Larry Fine shot to fame as one of the “Three Stooges‚” which he became a part of in the mid-20s. His granddaughter‚ Kris Cutler recalled seeing Larry every Friday as a young girl‚ and being his “pal.” “He’d pick me up from school‚ we’d go shopping at Hughes Market‚ and he’d make me a hamburger. He made good hamburgers‚” she told Closer Weekly. Kris added that he was “kind‚ wonderful‚ and loving‚” and “just spoiled me.” “During the war‚ my mother told me he’d bring soldiers home‚ feed them‚ and give them a place to stay. He’d do anything for anybody‚” she added‚ lauding her famous grandfather’s kind nature.

He’d get her anything she wanted. You know‚ if it’s 3 in the morning and she said‚ ‘I want Chinese food‚’ he’d go out and get her Chinese food‚” Kris recalled‚ with Kurt adding that they loved having “a big Thanksgiving dinner.” The ‘Three Stooges’ were like family to Larry Fine Speaking of family time‚ Larry had close-knit moments off-set with his fellow acts‚ Mo Howard and Shemp Howard. “We’d go to Mo’s house for barbecues. He’d come over and say: ‘You see these bags under my eyes&;#63; That’s where I keep my money.’” Kris recalled. “They had dinners together once a week. They really were a very close-knit family group‚” Kurt quipped.

They’re both tugging at it when all of a sudden‚ the turkey flies out of the pan‚ slides through the swinging doors‚ and lands at the base of the dining table. Larry walks out‚ puts his hands in the air‚ and says‚ ‘Dinner’s ready&;#33;’” Kurt explained. Kris spoke fondly about their baseball games and eat-outs together‚ as well as Larry’s perspective of family as “the most important thing.” Click for next Article The post Larry Fine’s Granddaughter Recalls Growing Up With One Of ‘Three Stooges’ appeared first on DoYouRemember&;#63; - The Home of Nostalgia.

At 75 years of age‚ Richard Simmons remains one of the most memorable and unique personalities in the world of fitness. Actor and comedian Pauly Shore is set to star in a biopic about Simmons but Simmons has repeatedly rejected the project‚ keeping it at arms length. The Warner Bros. subsidiary The Wolper Organization is currently developing a Simmons biopic and has tapped writer Jordan Allen-Dutton for the project. However‚ Simmons is completely uninvolved and shared his surprise and disapproval on social media in a post that drew a strong reaction from Shore. Richard Simmons distances himself from the new biopic on his life starring Pauley Shore Richard Simmons reacted to a biopic starring Pauly Shore that he does not approve of / Twitter On April 24‚ Simmons took to social media to discuss the revelation he had concerning a Shore-led biopic about his life. “I just read that a man that I don’t know is writing my bio pic starring Pauly Shore‚” he shared. “I do not approve this movie. I am in talks with major studios to create my own biopic with some help. Wait for this movie.” RELATED: Reclusive Richard Simmons Breaks Silence On His 75th Birthday Weight had been a personal topic for fitness personality Richard Simmons for most of his life. He contended with obesity throughout his youth; at 15‚ he weighed 182 pounds. Into adulthood‚ he peaked at 268 pounds. In LA in the ’70s‚ he got into fitness and noted that successful fitness studios had eyes only for customers who were already at their health goals‚ leaving no resources for those wanting to get healthy. That’s when he stepped in to change that completely. Pauly Shore was heartbroken that Richard Simmons rejects the biopic‚ and fans offer a split response   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pauly Shore (@paulyshore) Not long after the post went live Shore took to Instagram to share his emotional reaction to Simmons’s disinterest. “You guys‚ I was up all night crying regarding Richard Simmons’ tweet‚” he admitted to his 473k followers. “Richard‚ how do you not approve of this movie&;#63; I mean‚ really‚ who’s better to play you in a movie than ME&;#63; Leonardo DiCaprio’s not gonna play you. Brad Pitt’s not gonna play you. I’m perfect. Everyone already thinks I’m you. We’re the same. Beautiful‚ inside and out.” “Richard‚ you haven’t even heard the pitch‚” Shore insisted. “Why don’t you simply let me come over to your house‚ bring you some warm matzo ball soup and a pastrami sandwich with dark mustard from Canters‚ rub your feet‚ and we can listen to the writer‚ Jordan Allen-Dutton‚ pitch you our idea.” Shore went on to recount seeing Simmons at The Comedy Store‚ the times their paths crossed‚ and claimed his biopic would be so good‚ “you’ll drop to your knees and cry with joy and happiness.” While Shore also noted that many biopics have been made without the subject being consulted‚ not all of Shore’s followers were on his side. Pauly Shore as Richard Simmons One said in support‚ “I speak for everyone when I say we want the Pauly Shore version AND the approved version.” Another cheered‚ “I vote Pauly all day.” Others‚ however‚ countered‚ “he’s alive and doesn’t want it he’s purposefully avoided the public for personal reasons so why don’t we just respect that&;#63; saying biopics have been made without others consent doesn’t mean it’s right it just means it’s happened.” Another agreed‚ “You are telling his story without his permission and against his wishes. Did you really think the court of public opinion would side with you over Richard freaking Simmons&;#63; Leave the man alone and cancel the project.” Another on Twitter took the middle ground‚ sharing‚ “I’m not a Pauly Shore fan. That said‚ I loved the short. I’ve seen interviews of Richard when I was younger. He truly cares about the well-being of others. Pauly did a great job capturing the demeanor of Richard I remember in the interviews. I’d love for them two hash it out..” What do you think&;#63; Fans are split on the issue / Jim Britt / TV Guide / courtesy Everett Collection RELATED: Suzanne Somers: Richard Simmons Seemed ‘Insecure’ Before He Disappeared From Spotlight Click for next Article The post Richard Simmons Rejects Biopic On His Life‚ Gets Dramatic Reaction From Star Pauly Shore appeared first on DoYouRemember&;#63; - The Home of Nostalgia.

