Rachel Bilson reveals why Rami Malek asked her to delete their high school Instagram photo – USA TODAY

Rachel Bilson is letting the world in on the time Rami Malek asked her to delete an Instagram photo of the two she shared in the middle of his 2019 Oscar run.  "The O.C." alum joined Dax Shepard and Monica Padman's "Armchair Expert" podcast Monday and shared the reason why the Oscar-winning "Bohemian Rhapsody" star wasn't too happy about the throwback photo in question.  In February 2019, Bilson shared an old picture of the two when they were younger, which she captioned, "Hey @ramimalek where'd you get that gold chain? #tbt #oscarworthy." But it didn't stay up on her Instagram for too long. "Rami was a good friend of mine," Bilson said during the podcast, noting the two attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. "We were in the same crew. We did the 'Crucible' together ...

The right stuff: Luke Bryans New Kids on the Block tribute brings comic relief to bittersweet American Idol night – Yahoo Entertainment

The American Idol Season 19 top 24 were confirmed Monday, the second night of the Showstoppers round, and it was a bittersweet evening filled with early goodbyes. The episode began with a resolution of Sunday’s cliffhanger, with the two rocker girls who’d been inexplicably pitted against each other, Casey Bishop and Alanis Sophia, both making it through. But many other contestants weren’t so lucky. Among the cuts in what host Ryan Seacrest declared “the fiercest competition in Idol history” were quirky girls EmiSunshine and Lizzy O’Very; Gabby Barrett superfan Laila Mach (whose ill-advised song choice, Alicia Keys’s “If I Ain’t Got You,” was just way too big for her); badass single mom Althea Grace (that elimination was a big mistake); both Ronda Felton and Funke Lagoke (who hit some unch...

Cold Tooth Pains Mysterious Molecular Culprit – The New York Times

There’s nothing quite like the peculiar, bone-jarring reaction of a damaged tooth exposed to something cold: a bite of ice cream, or a cold drink, and suddenly, that sharp, searing feeling, like a needle piercing a nerve. Researchers have known for years that this phenomenon results from damage to the tooth’s protective outer layer. But just how the message goes from the outside of your tooth to the nerves within it has been difficult to uncover. On Friday, biologists reported in the journal Science Advances that they have identified an unexpected player in this painful sensation: a protein embedded in the surface of cells inside the teeth. The discovery provides a glimpse of the connection between the outer world and the interior of a tooth, and could one day help guide the development...

Sharon Stone Claimed A Surgeon Gave Her “Bigger” Breast Implants Without Her Consent – BuzzFeed

He "thought that I would look better with bigger, 'better' boobs." Sharon Stone claims that a surgeon gave her "bigger" breast implants than she consented to after having breast reconstructive surgery in 2011. Rodin Eckenroth / WireImage / Getty Images In her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, she said she got the surgery after doctors had to remove benign tumors that were "gigantic” and were “bigger than [her] breast alone.” Vittorio Zunino Celotto / Getty Images However, when Stone woke up from the operating table, she learned her...

We Finally Know Why Cold Makes Our Teeth Hurt – And How to Stop It – ScienceAlert

Biting into something cold with a damaged or sensitive tooth can trigger a particularly excruciating type of pain, but scientists have never fully understood how this pain signal gets transmitted. Now they've found a prime suspect: a protein called TRPC5.   The protein is found in cells called odontoblasts inside teeth, which form the dentin shell just under the enamel. Odontoblasts support the shape of the tooth; as researchers have now discovered, these cells also act as cold sensors. They can do this because TRPC5 is an ion channel - a gateway that allows signalling chemicals, like calcium, through cell membranes under certain conditions; in this case, they respond to cold. New treatments could be developed based on these findings to help with pain or hypersensitivity in the teeth...

‘Impending doom’ seen in U.S. coronavirus climb, and even Bay Area could slip back – San Francisco Chronicle

The nation’s top public health authority warned of “impending doom” for the United States, and President Biden implored states to reinstate mask mandates on Monday, amid signs that a fourth wave of the pandemic is swelling, and even the Bay Area may be at risk. Nationwide, coronavirus cases have climbed 10% over the past week, to about 60,000 a day, said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hospitalizations for COVID-19 are increasing, too. The tide may also be rising in the Bay Area, where cases have plateaued in recent days. “The curve has flattened, but this is a curve you don’t want to see flattened,” said Dr. Matt Willis, the Marin County health officer, in an interview Monday. Willis said he feared a lull like the one that ...

Insiders shoot down rumored Miley Cyrus/Yungblud relationship – Page Six

Miley Cyrus and rocker Yungblud appeared to have a “cozy night out” on the Sunset Strip last week — but insiders say they’re not a couple. “They are not dating. He has been dating [singer-songwriter] Jesse Jo Stark for a while, and they’re very serious,” the source said. We’re told Yungblud and Stark hit it off last summer when she appeared in one of his music videos, and they’ve been dating “for at least six months,” according to the insider. Photos of Yungblud and Cyrus hanging out at LA’s Rainbow Bar & Grill surfaced last week and created buzz that the two were becoming an item. In one picture, Cyrus appears to be throwing drinks back as Yungblud strokes her hair, and he seems to be putting his finger in her mouth in another pic. But the du...
