'Where their fur is normally fawn or black, under certain wavelengths of light, they exhibit a process referred to as biofluorescence — like nature's version of a white shirt glowing at a disco,' Alldridge said, per the Daily Mail .

Priyanka Chopra's brother-in-law Kevin Jonas reveals how he lost 'almost all' of his money
Picture Credit: X Musician Kevin Jonas has talked about losing "almost all" of his money following the Jonas Brothers' split in 2013. Kevin appeared on Lewis Howes' "The School of Greatness" podcast alongside his brothers Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas. They talked about how they found what truly matters in life in the midst of losing everything, reports Kevin said on the podcast that he made a series of business deals in his younger years that ultimately led to him losing almost everything. "I've seen the beginning of the success to financial success - not knowing what money really was and understanding it - to not having (it), to losing almost all of it," Kevin said. The host reacted with surprise to Kevin's confession, asking if he really almost lost all of his money. "Yeah, most of it, like, down to the one 10 percent left." the oldest of the Jonas brothers responded. The financial troubles came about nine years ago as a result of a bad partnership, Kevin said. "I invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time. Sadly, it wasn't the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying" He added that he "learned a lot of lessons" from the experience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "Thankfully for life in general, like we had a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together. It was kind of fortuitous in a way." The Jonas Brothers experienced a whirlwind of success beginning in 2005, when they embarked on their first tour. They released their debut album It's About Time in 2006 and starred in Disney's Camp Rock in 2008. But in 2013, the brothers called it quits. Kevin had appeared in the widely successful musical television film, Camp Rock in 2008 and its sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in 2010 as well as two other series, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream and Jonas.

Ed Sheeran Mockingly Shows Off His Plain White T-Shirt Closet To Fans
Los Angeles: Grammy winning-singer Ed Sheeran showcased the contents of his wardrobe to his fans on social media. The "Perfect" hitmaker shared a TikTok video of himself flaunting the contents of his wardrobe, but there were multiples of only one item present in his collection of clothes: a plain white crew neck T-shirt, reports The video featured the white shirts hung up on a rack on wooden hangers and in a single file line, with Sheeran giving a detailed breakdown of how he uses the shirts. "This is my wardrobe, and this is basically the T-shirt I wear to be on stage, and when I finish on stage, and I go out, I wear this T-shirt. And when I have my day off and I'm trying to chill out, I wear this, which is always very important," Sheeran quipped. He added that sometimes if he is actually going to be 'really really fancy', and want to go out for a nice dinner, 'I wear this T-shirt'. He said: 'Then, when I'm in the studio, I wear that. And when I do the school visits with Kev, plain. Spaghetti bolognese, but you might spill it — it'll be good. That's my wardrobe. What do you think?" Sheeran said that fashion is not his area of expertise. He had also shared revealed that he reached out to Elton John for advice once on what to wear for an event. 'Before I came tonight I FaceTimed Elton to show him the results. He's been slagging off my boring wardrobe for years," he told The Sun. "I'm not really a fashion guy but I've had to start to show an interest – he loves it. Elton approved — it's very him.'Sheeran added, 'I actually feel pretty good in it and it's a while since there were big events on, so here I am. I'd feel less comfortable in an ordinary suit. It's easier being in this.'
