Lady Gagas dog walker is homeless months after living out of van, asks public for financial support – Fox News

Lady Gaga's dog walker Ryan Fischer has revealed he's struggling to stay financially afloat after ditching Hollywood to embark on a journey toward spiritual healing. On February 24, Fischer was walking Gaga's French bulldogs named Miss Asia, Koji, and Gustav at night in Los Angeles. He was shot in the chest and two of the dogs, Koji and Gustav, were stolen. Fischer was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery and thankfully a few days later Gaga's dogs were returned safely. It's been a harrowing several months since the incident, Fischer says. In an emotional plea across his several social media accounts on Monday, the former professional canine walker revealed he ditched the Hollywood Hills two months ago and began traveling cross-country in a 1991 Ford Falcon rental. However, da...

Daniel Craig says he won’t leave kids his fortune – Fox News

Daniel Craig isn't a fan of large inheritances. The 007 star, 53, recently told Candis magazine he plans on spending or giving away his $160 million fortune rather than leave it to his two kids.  "Isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you've failed?" he mused to the outlet. "I think Andrew Carnegie [an American industrialist] gave away what in today's money would be about 11 billion dollars, which shows how rich he was because I'll bet he kept some of it, too," Craig continued.  DANIEL CRAIG GIVES ADVICE TO NEXT JAMES BOND The "Knives Out" actor added, "I don’t want to leave great sums to the next generation. I think inheritance is quite distasteful. My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go." Craig shares his older daughter Ella with his ex-wife...

NIH director says new Israeli Covid data is building case for booster shots in the U.S. – CNBC

New data from Israel on the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines over time is causing U.S. health leaders to rethink their position on vaccine booster shots in the U.S., National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins said Tuesday. "The people who got immunized in January are the ones that are now having more breakthrough cases," Collins said during an interview on "The Hugh Hewitt Show," referring to Covid infections in fully vaccinated individuals. Israel released new data Monday showing a reduction in the effectiveness of Pfizer's Covid vaccine against severe illness among people 65 and older who were fully vaccinated in January or February. NIH Director Fr. Francis Collins holds up a model of the coronavirus as he testifies before a hearing looking int...

Late Monday, the New York Times reported that officials will issue a blanket recommendation as early as this week for people who received either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine to get a third dose of the same brand eight months after their last shot. The expected change in policy comes as the country is battling yet another resurgence of the pandemic, this one fueled by the Delta variant. The NYT cited anonymous sources within the Biden administration in reporting this new development, though other reports have indicated that these plans have been...

Khloé Kardashian blasts fan who thinks she took back Tristan Thompson – Page Six

Khloé Kardashian shot down a fan on Twitter who thought she took back Tristan Thompson once again. The Twitter user quote-tweeted a report that claimed the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star had given the NBA player “yet another chance” and wrote, “At this point @khloekardashian has no self worth. Anyway…” Upon seeing the critical tweet Monday, Kardashian snapped back, “You’re telling me you made an assessment about my life because of a random blog? I think that says more about you than it does about me.” It appears the Sacramento Kings center-forward also caught wind of the harsh tweet, as he also took to Twitter to slam “gossipers.” “Gossipers are worse than thieves because they attempt to steal another person’s dignity, honor, credibility, an...

Drew Barrymore shares Britney Spears support amid her conservatorship battle – Fox News

Drew Barrymore is speaking out in support of Britany Spears as the pop star finally receives some good news in her ongoing conservatorship battle. After years under a conservatorship, Spears has only just been speaking out publicly as she takes to the courts to try and end what she says is an oppressive deal that leaves her with precious little legal control over decisions in her life that most people take for granted. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Barrymore, 46, noted that she’s been trying her best to stay out of the #FreeBritney movement since she doesn’t know the singer personally. However, that has changed for her in recent weeks as it became clear that Spears needed as many voices as possible to champion her cause.  "I feel that there's a human being at the core of this.

Music legend’s spokesman says the allegations brought by an unnamed woman were false and will be ‘vigorously defended’. An unnamed woman has sued folk singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, alleging he sexually abused her after giving her drugs and alcohol in 1965 when she was 12 years old.
