Jared Leto reveals Oscar went missing three years ago: It somehow just magically kind of disappeared – Fox News

Jared Leto may have won an Oscar in 2014, but the fate of his golden statuette remains a mystery. Appearing on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" on Tuesday, Leto revealed that he misplaced his prized possession when he moved to a new home in Los Angeles, Calif. "I didn't know that -- I don’t think anyone wanted to tell me," Leto, 49, revealed to Corden. "But I had moved houses in L.A. and then when we moved, it somehow just magically kind of disappeared." "It could be somewhere, but everyone's searched for it high and low," the Thirty Seconds to Mars vocalist continued. "I hope it's in good hands wherever it is. We haven't seen it for quite some time." JARED LETO JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK AFTER BEING IN ISOLATION FOR 12 DAYS When Corden pressed Leto on whethe...

Nick Viall and New Girlfriend Natalie Joy Go Instagram Official With Playful Video – Yahoo Entertainment

Nick Viall might not be a bachelor for long, because he's ready to show off his pride and joy. On Jan. 27, the reality star went Instagram official with his new girlfriend Natalie Joy. The surgical technologist posted a funny clip on her Instagram story that seemingly confirmed their romance. It showed her crashing Nick's virtual reality experience, as he was seen wearing white VR headgear and hand sensors. She leaned over his shoulder and puckered her lips for a kiss. Hilariously, he didn't give her a smooch, likely because he was too engrossed in his game. The Bachelor star told her, "You're freaking me out. I'm gonna die," as they both giggled at their antics. The PDA moment appears to validate what fans have suspected ever since paparazzi spotted the pair out in Los Angeles. On Jan. ...

Dwayne The Rock Johnson recalls incredibly complicated relationship with father Rocky Johnson – Fox News

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson didn't always have it easy growing up. The 48-year-old actor is set to be the subject of "Young Rock," a comedy television series chronicling his childhood before his days as one of Hollywood's biggest names. In preparation for the show's Feb. 16 premiere, Johnson appeared at NBC's TCA press tour on Tuesday where he recalled choosing not to "take the easy route" in retracing his formative years. In fact, he called the process "incredibly complicated" and "incredibly tough," per People magazine.

Why Brazilians are having to take the Covid crisis into their own hands – podcast – The Guardian

Rachel Humphreys talks to the Guardian’s Latin America correspondent, Tom Phillips, about the Covid crisis in Brazil. A surge in infections linked to a new and seemingly more contagious variant has overwhelmed hospitals in Amazonas state, leaving many without the most basic supplies. Circumstances were so bleak that oxygen tankers were rushed over the border from Venezuela, the economically collapsed nation next door, with its leader, Nicolás Maduro, decrying what he called “Jair Bolsonaro’s public health disaster”. Tom tells Rachel about the way the public have reacted to Bolsonaro and his government’s handling of this latest wave of infections. Inoculation began last Sunday, weeks after other Latin American countries such as Chile and Mexico. But Brazil, which has 212 million citize...

Oregon stops sharing details of each COVID-19 death; reports 20 new fatalities, 731 cases – OregonLive

The Oregon Health Authority on Wednesday disclosed 731 new coronavirus cases and 20 more deaths as state officials announced they would stop providing detailed death summaries. State officials throughout the pandemic divulged basic biographical information for each COVID-19 fatality, including a person’s age, county, location of death, date of a positive coronavirus test, date of death and general presence of underlying health conditions. But without warning the agency announced that would end, effective Wednesday, because it had become too onerous for state epidemiologists who have been providing that information on a daily basis for 10 months. The abrupt change comes as Gov. Kate Brown faces criticism for her decision to prioritize vaccinating teachers before seniors, who account for ...

Cash injection: could we cure all disease with a trillion dollars? – The Guardian

You know that daydream where you suddenly come into a vast fortune? You could buy a castle or a tropical island hideaway, help out all your friends, do a bit of good in the world. But what if it was a truly incredible sum? What if you had $1tn to spend, and a year to do it? And what if the rules of the game were that you had to do it for the world – make some real difference to people’s lives, or to the health of the planet, or to the advancement of science. A trillion dollars – that’s one thousand billion dollars – is at once an absurdly huge amount of money, and not that much in the scheme of things. It is, give or take, 1% of world GDP. It’s what the US spends every year and a half on the military. It is an amount that can be quite easily rustled up through the smoke and mirrors of...

‘The Masked Dancer’ Reveals Identity of the Hammerhead: Here’s the Celebrity Under the Mask – Variety

Gym, tanning, laundry, dance. “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino is the next celebrity to be revealed on Fox’s “The Masked Dancer.” Guadagnino was revealed to be the person under the Hammerhead shark costume on Wednesday’s edition of the hit series. He was unmasked after dancing to Santa Esmeralda’s version of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” “I’m not a singer or a dancer, but this is probably a little bit more in my wheelhouse,” Guadagnino told Variety. “So I was like, I’m a little scared but I think I can make this work let’s try it. I didn’t really even know I was gonna make it past like week one, so I ended up falling in love with it and really getting competitive with it. It was great experience.” Guadagnino said his dancing experience comes down to breakdancing ...

With familiar faces and a few surprises, there was a whole lot of star power at this year’s Paris Fashion Week. Demi Moore hit the catwalk once again on Tuesday — this time modeling for Fendi’s spring/summer 2021 collection — stunning the audience with a plunging off-the-shoulder silk suit and wide-leg trousers.

Moore’s Paris Fashion Week appearance comes off the heels of her November appearance at Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty lingerie fashion show. The 58-year-old made jaws drop at the time by rocking the "Savage Not Sorry" black lace thong teddy, as well as the "Commitment Issues" fishnet bodystocking that were paired with glittering diamonds.

How Covid-19 mutations are changing the pandemic – BBC News

Early in its existence, Covid-19 gained an ability that would prove decisive in its relationship with human beings. The virus picked up a seemingly small change in its genetic code. It was likely an unfortunate accident – a fragment of genetic information from another virus got muddled up with that of the coronavirus while they were both infecting a bat. Included within this tiny piece of genome, however, were the instructions that altered a key part of the virus – its spike protein. This important protein studs the outside of the coronavirus and is the part that attaches to the outside of cells, helping the rest of the virus to sneak inside where it can replicate. This change to Covid-19's spike protein meant it could hijack an enzyme found in the human body called furin. This enzyme...
