Doris Day and a fan on April 4

She wasn’t expected to attend the annual Doris Day Animal Foundation benefit in honor of her 90th birthday. But at the last minute, the song and screen legend decided to make a surprise entrance.

When Doris Day, sporting her trademark pageboy do and a white turtleneck, entered the room at Carmel’s Quail Lodge on April 4 (the day after she turned 90), stunned guests cheered her arrival. Some even started to cry.

"At First I didn’t realize it was for me," says Day, who hadn’t made a Public Appearance in More Than two decades. "I couldn’t believe it. People kept coming up to me all night, kissing and hugging me. It’s all so exciting and sweet. I’ll never ever forget it."

One of the biggest box-office stars of her time, Day is amazed her films had such an impact. "I am thrilled people love my movies," she says. "We all had so much fun making them."

Day says she keeps in shape by exercising every day, taking long walks on her property with her beloved dogs, and eating a healthy diet. She enjoys occasional indulgences such as a glass of wine ("Just one glass," she says) and her favorite, ice cream.

"I love good and healthy things," she says.

Still, she’s not one to focus on her age. "I just feel young," she says. "I can’t really explain it. I just feel that way."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Doris DAY!

She looks so fresh and wonderful! I love those Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies, Tony Randall was fantastic in them too.

Frances McDormand on plastic surgery: It makes me ‘full of fear and rage’

Frances McDormand is promoting her new miniseries, Olive Kitteridge. The project is about a family who lives in a New England town where not everything is as safe and sound as it seems. The town’s residents are all having affairs and enduring various tragedies. Frances did a new interview with the New York Times where she calls the miniseries “a subversive act” because it provides so many aging actors with roles. Frances is 57 and keeps a low profile for a woman who’s married to a Coen Brother.
Frances may appear in many of Joel Cohen’s movies (I loved her in Burn After Reading), but she’s not getting the roles because she’s married to the director. Frances is immensely talented. She won the Oscar for Fargo and hid her award behind a bunch of books on an obscure ****f. She sometimes dresses it in “a cowboy outfit” for fun but mostly ignores it. Frances was also nominated for Almost Famous and two other movie roles. She’s a good egg, as they say. Here are her feelings on aging and plastic surgery:

On aging in Hollywood: “We are on red ***** when it comes to how we are perceiving ourselves as a species. There’s no desire to be an adult. Adulthood is not a goal. It’s not seen as a gift. Something happened culturally: No one is supposed to age past 45 — sartorially, cosmetically, attitudinally. Every**** dresses like a teenager. Every**** dyes their hair. Every**** is concerned about a smooth face.”

Her feelings on plastic surgery: “I have not mutated myself in any way. Joel and I have this conversation a lot. He literally has to stop me physically from saying something to people — to friends who’ve had work. I’m so full of fear and rage about what they’ve done.” Looking old, she said, should be a boast about experiences accrued and insights acquired, a triumphant signal “that you are someone who, beneath that white hair, has a card catalog of valuable information.”

Her early career: “I was often told that I wasn’t a thing. She’s not pretty enough, she’s not tall enough, she’s not thin enough, she’s not fat enough.’ I thought, ‘O.K., someday you’re going to be looking for someone not, not, not, not, and there I’ll be.’”

Her marriage to Joel: “I’ve been with a man for 35 years who looks at me and loves what he sees.”

She hasn’t watched FX’s Fargo: “Not interested,” she said, explaining that she’s leery of “the cultural appropriation of intellectual property.”

Vatican Makes Peace With American Nuns

Vatican Makes Peace With American Nuns

Kelly Faircloth

4/17/15 7:10pm

NUNS WIN! Nuns WIN! Or at least American Nuns no longer have a Vatican investigation hanging over their heads, anyway.
Specifically, Rome was poking around the Leadership Conference of American Women Religious, a prominent American nuns’ group. Pope Francis’s predecessor originally launched the inquiry into allegations of—gasp!—CREEPING RADICAL FEMINISM. The plan was to do an overhaul. Many were worried the Vatican wanted to clean house (which would’ve been a hell of a note). The move was unpopular With many Catholics here in the States, given the decades of work by American Nuns in Catholic-run schools and charities, as well as the occasional act of totally ****l activism.

