Sam Smith Celebrates His Birthday By Sharing Some Of The Wisdom He’s Acquired In His 23 Years On Earth

Screen shot 2015-05-20 at 9.54.37 AMSam Smith has turned 23, everyone. And he’s decided to mark the occasion by publicly sharing some of the wisdom he’s acquired over the past two decades with his 3.8 million Instagram followers.

“Prepare yourself for dramatic speech,” Smith, who was born in 1992, prefaced his post yesterday. “I’ve only lived on this earth for 23 years and I have so much more to learn and so many more mistakes to make. But there is one thing I’ve learnt in my not so many years.”

What is that one thing, you ask?

“That is love is the most important thing in life,” Smith wrote.

The singer continued: “Surround yourself with family and friends and people who genuinely love you. I am so lucky and these past few years have been so amazing but also so challenging and I would definitely be in a world full of troubles right now if it wasn’t for … my family and friends who can’t be with me today.”

“Dramatic as fuck I know, but I thought I’d share my emotional but I hope wise words with y’all.”

Wise words, indeed. Thanks, Sam. And Happy Birthday.

Get Ready for Hell: First Full Trailer For Ryan Murphy's 'Scream Queens' Drops – WATCH

Get Ready for Hell: First Full Trailer For Ryan Murphy's 'Scream Queens' Drops – WATCH

Scream

The first full trailer for Scream Queens, Ryan Murphy’s latest foray into TV-land, is here and promises to be just as campy and ghoulish as you might hope.

According to Murphy, the series “opens in a flashback to 1995 at the sorority where something horrible happens. It’s a mystery that goes unsolved. Flash forward 20 years to today, and it looks like someone is out for revenge.” The show stars Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, and Keke Palmer. Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas will guest-star in recurring roles. 

The show hits airwaves on FOX this fall. 

Watch the trailer and hold on to someone tight, AFTER THE JUMP…

An Unforgettable Look At Cher Through The Years, In Honor Of The Star's 69th Birthday

An Unforgettable Look At Cher Through The Years, In Honor Of The Star's 69th Birthday
Happy birthday, Cher! The singer-actress-celebrity-personality turns 69 on Wednesday, May 20. Here are five reasons why we love her.

1. She is 69 and fierce.
Cher rocks it and flaunts it. We find that pretty inspirational. Cher is the original … so sorry Lady Gaga.

2. She needs no last name.
For those wondering, she was born Cherilyn Sarkisian but professionally is known as Cher. Sting, Madonna, Drake, Pink and Bono also do this, but think about all the others. Not even Sir Paul goes without McCartney after it.

3. She tweets.
We mean it: She REALLY tweets. Profanity and all. We especially love that she has a sense of humor about it — and that she laughed off this preposterous suggestion:

I’m still laughing over this‼️
It’s Crazy Funny pic.twitter.com/9alspULFFB

4. She has a wig closet that she cleans out periodically and donates old wigs to those undergoing cancer treatment who need them.

Cleaning wig closet serves 2 purposes..closet is sparkling & Have wigs for ppl who need them,because of cancer

— Cher (@cher) May 17, 2015

5. We’ve heard nothing but love and support from Cher during her son Chaz’ gender transitioning.

Acceptance. Namaste. In short, we adore you, Cher. And so, in honor of your 69th, we’ve put together an unforgettable mashup (above) that showcases the evolution of your style and spirit.

Happy birthday, lovely lady. May there be many more.
