Kim Kardashian fears Kanye West may have hit rock bottom – Page Six

A distraught Kim Kardashian met up with husband Kanye West for crisis talks after his rant on Twitter, apparently due to a bipolar episode, in which he claimed he’s been trying to divorce her and calling mother-in-law Kris Jenner “Kris Jong-un.” Photos show Kim in tears arguing with the troubled rapper in a car in Wyoming on Monday. It was the first time the pair had been seen together after his bizarre presidential campaign rally in South Carolina, where he gave a speech saying he and Kim considered getting an abortion when she was pregnant with their first child, North, and that he “didn’t care” if Kim divorced him. West also let loose on Twitter, accusing her of cheating with Meek Mill in 2018 and claiming he’s been “trying to get divorced” ever since. A source told Page ...

This Throwback Video of Prince William Dancing to Nelly Furtado Is Legendary – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

In less than a year, the British royal family looks completely different than it once did. Though Prince Charles was hoping to overhaul the royal family when he took on the role of the Crowned King, things happened much more swiftly than he expected, which has also put Prince William in a particular position. In November 2019, Prince Charles’ younger brother, Prince Andrew was effectively booted from royal life. After a lifetime of service to the crown while evading his playboy prince reputation, the Duke of York’s ties to late sex offender Jeffry Epstein was too horrifying to look past. Then in January 2020, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry announced their resignation from the royal family, pushing Prince William and his family into the forefront of the ...

World Health Org. Official Says COVID-19 Isnt Seasonal: Its One Big Wave – VladTV

According to the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 virus is far from normal seasonal influenza. WHO described the virus as "one big wave" and warned against countries in the Northern Hemisphere (specifically the United States) approaching the pandemic as they would the flu. WHO official Dr. Margaret Harris said during a briefing on Tuesday, “We are in the first wave. It’s going to be one big wave. It’s going to go up and down a bit. The best thing is to flatten it and turn it into just something lapping at your feet,” adding, “People are still thinking about seasons. What we all need to get our heads around is this is a new virus and...this one is behaving differently.” Harris continued, “Summer is a problem. This virus likes all weather.” Source: reuters.com

Study: Blood test for Alzheimers detects signs 20 years before memory, thinking falter – USA TODAY

A new blood test detected Alzheimer's disease as accurately as expensive brain scans or spinal taps, raising the possibility for a new, inexpensive option to diagnose the most common form of dementia, researchers said.  Researchers at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Tuesday presented the results of multiple studies of whether a blood test could distinguish Alzheimer's disease from other forms of dementia. In one study published in JAMA, researchers said the blood test could could identify Alzheimer's disease and even detected signs of disease 20 years before cognitive problems were expected in a group of people who carry a rare genetic mutation.  A blood test to detect Alzheimer's disease early could be more precise than memory and thinking tests now used to diagno...
