Alan Cumming offers 10k reward to help find missing chimpanzee

Alan Cumming has offered a $10,000 reward to find his missing chimpanzee co-star.

The 57-year-old actor has teamed up with animal rights organisation PETA to help track down Tonka, a creature he became “good friends” with after filming 1997 family comedy ‘Buddy’ – which was based on the real-life story of 1920s socialite Gertrude Lintz, who raised monkeys as part of her family – because the primate has mysteriously disappeared.

Alan said in a statement “During the months we filmed together, baby Tonka and I became good friends, playing and grooming each other and just generally larking about.

“It’s horrible to think he might be in a cage in a dark basement somewhere or have met some other fate, so I’m appealing to whoever knows what has become of him to please come forward and claim the reward.”

The ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ actor has pledged to match PETA’s $10,000 reward for information as to the whereabouts of the animal, raising the total to $20,000.

According to the organisation, Tonka was last seen at a cage at the former Missouri Primate Foundation – which was previously known as Chimparty – which they described as a “notorious, now-defunct breeding facility in Festus, Missouri that bred baby chimpanzees, rented them out for movies and parties, and sold them to private owners.”

PETA had previously sued the Missouri Primate Foundation over the living conditions of the chimpanzees houses there and were given permission to rescue seven chimps, including Tonka, and transfer them to a sanctuary.

But when they went to take the animals last July, Tonka had vanished and owner Tonia Haddix claimed he had “died”.

In January, a judge ruled the owner’s testimony was not credible and so the organisation have embarked on a hunt to track down Tonka.

PETA Foundation Deputy General Counsel for Captive Animal Law Enforcement Brittany Peet said in a statement: “If you know where Cumming’s former co-star may have been shipped to, sold, or hidden away, PETA wants to hear from you.

“If he’s still alive, Tonka deserves to live out the rest of his days surrounded by chimpanzee friends at a lush sanctuary, as ordered by the court, and someone out there might be able to help PETA get him there.”

Anyone with pertinent information should call PETA at 757-622-PETA or submit their tip at PETA.org/Tonka.

Madonna shared a cryptic message about “karma” and finding the “right” people in life after reports surfaced that she split from boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams.

“Karma said: When somebody in your life is not right for you….. god will continuously use them to hurt you until you become strong enough to let them go,” the Material Girl singer, 63, posted via her Instagram Stories on the same day the breakup rumors swirled.

Now that she and her much younger beau, 28, have apparently gone their separate ways, “Madonna has thrown herself into a busy social life and has been seeing her friends and family,” an insider told The Sun of their amicable choice to call it quits. She’s been “working on her upcoming biopic, new music and looking after her family.”

“They spent months together on tour and in lockdown, but now he has moved out of her home,” the source, mentioning they are both working on their own goals at this time. “It was hard to keep their romance alight.”

Madonna and Williams first sparked romance rumors when they were spotted cozying up on a balcony together in December 2019.

The pair crossed paths long before that, according to Williams’ dad, Drue, who said they hit it off in 2015 when his son auditioned for Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour.

The dancer’s father said she even invited them all to her lavish suite in Las Vegas and had her private chef cook his family dinner.

Madonna also invited his loved ones to her shows in London and France in early 2020 and things continued to heat up from there. In August 2021, the couple was seen touring Italy and packing on PDA while celebrating her 63rd birthday.

During the trip, the Like A Virgin songstress was also spotted grabbing a meal with her kids Lourdes Leon, Rocco Ritchie, and her twins, Stella and Estere.

Madonna and Williams appeared to be in relationship bliss when they were last photographed together on a romantic dinner date in January. They were joined by her son David.

Guys explain why their gay best friend is not their boyfriend

Gay friends

Much to the dismay of meddling would-be matchmakers everywhere, gay guys are capable of platonic relationships with other gay guys. Shocking as it may seem, not all gay friendships lead to love or sex.

But it’s natural to wonder: When two besties have compatible sexual orientations, then what, specifically, stops them from hooking up?

That’s what one user of Reddit’s r/AskGayMen forum wanted to know recently. “What is it about your best gay male friend that makes them unfit to be your boyfriend?” that user asked. “I’m always curious to ask this because you get such interesting and sometimes wild answers.”

Indeed you do! Here’s a selection of (lightly edited) responses from that Reddit thread, which shows how sexual compatibility gets outweighed by other (sometimes very particular) incompatibilities.

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle1”); );

“I’m not his type.”

“I’m not attracted to him.”

“We’re not each other’s type, physically [or] sexually, nor [are we] compatible as a couple, as we have different romantic needs. We’re better off as friends.”

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle2”); );

“We have known each other since we were 12; we are more like brothers. He also has a foot fetish, and I don’t have legs.”

“Distance, age, and despite being fantastic friends, we would kill each other if we dated. He’s also poly and has one boyfriend, and I’m not in a place where I could maintain a healthy poly relationship.”

