KEN JEONG GIVES $50K TO ATLANTA VICTIMS FAMILIES
Ken Jeong is doing his part amid the nation’s wave of anti-Asian hate crimes. He’s donated $50,000 to the families of five victims of last week’s Atlanta spa shootings.
According to “NBC News,” the actor and “Masked Singer” judge has made five donations of $10k to GoFundMe campaigns for the families of Soon Chung Park, Hyun Jung Grant, Suncha Kim, Xiaojie Tan and Young Yue. He’s also shared the fundraisers on Twitter urging fans to donate.
Ken isn’t the first celeb to raise awareness. As we previously reported, Sandra Oh spoke at a Stop Asian Hate rally in Pittsburgh, and more stars have been speaking out on social media.

PRINCE HARRY GOES FROM ROYAL FAMILY TO SILICON VALLEY
Prince Harry is going from the Royal Family to Silicon Valley. Harry’s first gig since his Royal exit is an executive at a Silicon Valley startup, where he hopes to “help create impact in people’s lives.”
Harry has officially signed on as the chief impact officer of BetterUp Inc, a San Francisco-based health tech company offering professional and mental health coaching. In a blog post for the company, Harry – who has also been working with a BetterUp coach himself – says it’s important to “proactively take care of our own minds,” something he’s learned along with “the power of transforming pain into purpose.”
“In the years since [my decade in the military], my understanding of what resilience means has been shaped by the thousands of people and experts I’ve been fortunate to meet and learn from," he writes. "I firmly believe that focusing on and prioritizing our mental fitness unlocks potential and opportunity that we never knew we had inside of us."

WE'VE ALL BEEN PRONOUNCING KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN'S NAME WRONG
According to Andy Cohen, we’ve all been mispronouncing Khloé Kardashian’s name – even her own family. Stopping by “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, Cohen revealed how Khloé’s name is really pronounced.
Have you noticed that there’s an accent over the “e” in “Khloé”? Cohen feels like he’s the first to notice, and said there’s a reason why it’s there. Khloé is actually pronounced “Khlo-ay,” according to the Bravo host… and he said that was news even to some members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, minus Kris Jenner.
“I went and interviewed the Kardashians at Khloé’s house,” Cohen explained. “I walked in and I go, ‘Khlo-ay,’ and the other women go, ‘Excuse me?’ And Kris [Jenner] said, ‘Yeah, that’s actually how it’s really pronounced.'”
