Free daily horoscope, celeb gossip and lucky numbers for 25 June, 2019 - The South African Posted: 24 Jun 2019 04:01 PM PDT CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Scott Terra, Jimmie Walker, Phyllis George, Carly Simon, George Orwell, June Lockhart, George Michael, Kene Holliday. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Prickly influences may well highlight a problem that you would rather remain in the background. You could even slip into a 'glass-half-empty' mood as a result. If you regard the rather insightful and corrective vibe as a useful one, you'll realize that you are actually moving forwards not back! Want to know what the future holds?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The lingering but weakened Pluto/Mercury mix may well zone in on a sensitive matter, and while you'll be ready to act, for others the timing may not be quite right. It's not a day to initiate serious dialogue, since there's a slight tendency for minor exaggerations and distortions! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As one of the more proactive signs, you rarely need anything to get you off the metaphorical starting block. However, it's a day where you might find it difficult to feel motivated in the rather flat atmosphere. You may well have to function despite a slight obstacle! CANCER (June 21-July 22): It could be a marginally exasperating day, in that one particular matter may well keep resurfacing. Each time you think you've resolved it, it'll re-emerge again. This could be connected to fixed idea that you somehow can't shift or adjust at the moment. Do what you can! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There's a rather stodgy vibe about, making this a day where you're likely to be a little too inflexible on the work front. You may need to watch out for being too rigid in your day-to-day routine too. Something may need a few tweaks, not a huge overhaul. Sometimes less really is more! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Lingering, if weakened, influences could encourage an unusually emotional reaction to a practical or material development. There's a very slight chance that your responses and fixes will be governed by the subtly selfish vibe. It's certainly a day to consider those around you! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It's a day where you'll be a little more business-minded than usual. Given this financial acumen, it'll be a good day to get your finances in order, so long as you don't spend any surplus. That said; a sudden spike in self-confidence could be a little misguiding. Think before you speak! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It is a quiet day, but that doesn't mean a non-productive day. If the morning hours bring a surplus of work, then the evening hours should see a definite turning point. As a note of caution, it might not be wise to try and ignore a specific and possibly sudden obligation. Get it over and done with! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Strong willpower combined with a sense of what is right will perhaps make today a little harder than it needs to be. Being a little too subjective could backfire, especially if you don't have all of the facts and figures to support what you're trying to say. It's certainly not a day to make bold statements! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A rather determined approach has the capacity to be quite constructive, since people are more likely to listen. A moment of success on the work front is likely to be the result of cooperative team efforts. All that said; you may still be tempted to try and do everything yourself! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If it is beginning to feel as though work is taking over your life, then pay attention to an incisive vibe, which will help to identify the slight imbalance. One marginally outdated, established habit in your day-to-day routine might need nothing more than a modernizing tweak! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Thanks to the lingering Pluto/Mercury mix you should find that you can reduce any pressure or limit any demands, as long as you don't try to go against the general trend too much. The more risky a new thought, idea or plan, the higher the chance of things going a little wrong! FOR THOSE OF US BORN ON THIS DAY: Happy Birthday! The months ahead are likely to start with you being quite down to earth and practical minded, but watch the finances! Your inner voice will guide you well but think before you part with your hard earned cash. Later in the year, around September, you might feel inclined to join a good cause or donate some of your time to a voluntary group, and around this time you are likely to feel very spoilt for choice in terms of romance as you'll meet some very interesting people. A stroke of luck towards Christmas could possibly result in a change of direction or a journey, which will prove beneficial to you, but after the New Year you'll really need to sit down and think which way you want your life to go, because the numerous opportunities unfolding in the spring suggest some tough choices! CELEBRITY GOSSIP: Victoria Beckham is perhaps more famous now as a fashion designer than when she was a member of the Spice Girls. Although there was a lot of cynicism initially, her style has won people over. The planets tell us that Victoria may be in a position to achieve a life-long dream before the end of Summer! Today's lucky numbers ARIES 5, 14, 21, 30, 36, 42 TAURUS 6, 13, 25, 33, 45, 48 GEMINI 7, 12, 20, 29, 32, 46 CANCER 3, 11, 14, 28, 31, 44 LEO 7, 18, 26, 34, 38, 42 VIRGO 3, 15, 21, 30, 36, 45 LIBRA 7, 12, 28, 32, 45, 49 SCORPIO 6, 18, 24, 31, 38, 46 SAGITTARIUS 2, 7, 19, 21, 30, 49 CAPRICORN 9, 15, 18, 26, 34, 47 AQUARIUS 3, 11, 20, 32, 41, 45 PISCES 9, 18, 27, 33, 46, 48 TODAY'S CHINESE PROVERB: There are times, aren't there, when plants shoot but do not flower, and when they flower but do not produce fruit? TODAY'S MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. – Richard Bach, from Illusions. TODAY'S WISDOM FROM AROUND THE WORLD: Avoid the evil, and it will avoid thee. – Gaelic proverb. ![]() |
How I became a late-night TV host: Andy Cohen - USA TODAY Posted: 25 Jun 2019 03:00 AM PDT
In the world of reality TV, Andy Cohen reigns supreme. As the host of the only live late-night talk show on TV, Cohen has been dishing on everything from the "Housewives" franchise to celebrity gossip for over 1,200 episodes on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen." USA TODAY caught up with the new dad – who celebrates 10 years on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" on June 27 – to talk about everything from English Breakfast tea and The Grateful Dead to embracing authenticity and the memories he's made during his 10 years on late-night TV. Question: How did you get your start in the business? Andy Cohen: My family was in the food business, so we didn't really have any connections to TV or entertainment. I just got as many internships as I could, so before I even graduated I think I had had six or seven internships, and my last one was at CBS News in New York. Though I had planned to work in the small market and be on the air, I got one taste of New York life and said, forget it, I think I'll move there and work behind-the-scenes. I got a job there, at CBS News. Q: How has your path led from your beginnings all the way to celebrating 10 years with "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen?" Cohen: I went from CBS to working for Barry Diller at the channel called Trio, which wound up becoming folded into the NBCUniversal cable division where they pulled the plug on the channel and made me in charge of original programming at Bravo. While I was doing that, my boss asked me to write a daily blog on the Bravo website. I was the only network executive that was blogging about the programming of the network every day, and she knew that I had originally wanted to be on the air. So, she let me host a once-a-week web show called "Watch What Happens" that was broadcasted on BravoTV.com out of a little studio closet in New Jersey. It was an after-show after "Top Chef" and "Project Runway," so people always think that "Watch What Happens Live" was started as a "Housewives" after-show, but it wasn't. I did that for a while, I think over a year, and then a guy named Michael Davies who owns a small studio and production company came to Bravo and said, 'I could do the show you're doing online on the air.' Bravo picked it up for 12 weeks at midnight, and the rest is history. My show (then) went from once a week to twice a week, and in the early days my friends came on as a favor because I wanted to show Bravo that the show didn't have to be all about the "Housewives," but that it could be all about celebrities. So, Sarah Jessica Parker came on and Jerry Seinfeld and Liam Neeson, and it was really exciting. Q: What does a typical workday look like? Cohen: There really is no typical day, because I'm Radio Andy on Sirius two mornings a week, and other mornings I might be just out with my son or doing press or out-of-town. This morning, I was in Albany lobbying on behalf of a surrogacy bill. I will say that what is constant now is that my son goes to bed around 8:30, and I leave for my show around 9:30. All day long, I'm emailing with my staff about that night's show, about future shows, about creative ideas, and bookings, so we're kind of always in touch. Whether I'm working on "Watch What Happens Live" stuff or Radio Andy stuff, I'm sneaking in watching cuts of "Housewives" – I watched a cut of "Housewives" this morning and I have to watch an episode this afternoon – so, I'm always working on one of my jobs, basically. Q: What's your favorite thing about your job? Cohen: I think my favorite thing about "Watch What Happens Live" is that I love that it's live and spontaneous. I love it that every night the show is different, I love getting my guests to say things they've never said on other shows and asking them questions I know viewers want answered. Q: What do you credit your success to? Cohen: Authenticity. I think my show is totally authentic – it's unique, and I think we speak directly to our audience. We don't BS them. There's something relatable about it. Q: How do you balance work, life, and such a busy schedule? Cohen: I take each day as it comes, you know? I just take every task as it comes, and I don't say yes to anything that I'm not passionate about doing. Q: What have been your highlights on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen?" Cohen: Oh my God, there's too many to count. Oprah coming on was really big for me for a myriad of reasons, when Joan Rivers used to come on was a really big deal for me because I used to watch her on the "Tonight Show," and then there's those random shows that you don't think are going to be anything, then you're like, wow, that was incredible. That's what makes the show special: everyone is different. Q: What advice would you give to someone who wants to follow in your footsteps? Cohen: Just follow your passion. Try to pick out a company that you believe in or are excited about, or an industry that you believe in, and success will follow. The Bravo host describes his experience in the delivery room. Time Quick hits • What's your coffee order? An English Breakfast tea with milk. • What is your favorite book? "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara • What is your favorite song of the moment? "Morning Dew" by The Grateful Dead • Who has been one of your biggest mentors? Barry Diller. I had been working at CBS News for 10 years very comfortably, and he offered me an opportunity to run programming and start up a channel that he was starting up, and I wound up learning so much about cable programming from him and from that job. • What is the coolest thing you've ever done? In a lifetime of doing cool things, nothing tops being a dad.

Free daily horoscope, celeb gossip and lucky numbers for 24 June, 2019 - The South African Posted: 23 Jun 2019 04:03 PM PDT CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Mick Fleetwood, Michele Lee, Peter Weller, Jeff Beck, Joe Penny, Hut Stricklin, Pete Hamill. ARIES (March 21-April 19): There are likely to be a few leftover matters to deal with, but within the context of a possibly equally-balanced choice. It's possible that you may have to decide whether to stick with an ongoing commitment or invest in what could be an alternative path. You should have a clearer picture in due course! Want to know what the future holds? Get a FREE tarot card reading. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Planetary shifts switch the emphasis to communications and information, but within a marginally anxious vibe. In order to try and accommodate everything, you might be tempted to adopt too many strategies and back-up plans. However, such tactics could rebound. Think ahead and be realistic! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Thanks to planetary shifts it's the sort of day where you may feel a need to tie up any of loose ends in order to give yourself a fresh start. This is likely to apply to the career front. However, this could develop in the context of a subtly distracting vibe, which may be down to an entirely separate issue in romance! CANCER (June 21-July 22): The shifting vibe is likely to bring a low-level corrective angle to everyday matters. An unexpected opportunity could develop out of nowhere. In addition; you could find a solution to resolve an iffy development. Something said may be intriguing, but you may not be able to revisit this until the weekend! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Planetary shifts may well encourage you to look backwards at a point when there may be some useful developments in the here-and- now, specifically on the career front. It may be harder than it sounds to reverse a marginally anxious vibe, but that said; this will enable a highly useful balance between thought and action! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's likely to be an odd day with a slight twist. While planetary shifts have the capacity to help to settle one particular source of dissatisfaction, possibly on the work front, the overriding vibe may well draw your attention to a brand new conundrum. A new romantic interest may be the epicenter of this! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It's not a bad day, but it may be a slightly draining one. There may be a few cosmic hints, clues and pointers to guide you on a couple of fronts, but mainly in career matters. Professional relationships, new understandings and possibly new agreements are likely to come under the spotlight. Take care with casual dialogue! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Incoming information may well feature today and could have a longer-term impact than you realize. This could give way to an opportunity revolving around unexpected news. Given the shifting vibe it's certainly a day you'll regain a little more control than of late. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Muddled or vague communications could cause a few minor inconveniences later in the day. Any errors are likely to be avoidable, but easily missed. It may be best to check both incoming and outgoing information: specifically, check the small print and be familiar with the details! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Planetary shifts bring a subtly warmer vibe. There's a definite change in pace and mood, but within a slightly unpredictable context. Specifically; one minor but unexpected complication on the romance front may appear to develop out of nowhere and take you by surprise! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While practical and material matters should settle, you may find that emotional matters become a little demanding. It's certainly a day to steer clear of focusing on what can't be changed. There may be a sudden and unexpected realization later in the day: if so, pay it some attention! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It's a day where you might find the need to overhaul one particular key area. However, the cosmic timing won't be great, thanks to shifting vibe, which will encourage a far more meticulous and cautious approach in general. It may be a good idea to avoid team-work until this lessens somewhat! FOR THOSE OF US BORN ON THIS DAY: Happy Birthday! The months ahead will start with a rocky patch: a crisis of confidence and a need to distance yourself from your friends will soon fade when you are able to express your original ideas, although you will need to learn to put your foot down once in a while. Mid-year there could be a problem with communication, but if you're willing to listen and receive this too can be overcome. Personal relationships will improve as you establish your independence. CELEBRITY GOSSIP: Keira Knightley may have a new baby girl, but that is unlikely to stop her looking to move her movie career forward according to the planets. Keira's astrological chart suggests that the next two years could represent the peak of her career so the time for her to act is now! Today's lucky numbers ARIES 4, 11, 20, 27, 32, 45 TAURUS 3, 18, 26, 32, 35, 44 GEMINI 1, 8, 14, 25, 33, 47 CANCER 6, 11, 20, 29, 32, 46 LEO 4, 13, 21, 30, 38, 43 VIRGO 7, 16, 24, 28, 36, 41 LIBRA 9, 14, 23, 30, 37, 42 SCORPIO 1, 3, 17, 25, 32, 45 SAGITTARIUS 9, 18, 21, 30, 36, 42 CAPRICORN 8, 17, 23, 38, 41, 46 AQUARIUS 3, 14, 26, 32, 35, 43 PISCES 7, 18, 21, 24, 37, 45 TODAY'S CHINESE PROVERB: It is not the knowing that is difficult, but the doing. TODAY'S MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is . . . impossible. – Richard Bach, from Illusions. TODAY'S WISDOM FROM AROUND THE WORLD: Ask about your neighbors, then buy the house. – Jewish proverb. ![]() |
