A: My wife, Julie, said, “Why don’t you get a bunch of the people that you love to sing your songs with you for a new record?” That sounded like Christmas to me, so I dove right in.

Author Mark Pendergrast shares a few nuggets from his book For God, Country & Coca-Cola.

Coke originated in 1886 as a tonic for neurasthenia, a mysterious condition marked by anxiety.

John Wayne

BOOK | For any fan of this cinematic legend, John Wayne: The Genuine Article is a striking piece of nostalgia. Complete with rare photos, classic film stills, letters from movie stars and presidents, interviews with family and friends, and a moving preface by one of Wayne’s sons, this beautifully made coffee-table book creates a sort of visual biography of Duke’s extraordinary life, onscreen and off. ($50)

The company made enough novelty items in 1913 to supply everyone who’d lived in the U.S. since 1650.

During WWII, Coke was deemed an essential morale booster and exempted from sugar rationing.

Coca-Cola is reputedly the secondbest-known word on the planet, after okay.

Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy

talk comedy, kids, and the lasting bond they formed on the set of their new movie, The Heat

PHOTO CREDITS WILL GO HERE AS SHOWN

ollywood friendship: It can’t be real, right? Nah, it’s all just air-kissing and “Love your work” and “Let’s do lunch.” At least, that’s what you might expect—until you spend some time with Sandra Bullock, 48, and Melissa McCarthy, 42. Since they ﬁrst met, on the riotous buddy-cop comedy The Heat (in theaters June 28), the costars have developed the kind of camaraderie that even Oscar and Emmy winners can’t fake. They ﬁnish each other’s sentences, make detailed, thoughtful observations about each other’s kids, and rib each other mercilessly. On the Boston set of The Heat last summer, “they were inseparable,” says Paul Feig, who directed the actresses in their roles as an uptight FBI agent (Bullock) and a freewheeling Beantown detective (McCarthy) who are forced to partner on a case. “Normally after movies, those friendships go away,” adds Feig, who also worked with McCarthy on Bridesmaids. “Theirs blossomed.” Back in L.A., Bullock and her 3-year-old son, Louis, went trick-or-treating on Halloween with McCarthy’s husband, actor JUNE 9, 2013 | 7

What are they?

Construction and house renovation. MCCARTHY: We’re bonkers for it. BULLOCK: The minute they’d say, “And cut,” we’d bolt to our little chairs, ﬂip open our iPads, and look at magazines. “I’m tearing down a wall; do you think we should do the window here?” We’re kindred spirits in that world. If we had a beer den, with Barcaloungers—but our version of that—it’d be great. MCCARTHY: There’d be fabric swatches everywhere. And reclaimed wood. BULLOCK:

PARADE:

So you didn’t know each other before making this ﬁlm? BULLOCK:

No. We have friends in

common. MCCARTHY: When

people found out we were doing this thing, I got between 12 and 15 calls saying, “You’re about to meet the greatest girl in the world.” BULLOCK: That’s awfully sweet. MCCARTHY: Did you set them up? Maybe you told people to call … BULLOCK: No, I don’t know that many people. Before I signed on, I talked to Melissa. Hearing her voice and how calm and happy and sweet [she was] ... it was like talking to a friend who got what it was all about. We’re extremely similar in how we enjoy ourselves in life. We have two different working styles, but once we ﬁgured that out, the rhythm of it was perfect for the characters. What are those different styles?

The ﬁrst week, I was like, “What is she doing? That’s not in the script.” I was the lone actor, jack-of-one-trade, in a room full of improv actors and stand-up comedians. I mean, you should just listen to the stuff that comes out of her mouth. It’s either mental illness or genius.

BULLOCK:

get together and things go crazy.” I’ve always wanted to do a female buddy ﬁlm, the kind the guys get to do. This didn’t have anything to do with getting a guy, and it didn’t involve shoe shopping. It was about two human beings who are great at what they do struggling to gain the other’s acceptance. I’d seen Bridesmaids, and I said, “If Melissa McCarthy wants to work with me …” MCCARTHY: You did not say that! BULLOCK: I swear I did. BULLOCK:

MCCARTHY: When I do go crazy, they’ll quote this interview, where you were like, “Maybe it’s mental illness.” Ohhhh. She knew! BULLOCK: I believe that every human being has mental challenges. I know what my issues are … but yours are just profound. And they’re so good at making money for you—it’s fantastic.

Were you excited about working together?

