Tony Goldwyn Talks Plans for Upcoming 60th Birthday: ‘Hopefully We Won’t Be Doing It Over Zoom’

Tony Goldwyn has used his time at home to be part of a handful of virtual events, like a Scandal anniversary Instagram celebration with costar Kerry Washington, an Earth Day town hall with World War Zero, and a conversation about unemployment put on by Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. And on Friday, the actor, 59, will host Americares’ COVID Is No Joke comedy benefit featuring appearances by Elizabeth Banks, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Mindy Kaling, Patton Oswalt and more.

“The idea that I’ll be the one threading the needle with Will Ferrell, Jack Black and Elizabeth Banks and a lot of people I know, it’s such a fun thing,” the Scandal star tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “And for me personally not being a comedian, that’s really thrilling for me.”

Goldwyn, an Americares board member and longtime supporter, feels pretty comfortable with the video conferencing technology at this point.

“The first one I did two weeks ago or something, I was very disoriented by it frankly,” the father of two admits. “But I’ve done a couple more since then and I think I am getting the hang of it. It’s amazing how quickly one can get used to new formats when you need to.”

So for Friday’s live charity event benefiting coronavirus relief efforts, he says, “We’ll see how it goes.”

Goldwyn’s also gotten used to a new routine. “Routine has become key because I realize otherwise my hair is never combed and I never wear pants,” he jokes. “But I’ve been doing a lot of cooking, I’m getting really precious time with my wife and one of my daughters, who’s home from grad school — my other one lives on the other coast — so we just have family time that we don’t get. That’s just a real silver lining to this whole thing.”

Before the world slowed down due to the coronavirus outbreak, Goldwyn planned to celebrate turning 60 on May 20 with one of his daughters, who also has a milestone birthday coming up next month.

“One of my daughters is turning 30 in May and I’m turning 60, so we were going to have a joint party,” Goldwyn says. “Hopefully we won’t still be doing it over Zoom, but if that’s what it is, that’s the least of our problems. We’ll figure something out.”

Goldwyn doesn’t need a real-life party to stay in touch with friends like his former Scandal costars, who he says have remained close since the ABC drama’s finale aired two years ago.

“We’re all still really good friends and stay in very close touch with one another,” the SAG nominee says. “I don’t foresee a Scandal reunion happening in terms of the show, but we’re still very much a family.”

No matter what state the world finds itself in come May 20, Goldwyn can always bake up a delicious birthday treat.

“I’ve been doing more baking than I’ve ever done, like berry cobblers,” he says. “I made a blueberry cake, which was really good. And I’m making more inventive pastas, like a lobster Pomodoro. I really like to cook, but I had sort of a repertoire of what I was comfortable with, so now that I’m cooking every meal at home, it’s been about broadening my horizons.”

COVID Is No Joke will air Friday at 8 p.m. ET on covidisnojoke.org and Americares’ YouTube channel.

Sandra Lee Transforms Pantry Staples into 6 Amazing Dishes—Get Her Easy Recipes!

Sandra Lee knows how to maximize her pantry.

The lifestyle expert, who rose to fame as the host of Food Network’s Semi-Homemade Cooking and using a clever combination of store-bought foods and fresh ingredients to create delicious, fuss-free dishes, is all about making the best use of items she has on hand. It’s a skill that’s become even more useful during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as millions of Americans are staying in and preparing meals at home—some for the very first time.

“During this time when we’re all cooking at home more and certainly watching our budgets, it’s all about being resourceful with the foods we have stocked on our shelves,” says Lee, 53, who is featured in the new issue of PEOPLE, on stands Friday.

To help novice and experienced cooks alike, she launched her new #TopShelf video series on her social channels and Today.com. “We all have those products that we forgot about on the top shelf or way back in the cabinet,” says Lee, who films the cooking videos in her L.A. kitchen. “The idea of Top Shelf may sound elevated, but it isn’t a challenge; it’s a chance to create next-level meals with what you already have and simply aren’t thinking about.”

Exclusively for PEOPLE, Lee looked into her own kitchen pantry to find four common, store-bought staples—a box of macaroni and cheese, a can of stewed tomatoes, a box of dry pancake mix, and a cup of brewed coffee—and turned them into six fast, delicious dishes.

Cook along with Lee here, and check out her Instagram for more recipe and cocktail ideas!

Macaroni Margerita
“There are so many quick dinners to make when you think outside the mac ’n’ cheese box,” says Lee. “These Top Shelf pasta recipes take less than 15 minutes from start to finish.”

Open 1 box (7.5 oz.) macaroni and cheese dinner kit; separate pasta from powdered-cheese packet. (Reserve cheese packet for biscuit recipe below.) In a pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; strain and set aside. Meanwhile strain and chop 1 can (14.5 oz.) stewed tomatoes. (Reserve canned tomato liquid for biscuit recipe below.) In a medium pan cook chopped tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat until slightly thickened and saucy, about 3 minutes. Add pasta to pan; toss to coat. Season with kosher salt and black pepper; serve immediately.

Macaroni Cacio e Pepe

Open 1 box (7.5 oz.) macaroni and cheese dinner kit; separate pasta from powdered-cheese packet. (Reserve cheese packet for biscuit recipe below.) In a pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; strain and return hot pasta to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to coat. Over medium heat, stir in 1½ cups shredded or grated parmesan cheese until cheese melts and pasta is well coated. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper; toss to combine. Taste for seasoning, and add kosher salt or more parmesan cheese and/or pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

Chocolate-Coffee Cookies
“Even if you can’t find flour at the grocery, you can still bake decadent cookies using my secret: boxed pancake mix,” says Lee.

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup softened butter and ½ cup cooled, brewed strong coffee or espresso with an electric mixer on medium until fluffy, about 3 minutes. In a separate bowl mix together 2½ cups dry pancake mix and 6 tablespoons cocoa powder. Gradually add dry mixture to coffee mixture, beating on low until just combined. Place 1 tablespoon cocoa powder in a bowl. Form dough into tablespoon-size balls. Roll balls in cocoa powder and place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pat tops to slightly flatten. Bake until just set, 12 to 15 minutes.

Maple Syrup Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup softened butter and ½ cup maple syrup with an electric mixer on medium until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in  2½ cups dry pancake mix until it forms a soft dough. Using your hands, gently roll the dough into a 1.5-inch to 2-inch log. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into ½-inch slices. (If the dough is too soft to slice, place the log in the freezer for an hour or until firm.) Place the dough slices at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (The cookies will spread and expand during baking.) Bake until set and the edges are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Delicate Cheese Biscuits
“There’s nothing better than a hot fresh-from-the-oven biscuit,” says Lee. “My shortcut recipes make amazingly flaky, delicate biscuits—and you only need two ingredients.”

