Under the knife: MILEY CYRUS, who reportedly had vocal cord surgery after having tonsillitis last month and will now have to quit talking for a couple of months while she recovers. People magazine reports this means she won't be able to record new music and perform in concert --or on TV-- until early 2020.
Canadian NEIL YOUNG has reportedly applied for dual citizenship in order to become a U. S. citizen so he can vote in the upcoming 2020 presidential election. But Rolling Stone magazine reports the citizenship application has been delayed in part due to the "good morale character" clause on the immigration application.
After digging deeper, Neil says the problem is reportedly because he smokes pot.
"...I have been told that I must do another test, due to my use of marijuana and how some people who smoke it have exhibited a problem."
Neil --who's lived mostly in the U.s. since the late Sixties-- told the NY Times he hoped to have all questions answered and can take the oath of citizenship after his 74th birthday on November 12th.
"I pay taxes down here; my beautiful family is all down here --they're all Americans, so I want to register my opinion."Fast food news: The folks at Subway have designed a new "Green Eggs and Ham Sandwich" which combines green eggs, ham, American cheese, guacamole, fresh spinach and sliced tomatoes on fresh Italian bread. And yes, the eggs aren't really green, just made that way thanks to the spinach. Unfortunately for your Dr. Suess fans, it's only available at select locations in New York City and LA through the end of the year.
Congratulations to SANDRA the ORANGUTAN, who's now 33-years-old and living in a new home at the Center for Great Apes in Florida.
CNN reports Sandra, who spent the past 20 years at the Buenos Aires Zoo, was at the center of a court case there in 2015. There, she was declared a "nonhuman being" by a judge, which allowed her to have basic rights including life, freedom, and a premise of "no harm" either physically or psychologically. But since the only places she could live in Argentina were not sanctuaries, the judge asked the Center for Great Apes to take her in. The Center, which already houses 22 orangutans and another 31 chimpanzees, were only too happy to take her in, ending the story happily ever after. -