Before I knew you— don’t listen, I don’t want you to get cocky—I was asked in an interview who I thought was funny, and I said you. Because you know what? I don’t think you have any pride. BULLOCK: She means in work! MCCARTHY: I love to watch someone who just goes for it and isn’t worried about whether it’s silly or awkward or unﬂattering. And I really liked the script. I liked that they were good characters. I had no interest in doing “Two dingbats MCCARTHY:

Were your kids on the set in Boston?

The kids were everywhere. Outside in our little trailer park it was a kids’ wonderland. MCCARTHY: We were right across from the children’s museum, and they had a hip-hop dance class that they went to and loved. BULLOCK: Louis was like her third BULLOCK:

How much have you been able to hang out together as families? BULLOCK: Well, when she returns my calls … I’m sorry, this week you’ve been amazing. MCCARTHY: As you’re still texting to Sandy, she’s texting you back. As you’re hitting send, she already has a very thought-out Part-1a-of-Section-2b response. BULLOCK: I don’t want an opportunity to go missing because of my lack of organization. MCCARTHY: Ben and I live like hermits. The night of a concert, we’ll be like, “Do you think we can get tickets?” And everybody is like, “No, why didn’t you do this earlier?” But you’re the complete opposite. You do it 16 months out.

He would put his arms around their shoulders or go in front of them and block them if he didn’t like something. He was running security. BULLOCK: Having kids connected us on a deeper level. And the things we’re obsessed with outside of being a mom are the same, too.

BULLOCK: Every single second of every single day. MCCARTHY: It plagues me. I feel intensely guilty for working. In my memory, my mom and dad were constantly there. But in reality my dad worked in Chicago for the Belt Railway arguing arbitration cases, and my mom was a secretary. We were all so happy that I didn’t register that they worked. You have to be able to provide for your kids. But I feel like it’s a weird modern phenomenon that you always feel guilty for it. BULLOCK: I don’t know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I’m always plagued with, did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction? But I also know that my entire life revolves around Louis. As long

as he knows the minute he walks in the room that he is the most amazing creature I’ve ever met, everything else is pretty much … you can’t do anything about it. Does fame create problems for you? What about paparazzi? MCCARTHY: Strangers shouldn’t be allowed to take a picture of your child and sell it for proﬁt. They think, “We’re putting out a product,” but you’re putting out a child. BULLOCK: We’re adults, and we’re fair game—not that I like being photographed going in and out of school in my sweatpants. But I instinctively throw things over Louis’s head. I’m nearsighted, so he spots them much earlier than

I do, and he doesn’t like them. He gives them the stink-eye, and they’re like, “That’s such an angry kid,” but I look at them and say, “Only when you guys are around.” Aside from that, do you think it’s different, or more difﬁcult, raising kids in Hollywood?

I don’t raise Louis in Hollywood. I raise him in my world. To me the good thing about living in L.A. is diversity in lifestyle choices, color, and religion. I want Louis to look around and see every color under the sun. I also have the luxury of splitting my time between L.A. and Austin. [When I meet other parents], there’s so much baggage that comes with what I do. I go, “Try not to read into what you’ve read, because this is the woman I am. I’m Louis’s mom.” MCCARTHY: Ben and I have absolutely nothing to do with the Hollywood that’s all actors and the Sunset Strip. We crave talking to people who do different things and are passionate about it. We have some of the most rock-solid, lovely friends in the world. BULLOCK: When she and Ben invite you into their circle, you’re like, “This is going to be great!” To see a couple that has fun, that supports each other— that’s what I love about them. They have that electricity; they look at each other and you think, “There’s not just laughing going on in that house.” MCCARTHY: I like him. I’m gonna keep him.

STORIES

gave a bit and he could wedge his body in to pry it open. Then Gabby and Austyn scrambled in, grabbing Matt’s clothes and dragging him out. With a kid under each arm, Matt stumbled to safety. Brad followed behind, feeling a rush of heat as ﬂames engulfed the truck. “Even together, those two kids aren’t my size,” says Matt, 49, his voice cracking at the memory. “No doubt, they saved my life.” Later that night, the crash got Brad thinking about life, death, and fate. “When I came home from prison, I didn’t know how to make things right,” Brad says. “I prayed: Just give me a chance to show people I’ve changed … that I’m a good person.” As Brad replayed the rescue in his mind, he wondered, Could this be my chance?