Preheat oven to 450F. In a large bowl mix together 2 tablespoons (from 1 packet) powdered cheese (reserved from the macaroni and cheese dinner kit) and 2½ cups dry pancake mix. Slowly stir in 2/3 cup water until mixture is just combined; do not overmix. Drop dough by 2-tablespoon amounts on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

Tomato & Cheese Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450F. In a large bowl mix together 2 tablespoons (from 1 packet) powdered cheese (reserved from the macaroni and cheese dinner kit) and 2½ cups dry pancake mix. Slowly stir in 2/3 cup  stewed tomato juice (reserved from the can of stewed tomatoes) until mixture is just combined; do not overmix. Drop dough by 2-tablespoon amounts on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

Sandra’s Tip! “When you open your can of tomatoes, press the can lid down to drain liquid into a measuring cup. A standard 14.5 oz. can of stewed tomatoes will yield exactly 2/3 of a cup of liquid, which is exactly what you need for this recipe!”

JoJo Was Celibate for 10 Months While Recording New Album After Cheating on Ex-Boyfriend

JoJo‘s journey to self-love has been a long one.

The singer discusses her hard road to happiness (which inspired her new album Good to Know, out Friday) in this week’s issue of PEOPLE.

“I had a real issue with trusting myself, because I think from a young age, I have put my trust in other people to know what’s best for me, and a really important part of being a self-sufficient human being is knowing that you know what’s best for you,” she says. “That took a little work and going inward and trying out different things to get me in the present moment, because I was living so much in anxiety about the future and sadness over the past, personally and professionally.”

Born Joanna Levesque, JoJo rose to fame at age 13 with her smash hit “Leave (Get Out).” But the pressures of child stardom — as well as mental illness, her father’s opioid addiction and a years-long lawsuit with her former record label that nearly ended her career — became too much for her.

RELATED: JoJo Reveals Clinical Depression Diagnosis: ‘Sometimes We Just Need a Little Help’

“I’ve been going to therapy since I was 18. I had more weight on my shoulders than I could bear,” says the singer, who was diagnosed with clinical depression a decade ago. “I would talk to my therapist once a week, and now it’s kind of as needed, but it’s really nice to have that impartial and professional opinion. I’m very fortunate that I could do that.”

She has managed her mental health with therapy and by taking antidepressants for the past 10 years, as well as exercise, yoga and journaling. For a time, though, she also coped in unhealthy ways, drinking to blackouts to avoid her problems.

JoJo still drinks today. “There have been periods of time where I have consciously not drank, but I’m not sober — my relationship with alcohol is different now,” she says. “I don’t drink to escape.”

But she has had rough patches. On Good to Know, JoJo sings about a recent low point in her life when she cheated on her then-boyfriend while drunk. The experience led to an epiphany.

“I self-sabotaged because I didn’t feel worthy of a loving, lasting relationship,” JoJo says. “I didn’t love myself. I am actively practicing self-love. It’s not just something you arrive at — I need to really work at it.”

Good to Know finds JoJo in a mature place, both in sound (she’s gone from pop bops to R&B slow-burns) and lyrical content.

“The album just finds me processing and getting to a place of realizing I’ve never been alone my whole adult life. I’ve always been in a relationship with somebody, and I was delaying a really important part of becoming an adult, which is being independent,” she says.

And so, over the 10 months she recorded the new LP, JoJo stayed celibate.

“I would go out on dates, but I loved saying, ‘Okay, good night,'” says the star, who is happily single and quarantining amid the coronavirus pandemic at home in Los Angeles with her mom, Diana, and dog, Agape.

JoJo’s newfound independence appears both in the album — and on its cover art.

“I’m just learning about the chakras now, but our creativity and our sexuality is in the same place in our bodies, and it’s the energy center, and I believe that it’s represented by the color orange, which is this color I’m obsessed with right now,” she says, confirming the meaning behind her orange Good to Know cover. “I wanted to keep all of that good energy for myself and not share it with anybody else.”

While she’s in an amazing place today, JoJo says self-empowerment has taken daily practice.

“It was like a banging my head against the wall until I believed it or until I actually did it,” she says. “My therapist told me to act as if: like, if you don’t feel confident, act as if you are. You don’t feel like a bad bitch, act as if you do — and then you do.”

Home Town’s Ben and Erin Napier Say Family Will Always Come First: ‘Staying Healthy and Happy Is Our No. 1 Priority’

Ben and Erin Napier shot to fame when they least expected it with their hit series Home Town, but the HGTV stars say their family will always come first.

“When there is no show and no one cares who we are anymore, all we have left is us as a family,” says Erin, who is mom to two-year-old daughter Helen, in the latest issue of PEOPLE. “So staying healthy and happy is our numer one priority. Everything else has to come behind that.”

The pair’s series showcases them as they pursue their passion: returning Laurel, a southern Mississippi town of about 18,000, to its former glory. “After Hurricane Katrina, Laurel really hit its low point,” Erin, 34, explains. “Many people left, and our city wasn’t in a great place. Our goal was to help restore the town.”

In addition to finding and renovating homes for families, the Napiers also teamed up with four of their best friends and opened their first retail store, Laurel Mercantile Co., in 2016. Two years later they opened their popular General Store, which houses the Scotsman Co. Woodshop.

Still, their success seems surreal.

“We don’t own any kind of construction company or anything like that,” says Erin. “I just have an art degree, and I consider myself to be a decorator. Ben is a woodworker. We’re just having fun with these houses.”

While Home Town is now one of HGTV’s highest rated series, the couple is committed to staying true to who they are.

“If you never think of yourself as famous, nothing changes,” says Erin. “Making the show is a really fun job and we’re lucky. We’ve been amazed by all of it.”

Single Mom & Mail Carrier Moves Son in with Grandma to Protect Him in Case She Gets Coronavirus

After the coronavirus pandemic exploded, mail carrier Krysten Wilson realized just how valuable she is to the people along her route, particularly her isolated elderly residents.

An older gentleman who came up to me and said, ‘I really hate to ask you this. It’s so uncomfortable, but I’m not able to get out and go get toilet paper,'” says Wilson, 28, who delivers mail to some 900 stops in Canton, Georgia.

“I found some that day and wouldn’t let him pay,” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, on newsstands Friday. “You don’t realize how much your mail carrier cares and is aware of your needs.”

As Wilson tries to stay safe on the job with sanitizer, gloves and masks, this single mom of a 7-year-old son is worried about picking up the deadly virus, and made the difficult decision to move him in with her mother, who lives nearby.

“I don’t want to bring the germs back to him,” says Wilson.

While she is grateful that her son is safe, the move comes with sadness when she notices his empty bedroom filled with untouched toys. Now she communicates with her son through FaceTime or her mom’s car window when he’s brought by for a socially distant visit.

