Unlike so many Hollywood stars, Tom Hanks is a man of the people.

From photobombing wedding snaps, acting as a human lost-and-found and enduring hideously awkward conversations with drunk people, Tom Hanks is the celebrity of everyone's dreams.

So while we weren't especially surprised he reached out to a fan recently, we couldn't help but be touched by his gesture.

After receiving a sketchbook containing pictures of his various movie roles courtesy of artist Denise Esposito, Tom not only responded to the package but even sent a present in return.

Sharing the exciting moment on Facebook, Denise wrote: "For those who don't know the story – I'm trying to make it really short – nearly a month ago I gave him as a gift a Moleskine sketchbook with all his filmography drawn inside."

"He was so impressed that he gave me a present as well," Denise continued. "How amazing life is when your favorite actor sends you a typewriter and a thank you letter? How unbelievably cool is that?"

"I can't stop staring at all of this. When a gesture is worth a thousand words.. and this man really left me speechless."

Paying tribute to Denise's talents, Tom, who is a collector of vintage typewriters, wrote: "Denise Espostia, for your lovely book of sketches of all those movies."

"Here is a typewriter to do with whatever you need. Make more art! And many thanks."

How badly do we want to impress Tom Hanks?!

But it seems the 28-year-old has been just as keen to lose the weight sharing how much she’s lost with fans on Snapchat.

“39lbs go away,” read the post.

“Lost 23lbs so far. Goal 130 post baby weight.”

Chyna also took to her Instagram to share some tips with fans about how she’s been shifting the weight.

“Post Baby Body already snapping back quickly,” she said in the video showing off her trim midriff.

If you haven’t already noticed, all of us SHEmazing HQ still like to embrace our inner child with all things Disney.

That’s why, when we heard the news of a Beauty and the Beast remake, we were beside ourselves with excitement.

One person however, who is not so excited is Angela Lansbury.

Yes, Mrs Potts herself was speaking to Entertainment Weekly this week when she revealed the idea of a remake didn’t fill her with joy.

“I was a bit taken aback, naturally. I thought, ‘Why? Why are we doing this over again?’ But I guess, I don’t know why they’re doing it. But they are, and it will be interesting to see what they do with it.”

OK, well, there’s a backhanded compliment if we ever heard one.

It got worse when the 91-year-old actress was asked how she felt about someone else taking on the role of Mrs Potts, which she originated in the 1991 film.

She responded: “Oh, absolutely. I can’t understand what they’re going to do with it that will be better than what we’re already done."

With Emma Thompson joining the already impressive cast as the new Mrs Potts, we're pretty confident the remake is going to be a huge hit – however, Angela is not convinced.

“I don’t blame them for doing it. But, I’m sorry, they’re not really on our territory.

"We did it as cartoon characters, and that is quite different from live actors.”

Artist Alania Bastain has created a series of drawing called Humanized, which re-imagines Disney animals as humans.

Artist Alaina Bastian, in her series Humanized, has been reimagining animals from classic Disney movies as humans, complete with their own unique personalities.

 

Alania has transformed beloved animated animals into cartoon humans, and the results are amazing.

Her favourite piece is Duchess and Thomas O'Malley from The Aristocats, she said.

 

The artist spoke to Buzzfeed, where she explained the inspiration behind the amazing series of images.

 

“I’ve also pulled a lot of inspiration – specifically for The Lion King and The Jungle Book – from the musical and live performances,” she said.

She told Buzfeed that her favourite piece is Duchess and Thomas O’Malley from The Aristocats... (same, though!)

Bastian told BuzzFeed that she plans on continuing the project, and is already working on sketches of Louis from The Princess and the Frog, as well as Mickey Mouse and Bambi.

 

With regards to her approach to the drawings, she said that she “decided to draw them in the styles of their movies, and keep consistent shape language and features, to interpret the character in a more thorough and believable way”.

 

 We are loving these!

