Jane Fonda confirms she hasn’t got much longer left after cancer diagnosis but is ‘not afraid of death’

Recently, actress Jane Fonda spoke of her health and revealed to her fans that she’s been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system. At the time, she revealed that she had undergone chemo treatments and was doing fine.

“Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me,” she wrote. “One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one’s community so that we are not alone. And the cancer, along with my age – almost 85 – definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities.”

As this is the third time the A-list actress battles this horrific disease, she admitted in a recent interview how she feels as though she hasn’t got long left to live.

She admitted that she’s “not afraid of death” but knows she’ll be gone “sooner rather than later.”

Fonda spoke of her condition to Entertainment Tonight and stated, “I’m not going to be around for much longer.

“When you get to be my age, you better be aware of the amount of time that is behind you, as opposed to in front of you. I mean, that’s just realistic.”

Being a celebrity, Fonda is convinced she needs to be the one to raise awareness and speak openly of her battle as it will help others with their battles too.

“We also need to be talking much more not just about cures but about causes so we can eliminate them. For example, people need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. So do pesticides, many of which are fossil fuel-based, like mine.

“Believe me, I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism,” Fonda added.

Not many actresses can say they’ve reached the fame Jane Fonda has. Being 84 years old, she is still very active and inspires many young women who dream of following into her footsteps and making a name for themselves in the industry of film.

One might say that having Henry Fonda as a father, Jane had it easy, but the reality is that this incredible actress reached her celeb status thanks to her hard work and her undeniable talent.

After three marriages, and quite a few relationships, Jane is now single.

Fonda is a role model to millions.

Among the many causes Fonda has been involved in throughout the years is her fight against the climate change. For that purpose, she moved to Washington and launched Fire Drill Fridays, together with Greenpeace. Although she has been arrested numerous times for being involved in protests, she says she won’t stop.

In 2010, Fonda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in 2018, she had a growth removed from her lips.

We truly hope she would be able to win this battle.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Fonda.

58 years old today, this once famous actor has totally transformed, and people are not able to recognize her

Nicollette Sheriden never ceases to amaze us with her incredible looks. No matter now many years pass by, this gorgeous beauty defies them.

She started her career as a fashion model before landing a role in the short-lived ABC primetime soap opera Paper Dolls in 1984. Sheriden had her breakthrough with the role of Paige Matheson on the CBS primetime soap opera Knots Landing (1986–1993), for which she received two Soap Opera Digest Awards.

Further, she starred in a number of series, including Desperate Housewives and the Dynasty reboot.

Just recently, Sheridan, who turned 58 this year, gave an eyeful as she posted a photo showing off her flat abs in a two-piece swimsuit.

Being 58 and looking at least 30 years younger has to feel great, and this are some of the things Sheriden does to keep her body fit and in the perfect shape.

1. She starts the day with lemon water

“I start each day with a glass of lemon water with manuka honey and cayenne pepper,” she told First for Women. Further, as the day progresses, she has a concoction of one grapefruit, two oranges, lemon, and half a stem of fresh ginger. “It gives you natural vitamin C and balances your system!” 

2. She is active working on her farm

“Between my horses and my dog, Oliver, I can’t decide what brings me more joy!” Sheridan, who owns a property in Calabasas, told First for Women. “Oliver accompanies me everywhere and is such a source of love and comfort to me. He is an incredible spirit and a love in my life that I hold so dear, but all of my animals help me de-stress in different ways. I have horses, and I ride, clean and muck out their stalls — I even have a tractor! Being with my animals is like jumping into a cool pool of rejuvenation that always brings a smile to my face.”

3. She eats organic food

“I’m very big on everything organic — blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and eggs,” she shared with First for Women when asked of her diet. “I also use a variety of Indian spices in my cooking because they are wonderful for reducing inflammation. I love cumin, which is good for joint pain. I buy wild salmon for its natural oils and will eat it with yams, which are very good for overall health. Lots of water and raw almonds are my go-to healthy snacks, and lately, since I’ve been hungry right before bed, I’ll snack on a sweet orange like a Cara Cara orange. That always helps curb any late-night cravings!”

4. She does plenty of workout

Speaking to Celebrity Weight Loss, this gorgeous actress said she loves being active. Among the rest, she does cardio, running, and hiking, and swimming. Further, she said she enjoys being at the gym and is a lover of volleyball and martial arts.

“The choices are endless, really,” she said.. “You could make simple chores become workouts. Like walking my dog, for instance. He’s really my trainer.”

