Mike Myers Debuts White Hair in First Public Appearance in Over a Year
Mike Myers returned to the spotlight for a rare public appearance this weekend … but folks had to do a double take, ’cause nobody could recognize him with his new hair color.
The actor stepped out Saturday for the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala in L.A. — where Nicole Kidman was being honored — which marked his first time at a public event in about a year.
Mike looked unrecognizable with short white hair — but was rocking it proudly as he spoke onstage at one point … and posing for tons of pics before heading inside, all smiles.
He was even taking photos with fans too … acting goofy and posing for a bunch of selfies.
Mike has always kept a relatively low profile … as he and his wife, Kelly Tisdale, are known for keeping their home life super private. So, seeing MM out and about like this is pretty remarkable — especially since he’s a silver fox now, and totally leaning into it.
The last few times Mike was out in public was in April and May of 2023 — in April of that year, his was quite a bit longer … and more importantly, it was the same color of brown we’ve seen him in for years now.
In May, the guy was at a basketball game — with pretty damn good seats, it seems — but there … he was wearing a beanie, covering up his ‘do. Since then, he’s been kinda MIA.
Anyway, it was clearly a big enough occasion to get Mike out of the house and into the public eye again — remember, this was all about Nicole … and anyone who’s anyone showed up to give her her flowers, including a ton of celebs.
Among the stars in attendance … Reese Witherspoon, Joey King, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jane Seymour, Miles Teller, Naomi Watts, Morgan Freeman and lots of others.
Mike certainly stood out though … and we gotta say, he’s looking real sharp these days!
Two men got into an old-school sword duel down in the Dominican Republic … and one poor guy lost a hand in the vicious fight, video taken by eyewitnesses shows.
The crazy battle went down Tuesday in San Pedro de Macorís — a small town on the southern part of the island — and the footage of this altercation is absolutely unbelievable … seriously looking like something straight out of a movie.
The two combatants face offer outside a gas station, with machetes and swinging — steel slashing against steel on the sidewalk. They exchange wild hacks, and, at first, it seems like one man may have the advantage as he forces his opponent to the ground.
Somehow, the man on the ground fends off his attacker with a series of kicks and slashes from his back, forcing his way to his knee … and cutting off his opponent’s hand at the wrist.
After his hand’s slashed off clean, the injured man runs away from his attacker … who walks in the other direction — with his shirt completely covered in blood. Despite being down a limb, the maimed man walks calmly to his severed hand, picks it up and heads off on his way.
Local reports cite eyewitnesses who say the men were actually friends … and this war was actually over a woman. The injured man was taken to a local hospital, but it’s unclear if doctors could salvage the hand and re-attach it.
We also don’t know if the other man involved in the altercation will face charges or not.
The College Podcast Challenge, now in its third year, received nearly 500 entries from students in 39 states and the District of Columbia. Back in March, we announced our 10 finalists, and earlier this month, we shared the story of Michael Vargas Arango, grand prize winner of the 2023 competition.
Beyond these entries, though, we also received 22 podcasts that caught our ears and that our judges thought had a strong story to tell. Here are the honorable mentions.
