Bobby Sherman has had an impressive career both as an actor and a musician. He has sold millions of records and has captured the hearts of millions of fans, yet, he decided to change careers in the midst of his fame.

Over the course of his life, this incredible man has learned how to play 16 instruments.

His love for music was always present but his talent was only noticed when a girlfriend of his took him with her to a cast party for The Greatest Story Ever Told. At the time, he was a student at Pierce College in Woodland Hill, near Los Angeles.

At that point, he already played music, and many of his close friends were aware of his talent and beautiful voice.

When he arrived at the party, he noticed some familiar faces on the stage and decided to join them, singing Ray Charles’ What I’d Say.

Since it was a Hollywood party, there were celebrity people in attendance, among which Sal Mineo, who was stunned by Sherman’s singing and decided to take him under his wing.

“People were saying things like, ‘Who’s handling you’ I had no idea what that meant,” Sherman said.

“Well, I was a kid from Van Nuys, you know, and it was, `What do they mean, handling me?’ Then I realized they meant representation.”

Three days after the party, an agent, who heard of Sherman through one of the guests in attendance, decided to send him to an audition for the series Shindig. As we all know, he landed the role and it was the start of something huge.

He went on to stare in a number of movies and series and his fame grew bigger and bigger. Sherman turned into a heartthrob.

Sherman became aware of the extent of the fame his character enjoyed among fans during a telethon in Buffalo.

“The show had just hit the air, and we didn’t even have any records out yet,” Sherman told Tulsa World.

“Greg Morris of Mission: Impossible and Robert Brown and I from Here Come The Brides had been asked to do the telethon, and it was going along and doing very well, when the fire marshall came in and said, ‘We have a problem. You’d better come up to the second floor; You’ve got to greet some people.’

“They opened up this window, and I looked out, and the parting lot of this television station was absolutely a sea of faces,” he added. “It was just unbelievable. And I got a clue then that something was happening.”

When it comes to his music career, it’s safe to say that it has been as rich as that in acting. Over the course of the years, Sherman sold a million copies of six different single recordings, and one million copies of four different recorded albums. Some of his all-time hits include Little Woman, Easy Come, Easy Go, and Julie, Do Ya Love Me.

However, at the peak of his fame, Sherman found another passion in life. He decided to take some first aid-CPR classes and started volunteering as an emergency medical technician. “The very first call, I saved a little 5-year-old girl’s life. I thought, ‘yeah, that’s the most incredible feeling,’” he recalled in a 1994 interview.

Over time, he became the first aid teacher to police officers at the Los Angeles Police Department, and in 1992, he became a sworn-in police officer with the LAPD.

He once recalled that he was answering a call with the Fire Department paramedics and his teen fame followed him to his new job.

“On one call in Northridge, we were working on a hemorrhaging woman who had passed out,” Sherman shared with The Times.

“Her husband kept staring at me. Finally, he said, ‘Look, honey, it’s Bobby Sherman!’ The woman came to with a start. She said, ‘Oh great, I must look a mess!’ I told her not to worry; she looked fine.”

Sherman has always thanked his friends for everything he has accomplished in life.

“What I’ve done with my life, and what I’ve been able to accomplish, all comes down to the fact that I’ve been blessed by the fans. It’s stayed with me, so I can have the opportunity to do things that I really love doing,” he shared with Tulsa World.

“I don’t think I’d change a thing — except to maybe be a little bit more aware of [the success], because I probably could’ve relished the fun of it a little more,” Sherman admitted. “It was a lot of work. It was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. But it was the best of times.”

In 2011, he married his second wife, Brigette, and the two founded the The Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation, a Ghana-based youth center dedicated to blending music and education.

Today, Bobby Sherman is 80 and he hasn’t lost a bit of his charm.

These Target stores

The retail chain Target announced the closing of nine stores in major cities across four states, blaming theft and organized retail crime that made the environment unsafe for staff and customers – and unsustainable for business.

According to the company, they struggle to contain store crimes that have hurt their bottom line.

The company will close stores in New York City, the San Francisco Bay area, Portland and Seattle, explicitly citing retail theft as the driving factor for the closures.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” the company said in a press release.