5. She practices qigong

A post shared by Nicollette Sheridan (@nicollettesheridan)

“I have a morning ritual that I would like to share with you. Qigong. Life-energy cultivation. An ancient Chinese healing art. It is a practice that quiets your mind, awakens and energizes your body and refreshes your spirit. It is my foundation for opening to my potential…please join me,” she captioned this Instagram photo. 

6. She loves skiing

“It’s steeper than it looks! 😜⛷ Overcome your challenges…you can do it!!! #snow #skiing #inspiration #transcending,” she wrote alongside a photo of her conquering the mountains.

One thing is certain, Sheridan is without a doubt one of the most beautiful women of Hollywood.

Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and Charles acceding to the throne marked a new era for Britain.

When the late Queen was crowned some 70 years ago, Charles was just a three-year-old boy, who was totally unaware that the event he attended laid the foundation for him to become King one day.

Now that he became King of England, Charles has his hands full.

Just recently, the head of the monarchy and his darling wife visited Dunfermline, Scotland, for its 950th anniversary.

Then, they attended a reception at Victoria and Albert Halls in Ballater, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, near the Royal Family’s Scottish residence and used the opportunity to thank the residents for their immense support during the tragic event of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.

As they do all in their power to serve the country and its people the way Queen Elizabeth did, Charles and Camilla ditch certain traditions along the way.

It has been reported that the Queen Consort will not be needing ‘ladies-in-waiting,’ because she has already hired two brilliant secretaries when she first set up an office in the past.

King Charles seems to be doing the same; he’s skipping a tradition as well.

When his mother was crowned in 1954, over 8,000 guests were in attendance at the coronation, and 129 nations were officially represented. King Charles is now allegedly planning to significantly reduce that number on his coronation which is planned to take place next year.

Besides numerous royal duties, over the years, King Charles has been involved in a number of charities. For one, he started the Prince’s Rainforest Project in 2007 to raise awareness of deforestation. At the same time, he’s been the president of the WWF in the UK and even started his own organic farm and garden at Highgrove Gardens.

Unfortunately, becoming King of the UK and 14 other countries — known as Commonwealth realms, Charles needs to step down from projects that are close to his heart.

There is no doubt that King Charles performs his royal duties with excellence. He also addresses the nation every now and then, but it was one of his speeches during the pandemic that left many puzzled, and it’s not because of what he said, but because of the background.

After being tested positive for coronavirus and spending some days in isolation back in April 2020, King Charles delivered speech from his Scottish home Birkhall via video call. He praised the staff at the newly opened NHS Nightingale Hospital.

As he addressed the hospital workers, Charles said, “In this dark time, this place will be a shining light.

“It is, without doubt, a spectacular and almost unbelievable feat of work in every sense, from its speed of construction in just nine days to its size and the skills of those who have created it.

“An example if ever one was needed of how the impossible can be made possible and how we can achieve the unthinkable through human will and ingenuity,” he added.

However, as people loved what he had to say, they couldn’t help but notice a detail in the background.

Namely, several photos could be seen, among them one of him with his sons, Harry and William, another one with his mother, the Queen, and a wedding day photo of his beloved wife, Queen Consort Camilla.

And then, there was a frame without a photo in it.

“Did Charles forget to put a picture in the frame?” one person joked on Twitter as a white silhouette in front of a black background could be seen behind the King.

Three university football players from the same team shot dead after school trip – ex-player in custody

By

-

The three students who were shot and killed Sunday night on Virginia University Campus have been identified as Lavel Davis, Jr., D’Sean Perry and Devin Chandler.

Lavel Davis Jr was a junior and wide receiver on the UVA football team who finished his freshman season at UVA with the second most average yards per reception in the nation with 25.75.

D’Sean Perry was a junior linebacker and defensive end and the third victim, Devin Chandler, was a junior wide receiver and kick returner.

Their deaths shocked the entire community and the person held accountable for the mass shooting is allegedly another football player, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr, who was listed on the University of Virginia’s football team roster in 2018.

According to the police, 22-year-old Jones has since been arrested and charged with three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony.

University of Virginia police chief Tim Longo said that the university’s multi-disciplinary threat assessment team got notified that Jones was carrying a gun on campus but the person who came forward with the information said he had never actually seen the weapon, he only heard Jones had it with him.

“The comment about Mr. Jones owning a gun was not made in conjunction with any threats,” Longo explained.

Two other students were shot too, one of which is reported to have suffered minor injuries while the second one remains in critical condition.

