Celebrities names that we may pronounce wrong:
Matthew McConaughey: You probably pronounce it with an “ee” at the end, but it’s actually muh-KAH-nuh-HAY.
Brendan Fraser: It rhymes with “razor” . . . so, FRAY-zer.
4. Thandiwe Newton: For years, people misspelled her name as “Thandie”, and she let it go. But it’s really pronounced tan-DEE-way.
8. Steve Buscemi: Steve has actually been known to pronounce his last name boo-SEM-ee. But the proper Italian pronunciation is boo-SHAY-me.
9. Jake Gyllenhaal: Yes, we all say “JILL-in-hall”. But it SHOULD be pronounced YEEL-en-HAUL.

In 2005, a pair of ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz went missing, prompting a 13-year search for the iconic piece of film history. The famous footwear was stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Michigan, and sure enough, that’s where the alleged culprit has reportedly been found. Terry Martin, a 76-year-old man who lives 12 miles from the museum, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for the theft of the missing slippers. However, little information has been provided on how Martin was identified as the main suspect. After years of false leads, the ruby red slippers were recovered during a 2018 sting operation that relied on tipsters in both Michigan and Florida. Little information was provided then, either, but the feds said they were looking at a suspect. While the FBI showed off the iconic slippers during a press conference confirming they’ve been found, the pieces of Hollywood history have yet to be publicly displayed since the heist.
