Singer-songwriter Valories shared a video of a hilarious and genius prank her Memaw planned, and we can’t stop laughing. Valories pinned a clip to her TikTok account that shows an “adventure” she took with her Memaw last year. That adventure was a trip to Walmart, where the two pulled a fast one on shoppers. “When your grandmother asks you to partake in her prank idea…you partake in her prank idea,” she captioned over the video. Her grandma’s idea was simple and perfect—bring a bag filled with sticky googly eyes to the store and place them on anything and everything. @itsvalories any day with Memaw is an adventure ♬ Dead End – Valories Valories recorded her Walmart trip and patched together a minute-long sample of where they placed the tiny eyes. She and her Memaw put them on models in advertisements and posters and used them to make faces on product boxes. All the while, Valories’ grandma laughed herself to tears. Memaw also put eyes on an egg inside a carton, which was our favorite part of the prank. We imagine an unsuspecting shopper opened the carton one morning to find their breakfast looking back at them. Fans Can’t Stop Laughing Over Memaw’s Reactions Over 12 million tickled people watched the video and loved every second of it because, in a world full of mean-spirited and destructive pranks, this one was innocent and silly. “This is a real prank,” someone wrote. “Everyone laughs, no one gets hurt.” “That’s hilarious!” added another fan. “Memaw seems like fun!!” “That’s gold, made me laugh multiple times,” someone admitted. “Do you know how hard that is nowadays?” “Her losing her mind at every single one is killing me,” a fan shared. “I miss my nana so much .” Memaw kept her prank going all the way through checkout, too. As the devious duo waited to pay for the items they’d picked along the way, they added some googly flair to the magazine rack, and Memaw wouldn’t contain her laughter.

NBA legend Dwyane Wade launched an online community providing a "safe space" for transgender youth. Helping Wade announce the new website focusing on LGBTQ communities of color was Zaya Wade — the 16-year-old child of the former Miami Heat star, who publicly transitioned to a transgender individual from a biological male at the age of 12. The website is called Translatable — a self-described "safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth to express themselves and is a resource hub for their parents, families, and support systems."The famous father and child launched Translatable in a video released on Thursday. "Translatable, aims to serve as a community safe space for youth to express themselves through a number of creative outlets," Zaya says in the video. "Here at Translatable, we focus on communities of color, center the most marginalized, and emphasize the importance of parents and family."The NBA Hall of Famer adds, "Translatable was also a resource hub for parents, families, and support system of the LGBTQIA+ youth. For our family, we were blessed to have a community of supporters and knowledgeable experts who could swiftly arm us with the tools we needed to support Zaya and her journey.""We recognize the lack of digestible and relatable information available to youth and families, especially communities of color," Dwayne continues. "And to this day, we are still learning."Wade says he is "so very proud of the daughter I've had the opportunity to raise.""She has been my biggest educator and inspiration of what it means to be true to you," the basketball star stresses. "That's why it's so important to create a collaborative space for the community to participate in the conversation and express themselves freely."Wade concludes, "We want to emphasize that the learning never stops. You can expect to see ever-evolving content and resources to keep you up to date and Translatable."Last week, Dwayne Wade was presented with the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award in "recognition of his advocacy for the transgender community and for his work with the Wade Family Foundation."Wade – who reportedly has a net worth of $170 million – was also awarded $250,000 in unrestricted funding for winning the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award. Wade said he would channel the money into the Translatable endeavor. Carolina Garcìa Jayaram – the Elevate Prize Foundation’s CEO – said, "Dwyane Wade epitomizes the ethos of our foundation. His influence extends beyond the sports arena into social justice, a realm he has championed since early in his NBA career. Wade's public support for trans rights, especially after Zaya came out, has been deeply inspirational."Zaya Wade was originally named Zion Malachi Airamis Wade. Zaya – who turns 17 this week – had desired to transition to the opposite gender since the age of 3, according to her father. Wade legally made a name change and officially switched genders after a six-month court battle in February 2023. Siohvaughn Funches-Wade — Zaya's mother and ex-wife of Wade — objected to her child's transgender transition throughout the legal process. The mother wanted to delay the teen's ability to legally change genders until the minor was an adult.However, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled in favor of allowing the teen to switch genders. As Blaze News reported in April 2023, Wade revealed that he moved his family out of Florida over the state's LBGTQ laws. Wade said in an interview at the time, "A lot of people don't know that. I have to make decisions for my family, not just personal, individual decisions."He noted that he loves Miami, and Florida's tax benefits are desirable, but added, "My family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there. And so that's one of the reasons why I don't live there."Dwyane Wade has launched his online community website focused on castrating black kids. pic.twitter.com/YXMmU4K4zt— Mythinformed (@MythinformedMKE) May 26, 2024 Like Blaze News?

