![Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were granted Greek citizenship: jealous? Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were granted Greek citizenship: jealous?](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20200729/20200729_nCLmsCDGDHiODHhN.jpg) With the way America is going these days, many of us are daydreaming about escaping to a beautiful island surrounded by azure waters and good food. If you are a celebrity who does good things for a nation, you too could be granted dual citizenship.
As someone who is always trying to find ways to get another citizenship someplace where life is more simple, it warmed my cold jealous heart to see that Tom Hanks and his Greek-American wife Rita Wilson became official citizens of Greece last year. It was announced by Prime Minister Mitsotakis on his Instagram on Sunday.
I know youre think its because they are privileged with a lot of money. That may be true but they actually received this beautiful gift because of a good deed they did for Greece in 2018. Tom and Rita have been visiting Greece annually for over twenty years. They even bought property on the island of Antiparos. In 2018 they helped raise global awareness and relief after a deadly wildfire near Athens killed 100 people. CNN reports:
In a picture posted on social media by the countrys prime minister, the two proudly hold up their brand new passports.
The couple and their children became honorary Greek citizens last year after officials highlighted Hanks role in helping raise awareness about the 2018 fires that devastated areas near Athens and claimed the lives of more than 100 people.
Tom Hanks is a person who showed real interest in the people who suffered from the fire in Mati and promoted this issue in the global media, Greek Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos told CNN in a statement in December.
Wilson, who is part Greek, and Hanks, a Greek Orthodox convert, have often been spotted spending their vacations in Greece, where they also own property on the island of Antiparos.
The two have produced several films based on the Greek community and never shy away from sharing their admiration for the country and its people.
[From CNN]
I cant keep the jealousy in my heart for long because Tom and his wife continue to show the world what wonderful people they are. Its also lovely to see that doing good deeds does not go unnoticed. And to be fair, they gave us My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Hanks company produced it) and that alone should have been rewarded with permanent citizenship in Greece.
I will continue to daydream about that expat, dual citizenship life while I plug away at whatever job I have. Maybe Ill send Rita and Tom a letter asking them to adopt me. In the meantime, Ill watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding on repeat while eating tzatziki and baklava.

![Kim Kardashian was crying because she's 'exhausted' & 'feels very hurt by Kanye' Kim Kardashian was crying because she's 'exhausted' & 'feels very hurt by Kanye'](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20200729/20200729_KVJbmBGUS_1764589_0011.jpg) Kim Kardashian traveled to Wyoming on Monday to finally see her husband in person. It feels like the worst of Kanye West?s manic episode is over, but I don?t doubt that the ?work? on his album plus his family stress is still very triggering for his bipolar syndrome. As we discussed, this episode felt different from a distance it was the first time Kanye really attacked Kim and her family, and we soon learned that Kim was over it and she is ready to divorce him. Which isn?t to say that she doesn?t care about him she reportedly begged him to see her and accept medical help he kept on refusing. So now it sounds like her arrival in Wyoming was likely Kim?s attempt to force the issue. And that?s why things got so emotional, and why she was seen crying in the car with him.
In photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Monday evening, the pair was seen in an intense conversation upon Kims arrival in Cody, Wyoming ? and the reality star appeared teary-eyed as she spoke with her husband face-to-face for the first time in weeks. A source tells PEOPLE that as soon as Kim got to the ranch, she and Kanye came out together in his car.
Kim is hysterically crying, the source says, adding that Kim hasn?t seen Kanye for weeks. She is very emotional about everything, and also exhausted, the source says. She feels very hurt by Kanye. She has tried to reach him multiple times and he just ignores her. It?s all a bad situation, the source adds. She decided to fly to Cody to speak to him in person. She doesn?t want to be ignored anymore.
