Page 4 HAPPENINGS April 27, 2023 www.hap2it.com Actor, comedian and WWE wrestling manager, Thea Vidale has never been to Kenosha but that is about to change. Vidale is bringing her show to the Kenosha Comedy Club, Friday and Saturday May 5 & 6. This week we caught up with Vidale at her home in Houston, Texas via an interview on Happenings Q&A/AM1050 WLIP. It is Houston where she got her start in the comedy business, recalling that first time she got up on stage. “It was scary, so I just looked at my friends. The audience was laughing and I didn’t get it, I was really amazed at it all.” Many more shows followed, but it wasn’t until Vidale met Rodney Dangerfield, who gave the aspiring comedian her first big break and she began to realize this could be a career. That big break came in 1989 when Dangerfield cast Vidale on the HBO special, ‘Rodney Dangerfield: Opening Night at Rodney’s Place’. It’s where Vidale found herself with Tim Allen, Jeff Foxworthy, Greg Travis, Larry Reeb, Uncle Lar, Sam Kinison and a very young Chris Rock. “Rodney gave me a break and then more good things happened, I wasn’t sure about comedy until that first TV show.” Given the legend surrounding David Lettermen we had to ask Vidale what was her experience on the late night show with her responding, “He’s very strange. He is cool too, kind of aloof. He was scared of my long nails.” Vidale would go on to appear in a number of movies and television shows including: Comedy's Dirtiest Dozen, WWE Raw, Elen, Ugly Betty, The Drew Carey Show. However, Vidale would make history when ABC came calling and she became the first African American female comedian in a sitcom named after her. Thea also earned herself a nomination for a People's Choice Award for favorite female in a new series. The show’s premise showed Vidale as a widowed mother of four who worked in a Huston supermarket by day and ran a single-chair beauty salon on the corner of her porch in the evenings. Her supporting cast included Adam Jeffries, Jason Weaver, Brenden Jefferson, Yvette Wilson, Cleavant Derricks, and Brandy Norwood, whose music career has resulted in her selling over 40 million records worldwide. With low ratings the show only survived one season, however, Vidale would like to take another bite at the apple. “I want to do a new show but this time as a grandparent. Parents today give their kids too much. There’re mothers who just let them do anything. Can we go to the park? Did you do your homework? If you didn’t do your homework, we aren’t talking. I may put you in an Amazon boxthey’ll take you." Vidale, who has four children and nine grandchildren said, “Parents need to take care of their kids. They drop the grandkids off for a couple of hours. That’s two hours. They expect you to keep them all weekend. I’m not made like that." Vidale went on to discuss grandparents who are raising grandkids saying, “Then the parents come back after 5 years. I have a two-year-old grandson I’ve had since he was born. I’m too old to be potty training, I already did that. Our job is to spoil them, not raise them." If you’re a WWE fan you may recall Vidale’s foray into the world of professional wrestling when she transformed into Mama Benjamin, managing her son, Shelton Benjamin’s pro wrestling career. Vidale says, “Shelton was the best athlete. Others were working out while Shelton walked around eating twizzlers, that’s a body he could jump." Vidale went on to say, “I wanted him to win the belt but he is a different fellow. He is quiet and reserved. He felt the big belt was for the audience and I thought the big belt was the big belt, I wanted that belt. And I wanted him to want it and he didn’t.” Unfortunately, Mama Benjamin’s pro wrestling career was cut short when she fainted and EMT’s had to come to the rescue. Vidale recalls “that was fun. When I fainted, I didn’t know my dress would come up. And I kept telling people to pull my dress down, my mama’s watching while trying to be unconscious." The story line was that the fainting was the result of heart arrithimia and she would need a medical procedure. When in reality Vidale says, “I had to bow out because I needed hernia surgery. I had a bunch of hernias. I was supposed to go back, but I didn’t.” It begged to be asked, in jest, so what we see play out in and out of the ring isn’t real? Vidale’s response, “Let me ask you something, if I hit you in the head with a chair and you bleed, ain’t you looking for a gun?” Reflecting on those days Vidale says “I loved being on the WWE and Mr. McMahon, that chest is real, I touched it. That body is bigger than life, oh lord let me touch you." By Frank Carmichael Born Thea R. Vidale November 20, 1956 (age 66) Washington, D.C. Always the Jokester In a recent interview, Vidale said her silliness has occasionally landed her in trouble, especially in her younger days. In second grade she was expelled from school for drawing a stick figure man with three legs. Stern’s Favorite Joke During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Vidale shared a joke that really ticked the host. “It was about the Titanic,” she recalled. “There was a lady that is all she talked about - the movie. I told her I enjoyed watching you all drown - like crackers in soup.” Thea Vidale… meet Toby Maguire In the 1989 HBO feature, “Rodney Dangerfield: Opening Night at Rodney’s Place,” the cast included Thea Vidale and a youngster cast as “Boy #3” who at the time was billed as Tobias Maguire in his very first TV role. Thirty Years Ago What a difference 30 years can be. Back in 1993, when “Thea” aired, the ABC sitcom would on occasion snag over 20 million viewers. In comparison, NBC’s highly rated “Sunday Night Football” averaged 19.9 million viewers this past year. A Voice From the Past From 1989-1991, Vidale recorded new voiceover of the Tom and Jerry character Mammy Two-Shoes.

