Seven years after their split, Bethenny Frankel still legally married to Jason Hoppy – Page Six

She’s still a “Real Housewife” after all. Over a year after Page Six exclusively reported that Bethenny Frankel was still legally married to Jason Hoppy, it appears that nothing has changed for the former “RHONY” star. Frankel, 49, revealed during “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” Thursday that she could not marry her boyfriend, Paul Bernon, because she was still someone’s wife. “I’m still married,” the Skinnygirl mogul admitted to a shocked Cohen. “Crickets again. And scene! And we’re back!” Frankel and Hoppy, 49, married in 2010 ahead of their daughter Bryn’s birth on her own spin-off, “Bethenny Ever After.” She filed for divorce in 2013, but the couple has been battling it out in court ever since. “Jason and Bethenny are still technically married,” Hoppy’s mat...

Keith Hufnagel, skateboarding icon and streetwear founder, dies at 46 – CNN

Hufnagel, the founder of the streetwear company Huf Worldwide, had been battling brain cancer for more than two years. His brand announced his passing on Thursday. "We are absolutely heartbroken to deliver the news today that HUF founder Keith Hufnagel has passed away," the company wrote on Instagram. "Keith was not only the 'HUF'nagel in HUF. He was the heart and soul of this brand. He built and brought together a community of people like no one else could," the post continued. CNN has contacted Huf Worldwide for a statement, but has not heard back. Hufnagel founded the brand in 2002 following his move from New York to the West Coast.

First man cured of HIV infection now has terminal cancer – The Associated Press

Timothy Ray Brown, the first person known to have been cured of HIV infection, says he is now terminally ill from a recurrence of the cancer that prompted his historic treatment 12 years ago. Brown, dubbed “the Berlin patient” because of where he lived at the time, had a transplant from a donor with a rare, natural resistance to the AIDS virus. For years, that was thought to have cured his leukemia and his HIV infection, and he still shows no signs of HIV. But in an interview with The Associated Press, Brown said his cancer returned last year and has spread widely. He’s receiving hospice care where he now lives in Palm Springs, California. “I’m still glad that I had it,” Brown said of his transplant. “It opened up doors that weren’t there before” and inspired scientists to work harder...

People in the townships surrounding Rundu, a town on the border to Angola, are too poor to afford a funeral plot at the municipal graveyard — and resorted to burying their dead next to a dusty gravel road just outside of the town.

Oregons youngest COVID-19 victim did not actually have the virus, according to CDC test – TheBlaze

An Oregon family is searching for answers after new testing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that their son, once presumed to be the youngest COVID-19 victim in the state, did not actually have the virus. What are the details? Matthew Irvin, 26, died suddenly in early July after falling severely ill just a few days prior. At the time, state health officials said his death was likely the result of the coronavirus due simply to the fact that he displayed several of the symptoms. According to KGW-TV, Irvin was listed as the state's youngest coronavirus victim. "When including him in the death count, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) used information from Irvin's death certificate, which listed COVID-19 as a cause or significant condition contributing to his dea...

Enola Holmes review: Sherlock’s kid sister solves a pretty good case of her own – The Verge

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most malleable characters in fiction. Like a pasty heap of Yorkshire pudding in the shape of a man, he can be molded into just about anything the changing times demand. A misanthropic action hero (Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes), an acerbic doctor (House), or perhaps most sacrilegious of all, an American immigrant (Elementary). All of these make for fun stories. It’s simply a pleasure watching someone who is very smart and unconcerned with social niceties solve mysteries no one else can seem to crack. But must he and his world be so white and male? Netflix’s Enola Holmes is the latest attempt to free Sherlock stories of these burdens, or at least one of them. Based on a series of young adult novels by Nancy Springer, the film introduces us to Enola (Mil...

Child deaths from covid-19 remain remarkably low eight months into U.S. pandemic – The Washington Post

Children are much more likely to die from homicides (there were 1,865 in 2016, according to government data), drowning (995) or even fires and burns (340). The numbers are all the more remarkable because respiratory diseases typically hit the young and the old hard, and children are often highly vulnerable to infectious disease. In this way, covid-19 is similar to the flu, which killed an estimated 24,000 to 62,000 people last winter, but 188 people age 17 and below. (That was a record high for that age group, however.) “It seems notable that this pandemic, which has had so much of a toll in mortality and morbidity, does seem to spare kids in a dramatic way,” said Larry Steinman, a professor of pediatrics and neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Steinman led a team that ...
