HOLLYWOOD, FAMILY MOURNS AFTER PETER FONDA DIES AT AGE 79 – (08/19/2019)
Hollywood icon Peter Fonda has died at age 79 after a battle with lung cancer. In a statement, the Fonda family said: “It is with deep sorrow that we share the news that Peter Fonda has passed away. Fonda, 79 years old, passed away peacefully on Friday morning, August 16th, at 11:05 a.m. at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by family. The official cause of death was respiratory failure due to lung cancer.”
The statement continued: “In one of the saddest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our hearts. As we grieve, we ask that you respect our privacy. And, while we mourn the loss of this sweet and gracious man, we also wish for all to celebrate his indomitable spirit and love of life. In honor of Peter, please raise a glass to freedom.”
Fonda rose to fame co-writing and starring in the seminal film, Easy Rider. His sister, Jane Fonda, told Variety of her brother: “I am very sad. He was my sweet-hearted baby brother. The talker of the family. I have had beautiful alone time with him these last days. He went out laughing.”

Peter was 10. He found out about her death after his sister Jane read about it in a magazine.
The Hired Hand star earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay in 1970. He was also nominated as Best Actor in 1998 for Ulee’s Gold.
Fonda snagged two Golden Globes: a Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama award in 1998 for Ulee’s Gold and a Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television statue two years later for his part in The Passion of Ayn Rand.
He is survived by his wife Margaret DeVogeleare, whom he married in 2011 and his children, Bridget and Justin Fonda. He was previously married to Susan Brewer from 1961 to 1974 and Portia Rebecca Crockett from 1975 to 2011.

Harry Styles won’t be playing the role of Prince Eric in the live-action remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid after all.
Styles had been in talks to play the part for about a month, but People said Tuesday he is no longer in negotiations with Disney. “While he is a fan of the project, he has respectfully declined the offer,” a rep told People.
On Tuesday, both AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas inaccurately tweeted that Styles had been cast in the role. Both theater chains later deleted the tweets.
Halle Bailey is set to play the titular heroine in the movie musical, which re-imagines the 1989 cartoon classic. Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina will co-star. ABC is also planning a separate live-action TV event of The Little Mermaid featuring Auli’i Cravalho, Queen Latifah and Shaggy.

JAY-Z PARTNERS UP WITH THE NFL – (08/14/2019)
JAY-Z and the NFL have inked a new partnership. According to The Washington Post, Hov and Roc Nation will select the musical acts for the Super Bowl. The mogul will also assist in the NFL’s social justice endeavors.
The agreement will make JAY’s Roc Nation a co-producer of the Super Bowl halftime show, however, it does not suggest if the rapper will be performing himself.
NFL commissioner, Roger Goddell said, “He was very quick to say that he does not want this to be about him performing, that it was broader than that. It quickly went beyond that. Do I hope he’ll perform in the Super Bowl sometime in the next several years? Yes. But I think we’ll all know if that time comes. He’ll know in particular.”
Roc Nation will also choose who will perform throughout the NFL season.
JAY-Z expressed to the ‘Post’ that he believes the NFL will allow him and Roc Nation to have the freedom to produce the type of entertainment that they want. He said on the new partnership, “I think we have autonomy. I anticipate that there will be a lot of — with any big organization, in this building right here we have internal problems. Anything that’s new is going to go through its growing pains. We put what we want to do on the table. The NFL agreed to it. So we’re gonna proceed with that as if we have a partnership.”
As for the community activism portion of JAY-Z and the NFL’s partnership, that will be intertwined with the organization’s existing “Inspire Change” program with its players, which according to The New York Times, “donates money to groups fighting for criminal justice reform, opportunities in economically challenged areas and better relations between the police and local communities.”
It’s worth noting that JAY has been very vocal in his stance for former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. He recently said in an interview with the ’Times,’ “The N.F.L. has a great big platform, and it has to be all-inclusive. They were willing to do some things, to make some changes, that we can do some good.”
Commissioner Goodell added that the new alliance with JAY-Z will allow room for changes to be implemented within the league. He said in an interview, “We don’t want people to come in and necessarily agree with us; we want people to come in and tell us what we can do better. I think that’s a core element of our relationship between the two organizations, and with Jay and I personally.”
The “long-term partnership,” according to ESPN, will officially be announced on Wednesday (Aug. 14).

MILEY CYRUS AND LIAM HEMSWORTH SEPARATE AFTER SHORT MARRIAGE – (08/12/2019)
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have split up less than a year after exchanging marriage vows.
Cyrus shared photos from her Nashville wedding on December 23rd. In June, she denied rumors her 10-year romance with Hemsworth was over. “Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time,” Cyrus’ rep said. “Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.”
Entertainment Tonight published photos this weekend of Cyrus kissing and cuddling reality TV personality Kaitlynn Carter while they are on vacation in Italy. Carter confirmed last week that she broke up with Brody Jenner after six years. Brody doesn’t seem to mind.
“Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today,” Brody captioned a picture of himself on his Instagram on Sunday.
“Let’s round this scandal out and post a pic of us making out 😘,” Brandon Thomas Lee then commented.
“🤣 watch out! Pics of Liam and I holding hands on the beach coming soon 👬,” he responded to Brandon. Miley then chimed in with a comment of her own: “@brodyjenner go take a nap in your truck and cool off #HotGirlSummer 👯”
Miley also posted her first public comments about this new chapter in her life. “New day. New adventure,” Miley wrote Sunday on her socials, captioning one of three photos she posted her herself hiking in The Dolomites, a mountain range in northeastern Italy.
In a second photo, Miley shared a longer message: “Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win,” it begins. “Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with Africa, change is inevitable. The Dolomites were not created over night, it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed.”
A third photo Miley posted of herself, framed against lush green hills with mountain peaks in the distance, was accompanied by the simple message, “Life’s a climb… but the view is great.”
Miley and Liam first met on the set of the film The Last Song in 2009. They split in 2013 but reunited two years later, and tied the knot in a private ceremony in December 2018. They celebrated their 10-year anniversary as a couple in June.

MIKE POSNER STRUGGLING TO WALK AFTER RATTLESNAKE BITE – (08/12/2019)
Mike Posner posted an update on Saturday after news broke that he was bit by a baby rattlesnake and airlifted to treatment on Thursday.
Mike was crossing from Kansas to Colorado on an epic walk across the United States when he was bit. He also sent a thank you message to more than a dozen ICU staffers, and noted that he would continue physical therapy in order to walk again.
“From 24 miles per day to using this walker to get to bathroom. I’m on my way back. Gonna rebuild with patience and equanimity. HUGE shout outs to Stephanie, Fergie, Bo, Angie, Eddie, mike, dr black, dr van Birmingham, dr Gordon, dr Shapiro, Natalie, carol, Megan, Jeremy, and my whole family in ICU. Molly and her husband from PT are gonna come help me walk again tomorrow. KEEP GOING,” he captioned a video of himself struggling to walk with a walker.
He later shared a video from his hospital bed of him reciting what appear to be new song lyrics that focus on his frustrations with the distracted way he lives his life.
“I knew walking across America was going to be dangerous. I knew I could die doing it. I still might. So don’t feel sorry for me. I’m proud I’m in this hospital after chasing my dream and not sitting on the couch watching Netflix. I’m proud of this pain. If you understand this message, do not leave me sympathy comments, just write KEEP GOING. 🌳🌼🦁✨🙏🏻” he wrote in another post.
He continued, writing that he would be in the hospital for “a few days,” and would be unable to walk for several weeks, but hoped to start up his trip again as soon as possible.
A rep for Posner said he will be okay, but “needs to recover for a few weeks.”