www.hap2it.com April 27, 2023 HAPPENINGS Page 5 Watch This Ad, Buy This Drug Drug ads on TV are almost always annoying, and frightening, too, if you listen to the mandatory disclaimers about some of the bad things that might happen if you take the drug. Presumably, the advertised drugs represent an improvement over what's already on the market, but a published study suggests otherwise. It found that less than one-third of drugs commonly advertised on TV have "high therapeutic value," offering at least moderate improvement for patients compared to existing therapies. Drug companies spent $15.9 billion from 2015 to 2021 on TV ads for products that researchers said were rated as low in therapeutic value. More Drug News, Some Good The cost of prescription medicine prices is projected to rise 8% annually over the next three years, reports STAT. But a CDC survey found that in 2021, the percentage of people living in families struggling to pay medical bills over the previous 12 months declined from 14% in 2019 to 10.8% in 2021. That translates to 10.5 million fewer people in families having problems paying medical bills than the 45.5 million in 2019. Body of Knowledge Don't admit it, but everyone farts: Roughly 500 to 1,500 milliliters of gas per day, expelled in an average of 10-20 farts. Nearly all of the gas (99%) is odorless, primarily hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and air that you've swallowed. The stinky gas is hydrogen sulfide, a byproduct of digesting foods containing sulfur. Gum and soda can make you fart more due to swallowed air and carbonation. Products that reduce flatulence work by starving the bacteria that produce odorous gas, but this is not a good idea since it can interfere with microbial gut health. The only known mammal that does not fart is the sloth. Get Me That, Stat!

Page 6 HAPPENINGS April 27, 2023 www.hap2it.com Embrace the traditions: Connecting with Europeans Iused to be put off by European sophisticates, so into their fine wine and stinky cheese and their high-falutin’ “terroir” that created it all. But now I love being a cultural bumpkin. Sure, I’m simple. I was raised thinking cheese is orange and comes in the shape of the bread. Slap it on – voilà! – cheese sandwich. Over in Europe, cheese is not orange nor the shape of the bread. In France alone you could eat a different cheese every day of the year. And it wouldn’t surprise me if people did. These people are passionate about their cheese. I love it when my favorite restaurateur in Paris, Marie-Alice, takes me shopping in the morning and shows me what’s going to be on the menu that night. She steers me into her favorite cheese shop. It’s a festival of mold. Picking up the moldiest, gooiest wad, MarieAlice takes a deep whiff, and groans ecstatically, "Oh, Rick, smell zees cheese. It smells like zee feet of angels." I’m her wide-eyed student. It’s fun to be on the receiving end of all that cultural, gastronomic, and regional pride. I see it as a learning opportunity. Thankfully, people are sophisticated about different things, and when we have the opportunity to connect, it can be good for all. While my father never knew much about cheese, he was sophisticated about pianos. He was a piano tuner in Seattle, and he imported fine pianos. Back in the late ’60s and early ’70s I’d join him on trips to Vienna. He’d take me to the Bösendorfer factory, where the world’s finest pianos were made. I remember thinking they weren’t manufactured – they were birthed. Touring the factory, which filled a former monastery, we learned the procedure for aging the wood, and why the imported felt was made from the wool of a certain kind of sheep. In former monks’ cells, the workers each proudly produced two pianos per year. The result of this lovingly labor-intensive production process: Each piano had its own personality. Bringing that Old World quality to the New World was the joy of my dad’s work. While this old-time quality is gone (such fine, handcrafted pianos are a casualty of our massproduced modern