Celebrity Status – Box Office, Baby News, Swifties, Tonys And Ramsay
For Monday, June 17th:
Gordon Ramsay is promoting the benefits of wearing a bicycle helmet after landing in the hospital. He had a bad accident while riding his bike in CT. He said, “I’m doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff who looked after me, but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life.” I’m sure the people who had to make his meals were sweating bullets!