“It’s honestly like in a movie where we’re sitting there with tears in our eyes because we want to touch each other and hug each other and it’s hard,” Wilson says. “He’s very intelligent for a 7-year-old, but it’s still trying, he doesn’t understand the situation. It’s very, very difficult.”

Many of Wilson’s fellow mail carriers feel the same, as they too have also separated themselves from family members.

“I’m very grateful to have my job, but it comes with other hardships,” she says. “The people that I work with, we would love to be home with our families, but we’re out here to be there for everyone’s families.”

RHOBH: Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers Claim There Are 'People Following Us' Due to His Career

Denise Richards is opening up about her husband’s career running a holistic healing center in Malibu  — and why it at times has her concerned about their safety.

During Wednesday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Denise and her castmates — Dorit Kemsley, Erika Girardi, Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, Garcelle Beauvais and Friend of the Housewives Sutton Stracke — gathered at Kyle Richards‘ home for a dinner party.

After going around the table and playing an awkward game, when the women had to share their first impressions of one another, Kyle asked Denise’s husband Aaron Phypers to explain his profession to the group. “Denise’s husband, what Aaron does is something that’s more, I want to say cutting-edge. Even though people who know who have been around for a long time like … Yolanda Hadid … went to Aaron. And what he does is very interesting. And what you do is really amazing,” said Kyle, 51. “Can you tell us a little about that?”

Aaron, who is also an actor and wed Denise in September 2018, tried to explain his work.

“Everything you’ve been taught about how diseases process and stuff works is not true,” started Aaron, who paused before admitting, “I have to be careful.”

Speaking in a quieter tone, Denise, 49, reminded him, “We already have people following us, be careful.”

“Let me just —” said Aaron, as Denise told him, “I know, but be careful how you say all this.”

RELATED: Denise Richards Denies Having an ‘Open Marriage’ with Aaron Phypers amid Brandi Glanville Rumors

He proceeded to cautiously explain. “I have to be careful.”

“Say what?” Kyle asked. “Explain.”

“Age of 12 I was living next to the largest nuclear facility in North America. I watched everybody die of cancer. I couldn’t understand why we could split an atom with sound and cause a nuclear explosion,” claimed Aaron, 47. “If you look at an atom, there’s lots of space, right? Electron, proton, neutron, whatever. There’s a lot of space, space, it’s empty space, right? 99.9 percent is space, but it’s oscillating at a frequency that appears to be real in our reality. Does that make sense?”

“Traditional isn’t traditional,” he continued. “It’s allopathic. And allopathic, it means alternative medicine. Look it up. It’s all a measurement of the electromagnetic spectrum frequency. I break down stuff so you can all heal you — I don’t heal anybody, by the way. I remove blocks, discord, information.”

In a confessional, Lisa, 56, said that her husband, actor Harry Hamlin, “has been involved with fusion energy for 30 years. And I know a lot about it. And I am trying to wrap my brain around what Aaron is saying.”

Aaron claimed, “I ruptured my Achilles tendon. I regrew it in two months no surgery. How’s that possible?”

When Garcelle, 53, asked, “No surgery, is that what you’re saying? Without surgery?” Aaron confirmed, “zero.”

Aaron continued, “There’s cancer in every one of you right now. Cancer happens all the time.”

At that, Denise alleged that she and Aaron are being followed.

“If we end up off of Mulholland , you know why,” said Denise, referencing a popular winding road in Los Angeles.

E!’s Justin Sylvester, who was also at the party, then interjected, “I was about to say, wait, should we be talking about this? Because I feel like Big Pharma …”

“I don’t even care,” said Aaron. But Denise said, “I do.”

“Do you even feel safe?” Justin asked.

“We already have people following us,” Denise alleged, before excusing herself to the bathroom.

“I have people following me all the time,” Aaron agreed.

RELATED: Kyle Richards Explains Denise Richards’ Puzzling ‘Bravo, Bravo’ Comment on RHOBH Premiere

Garcelle, Kyle and Lisa appeared to be both shocked and intrigued, pressing Aaron about who would be following him.

“Aaron has a job where people get tremendous results and sometimes certain organizations don’t like to see those results because they make a lot of money otherwise,” Denise said in a confessional. “And there’s times we’re followed.”

In a flashback scene from three days earlier, Denise and Aaron were driving in his truck when she observed a vehicle that they had previously noticed. “There’s that weird car again,” Denise said. “I know,” Aaron replied.

Continuing his explanation at the dinner table, Aaron posed the question, “Do you want to know why cancer comes in? Because it’s protecting you of an infection your immune system did not respond to and you would have died in 12 hours. It’s your best friend that protected you from something that’s going to shoot you in the head with a bullet. That’s what cancer is. I’ll prove it all day long,” he said. “We can split an atom with sound, cause a nuclear explosion, kill people. You can’t figure out if it’s cancer?”

When Lisa asked about the “common cold,” Aaron said, “you have no idea what I really do.”

“I have an idea,” she said.

“But not really,” he told Lisa. “Come to my office.”

Upon returning from the restroom, Denise told the table, “We’re going to move on from this.”

Though Aaron continued talking about it with Kyle’s husband Mauricio Umansky — “Doesn’t matter whatever terminal disease it is,” he said — Denise tapped him and told him, “You can’t talk about this right now, anymore.”

“I don’t give a s—,” Aaron said to her.

“I give a s—,” she said. “We’re not talking about this anymore. It’s for our safety. Stop.”

Aaron told her, “You’re protected completely,” and said in Mauricio’s direction, “She’s protected.”

After Teddi, 38, helped change the topic and revealed the sex of her third child, a girl (she welcomed daughter Dove in February), Denise and Aaron said their early goodbyes to the group, because the actress was still recovering from her hernia surgery.

Last summer during a Bravo After Show interview with Lisa, Denise explained her husband’s career.

“I met Aaron at his center, where he does frequency medicine, and I was going to him to do like preventative DNA repair. He works with a lot of different people with a lot of different things. I started to see Aaron at his center. We would start talking about different things because we knew a lot of the same people and same interests and I started to develop an attraction to him,” she said.

“I’ve never dated someone where I was going to them for a professional service,” Denise said, with a laugh.

She explained that the service Aaron provides is “light and sound therapy.”

“How he described what is going on is Ella Fitzgerald sings and breaks glass, right? The frequency breaks that,” she further explained. “So frequency can also break down different things going on. It’s not cuckoo weird s—. It’s like been around for hundreds of years, holistic medicine all over the world. It’s different for every person.”

USC Will Not Issue Partial School Tuition Refunds Despite Going Online Due to the Coronavirus Crisis

Students at the University of Southern California will not receive partial refunds for the spring semester despite classes moving entirely online during the coronavirus pandemic.

Charles F. Zukoski, the school’s Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, said in an email Tuesday obtained by the Los Angeles Times that USC is providing the same level of expertise through its online classes that students would have received in person, and would not be issuing refunds to those who believe they’re not receiving the college experience they expected.

