Paris Hilton Shares Heartfelt ‘Mindful Moment’ with Son Phoenix and Puppies After Losing Her Malibu Home in LA Fire

Paris Hilton is taking time to appreciate the little joys of life and wishes her fans could do so too. In a video posted to her Instagram on Sunday, January 19, the 43-year-old reality star and mother of two shared footage of her 2-year-old son, Phoenix, cozily napping in a blanket alongside two of their puppies. “Some sleepy Pheeny and puppy footage for your feed,” she said of her eldest in her caption. “Through everything that’s going on around us, sometimes we need an adorable reminder to take a mindful moment for ourselves. #SlivingMom.” Hilton often includes the #SlivingMom hashtag in her posts.

In Her, Spike Jonze’s 2013 sci-fi love story, Phoenix fell for an unexpected love interest: a voice-controlled AI named Samantha, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Yep, a computer operating system. It sounds weird, but it led to one of Phoenix’s most raw and emotionally charged performances ever. Phoenix saw something special in Her. In an interview with Reuters, he admitted, “I thought it was really interesting and unique, that there was this great emotional center you could grab onto, that it wasn’t too esoteric.” Basically, he saw a love story stripped of clichés, something real and raw. It was a chance to explore intimacy and isolation through a futuristic lens—and Phoenix was all in. Before Her, Joaquin Phoenix had Oscar nominations for Gladiator, The Master, and Walk the Line. But Her Oscar snub hit different because of the buzz surrounding his expected nomination. Critics loved how Phoenix made Theodore Twombly deeply relatable. The National Board of …

Why Is Phoenix Cinema in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland Significant? Find Out as Cillian Murphy & Wife Yvonne McGuinness Plan Its Revival and Expansion.

Cillian Murphy is in the limelight once again, much to his dislike, for the right reasons. The Phoenix Cinema in Dingle, County Kerry, is getting a fresh start thanks to the Oppenheimer actor and artist Yvonne McGuinness, his wife.
