Mitch Slater, Concert Promotion Pioneer, Dies at 59 – Billboard

The Delsener/Slater Presents co-founder was a longtime associate of concert business consolidator Robert Sillerman. Mitch Slater, an industry pioneer who helped shape the modern concert promotion business, died on Tuesday after an extended illness. He was 59. “Our bond was as strong as it gets,” Slater’s older brother, former Capitol Records CEO Andrew Slater, tells Billboard. “When he started out in music, I said, ‘If you could be half as good in business as you are as a brother, you'll be a great success.’ And he far exceeded that mark.” In 1988, Slater partnered with Ron Delsener to form Delsener/Slater Presents, which became one of the most successful independent concert promotion companies in the U.S. In 1996, the company was acquired by Robert Sillerman’s SFX Entertain...

Good Morning America Producer Daisha Riley Dies at 35 – TheWrap

“Good Morning America” producer Daisha Riley, remembered by colleagues for her “grit and grace,” died at the age of 35 “suddenly and unexpectedly,” host Michael Strahan told viewers on Tuesday. In a tribute segment, Strahan said the Emmy Award-winning producer was “funny and brilliant and, above all, kind.” While viewers might not have known her name, Strahan said they would have seen her “incredible work” over the past 14 years, with one such example being when Riley made sure that a replica throne was included on the set for a “GMA” interview with the cast of “Game of Thrones.” “She rose through the ranks over the years on our show, working on stories that have made so many of you, our viewers, smile and tear up. Her legacy lives on in a powerful voice she shared through sto...

Anna Camp says she contracted COVID-19 after not wearing a mask one time, details her battle – USA TODAY

"Pitch Perfect" star Anna Camp has an important message: COVID-19 is real, and it's deadly. Camp, 37, knows this because she contracted the highly infectious disease, and she believes it was after one time not wearing her mask in public. The actress explained her experience in an Instagram post Tuesday in which she urged readers not to let their guard down. "I’m lucky. Because I didn’t die. But people are," Camp wrote. "Please wear (your) mask. It can happen any time. And it can happen to anyone." Camp, who split from husband and fellow "Pitch Perfect" star Skylar Astin in 2019, said she had been fastidious about her mask-wearing and followed other COVID-19 precautions, such as applying hand sanitizer. "One time, when the world was starting to open up, I decided to forgo wearing my ma...

‘Jeopardy!’ host Alex Trebek suggests Betty White as his successor, shares changes when filming resumes – Fox News

Who is Betty White? That is "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek’s answer to the question he has increasingly received during his battle with pancreatic cancer. The 79-year-old, who will turn 80 on Wednesday, said as much during an interview with “Good Morning America,” telling the program that because the audience has wanted his successor to be younger, he’s going the opposite way and appointing the 98-year-old pop culture icon to host the beloved quiz show. 'JEOPARDY!' HOST ALEX TREBEK DONATES $500G TO LOS ANGELES-AREA HOMELESS SHELTER “I joke with the audience all the time and I say, ‘Betty White,’ because they want somebody younger, somebody funnier,” Trebek said. An avid watcher of “Jeopardy!,” White explained to the New York Post in 2018 why she enjoys the program. “First, it’s such ...

Coronavirus antibodies fade fast but protection may last, study shows – Fox News

New research suggests that antibodies the immune system makes to fight the new coronavirus may only last a few months in people with mild illness, but that doesn't mean protection also is gone or that it won't be possible to develop an effective vaccine. "Infection with this coronavirus does not necessarily generate lifetime immunity," but antibodies are only part of the story, said Dr. Buddy Creech, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University. He had no role in the work, published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The immune system remembers how to make fresh antibodies if needed and other parts of it also can mount an attack, he said. Antibodies are proteins that white blood cells called B cells make to bind to the virus and help eliminate it. The earlie...

Plastics and pesticides: Health impacts of synthetic chemicals in US products doubled in last 5 years, study finds – CNN

Evidence has doubled in the last five years about the negative impact on our health of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in plastics, pesticides, flame retardants and other merchandise, according to a new review of recent literature. "It's a global problem. These are chemicals used in consumer products all across the world," said senior author Dr. Leonardo Trasande, chief of environmental pediatrics at NYU Langone. PBDE flame retardants, the study found, are the "greatest contributor to intellectual disability" in children, resulting in a total loss of "162 million IQ points and over 738,000 cases of intellectual disability." There's also the health care costs of such exposure, Trasande said. The same study estimated the health costs of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the United States at ...

Coronavirus: What I learnt in Oxfords vaccine trial – BBC News

I’m sitting in a hospital reception, and my breath is fogging my glasses. Minutes ago, I had been running through humid streets, late for my appointment. As doctors and nurses stroll past on their way to work, I’m aware that I don’t look particularly well. The last time I was at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south London, it was for the birth of my daughter. It feels very different today. I can smell the bleach used to clean the floors through my face mask, and the adjacent seat is taped off, warning nobody to sit down next to me. Two hospital staff-members in scrubs and masks approach, one of them holding a sign that reads “vaccine trial” like a taxi driver waiting at an airport arrivals gate. The sign is for me. I follow them in a slow procession, two metres behind, as the p...