Business Insider

Despite “adding more security team members, using third-party guard services, and implementing theft-deterrent tools,” the challenges with crime persisted. 

The stores in question are listed below.

  1. New York City:
    • Harlem: 517 E 117th St. (96 remaining stores, over 20,000 team members)
  2. Seattle:
    • University Way: 4535 University Way NE
    • Ballard: 1448 NW Market St., Ste. 100 (22 remaining stores, nearly 4,000 team members)
  3. San Francisco/Oakland:
    • SF Folsom: 1690 Folsom St.
    • Oakland Broadway: 2650 Broadway
    • Pittsburg: 4301 Century Blvd. (32 remaining stores, over 6,400 team members)
  4. Portland:
    • Galleria: 939 SW Morrison St.
    • Powell: 3031 SE Powell Blvd.
    • Hollywood: 4030 NE Halsey St. (15 remaining stores, more than 2,500 team members)

As per Target CEO Brian Cornell, the retail theft was “a worsening trend that emerged last year.”

“The problem affects all of us, limiting product availability, creating a less convenient shopping experience, and putting our team and guests in harm’s way,” Cornell told CNBC.

The company is allying with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations division, because as they stated, “While we will continue to make meaningful investments throughout our business, we cannot solve this issue on our own.”

They did not comment whether the stores were under-performing or reaching their revenue goals, but said they expected to lose $500 million this year due to rising theft.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being kept in the dark about Kate Middleton’s surgery and recovery – there’s ‘no trust’

Catherine, the Princess of Wales opened up of her cancer diagnosis, putting a stop to the speculations that had been going on ever since her planned abdominal surgery in mid-January.

And now, as her people and the members of the Firm all wished her well, Harry and Meghan also issued a statement, though a brief one.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the statement read.

It came mere hours after Kate’s video in which she spoke of her current health state.

Amid the confusion and the rumors surrounding Kate following her surgery, it was reported that Meghan reached out to her.

WINDSOR, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 10: Catherine, Princess of Wales, Prince William, Prince of Wales, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on the long Walk at Windsor Castle arrive to view flowers and tributes to HM Queen Elizabeth on September 10, 2022 in Windsor, England. Crowds have gathered and tributes left at the gates of Windsor Castle to Queen Elizabeth II, who died at Balmoral Castle on 8 September, 2022. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images)

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, royal expert and author Tom Quinn said: “It’s definitely a good time for Meghan to try to build bridges with her sister-in-law and there has been some contact, but it’s been formal rather than sisterly – again, there is always the problem that Meghan can’t be trusted.”

The trust issue was the reason why both Harry and Meghan have been kept out of the loop and were intentionally “being left out of any details” as to Kate’s health woes.

As per People magazine, although Kate and William are on speaking terms with the Sussexes, their relationship is nowhere near as close as it was when Meghan first became a part of the family. “They are aware of everything that goes on back in England, but are being left out of any details regarding Kate. There is clearly no trust,” a source told the magazine.

The truth is that after everything happened between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the trust is lost.

Since the couple stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain behind thus settled in the States, they have been open about things that were taking place behind closed doors at the Palace, accusing the members of the Firm of racism and sharing intimate details through interviews and Harry’s book Spare, among the rest.

“It would be the normal run of things to go and see your sister-in-law who’s had a serious operation and also see your niece and nephews. But it isn’t normal. It’s terribly sad,” a source close to the royal household told People.

She was 25 with cancer and she just announced her own death

A young life was cut short because of cancer. This awful disease, which can attack anyone no matter age, gender, or race, takes a lot of bravery to fight, but even then, many lose the battle.

On the day she lost her life to cancer, 25-year-old Daniella Thackray posted her final words on Facebook and LinkedIn.

“If you’re reading this then it means I have died from my battle with cancer and my family are posting my final message on my behalf,” her statement began.

“Firstly, I just want to say that not all cancers are caused by lifestyle choices, in some cases it’s genetics or unfortunately it just happens. In my case, despite me being very healthy and active, a cancer started in my bile ducts which was not caused by anything in my control and my life was never the same again.”

