Gavin MacLeod, ‘Love Boat’ Captain and ‘Mary Tyler Moore Show’ Star, Dies at 90 – Variety

Gavin MacLeod, a sitcom veteran who played seaman “Happy” Haines on “McHale’s Navy,” Murray on “Mary Tyler Moore” and the very different, vaguely patrician Captain Stubing on “The Love Boat,” has died. He was 90. MacLeod’s nephew, Mark See, confirmed his death to Variety. MacLeod died in the early morning on May 29. No cause of death was given, but MacLeod’s health had declined in recent months. MacLeod played a relatively minor character on ABC hit “McHale’s Navy,” starring Ernest Borgnine, but as newswriter Murray Slaughter, he was certainly one of the stars of “Mary Tyler Moore,” appearing in every one of the classic comedy’s 168 episodes during its 1970-77 run on CBS. Murray was married to Marie (Joyce Bulifant) but was in love with Moore’s Mary Richards. His desk was righ...

Kim Kardashian hits party where Kanye Wests rap rival Drake is a guest – Page Six

In the midst of her divorce from rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian attended a billionaire’s intimate birthday party in LA — where guests included West’s rap rival Drake, Page Six has exclusively learned. The reality star turned heads on her way into the Beverly Hills bash, wearing a midriff-baring dress with a more-than-thigh-high slit. She attended the shindig for British heir Jamie Reuben’s 34th birthday with her family friend Fai Khadra. But we hear that one of the guests inside was Drake. A source told us he’d attended a music industry dinner earlier, and another insider said that at Reuben’s party, “he stayed till late, hanging till 3 a.m.” Kardashian, 40, has previously shot down rumors that she once had a fling with Drake, posting in 2018, “Neve...

Emma Stone wants an Ursula movie, but we just cant stop thinking about what happened to Cruellas mom – The A.V. Club

Photo: Disney This post discusses the plot of the one scene of Cruella that we’ve seen on Twitter. Look, this is going to be a tough one: The kind of Newswire story where our journalistic principles, and our desires as simple human beings seeking joy in the universe, may come into sharp and bitter conflict. Still, we shall do our best to keep our impulses in check, as rational beings with a dedication to the truth. So: Emma Stone has suggested, per Variety, that Disney should turn its “villains re-sympathized” engines on Little Mermaid villain Ursula next, and also, have you seen that clip of Cruella’s mom getting absolutely bodied over a cliff by some dogs? Fuck, this is going to be harder than we thought. Stone was talking to Variety’s Mark Malkin, alongside the rest of the cast...

Aging reversed: Study shows how you can become 3 years ‘younger’ in just 8 weeks! – Study Finds

PORTLAND, Ore. — Can your body really be biologically younger without using drugs in less than two months? It may sound like an advertisement for some anti-aging cream, but a new study reveals people can actually reverse the aging process through diet and lifestyle changes. In a groundbreaking clinical trial, scientists discovered that by balancing DNA methylation, participants reduced their biological age by over three years in just eight weeks. Researchers say aging is the main driver of chronic disease. Therefore, turning back the clock in a person’s DNA can help them stay healthier and live longer. Basically, DNA methylation is the process that switches gene off. Study authors explain that methylation is the pattern of accumulating damage leading to greater and greater loss of cel...
