For decades, Martin Short made us laugh until we cried. And it turns out the funny man has spent a lot of his life crying between the jokes due to the premature deaths of his parents, wife, Nancy Dolman, and recently his daughter, Katherine, and long-time friend, Catherine O’Hara.
Marty, Life is Short, will tackle how those losses have affected him. Lawrence Kasdan directs the definitive documentary on beloved comedian Martin Short. Using beautiful, intimate, never-before-seen archive footage alongside exclusive interviews with some of the most established and beloved stars, including Steve Martin, the documentary takes a look at one of the most influential comedians of a generation.
Two weeks ago, Zayn Malik spent the release week of his new album in the hospital battling a mystery illness, and now, he is home recuperating.
Today, he posted on social media that he is cancelling some of his concerts, which include all of the ones he was expected to play in the United States of America.
He wrote, “To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health. I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before.
“I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour. I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z”
I could be wrong, but I don’t believe the cancellation has anything to do with his health. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was due to low ticket sales.
Why do I say that? It is because he is playing dates before and after what was supposed to be the July 19th start of the US part of tour.
This is not the first time he has cancelled dates in the United States. He also did it after the sudden death of his One Direction co-singer, Liam Payne.
LeVar Burton was a guest on The View yesterday, and there was a guest in the audience whose voice will forever be etched into his memory.
Tina Fabrique, who sang the Reading Rainbow theme song, was there to see her old friend. And he was not the only one who was happy to see her. The people sitting beside her were also thrilled because she sang the tune that Millennials grew up listening to and will know every word until the day that they go to the Reading Rainbow.
I am sure this sounded so much more powerful in person, but even with the poor quality, it was still enough to give me chills from the first note!
The United States Post Office and Mattel teamed up to create ten stamps in honor of Barbie and her careers.
Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, went through over 250 of her professions to pick her Top 10. To capture her spirit of fun, he chose bright, energetic shades.
The forever stamps will be released on July 11, during the 2026 National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention in Austin, TX.
I rarely use stamps, but I am going to buy a book of these. I just wish they dedicated one to Ken.