The list of chemicals found in space is growing longer and longer. Astronomers have found amino acids and other building blocks of life on comets‚ asteroids‚ and even floating freely in space. Now‚ researchers have found another complex chemical to add to the list. The new chemical is known as 2-methoxyethanol (CH3OCH2CH2OH). It’s one of several methoxy molecules that scientists have found in space. But with 13 atoms‚ it’s one of the largest and most complex ones ever detected. A team of scientists called the McGuire Group specializes in detecting chemicals in space. The McGuire Group and other researchers from institutions in Florida and France worked together to find 2-methoxyethanol. The researchers published their findings in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. It’s titled “Rotational Spectrum and First Interstellar Detection of 2-methoxyethanol Using ALMA Observations of NGC 6334I.” The lead author is Zachary Fried‚ a graduate student in the McGuire Group at MIT. A ball and stick model of 2-methoxyethanol (CH3OCH2CH2OH). With 13 atoms‚ it’s one of the largest complex chemicals ever found in space.

The researchers didn’t stumble upon the large molecule. It was found as part of a concerted effort to detect new chemicals in space. It all started with machine learning. In 2023‚ one machine-learning model suggested they look for 2-methoxyethanol. The next step was the lab‚ where researchers performed experiments that measured and analyzed the molecule’s rotational spectrum here on Earth. “We do this by looking at the rotational spectra of molecules‚ the unique patterns of light they give off as they tumble end-over-end in space‚” said Fried. “These patterns are fingerprints (barcodes) for molecules. To detect new molecules in space‚ we first must have an idea of what molecule we want to look for‚ then we can record its spectrum in the lab here on Earth‚ and then finally we look for that spectrum in space using telescopes.” The researchers measured the molecule’s spectrum over a broadband region of frequencies ranging from the microwave to sub-millimetre wave regimes (from about 8 to 500 gigahertz). With that data in hand‚ the researchers turned to ALMA‚ the Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array. ALMA gathered data from two star-forming regions: NGC 6334I and IRAS 16293-2422B. Researchers from the McGuire Group‚ the National Radio Astronomy Observatory‚ and the University of Copenhagen all worked on analyzing ALMA’s observations. “Ultimately‚ we observed 25 rotational lines of 2-methoxyethanol that lined up with the molecular signal observed toward NGC 6334I (the barcode matched&;#33;)‚ thus resulting in a secure detection of 2-methoxyethanol in this source‚” said Fried. “This allowed us to then derive physical parameters of the molecule toward NGC 6334I‚ such as its abundance and excitation temperature. It also enabled an investigation of the possible chemical formation pathways from known interstellar precursors.” NGC 6334m the Cat’s Paw Nebula. Image Credit: ESO Here on Earth‚ 2-methoxyethanol is used mostly as a solvent. It’s toxic to bone marrow and testicles. But its status here on Earth isn’t relevant to its discovery. The large molecule isn’t a building block for life‚ either. It’s significant because of its size and complexity. Scientists are interested in understanding how chemistry evolves and forms large molecules in regions where stars and planets are forming. “Our group tries to understand what molecules are present in regions of space where stars and solar systems will eventually take shape‚” explained Fried. “This allows us to piece together how chemistry evolves alongside the process of star and planet formation.” Molecular complexity is the hallmark of life‚ so‚ of course‚ scientists want to understand molecular complexity in space. As of 2021‚ scientists only found six molecules in space larger than 13 atoms outside our Solar System. McGuire’s team found many of them. Finding them is the first step. The next step is to figure out how and where they form. Though there are no direct links between 2-methoxyethanol and life‚ all complex chemistry has something to tell us about complex chemistry in general. “Continued observations of large molecules and subsequent derivations of their abundances allows us to advance our knowledge of how efficiently large molecules can form and by which specific reactions they may be produced‚” said Fried. “Additionally‚ since we detected this molecule in NGC 6334I but not in IRAS 16293-2422B‚ we were presented with a unique opportunity to look into how the differing physical conditions of these two sources may be affecting the chemistry that can occur.” IRAS 16293&;#63;2422 in the star-forming region Rho Ophiuchi. Image Credit: ESO NGC 6334I is a higher-mass star-forming region compared to IRAS 16293-2422B. That means it could have a potentially enhanced radiation field. That enhanced radiation could produce more precursors for 2-methoxyethanol‚ eventually leading to more of the molecule itself. Warmer dust temperatures may have contributed‚ too. Warmer dust allows greater dust mobility‚ leading to chemical fragments being allowed to recombine. Thanks to ever-improving observational tools and methods‚ including machine learning‚ astrochemistry is a blossoming field. If we’re ever going to understand how life on Earth arose and where it may likely rise elsewhere in the galaxy‚ astrochemistry will play a leading role. Though 2-methoxyethanol isn’t directly related to life‚ its detection still tells scientists something. The post Another New Molecule Discovered Forming in Space appeared first on Universe Today.
