after doing it, it’ll be like ‘ah, i think the earlier take was better’ 🐰 yes, there are times like that! “director, the take earlier was better, right?” and then the director will be like, “yeah, we’ll use that one from earlier!” there are times like that. 👤 that makes you human! 🐰 yes, like even if i do it again, it might not work! it can’t be helped! 🤷‍♀️

The day I won $50,000 was supposed to feel life changing… DraftKings and Bleacher Report blasted it everywhere. I was the big winner, the poster boy, the guy everyone wanted to be. But here’s what nobody saw. Within 24 hours, I had gambled every dollar away. Not because I was stupid…but because I was sick. The night after losing it aIl, I vividly remember… Lying in bed alone, phone still in my hand, screen close to my face… staring at numbers that meant nothing but pain. Empty. Numb. Sick to my stomach. Those same posts that made me look like a hero had “gamble responsibly” written at the bottom. I was the irresponsible gambler… front and center… and nobody had a clue. The next morning I put on a fake smile, drove to work, and chased bets at red lights. People were dapping me up saying, Congrats bro, you’re up big! They didn’t know I’d lost everything the night before. That’s the truth about this addiction… it’s silent, it’s lonely, and it destroys you quietly. I’m sharing this because you don’t have to live like that. I’m a grateful gambler in recovery today. If you’re hurting, hiding, or feel trapped…You’re not alone. My DMs are open. Blaise B❤️

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

Asked to reflect on navigating a “hellish” public breakup, Perrie acknowledges that she receives criticism for answering questions about it, “[but] I’m like, ‘But it really affected me massively’”: “People are gonna hate me talking about it… I can’t catch a break. If I talk about this, they’re like: ‘Why are you talking about it?!’ But anyway, shut up! Yeah, [it’s my life]. When you go through heartbreak, it is hellish. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you feel horrendous. You don’t feel good enough and you feel like you’ve been left for something better, or whatever it is… Then what makes it even worse is, I feel like the world was then looking at me, laughing at me. I felt embarrassed; I felt horrified. I had serious breakdowns. I did. Because it wasn’t just the heartbreak I was dealing with. I was dealing with everybody looking at me, and I felt ridiculed. I just couldn’t cope with it; I hated it. I was breaking down in performances, which isn’t like me at all. I was crying constantly. I think I was depressed… I know that sounds ridiculous! But I think it was this plus this plus this, and everything on top. It was like, I had to be there for the girls; I had to be switched on; I had to power through for Little Mix – but I also just wanted to be left the fuck alone. But I also was getting followed every two seconds and asked about it 24/7, and it was the headlines, it was everywhere, and it was a lot! And this is the thing – when people are like, ‘Stop talking about it!’ I’m like, ‘But it really affected me massively’.”
