Actor MICHAEL DOUGLAS was on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Monday and told her he was mistaken for his 18-year-old daughter's grandfather at her recent high school graduation. He *is* 76 years old. As he put it, "It's a little rough when you're going out the doors and the other parents are saying, 'Oh congratulations... you must be so proud of your granddaughter'." Michael's two kids are his daughter, CARYS, and his son, DYLAN, who's all of 20 years old.
Congratulations to 30-year-old “Coming 2 America” co-star and entertainer TEYANA TAYLOR, who was just named Maxim magazine’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” --becoming the first black woman to receive the top honor. JENNIFER LOPEZ, IRINA SHAYK, MEGAN THEE STALLION, ELIZA GONZALEZ, model CINDY KIMBERLY, and pro fighter MIA KANG also made Maxim’s “Hot 100” list this year.
Gotta wonder about a guy who spent two days inside a large fan at a Santa Rosa, California vineyard. The cops found the guy only after somebody called in a report of a vehicle that had been parked by the vineyard and the man had to be pulled out of the fan by the fire department. He claimed he liked to take pictures of "old farm equipment," although the police have said he had far more methamphetamine than camera equipment.
There's an annular eclipse of the sun early this morning, beginning at 6:53 a.m. (Eastern) and lasting for around an hour and 40 minutes. Nobody in the U.S. will see the full annular eclipse, although some people along the East Coast and in the Upper Midwest will get a chance to see a partial solar eclipse just after sunrise. The annular eclipse is different from a total solar eclipse, because the moon is too far from the Earth and does not completely block the sun, leaving a "ring of fire" around it's edge at the height of the eclipse. And even though it's pretty much blocked, experts say you shouldn't look directly at the eclipse because you'll damage your eyes.
