Everyone wants the internet's favorite dog Tiki to be a 'foster fail' — here's why it's not happening.
There's a new main character on the internet — and he's a dog. His name is Tiki, and his journey from scared to thriving pup is inspiring thousands. Earlier this year, a fluffy, small dog named Tiki was brought into the New York City ASPCA's care with three other dogs from the same undisclosed situation. But the ASPCA knew that Tiki wouldn't do well in the shelter — he was shut down and wouldn't let anyone touch him. That's when the ASPCA contacted Muddy Paws rescue, which helps place shelter dogs in foster homes in both New York and Kentucky. Muddy Paws then reached out to Isabel Klee, a Brooklyn-based writer who runs the SimonSits social media accounts and has fostered more than 20 dogs. 'I wasn't planning on taking in a foster dog this soon, but Tiki just stole my heart,' Klee told Yahoo News about the dog, whose hair around his eyes was shaved following double-cherry eye surgery, revealing an adorable raccoon-like mask. 'We didn't know if he was able to get better, so it was kind of up in the air of what the story would be — we all took a risk on it.' When Tiki was initially placed under Klee's care, he would not even lift his head in his carrier, or leave it to relieve himself. Treats went uneaten, and attempts to coax him out of his cage failed. But slowly over time something happened. Thanks to Klee's slow, careful nurturing, Tiki slowly came out of his shell. 'We started him in his crate, and then we put a little gate around the crate, and we just kind of have been slowly expanding his world one day at a time,' Klee said. That patience worked. Bit by bit, Tiki blossomed — and the internet watched as he took his first bite of cheese from Klee's hand, left his crate to explore the apartment and even played with his foster brother Simon. Now millions are following Tiki's journey, with Klee's videos regularly receiving more than a million likes. 'At this point I'd watch a 24/7 live feed of Tiki's every move,' one TikTok user wrote. 'All I'm saying is whoever is lucky enough to get Tiki better be good to him bc he is TikTok's favorite pup!' another gushed. 'Tiki we are manifesting the best family for you so your mama Isabel can continue this amazing work with other puppies,' a third said. Others praised Klee's patience with Tiki. 'You undid a lifetime of fear and trauma for him in ~3 weeks,' one person commented. 'We don't deserve dogs but you definitely do.' Stars like Kylie Kelce are also reacting to the pup's glow-up: 'Please tell Tiki we are so proud of him!!' the podcaster wrote in the comments section of one of Klee's Tiki TikToks. Rosie O'Donnell shared, 'so exciting to watch the progress- thank u amd tiki.' Meanwhile, the podcast Chicks in the Office, hosted by Francesca Mariano and Maria Ciuffo, gushed about their love of Tiki. For followers of Tiki, things just keep getting better. On May 21, Klee posted an update: Tiki played with his very first toy, a stuffed sunny-side-up egg. 'He was so shut down and depressed when we got him that I could have never predicted he would have such a silly personality,' Klee said. 'He is such a great representation of what dogs can be like when they are fully decompressed and when they're given a space to be themselves.' While so many people want Klee to adopt Tiki, Klee has a very good reason she's not becoming a 'foster fail' and keeping him — noting that there are more than 6 million animals entering the shelter system each year, with more than 600,000 euthanized last year alone due to having no place to go. 'There are millions of Tikis around the world — millions of Tikis who need me and need us,' Klee said, noting that since she started posting about her fostering experience she has received 'hundreds of messages' from people saying they were inspired to foster. 'The other argument is, how will he ever learn to trust again? And my answer is, I've seen it happen again and again with every single one of my fosters,' Klee said. 'Each and every one of them is so incredibly happy in their homes.' Mallory Kerley, the marketing director of Muddy Paws, spoke to Yahoo News about how fosters like Klee are a vital part of ensuring that adoptable dogs remain out of shelters and find their way to forever homes. 'Fostering is an incredible thing that people can do to help local dogs in their communities who are in shelters,' she said. 