The post revealed that this beautiful young woman was diagnosed with Cholangiocarinoma, “a rare aggressive cancer with often no obvious causes and no cure.” And although the rare cancer claimed her life, one of Daniella’s final wishes is that, “in the years to come, more research is done about this horrid cruel disease so that more lives can be saved.”

Despite the fact she couldn’t do anything to help herself, she still got to decide how to “react” about her illness. “I chose not to mourn the life I was losing despite being so devastated, but to instead enjoy every moment I had left.”

“As I have always said and believed you should enjoy the little things in life and cherish every moment! Romanticise your life! Do whatever makes you happy and don’t let anyone take the joy of life away from you,” Daniella continued.

Being robbed of her future didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy the presence she was given. And in her short life, Daniella achieved what she always dreamed of. She “loved my job, my fiancé, my family, my friends and my dog, and the house we were going to buy and the future we were making for ourselves.”

In her post, she included her gratitude to her fur baby Leo and everyone who helped make her world magical.

She then left one final message to the man she loved, her fiancé Tom. “I love you and always will. Thank you for supporting me and bringing so much love and happiness into my life. Go enjoy your life now, you deserve it.”

“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you,” her message ended.

Everyone who knew her agree that this young woman was an incredible person. May she rest in peace.

Michael Jackson’s only daughter Paris proud of African-American roots, identifies as black

Paris Jackson, the only daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson, opened up about her African-American roots and how proud she is of that, as well as the criticism she received.

Paris, 25, was born to parents Billie Jean hitmaker and Debbie Rowe in 1998.

Over the years, there have been speculations that Jackson wasn’t the biological father of his three children, Paris and her two brothers, Bigi, 22, and Prince, 27. This was due to the fact that that many couldn’t see any resemblance between the late star and the kids, especially Paris who has white skin, light eyes and now bleached-blond hair.

The kids were very close with their father who went to great lengths to protect them from media scrutiny. His measures were unlike, however. He would show his son Bigi to the public with his face covered with a blanket, causing him troubles while growing up because his friends often teased him. He now prefers to be called Bigi.

Following the star’s death in 2009, his children were tossed alone in the public eye, turning them a highly profitable prey for the media that were eager to share their photos and followed their every step.

This experience left Paris battling a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“I experience audio hallucinations, sometimes, with camera clicks and severe paranoia and have been going to therapy for a lot of things, but that included,” she shared.

By age 15, Paris attempted suicide “multiple times” and in 2019 she was admitted at a treatment facility. “It was just self-hatred…Low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore.”

Today, she’s a successful musician who follows into her father’s footsteps. Over the years, she has also walked the runway for famous brands such as Chanel. Paris is a member of the band The Soundflowers.

“Everyone in my family does music. I mean, I’m a Jackson,” she said in 2020. “It makes sense that I’m a musician but like, a Jackson doing folk indie?”

Paris is very close to her brothers and looks up to Prince. “He’s everything to me, you know?” In 2020, she told People of her relationship with her older brother. “I’ve always looked up to him and always wanted his approval and everything, and wanted to be more like him.”

He loves and supports his younger sister as much. “Basically, as a person, she is who my dad is. The only thing that’s different would be her age and her gender,” he said of Paris, adding that she’s similar to her father “in all of her strengths, and almost all of her weaknesses as well. She’s very passionate.”

The physical appearance of the King of Pop underwent significant changes over the course of his life and many accused him of bleaching his skin, which was considerably darker in his younger days, but he claimed he had never done anything to his skin and that it turning white was a result of Vitiligo, during an Oprah interview in 1993.

“I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am,” Jackson told Winfrey at the time.

Back in 2017, speaking of herself, Paris told Rolling Stone magazine she “considers [herself] black,” and that “[Michael] would look me in the eyes and he’d point his finger at me and he’d be like, ‘You’re black. Be proud of your roots.’”

“Most people that don’t know me call me white. I’ve got light skin and, especially since I’ve had my hair blond, I look like I was born in Finland or something,” she said. “And I’d be like, ‘okay, he’s my dad, why would he lie to me?’ So I just believe what he told me. [Because], to my knowledge, he’s never lied to me.”

This declaration of race triggered criticism on Paris. Among the rest, it was host Wendy William’s that mocked Paris’ statement.

