Actor Tom Selleck leaves $2,020 tip at Upper East Side restaurant

By
NEW YORK - "Magnum, P.I." actor Tom Selleck left a $2,020 tip at a New York City restaurant ahead of 2021.
Actor Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Selleck's son on the TV series "Blue Bloods," shared the news in a Tuesday tweet. "I found out that my TV Dad [Tom Selleck] has generously accepted the #2020TipChallenge at Elios Upper East Side! Love ya dad," Wahlberg wrote. "I didn’t start it but I’m proud to be part of it. To those who gave even the smallest extra amount this year — THANK YOU." Wahlberg shared photos of the tip and a note Selleck left for his server. "For Elios, I am honoring my friend Donnie Wahlberg's 'tip challenge' with my sincere hope for a better 2020. Thank you all," the note from Selleck reads. Wahlberg told People magazine that Selleck "never mentioned it" to him, and that the two have "done three [Blue Bloods] dinner scenes since he did it, and he never told me."

His wife, Jenny Wahlberg, posted a photo to Twitter on Jan. 1 of a $2,020 tip from Wahlberg written on a receipt for a $78 meal, saying he was "starting 2020 off like the amazing man he is." Wahlberg, his wife, and countless others, including celebrities like Harry Styles, have continued the trend throughout the year, as seen on social media. The "challenge" to leave a $2,020 -- or otherwise generous tip -- seems to have originated in Alpena, Mich., where waitress Danielle Franzoni received a $2,020 tip from a stranger along with a note that said, "Happy New Year," and, "2020 Tip Challenge," according to The Alpena News.

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

By
If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

By
  Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic.

‘Blue Bloods’: Is the Show Starting to Become Too Boring?

By
After 10 seasons, any show might start to show some sense of writer fatigue, which may say a lot about how long dramas and comedies should run. In the case of Blue Bloods , the show has stayed compelling for a decade. That is, until this season where fans now think the show hit a wall of stagnation. “Warriors”– Frank (Tom Selleck), Linda (Amy Carlson) and Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) enjoy a Reagan Sunday family dinner, on BLUE BLOODS, Friday, Feb. 15 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Photo: Jojo Whilden ©2013 CBS Broadcasting Inc. Reddit some proof of Blue Bloods arguably faltering a little, maybe due to the above-mentioned writer burnout . Is this perception for real, or should the fans just be patient until things get better? One thing for sure is this might be the final season to appreciate one of the greatest dramas on TV. Season 10 seems to be off to a slow start Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck | Jojo Whilden/CBS via Getty Images One of...
