Sorry to hear actress CHRISTINA APPLEGATE has multiple sclerosis. She apparently was diagnosed with MS a couple of months ago. This is the latest medical issue she's had to undergo. Applegate was previously diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a bilateral mastectomy.
Did you see it? TMZ has reported that Batman's sidekick, Robin, has come out of the closet in the latest issue of “Batman: Urban Legends.” The confirmation was when Robin --in his alter ego character Tim Drake-- accepts an invitation to go on a date with a man named BERNARD DOWD — thereby confirming his LGBTQ status.
Good weather tonight in your area? Then head outdoors to see the Perseid meteor shower. According to NASA, the meteors are most visible in the pre-dawn hours and can range up to 100 streaks each hour. Astronomers usually admit they're the best meteor shower of the year.
Beyoncé has told Harper’s Bazaar she has a new album on the way. She's the cover girl on the magazine’s latest issue and says "I’ve been in the studio for a year and a half...Yes, the music is coming!"
Of course you gotta ask if somebody's taken a shower in the last couple of days... celebrities from JAKE GYLLENHAAL --who said “More and more I find bathing to be less necessary,” to MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY and CAMERON DIAZ as well as ASHTON KUTCHER and MILA KUNIS who've said “wait till you see the dirt” don't shower every day. And of course, it's a question for you to share... as well as your listeners.
Finally... (note content) a 27-year-old man in Ancona, Italy, was rushed to hospital after he shot himself in the groin with a nail gun. After getting an ultrasound, doctors were able to remove the 3/4 inch nail from his right testicle and say he'll suffer no lasting damage.
No word on what caused him to shoot himself with the pneumatic gun.
