‘The Rock' separates from his wife of 10 years
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has split with his wife of 10 years.
The 35-year-old pro wrestler-turned-action star announced his separation from wife Dany Garcia Johnson in a statement to People magazine on Friday.
“We've been fortunate enough to spend the last 17 years together as a couple and look forward to spending the rest our lives together as best friends and business partners,” the statement said. “We will continue to advance and manage our business interests, our philanthropic efforts and most importantly the raising of our child together.”
Garcia Johnson is the CEO of a wealth management firm. The pair have a 5-year-old daughter, Simone Alexander.
Rosie says memoir
will document year
Rosie O'Donnell has had “an interesting year,” she confided Sunday, and a lot of it will be in her new book, “Celebrity Detox,” coming this fall.
Speaking at a breakfast gathering at BookExpo America, the publishing industry's annual national convention, O'Donnell said her long-delayed memoir on fame will not be “vindictive” or “mean-spirited,” but will offer a candid look at her very public life, including her brief, battling stint on “The View.”
“It is, in fact, a drug,” she said of fame, and spoke of seeing peers so radically, and scarily, transformed by celebrity that they looked like victims of “crystal meth.”
O'Donnell, looking healthy but tired on a Sunday morning, noted that her book was supposed to come out a few years ago, but she decided it wasn't ready, not quite “cooked.”
Her time on “The View” convinced her she was ready to start baking again. She called the book “half blog,” half “straight” writing.
Sharpton brings hip-hop campaign to Detroit
The Rev. Al Sharpton has brought his campaign to clean up hip-hop lyrics to Motown, and organizers hope to collect thousands of bars of soap as symbols of the effort.
Sharpton and the Rev. Horace L. Sheffield III, pastor of New Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, talked about the campaign Saturday outside the Motown Historical Museum.
Sharpton said it made sense to promote the hip-hop campaign in Detroit because NAACP leaders plan to conduct a mock funeral for the “N” word during the group's July convention in the city.
“The 1960s were the Motown sound and James Brown,” Sharpton said as he stood in front of the museum, which includes the former Motown Records studio. “But they did not call us the ‘N' word and they did not degrade women.”