“While this is not the semester any of us envisioned, we are continuing to provide a high-quality education, ensure academic progress towards degree, and offer a robust learning environment,” Zukoski said in a message sent to the campus community.

“Whether our instructors present their classes in person or online, they bring the same expertise, depth of knowledge, and commitment to their teaching, and students continue to earn credits toward a USC degree,” the email continued.

According to the Daily Trojan, USC’s campus newspaper, the university will move forward with its second session of online summer classes beginning July 1.

USC did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Many universities around the country are figuring out ways to salvage their school year after coronavirus forced the postponement of large public gatherings around the country.

#breaking: @USC will not provide partial refunds for tuition, @uscprovost announced in a communitywide email Tuesday. The University will also hold the second session of summer classes, from July 1 to August 11, online and will announce fall plans in two months.

While moving classes online has been a viable alternative, tuition at these universities often includes fees for things students can only get in-person, like healthcare and campus services.

This week, the University of California and California State University systems found themselves at the center of lawsuits brought by students who are demanding money back for these services they can’t use anymore.

“University of California’s decision to transition to online classes and to instruct students to leave campus were responsible decisions to make, but it is unfair and unlawful for University of California to retain fees and costs and to pass the losses on to the students and/or their families,” UC Davis student Claire Brandmeyer said in a complaint filed this week in U.S. District Court in Oakland, according to The Mercury News.

“Other higher education institutions across the United States that also have switched to e-learning and have requested that students leave campus have recognized the upheaval and financial harm to students and/or their families from these decisions and have provided appropriate refunds,” the suit continued.

CSU contends the school system continued to provide service to students and that the suit “misstated facts.”

“The case against CSU asserts that students should be given refunds after CSU allegedly stopped providing services to them,” CSU spokesperson Mike Uhlenkamp said in a statement sent to PEOPLE. “The complaint misstates the facts.”

“Although classes were converted to on-line instruction after Governor Newsom issued his stay-at-home order, every CSU campus continued to fulfill its mission of providing instruction and services to its students,” the statement continued. “Campuses continue to operate, and many personal services are now provided remotely, such as counseling, advising, faculty office hours, disability student services, and even telehealth medical care.”

CSU also said the suit misrepresented its position on refunds for certain campus-based fees, and that it will provide “refunds for various categories of fees that are determined to have been unearned by the campus.”

Zukoski said USC is still working to create new programs the strengthen its online offerings, and the school is also currently researching ways to test for the virus in the circumstance students are allowed back to campus in the fall.

24 Cats Rescued in California from Hot Car, Where Temperature Reached 118 Degrees

In a Southern California city where the high temperature on Sunday reached 91 degrees, two dozen cats meowing inside a closed parked car were clearly in distress.

“The cats had no water or fresh food in the Honda Civic in which they were trapped,” according to a news release from the Inland Empire Humane Society & S.P.C.A.

Alerted by an employee of the Quality Inn Ontario Convention Center in Ontario to the feline occupants of the vehicle parked on the hotel’s lot, police called on the animal welfare agency for help.

Workers with the humane society arrived and observed at least eight cats inside “and a potent smell escaping from the car,” according to the news release. On its Facebook page, the agency described the interior as “excrement infested.”

“Temperature readings identified that the inside of the vehicle was 118 degrees and climbing with only one window cracked a total of three centimeters for air circulation,” said the news release. It added: “Humane Officers were able to get the vehicle’s passenger door open and immediately identified several more cats and only urine-saturated food available to them with no signs of drinking water.”

By the time the cats and kittens were counted from inside the trunk and main cabin of the vehicle, their number totaled 24.

All were taken to the humane society’s veterinary hospital to be re-hydrated and assessed. “Our veterinarians are committed to helping every one of these kitties regain health and strength!” the society said in a Facebook post.

The vehicle’s owner, who was identified as a guest of the hotel, but not otherwise named, surrendered the cats and was issued 24 citations for crimes against animals and animal in vehicle.

The humane society is seeking donations for the animals’ care and rehab. Many have since been made available for adoption and fostering, the society’s Social Media Manager Mansha Kaur told the Daily Bulletin.

“Please DO NOT leave animals alone in a vehicle,” it urged. “It is illegal and they can experience severe trauma and irreparable damage when temperatures reach certain levels (85 degrees outside is 119 degrees in a vehicle). Please keep the pets of our community safe and report any animals under dangerous conditions.”

PEOPLE, LeBron James and More to Honor the Class of 2020 with Primetime Special Graduate Together

Commencement ceremonies across the country have been canceled due to COVID-19, but the commitment, determination and spirits of the Class of 2020 remain high.

To recognize the more than 3 million graduating seniors nationwide — and to give them a first-of-its-kind celebration they’ll never forget — XQ Institute, The LeBron James Family Foundation and The Entertainment Industry Foundation have announced an upcoming special called Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020.

The one-hour primetime event will air simultaneously across ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC on May 16, and will also be available to stream on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Complex Networks, PEOPLE and other online platforms.

“We learned early on in our work with students and families in Akron that education is so much more than academics,” LeBron James, who will address graduates during the broadcast, said in a statement. “It’s about a shared experience, a journey we’re all on together — students, parents, educators, community members, and everyone around them.”

“With that not being possible right now, we’ve been working to find ways to help families get through this really difficult time,” James, 35, added. “These students have worked incredibly hard for this, and there’s no way we can let that go unrecognized.”

Produced by Done + Dusted and SpringHill Entertainment, Graduate Together will be curated by high school students and educators across the country with the support of the American Federation of Teachers.

In addition to the NBA star, the commercial-free broadcast will feature a collection of commencement addresses and celebrity performances by Malala Yousafzai, the Jonas Brothers, Yara Shahidi, H.E.R., Bad Bunny, Lena Waithe, Pharrell Williams, Megan Rapinoe, Ben Platt and others.

“Our country’s teachers and support personnel have been on the front lines keeping students engaged, comforted, and supported during this time of incredible upheaval. Educators want their kids to be okay,” Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, said in a statement. “And even if we are physically apart, we are eager to celebrate our students’ accomplishments alongside parents, family members, and caregivers as we try to bring this school year to a meaningful close.”

“We are grateful to all our teachers and school staff and proud to join in this effort to bring together education professionals from across the country and honor graduates as they embark on their next journey,” Weingarten continued.

The program is also planning to feature profiles of students and educators who have made a difference in their schools and communities.

To help tell these inspirational stories, the show’s producers are inviting graduates, teachers, and parents to share their achievements, real-world advice, and heartfelt thanks for a chance to be featured on the broadcast and in an upcoming issue of PEOPLE.

Those interested in nominating an outstanding senior or educator worthy of recognition — or yourself! — can visit GraduateTogether2020.com. Up to five featured graduates will be eligible to receive a $5,000 award. Entries must be received by Friday, May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

“While this won’t be the graduation experience were supposed to get, we hope we can still give them something special,” James said. “Because they deserve it.”

