‘Walking Dead’ actor to
adopt bonded donkey, emu
A North Carolina animal rescue group
says that thanks to “The Walking Dead”
actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, a donkey and
an emu who’ve bonded with each other can
stay together.
The Charlotte Observer reports Carolina
Waterfowl Rescue Founder Jennifer Gor
don says Morgan is adopting them Tuesday.
Morgan plays the villainous Negan on the
TV zombie thriller.
Jack and Diane were rescued from Ker
shaw, South Carolina, when their owner
vanished. Gordon says they cuddle and
sleep together, but cried and became fran
tic when they were separated.
Gordon says a post about the complexi
ties of adopting them out together sparked
more than 2,000 inquiries, including Mor
gan’s. She says Morgan was the best choice
since he has resources to care for the pair
and they can roam free on his Hudson Val
ley, New York, farm.
Drake dominates Apple Music
as top-streamed artist in 2018
Drake was a dominate force on Apple

Davidson addresses bullying
after Ariana Grande breakup
Pete Davidson says he’s not going to
“kill myself.”
Davidson is breaking his silence in an
Instagram post following his short-lived
engagement with Ariana Grande.
The 25-year-old “Saturday Night Live”
cast member says he’s been getting bul
lied online and in public for nine months.
But Davidson says he’s spoken about being
suicidal publicly “only in the hopes that
it will bring awareness and help kids like
myself who don’t want to be on this earth.”
Davidson writes, “No matter how hard
the internet or anyone tries to make me
kill myself, I won’t.”
Grande responded that she cares
“deeply about Pete and his health.” She
asked people “to please be gentler with
others.”
Grande references the failed engage
ment in her new hit, “Thank U, Next.”

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
Self-worth and net worth are
not interchangeable values.
For you, this fact is a no-
brainer. For some others you
know, it will take time and life
experience to learn — bear
with them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Maybe it’s not, as they say, “all
good,” but there is little time to
waste rejecting the parts that
aren’t. It is “much good,” and it
will take a while to count all this
goodness. Take your time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ve an even temper much
of the time, but this shouldn’t
be taken for a steadfast rule.
When your passion is stirred, it
will surprise and impress all.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Status is important, but it’s
never been your high priority.
Right now there are a hundred
things you care much more
about than looking good to the
neighbors. Because you’re not
worried about status, your sta
tus rises.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Does
the world seem to be in disar
ray? Sometimes it’s our way
of mentally ordering informa
tion that makes it confusing.
A teacher can help us find an
other point of view — one that
will bring context and clarity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Cheerfulness is charming.
As you continue to make
optimism your default, you
cultivate even greater powers
of enchantment and become a
charismatic influencer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23).
Wisdom comes out of adver
sity. Hardship is the greatest
teacher. But you don’t have
hardship now. The second
greatest teachers are people
you don’t agree with. Learn
where they’re coming from and
become wise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
There will be conflicts, mostly
one of your responsibilities
clashing with another of more or
less importance. Put it all on pa
per. That’s how you’ll sort it out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). What are you doing on
a daily basis to support your
emotional and spiritual health?
What are you doing every day
to prove that you love your
self? “Excellence is not an act,
but a habit.” — Aristotle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’re making plans. Ideally,
you’d include everyone, but
this might not be possible.
Don’t worry, the right people
will show up, which is to say
the people who most need to
be a part of this.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’ve been on a learning
curve, but now you’re getting
the swing of things and it’s all
starting to flatten out a bit. En
joy the successful feeling that
comes with hitting your stride.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You’re in the mood to share,
and you have much to give.
Presentation will be key. It’s not
the face value, but the spirit in
which a thing is given that re
ally counts.
