When I did find out, I was a little shocked at first. But my father was very open about it. We’re a very open, close knit family who communicate well, so it was never a taboo topic. Though he didn’t talk about it very often when my sister and I were teenagers, when he did it was always with truth and openness. That’s the relationship I have with my parents....
By the age of 42, I’d spent over 20 years living and working in London. It would be accurate to say that the motto “living to work” applied to me. I had a great career in the music industry, an incredible network of dear friends and was close enough to my childhood home to visit Mom whenever I wanted. Being an only child we were extremely close and we always joked that she lived vicariously through me....
Veteran tough guy actor Robert Davi returns to the director chair for the third time in a film written by Brian Gadawa. “I don’t believe any voice should be held down in America, as the left is doing,” Davi told Newsweek. “In Hollywood today, most conservatives are afraid to speak up. That has got to change.” The film repeatedly makes jibes at the Biden family, liberals and the media as it attempts to shed light on a story filled with conspiracy theories and political wrongdoing....
For the last three seasons, the very talented young knights of the Los Angeles Lakers have watched the NBA finals on television, stewing in a funk of recriminations and vexing underachievement. But there is a different chemistry on the team this year. Bryant and O’Neal, open antagonists at times last year, held up their fragile peace; veteran role players like Ron Harper and John Salley, brought in to replace some marquee hotshots of past years, added an air of lunchbucket calm....
Earlier this morning, Sanders shared a newly launched social media campaign called #MyBernieStory on Twitter and asked his supporters to use the hashtag to explain how his presidency would change their lives. “This campaign is not just about me.

Thursday night in the Great Lakes Loons’ Single-A matchup against the Dayton Dragons, Dodgers catching prospect Diego Cartaya launched a solo home run to center field in the seventh inning.

After opening with some insane dunks from cover stars Damian Lillard and Zion Williamson, the clip transitions to a game between the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors. It might not be the matchup of the century in the real world, but it works as a solid centerpiece to illustrate just how much the next-gen version has improved. As Luka Dončić emerges from the locker room, he’s even greeted by a fairly lifelike representation of Mavs owner Mark Cuban....

Matt Hancock announced that London and a number of other areas in the south of England will be placed under new harsher restrictions following “very sharp rises” in COVID cases. It is not yet known what extent the new variant of COVID has had on the rise in cases and there is “nothing to suggest” it causes worse disease or that vaccines would no longer work, he said. At least 60 different local authorities in England have recorded infections caused by the new strain....
The Danish defender is being tipped for big things at Stamford Bridge, with an academy graduate having made a first team breakthrough in 2017-18. He has been likened to Blues legend Terry, with his no-nonsense approach complemented by ball-playing ability. Christensen has, however, made a few costly errors of late and sounded out an iconic Chelsea captain in an effort to continue his learning curve. He told Eurosport in Denmark: “I try to keep it inside the club and not bring it home with me....

Goal revealed earlier on Saturday that the Chilean is desperate to secure a switch during the January transfer window, having missed out over the summer. Since seeing the Gunners block a £60 million transfer, Sanchez has continued to run down his contract at Emirates Stadium while sparking endless rounds of rumours regarding possible moves and dressing room disharmony. He has also missed out on a place at next summer’s World Cup finals after failing to inspire Chile to a spot at a 2018 showpiece in Russia....
The latest Chelsea transfer rumours The 23-year-old attacker has had to spend much of the campaign watching from the sidelines as the Blues won the Premier League, though he has scored a handful of important goals since making a €40 million move from Marseille last summer. Indeed, it was Batshuayi whose strike sealed the title for Antonio Conte’s side, while he also scored two in the final-day demolition of Sunderland....
On December 5, the TikTok user @dunkin.ducks posted a video of her and her duck driving around town. Viewed over 10.5 million times and liked over 4 million times, the video is captioned, “She is so obsessed with ice.” In the video the woman says that her female duck is so obsessed with Dunkin’ that she pants whenever she goes through the drive-thru. “She is such a faker,” the woman says, opening the duck’s carrier after mentioning that the duck had just consumed an ice-filled cup of water and fruit at Starbucks only minutes prior....
Keith Martin, 41, described as an “obsessive stalker” by Northumbria Police, pleaded guilty to stalking causing serious alarm and distress for hounding his victim after their relationship had ended. Martin was found to have placed a tracking device on his ex-partner’s car. The device was connected to a cellphone app, which showed the defendant the exact whereabouts of her vehicle. Police said Martin was also “repeatedly bombarding” the woman with text messages and emails, as well as unannounced visits to her home....
The new food trend is taking off online using elements from everyone’s favorite kindergarten sandwich, the PB and J, and people are horrified. The unusual dish—which sees a rack of ribs smothered in peanut butter and jelly—is gaining interest after a sports reporter, from Arizona, shared snaps of the meal. Kari Steele, a Digital Video Beat Journalist for ABC15, posted five photos to Twitter on Thursday, each showing a different outlet’s take on the bizarre food pairing....
The win completed a sweep for the Nationals, who began life as the Montreal Expos and will face the winner of the ALCS between the Astros and Yankees. (Houston took a 2-1 series lead Tuesday with a 4-1 win in that series.) Tuesday’s series-clinching victory was decided early as Washington scored seven runs in the first inning with RBIs from Trea Turner, Anthony Rendon, Juan Soto, Victor Robles and Yan Gomes, before pitcher Patrick Corbin’s 12 strikeouts saw them through to the win....
The Bosnia-Herzegovina forward scored 72 goals in four-and-a-half seasons with City, before moving to Italy’s capital, initially on loan, in August 2015. After making that switch permanent, Dzeko enjoyed a prolific campaign last term, registering a club-record 39 goals for Roma, including 29 in Serie A alone. Ahead of his team’s clash with Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday, Dzeko was asked if he was now a “different player, a better player” than a few years ago....
