Of all the types of performer who might refuse an on-camera kiss, musicians make the most sense to us. They're not really actors - they're just occasionally required to act for the sake of a music video. Leona Lewis was asked to kiss Chace Crawford of 'Gossip Girl' fame when she was filming the video for 'I Will Be,' but Lewis had other ideas.
At the time of filming, Lewis had a boyfriend. As she didn't consider herself to be an actor - or have any aspirations of becoming one - she felt it inappropriate to put herself in a lip lock with Crawford. She considered it to be cheating, and asked the director to think of another way around it. Lewis must be a woman of considerable willpower - we can think of many people who'd give anything for a moment of passion with Crawford, and some of them are married!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