Local Heroes

Brad Ray and his kids saved one man’s life. Turns out their own lives were saved, too. BY SCOTT WESTCOTT

he afternoon of March 28, 2012, was one of those roll-down-the-windows spring days in Fostoria, Ohio, as Brad Ray drove home from the county courthouse. Yet even the bright sunshine couldn’t lighten his mood. Brad, daughter Gabby, 18, and son Austyn, 16, were returning from a hearing where a judge had ordered Austyn to perform 16 hours of community service for punching a classmate. Brad knew the sentence could have been much harsher, but the court scene was just another reminder of the family’s troubles. Brad, 37, and his wife, Jaime, 36, had recently been released from prison after serving several years for growing marijuana. Though the family was finally back together, times were tough. Brad couldn’t land steady work. Austyn got in frequent fights, and his grades were dismal. Gabby, who had gotten pregnant while her parents were in prison, was struggling to make it as a single mom in high school. And adding to Brad’s frustration that day: They were running late to pick up Jaime from work. As their car rounded a sharp curve, Brad and the kids heard a loud bang and then came upon a horrific car crash. Brad slammed on the brakes and jumped out of his car. “This little black sedan looked like a dinosaur

had stomped on the front end,” Brad says. “Somehow the driver had gotten out. He was sitting on the side of the road, saying, ‘There’s a guy in that truck.’ ” Brad sprinted toward the smoking and mangled pickup. “I was thinking, no way this guy is alive. I yelled to the kids, ‘Stay back!’ ” says Brad, but Gabby and Austyn were right behind him. Inside the truck, Matt Sterling, dazed and bleeding, was struggling against the crushed driver-side door. He had been

headed to Kathy’s Korner, the restaurant in Arcadia, Ohio, that he runs with his wife, Rachel. After impact, his truck rolled twice before settling on its tires in a corn-stubble field. At 6-foot-2 and 280 pounds, Matt is a strong man, but he couldn’t budge the door. “It’s okay, we’ll get you out,” Brad told him, then bolted around to the passenger side, which was also jammed. “Then I saw flames under the truck—the whole underside was on fire,” Brad says. “I knew we didn’t have much time.” A former amateur boxer, Brad pulled on the door with all his might until it finally

rad says the downward spiral for his family began in 2005 after the death of his grandfather. “He was more like a father to me,” Brad says. “Everything I knew about being a man and a good person, I’d learned from him.” He began self-medicating with alcohol, then drugs. His home-improvement business foundering, Brad started growing marijuana in his basement to make ends meet. When the cops came knocking one August morning in 2007 to bust him and Jaime, it was front-page news in tiny Fostoria. With both parents serving prison sentences, the kids bounced from one family member to another. Meanwhile Brad and Jaime tried to hold their marriage together through handwritten letters and three

15-minute phone calls each year. “I had lost everything,” Brad says. “My only goal in prison was to rebuild myself and be the person my kids needed to succeed.” Yet after Brad and Jaime were released, they found that no one wanted to hire an ex-con full time. Every day, Brad battled to stay sober and resist his old troubled ways. “I had to wake up each morning and say, ‘Today I am going to make some good happen,’ ” he says. Then came the crash. As local news reports chronicled the heroic actions, Brad sensed

“I PRAYED: JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW THAT I’M A GOOD PERSON.” a shift. Folks in town who’d previously whispered under their breath when Brad walked by now shook his hand and thanked him. Austyn says teachers and kids at school saw him in a new light. “People seemed to respect me, and I started caring about my grades,” Austyn says. “I guess I realized that I ﬁnally had what I wanted—a dad I could be proud of.” Meanwhile, an unlikely friendship blossomed between Brad’s and Matt Sterling’s families. Jaime got a job as a waitress at Kathy’s Korner, and when Gabby graduated from high school with honors last June, the Sterlings’ gift was a fully catered party. “To be able to call Matt a

friend has been huge,” Brad says. “A positive role model has been sent back into my life.” Brad still hasn’t landed a full-time job, but in the meantime, he’s picking up more steady work, fixing roofs, laying blacktop, and putting up drywall. And he has used his newfound status to pursue his longtime dream—starting Fostoria Area Boxing, an after-school program that runs on a shoestring budget at a local gym. “A lot of these kids come from very tough situations, and I want to give them confidence and hope,” Brad says. “But as much as this helps them, it’s not half as much as it helps me. When I’m here, I’m not an ex-con. I am just Coach.” Brad, Gabby, and Austyn have received “Certificates of Heroism” from the city of Fostoria and official recognition from the Wood County Sheriff Department. They appreciate the awards, but it’s the gold “guardian angel” pendants that Matt gave each of them that they treasure. “It may sound strange to say that I’m glad to be part of this, but it’s how I feel,” Matt says. “Go through the story and you can only conclude that what happened that day was meant to change lives for the better.” As for Brad, he’s now a firm believer that prayers can be answered in unexpected ways. “Turns out, we weren’t late the day of the crash,” Brad says. “We were on God’s time. We were exactly where we were supposed to be, when we were supposed to be there.”

