Meet woman who was once a waitress in Dubai, now a TikTok Star, became popular after one online video, competed in..., name is...

Meet woman who was once a waitress in Dubai, now a TikTok Star, became popular after one online video, had competed in..., name is... In December 2022, when Rechel Hoco first stepped in Dubai, she wasn't chasing dreams or crowns. She was just looking a way to support her family after her father passed away during COVID. Today, the 24-year-old has become a self-made social media sensation- with over 1 million Tik Tok followers. She even competed at the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant, proudly representing Oriental Mindoro, a province located 140 kilometers southwest of Manlia. About Dubai-based social media star Rechel Hoco While speaking to Gulf News, Rechel revealed that she wasn't sure about her then job as a waitress at a restaurant in Jumeirah. 'It was hard. I wasn't used to working long hours under the sun. But I knew I had to do something,' She said. She recalled how her clip of playing with the trending Lato-Lato captured millions of views overnight. Rechel recounted, 'I told my brother, let's just try one video for fun.' What started as a distraction from her hectic schedule became a life-altering moment. 'I told myself, if people love this, maybe I can do more.' With no industry connections, she proudly hustled her way and became a social media star, with over 1.2 million followers on TikTok alone. From being a content creator to pursuing pageantry Rechel's success was not just limited to social media. She participated in Miss Universe Philippines 2025 that was held on May 2, 2025 in Pasay. Although she didn't secure the crown, but won millions of hearts with her confidence and undeniable charisma. 'I didn't win the crown,' she admits. 'But seeing people cry because I didn't make the top 12… that showed me I had already won their hearts.' She further added, 'Pageants taught me how to be on stage, how to connect with people. It's the best training ground.' Next on Rechel's list is her long-time dream of pursuing acting. 'That was my first goal—not beauty pageants or TikTok. I wanted to be an artist, to be on TV,' she revealed. 'If there's an opportunity, I'll take it. Drama, horror, anything that lets me express myself.' Her story is a reminder that dreams doesn't require limelight, but pure motivation and courage to fulfill.

The Godfather of metal takes his final bow

A voice like thunder, a heart that beat for rock, and a spirit that never stayed down — John Michael 'Ozzy' Osbourne or rather, the Prince of Darkness, who rose from the working-class neighbourhoods of Birmingham to become a global legend, has passed away at the age of 76. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His early life was marked by hardship, mischief, and music. A high school dropout with a stint in prison behind him, Ozzy's path seemed uncertain until he found his true calling in 1968 when he co-founded Black Sabbath. With their debut album, Black Sabbath, that was released in 1970, the band essentially created heavy metal as a genre. Ozzy wasn't just the frontman of Black Sabbath, he was a symbol of rebellion, of survival, of music that refused to be tamed. His infamous on-stage antics — from biting the head off a bat to urinating on the Alamo — shocked the world and built the mythos of a man both revered and ridiculed. Osbourne's solo career took flight in the 1980s, further cementing his reputation as a rock god. Ozzy Osbourne's impact on music is beyond metal; it is colossal. Sure, there were battles with addiction, and some difficult chapters, but he never stopped bringing us joy through music. So many of us picked up instruments because we heard Ozzy or Black Sabbath and felt something click. For me, it wasn't only his vocal style but also his spirit, his bluesy roots and his ability to turn darkness into fun, which served as an inspiration. Ozzy's legacy is a reminder to us to keep doing what we love, despite the setbacks Bruce Lee Mani, a Bengaluru-based musician and frontman of Thermal and a Quarter Albums like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman became classics, while hits like Crazy Train and Mr Crowley turned him into a household name. Later, a new generation came to know him through The Osbournes, a reality show that pulled back the curtain on the chaotic and oddly wholesome life of the rocker and his family – his wife Sharon, and his children Aimee, Kelly and Jack. Behind the wild headlines and chaotic shows was a man who loved deeply — his family, his fans, and the music that saved him. He fought addiction, illness, and his demons, always returning to the mic, in his seventies, like it was home. Ozzy didn't just sing about darkness. He walked through it and somehow came out glowing. As the world dims its lights, the echoes of Ozzy's growl and Sabbath's heavy riffs will ring on eternally. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The eyeliner, the shuffling walk, the voice that was both chaos and charm - Ozzy blurred the lines between legend and lovable lunatic. He was a pop culture phenomenon — wild, weird and unforgettable. OZZY IN POP CULTURE 1970 – Birth of Black Sabbath Ozzy and Black Sabbath release their debut album — forging the sound of heavy metal. A new era begins. 1982 – The Bat incident In a now-infamous moment on stage, Ozzy bites the head off a bat. A shocking act that seals his reputation as metal's ultimate madman. 1991 – 'No more tours': Ozzy announces retirement, but he doesn't stay gone. Fans begin to see the man behind the myth: tired, human, relatable. 2002 – The Osbournes on TV: Ozzy becomes a reality TV superstar. Confused, charming, and hilarious; he invites the world into his chaotic home. 2005–2010 – Meme magnet: His mumbling and misadventures turn into internet gold. Ozzy becomes a meme — and loves it. 2007 – Family Guy cameo: Ozzy appears in animated form, showing he's part of the mainstream cartoon hall of fame. 2010s – From Super Bowl to Skyrim: Ozzy features in video games, TV ads, Comic-Con panels — everywhere pop culture breathes, Ozzy is there. 2020 – Ordinary Man release: A reflective album full of mortality and melancholy — Ozzy opens up like never before. 2022–2023 – Still fighting, still Ozzy: Battling Parkinson's, stepping away from the stage — yet still larger than life in spirit. The world embraces him as both legend and survivor.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi selling UK home for $30 million. Here's why