If you’ve ever referred to yourself as a ‘chocaholic’, step aside – because criminal mastermind Balwinder Dhaliwal is taking that title, thank you very much!

Dhaliwal, known more commonly in Canadian mob circles as ‘King of Car Thieves’, has made headlines after FINALLY being busted by cops in Toronto – with thousands of dollars’ worth of NUTELLA!

“Yes, I said Nutella,” Detective Sergeant Paul LaSalle of York Police, Toronto told the media, after making the high-profile swoop last Friday.

Apparently, cops had been on to Dhaliwal and 22 others for a long time, in connection with the trafficking of luxury cars, drugs, alcohol and even weapons.

They struck lucky last week when they came upon a warehouse belonging to the gang, and while they weren’t surprised by some of the contents inside, the $30,000 worth of chocolate-hazelnut spread certainly raised eyebrows.

According to the Toronto Star, 137 charges have been handed down to all 23 men connected to the crime syndicate.

Commenting on the investigation, Detective Sergeant LaSalle said: “I’ve never seen an investigation that did spiral in so many directions.”

Anybody have the address for that warehouse?

As a self-diagnosed Disney maniac, my dream is to have a wedding that incorporates the brand I love so much. 

So naturally, when I stumbled upon this AMAZING wedding, I got overwhelmed with the excitement. 

Ty and Ashley are also Disney fanatics, and when the time came for the two of them to plan their wedding, they decided to theme each table after a Disney classic. 

Each table at the wedding reception had a special centre-piece related to a Disney film… CUTE!

It was not just the tables that were Disney focused, with loads of magical touches included in the couple's special day.

The couple's wedding cake was inspired by the heart wrenching Disney classic, UP! and the couple even had their honeymoon in Disney World (shocker!).

It’s now almost three weeks since we had to pick our jaws up from the floor and accept the fact that Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the United States of America…

…or IS he?!

*PLOT TWIST*

Party Over Here lol haha hilarious gasp

Green Party candidate Jill Stein initially pushed the idea of a recount, amid claims that election votes could have been hacked by the Russians – and now Hillary Clinton is jumping on board.

That’s right; general counsel for Hillary, Marc Erik Elias, confirmed this weekend that Hillary WILL support the campaign for recounts in three major states: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Given how Hillary won the popular vote and only lost in Michigan by a mere 10,000 votes, a recount could have major ramifications for the future of politics in the US.

While the news has given hope to Clintonites all over America, one person is distinctly unimpressed by Hillary’s decision: the President-Elect.

Donald Trump took to Twitter to slam the push for a recount, branding it ‘appalling’ and assuring the public that it would not change the result.

“The Democrats, when they incorrectly thought they were going to win, asked that the election night tabulation be accepted. Not so anymore!” he tweeted.

A furious Trump added: “Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in. Nothing will change.”

Yikes! We will be following this VERY closely.

Are you a fan of cheesy treats? Well, you can now smell just like them (we are serious).

Cheetos have released a special scent, called "Cheetau", that smells just like their famous cheese puffs.

Is that not the most appalling thing you have ever heard?

Anyway, this "ravishing scent is crafted from hand-extracted cheese oils taken from only the rarest Cheetos", according to the company website… and we are so grossed out.

HOWEVER, we cannot help but admire the marketing here, with the perfume proving very popular among cheese puff-lovers across the globe. 

The perfume costs a reasonable $18.99, and would make an interesting gift for the cheese lover in your life. 

Still nasty, though…

Basically, he is a master of Photoshop, and a brilliant human being.

Kirby superimposes himself into pictures of Kendall Jenner, doing hilarious poses. 

The Insta-famous mastermind has over 439,000 followers, who all adore his brilliant pictures… and for good reason. 

Kirby describes himself as an amateur model, lover of all things and fraternal twin of Kendall Jenner.

Kirby's Instagram account features images of the entire Kardashian clan, and each one is better than the last.