Actor Glen Powell — who gained notoriety for his role as a talented, cocky pilot in "Top Gun: Maverick" and then fast-rising stardom opposite Sydney Sweeney in "Anyone but You" — is moving out of Hollywood after 15 years.In fact, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Powell is already gone — to Texas. Specifically, Austin. There he will be closer to family and complete his college degree, the outlet said.'He’s like, ‘Hollywood is the Matrix, man. You plug in and it’s all fake world.' He’s like, ‘Then I go to Austin, and I unplug. It’s all real. Those are my friends, that’s my family, my actions matter there.''“It’s like I’ve earned the ability to go back to my family," Powell noted to the Reporter.As with other actors in recent years, Powell has found Hollywood's appeal wanting and, on a deeper level, he also was having difficulty determining what was real and who was real in his life, the magazine said.So, according to the Reporter, Powell took the advice of superstar actor Matthew McConaughey. Photo by Rick Kern/Getty Images“He’s like, ‘Hollywood is the Matrix, man. You plug in and it’s all fake world,’” Powell recalled to the outlet. “He’s like, ‘Then I go to Austin, and I unplug. It’s all real. Those are my friends, that’s my family, my actions matter there.’ And he’s right. If you’re here, you live in the Matrix all the time, there’s no separation of those worlds. And for me, especially as my parents get older and my niece and nephew are growing up, I want a separation of those worlds.”The Reporter said Powell bought a house 30 minutes from his parents, adding that "some combination" of his mom and dad and his two sisters "visit every project that Powell’s on, no matter where in the world he is." The outlet added that they "also keep him out of his head, and they make everything more fun."Powell's mother Cyndy — who once worked in the Reagan administration and has been an extra in nearly every movie her son has been in — told the Reporter, “I know we’re probably in his way sometimes, but you wouldn’t know it because he makes everyone feel loved and taken care of."Tossing TinseltownAs Blaze News readers no doubt know by now, a number of well-known thespians have ditched their Hollywood digs in recent years:Earlier this month, it was revealed that actor Adrian Grenier said he departed Hollywood for a life in his own farming community in Texas after years of a "hedonistic" lifestyle.Also in May, stuntman and "Jackass" star Steve-O said he's leaving Hollywood in favor of Tennessee, where there's more land, lower taxes — and he can have "full-blown gun parties.""Rocky" icon Sylvester Stallone earlier this year announced he and his family were moving out of California, where they'd lived for decades, to Florida.Last year actor Scott Baio also ditched California for Florida after 45 years. He stated the reasons bluntly: "Between the homeless defecating on the sidewalk, doing drugs on the sidewalk in the middle of the day, illegal aliens all over the place, laws mean nothing, crime is out of control, graffiti on everything, and all my tax dollars I don't know what they go for."In 2022, Mark Wahlberg said he was moving from California to Nevada to "give my kids a better life" and because it "made a lot more sense for us."Comedian and actor Rob Schneider explained why he moved out of California in 2022: "I really feel like I don’t want the Democratic Party trying to run my life. And there’s not one aspect of your life that they don’t want to interfere with."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