Graduate Together is set to air on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.

Darren Criss Admits ‘I Dragged My Feet’ to Wed Wife Mia but Loves Married Life: ‘I Am So Grateful for Her Every Day’

Darren Criss had described the happiest day in his life, his wedding, just a few days before what is likely to be one of the saddest. On April 26, Darren’s father died. He was 78.

The Glee alum, 33, announced the death in an Instagram post on Monday, writing in a statement, “Bill Criss has left the building. After many years of coping with a rare heart condition — which, true to his form, very few would have even been aware of — he finally checked out peacefully yesterday morning, surrounded by his loved ones.” Of his father, he wrote: “I’ve spent most of my life trying to be like him, wanting to see and do all the incredible things he did — and I’m so grateful he was around to see me actually pull a few off.”

One of the things Darren pulled off was a very joyous wedding. When he spoke to PEOPLE, he had just celebrated his one-year anniversary. He first met Mia Swier through mutual friends in 2006 and they began dating four years later, right around the time as he joined the cast of Glee. Last year, they got married in New Orleans.

“It’s been a year since the wedding,” Darren says. “That was one of the most incredible events of my entire life. The most magical experience. Say what you will about the construct of marriage and tradition: weddings are amazing.”

Darren and Mia (who took his last name) got married around the same time several of their friends also tied the knot. “People would tell us, ‘Oh, your wedding is going to be the most incredible night.’ And I was like, really? Because I’ve had some really good nights — and days, okay? It can’t be the most, maybe top five. But our wedding, well, it took the cake.”

RELATED: Darren Criss Opens Up About Being Biracial: ‘I’m Closer to My Identity Than I Ever Was Before’

The pair were married in a multi-day celebration in New Orleans. Darren surprised her with a concert. And she, also a musician, joined the stage. Glee castmate Lea Michele performed as well.

“It was a magical and crazy thing. If I could, I’d get married every year for the rest of my life,” he says.

The actor is settling into the idea of marriage — and business ownership. Darren and Mia own a piano bar in Hollywood, Tramp Stamp Granny’s.

“This feels right. Married. The idea of marriage was not something I gravitated to earlier in life. It’s almost painfully cliché but boys grow up slower. Girl just mature faster. This is science. I am definitely no exception. I will say this: I dragged my feet.” He laughs. “But, we were together for a long time before. By that point in our lives, it was a validation and sharing of our life and existence. In many ways, it’s not been a change at all.”

He credits his wife for much of his success.

“We have been the ultimate plus-ones out here for each other for 10 years. My dreams and ambition have always been the driving force in my life. It was the gas in my tank. It almost consumed me,” he says.

“Some people were slighted by that,” says Darren. “But Mia never was. I am so grateful for her — every day.”

Oregon Romance Novelist Allegedly Killed Husband for $1M Insurance Policy: Prosecutors

The Oregon romance novelist who is accused of killing her chef husband allegedly would have pocketed over $1.5 million in insurance money from his death, prosecutors allege.

The allegation came to light recently in court documents filed by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, who presented evidence in court yesterday that Nancy Crampton-Brophy should be denied bail. She has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge against her.

Her attorneys have argued that Crampton-Brophy, 69, who is being held without bail in the Multnomah County Detention Center, should be released and transferred to a guest house because her health is at risk because of the coronavirus, the Oregonian reports.

A hearing on the matter began yesterday.

Crampton-Brophy, a self-published romance novelist who sold Medicare and life insurance polices, is accused of killing her husband Dan Brophy, an instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute, in June of 2018.

“Dan Brophy was content in his simplistic lifestyle, but Nancy Brophy wanted something more,” states the prosecutor’s motion, which was obtained by PEOPLE. “The bottom line is Dan Brophy was worth almost $1.5 million dollars to Nancy Brophy if he was dead and he was worth a life of financial hardship if he stayed alive. Nancy Brophy planned and carried out what she believed was the perfect murder. A murder that she believed would free her from the grips of financial despair and enter a life of financial security and adventure.”

On June 2, students at the Oregon Culinary Institute found Brophy unconscious in one of the kitchens. One of the students attempted CPR but he died at the scene. Brophy was shot twice, first in the back and then once in the chest at close range. Two 9 mm shell casings were found at the scene.

According to the motion, video surveillance allegedly showed a minivan that appeared to be the same as one Crampton-Brophy drove in the area of the culinary institute between 6:39 a.m. and 7:28 a.m. Brophy arrived at the Oregon Culinary Institute at 7:20 a.m.

After the shooting, Crampton-Brophy told detectives that she and her husband bought a Glock at a gun show after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. She said they never used it and didn’t buy ammunition for the gun. However, detectives allegedly discovered that Crampton-Brophy purchased a Glock slide and barrel on eBay and put those parts on the Glock bought at the gun show.

Prosecutors allege she shot her husband and then switched the eBay slide and barrel with the original slide and barrel purchased at the gun show, “thus being able to present a new, fully intact firearm to police that would not be a match to the shell casings that she left at the crime scene,” the motion alleges.

Detectives never found the eBay slide and barrel they believe she used in the shooting.

During the investigation, detectives also discovered that Brophy was the sole beneficiary to over $1.15 million in life insurance and worker’s compensation policies. The couple also had about $312,000 in equity in their home.

“Nancy Brophy stood to collect almost $1.5 million upon Dan Brophy’s death,” the motion states.

According to the motion, associates of the couple told detectives that Crampton-Brophy “expressed an interest in selling their home and traveling the world,” but “Dan Brophy would not be easy to convince.”

Prosecutors said the couple had financial hardships over the years and appeared to live on a month-to-month budget.

RELATED: What Romance Novelist Told a Neighbor Before Surprise Arrest in Chef Husband’s Murder

“Despite a dire financial situation Nancy Brophy ensured she paid the life insurance premiums leading up to the murder,” according to the motion. “In fact, she paid over $16,000.00 in insurance premiums in 2017 while the Brophy’s fell over $6,000.00 behind in mortgage payments that same year.”

Suspect Wrote Essay: ‘How to Murder Your Husband’

Crampton-Brophy’s writing also came under question.

In November 2011, long before she was accused of murder, she explained the perfect way to kill one’s husband in a tongue-in-cheek essay on her website entitled “How to Murder Your Husband.”

In a wry tone, in which she assumes the persona of a woman who wants to murder her husband, Nancy wrote, “Divorce is expensive, and do you really want to split your possessions?”

She added, “Or if you married for money, aren’t you entitled to all of it? The drawback is the police aren’t stupid. They are looking at you first. So you have to be organized, ruthless and very clever.”

Crampton-Brophy concluded the piece by noting that “it is easier to wish people dead than to actually kill them.”