'We hear a lot of feedback from people who say, 'I could never do it. I would keep them all,' or 'It would be too hard.' But what we really want people to understand is that you can. Keeping a foster is not the end of the world, but we have fosters in our community who have fostered more than 100 dogs. Maybe they keep one or two, but the vast majority of our fosters do get their dogs adopted.' Kerley explained that pulling a dog from a shelter — which can be a stressful place for dogs, even as the shelters are 'doing their best with limited resources' — and getting them into a foster home can be extremely helpful in getting a dog adopted. That's because when a dog is in a foster home, they are able to navigate 'realistic situations that they'll encounter when they're an owned dog,' such as going out for walks, seeing dogs on the street or interacting with children. It's also a way to assess a dog's preferences, and for rescues like Muddy Paws to 'really get to understand the dogs in our care and be able to match them with a family based on what that family is looking for and what that dog needs.' Klee told Yahoo that being a great foster parent to a dog is all about meeting the pup where they're at. 'I think a lot of people adopt a dog or foster a dog, and they want to see change overnight,' Klee said, noting that there can be hurdles to overcome, like accidents in the house or excessive barking. 'But remembering how overwhelming it is and how scary it is for them is the most important thing. That has really allowed Tiki to blossom — he knows that I'm never gonna push him past his comfort zone.' Tiki is set to be up for adoption in just a few weeks — and, naturally, the internet-famous dog is receiving plenty of interest. Klee is not a part of that process, something she thinks would be 'so much pressure.' 'I'm sad,' she said, 'but it's really such a wonderful thing.'

Zoe Kravitz is dwarfed by hunky 'beau' Noah Centineo who looks unrecognizable with long hair
Zoë Kravitz was spotted out in New York City with her rumored boyfriend Noah Centineo, 28. Only the To All the Boys I've Loved Before star was nearly unrecognizable and looked nothing like the clean cut and dashing rom com star he's played in the past. Noah's hair and beard were completely over grown, giving him a totally different look. Zoë and Noah were seen walking though Manhattan with the High Fidelity star, 36, looking casual in a cropped grey t-shirt and low-rise brown pants. The Sierra Burgess is a Loser star, meanwhile, looked cozy in a white sweatshirt and black overalls with one of the straps undone. Zoë carried a brown tote bag and red jacket while Noah had his hands shoved deep into his pockets. Zoë and Noah have been spotted with each other since February, four months after the Blink Twice director split from her fiancé Channing Tatum, 45. Channing, and Zoe were romantically involved for three years and engaged for one before they called off their wedding at the end of October. Noah's new look is worrying to his fans as his face appears heavier and he looks downtrodden in most of his pics. He also has red circles around his soulful brown eyes. In February, Noah opened up about his sobriety journey, which started in his early 20s. 'I was so unhappy,' he said on the Chicks in the Office podcast about his rise to fame. 'I was able to pay my bills for the first time. I was completely financially stable and secure. I was working regularly, and I was doing a lot of drugs. Nothing crazy. I was doing drugs a lot. And drinking all the time, every day and I was young.' 'I was 20 years old and I had been doing that for a couple years. So, I had a career that I was proud of. I was making enough money to pay my rent and put a little bit away. You would think I should be super stoked and super happy, and I just wasn't.' Noah, who began sobriety at 21, revealed he started drinking again around the 2021 release of To All The Boys: Always and Forever. But he quickly determined that alcohol wasn't something he wanted in his life. 'One day I woke up and the world looked different.' 'It felt like it was the same world, but I was looking at it, and it felt like something had broken a little bit, and it scared me.' 'I realized that I needed to dry out, sober up and take a look at myself and take inventory to see what that change was. And to get back to myself.' 'You get to really confront things. If you're drinking you don't really have to worry about things. 'It's a good way to numb yourself or self-medicate. And then you have to find healthier ways to deal with those things,' he said. In 2020 he shared that in his early 20s he was doing just about 'everything' when it came to drugs. 'I smoked a lot of things. I was really upset, man. It was a really dark time in my life,' he told Harpers Bazaar as he posed for the men's digital cover. 'There wasn't really much I wouldn't do. I never, ever injected anything, which is good,' he said, adding that he and friends would 'take Molly and talk for five hours and like get to the bottom of some really deeply philosophical existential questions.' In 2018, he told fans that he was 'completely sober' and doesn't smoke, drink, or do drugs — but had done them a lot before getting clean. He shot to fame portraying Peter Kavinsky in the To All the Boys I've Loved Before film series, establishing himself as a teen heartthrob

