Reviews of Cher's movies haven't always been complimentary, but if we're to believe Cher, the lackluster nature of the films she appears in isn't necessarily her fault. She was attracted to playing the part of Tess Scali in 'Burlesque' by the quality of the script, but found that when the time came to shoot it, director Steve Antin's vision was completely different to hers.
Cher tried to argue the case for her own interpretation of the character on the set, but her complaints fell on deaf ears, with Antin allegedly telling her that he didn't care for her input, and that the film was really just about the dance sequences anyway. She's acknowledged that the film was a failure, and drove the nail home by labeling Antin a 'really terrible director.' We suspect that's the end of their working relationship.
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.
