CELEBRITY REPORT Former CIA head Brennan writing memoir, due in 2020 John O. Brennan, the former CIA director and longtime intelligence official, is working on a memoir. Celadon Books, a division of Macmillan Publishers, confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that it had acquired Brennan’s book. According to Celadon, Bren nan will cover his more than 30 years in gov ernment under Republican and Democratic presidents, including his time as CIA direc tor from 2013-2017. The book is currently untitled and scheduled to come out in 2020. “For many years, John Brennan has been a witness to, and participant in, key moments in recent American history, includ ing such pivotal events as the first Gulf war, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Arab Spring, the hunt for Bin Laden, and Russia’s aggres sive efforts to undermine U.S. national security,” Celadon president and publisher Jamie Raab said in a statement. “His mem oir promises to provide candid accounts of the milestones and events that have shaped his life and career, as well as the lessons in integrity and leadership that have always informed his actions.” Brennan, 63, has become a prominent critic of President Trump, who in August said he was revoking Brennan’s security clear ance. Earlier this week, Brennan responded to Trump’s ongoing attacks against special counsel Robert Mueller by tweeting that the president’s “feelings of inferiority, insecu rity, vulnerability, and culpability are loud & clear. ” Brennan wrote that Trump reminded him “of how many corrupt authoritarian leaders abroad behaved before they were deposed.” Brennan himself was a controversial figure before the Trump administration. His appointment by Barack Obama as CIA director was challenged by the ACLU and other civil liberties and human rights advo cates over his central role in Obama’s use of drones to kill suspected terrorists and his time with the CIA during the George W. Bush administration, when suspects were sent to other countries and tortured — what was sometimes called “enhanced interrogation.” Stevie Wonder announces plan to help wildfire victims Stevie Wonder wants to raise money through his benefit concert for California fire victims impacted by the catastrophic wildfires. The R&B legend announced his plan Tuesday to also help firefighters and first responders who assisted with the fires through his 22nd annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert on Dec. 9. The charity billed as “The Stevie Wonder Song Party: A Cele bration of Life, Love & Music” will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Concertgoers are being asked to bring an unwrapped toy or other gift. “We have to do our best to raise money for those that have been so less fortunate, for those that have lost dreams, lost their homes,” he said. “I am very happy to do this again this year but very, very, very excited to do something to help those in a bigger sense the less fortunate.” Wonder said his foundation House Full of Hope along with the Entertainment Industry Foundation will also help raise money for those affected by the wildfire. Nearly 90 people were killed in the mas sive wildfires as thousands have been dis placed from their homes. After his announcement, Wonder per formed a few songs including “My Che- rie Amour,” “’The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)” and “Golden Lady.” Wonder also spoke on the importance of taking care of the planet. “I know we’re dealing with a drought,” he said. “There are some who don’t believe in global warming. I do. We have to protect the planet. We have to be cognizant of what we do.... I pray that all of us, even those who are non-believers, understand that if we don’t love and take care of our planet, we won’t have it.” Associated Press AROUND TOWN TODAY Energy Assistance Program. 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ninth District Opportunity, Inc., 615 Oak St., Suite C, Gainesville. 855-636-3108.

It can take courage to live even the most ordinary daily exis tence. But it shouldn’t be that way all of the time. There’s so much good that will happen naturally today. It’s safe to go forward with defenses low, mind calm. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Not all discomfort is good, but since discomfort is also the price of admission to a worthwhile and interesting life, it can’t be all bad. Today, ev erything in the “worthwhile and interesting” category will be outside the comfort zone. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you taste happiness it makes you want more and more happiness, but happi ness doesn’t work that way. Strange things happen when happiness compounds on itself. Savor sweet moments sans greed. Greed is ruinous. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a gentle rage simmer ing in you today. This has to do with setting something right, not only for you, but for the others and for everyone after. Until there is justice for all, there is justice for none. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It can take a very long time to form the foundation, products and momentum necessary to be come an “overnight” success. Keep building, little by little, day by day, every single day — no skipping. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Tell people about your interests and hobbies because letting people know what you’re all about is a form of self-love. It allows for the world to mold to you a bit instead of you always having to mold to the world. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You’re culling from all these different inspirations and re sources and nothing is really fitting together to point you in a particular direction. That’s OK. This won’t be a linear path. Zig now, zag later. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). At traction can happen naturally, or can be created through careful calculations and ap plied formulas intended to cre ate specific results. Just know which kind of attraction you’re dealing with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re thinking of going to the next level with an endeavor. Would you still do it if no one else in the world knew about your expertise? That’s how you know it’s worth your time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You don’t have to apologize for taking care of someone you love, especially if that person is you. Anyone who stands in the way of your self-care is be ing unloving. Don’t be guilted into neglecting what matters to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Feeling special isn’t about owning the best things, getting the attention of a lot of people or having the love of one per son. It’s about believing in your own specialness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Should you display your solidarity or your independent thought? Yes to both. Timing is the thing. Pay attention to sense when to meld with the group and when to enhance it through your uniqueness.
