In 2005, Bo Bice competed on American Idol, and he placed second behind Carrie Underwood.
Back then, contestants stayed in the public eye after their season ended. But as time went on, he slowly disappeared from the public eye.
Last year, he appeared on Idol to support the woman who beat him and is now a judge on the show, and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their season.
However, after that appearance, he went into hiding. Today, he explained why and also shared a photo of what he looks like now, at the age of 50!
1. Out of pain and embarrassment of my broken failing teeth due to years of Crohn’s issues, Stomach Acid eating away at my enamel and Stomach Surgeries changing my palate and septum.
2. Lost 89lbs, so I can move around like I use to on stage and feel better, sharper and stronger from the lighter weight.
3. Cut the hair from tail length to the short haired country boy look again. A lot lighter and I’m saving on shampoo & conditioner.
4. Stopped drinking caffeine. I went from 3 cups of coffee and 5 cokes a day to only water and juiced fruits, vegetables, vitamins.
5. Donated the XL/L clothes and I’m 30/30 Pants, MED Shirts again. Everything fits and looks on spot.
6. Writing and practicing more than I have in years. The faucet is in full flow again and inspiration has returned to well.
7. I’m off of all but 1 of the medication that held me captive for the past 7 years as I worked through the changes, transitions, tribulations and turmoils that come at all of us.
He is also drug and alcohol free, and feeling better than he has felt in a decade. So, he plans to have a comeback in 2027! Good luck to him.
From 1974 to 1984, Henry Winkler played The Fonz on Happy Days. So when the show ended, he wanted a memento from the set.
What did he ask to take home with him? Was it his leather jacket? Nope, that is in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. What about the motorcycle or the jukebox?
Nope! He told Sheinelle Jones and Willie Geist on Today with Jenna and Sheinelle, “When we would go make an entrance through the swinging doors of Arnold’s, there was a piece of plywood. And I would put my coffee cup down and a bottle of water down, and you would make your entrance. On that piece of wood, I would write down things.”
It would be things like the start of the season. Ron Howard had a redheaded baby girl, and then the actor had one of his own a few months later.
So after they shot the last scene, he asked if he could have it. And they said yes. He still has it. And I am sure he shows those little redheaded girls, who are still friends, that little piece of wood anytime they are both in his house.
Winkler is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. But there is something that pisses him off. What is it? The statue of Arthur Fonzarelli in Milwaukee is taller than he is. Therefore, he can’t look it in the eye. I think they need to make a new one that is actual size so he can have a staring contest with it!
A month ago, Kevin Hart took to social media to go off on his wax figure at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Tennessee because it did not look anything like him.
If he thought that was the only abuse he was going to suffer this year, he was so wrong. He just wrapped Jumanji 3, and The Rock and Jack Black had a ton of fun making fun of him.
And those two actors are not the only ones who get to do that this year. On May 10th, he is going to be roasted on Netflix by “friends” and comedians in a roast hosted by Shane Gillis.
While he is getting roasted next month, this month, he got to roast his wax figure! And he loved every second getting to watch it melt like the Wicked Witch of the West!
BTW I love that even the wax figure is taller than him!!!
When I was a kid, I used to love opening a box of Frosted Flakes or Froot Loops so I could get the toy at the bottom of the box. However, the cereal companies discontinued that joy about a decade ago.
That was then. Now, Kellogg’s is bringing the toys back for a limited time to promote the new Toy Story movie with Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie spoon figurines.
“At Kellogg’s, there’s a real sense of childhood nostalgia tied to the moments families remember most – and breakfast is a big part of that,” said Laura Newman, VP Brand Marketing at WK Kellogg Co. “Bringing toys back inside the box reintroduces that sense of discovery through a simple, screen-free moment of play that parents can now share with their own kids. Collaborating with Toy Story 5, which explores the role of toys in a tech-driven world, made this moment even more meaningful.”
The limited-edition cereal boxes will be available starting on April 26th, and Toy Story 5 comes to theaters on June 19th!