world), perhaps having witnessed it is one of the reasons I’m enthusiastic about sharing the fine points of European culture. Bösendorfers may no longer be produced with such loving care. But, thankfully, the cheese still smells like zee feet of angels. On the road you meet people you’d never meet at home – people who highlight those cultures. I meet a greater variety of interesting people in two months in Europe than I encounter in an entire year in America. At home, we surround ourselves with people like ourselves. It’s just the normal thing to do. We shop, worship, and play where people like us do the same things. One of my favorite countries is Ireland – not because of its sights, but because of its people. In Ireland, I enjoy the sensation that I’m actually understanding a foreign language. People there have the gift of gab – for them, it’s an art form. I think the Irish are such engaging conversationalists because, even if they don’t speak Gaelic (the poetic old Irish language), many think in it. More Irish speak Gaelic than many travelers realize. Often when you step into a shop, you don’t know that the locals were speaking to each other in Gaelic. They turn to you, without missing a beat, and speak in English. When you step away, they slip right back into their language. I love traveling in a Gaeltacht, as Gaelic-speaking regions are called. These are national preserves for the traditional culture – where the government decides, even at the expense of good business, that they will subsidize the continued existence of the Irish language because it’s part of their heritage. It’s very hard for me to keep my busy itinerary in a Gaeltacht because people are so charming and they’ve got all the time in the world to talk. I was deep into one conversation with an old-timer when I asked him, "Were you born here?" And he said, "No, ‘twas about five miles down the road." Later on I asked him, "Have you lived here all your life?" He winked and said, "Not yet." When I’m doing a tour, writing a guidebook, or filming a TV show, if I’m not interacting with people, it’s going to be a flat experience. Cultural bumpkin or worldly sophisticate, if you want rich travel experiences, you’ve got to connect. By Rick Steves travel The French are serious about cheese. TSA confiscates 1,508 guns at airport checkpoints in first quarter of year Officers with the Transportation Security Administration confiscated more than 1,500 guns at airport security checkpoints in the United States during the first quarter of the year, more than 93% of which were loaded. The 1,508 firearms equate to an average of 16.8 intercepted each day during the first three months of the year, the TSA said. The figures represent a 10.3% increase over the same period last year, although the number of passengers traveling through American airports also went up. "Firearms at TSA security checkpoints present an unacceptable safety and security risk to other passengers and I am deeply concerned that the majority of these firearms our TSOs catch are loaded," TSA Administrator David Pekoske said. "If you carry a firearm to the checkpoint, our TSOs will see it and there will be significant penalties, to include federal penalties and additional screening, which may prolong the security screening process. You may still travel with a firearm -- it just must be properly packed in your checked baggage and you must declare it to the airline." Despite differing gun laws from state to state, firearms are prohibited in all carry-on baggage, at TSA checkpoints, or onboard aircraft, regardless of permits or permission. Rules and regulations haven't stopped Americans from attempting to bring firearms through the checkpoints. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the TSA intercepted a record number of firearms. Officers caught 4,432 firearms in carry-on bags or being carried by passengers at checkpoints in 2019. That figure was surpassed in 2021 with 5,972 firearms seized, and again last year. Officers confiscated 6,542 firearms at 262 airports last year.

