23. Lance Bass and Michael Turchin

Former NSYNC star Lance Bass and his husband Michael Turchin must have really enjoyed the romance of getting engaged, because they did it twice! Bass first started dating actor and artist Turchin in 2011 and went on to get engaged in September 2013. For whatever reason, they confirmed they'd got engaged a second time in September 2014 (perhaps there was a brief fall-out!) and proceeded to get married in the December of that year.

In 2018, having been happily married and settled for four years, they decided the time was right to extend their family, and welcomed their first child through a surrogate. Bass and Turchin made history during their wedding ceremony; they exchanged their vows on a specially-filmed reality television show which was broadcast on E! in February 2015. When it was transmitted they became the first same-sex couple to have their marriage recorded and shown on cable television.

Did You Know...

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.