Her attorneys could not be reached for comment.

Home Town’s Ben and Erin Napier Open Up About Their Love Story: ‘He Was Like a Celebrity Crush’

Ben and Erin Napier have been together for 16 years, but the Home Town stars are still big into romance.

“Every day he’s up before me, and he writes me a letter,” Erin says in the latest issue of PEOPLE. “It’s a short one, but it’s a letter. And since I don’t do coffee, I drink Coke, he’s got one waiting.”

For Ben, going the extra mile for his wife of 11 years and business partner has always felt natural. “Erin is my dream girl,” he says. “Why would I not continue to court her and win her over every day? That’s always my goal.”

The couple, who are also parents to 2-year-old daughter Helen, say the attraction began while attending Jones County Junior College in Mississippi.

He was like a celebrity crush to me,” says Erin, who admits she admired her husband-to-be from afar. “He was the president of every club and very popular but not exclusive. I would see someone eating alone in the cafeteria, and there was Ben, pulling up a chair beside them.”

RELATED: HGTV’s Erin Napier on About Battling Mystery Illness: ‘Scar Tissue Banded My Organs Together’

The secret attraction was mutual. “I remember seeing Erin the first week of school,” says Ben. “She was walking across the student union, and she had a pixie haircut. I didn’t know what a pixie cut was at the time, but I knew I liked it.”

Still, they didn’t hit it off right away. During a chance meeting at McDonald’s, “I was so nervous talking to him I crashed and burned,” says Erin, laughing.

“We had about three more encounters like that,” she says. It wasn’t until she interviewed Ben for the school yearbook that they both knew they’d found the one. “Six days later we decided we would get married, and that was that.”

Fast forward a few years, the couple now has a toddler, a booming home reno business and a hit TV show. “We never expected this,” Erin admits.

Katy Perry Wears Orlando Bloom-Printed Onesie on GMA: 'Im Repping Him While He's Sleeping'

Katy Perry is one supportive fiancée!

On Wednesday, the pregnant singer, 35, joined Good Morning America anchors Amy Robach and Michael Strahan via video chat for a segment with fellow American Idol judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie wearing her famous Orlando Bloom-printed onesie.

“I see you like to keep your dog and your all around you on your hoodie there,” Robach joked.

“Yes, my onesie is just his face repeated,” the American Idol judge said of Bloom (who popped the question on Valentine’s Day last year). “I’m repping him while he’s sleeping in with a pillow over his head in the other room, lucky.”

RELATED: Pregnant Katy Perry Reveals Why She’s ‘Grateful’ That She’s ‘Not Giving Birth Tomorrow’

After sharing how she and her fellow judges have adjusted to working from home amid the novel coronavirus, Perry opened up about being pregnant during this unprecedented time: “Things are going very well, all things considered,” she said. “I’m just grateful for so much and taking it one day at a time.”

As for how she copes with cravings during the pandemic, Perry said it’s all about will power and perspective.

“You have to think about… it’s not just a compulsive feeling,” she explained. “It’s like, ‘Do I want to risk my life or do I need that watermelon? Can I curve that craving?”

Perry also said that her actor fiancé is with her every step of the way — literally.

“I wear sometimes to my doctor’s appointments,” she said. And on the news that she and Bloom are welcoming a baby girl, Perry quipped, “I was wondering who was going to inherit all of my absurd costumes.”

From cupcake bras and colorful hair, to a Hot Cheeto and a hamburger, the star is well-known for her quirky stage looks, but Perry made headlines when she debuted the onesie in an Instagram post on Bloom’s 40th birthday in January 2017.

Antibody Tests Are Being Touted as a Way for the U.S. to Reopen — but They May Not Be Effective

As states and cities around the U.S. look to reopen — and several partially have — health experts say that the first step is expanding testing to identify who currently has the new coronavirus, COVID-19, and how much of a population has already had the virus.

There are two types of tests, and each has a different purpose. Diagnostic testing, conducted with a nasal swab, shows who is currently contagious and should be put in isolation. And antibody testing, a blood test that can identify COVID-19 antibodies, will help to understand how many people have had the virus, even if they never showed symptoms.

Antibody testing is now being touted as the best hope for resuming normal life while the world waits for a COVID-19 vaccine, because the presence of antibodies hopefully means that a person is now immune to the virus. There are now over 150 antibody tests on the market, and doctor’s offices and private labs are offering them to Americans — at a price.

RELATED: Everything to Know About Coronavirus Testing amid Nationwide Shortages

“Testing for antibodies will allow us to determine how many individuals were exposed to the virus, how many individuals have produced antibodies to the virus and are people with antibodies protected from getting the virus again,” Dr. Joan Cangiarella, the vicechair of clinical operations in the Department of Pathology at NYU Langone Health, tells PEOPLE. “By showing who doesn’t have the antibodies it can show who still remains vulnerable to getting the virus.”

But Cangiarella and other experts warn that the available antibody tests may not be the golden ticket. On Thursday, the World Health Organization put out a brief warning that there is no evidence yet that having COVID-19 antibodies means that a person is immune from getting it again.

“Right now, we don’t understand enough what it means for a person to have antibodies,” says Cangiarella. “The presence of antibodies does not equate with immunity.”

The other issue is that the tests on the market are not fully accurate. The Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency approval to the makers of most of these tests without actually reviewing them, due to the current circumstances.

“Each of these are in various stages of emergency use authorization and haven’t been vetted by the FDA because they haven’t had the time,” Dr. Alan Wu, professor of Laboratory Science at the University of California, San Francisco and the laboratory director at San Francisco General Hospital, tells PEOPLE.

Instead, the FDA has formally approved just eight antibody tests, NBC News reported.

“It’s buyer beware for most of them,” says Wu.

Wu and his team conducted their own review of ten different antibody tests, and found that the degree of accuracy varied from 80 to 100 percent.

Many of the tests have been brought to the market too soon, says Cangiarella.

“Some have poor sensitivity, not detecting antibodies, others producing false positives, indicating that you have antibodies when you don’t.”

Wu says that people can go forward with antibody testing, and he sees it as helpful for research purposes, but that the testing needs to be “accompanied by education.”

“There can’t be a misconception of what the results are telling you, because that can be a bad outcome for the individual,” he says. “Certainly if the test is negative, that would lead one to think that they are susceptible and would need to be highly cautious of their activities moving forward. But those who are positive may have this false sense of security that they’re immune from future infections when in fact they’re not.”

“More studies need to be undertaken before we understand what having antibodies means,” adds Cangiarella.

Both Wu and Cangiarella say that if states want to pull back stay at home orders, Americans need to continue social distancing and improve testing of all kinds.

“I do think that it will be important to test more individuals so that we can detect asymptomatic positive patients, those who may be able to spread the virus unknowingly,” she says. “We also need to establish a better system of contact tracing so as to quarantine those that may have been exposed to the virus. And we need to see that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed and the numbers of admitted patients with COVID is decreasing.”