A source tells PEOPLE that Kim is making a point to protect their kids ? daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 2, and sons Saint, 4, and Psalm, 14 months ? from their fathers public outbursts. ?She is shielding the kids. All of her family is. They?ve circled around the kids and are insulating them from all of this,? says the source. ?And everyone else has decided to create an atmosphere of normalcy around them. They don?t need to see such a public meltdown,? the source adds.
[From People Magazine]
There was some conversation about what images and storylines are being ?managed? by the Kardashians, because people are really stupid enough to think that the Kardashian-Jenners WANT Kanye out there, making an ass out of himself and pretending to run for president and crying about abortion. I don?t doubt that Kim was partly crying for herself, for the fact that her marriage is not just some glossy Insta-inspo, that she has to deal with some real sh-t. But I also have compassion for her, because I can only imagine how hard it is to have dealt with Kanye?s episodes over the years, and I can only imagine how frustrating it is to have a husband who is incapable of being a full partner in their marriage or a partner in raising their kids. From the looks of the K-J?s social media, Kourtney seems to be the one looking after the Kardashian-West kids at the moment. I think that will ultimately be the reason why Kim leaves because she?ll feel she has to make a choice between putting her energy into her kids versus putting her energy into her husband.
Kim flew back to LA yesterday evening she must have just been in Wyoming for about 24 hours, long enough to check in on Kanye and try to convince him to get more help, only to have him refuse.

![Are Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban breaking Australia's quarantine rules' Are Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban breaking Australia's quarantine rules'](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20200729/20200729_VdFOhBGUS_1822676_001.jpg) Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are back in Australia because she?s about to film a movie there next month. They arrived more than two weeks ahead of the production start date specifically so they could follow the Australian government?s quarantine regulations. Australia has been held up as one of the success stories in the pandemic because they locked down early and thoroughly, and as of this writing, they have had less than 15,000 cases and less than 200 deaths. There is a spike in infections in Victoria which has caused concerns of a ?second wave,? but that?s why Australia is still enforcing strict quarantine and travel rules. One of those rules is about quarantining for two weeks when someone arrives in the country, which is what Nicole and Keith are doing. But the rule is that people have to quarantine in specific government-run hotel rooms where (I would presume) they can be monitored and tested regularly. Nicole and Keith aren?t doing that?
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been caught up in controversy in their native Australia after claims the couple were flouting the country?s ultra-strict quarantine protocols in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Australia, it?s mandatory for citizens arriving from another country to quarantine for two weeks in a government-managed hotel room. According to a report in The Times, the pair were hit with backlash when it was discovered they were able to skip the state-mandated hotel and quarantine at their luxurious home, located 75 miles outside Sydney.
New South Wales Premiere Gladys Berejiklian has stated that there will be ?no exceptions? from the hotel quarantine; however, Kidman and Urban were granted an exemption, even though the published rules state that exemptions will only be granted ?in very limited circumstances on grounds of health or compassion.? New South Wales health authorities, The Times reports, wouldn?t comment on why they couple and their children were allowed to quarantine at their home.
However, Kidman?s publicist, Wendy Day, insisted everything is on the up and up.
?It?s absolute garbage,? Day told The Sydney Morning Herald. ?She is paying for all her own security and following all the rules, they are in isolation.?
Kidman, Day added, is using the time in quarantine to prepare for her new role in Hulu miniseries ?Nine Perfect Strangers?, with the $100-million production scheduled to being production on Aug. 10.
[From ET]
They?re not actually breaking the rules while the local officials have said that ?there will be no exceptions,? it?s clear that Australian authorities are giving exceptions to many high-profile people and celebrities entering the country. I would assume that Nicole and Keith have been told to just stay in their big mansion and not go out at all and that?s what they?re doing. Which is what they would have been doing at a government-run hotel too, although we don?t know the testing protocols and whether or not Kidman & Urban are following those. Basically, Nicole and Keith aren?t technically breaking the rules but they are getting special treatment from the government because they?re rich and famous.