But the Vatican just announced it was wrapping up its takeover two years earlier than anticipated. The New York Times sums up the shifting dynamics at work:

Under the previous pope, Benedict XVI, the Vatican’s doctrinal office had appointed three bishops in 2024 to overhaul the nuns’ group, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, out of concerns that it had hosted speakers and published materials that strayed from Catholic doctrine on such matters as the all-male priesthood, birth control and sexuality, and the centrality of Jesus to the faith.
But Francis has shown in his two-year papacy that he is less interested in having the church police doctrinal boundaries than in demonstrating mercy and love for the poor and vulnerable — the very work that most of the women’s religious orders under investigation have long been engaged in.

Basically the Vatican came out and said “We’re all good now!” without much in the way of details, which likely means they’re backing off, as Slate explains. They’ll have a doctrinal advisory committee to look over anything they’re publishing, the Guardian reports, but that’s far, far milder than what many feared. Pope Francis even met With four women from the conference for nearly an hour, and the Vatican released a smiley we’re-all-pals-here photo of the gathering. “It’s about as close to an apology, I would think, as the Catholic Church is officially going to render,” theologian Eileen Burke-Sullivan told the Times.

This comes on the heels of the Vatican concluding back in December a broader look into the conditions of American nuns, With an acknowledgement that they’re holding it down despite their dwindling ranks. All together now: NUNS! NUNS! NUNS! NUNS!

And Now, Expert Financial Advice From Jessica Alba

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/12/2014 15:25 -0500

In a world in which neither the Fed, nor the sellside (Goldman was forecasting $100 oil for years to come as recently as October 29), and certainly not tenured economists have any idea what lies beyond the next corner, perhaps the best place to look for financial answers are Hollywood celebrities such as Jessica Alba. So, in our pursuit of truth, financial answers and the Hollywood way, we give you… Jessica Alba.
Yes, the shapely artist alternatively known as Cash Money, was at yesterday’s DealBook conference sharing deep insight. Why? Because among all the other ridiculous capital misal******** opportunities presented to West Coast venture capitalists in recent years thanks to the Fed, her diaper delivery startup, Honest, launched in 2024 and which is unbelievably valued at $1 billion, is preparing for its IPO as reported previously.
Here, courtesy of DealBook, is what she had to say:

6. With a movie, “it’s not like your whole life is hanging on this thing. With a business, your whole life is hanging on this thing.”

7. “We don’t test our products on animals. We test our products on our kids. And on ourselves.”

Finally, for all those who would rather watch rather than listen, here is the 21 minutes clip of Jessica Alba explaining why all one needs to be valued in the hundreds of millions, however briefly, is stunning good looks, B-ish grade Hollywood celeb status, VCs with ridiculous amounts of cash to burn, and the biggest equity bubble in history. Oh yes, and an idea involving excrement.

Ne-Yo makes woman vomit uncontrollably and lose part of her brain

To cure seizures triggered by Ne-Yo’s music, woman has part of brain removed, but procedure is in vain

Laura Calabrese | November 12, 2024 | Last Updated: Nov 12 5:39 PM ET

Bryan Bedder/Getty Images filesTo cure seizures brought on by hearing the music of Ne-Yo, a woman had part of her brain removed, but she is still suffering from the crippling condition.

When singer Ne-Yo releases a new hit single, one woman’s life becomes a nightmare.

Zoe Fennessy, 26, underwent brain surgery in June as an attempt to prevent Ne-Yo’s music from triggering her seizures. But the procedure was not a success.

Fennessy, from Retford, Nottinghamshire, U.K., suffers from a rare condition called musicogenic epilepsy, which according to Epilepsy Ontario is a seizure triggered by certain types of music or frequencies of pitch that an individual’s brain is unable to tolerate. While she doesn’t necessarily dislike Ne-Yo’s music, whenever she hears the pop star’s songs, she freezes up and begins to vomit uncontrollably.