www.hap2it.com April 27, 2023 HAPPENINGS Page 11 The world was experiencing an unprecedented pandemic when rock 'n' roll great Little Richard died at age 87 in May 2020. Amid lockdowns that left people isolated in their homes, producer-director Lisa Cortés wondered why no one had done a biopic or documentary on him. Little Richard, the beloved public figure and TV staple, continued to perform well into his 70s. He was Black and gay at a time when that could mean career ruin. Cortés won an Emmy as a producer for The Apollo, a 2019 HBO documentary about the storied Harlem theater. And she executive produced the Oscarwinning film Precious. Her documentary, Little Richard: I Am Everything, had a limited theatrical release this month and is now available to rent on video-on-demand services like Amazon, Apple, YouTube and others. Cortés places him in his rightful context as a rock 'n' roll pioneer who influenced The Beatles, Bob Dylan, James Brown and Prince, among others. His big hits, "Tutti Frutti" "Good Golly, Miss Molly" and "Long Tall Sally," were coopted and recorded by White artists in the '50s in which his songwriting was present, but his soul was not. In the documentary, Richard laments that he was paid less for his songs than the mainstream acts who re-recorded them. "When he passed away in May of 2020, it was a crazy time for all of us," Cortés said in a recent Zoom interview. "We were in lockdown, and I started hearing his music all over. Such joy, such exuberance, coupled with testimonials from a broad range of people -- Bob Dylan, Dave Grohl from the FooFighters, Elton John. "I'm like, 'Wait a minute, here's this great music. Here's all these people. He's rock 'n' roll.' That just was so compelling when I realized there had not been a feature-length documentary." Born Richard Wayne Penniman in Macon, Ga., in 1932, Little Richard emerged from the South after leaving the family home as a teenager when his religious father refused to accept his sexuality. He found mentors in the Black gay scene of the time that has largely been forgotten and honed his musical talents on the so-called "chitlin' circuit." Cortés uses a combination of contemporary queer scholars, musicians and artists like Billy Porter, John Waters and Mick Jagger to share their views on Richard's life through the intersections of race, culture and queerness to tell a more complete story about the multifaceted star. "I got to explore the multitudes that he contained as a child of the South, as a queer person, as a musician whose contributions were appropriated, obliterated, as someone who, by his very being in declaration of self, was transgressive and changed culture." This includes gospel artist Sister Rosetta Sharpe, now also considered a rock 'n' roll pioneer. While performing in Macon, she gave Richard his first paying job after hearing him sing as a teen when he was working at the Macon City Auditorium. He was also mentored by Billy Wright, an openly gay singer in the '50s who inspired Richard to wear a pompadour hairstyle, pancake makeup and his signature pencil-thin mustache. Richard's grandiosity helped keep him relevant, but obscured some of the more significant parts of his six-decade-plus career. He's been inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 1993, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He is credited with helping integrate concert audiences as Black and White teens flocked to his shows. His musicianship, songwriting and kinetic stage presence directly influenced the burgeoning genre of rock 'n' roll. In a pivotal moment in the documentary, viewers see the young Beatles pictured with Richard front and center, as he was one of the biggest superstars in music at the time. "It's a picture that speaks a thousand words because we know who the Beatles are going to become," Cortés said. "We know that Little Richard introduces them to a teenage Billy Preston, who later on is going to be called the fifth Beatle. And we're like, whoa. "Little Richard is part of music history and the inspiration to many artists. Jimi Hendrix is playing in his band. James Brown is brought to Macon, Ga., to record his first hit because of Little Richard. He's a conductor on this little rock 'n' roll train." Despite his public-facing irreverence, Richard struggled with his sexuality, the documentary shows. Though he was once open enough to write "Tutti Frutti" as a celebration of gay sex -- we learn the more explicit version was changed by a collaborator for a more mainstream audience -- after surviving a rough flight returning from a show in Australia. Richard decided his life was spared by angels who weren't happy with his lifestyle. He renounced his music career and his sexuality, enrolling in the Christian Oakwood College (now Oakwood University) and getting married. Though he was a serious student by all accounts, his attempt at his gay conversion didn't last. As shown in the documentary, he returned to the stage for a series of shows in the United Kingdom that were so electric, the attendees vandalized the arena out of sheer excitement. Cortés said the documentary is relevant to the continuing struggles of artists today. A line can be drawn from Richard to Prince to Lil Nas X to any artist viewed as transgressive while making their cultural mark. As a Black director, Cortés said she wanted to frame Richard's life with that in mind. "It always comes down to who tells the story and what is your connection to community. I was very intentional with these incredible Black and queer scholars to reflect on who Richard was and his cultural context," she said. "This history is in keeping with conversations that we are having right now. It is in keeping with the criminalization of drag artists. It is in keeping with people who want to diminish the telling of African American history for AP classes. "It is a part of my joy as a Black filmmaker to make certain that our stories are centered with love, with rigorous interrogation, but are centered in the knowledge of the value of Black cultural product." By Tanya Pendelton 'Little Richard: I Am Everything' director Lisa Cortés shows new side of rock icon Little Richard's life and career are explored in the new documentary "I Am Everything."

