Tom Selleck, 80, Looks Unrecognizable During Rare Outing

Originally appeared on E! Online You might need your own Magnum, P.I. to recognize this Hollywood star. After all, the show's star Tom Selleck was nearly unrecognizable while running errands around Los Angeles July 14. Instead of sporting his iconic mustache, the 80-year-old grew out his hair and was rocking a full, gray beard to match his longer, salt and pepper hair. Selleck kept it comfortable for his outing, donning black shorts, a black T-shirt and black sneakers as he hit the gym before grabbing lunch at McDonald's. The Friends star has kept a low profile since the cancellation of his hit show Blue Bloods last year, which he said disappointed him. "My frustration is the show was always taken for granted,' he told TV Insider in October, 'because it performed from the get-go.' For now, Selleck appears to be keeping his focus on himself and has embraced the way he looks at all ages in life. In fact, he's even shut down rumors that he tries to change his appearance, insisting his coloring is all natural. More from E!

'This is it, man. I've got gray hair in there. At my age, turning gray is kind of a blessing, where it softens all of the other horrible things it does to you.' Indeed, Selleck isn't interested in looking like he did when he was younger. 'I can't look the way I looked 20 years ago,' he confessed, 'and I don't want some surgeon trying to make me look like that.' And despite being known for his good looks throughout his life, Selleck can definitely appreciate that he has changed since his days as a television fixture in the 1980s. 'If I ever do an autobiography, I've got this potential title: Self-Pity at the Minibar,' he joked. 'When you're on the road a lot, as all actors are, it's very easy to conjure up the self-pity to invade that thing. But I looked OK when I was doing Magnum, P.I.'

‘Everyone's family': Deadheads flock to S.F. for Grahame Lesh's tribute concert

Thousands of Deadheads from across the country descended on San Francisco's Pier 48 in a sea of colorful tie dye to kick off the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary weekend with rock legacy act Grahame Lesh. The waterfront warehouse was transformed into what looked like the inside of a lava lamp for Lesh's first of three back-to-back the Heart of Town shows, adorned with huge psychedelic tapestries lining the walls and colorful lights flooding the space. 'It's all about dancing, the music and a culture of kindness and generosity,' 27-year-old New Jersey resident Desta Cantave told the Chronicle during the show. Her friend, 51-year-old Cincinnati resident Matthew Dayler, agreed, noting that 'the music brings us all together.' 'It doesn't matter what you do or who you are,' Dayler said. 'When we're here it's all about dancing and vibing and just enjoying the company.' From the moment Lesh and his band took the stage, the sold-out crowd was grooving. Fans of all ages threw their arms in the air and danced like no one was watching, while Lesh and his band breezed through the Bay Area jam band's hits like 'Alligator,' 'Althea' and 'Fire on the Mountain.' In the style of his late father's group Phil Lesh & Friends, the guitarist welcomed a lineup of special guests onstage throughout the performance, from Dallas musician Stephen Stills to folk rock group Dawes. There were only a few phones in the air throughout the show, which lasted nearly four hours, including a brief 30-minute intermission. Throughout the experience, fans wove through a small marketplace set up at the back of the venue, featuring local artisans selling everything from denim jumpsuits emblazoned with a bejeweled Dead logo to stickers and acid paper. Among the vendors was 35-year-old David Carr, a self-taught designer who makes coats, kimonos and other outerwear pieces using deadstock vintage fabrics for his company, Kimono Dave. 'This is one of my best sales days I've ever had in the city,' he said. 'Everyone else here is very deliberately Grateful Dead. I've never even seen the Grateful Dead once in my life.' The vendor said he usually sells at electronic dance music events and his retail space on Haight Street, but he was pleasantly surprised by the embrace of the Deadhead community. 'They clearly are very chill, intelligent, just very caring, cool people,' he said. Fans also celebrated the life of Phil Lesh, who died in October, during the event. Though Grahame didn't chat much between songs, he took a moment to speak about his father near the end of his concert. 'My dad used to tell all of you that his life was saved in 1998 because he had a liver transplant. A young man named Cody said to someone that he loved, 'If anything ever happens to me, I want to be an organ donor,'' Lesh said, urging audience members to consider becoming organ donors. 'I got an extra 25 years with my dad because of Cody.' Despite Lesh's loss lingering in the air, the festivities raged on in his memory and a strong commitment to the weekend's full lineup reverberated through the crowd, with some fans planning to attend one if not all of the upcoming Dead & Company shows, which run Friday, Aug. 1, through Sunday, Aug. 3. 'This is just a warmup,' Dayler said of the Heart of Town series, which is continuing through Friday and Saturday but starting at 11 p.m. to give fans at the Dead & Company shows time to travel from Golden Gate Park back to Pier 48. Even those who weren't able to score tickets to the Heart of Town were still eager to get in on the festivities. Dozens congregated outside the venue, with their fingers in the air to signify that they were looking for one, soaking up the atmosphere and making new friends. Noah Davidopoulos traveled from Boston to San Francisco for the Dead's anniversary weekend with no tickets and a loose plan. He didn't seem too concerned. 'The older people in the community that have been seeing the music for a while are so giving and just really want to see the younger generation chase the music,' the 18-year-old said. 'They usually help us out and get us into shows. It's really cool.' Similarly, 25-year-old Jacob Fiallos flew in from Florida without tickets to any events. 'It's just going to be a good time no matter what,' he said while standing among the throngs of fans lingering outside Pier 48 before the show. He traveled to the city with his friend Tripp Berch, 26, who said that their direct flight to SFO on Thursday morning was packed with Deadheads proudly flaunting their tie dye gear. 'I like how everyone is so open and it's so easy to talk to literally anyone,' Berch said. 'Everyone's family at first glance.'