SPECIAL REPORT

The

Youth

Hormone... Everyone’s talking about it. But can it really reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten sex drive, give you plenty of energy, get rid of wrinkles and tighten saggy skin?

Barbara just had another birthday.

She watches her diet, exercises when she can,

and is in pretty good shape. In fact, she could be the poster child for the “Fountain of Youth” headline we see on the covers of fashion mags around the globe. What’s her secret? It’s not just the occasional Botox, peel or ﬁller, or even her assortment of skin creams that could rival the anti-aging section of your local Sephora. Barbara, who was always “cutting edge,” has become a believer in what is fast becoming the most popular (if not the most expensive) anti-aging treatment in the USA… Growth Hormone Therapy. – By Tiffany Strobel* t seems everyone is talking about human growth hormone lately. No less than the famed Dr. Oz began a recent show by asking his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right now?” Allure magazine, in its “Anti-aging Special” issue, highlighted growth hormone as its 2013 call-out. Shape magazine began a recent growth hormone article with the provocative lead in: “When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her

youthful glow.” Fox News, The Today Show, CNN, ABC, and CBS have all contributed to the current frenzy.

VANITY FAIR says: “A 20-year-old produces more than twice as much hGH as [she] will when [she’s] 40... hGH, by turning back the body clock, turns back the aging process.” © PARADE Publications 2013. All rights reserved.

Dr. Oz says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A recent study [on SeroVital-hgh] showed patients given a special blend of amino acids saw their hGH levels spike more than 6 times...â&#x20AC;? Why all the fuss? Simple. hGH disciplesâ&#x20AC;Ś and to many like Barbara, hGH therapy is truly a religious experience... believe hGH can help reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten sex drive, give them plenty of energy, get rid of wrinkles and tighten saggy skinâ&#x20AC;Ś making them look and feel decades â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not years, but decades â&#x20AC;&#x201C; younger. Celebrities, CEOs, Wall Street execs, models, housewives, athletes and even some high-ranking politicians all seem to be drinking from the same pitcher of Kool-Aid. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about it; in our current fast-paced, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youthorientedâ&#x20AC;? culture, hGH therapy is hot.

The controversy The controversy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over whether or not hGH plays an essential role in our health and aging (virtually everyone already agrees on that). Instead, the controversy lies in the best way to maintain our bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply of human growth hormone. Until recently, most felt the best way was through expensive prescription injections (although costs can run as high as $1500 per month). However, some experts argue against the use of these synthetic injections, because they fear introducing synthetic hGH into the body may upset natural hGH production.

Texas, and then again at The Academy of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21st Annual Congress in Washington, D.C., it created a serious stir.

The revolution The formula that was the subject of these research ďŹ ndings is now being sold by SanMedica Internationalâ&#x201E;˘ under the trade name SeroVital.â&#x201E;˘ And when Dr. Oz discussed the productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research on his show by introducing something he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a new frontier: stimulating your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of growth hormones naturally...â&#x20AC;? and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been searching for this from the day we started the

hGH revolution is exploding. Now that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy-to-swallow capsule that can raise growth hormone naturally, an awful lot of people have stopped asking if they should be increasing their hGH levels and started asking which hGH-boosting option is right for them.

Is it worth it? To me, anything that may reduce wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, and boost mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive, is a no-brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;establishedâ&#x20AC;? medical community (and of course, they know

SHAPE says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.â&#x20AC;? show. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking for ways of increasing hGH naturally because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like getting the injections,â&#x20AC;? you can imagine the frenzy he created. Before long, SanMedica was having trouble keeping SeroVital in stock. It went from underground sensation to full-blown phenomenon. Thanks to the release of SeroVital, the

everything) would say its beneďŹ ts are largely anecdotal, and based on research thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES, younger, is... at the very least... irresistible. Frankly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to try it. How about you?

The breakthrough Because of these concerns, researchers have spent the last thirty years searching for a reliable, clinically proven way to promote pituitary health, thereby increasing human growth hormone levels naturally.

Is it possible to “instantly” dislike someone without knowing why? —Jim Oates, Leesburg, Va.

Sure! And that’s okay. Without saying a word, we present information about ourselves, by the way we dress, our makeup or facial hair, hairstyles, facial expressions, body language, and more. Everything we choose says something about who we are; the stronger the statement, the more it provokes a judgment from an observer. When we start talking, we add more information, and if our words enforce the visual impressions, we may prompt anything from interest to antipathy. So don’t feel guilty about being turned off by someone right away. You’re surely not his or her type, either.
