The family of Lady Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan, who was shot in Los Angeles Wednesday night, has issued a statement revealing that he is expected to make a full recovery.

“Thankfully, Ryan is receiving extraordinary care in the hospital right now and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery,” his family in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone. “We cannot possibly say enough to thank all of the first responders, nurses and doctors who have worked so tirelessly to care for Ryan.”

The family also thanked Gaga in the process for her support — stating, “Of course, we also want to thank Lady Gaga who has shown nothing but non-stop love and concern for Ryan and our family right from the outset. Ryan loves Gustavo and Koji as much as Lady Gaga does; so we join in her plea for their safe return.”

“Thank you very much for your interest and support. At this time we kindly ask that you respect our family’s privacy as we are focused on Ryan’s recovery,” the statement concluded.

Lisa Rinna’s daughter Amelia Hamlin denies claims she’s ‘blackfishing’ in Instagram post

Amelia Hamlin defended herself after fans on social media accused her of “blackfishing” in a recent post.

The 19-year-old daughter of “Housewives” star Lisa Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin posted a series of photos on Instagram where her skin tone appeared several shades darker than her natural complexion.

“Whiplash got me like….” she captioned the photos. Followers pointed out that her complexion looked unnatural and manipulated.

“Blackfishing” is a term that refers to someone purposefully altering his or her appearance to seem Black or racially ambiguous.

“I’m receiving a lot of comments in regards to my latest photo. I am being told that I am ‘black fishing’ – thank you all for educating me on this topic. I recently went on vacation in the sun, and with my Italian heritage I tan very easily,” the model wrote on her Stories.

“There is no self-tanner involved. Or intention of looking darker than my own natural skin color,” Hamlin explained. “I had a lot of fun creating this look with no malice intention or offense,”

Hamlin has since turned off the comments section.

The vacation she is referring to was her recent trip to Miami, Fla. with her rumored boyfriend Scott Disick, 37. They have reportedly been dating since October.

“Allegations of inappropriate behavior in any workplace are deeply troubling and should be addressed,” foundation president and CEO Tina Tchen said in a statement published on the foundation’s website.

“We call on the Cuomo administration to conduct a full and independent investigation into these claims immediately.”

The organization joined actress Rose McGowan and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in calling for action over Boylan’s accusations.

Cuomo has until now counted TIME’S UP board members among his allies: The foundation includes Ashley Judd and Eva Longoria, who previously praised Cuomo for his anti-harassment laws or handling of the pandemic, respectively.

Miranda Lambert says pandemic helped marriage to Brendan McLoughlin: ‘I was really thankful’

Miranda Lambert admitted that the pandemic has really helped her marriage to Brendan McLoughlin.

The two tied the knot after a brief courtship and the country singer said living and traveling together over the last year around the country in a RV has brought them closer together.

“Yeah, I think it was really good,” Lambert, 37, said of spending every day in lockdown together on SiriusXM’s The Highway.

“I mean, we didn’t date very long before we got married. And so we sort of got to just really, really, really get to know each other. Cause it was just us two with no distraction, at my farm outside of Nashville. And so I was really thankful for it because it made us really strong,” she revealed.

Lambert added that before the pandemic she was often on the road touring and performing.

“I think it did that for a lot of couples, especially a lot of my friends don’t really see their significant other because we’re different directions all the time,” she explained. “But with everything that happened last year, I think everybody was forced to sort of reconnect with themselves and with people that they really love and that are close to them.”

One day prior, Germanotta pleaded in an interview with Fox News for the public to “help us catch these creeps.” He added that now that it’s known the dog walker will be ok, they’re desperate for a safe return for the pups, named Koji and Gustavo.

“First priorities were that Ryan was ok. Second is that we can get those animals back and that they haven’t been harmed,” Germanotta said.

Gaga’s dad also added a plea to the suspects on Friday, sharing with Fox News: “Please don’t hurt those animals.”

“They hurt no one, just let them go. There’s no reason to keep them. They have no value. The visibility they have now you’d be crazy to buy them,” Germanotta continued. “Let them go. Give them back to us so that we can bring them back into the family.”

Queen Elizabeth says getting coronavirus vaccine ‘was quite harmless, very quick’

Queen Elizabeth II has come forward in the hopes others will be encouraged to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The British monarch participated in a video call with the officials responsible for rolling out the vaccine in the U.K. The recorded call was broadcast on Friday.

The 94-year-old compared the effort that’s gone into Britain’s national vaccination campaign to the way people worked together during World War II.

“Well, once you’ve had the vaccine, you have a feeling of, you know, you’re protected, which is, I think, very important,” Elizabeth explained. “And as far as I can make out it was quite harmless, very quick. And I’ve had lots of letters from people who’ve been very surprised by how easy it was to get the vaccine.”

The queen pointed out that being vaccinated helps protect everyone, not just the person receiving the shot.

“It’s obviously difficult for people if they’ve never had a vaccine because they ought to think about other people rather than themselves,” she said.

Some 18 million people have been vaccinated in the U.K. However, worries persist that some of the groups most at risk are hesitating to get their shots.

The call with health officials this week showed the queen continuing with her duties even as Philip rests at King Edward VII’s Hospital in what royal officials called a precautionary measure. Buckingham Palace said Tuesday that he was being treated for an infection.

During the conversation, the queen described COVID-19 as a “plague” that has swept across the globe. She urged the vaccination drive leaders to “keep up the good work.”′

She likened the community spirit to get vaccinations done to the experience of the country during World War II.

“So my lasting reflection, ma’am, would be if I could bottle this community spirit and use it, not just for the vaccination program but for other things, I think the job would be done,” he said.

The queen said: “Wouldn’t it be nice.”

Other members of the royal family have continued their official duties during Philip’s hospitalization.

Philip, whose 100th birthday is in June, married Elizabeth in 1947 at London’s Westminster Abbey five years before she became queen. He is the longest-serving royal consort in British history.

Prince Harry says Prince Philip, 99, knows how to use Zoom, but will slam shut his laptop to end calls

When it comes to Zoom, Prince Philip likes to do things his way.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s grandson Prince Harry appeared on “The Late Late Show” Thursday night and revealed the 99-year-old knows how to use Zoom, but slams shut his laptop to end the call instead of pressing the “Leave” button.

When James Corden asked the 36-year-old if his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II knows how to use the online chat service, Harry told the British TV host, “Yes, both my grandparents do.”

“They have Zoomed a few times, they have seen [my son] Archie running around,” he explained. “But my grandfather, instead of pressing ‘Leave Meeting,’ he just goes” – and Harry pretends to close his laptop.

“I am like ‘bye,’ as I’m pressing,” said Harry before imitating Philip closing the laptop.

The televised interview was filmed before Philip was hospitalized for an infection.

On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace said the prince is “comfortable and responding to treatment” at a London hospital. However, he “is not expected to leave for a few days.”

He was admitted to the private King Edward VII’s Hospital a week ago after feeling ill. The illness was not related to the coronavirus and royal officials called it a precautionary measure.

Philip’s youngest son, Prince Edward, told Sky News that his father was “a lot better.”

The 56-year-old said, “he’s looking forward to getting out, which is the most positive thing, so we keep our fingers crossed.”

Other members of the royal family have continued their official duties during Philip’s hospitalization.

Philip retired from public duties in 2017 and rarely appears in public. During England’s current coronavirus lockdown, he and the queen had been staying at Windsor Castle, west of London.

Both Philip and Elizabeth, 94, received COVID-19 vaccinations in January.