In June, Fennessy had an operation during which surgeons removed part of her left frontal temporal lobe. The Daily Mail reports that symptoms of her epilepsy have reduced, but the voice of the Grammy nominated artist is still a trigger.

Fennessy has had a long battle with seizures. It began in 2024 New Year’s Day, but doctors attributed her seizure to being over-tired and stressed. Following that, in 2024 her seizures increased to six times a day and after a brain test doctors diagnosed her with epilepsy.

But, it took her a while to realize that Ne-Yo’s music could be a trigger. Fennessy experienced her first music-induced seizure when she heard the hit single, “Give Me Everything” that featured Pitbull.

“It wasn’t until I’d heard it for about the 15th time that it finally twigged what was going on,” Fennessy said in an interview. When she went to see a consultant she thought they wouldn’t believe her. “I know this sounds extremely bizarre, but every time I hear this song I have a seizure,” she told them.

Fennessy was then referred to Sheffield’s Royal Hallamshire Hospital where doctors tested her theory by playing Ne-Yo’s music to see if she had symptoms of musicogenic epilepsy. One of her doctors said, “We recognized a few musicogenic seizures arising from the right temporal lobe stimulated by songs sung by Ne-Yo.”

When “Give Me Everything” and “So Sick” topped the music charts in 2024, Fennessy’s seizures became even more common. She lived in fear that a Ne-Yo show would come on while she was doing routine things like grocery shopping. It even got to the point where she had to always wear headphones.

“People might think it is funny — and I can laugh at it myself — but it has taken over my life,” Fennessy told the Daily Mail. “It’s ruined my life.”

Brian May says Princes William and Harry hunting makes him feel ‘sick’

+3
Former Queen guitarist Brian May has slammed Princes William and Harry for going hunting

Rocker Brian May has attacked Princes William and Harry following reports of both going on hunting trips just weeks before pledging to save Africa’s critically endangered wildlife.
The 66-year-old former Queen guitarist has spoken out against the two young royals, comparing their hunting to 19th century supporters of slavery and saying their slaughter of animals is ‘inhumane’ and that it ‘sickened’ him.
The Princes returned earlier this month from a hunting holiday on the estate of William’s godfather, the Duke of Westminster in Cordoba, Spain where they shot wild boar and stags.
Harry has also faced criticism over a recently emerged photo of him brandishing a gun and smiling over the **** of a water buffalo.
Both Princes are outspoken supporters of international efforts to stop illegal poaching, attended the conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade on Thursday with their father Prince Charles to discuss ways to save endangered wildlife.

Speaking to The Sun’s Natalie Edwards, the rocker-turned-activist said: ‘it made me feel sick. This is right at the heart of the problem we are looking at in this government.
‘It’s the whole attitude of the privileged classes – you can rescue rhinos and elephants in Africa but kill at will anything you want if you’re rich.
‘It’s not logical, justifiable or humane and is the same as people in the 19th century trying to justify slavery.’

Worries: Speaking at a conference on Thursday, Charles – flanked by his two sons – warned that the imminent extinction of some of the world’s most precious species would have ‘dire consequences for humanity’

Croucing over the **** of a water buffalo: The picture was taken in November 2024, when the then 20-year-old was on a gap year trip to South America shortly before he enrolled at Sandhurst military academy

It is worth noting that though William and Harry hunt, there is no suggestion that they have ever shot an animal illegally or any endangered species.
The musician, who received a CBE from the Palace, made the controversial comments just days after Prince William also reportedly promised to destroy all the ivory from the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace.
The Duke of Cambridge, 31, is said to want to act in the hope that it will ‘send a message’ to illegal elephant poachers and encourage other heads of state to follow suit.
The priceless collection includes around 1,200 items which contain ivory – from fans and miniatures to a throne from India presented to Queen Victoria with elephant-ivory plaques.
Jane Goodall, a veteran primatologist, said she had spoken to the Prince and he declared he would ‘like to see all the ivory owned by Buckingham Palace destroyed’.
