74-year-old Richard Gere was feeling the love this Father’s Day. Though he continues to fill his work schedule—with a new film, Longing, out this year—Gere prefers to maintain his privacy. This habit took a brief break as he appeared alongside his sons in a rare family photo just in time for the holiday. Married three times, Gere shares multiple children across different relationships. He and Carey Lowell share Homer James, 24, and he is the stepfather of Lowell’s daughter Hannah. Today, he is with publicist Alejandra Silva, and the two share five-year-old Alexander, a younger three-year-old son whose name they have not shared, and Silva’s child from a past relationship, Albert, 9. Richard Gere appears in a rare photo with his children in time for Father’s Day   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Alejandra Gere (@alejandragere) On Sunday, Silva took to Instagram to share a Father’s Day tribute to Gere. “Happy Father’s Day, to the most wonderful dad four boys could ever wish for,” she captioned her post. “Your endless patience, love, and dedication are truly remarkable.

In each, there are wide smiles in abundance all around. Fatherhood and fame Richard Gere generally favors a private personal life / ImageCollect Gere credits becoming stepfather to Lowell’s daughter Hannah as his entry point into fatherhood. Speaking with The Independent in 2007, he said the experience helped him move on from “past any fears I had about having children.” So, when he welcomed Homer, he was able to focus on the joys of parenting. “He fills me with joy,” he said of Homer in 2008. “You have to make time for a child, but it’s enormously satisfying. That’s love, too.” Richard Gere was celebrated by his family on Father’s Day / Instagram When he became a parent, Gere also adjusted his schedule. “My film decisions are mostly mine,” he told Hindustan Times, “but I’m very careful about not being away from my son, Homer James Jigme Gere, for very long. So, if I have to be away for long, I talk to him about it, and if there is a problem, I don’t take up the project. And I have done that. Your family is more important than anything.” Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Peter Frampton has been on the musical scene for quite a long time. He co-founded the band Humble Pie in 1969 and began his solo career in the mid-1970s. This culminated in the release of Frampton Comes Alive! in 1976, which became one of the best-selling live albums of all time. Over the years, Frampton has continually evolved as an artist, exploring various musical styles and techniques. His talent and dedication were recognized in 2007 when he received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album for his work on Fingerprints. In a recent interview, the 74-year-old, who is scheduled for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, reminisced on his lengthy and illustrious career. Peter Frampton is thankful for his 60-year-plus career Peter Frampton, ca. 1970 Speaking in an interview with PEOPLE, Frampton reflected on his extraordinary six-decade-long career, emphasizing the invaluable support he has received from the music community throughout his journey.

UPDATED 6//17/2024 Many people know about Cher’s son Chaz Bono with late ex-husband Sonny Bono, but many don’t realize that she had a son named Elijah with second ex-husband Gregg Allman. Elijah’s relationship with his parents hasn’t always been easy, but now he is 47 years old and working as a musician just like his famous parents. Know professionally as P. Exeter Blue I, he recorded five albums with Deadsy and has been a featured musical performer on a variety of other records by different artists. Elijah once shared how he felt “shunned” as a child because he was sent away to boarding school. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight back in 2014, he expressed, “When you go to boarding school at 7-years-old, it’s kind of hard to feel like you’re not being shunned. But I’m at an age where I’m making peace with it, because you just have to. But it doesn’t mean it’s right. It’s still wrong to do that.” He also struggled with Lyme disease when he was younger, but eventually healed after treatment in Germany. Elijah actually met his wife Marleangela “Angie” King while receiving treatments in Germany, though their eventual nuptials led to even more family drama.

