Lindsay Lohan Asks TikTok User to Take Down Viral Cameo (EXCLUSIVE) – Variety

On Jan. 3, 20-year-old TikTok user @shhlana — who generally posts about TV shows such as “Julie and the Phantoms” and “The Wilds” — posted a TikTok saying, “Guys, I think I’m going to have to come out to my parents soon.” Last week, she posted an update, saying she had not yet talked to them. “But hear me out,” she said. “What if I got Lindsay Lohan to tell my parents? She’s on Cameo right now. And wouldn’t that be iconic?” Well, Lohan did do a Cameo for Alana, but no — she didn’t think it would be right to come out for her. Instead, the actor-entrepreneur offered Alana kind-hearted words of advice: “Hi, Alana, it’s Lindsay Lohan. I know that you are about to take a very big step in telling your parents who you truly are and what you want them to accept of you — and I think yo...

CO ahead of schedule for administering COVID-19 vaccinations to seniors – KTVZ

(Update: adding video, comments from Deschutes County Health Dept.) Residents 75 and older can now make an appointment to get vaccinated BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Central Oregon is one of the only areas in the state to gain approval to start vaccinating all residents age 75 and older. That puts the region well ahead of schedule, as the Oregon Health Authority's latest distribution plan said that group was not scheduled to become eligible until Feb. 14. That's largely thanks to a successful vaccination event at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. From Wednesday through Sunday of last week, 4,600 people were vaccinated, mainly educators and child care providers – a group that, according to OHA, was not supposed to be able to receive vaccines until ...

As of Monday, more than 160,300 individuals have been vaccinated in Santa Clara County by the county, private health care providers and other vaccine distributers.

Coronavirus in Oregon: 796 new cases, 22 new deaths as Brown slightly eases business restrictions – OregonLive

Oregon reported 796 new coronavirus cases and 22 deaths Tuesday as Gov. Kate Brown said some businesses in the hardest-hit counties can now allow a very limited number of customers inside after previously mandating closures. Among the minor changes, indoor buildings such as museums, gyms and movie theaters that have more than 500 square feet of space will be allowed to have up to six people at a time, up from zero. The new restrictions don’t apply to restaurants. While Tuesday’s new case numbers exceeded Monday’s numbers by hundreds of cases, they did not break the downward trend Oregon has seen since Jan. 15. The current weekly average of new cases per day is 698 compared to 1,309 daily cases the week of Jan. 14. Here are today’s coronavirus numbers: Where the new cases are by cou...

Hilaria Baldwins heritage scandal sparks reaction from Charo: Its funny – Fox News

Charo admitted she finds Hilaria Baldwin's Spanish heritage scandal "funny." The 70-year-old Spanish-American actress-singer told Page Six that she spent her entire life trying to perfect her English so she doesn't understand why Baldwin, 37, was "obsessed" with her Spanish accent. "I spend all my life trying to speak English like you," Charo told the outlet. "I hoped to [be] a sophisticated American and I was born in Murcia, Spain, where they have a very strong Castilian accent." "That’s Hilaria’s obsession, probably," Charo thought.

Essential workers are no longer priority in COVID vaccine rollout. Some worry they are expendable. – SFGate

The shift to an age-based COVID-19 distribution has seemingly left essential workers not covered by California's initial phase of the rollout high and dry. California's new plan, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday, is intended to simplify the thus-far convoluted distribution process for the vaccine in the state — and to ensure that assorted counties in the state adhere to a cohesive rollout plan for a limited number of vaccines. The state will continue to vaccinate essential workers that are currently covered as part of Phases 1a and 1b's first tier, such as health care workers, teachers and grocery and food laborers — but immunization for other essential workers may be delayed. That includes workers in transportation, manufacturing and i...