Tony Elliot, Virginia football coach, expressed his condolences and spoke of the tragedy.

“I cannot find the words to express the devastation and heartache that our team is feeling today after the tragic events last night that resulted in the deaths of Lavel, D’Sean and Devin, and the others who were injured.

“These were incredible young men with huge aspirations and extremely bright futures. Our hearts ache for their families, their classmates and their friends. These precious young men were called away too soon. We are all fortunate to have them be a part of our lives. They touched us, inspired us and worked incredibly hard as representatives of our program, university and community. Rest in peace, young men.”

At the time the shooting took place, the football team was returning from Washington D.C. as part of a school trip.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the grieving families.

Ozzy Osbourne says he’s leaving the US for good – ‘I don’t want to die in America’

By
Monica Pop

For the last two decades of his life, the Black Sabbath lead vocalist, Ozzy Osbourne, has been living in L.A. However, it seems like he’shad it enough of the States and is now planning on returning to his homeland, England.

Ozzy was born and raised in Birmingham. He and his band, which he was fired from back in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, were highly influential on the development of heavy metal music.

Recently, Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, spoke of their life in America and said, “It’s a very weird place to live right now.” 

During the last couple of years, ‘The Prince of Darkness’ suffered several medical conditions and was forced to undergo several surgeries.

Ever since his quad-bike accident in 2003, everything went downfall for the famous musician. Later, in 2019, he suffered yet another life-threatening fall when he fell in his bathroom and dislodged metal screws in his spine.

“I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, lost my balance, and landed flat on my face,” Ozzy explained.

“When I fell to the ground, I noticed a large white flash and said to myself, ‘you’ve finally accomplished it now.’

“I knew it was serious, and I thought I was paralyzed; thus, I remarked very gently to Sharon, ‘Sharon, I can’t move.’ It appears that I’ve broken my neck. Dial 9-1-1 for an ambulance.”

However, according to Sharon, Ozzy’s decision to return to the UK has nothing to do with his health and his recent Parkinson Disease diagnosis.

“I knew people would think that. It’s not. It’s just time. America has changed so drastically. It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it,” she said.

Ozzy himself spoke how he feels about America.

“Everything’s f*cking ridiculous there. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It’s f*cking crazy,” he told The Observer.

He’s also fed up with Hollywood’s glam and everything it brings.

“And I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f*cking Forest Lawn,” the memorial park in LA where many celebs are laid to rest.

“I’m English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we’ve got to go and live in Timbuktu, I’ll go. But, no, it’s just time for me to come home,”he added.

Recently, Ozzy went back home to Birmingham after nearly 10 years where he reunited with Black Sabbath. The group performed at the Commonwealth Games in the city.

Ozzy was approached with an offer to perform several times, but he declined it as he wasn’t feeling confident to be on stage because of his health. However, once he felt fine and performed in July at Comic Con in San Diego, he was given another offer which he accepted.

No matter what he chooses to do, we wish Ozzy and his family only the best.

The former The Tonight Show host Jay Leno has been hospitalized following a gasoline fire during which he suffered serious burns. The incident reportedly took place at his Burbank garage over the weekend.

“I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet,” Leno told The Times in a statement Monday.

Leno is a huge classic-car enthusiast known for his extensive car collection. He is reported to have 160 cars and 130 motorcycles in his Burbank garage. At the moment, he hosts the TV series Jay Leno’s Garage, streaming on Peacock.

News of Leno’s accident was first reported by TMZ. According to the magazine, Leno was in the garage Sunday when one of his cars suddenly burst into flames. He was then taken to a burn center where he reportedly remains hospitalized in stable condition.

“His family was not able to provide us very many details, but there was a very serious medical emergency that is preventing Jay from traveling,” an email to attendees of the Financial Brand Forum said after Leno abruptly cancelled his appearance at a conference in Las Vegas on November 13 following the accident. “All we know is that he is alive, so our prayers go out to him and his family tonight.”

When the fans learned their favorite host was being involved in an emergency situation, many speculated it had to do with his high cholesterol, something he struggles with for some time now. He spoke openly about it in the past, referring to the high levels of cholesterol as of “time bomb.”

Besides Jay Leno’s Garage, Leno also hosts the revival of syndicated game show You Bet Your Life. Luckily, the accident will not impact the game show, which has wrapped filming on its second season. 

Although his current condition remains unclear, Leno is expected to get back on his feet soon.

Our prayers are with Leno as he recovers from the horrible accident and the injuries he sustained.