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have moved out of their house after staying at the Cotswolds-based property in England for about a month. They have listed their UK home for a whopping $30 million (or £22.5 million), The Wall Street Journal reported. Ellen Degeneres has put her UK home with partner Portia de Rossi for sale. DeGeneres, who hosted The Ellen DeGeneres Show until 2022, moved out of California along with de Rossi and relocated to the UK last year, following the re-election of US President Donald Trump. Also read: It was Trump! Ellen DeGeneres admits why she moved to UK Ellen DeGeneres' home for sale Less than a year after shifting to England, DeGeneres and de Rossi have now moved on to a new house. They have listed their 43-acre estate in the Cotswolds, dubbed as Kitesbridge Farm, for £22.5 million (roughly $30 million), The Wall Street Journal quoted listing agent Andrew Barnes of UK Sotheby's International Realty as saying. The property was purchased by them for $20 million in spring 2024. Barnes told the news outlet that they carried out "extensive renovation" there, but have now moved to a large, more contemporary estate. Their new house is located nearby to Kitesbridge Farm. Also read: Ellen DeGeneres supports Rosie O'Donnell after Donald Trump says he plans on 'taking away her citizenship' Why is Ellen DeGeneres selling her UK home? In a statement, DeGeneres informed that the new property did not have space for her partner's horses. 'When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses... We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them," DeGeneres said. Situated in Swinbrook, Oxfordshire, the Kitesbridge Farm has a total living space of 16,600 sq ft, which is spread across multiple structures and remains connected through glass walkways. The main house, which has six bedrooms, dates back to the 1700s and remains connected to a two-bedroom guesthouse. Also, there is a separate party barn with a pub, while another building has a heated swimming pool and gym. At the time of purchase, the property was 'quite tired, with a quite basic finish,' according to Barnes. He added that the couple brought 70 workers, who worked for four-and-a-half months to completely renovate the estate, despite the contractors telling them that this would take almost a year to 18 months. After staying there for about a month, they have now moved out, and Barnes said that their new residence looks like it belongs "in Malibu". Kitesbridge Farm remains one of the most expensive properties on the market in the Cotswolds. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi had in August last year sold their house near California's Santa Barbara for $96 million. They purchased that property for about $70 million. FAQs: 1. For how long have Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi been together? According to People magazine, they first met each other backstage at a 2001 concert. 2. When did Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi get married? They tied the knot in 2008. 3. What's the net worth of Ellen DeGeneres? As per Celebrity Net Worth, she has total earnings of $500 million.