And Wu says a “better generation of an antibody test” — one that can identify the amount of antibodies a person has and how those antibodies will react with a vaccine — is necessary, and something that he and others are working on.

“Now that the curve is flattening just a little bit, we can start to devote our attention to improving what we’re doing and develop better assets,” he says.

“I am a huge fan of The Blacklist and of James Spader,” Roker, 65, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue of the show’s star. “When James would come on Today, he’d always say, ‘Would you like to do a guest spot one day?’ And I thought he was just being nice.”

Kate Hudson Says She's a Pro at Giving Herself Bikini Waxes at Home: 'I've Mastered It'

Kate Hudson considers herself an expert at at-home hair removal.

When the 41-year-old actress joined brother Oliver Hudson, 42, on Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen on Tuesday night, the siblings got hilariously candid about how they each take care of their body hair that’s down there. After Cohen, 51, said one viewer’s question was if Oliver “still waxes his junk,” the actor revealed he’s switched over to shaving.

“No I haven’t done that in a long time, but I do shave and I put a razor on it,” Oliver said. “And by the way it is not as bad as people might think. It’s clean. It’s pretty. It’s good.”

Then Kate raised her hand and decided to divulge her own grooming habits. “I wax myself! I can wax myself. I’ve mastered it,” the star said.

Cohen asked, “Do you enjoy the process?” Kate replied saying: “It’s not about enjoying it. I enjoy the aftermath of it!”

The actress also opened up about her relationship with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa amid the coronavirus pandemic during the at-home edition of Cohen’s nighttime talk show.

When Cohen asked if quarantining with Fujikawa has been a good thing for her sex life, Kate was quick to chuckle, “yes,” as she took a sip of white wine.

“I think it’s even more than that,” she continued. “I think it’s positive for knowing that I’m with the right person.”

Kate went on to gush, “There’s nobody else I’d want to be quarantined with right now. He’s just the best.”

The actress, who graced this year’s cover of PEOPLE’s Beautiful Issue along with mom Goldie Hawn, 74, and Kate’s 18-month-old daughter Rani Rose, explained to PEOPLE how there’s pretty much no topic that’s ever been off-limits between the mom-daughter duo.

“What did you teach me about sex? There are so many things,” Kate said, looking at her mom. “We talk a lot about sex. Surprisingly.”

Goldie recalled being in the car when her daughter was young: “I said, ‘I want you to understand something about Mommy. I’m not a prude. I love sex.’”

“Oh, that’s right,” Kate replied. “And then she said, ‘Sex is so much fun. But it’s better when it’s with one person.’ And that was a good lesson.”

Darren Criss Opens Up About Being Biracial: ‘I’m Closer to My Identity Than I Ever Was Before'

Just a few days after speaking to PEOPLE exclusively, Darren Criss’ father died.

The Glee alum, 33, announced the death in an Instagram post on Monday, writing in a statement, “Bill Criss has left the building. After many years of coping with a rare heart condition — which, true to his form, very few would have even been aware of — he finally checked out peacefully yesterday morning, surrounded by his loved ones.” Of his father, he wrote: “I’ve spent most of my life trying to be like him, wanting to see and do all the incredible things he did — and I’m so grateful he was around to see me actually pull a few off.”

Criss grew up in San Francisco. His father worked in finance and his mom, Cerina, was a stay-at-home mother.

“Growing up there,” Criss, 33, told PEOPLE last week, “in such a metropolitan place, it was quite charmed.”

For more from Darren Criss, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Before his father’s passing, Criss spoke about his 10-year anniversary working in Hollywood — he joined the cast of Glee in 2010 — and the recent one-year anniversary of his marriage to his wife Mia, a television producer he began dating shortly after he arrived in Los Angeles.

But, more than anything else, Criss wanted to talk about his understanding of what his heritage means to him. Criss plays a director in Netflix’s Hollywood, which reimagines the golden era of movie making as a far more accepting place for Asian, African American, and gay actors.

“Everybody relates to adversity. Everybody wants to root for the underdog.” This, he says, is why he loves his job. “Performance at its core, is to have the audience see itself in a different way. Hopefully, for the better. That is sometimes lost in the category of ‘entertainment.’ ”

Hollywood takes place in the 1940s but the subject matter is very present-day for Criss. One of his first lines on the show is so simple. He says, “I’m half-Filipino.” It’s true of Criss’ character and of Criss. He knows that for much of his career, he has been seen as “conventionally Caucasian.”

“I’ve been half-Filipino my whole life.” His mother was born in Cebu City in the Philippines. “But no one ever asked about it. It’s tough, this idea of ‘white passing.’ It’s not even a term I heard of until the past two years. When people have a say in who you are — people you don’t even know — it makes you rethink what your balance is. Something you’ve had down your whole life.”

“It’s a tricky cocktail in America,” Criss says. “Anyone who is biracial can attest to this: No matter how much or how little they look like their respective mix, it’s a constant work in progress.”

“I’ve always been proud of my history, of being Filipino. Just because people don’t see it, doesn’t make it any less real to me.” But now, everyone knows.

Criss says it’s as if he “came out” as half-Filipino, when he thanked his mother from the stage at the Golden Globes. And because of that moment he says, “I’m closer to my identity than I ever was before.”

Ca. Man Arrested After Allegedly Shooting Wife in Front of 9-Year-Old Daughter

A California mother is dead after her husband allegedly fatally shot her in their home in front of their 9-year-old daughter.

Jeffery Olson, 33, remains behind bars on a $1 million bond in Madera County jail for murder charges after he allegedly confessed to shooting his wife while their two young children were home.

On April 16, Madera police responded to a requested welfare check on Olson and his family, according to a statement released by police. Upon arrival, officers found Olson standing in his front yard waiting for police, holding his three-week-old daughter, the Madera Tribune reports.

Inside, officers found Olson’s wife Maigan Olson, 35, dead of gunshot wounds.

Neighbors claimed Olson shot Maigan in front of the couple’s 9-year-old daughter, who then ran next door for help, KESN reports.

During a police interview, Olson allegedly confessed. Madera Chief of Police Dino Lawson said the couple may have gotten into an argument, the Tribune reports. In their statement, police claimed Maigan’s death was a result of domestic violence.

There had been no previous calls or reports of domestic violence from the couple, KESN and the Tribune report. Investigators also found no signs of Olson using drugs or alcohol on the scene.

“That’s what makes this so tragic and bizarre,” Lawson said.

In their statement, police encouraged anyone concerned about a domestic violence situation to speak out, even amidst the current coronavirus pandemic: “We continue to ask for prayers for those affected by this tragic incident. We’d also like to ask for witnesses of domestic violence to report those crimes to the Madera Police Department. Domestic violence can be an insidious crime that often goes unreported for years.”

