Jussie Smollett suspended from ‘Empire’ after prosecutors said he faked attack to boost salary www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2019/02/22/jussie-smollett-empire-fox-statement-staged-attack-career/2949135002/"The show is currently in production on the 17th of the fifth season's 18 episodes"....this sentence is in the above article so this means Jussie was making $1,800,000.00 a year. Just still does not make sense to me that Jussie felt he was underpaid. Again, I do not know of him or his talent but geez that seems like allot of money to me. And now his career is all but washed up. Not to mention looking at attorney's fees the likes of MG who will represent him as Jussie still thinks he is innocent of all this. Will he still be able to afford the lifestyle that comes with that salary?

It is a lot of money to most people. But in comparison to stars of hit tv shows, including his own costars, it’s less. Everyone doesn’t evaluate salary needs on what is needed to survive. It’s quite normal to look at what others doing similar work make, and expect that.

Pardon me if I'm not going to feel sorry for someone who launches a hoax to try to make more money for drugs.

Quite frankly. It's really hard to believe anything he says.

Which is why I said I can't with this story anymore. I can't trust no one involved and especially not CPD. So I think it's best to move on and pray the truth wins out..

I have to let go of the Jussie story because it drains my energy and gives me a headache. I hope the truth comes out and justice is achieved, whatever the truth is. I kind of miss less-serious celebrity gossip, but I still don't like the Kardashians and don't want to pay attention to them.

I read that it's possible that his role on Empire might be played by a different actor. Preferably an honest one.

I know. 52 seems SO young. Especially if it really was a massive stroke. I have a cousin who just had a TIA/mini stroke and she's in her mid-30's and they don't expect it to have any lasting effects. That doesn't sound like what we're talking about with LP. I hope it's not as serious as it sounds.

Luke Perry was IT for me when I was a kid watching Beverly Hills 90210. 20 years later I met him in an airport randomly while walking into the men's bathroom on accident. Beyond embarrassing but he was so kind and funny. I hope he makes a full recovery. Very sad.

OMG, I hope he gets better. I tend to believe TMZ, they may be trash but they tend to be right most of the time.

I just read this too. I hope he will be able to make a full recovery. "Massive" scares me though. My mom had a TIA in 2017 & couldn't form words for a few seconds (she was at lunch with a group of ladies, thank GOD she wasn't alone & that it wasn't a full on stroke) I know several people who have had life changing disabilities from massive strokes, & what they've managed to relearn was a long road, & of course, they're not even close to the same as they were prior. I hope he will be OK.

I saw that 90210 was being rebooted this summer with the original cast playing themselves as older people. All the cast except Luke and Shannon were listed as being a part of the project. Of course, Luke was doing well on RIVERDALE and Shannon is recovering from cancer.
Of course now, it is sad news for Luke at ony 52.

I am so worried for Luke Perry. I hope that it ends up not being severe as initially reported.

This is so scary. My mom is recovering right now from two mild strokes. She regains more movement every day, and will be in rehab for awhile. The brain is an amazing & mysterious organ. Praying for Mr. Perry’s successful recovery.

They have video at the link. S.F. GIANTS CEO LARRY BAER PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH WIFE"1:47 PM PT -- Baer spoke with the San Francisco Chronicle about the incident ... saying, "My wife and I had an unfortunate public argument related to a family member & she had an injured foot and she fell off her chair in the course of the argument." "The matter is resolved. It was a squabble over a cell phone. Obviously it’s embarrassing.” San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer was involved in a physical altercation with his wife at a public park Friday ... with his wife screaming as he knocks her to the ground -- and it was all captured on video. Multiple people witnessed Baer and his wife, Pam, in a loud verbal argument around noon on Friday at a park in San Fran. At one point, Larry was trying to pry a cell phone out of Pam's hands, which she clearly did not want to give up. During the struggle, Larry knocks Pam out of her chair and onto the ground -- you can hear her screaming, "Oh my god. Help!" You can see Baer walking away from the altercation with the phone in his hand -- while telling his wife, "Stop. Pam, stop." Pam continues to repeat, "Oh my god. Oh my god." In between video clips, the person who shot the footage tells us he got involved and helped break up the altercation. Another witness corroborated that. Witnesses tell us police were not called to the scene. Unclear if they were contacted after the altercation. We're reaching out. We spoke with Pam on the phone who told us, "We were having a family fight about someone in my family and that's it." We've also reached out to Baer's camp for comment. So far, no word back. Baer has been involved with the Giants organization for decades. He was named chief operating officer in May 1996, team president in October 2008 and CEO on January 1, 2012. According to the Giants website, Baer and Pam co-chaired the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation Campaign Committee in support of the new hospital, which opened in 2016 as Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. The couple has 4 children together. Originally published -- 03/01/19 1:03 PM PST."

Sad news about Alex Trebek. I was privileged to meet him in the late 1980s when I appeared on Jeopardy. He personifies class, and I wish him well in his fight.
