If you thoughtJason Statham couldn’t possibly top the madness of Crank, just wait until you see what’s powering his heart in Crank: High Voltage. The 2009 sequel to the cult action hit is not only flying high on streaming charts — it’s also heading back to theaters for one night only. That’s right: Crank: High Voltage will screen at Alamo Drafthouse in Raleigh on June 25 for one night only. Why would you wanna see it? Well, let's go back to the first movie.
Yes, this is the one where Statham’s Chev Chelios falls out of a helicopter at the end of the first movie and somehow survives. But that’s only the beginning. In Crank 2, Chev wakes up to find that his heart has been stolen by Chinese gangsters and replaced with a battery-powered artificial heart that only runs for an hour unless he keeps electrocuting himself.

Meghan Markle has been called out for what appears to be, yet again, another publicity stunt. She created a social media post in which she was boasting about helping a 15-year-old LA wildfire victim.
Meghan Was “Determined” To Make Sure The Teen’s Story Reached Billie Eilish
The Duchess of Sussex uploaded a video. The video showed how she helped a teenager after her home burned down in Altadena a few weeks ago.
The young lady was heartbroken after her Billie Eilish T-shirt had been reduced to ash. Meghan told the girl,
“I don’t know Billie Eilish, but I am going to get you that shirt.”
Meghan was determined to make sure the teens’ story reached Eilish, and she succeeded. She displayed her victory in the video as the camera panned over to the Billie Eilish lunchboxes, t-shirts, etc.
Meghan proceeded to name-drop her A-list pals and showed off...

British royal family news shows that Meghan Markle, Duchess Diva was in the making from a very young age. The Los Angeles native was a nepo baby who wanted for nothing—except maybe a missing mother.

Here is the story of how Rachel went from Ragland to riches, as documented in biographer Tom Bower 2022 book, Revenge.
Meghan Markle, Global Superstar?

King George VI was born Albert Frederick Arthur George Saxe-Coburg Gotha 129 years ago, on December 14, 1895, to his parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, and future King George V and Queen Mary.
Prince Albert Developed A Stammer When He Was A Child
The young man was known as “His Highness Prince Albert of York.” However, his family nicknamed him “Bertie.” He was the second son and the spare, as his older brother, Edward VIII, was meant to be King.
The Prince had five siblings: Prince Edward, Prince John, Prince George, Prince Henry, and Princess Mary.
When Albert was eight, he developed a stammer and was forced to wear leg braces to correct his knocked knees. Prince Albert was an emotional child, often throwing temper tantrums and crying.
He carried his emotional nature into adulthood. When his brother Edward abdicated, and Albert found out he’d be King, he broke down...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are the royals most closely associated with abandoning the monarchy and Britain. However, long before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were even a blip on the radar, there was King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.
Edward’s Brother, George, Was Made King Upon Edward’s Abdication
When Edward was made the Prince of Wales on his sixteenth birthday, he enjoyed the life of a playboy and had numerous dalliances, sometimes with married women. His lack of interest in settling down became a source of stress for his father. Everything changed when he met Wallis.
On December 11, 1936, King Edward abdicated the British throne to marry an American socialite and divorcee, whom no one in his family approved of.
Edward’s decision left the UK in a state of shock, and, like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it created a significant rift in the royal family.