Attorney information for Olson was not immediately available Wednesday. The couple’s children have been placed with extended family.

MLB Star Trey Mancini Has Stage 3 Colon Cancer: ‘It Could Happen to Anybody’

Baltimore Orioles star Trey Mancini was recently diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, and has begun six months of chemotherapy, he announced on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old baseball player announced the news in an essay published in The Players’ Tribune, and said he’d had a malignant tumor removed from his colon on March 12.

Mancini wrote that he first noticed something was wrong during spring training, when he felt himself growing tired after just a few swings during batting practice.

Routine physicals and blood work with Orioles team doctors found that he had low iron levels — and when a second blood test showed even lower levels, doctors thought he had either celiac disease or a stomach ulcer.

“Colon cancer was a remote possibility, but it was my last concern,” he wrote. “I was only 27. No way I had that. My dad had had Stage II colon cancer in 2011, but he was 58 then. We just thought I was way too young for me to have it.”

Mancini was diagnosed with cancer on March 6 after an endoscopy and colonoscopy, and underwent surgery to have the tumor removed six days later.

“I am so lucky. … Without the Orioles I never would have caught this before it may have been too late,” he wrote. “There was really no indication that anything was wrong other than me just feeling a little more tired than usual.”

The first baseman and outfielder began chemotherapy treatment on April 13, and will continue receiving treatment every two weeks for six months.

“If baseball returns in 2020, it will probably be without me,” he wrote. “But I want everybody to know that I’m OK.”

He added that dealing with cancer amid the coronavirus pandemic has been “crazy,” as he’s had to get chemo at a Baltimore hospital entirely alone due to hospital restrictions.

“Don’t get me wrong — I have bad days. I ask, ‘Why me? Why now?’ And that’s when Sara’s been really good about kicking me in the rear,” he wrote. “But she doesn’t have to do that too often, because I truly know how blessed I really am. It could happen to anybody.”

Mancini revealed that he filled his teammates in on his condition a few days before he headed for surgery and that he managed to keep his composure until a clubhouse manager held his hands and started praying, at which point he “kind of lost it.”

“Really, the support I’ve gotten from everyone has just been unbelievable,” he wrote. “It’s given me an appreciation for a lot of things that I’ve always had, but that were getting overlooked as I went about my day-to-day life. Going through something like this ha really made me understand all my blessings.”

Mancini was coming off the best year of his career, having hit .291 with 35 home runs. He signed a new contract with the Orioles in January.

Stealing Home: New Book Looks at Families Evicted when Dodger Stadium Was Built

For baseball fans, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles is more than a place to watch a game. Nestled in a ravine with a view of the San Gabriel mountains beyond the outfield, it has come to represent something mythical since its opening in 1962: An escapist paradise for the pleasures of baseball. 

That’s the mythology. The reality is a different story — one author Eric Nusbaum tells in his debut book, Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between, published by Public Affairs.

Before there was Dodger Stadium, there was a thriving, working-class, Mexican American community. In his book, Nusbaum, a former editor at VICE, focuses on the people who were displaced to make way for the stadium, and the ugly, decades-long political struggle leading to their eviction.

He tells his story through a richly-reported portrayal of the last displaced family, the Arechiga family, whose patriarch and matriarch were born in Mexico and built their house in L.A. by hand. Across three generations, the family helped settle the neighborhood and achieved a version of the American Dream: They owned multiple properties, had kids who married and had kids of their own, and helped form a robust neighborhood with churches, a school and hard-fought city services like a bus line.

But Nusbaum’s book shows how one person’s version of the American Dream often comes at the expense of another’s. In the case of the Arechigas, land that was nearly empty when they arrived became prized real estate in the following decades as L.A.’s population soared and two freeways were built nearby.

First, the land was eyed for a public housing development, and most of the Arechigas’ neighbors were forced to leave under eminent domain laws that allowed property to be seized, with paltry compensation, so long as it was for a public good. Ultimately, the housing plans were scuttled amid an upswell of anti-communist sentiment, but with much of the land cleared, then-Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley spotted an opportunity.

With Americans rapidly moving to the suburbs in the 1950s, O’Malley wanted a new stadium that would be accessible by car and include ample parking. It was becoming increasingly clear that he wouldn’t get that in Brooklyn. His Dodgers played in Ebbetts Field, which is fondly remembered but was considered run-down at the time with a fatal flaw: Wedged into Brooklyn’s streets, it had virtually no parking. 

To O’Malley, the Arechigas’ neighborhood was a nearly-blank canvas for the stadium of his dreams; he just needed them and their handful of neighbors, who had resisted their removal for the public housing plan, to leave. To the Arechigas, it was home, and the book culminates in the drama of that standoff. Ultimately, O’Malley had money on his side — and the city’s political establishment, which was eager to lure a baseball team to cement L.A.’s status as a major metropolis.

Even though the Dodgers are a private organization, the city declared the construction of a stadium for them to be a public good, therefore justifying the eviction of the Arechigas and the other remaining holdouts in the neighborhood. It was a decision that presaged today’s common practice of cities’ building sports stadiums with public financing and giving tax subsidies to teams.

So it came to pass that in 1959, on live television, the Arechigas were forcibly removed from their longtime home, which was then bulldozed in front of them. Dodger Stadium met rave reviews when it opened three years later. It remains beloved, evocative of a mid-20th century ideal of the California good life.

Nusbaum’s reporting and research are impressively deep, and his empathic writing brings his subjects to life. Stealing Home is a baseball book, but it’s only glancingly about baseball. Really, it’s about how you can’t fight city hall, how one person’s American Dream often tramples another’s and how myth-making can be used to gloss over injustice and trauma.

Colo. Man Wins 2 $1M Powerball Tickets in the Same Day While Playing Same Set of Numbers

One Colorado man has proven the odds are definitely in his favor.

“Joe B” won not one, but two, $1 million Powerball prizes on March 25 while playing the same set of numbers, the Colorado Lottery said in a press release.

The Pueblo man came to claim his prize Monday at the Lottery’s drive-thru claims office.

Joe bought a few Powerball plays in the morning at a 7-Eleven on Lake Ave., and that same night, bought some more at Loaf N’ Jug, also on Lake Ave., the release said.

He’s been playing the same numbers (5-9-27-39-42) for 30 years, according to CNN.

Joe already has big plans for how he’s going to spend his new windfall — or at least, his wife does.

“When the claims man asked what he and his wife plan to spend the money on, he said, ‘The Boss has plans for it,’” the release said. “Smart man!”

Though this is a first for the Colorado Powerball, a similar thing happened in Virginia in 2012, CNN reported.

In that instance, a woman mistakenly bought two Powerball tickets with the same number, and wound up winning two $1 million prizes, just like Joe, according to CNN.
