Tommy Lee has condemned the insensitivity of some musicians to the Los Angeles fires. The fire, which started January 7 has continued for over a week, displacing several residents and businesses, and has consumed the properties in the area. Many people worldwide have shown support to those affected by the wildfires. According to recent updates, 25 people have been confirmed dead, over 80,000 people have evacuated their homes, while another 84,000 residents would likely evacuate due to the fires. Although firefighters have been able to contain the fire in some parts of Los Angeles, much work still needs to be done. LA fires updates: Tommy Lee calls out artists for sharing music during ongoing fires Tommy Lee/ImageCollect Amidst the chaos caused by the wildfires in Los Angeles, some artists are promoting their songs and tours, and this did not feel right to many, including Tommy Lee. His band, Motley Crue expressed their sympathy on January 9 for those displaced by the wildfires. “To everyone affected by the devastating and unprecedented fires in our hometown of Los Angeles, our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. May you and your loved ones stay safe as we stand together to overcome.” Motley Crue wrote on Facebook. Then on Monday, January 13, Tommy Lee himself condemned artists who were promoting their music amidst the fire updates. In his opinion, the victims would never be “concerned” about a new song or concert in the state they were in but were rather in need of all the support they could receive. Similarly, some artists have postponed their tours, concerts, song releases, and other announcements to sympathize with those concerned.             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Areva Martin (@arevamartin)   Beyonce’s contribution to the LA fires Beyonce, who had planned to make an announcement on January 14, did not speak about it because of the fire updates in Los Angeles.

Betty White was adored and loved by many, petitions were even signed to get her to guest host ‘Saturday Night Live.’  However, not all reviews about her have been glowing. Sally Struthers, known for her role in All in the Family, recently decided to speak up about her less-than-positive experience with White. Struthers, who had long kept her feelings private, opened up about an encounter with White that she felt was hurtful during an interview on the “Let’s Talk About That! With Larry Saperstein and Jacob Bellotti” podcast. Now, after White’s death, Struthers felt it was the right time to share her side of the story. Sally Struthers shared that Betty White fat-shamed her Sally Struthers/Everett Sally Struthers recalled a specific instance that stood out during her time working with Betty White. The incident took place at a meeting about a new game show, a project they were both involved in. Struthers described the scene as she and others gathered to discuss the show when White asked her housekeeper to bring in a plate of snacks for everyone to enjoy. As Struthers reached for a cookie, White, in front of everyone in the room, allegedly made a comment that left Struthers uncomfortable. “Oh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you, dear. You don’t need a cookie,” White reportedly said, fat-shaming Struthers in a passive-aggressive tone. The remark shocked Struthers, who mentioned how hurtful it was for White to single her out in such a way. Struthers, who had already experienced weight-related comments throughout her career, found the remark particularly disheartening coming from someone she had hoped would be a professional peer, and she thought, “Gosh, that’s not nice.” Betty White/Everett Sally Struthers’ struggles with weight comments Weight-related comments have been a recurring theme in Sally Struthers’ career, and she shared how these remarks affected her, both personally and professionally. Another moment that stuck with her was when she was cast as Gloria Stivic on All in the Family. Struthers mentioned that All in the Family creator Norman Lear said she was not the funniest person to audition, so she asked him why he picked her. Lear told Struthers bluntly that her casting was based on her physical appearance. The producers assumed that Archie would be a lot to swallow for the American audiences with his bigotry and his social slurs. So, they decided to soften him up by giving him a soft spot for his daughter. “So, we hired you because, just like Carroll O’Connor, you have blue eyes and a fat face,” she concluded. Sally Struthers/Everett While Struthers had initially hoped for a more positive reason for her casting, she soon realized that her weight was a huge factor in the role she would play. Despite the challenges and hurtful comments, Struthers’ portrayal of Gloria earned her two Emmy Awards. Sally Struthers has also continued to thrive in her career.

It has been a week since wildfires began in Southern California, and fire experts and arson investigators have yet to discover exactly how it broke out, noting that it may take weeks or months to arrive at a definite conclusion. Although media outlets, residents, and social media users, including celebrities, have shared their thoughts about the origin of the disaster, there is no confirmation from official sources. More than 40,000 acres have been affected by the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires, with a death toll of up to 25 people across these areas. What may have caused the fires: LA fires update LA Fire/Instagram CNN analyzed satellite images and dispatch recordings showing that a separate fire began on New Year’s Day, and although it spread to about 8 acres, local firefighters were able to contain it. According to Professor Luca Carmignani of San Diego State University, who has studied wildfires, the lit debris from the New Year’s celebratory fireworks may have reignited due to the winds. Luca took care to warn that his statement is merely a speculation and should not be taken as fact. On the other hand, Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said during Sunday’s news conference that there is no proof that the two fires are connected. Officials give LA fires update, admit to slow progress with investigations For those wondering if the fires are still burning in California, the state website continues to give updates about the incident, showing important details like how many acres have been razed, what structures have been affected, and the number of fatalities. LA Fire/Instagram Like the fleeing residents and others concerned, fire officials cannot figure out why the fires are still burning in California, although 95 percent of outbreaks are caused by people through acts like arson, a backyard barbecue, fireworks celebrations, or a downed power line. According to retired Los Angeles County Sheriff’s arson investigator and profiler Ed Nordskog, figuring out the source of the wildfires is tedious, dirty, and not fun. The retired Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives fire investigator Mike Vergon— who also worked on the agency’s National Response Team in charge of large fires and explosions, echoed Ed’s sentiment, calling the investigations a monumental task. The Palisades fire containment team, including the ATF National Response, has begun assessing the area, which comes after Eaton as the second most destructive wildfire in Southern California history. LA Fire/Instagram Tim Jones of ATF is confident in the Palisades fire containment team and others, some of whom attended to New Orleans’ terror attack on New Year’s Day and a cyber truck explosion outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. The Palisades fire containment team requests patience as fires continue to burn in California Judging by recent updates from the Palisades fire containment team and investigators, it is unrealistic to expect answers anytime soon. For example, the 2023 wildfires in Maui did not receive a definite report until a year later, and a worse case like that of Southern California may take even longer. Although a few arrests have been made, retired ATF fire investigator Dixon Robin says evidence left behind by arsonists will be damaged but useful for investigation. The Palisades fire containment is still at 17% per the latest updates, and there has been an official warning about stronger winds to surrounding residents. Being a highbrow part of Southern California, many famous people who live there have had to evacuate. LA Fire/Instagram The likes of Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, Tom Hanks, Ricki Lake, Mandy Moore, couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Kate Beckinsale, and many more have had to bid their property a painful goodbye as the inferno razed them down. Fans and fellow celebrities have shown their support on and off social media through volunteer acts, donations, and calling for funding.
