TODAY IN HISTORY

In 1969, the U.S. Air Force closed its Project “Blue Book” by

CELEBRITY REPORT
‘Saturday Night Live’ star has
police visit after Instagram post
New York City police were concerned
about Pete Davidson after he wrote “I don’t
want to be on this earth anymore” on Insta
gram. And they visited the “Saturday Night
Live” star to make sure he was OK.
A police spokesman declined to say where
officers met with Ariana Grande’s
ex-fiance on Saturday. But his Ins
tagram posting was deleted and
NBC did not cancel its live show.
On the show, Davidson intro
duced a performance of John
Lennon’s song “Happy Xmas
(War is Over)” by musical guests
Miley Cyrus, Mark Ronson and
Sean Ono Lennon.
What alarmed Davidson’s fans and
authorities was the tone of the entertainer’s
post: “I’m doing my best to stay here for you
but I actually don’t know how much longer
I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help
people. Just remember I told you so.” He
added a heart emoji.
Social media erupted with words of love
for the 25-year-old comedian and native
New Yorker who first appeared on “Satur
day Night Live” in 2014. And his name is
trending on Twitter.
One admirer tweeted “hang in there.
There is a lot of help out here. Surrender to
some love ... I’m praying for you Pete. I’ve
been there. It gets better.”
Earlier this month, Davidson wrote on
Instagram that he has spoken about bor
derline personality disorder from which
he says he suffers, “and being suicidal pub
licly only in the hopes that it will help
bring awareness and help kids like
myself who don’t want to be on
this earth.
“No matter how hard the
internet or anyone tries to make
me kill myself. I won’t. I’m upset
I even have to say this.”
Davidson and Grande were
engaged in June, but broke up ear
lier this fall.
In November, Davidson apologized for
mocking the appearance of a veteran who
lost an eye in Afghanistan.
He said Lt. Com. Dan Crenshaw, now a
congressman-elect from Texas, “deserves
all the respect in the world.”
On SNL’s “Weekend Update” segment,
Davidson was joined by Crenshaw, a Navy
SEAL.
Davidson had mocked Crenshaw a week
earlier, saying viewers might be surprised
he’s “not a hit man in a porno movie.”

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
Are you the influencer, or is the
other person? Bigger question:
Does it matter? You’re both
influential, so don’t even worry
about it. Do you and see what
happens.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
rules of acceptable conduct
are constantly changing, and
you are fantastic at keeping
abreast of the situation, test
ing, observing and tracking
what works and what doesn’t.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
What once caused you stress
is no longer a problem. You’ve
grown, the situation has
shrunk — something like that!
A smooth transaction will be
the first sign of progress.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You read people. That’s your
thing. Except don’t get too as
sumptive in this regard today,
because people will surprise
you with their idiosyncrasies
and pivots.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Quest
ing can be more of an activity
than the solution to a problem.
It’s pretty fun to go looking for
things, more fun than, say, tak
ing care of the stuff you already
have. Before you embark,
make sure you don’t already
have what you seek.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Take
out the emotional part and
matters of finance are, at their
root, just math. So why is it
nearly impossible to take out
the emotional part? Because
maybe this isn’t about money
after all. So what’s it really
about?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23).
You’re not interested in sur
rounding yourself with yes
people, yet to be an effective
leader, the team must follow
you at least some of the time.
Pick your times, and make
your requests.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’re here, and your mind is
over there. That’s fine for mo
mentary flights of fancy, but it’s
no way to live — because your
senses, though they may be
partly engaged in fantasy and
future, are only fully alive where
you are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). As the sign of the archer,
it’s always better when you
have a clear aim. Make some
goals just for the fun of it. If you
don’t have a target, you rob
yourself of the satisfaction you
get from hitting it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’ll be involved with a task
that’s a lot like a boomerang.
It will keep coming back with
more to do. Ready to stop?
There’s never one last throw
without one last catch. When
you have it in your hand, set it;
don’t throw it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When people are ready to
learn, it happens easily and
quickly. Ideally, your student
will be ready. But if not, there’s
a little more work to do. Get
ting people ready to learn is
part of the learning process.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If
you had to, you could get by
on your charms. But that’s not
you. You want to do something
useful, make a concrete contri
bution, feel the tensile strength
of your connections. Charm —
that’s your cherry on top.