Elijah revealed that his mother did not congratulate him on his engagement and it was one of the reasons they decided to elope instead of planning a wedding with family. “I wasn’t going to wait for anyone’s approval and congratulations, just like I’ve never waited for any of that my whole life,” he told the Daily Mail. “The way I eloped with my wife is the same way I’ve done everything I’ve ever done. I don’t know any other way and we knew it was the right time.” Unfortunately, the marriage has been a rocky one. They broke up in 2020, with Allman filing for divorce the next year — though by all reports, in the end the divorce was dismissed and they’re still together. At the same time, it doesn’t mean that things have been easy. For starters, Elijah admitted in 2014 that he’s been taking drugs since he was 11, and that addiction was still an issue in his life. Flash forward to 2023, and Angie alleged in a court filing that when she and her husband were attempting to work on their relationship, Cher supposedly had him kidnapped from a hotel they were in. That same year, and due to his ongoing drug addiction, Cher filed for conservatorship. Reported nbclosangeles.com in December 2023, “Cher alleges that King has been a destructive presence in Allman’s life and is impeding efforts to have him get the help he needs with drugs, including recently trying to check him out of a treatment center where he was receiving much needed medical care. She concludes that if King were to be appointed conservator, Allman’s estate would suffer ‘the immediate loss or dissipation of Elijah’s assets for self-destructive purposes,'” according to the documents filed. Elijah himself told the Associated Press, “I am well and able and of sound mind and body.” The application for conservatorship was denied on January 30, 2024. RELATED: Cher’s Son, Chaz Bono, Is A Successful Transgender Actor Who Overcame Life’s Obstacles Cher and her kids Elijah Blue, and Chastity Bono / Everett Collection After receiving his first guitar from Gene Simmons himself, Elijah decided he wanted to make a career in music, starting the group Deadsy at age 19, releasing five albums between 1995’s Demo and 2006’s Phantasmagore, with another on the way. Additionally, he’s been a featured musician on 10 other records. Connecting with Chaz? Singer CHER & son ELIJAH BLUE ALLMAN at the 2002 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. 09DEC2002. Paul Smith / Featureflash/Image Collect Since Elijah has had a rocky relationship with his parents, did he have that same relationship with Chaz Bono? While Elijah and Chaz are stepbrothers, Elijah admitted that they were only close when they were kids, but went off in different directions as they entered their teenage years. At the same time, it doesn’t sound like there is any bad blood between them at least. “We were close,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “I think what happened was Chaz went off to a performing arts school back east and I went off back east as well, later to prep school, so from there we took different paths. But for a minute growing up, we were kind of close. We have our issues, but you don’t have any choice if you want to be a balanced person, but to ultimately heal. But there’s unresolved stuff for sure.” It sounds like there’s a lot of that in Elijah’s life.

Many years ago, there was a viral YouTube video called “History of the entire world, i guess,” which has been an endless source of internet memes since its release. One of the most prominent is also scientifically accurate—when describing why animals couldn’t start living on land, the video’s creator, Bill Wurtz, intones, “The Sun is a deadly laser.”  Early in planetary development, the X-ray and ultraviolet radiation level of a planet’s host stars could sterilize the entire planet’s surface, even if it is in the so-called “habitable zone.” To narrow down the search for potentially habitable planets, the team at the Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton telescopes took a look at stars that had planets in their habitable zone and analyzed them for whether the star’s radiation itself might preclude life as we know it from developing there. Over ten observational days on Chandra and 26 on XMM-Newton, scientists observed 57 stars close enough to Earth to have their exoplanets explored by the next generation of exoplanet-hunting telescopes, such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory. While not all of them had known exoplanets, at least some did.  YouTube Video detailing the research.Credit – Chandra X-ray Observatory YouTube Channel However, those exoplanets were typically much larger than Earth, even if they were in the habitable zone. It is much easier to detect giant planets orbiting close to their stars using modern date exoplanet detection techniques like transiting and astrometry. A press release from Chandra notes how many more rocky exoplanets the size of Earth are likely hiding around these stars, but our limited detection methods are not yet capable of finding them. That isn’t to say we can’t learn much about their host stars, though, and that is where the data from the paper presented to the 244 meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Madison, Wisconsin, comes in. Watching the X-ray emissions of these local stars allowed the team to narrow down what stars to look at for potentially habitable exoplanets, thereby allowing the future powerful planet hunters to focus their observational time on candidates that are more likely to produce results. Fraser details the path towards detecting 100 million exoplanets over the next thirty years. Some of the stars in the study were indeed promising, with X-ray exposure similar to, or even less than, that of Earth when life began forming here billions of years ago. The data measured several aspects of the star’s output, including their brightness, how much energy those X-rays pack, and how powerful the star’s flares are. All of those could significantly impact the ability of life to form on any orbiting planets. Fifty-seven stars is a relatively small sample size. Still, the proof of concept for how Chandra and XMM-Newton can be used to scout potential systems for habitability can be scaled up before any long-term observing mission for the new planet finders—no doubt they will be shortly as HWF and other missions get closer to fruition. However, Chandra itself is facing budgetary challenges, causing many in the media to speculate that it might soon go “dark.” XMM-Newton itself is almost a quarter century old at this point, and a new joint X-ray mission, XRISM, is facing its own technical challenges, with a stuck door limiting it from observing in some of its potential wavelengths. With luck, X-ray astronomy will continue to evolve over the next few decades. Part of that mission might be leading the scouting team for one of the most important astronomical searches humanity is currently undergoing.