Nicole is also listening to Taylor Swift?s folklore, and Nicole posted this video from behind-the-scenes on the set of Beguiled, a few years ago. Nicole thinks her look on that movie makes her ?folklore sisters? with Taylor. Which is super-cute, honestly.

![Gigi Hadid's very colorful apartment includes dyed pasta cabinets Gigi Hadid's very colorful apartment includes dyed pasta cabinets](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20200729/20200729_NEdcswenn37422101-698x1024.jpg) Gigi Hadid was on my Twitter feed the other night. She does that periodically, so I don?t pay it too much mind. Then I read it was because she was showing off her apartment. I like some good House Pr0n as much as the next person, but I could not be bothered to get that excited about checking out Gigi?s space.
Oh, what a foolish girl I was.
Gigi posted a series of interior shots of her New York apartment to Instagram last Saturday. According to her caption, she?d spent the past year ?designing and curating? it. She also thanked her mother and all her ?favorite creatives? who helped bring it together:
Spent all of last year designing and curating my passion project / dream spot. Of course it all came together right before quarantining out of the city. but I?m excited for the time I?ll get to spend enjoying all the special corners that were made with a lil help from some of my favorite creatives (tap!) who embraced my ideas and didn?t call me crazy. ? ++ my mamma:) who is the greatest homemaking-sounding-board I could ask for (she called me crazy when required) ?? grateful to and for all.
Special thanks to Gordon Kahn!
[From Gigi Hadid's Instagram]
The dcor has just the right amount of chaos I look for from the young-and-beautiful set. My own style is clean lines with a single accent color so when I look at others abodes, I love to see things I wouldn?t do. You can see all her shots here, but let?s examine a few:
Her Living Space:
It looks like an open space plan, which, again, is not my thing (I prefer walls and designated rooms ? must be my conservative upbringing). I love that couch ? it looks like a sectional sofa made up individual oversized chairs. This is a brilliant seating option for an entertaining space, people could group them together or spread them apart to make individual seating areas. I enjoy the patterns and colors that oddly work together. Plus, my Barbie obsession approves of the top magazine cover. I?d like to know more about the orange box. My first thought was it was an elaborate ashtray. I use my folks old ashtrays from the 50s-70s as tabletop dcor so I was down with it. But I think it?s a tinted wood note writing box, with a box for notecards and a spot for the inkwell and fountain pens. It?s very pretty but I would probably use it for its intended purpose at my desk. I know why Gigi doesn?t, though -it?s because her pens won?t fit:
I love the SAFE HERE artwork, I?d place that right by my front door. The room seen through the doorway is a guest bathroom:
It?s weird and funky but by gawd, I love the New Yorker covers on the wall. You would always have something to look at while in there. You know Hildi Santo-Tomas from Trading Spaces just gasped wherever she is.
Gigi?s kitchen is getting a lot of attention. And deservedly so:
There?s almost too much to discuss here. Other than the lights, this is not my design aesthetic, but it does look pretty functional, save for possibly too cluttered counter tops. I don?t bake much but I do roll my own pasta, so I need a counter dedicated to that. Gigi doesn?t though, because she has these fancy pasta cabinets:
Don?t hate me but I love the colored pasta. It might be one of my favorite things about the entire apartment. Those look like display partitions so that pasta will never get used but what a great way to add color to the kitchen (although I like simpler color schemes in other rooms, I prefer a loud, colorful kitchen). They?re side opening cabinets so I doubt they actually hold loose pasta, which is a let down. It?s a creative way to hide any clutter behind they doors, though, although those latches would infuriate if I trying to put a meal together quickly.
I gotta say, this apartment captured my attention long enough to forget Gigi was pregnant. That?s going to be a bitch to baby-proof (lose the pool balls or those dish shelves are about to become target practice). Dlisted discovered this was only one of two apartments Gigi owns in the same building so maybe this will be her escape space or entertaining pad and the 3-bedroom townhouse is where she?ll live with the baby. Being rich sounds nice.