Page 18 HAPPENINGS April 27, 2023 www.hap2it.com More older Americans cutting back on prescription drugs A new study finds that Americans over 50 are interested in cutting back on prescription medications, dovetailing with a movement toward "deprescribing." About 67% said they would seek their doctor's advice before dropping a pill, according to Michigan Medicine's National Poll on Healthy Aging. About 82% of people between 50 and 80 years of age take at least one prescription medicine regularly, the poll found. About 28% think they take too many medicines. More than half of respondents take three or more prescription medications. "While we found that over 90% of older adults who take at least one prescription medicine expect their provider to review their list of medicines at least annually, research has shown this is often not the case," Vordenberg said in a university news release. "This drives home the importance of comprehensive medication reviews, which can often be billed to insurance by clinics and pharmacies as a separate patient encounter." Reasons for deprescribing or reducing a medication include resolution of a temporary health condition; potential problems with other medicines; or the overall benefits and risks of taking it have changed. The poll also found that people who had a health problem or disability that limits their usual activities and those in fair or poor physical or mental health were nearly twice as likely to say they had stopped taking a medication in the past two years compared to those in better health. "Adults ages 65 and older take 4.6 medications per month on average," said Susan Reinhard, senior vice president at the AARP Public Policy Institute. LeBron James reflects on high school team in 'Shooting Stars' Peacock released the teaser for the original film Shooting Stars. The film premieres June 2 on the streaming service.

A new coach (Dermot Mulroney) molds James and his friends Lil Dru (Caleb McLaughlin), Willie McGee (Avery S. Wills) and Sian Cotton (Khalil Everage) into a team with fifth teammate Romeo Travis (Sterling "Scoot" Henderson). Moose wanders into Alaska movie theater, eats popcorn Workers at an Alaska movie theater captured photos and videos when a moose wandered into the building to feast on popcorn. One employee recorded video of the moose entering the building and can be heard in the footage calling for manager Ricky Black, who said he was working upstairs at the time. "She was behind the counter. She wasn't in immediate danger from the moose," Black told the Alaska Daily News of the employee. "And she's like, 'Stop laughing. This is serious.'" Employees shouted at the moose and banged on walls until it left with the box still over its snout. Nick Fowler, a wildlife biologist, said moose typically eat a diet of twigs, leaves and other plant materials. "I do not know if popcorn is good for a moose or not. However, I can confidently say that it's not in its natural diet," Fowler said. Woman wins $500,000 from birthday present lottery ticket A Kentucky man bought his wife $100 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets as a birthday present and she ended up winning a $500,000 top prize from one of them. The Louisville man told Kentucky Lottery officials he bought a stack of scratch-off tickets. "It's hard to buy for somebody who has everything, so I thought, I'll give her $100 in scratch-offs," the man told lottery officials. The man placed the tickets in a birthday card and presented it to his wife, who was shocked to discover a $20 Wild Numbers 100X ticket was a $500,000 winner. "She comes walking in the living room and she says, 'Please tell me you didn't give me a joke card.' I said, 'What?' She said it again and I said, 'Babe, I don't joke about money,'" the man recalled. "She says, 'I need you to look at this.' She showed it to me. I was stunned. I looked at it again and I said, 'Yeah, this is unbelievable.'" The man visited lottery headquarters to collect the prize on his wife's behalf. LA man charged with practicing medicine on thousands of patients without a license A Los Angeles man has been charged with practicing medicine on thousands of people, including cancer patients, over several years while pretending to be a doctor. Stephan Gevorkian, 44, of Studio City, owns and operates out of North Hollywood's Pathways Medical where services such as blood tests are conducted and where patients, including those suffering from cancer, viral infections and other serious conditions, receive medical advice and treatment. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement that Gevorkian faces five felony counts of practicing medicine without a certification. The charges come after an undercover investigator sat for a consultation with the suspect on Nov. 17. The district attorney said Gevorkian failed to accurately address abnormal levels of hormones that could indicate a serious medical condition. coast to coast Prosecution critical of Scientology as actor's retrial on rape allegations begins The retrial of Danny Masterson began Monday with former Scientologist Leah Remini in attendance and the prosecution painting a dark picture of the actor's alleged crimes. Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller described how the prosecution says Masterson drugged and "forcibly raped" three women, and how the Church of Scientology protected him. Mueller said this kind of incident was "normal" for at least one victim who for several years dated Masterson, who is perhaps best known for his role in the TV sitcom That '70s Show. The women, named Jane Does in court proceedings, are former members of the church. "I am attending opening arguments in the rape trial of celebrity Scientologist Danny Masterson today," Remini tweeted. "The women who Danny raped deserve justice for what they've been put through, not only by Danny but by Scientology which has tried to destroy them for reporting their rapes." Remini is famously a former member of the Church of Scientology. Since leaving the church, she has been among its most vocal and notable critics. Mueller reportedly explained that some of Masterson's alleged victims reported his abuse to the church, only to be told it was their fault and they must "give [Masterson] sex when he wants it." Under church rules, members of Scientology are forbidden from reporting another member to law enforcement, The 47-year-old actor faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Top Gun: Maverick source:amazon.com - may include pre-orders Dolph Lundgren said his latest action movie, The Best Man, now availalbe on video on demand, allowed him to show a lighter side. Lundgren, 65, plays Anders, a Special Ops squad leader attending his teammate's (Luke Wilson) wedding when mercenaries hold the wedding party hostage. "My characters' a bit of a drunk," Lundgren said in a recent Zoom interview. "It's not a totally dead serious role. It's a bit of a lighthearted role, so I tried to have fun with it." "There is a deep heart to my and Luke Wilson's relationship," Lundgren said. "It's never really mentioned what it was, but obviously something within the military and probably involved losing a bunch of buddies." Lundgen said Wilson added humor to their scenes, too. When Anders shows up at the wedding, Lundgren said, Wilson improvises dialogue about his appearance. "He came in with his big improv like, 'Well, there's a big blonde guy sitting at the bar," Lundgren said. "He kind of cracked me up. Sometimes, like in life, you deal with the hardest situations using humor, especially in the military." Lundgren also will return in this year's sequels The Expendables 4 and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The actor still hopes to make a spinoff of his Rocky character, but has rejected one unsatisfactory script for Drago. "There was a script that nobody really liked," Lundgren said. "I didn't like it." Creed II showed Ivan Drago (Lundgren) and his son, Viktor (Florian Munteanu), returning to the Ukraine after an unsuccessful attempt to rehabilitate their boxing careers. Viktor appeared in Creed III, helping Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) train. Lundgren said he is interested in a story that explores the Dragos fleeing the Ukraine because of the current war with Russia. He said the producers are trying to hire a new writer, and Lundgren hopes he might be able to film Drago next year. "That's where the movie should open," Lundgren said. "These characters are now coming to America for obvious reasons, trying to escape a war." Lundgren also got to see a different side of Ivan Drago when Sylvester Stallone released a director's cut of Rocky IV, the character's debut, in 2021. Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago used alternate takes from the 1985 sequel and made Drago more of a human political pawn of Russia than a cold boxing machine. "It was more of an indie version of the original movie," Lundgren said of the Rocky IV director's cut. "[Stallone] just did something a little more personal, a little more along the lines of the first Rocky, where the characters are slightly more dimensional." The Expendables is another franchise in which Stallone invited Lundgren to participate. In the films, Barney Ross (Stallone) leads a team of mercenaries played by action movie legends past and present. Lundgren has appeared in all four Expendables. Lundgren said he shares scenes with new addition 50 Cent in the fourth film. Aquaman cast Lundgren as King Nereus, the leader of the underwater kingdom of Xebel. Warner Bros. has not revealed the plot of the Aquaman sequel, but Lundgren said the new quest covers more territory than the first film. "It's like a treasure hunt," Lundgren said. "They need something to save the planet, of course." The Expendables 4 opens Sept. 22. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom opens Dec. 20. Dolph Lundgren Brandon Sklenar

This is a whole new art form," The Edge said. "This is lightyears ahead of anything else out there. We think this is a quantum leap for the sensory impacts of a rock 'n' roll concert. It's immersive cinema that is so believable you can travel to another space and time, even another planet," he added. "And it's an incredible digital arts canvas for the world of U2 live concerts.