At the age of 4, she was dubbed ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’ – This is what she looks at 20 years old

By

Every child is beautiful in their own way, but some possess features so unique that they are easily dubbed most beautiful children in the world. One such child, whose appearance took the world by storm, is a girl named Thylane.

From the moment she was born, this girl attracted the attention of everyone who has ever met her. Her grey eyes and curly hair made many modelling agencies ask to work with her even when she was still just a toddler.

For some women, it takes lots of years of hard work and trying in order to find their place in the modelling industry and be part of the world of fashion shows, but for Thylane, it all came naturally.

But the age of 10, she was already known as the most beautiful child in the world.

She was one of the few children her age who was given the opportunity to pose for Vogue and be on the cover of a number of prestigious magazines.

Back then, her family faced heavy criticism as many believed that Thylane was supposed to be spending her days being around her friends, play outside, and do what most 10-year-olds do, not be constantly dragged to photoshoots, fashion shows, and different fashion events. Her parents didn’t let the mean words affect their parenting.

As Thylane became a nig name in the industry, she decided to try herself as an actress. In fact, it was a number of producers who wanted to work with her that made her go for it.

After appearing in a movie, Thylane turned to the fashion and beauty industry once again.

The young child is now all grown up. Recently, she was spotted with her boyfriend in the south of France. Judging from the photos of their holiday, it’s safe to say they are very much in love.

She was a rock star, and millions of people loved her music

By

Widely known as ‘The Queen of Rock’ and ‘The Queen of Country Rock,’ Linda Ronstadt’s music career marked a whole era. The 70’s are among the rest known for her amazingly powerful voice that placed her on the list of the world’s best female singers of all time. 

In a recent interview for the CBS Sunday Morning, this music icon spoke about her life, her biggest accomplishments, and how she learned to live with the progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), which was initially identified as Parkinson’s disease, which was the reason for her retirement in 2009.

PSP is an uncommon brain disorder that causes serious problems with walking, balance and eye movements. The impact on a patient’s voice is perhaps most notable. Sadly, Ronstadt experienced this firsthand. She lost her singing voice as a result of the illness.

She hasn’t been able to sing freely for more than ten years, and while she genuinely misses it, she has discovered a new way to sing, albeit with her mind rather than her voice. 

During the interview Linda also spoke about her decision to never get married and her albums that were sold in more than a hundred million records.  

For much of her career, Linda practically lived on the road, but these days, her world is a bit smaller, living in a house in San Francisco, located in a quiet street. She shares with Tracy Smith what keeps her busy nowadays. 

The interview starts with Linda’s live interview at the United Artists’ Theater in Los Angeles, CA. She shared with the crowd instances of her life and says it felt good being in front of so many people again. Yet, she jokes how she was glad “they didn’t boo or start yelling for ‘Heatwave,” Linda’s hit that reached 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. 

YouTube

Linda’s career began when she was only 14 years old. She first started performing with her brother Peter and her sister Gretchen as the “Union City Ramblers”, “The Three Ronstadts”, and “The New Union Ramblers.” The siblings treated the world with folk, country, bluegrass, and Mexican music. It wasn’t until she was 18 that she pursued a music career in LA. There, she formed Stone Poneys along with the guitarist-songwriter Kenny Edwards. In just 15 months, they released three albums under Capitol Records. Their hit single, Different Drum, reached number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

In 1969, Linda released her first solo album, Hand Sown…Home Grown. This album saw Ronstadt take a decisive turn away from the folk music of The Stone Poneys toward country and rock. Later, she would produce songs in different genres including country, rock, pop, gospel, r&b, opera, and mariachi. 

During the following year, the second album, Silk Purse, saw the light of the day. In 1971, Linda received her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Contemporary Vocal Performance for “Long, Long Time.”

YouTube
She ended her career with a handful of awards and nominations from the Grammy Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Music Association, Tony Awards, and Golden Globe Awards.

In 2013 she was given the National Medal of Arts award presented to her by President Barack Obama “for her one of a kind voice and decades of remarkable music.”

Linda’s final concert took place in 2009, several years after she suffered the first symptoms of the disease that would mark the years to come. Recently, the “first true woman rock ‘n’ roll superstar” started appearing at spoken-work events. 

YouTube
On Feb. 1st, 2019, Linda released a 1980 live concert that was originally filmed for HBO, Linda Ronstadt: Live In Hollywood. It includes some of her greatest hits of all time. 

Below is the interview with Linda. If you want to learn what she is up to these days don’t forget to check it out.
