Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland 1958

The following story about Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland was told by Ed Walters, who was a pit boss at the Sands:

"The weekend is over and the people have gone home. It's around 3am, the casino is dead. A fellow at 21 table with his back to the lounge says to me 'ls that who I think it is?' I tell him, 'you're right, turn around and look.' He says 'Oh my God, it's Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra' Frank and Judy are singing, they're sitting on the edge of the lounge stage. Red Norvo is playing the xylophone or whatever you call it. He was appearing with his group there in the lounge during the day. A lot of friends of Frank are there too. Interesting to me is.....

1. How sweet and gentle Frank was with Judy. She was not in a good shape. She acted like she was totally drunk or drugged. He would actually have to hold her up after each song or she would have fallen off the stage. He would do this with such caring and grace.

2. The amazing quality of their voices. Here are two people who had been up all night, very tired, very drunk, could hardly speak well AND then they start singing and you hear two clear and powerful voices, singing with such joy that it is heard throughout the entire casino. No microphones, just these two sitting there and singing their hearts out.

They sang for over 40 minutes and then everyone headed out. With Frank caring for Judy all the way.

Anyone who has been fortunate enough to witness these great moments will never forget them. It is just magic.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOANNA NEWSOM! 🥳️💖🥳️ January 18th, 1982

“If you were a world leader, what would be your first law? Gravity. I feel like we need to tighten up the constitutional protections that particular law enjoys. It’s a ticking time bomb, if you ask me. Who would be your top advisers? Cute angel on one shoulder, cute devil on the other.”

I LOVE this anecdote from Winona Ryder! You go, girl—you don’t owe anybody your autograph, leastwise an old school bully 😈

Didn’t you get beaten up in seventh grade for dressing up like Jimmy Cagney?

I was wearing an old Salvation Army–shop boy’s suit. I had a hall pass, so I went to the [girls’] bathroom. I heard people saying, “Hey, faggot.” They slammed my head into a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out, not the bullies. Years later, I went to a coffee shop in Petaluma, and I ran into one of the girls who’d kicked me, and she said, “Winona, Winona, can I have your autograph?” and I said, “Do you remember me? I went to Kenilworth. Remember how, in seventh grade, you beat up that kid?” and she said, “Kind of,” and I said, “That was me. Go f— yourself!”

How does one bond over the fact that their biological dad might have been a Jedi Knight (or at least used “The Force”)?

In a world where modern reproductive technology has created new ways for families to come together, children conceived through sperm donation often find themselves with unique and sometimes humorous stories about their origins. One particularly imaginative and entertaining scenario is bonding over the idea that their biological dad might have been a Jedi Knight—or at least someone who…

Aamir Khan’s Haircut Drama: A Response to Heartbreak

Aamir Khan, known for his perfectionism and intense dedication to his craft, has always been candid about his personal life. In a throwback to a 1999 episode of Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Aamir shared a surprising and emotional story about how he once shaved his head in response to a breakup.

A Reaction to Heartbreak

During the interview, Aamir Khan was asked if his shaved head was for his role in the 1984 film Holi directed by Ketan Mehta. He revealed that it wasn’t for the film, but rather a reaction to a personal heartbreak. “A lot of people think I shaved my head for the film, when in fact I shaved my head for some other reason altogether,” Aamir explained. He described how a girl he loved told him she no longer felt the same, prompting him to shave off his hair as a dramatic response.

Aamir reflected on this act with a sense of humor and self-awareness, calling it “a childish and immature thing to do.” He recounted how, when meeting Ketan Mehta for the film, he jokingly said, “Gone with the girl!” about his missing hair.

Acknowledging His Intense Nature

When asked about his intensity in relationships, Aamir acknowledged his passionate nature. He admitted that he respected the decision of the girl who left him, saying, “If she felt she didn’t love me or value me, it was something that I completely respect and till today I respect that decision of hers.”

A Love Letter in Blood

Aamir also shared another story about his younger days, revealing that he once wrote a love letter in blood to his then-girlfriend, Reena Dutta. This gesture didn’t go over well, and Reena was quite upset. Aamir described it as his “immature way of interpreting love” and advised young people against similar dramatic expressions of affection. “You don’t need to do that to express your love for a person,” he said.

Life and Relationships

Aamir married Reena Dutta in 1986, with whom he has two children, Junaid and Ira. The couple divorced in 2002. Aamir later married filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005, but they also parted ways in 2021.

Aamir Khan’s reflections on these past events highlight his journey from youthful impulsiveness to a more mature perspective on relationships and personal expression.

"Twinkle Khanna's Hilarious Take on Motherhood: From Rotis to Modern Parenting"

In her latest column for the Times of India, Twinkle Khanna, the renowned author and entrepreneur, delves into the profound shifts in maternal roles and responsibilities from her own upbringing to her experiences as a parent. As Mother’s Day swept across social media, Twinkle chose to reflect on the multifaceted demands placed on modern-day mothers.

Recalling the simpler duties of her mother, Dimple Kapadia, which included ensuring her and her sister Rinke’s dietary and grooming needs were met, Twinkle juxtaposes them with her own diverse roles as a contemporary mother. From playing the roles of therapist, event organizer, stylist, educator, motivational guide, to even being a nutritionist and hairdresser, the responsibilities have evolved significantly.

While Twinkle reminisces about her childhood social escapades, like chasing chickens or collecting bottle caps for contests, she contrasts them with the challenges faced by present-day mothers. Managing screen time, adhering to gentle parenting techniques, and shielding children from potential scars are just a few of the complexities modern mothers navigate.

Injecting humor into her narrative, Twinkle shares an amusing anecdote involving her husband, actor Akshay Kumar, inadvertently likening her to a cow during her early days of motherhood. His casual remark about her being “unavailable” because she was “milking” humorously symbolized her transition from a glamorous figure to a nurturing mother.

Delving deeper, Twinkle explores the myriad struggles modern mothers face. Balancing childcare, career aspirations, and personal well-being while navigating societal expectations can feel like an uphill battle. She questions whether the modern approach of shielding children from the realities of the world results in homogeneity among today’s youth, with their similar behaviors, attire, and interests.

Acknowledging the pressure to strike a delicate balance in parenting, Twinkle reflects on the perpetual sense of guilt and blame that accompanies motherhood. Whether it’s granting too much freedom or being perceived as overly controlling, the journey remains fraught with uncertainty and judgment.

Ultimately, Twinkle’s poignant exploration serves as a tribute to the resilience and adaptability of mothers through the ages, as they continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of parenthood with humor, grace, and love.
