Whoops: BBC 5 Live host Danny Baker has been fired after he sent out a tweet about PRINCE HARRY and MEHGHAN MARKLE's new baby with an image of a couple holding hands with a chimpanzee dressed in clothes and the caption: "Royal Baby leaves hospital." Of course, it was interpreted as a slam at Meghan's racial heritage. After being fired from his weekend show, the 61-year-old Baker claimed it was a "stupid gag," but did not really apologize. He did tweet: "Sorry my gag pic of the little fella in the posh outfit has whipped some up. Never occurred to me because, well, mind not diseased."
Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, is African American.Yes, that would be SHARON STONE, now 61 years old, posing butt-nekkid for Vogue magazine's Portugal edition. Sharon also recreated her iconic scene from the movie "Basic Instinct" in the cover shoot wearing fishnets, stiletto heels and a plunging leotard --and with her legs spread apart to remind people of the movie.
So what's JAMES HOLZHAUER gonna do after he (eventually) leaves "Jeopardy"? Turns out he's always wanted to work for a major league baseball team in the front office. And as the Washington Post reported, current front office folks seem to be in agreement that the 34-year-old pro sports gambler "absolutely" has a future in the league. Holzhauer says he'd like to be a "consultant." We'll see if it comes to pass.