 “I get that she considers herself black and everything, but I’m just talking about the visual because you know…black is not what you call yourself, it’s what the cops see you when they got steel to your neck on the turnpike.”

She added: “It’s what they see. But that’s cute and good for her.”

Dermatologist reveals what could be the mystery marks on Trump’s hand

During recent public appearances, former president Donald Trump displayed mysterious red marks on his hand.

The marks could be spotted on his thumb, index finger and palm as he waved to cameras. This led to speculations over the cause, and according to some, the issue with Trump’s hand could be a result of a fall, a hand herpes, or even ketchup.

Dr. Joshua Zeichner, an associate professor of dermatology at the Mount Sinai Hospital, was questioned of the potential reasons for the appearance of the red marks. Speaking to Business Insider, he explained, “Rashes on the hands can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from infections to inflammatory conditions to external exposures.”

Of course, he added that it is not possible to diagnose a skin ailment from a single photo.

Further, Zeichner offered four explanations for Trump’s hand rashes, most of which are certainly less intriguing than the theories floating around the internet.

His hands are too dry?

One of the reasons for Trump’s red marks could be that his hands are too dry. The former president once revealed he’s been a “germophobe,” so this hypothesis of him likely washing his hands too often and making them dry may hold merit. Dry hands may also be a result of cold weather.

Being a passionate golf player, Trump spends time at the golf court and enjoys the game, so according to Dr. Zeicher, the red marks may result from “friction from activities like golf, weightlifting, or baseball.”

There was lime juice on his hands?

“Even exposure to lime juice in the presence of sunlight can cause a chemical burn to the skin,” or “margarita burn,” according to Zeichner. Trump doesn’t consume alcohol, but a zesty mocktail can leave welts on your skin.

None of the above!

The exact reason for Trump’s red marks on his hand can’t be stated judging from a photo. It can simply be an insect bite, who knows.

During both presidential campaigns, past and present, Trump has bragged about his perfect health state.

As per a medical report signed by Trump’s personal doctor, the former president and business mogul’s general health is “excellent.” Trump shared a report proclaiming his “exceptional” cognitive health on the day of Joe Biden’s 81st birthday.

Regarding the weight Trump lost, the letter by his doctor states it’s a result of “an improved diet and continued daily physical activity.” Further, the doctor claimed Trumps “laboratory analysis” came back more favorable than in prior testing without specific metrics listed.

In 2015, Trump’s doctor said he would be “the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.” The doctor later admitted that the patient had written the note.

This isn’t the first time Trump’s health to be widely spoken about. During his time at the White House, his physical and mental health came under scrutiny and some even saw him unfit as a head of the country. made headlines for days by talking about how well he did on a test of dementia that he said was an intelligence test. He said the questions were about picking out an elephant and saying “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV” over and over.

BREAKING: Kate Middleton appears on video, announces she has cancer

Breaking months of silence and speculations surrounding her health, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, announced cancer diagnosis Friday in an on-camera statement shared by Buckingham Palace.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she said. Kate further video detailed that tests following her ‘planned’ abdominal surgery revealed the presence of cancer.

“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” said the statement. “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

The Princess further detailed that it had taken her time to recover from the surgery and “to explain everything” to her children George, Charlotte and Louis.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louie in a way that’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be okay. As I said to them, I am well, and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal. In my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort.”

She didn’t reveal the specific type of cancer she’s battling.

In the video, she asks for privacy during this difficult time for her and her family.

The Princess of Wales continued, “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both. We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able — but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”

“At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope,” she concluded. “You are not alone.”

Her public statement put a stop to the conspiracy theories that have been circulating for a couple of months.

In the wake of ongoing speculation surrounding the Princess of Wales’ condition and whereabouts, British police were asked to look into a potential breach of Kate’s health records, a British health minister claimed, as per reports.

Kate’s decision to reveal her cancer diagnosis and the treatments she has started could be a result of this potential health records breach.

Following her abdominal surgery, Kate was nowhere to be seen until TMZ posted a photo of her in the car together with her mother.

Later, Kate shared a photo of herself and her children posing at the patio, but it was determined that the photo was manipulated. The Princess took the blame for it, saying she was the one who had edited the photo herself.
