Richard Simmons "Disappearance" - Just A Scam?
By Tony Hicks
Richard Simmons is “perfectly fine,” according to Los Angeles police, despite stories cir- culating that his longtime absence from public life is due to a house- keeper holding him hostage.
Authorities recently did a welfare check on the 68-year-old fitness guru and apparently were sat- isfied that he’s OK. Simmons hasn’t been seen in public since 2014, accord- ing to the Huffington Post.
A popular new pod- cast, called “Missing
Richard Simmons,” by Dan Taberski, recently broadcast an interview with Simmons’ former assistant, who made the accusa- tion of him being geld hostage.
Detective Kevin Becker said the allegation was “garbage.”
Obviously, he’s part of the conspiracy. Or is he?
“There was some- thing about his housekeeper hold- ing him hostage and not allowing people to see him and pre- venting him from making phone calls, and it was all
garbage, and that’s why we went out to see him,” Becker told People maga- zine. “None of it is true. The fact of the matter is, we went out and talked to him, he is fine, nobody is holding him hostage. He is doing exactly what he wants to do. If he wants to go out in public or see any- body, he will do that.”
“He is perfectly fine and he is very happy. I don’t know what he is going to do, but right now he is doing what he wants to do and it is his business.”
Nike Has A New Product For MuslimWomen: The "Pro Hijab"
by Zahraa Alkhalisi @CNNMoney
Nike will soon begin selling a perform- ance hijab for Muslim women ath- letes.
The head cover, called the "Nike Pro Hijab," boasts a sin- gle-layer pull-on design made from lightweight polyester in dark, neutral col- ors. The fabric's tiny holes will make it breathable while remaining opaque, a requirement for hijab-wearing women.
Nike (NKE) said it began developing the hijab after some Muslim athletes
complained about wearing a traditional head scarf during competition.
The design process took 13 months, and the final product will be available for sale in the company's Spring 2018 sea- son.
Nike said the hijab is already being worn by Emirati fig- ure skater Zahra Lari.
"I was thrilled and a bit emotional to see Nike prototyping a Hijab," Lari said in a statement. "I've tried so many different hijabs for perform- ance, and ... so few of them actually work for me. But onceIputitonand took it for a spin on
the ice, I was blown away by the fit and the light weight."
The move comes just weeks after a controversial Nike ad released in the Middle East.
It featured five suc- cessful female pro- fessional from differ- ent parts of the Arab world pursing their athletic dreams while a voice asks, "what will they say about you?" It's a rhetorical question that many young Arab women face if they step out of cul- tural and traditional norms.
The video went viral with million of views on social media, prompting a debate over its message.
