Tori Spelling says she and Dean McDermott don’t share a bed amid rumored marital strife – Fox News

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are putting a little space between themselves. The 48-year-old actress recently appeared on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show and coyly addressed rumors of marital strife between herself and McDermott, who she’s been married to since 2006. When Lewis suggested that there can’t possibly be problems between Spelling and her hubby because he hadn’t heard it directly from her, the "BH90210" star said she wouldn’t have shared the news with him because he’d "spill my s--- right here" on the show. "Of course I’m not going to tell you what’s really going on," she added.

Anthony Mackie seems pretty unhappy with people who want Sam and Bucky to be gay – The A.V. Club

Anthony MackiePhoto: Dimitrios Kambouris (Getty Images) Anthony Mackie has committed the time-honored mistake of saying “something” when “nothing” might easily have sufficed. The Falcon And The Winter Solider star gave an interview to Variety this week in which he waded into the conversation about viewers and fans applying LGBTQ+ lenses to relationships between male superheroes. (Like, say, Mackie’s own Sam Wilson, and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes). It’s a complicated and nuanced topic—one that trucks in ideas ranging from the validity of diverse fan interpretations of popular characters, to the death of the author, to the decades of repression that forced queer relationships in art to exist only in margins, subtexts, and hints—that Mackie handled with notably less complexity and nuan...

WKRP star Frank Bonner remembered by castmate Loni Anderson: I am heartbroken – Fox News

Loni Anderson is mourning the loss of her beloved castmate. Frank Bonner, who starred as Herb Tarlek in the hit sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati," died on Wednesday at age 79. The actor passed away "peacefully" amid a battle with Lewy body dementia, his family told TMZ. "Frank Bonner was like family," the actress told Fox News. "He was one of the funniest and nicest men I worked with. I am heartbroken." As the plaid-loving Tarlek, Bonner played a radio station sales manager who could never reel in a big account. The comedy aired from 1978 until 1982. He later reprised the role in a spinoff titled "The New WKRP in Cincinnati," which aired from 1991 until 1993.

Rabid fox bites child, possibly 2 others, in N.J. town, officials say – NJ.com

A fox that bit a child over the weekend in Jackson, and possibly two other people in the neighborhood, has tested positive for rabies, officials said. The fox bit a young girl Saturday in a neighborhood between Aldrich Road and West Connecticut Concourse, according to a statement from the Ocean County Health Department.

Jackson Township Animal Control took the fox, which died shortly thereafter, and the girl was undergoing rabies post exposure prophylaxis, the health department said. The department said it received two other reports of fox bites in the same neighborhood over the weekend, but did not specifically say if...
