Armie Hammer genuinely sorry for referring to scantily clad woman in video as Miss Cayman – Fox News

Armie Hammer is apologizing after making headlines once again amid his ongoing social media scandal. The 34-year-old actor issued a statement after a post, in which he allegedly used a private Instagram account to share a video of a woman, whom he referred to as "Miss Cayman," was leaked. "Miss Cayman" is similar to the title bestowed upon the winner of the Miss Cayman Islands Universe pageant. "I would like to clarify that the person in my video, which was stolen from my private Instagram, is not Miss Cayman," he told the Cayman Compass. "I am genuinely sorry for any confusion my foolish attempt at humour may have caused." The face of the woman, who was reportedly "scantily clad," was not visible in the video, according to the Compass. ARMIE HAMMER'S EX COURTNEY VUCEKOVICH CLAIMS HE...

Even a small portion of fried foods can increase risk of heart disease, study says – CNN

Each additional weekly serving of 114 grams or 4 ounces (½ cup) of fried foods increased the risk for heart attack and stroke by 3%, heart disease by 2% and heart failure by 12%, the study found. A medium McDonald's french fry serving, for example, is 117 grams. No associations were found for deaths from cardiovascular disease or from any cause, but the researchers said this might be because of the relatively small numbers involved in some of the studies. When food is fried, it absorbs some of the fat from the oil, potentially increasing calories. In addition, commercially fried and processed foods can often contain trans fats, created by an industrialized process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid (think of semisoft margarine and shortening). The f...

The vaccine site switched to another lot of Moderna vaccine after closing for a few hours,” the California Department of Public Health said. The mass vaccination site at Petco Park, the home of the Padres, opene...