Page 24 HAPPENINGS April 27, 2023 www.hap2it.com April 27, 2023 through May 3, 2023 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You could reach your goals by displaying unwavering devotion to your cause. Validate yourself; you might not receive the personal glory you hope for if you are one small part of a large team. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Purpose can satisfy more than pleasure. Plant a tree or find other ways to support Mother Earth. Connect with some idealistic friends or immerse yourself in passionate environmental or humanitarian efforts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s easier to get along with people if you go along with their ideas, but that may not be the best strategy long term. A slip of the tongue or brief misunderstanding could be forgiven with a quick apology. Give someone the benefit of the doubt. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When you handle hot stuff, it can be a good idea to use hot pads. Your enthusiasm could irritate someone who thinks you are being pushy. Do not hesitate to spend a few extra dollars if you want to obtain the best quality. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hang a flag or root for the home team. You can share in the rewards when there is a team effort. You could make social headway by agreeing to a compromise, by making an apology, or by politely ignoring a difference of opinion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do not be shy about sharing your thoughts but at the same time be receptive to the opinions of others. Be tolerant when someone makes impulsive decisions so you can keep the lines of communication wide open. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):You could have the imagination to turn an idea into something profitable. Join forces with other people to achieve your personal ambitions. Look for the perfect opening to ask for favors or request preferential treatment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There may be an opportunity to find common ground and form relationships with people who share your interests and ideals. If a close relationship has undergone a rift, today might be a suitable time to knit things back in place. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This could be the best day to try to kiss and make up. Family spats can quickly be forgotten if you exercise some diplomacy. Address the needs of other people before your own and everything will be fine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make field goals in your business and financial affairs or score points by profitably using astute observations. You can power through problems but should be cautious about new and unproven investments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Count on a generous partner who can make your life brighter. Because you might be busy with your obligations, you may develop a blind spot. Double check your receipts and credit card statements. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can be comfortable and demonstrate good taste without spending too much cash. Avoid impulse purchases just to show off or to be in lockstep with current trends. Purchase the best your money can buy.

Feeling like I wanted more ... Everything was about deprivation. Everything was about deprivation, or feeling like I couldn't do it or I didn't deserve it.” EGOT winner Viola Davis says she was struggling to embrace being the guest of honor on the red carpet ahead of receiving the 48th Chaplin Award from Film last week. "The last three and a half years, I've had sort of a rocky time and people said, 'I haven't heard from you, are you still touring?' Here's really what happened. Three and half years ago I was in the middle of a tour and I finally ended it with a show and I said, 'You know I'm at the top of my game, after 50 years almost I'm going to call it quits.’” 75-year-old actor and comedian Richard Lewis says he’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but had made the decision to retire from stand up comedy prior to his health challenges. Lewis said he will focus on writing and acting and recently shot an episode of the HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm which stars longtime friend Larry David. “Everything I own smells like champagne, beer and grass.” Actor Ryan Reynolds posts to Instagram after celebrating an important win for the Wrexham FC soccer club last weekend. The team, the third oldest soccer team in the world, was purchased by Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2021 and advanced to the professional ranks with their recent win for the first time in 15 years. Their purchase was documented in the FX series Welcome to Wrexham, which detailed the club’s transformation under the new ownership. “I've had to deal with the ups and downs of [weight and body image] my whole life, and definitely the road makes it harder to find good food and find time to exercise and all of that. It took me a minute to adjust all of that. It was the fans who helped me with that, because girls would come up to me and be like, ‘Thanks for just being normalsized and confident in who you are, no matter what size you are.’ And that always saved me for my own self when I would get doubtful or worried about it. I feel so thankful that we could lift each other up in that way. I think that's part of the reason I have the career I have.” While promoting her upcoming cookbook-as-memoir, which singer said her grueling touring schedule made “those first couple of years not very healthy”?
