Famed Dukes of Hazzard car with Confederate flag to remain displayed in Illinois auto museum – Fox News

A northern Illinois auto museum said it will continue displaying the iconic car from the "Dukes of Hazzard" television show with a Confederate flag painted on top of it, according to multiple reports. The decision to keep the flag comes amid the toppling of Confederate statues following the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25 in Minneapolis. Many believe that the flag is a symbol of racism and glorification of the Civil War, while others areas argue the flag is used to celebrate Southern heritage and the television show's car is a "piece of history." “We feel the car is part of history, and people love it. We’ve got people of all races and nationalities that remember the TV show and aren’t offended by it whatsoever. It’s a piece of history, and it’s in a museum,” Brian G...

Jennifer Aniston mocked perfect marriage with Brad Pitt saying it wasnt real – Mirror Online

Jennifer Aniston once took aim at the perceived image of her marriage to Brad Pitt. The 51-year-old former Friends actress said that any thoughts that her and Brad were Hollywood's 'golden couple' were far from the truth of their actual marital status. Back at the turn of the millennium, Brad and Jen were the coupling that captured the imagination of millions and their every move was pored over by fans and media alike. The actress once said that this hype left her and Brad, now 56, desperately trying to live up to the expectations of their marriage when the real-life truth was far from the glamorous life together that was portrayed.