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle3”); );

“Just totally incompatible romantically, lol”

“We’re basically opposite in most things, lol. The main one is that I am someone [who] needs a lot of independence and personal space/time, while he tends to be very emotionally dependent [on] his significant other, and I honestly couldn’t live with the responsibility.”

“He didn’t know who Carl Sagan was.”

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle4”); );

“He’s 100% not my type physically. There’s zero attraction. Also, we are too different in every sense of the word, which I love in friends because I like to hang with all sorts of people to get all sorts of perspectives on life, but I need my significant other to have a lot in common with me if we’re going to have a nice, easy, peaceful life together.”

“I would love to try a relationship with my gay best friend. I have never met someone so physically attractive, and he is just as beautiful of a person on the inside. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to excite him in the same way; he is content being friends. So he has one fatal flaw as far as boyfriend requirements: He does not want to jump my bones. I decided to remain friends, but his friendship is much like a bronze medal. I cherish it, but being with him is a constant, stinging reminder that I wasn’t good enough to get the gold. The day will come when some guy wins his heart, and I’m honestly not sure how I’ll handle that.”

“For one, I’m not his type, which is fine. But two, we are fine as friends, but what I would need from a relationship, I don’t think he could provide. I am more sensitive about things than I think he would be capable of dealing with—or, at least, dealing with in a way that would make me not feel like sh*t. At the friendship level, it’s not a problem. In an intimate partnership? It would be awful.”

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle5”); );

“We were friends before either of us came out. So, it would be like dating my brother.”

“As a friend, he’s pretty annoying sometimes. As a partner, I don’t think I could handle it. We’d also butt heads on politics, since we have vastly different ideologies. And he’s a Warhammer 40,000 fan, Warhammer fans are assholes. The more I think about it, the more I wonder why I hang out with this guy.”

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle6”); );

“Good friendship chemistry is hard to find. I’d be more likely to ruin an awesome friendship than gain a long-term relationship. But I’m already married, so it’s hypothetical.”

“He’s a fantastic friend—[he’s been] there when we’ve needed to talk, and we’ve been there when he needed to talk. He knows pretty much everything about us, and we know pretty much everything about him. Why would we ruin such a friendship by introducing sex into the relationship?”

“’Tis simple—because I want a gay male best friend that isn’t my boyfriend.”

AdBridg.cmd.push(function() AdBridg.display(“div-gpt-ad-inarticle7”); );

“We are both bottoms, lol.”

Megan Fox Reveals She’s Teaching 9-Year-Old Son About Gender Identity After He Started Wearing Dresses

Megan Foxis teaching her sons about gender identity after her oldest, Noah, 9, expressed repeated interest in wearing dresses. The 35-year-old actress opened up about her parenting style in an interview with Glamour U.K., revealing she and her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green, are doing everything they can to make sure nobody in their family “feels like they are weird or strange or different.”

“So they know that their parents are famous, but their knowledge of it is very limited. I knew when they were very young, I wanted to try to protect them however I could, especially limiting their exposure to the internet. So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever, though I do have a child that suffers,” she told the outlet.

“So I have a lot of worries about that, because I just wish that humanity was not like this,” Fox admitted. “Although my kid is so brave and my child is so brave and I know that they’ve chosen this journey for a reason. It’s just hard as a mom.”

Noah “started wearing dresses when he was about two,” and Fox immediately began educating her family. The Transformers star told Glamour U.K. that she “bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is.”

Revealing that some of the literature was written by transgender children, Fox added, “Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn’t even have to have anything to do with your sexuality.”

While Fox has been doing everything to educate her children at home, the actress confessed she has to let go when they step out into the world.

“I can’t control the way other people react to my children. I can’t control the things that other children – that they go to school with – have been taught and then repeat to them. That’s also why I don’t really put my children on Instagram or social media,” Fox explained.

Still, she expressed her desire for others to look beyond gender identity.

“I’m so proud of my kids. Noah is an unbelievable pianist. He can learn Mozart’s concerto in an hour,” Fox said. “I want people to see that, but I also don’t want the world to have access to this gentle soul and say all the things that we all know they’re going to say.”

In 2019, she discussed Noah’s desire to wear dresses, adding he had started incorporating them into his school wardrobe.

“He just wore one two days ago to school, and he came home and I was like, ‘How was it? Did any of the friends at school have anything to say?’ ” Fox recalled at the time. “And he was like, ‘Well, all the boys laughed when I came in, but I don’t care, I love dresses too much.’”

Fox shares three sons with Green. Besides Noah, the divorced duo also shareJourney River, 5, Bodhi Ransom, 8. The ex’s finalized their divorce earlier this year.

Fox is already engaged to Machine Gun Kelly.Green revealed he’s expecting a baby with his girlfriend, Sharna Burgess.
