Ryan Reynolds found one of his daughters’ sunglasses and decided to try them on. Shockingly, they fit. Although, they do not frame his face very well. They accentuate every feature on his face. So much so, they make the hunky actor look really goofy. Actually, he really looks Goofy from Disney with then on. Don’t you agree?
Last February, David Cassidy told the world that he had Dementia, something members of his family also suffered from, and that is why he could not remember the lyrics to his songs at a concert. That diagnosis, he said was the reason why he was retiring from performing. Just 9 months after that revelation, he passed away.
In between that time he filmed a documentary, that will air on A&E Monday at 11p, and he makes a startling confession to the producer of David Cassidy: The Last Session. He told a producer that he was diagnosed with a liver disease. Not only that, the doctors believed that he did not have Dementia but instead that he was suffering from memory loss due to his alcoholism. After a hospitalization that left him near death because of alcohol poising, he was able to get his short term memory back.
The months before he died, he worked on an album that included music that was special to him and his father, Jack Cassidy. In between recording the songs, he told stories about his dad. At one point he breaks down wishing his dad was there with him. That album was released earlier this year.
The documentary is about the making of that album and the last months of his life. A tragic life, but one that touched so many people.
UPDATE: I just watched the special and there is so much more to the story of that clip that airs at the end of the show. Cassidy was afraid that he thought he had Dementia and went to get tested at the beginning of the special. They did find out he was suffering from memory loss, but they were going to have to do more tests to discover what was causing it. That was in September 2017.
He then went to Chicago to record the album and he could not go on because he was in too much pain. He says from a fall. He did not want to go to the hospital to get checked out. But when he was too sick to fly home, he went. That is when they found he out he had a liver disease and was not suffering from Dementia. Not too long after that, he passed away.
I will tell you the documentary is a must watch. This an intimate look at his life, the relationship he had with his father, his fame and his work ethic. I will admit, it is hard to watch at times because you can see what the alcohol did to his body, but he never let it stop him from doing what he loved.
Back in May, Kiefer Sutherland’s show Designated Survivor was cancelled. Over the weekend, the actor and musician was seen playing his music on the streets of Cologne, so has he hard times and trying to make a buck any way he can? Nope, he was offering up free tickets to his concert if you could find him. Therefore, if you see him singing on the streets, then you might want to find out if he something for you. That and give him a dollar. He does not need it, but it would be a nice thing to do.
Back in April, Abby Lee Miller was rushed to the hospital with severe pain. After some tests, doctors believed that she had an infection in her spine and immediately they rushed in for spinal surgery to remove it. The doctors did some more tests and determined that infection is actually a rapidly spreading cancer. Since then she has remained in the hospital and has received 3 rounds of chemo to help to beat the reported Burkitt lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Today she posted another update with the above photo and said, “After another 2 hour MRI this morning, the pros thought I needed one more quick little emergency surgery! Ugh! I’m in recovery now and texting so everything must be ok, just hiccups in my plans!” Then she added, “I’m on a tight schedule; shooting two projects and I need to get out of here and on with my life!!! Please keep me in your prayers🙏🏻 I’m grateful for all the well wishes!”
She did not say what the two projects are that she is working on. Last rumor I heard is that Dance Moms with just the minis was off. Maybe it is back on? Maybe she is working on a series about her life after federal prison. According to her, she finished her sentence on May 25th.
She is free from the justice system, but she is not free from cancer being in her system. Because of that let’s take some time to pray for her as she tries her hardest to beat cancer and regain her health.