Young Sheldon star Emily Osment files for divorce just months after wedding
Actor Emily Osment has filed for divorce from her husband, musician Jack Anthony Farina, after less than five months of marriage. The 32-year-old Hannah Montana alum filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple wed on 12 October and separated on 7 December, according to court documents. They do not have any children. This was the first marriage for Osment, the younger sister of actor Haley Joel Osment, who made his breakthrough in the psychological thriller The Sixth Sense. She rose to prominence playing Lilly Truscott, the best friend of the title character in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, played by Miley Cyrus. Osment later starred in the sitcoms Young & Hungry and Young Sheldon, and currently appears in the Young Sheldon spinoff, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. The news of the divorce was initially reported by TMZ. Farina is a DJ, music producer and singer-songwriter. He releases music on Soundcloud under the name Farina. Osment has previously said that Hannah Montana, which ran from 2006 to 2011, changed her life. However, she previously revealed she has never watched any episodes of the teen sitcom. 'I can't even tell you whether I've watched it at all — is that terrible?' she said when asked on the Chicks in the Office podcast, adding that there was an exception. 'I remember watching the premiere because they had a party for us on stage,' Osment said. 'And I remember that was such an interesting time, because we had no idea what it was going to be, that it was just going to be this sensation that, like, swept the world.' The actor also recalled times spent with Cyrus and how 'everything changed' after Hannah Montana aired on TV. 'Miley used to come with me to my school dances and, like, nobody knew who she was and then immediately everything changed,' Osment said. 'And that was very strange.'

Drew Barrymore addresses 'sexual chemistry' with Adam Sandler
Drew Barrymore thinks her friendship with Adam Sandler goes beyond "hot, sexual chemistry". The 49-year-old Hollywood icon has starred in a string of movies opposite 58-year-old Sandler, including The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates. While the pair frequently play lovers on-screen, they are nothing more than friends and colleagues off-screen and Sandler has been married to Jackie Sandler, 50, since 2003. Opening up about her on-screen husband on Watch What Happens Live, Barrymore declared, "I mean, I love that Adam Sandler and I are so platonic... We never dated, his wife Jackie is my dear friend." Explaining the secret to the convincing romantic scenes that they have played on screen, the ET icon said it is all down to mutual respect. She said, "I love being in films with him, because I think we're representing something bigger than hot, sexual chemistry. We're representing true admiration of another person." In 2022, Barrymore shared hope of making another movie with Sandler - with 2014's Blended being their last. She told the Chicks in the Office podcast, "I want to do another movie with Sandler. We've done it every 10 years, and it's about to be 10 years. I think that would make me so happy." Sandler will soon be seen on screens in a coming-of-age comedy-drama called Jay Kelly and in the sports comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2 - both expected to be released this year.

A year after Anti came out, she collaborated with N.E.R.D. on their song Lemon, and released the hit Wild Thoughts with DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller. More recently, she worked with PartyNextDoor on the 2020 single Believe It, and contributed the Oscar-nominated ballad Lift Me Up to the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022. In 2023, Rihanna headlined the Super Bowl Half-Time Show, which led to rumours that she could be about to head out on tour. However, she later insisted that this would not be the case until she had 'new music' and… well… we're still waiting. Smurfs is due to hit cinemas in July, boasting an all-star cast that also includes Hannah Waddingham, Oscar winner Octavia Spencer, Natasha Lyonne, James Corden, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris and Nick Offerman.
