As a teen, the future chef got his first kitchen job washing dishes at a restaurant in Provincetown, the artsy community at the tip of the Cape. “I’d wake up, hang out on the beach until 2 o’clock and then roll into work,” remembers Tony, 60.

Her note went viral and shirts started arriving from California, Idaho, Arizona and even the U.K. and Germany.

After a pal thought to record his “absurd stories” at his accounting job, a Grammy-winning debut LP, sold-out concerts and hit sitcoms soon followed. Yet, as times changed, he always kept his act clean. “I don’t feel comfortable with shock for shock’s sake,” says Bob, whose 87th birthday was Sept. 5.

It’s palpable. I fed, washed and talked to this elephant. He only understood Thai, but he understood my energy.”That energy shows no signs of flagging.

At 86, Clint shows no signs of slowing down. “I’m always looking forward, not backward,” he says. “A lot of times people get to a certain age and they quit.

One of the ways the star of NBC’s upcoming production of Hairspray Live! (Dec. 7) stays so upbeat? She avoids artificial sweeteners like aspartame. It’s a smart strategy, says Paula Baillie-Hamilton, M.D., Ph.D., author of Toxic Overload. “The sweetener is an excitotoxin. It contains chemicals that overstimulate receptors on brain cells, causing the cells to fire impulses at such a rapid rate that they become exhausted and die.” The result? Fatigue, headaches and moods swings. What’s more, says Dr. Baillie-Hamilton, aspartame can exacerbate hot flashes and other menopausal woes. But the symptoms of aspartame toxicity…2 minCloser Weekly|September 19, 2016Whatever happened to the cast of… THE SECRETS OF ISISJoAnna CameronOh, mighty Isis!