The Best 'CoComelon' Videos to Watch With Your Toddler This Week

JJ and his friends transform into chefs to help prepare an elaborate know there is a lot of content on YouTube, and it can be hard to tell which is appropriate for your child. So, Parents' editors are picking some of the best videos every week that you can feel good about watching or listening of the most surprising and special parts of raising a toddler is how much they learn through song. My daughter sings to herself throughout the day, and always responds enthusiastically when we play music around the house. Songs have helped her learn how to count and memorize the names of colors, among other foundational skills. And as an added bonus, when she really loves a song, she asks to play it repeatedly so that we can have a no-holds-barred dance party in the living room before bed. As a parent, I love any kind of entertainment that gets her off the couch and encourages her to move her body. CoComelon songs can achieve similar goals in your home. By singing along to CoComelon tunes, kids learn basic skills from good manners to healthy eating habits. And the best part is, music makes it all entertaining, too. Every week, a new batch of songs is released on the CoComelon YouTube channel. Whether you're singing along together, or using a CoComelon song as inspiration for a game you play as a family, CoComelon will inspire your kids whether screens are on and off. Here's what to watch this week. Old MacDonald Had A Farm This classic nursery rhyme might already be familiar to your little one—kids across generations have learned the names of farm animals thanks to this song. However, CoComelon puts its own spin on it through a playful animated video. JJ finds himself managing a barn full of animals who don't want to go to sleep. So while JJ and the farmer (none other than the titular Old Macdonald) attempt to feed each animal and herd them into their stalls, the animals keep escaping. As your kid watches and sings along, they'll get to enjoy the animals' silly antics, while also learning what the animals look like, what sounds they make, and how to name them. This is the Way Sing Along Dinner Time This song combines all the best elements of kids entertainment: It's imaginative, encourages them to get creative during their own play time when screens are off, and teaches them a valuable life skill. JJ and his friends TomTom and YoYo pretend to be chefs preparing an elaborate meal in their play kitchen. They help mom and dad gather the ingredients, chop the tomatoes, cook the pasta, and even taste test the meal before sitting down to eat. I love this song because it makes kids feel like they can be helpful and have a role to play in the kitchen, boosting their confidence and self-esteem. That sense of ownership can encourage kids to take more of an interest in their food and get them more excited (instead of cranky) about sitting down for meals. It also encourages them to play make believe games. Why does that matter? Unstructured free play is good for toddlers' brain development. So once the song is over, parents can feel good about turning off YouTube and inventing a game along with their kids that gets their kids thinking, laughing, and learning. Bath Songs for Bath Time This playful bath time sing-along hits all the right notes for toddlers and their parents. The 16-minute long video is silly, sensory, and educational. In the first song, JJ wears goggles and pretends to be a fast fish, splashing around the tub. The song, called Fast Little Fishy Bath Time, ends with JJ getting tucked into bed, ready to continue his swimming adventures in his dreams. The next song teaches kids how to wash themselves, from their knees to their toes, set to the beloved Baby Shark melody. It's a pretty catchy song that preschoolers can easily remember when bath time comes. What makes the rest of the video so great is how it reframes bath time as something kids can actually look forward to. It models positive hygiene habits, like washing hair, cleaning ears, and drying off. And it turns it into a game, rather than a chore. Read the original article on Parents Solve the daily Crossword
