Lori Loughlin Chooses Her Prison

Lori Loughlin is one step closer to serving her two-month prison sentence for her role in the nationwide college admissions scandal at the facility of her choice, according to federal court documents.  She and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were sentenced to two and five months, respectively, by Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton last month. The sentences are in line with the terms of their plea deals laid out months ago.  According to a judgment on file at the United States District Court in Massachusetts obtained by Fox News, