Lady Gaga Rocks Short Shorts To Run Errands After Returning To L.A. Following ‘House Of Gucci’ Filming
If you saw Lady Gaga on Monday (May 17), you wouldn’t be faulted for thinking this is not the same woman who once wore a dress made out of meat. Gaga, 35, was the picture of casual comfort while running errands in Los Angeles. The “Rain On Me” singer was spotted in a tie-dye hoodie and short-shorts while picking up some coffee at a Starbucks in Malibu. Her hair was put up in a messy half-updo, and she finished her outfit with a pair of colorful Nikes. Considering this is the same woman who busted out four different looks at the Met Gala in 2019, it’s a bit shocking to see her in such a low-key look, but considering how hard she’s been working, Gaga deserves to keep it casual.

Loma Linda Children’s Hospital receive Jared Boxes
Our Hemet/San Jacinto Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG) did a terrific job making Jared Boxes again this year for the seriously ill kids at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital. Jared Boxes (shoeboxsized) are filled with small toys, books, socks, Nerf Balls, crayons, pens (and other child-oriented things too numerous to mention), to keep the kids engaged and active while they endure long and tedious tests, exams, chemo, and other stressful procedures. (Look online for more information on ways you can help make Jared Boxes for children in your local area hospitals.) This year the DKG teachers made 84 boxes! The value of each box ranges from $25 to $35/box, and they are donated by both the active and the retired teachers who belong to DKG.
AN ORIGINAL IDEA SPREADS FROM HEMET THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
It never ceases to amaze me how one story can lead to another. A few weeks ago, I wrote about a local coffee shop that changed its name to The Destination Smokehouse and Eatery, expecting that to be the whole story. But it wasn’t. A previous meeting in a barbershop with the owner led to a more widespread story.
