Davro said: “I think one in eight men get it. Coming in today, the man that picked me up in the car from Waterloo – he had it. I think a lot of men of colour, they get more prostate cancer, so it’s got to be checked.

Bobby Valentine, in Disguise Again, Revels in His Most Famous Moment With Mets

Bobby Valentine, in Disguise Again, Revels in His Most Famous Moment With Mets

NEW YORK (AP) — Bobby Valentine was just trying to keep things loose — and perhaps save his job — when he donned a makeshift disguise and returned to the New York Mets’ dugout after being ejected from a game against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 9, 1999. It turned into a defining moment, maybe even the most memorable of his 40-plus years in baseball. On the eve of his induction into the Mets Hall of Fame, Valentine reveled in that clandestine act Friday night when the former manager again wore sunglasses and a fake mustache while throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to a similarly disguised Mr. Met. The 76-year-old Valentine, who will be honored Saturday alongside ex-Mets teammate Lee Mazzilli, emerged from the New York dugout and received a warm hand from a Citi Field crowd that included fans already adorned in the ballpark giveaway — sunglasses and a fake mustache. Valentine moved a few steps in front of the mound and tossed a pitch to the team mascot, whose hat read: …

The 22-year-old Enola Holmes star and the 24-year-old son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi tied the knot in May 2024 and announced they had adopted a baby girl the following August. In an August 2025 interview for Crocs, which has just resurfaced on social media, Brown shared her biggest travel pet peeve. “My husband, he doesn’t pack any clothes, just ever,” Brown said. “So we’ll leave, and I’ll have a big suitcase, and he has nothing with him. “Just his phone, never really a charger. Usually, he just steals mine and then takes his computer. Then …

Brown, 22, had been due to star as real-life gymnast Kerri Strug in Netflix’s Olympics drama Perfect.

Before running for Congress, Bobby Pulido was a Tejano music icon : NPR

Bloomberg/Bloomberg via Getty Images/Bloomberg hide caption toggle caption Bloomberg/Bloomberg via Getty Images/Bloomberg When Texas native Bobby Pulido announced he’d be running for office in the state’s 15th congressional district, which stretches from the San Antonio border down to the border with Mexico, many people already knew his name — not as a politician, but as a star in the state’s signature Tejano music genre. In September, on the same day he received his fifth Latin Grammy nomination, Pulido officially threw his cowboy hat in the ring as a Democratic candidate against incumbent Rep. Monica De La Cruz. Three years earlier, she’d become the first Republican to ever flip the historically blue district. On the campaign trail, De la Cruz has used Pulido’s music background as a dig against her opponent, stating that this election “isn’t about who you want performing at your niece’s quinceañera.” In response, Pulido posted a video on social media underlining how significant those celebrations are to the communities of South Texas. “A quinceañera …

Bobby Pulido wins Texas Democratic congressional primary

Bobby Pulido wins Texas Democratic congressional primary

Tejano singer Bobby Pulido’s political dreams live to see another round after securing the Democratic nomination for Texas’ 15th congressional district on Tuesday night. The “Desvelado” artist garnered over two-thirds of the primary votes in his home district to beat out emergency physician Ada Cuellar. Tuesday night’s elections were the first since Texas underwent a controversial redistricting last year, which directly led to the redrawing of boundaries in the 15th district. Pulido will now face off against Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz in November for the congressional seat. In 2022, De La Cruz became the district’s first Republican representative following a previous round of redistricting and was reelected in 2024. President Trump also became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the majority of votes in the South Texas district in decades during the 2020 election. “I want to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart that went out there and supported this campaign,” Pulido said in a post-victory Instagram video. “I won’t let you down, I’m gonna work my butt off and …
