Wildest group chat moments from ‘The Office' cast revealed
It's been more than a decade since The Office ended, but the bond between its beloved cast remains stronger than ever, especially in their group chat. Angela Kinsey, who played the uptight Angela Martin on the hit NBC sitcom, recently opened up about their ongoing digital friendship in an interview with PEOPLE. The cast's group chat, affectionately named 'Office Peeps,' is far from your average celebrity thread. 'Interestingly enough, I feel like Rainn [Wilson] checks in the most, which is very sweet,' Kinsey shared. 'And I don't think anyone's annoying, but the most random will be Creed [Bratton], and I think that's very on brand.' Kinsey recalled one of Creed's more memorable contributions, a bizarre Christmas song featuring a floppy Santa hat. 'You never know what you're going to get,' she laughed. She also shared that her children have recently started watching the series for the first time. Their reaction? Less than favourable for her character. 'They thought I was too mean to Phyllis,' she admitted with a smile. Reflecting on her favourite filming moments, Kinsey pointed to the scenes shot in the show's famously cramped conference room. 'We're all in there for hours and hours,' she said. 'That's when everyone starts oversharing, doing silly bits, and cracking up. It felt like camping; you get a little loopy.' Fans of The Office have even more to look forward to this fall, as a spin-off series titled The Paper is set to debut in September on Peacock. Though Kinsey won't be reprising her role, the project is helmed by original creator Greg Daniels and promises a fresh story set at a newspaper.

21 Pictures Of Pets Before And After Being Adopted
I don't know about you, but whenever I need to feel something, I run over to the "BeforeNAfterAdoption" subreddit where families are encouraged to share photos of their rescued animals. Here are pets whose lives have been forever changed by a good home: These two dogs were found locked inside a cage amongst trash. A new family stumbled upon them, freed them, and gave them a home. Before and after: This little one was found dirty and barely moving. A little medicine, and she's a whole new cat. Before and after: This is Tabsi. She had been hit by a car and badly injured before rescue. This is her now! Before and after: Vets were not initially confident in this kitty's survival. But he's thriving! Before and after: This pup was close to starving. Now he's well fed and beyond loved. Before and after: This is Flynn, a scrappy street cat. His owner says that now, Flynn has undergone a "10/10 glow-up." Before and after: "Lots of love (and some food of course) can heal 🤍," this dog's owner captioned their photo. And they're so right! Before and after: Adonis arrived at a shelter with a cauliflower ear and a damaged shoulder. Now he's named after the titular, fighting character from Creed. Before and after: Angela joined her family with a serious need of a groomer. Just look at her now! Before and after: Merlin started as a dumpster cat. But he's living the good life now. Before and after: Lucas was shy, nervous, and underfed. Now he loves cuddles, long walks, playing with his toys, and enjoying a good meal. Before and after: Like some of our other friends, Stuart was previously underfed. But he's got more than enough now. Before and after: Mochi was found in a box outside of a Walmart. And his owners fell head over heels in love. Before and after: This kitty's owner said, "The moment [he] arrived in [his] forever home, everything changed. [He] curled up for the first real nap of [his] life — warm, safe, and loved." "Now [he's] got a fluffy coat, a full belly, lots of cuddles, and a human who calls [him] 'the most perfect boy in the universe.'" Before and after: This pup was found tied to a chain. Now, he'll never be chained again. Before and after; Selise Geneva was found abandoned in the street. Now she's a playful kitty who purrs a ton. Before and after: This is Kash. He's gained eight healthy pounds since being rescued. Before and after: Sophie was living in an over-cramped house full of 40 other cats. Now she gets all the one-on-one attention she deserves. Before and after: Here's what this pup looked like when living at a shelter. And this is him now, in a loving home. Before and after: Mr. Beans was a bit timid at first... ...but he's got a huge personality now. Before and after: And finally, this dog's owner said he was sick and up for euthanasia when found. Eight weeks later, and he couldn't be better! Before and after: If you adopted a pet, share their before and after photos in the comments. They could be featured in an upcoming post. <3

Jordan North fights back tears after being reunited with dog he rescued
Capital FM host, Jordan North, jumped into the River Thames in December to rescue a Labrador, who had accidentally tumbled in, leaving his owner panic-stricken Jordan North couldn't hide his emotion today when he was reunited with the adorable dog he bravely rescued last year. In December, the Capital FM host was having a quiet stroll along the river in West London when he noticed a chocolate-coloured Labrador floundering in the water. Jumping into action - and the River Thames, Jordan carried the fabulously named Creed Lamar to safety, much to the relief of the dog's owner, Rodas. Today, the I'm A Me Out Of Here! star was reunited with the pooch and his owner as he admitted he was "going to cry" when they surprised him in the studio. Six months after the rescue, Rodas and Creed, were given the chance properly thank Jordan for his "big, selfless act" moment live on Capital Breakfast. Sian Welby and Chris Stark surprised their colleague with a game of 'Pet or Partner' where listeners send in clues and the presenters have to guess whether they're describing a pet or a partner. On Tuesday morning one of the clues was: "He likes to jump into the River Thames and be saved by Jordan North." Desperately trying to clarify what was said as the line went dead, Jordan was stumped, but then in came Creed and Rodas as the presenter sid: "That's Creed, I'm going to cry." Recalling the eventful night last year in which she almost lost Creed, Rodas said: "Me and my mum actually take Creed out to the park and tire him out, and off the lead we walk through the riverside and we were walking at night and the barrier tends to go lower and we didn't realise that and I think he saw a duck or something and he just jumped in! "I was about to jump in myself, but people were telling me about the currents and the waters and obviously my mum was not going to let me do that, so I'm really thankful to Jordan for jumping the gate." Jordan explained the Creed, who was still a puppy when Jordan rescued him was "really struggling" in the icy water. He said: "When I climbed in, the current was taking him, you could tell he was struggling, he was really struggling wasn't he and I tried to grab him and he fell back in, I was like 'oh no!'" The radio DJ stepped onto a pontoon on the water, but once he had rescued the dog he got stuck on a beam, which prompted a member of the public to raise the alarm. Luckily for Jordan, the RNLI crew were out on a training exercise near Hammersmith Bridge, so they arrived at the scene within three minutes. The crew found Jordan sat on a float life with the dog, as people gathered on the riverbank to shine their phone torches at the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star so the RNLI team could locate him in the dark. Rodas had no idea that it was Jordan who rescued her dog and went straight back to university in Nottingham after the rescue. Explaining that it was only when the story was published in the Press, she put two and two together, she said: "I didn't ]realise] at all, it was exam season at the time, and I was just focused in the library 24/7. "My mum's not on social media she was the one taking care of him. One day my brother was on his bus to school and his friend has his phone out talking about a story of a dog getting saved from the Thames and he was like 'that's Creed!'"
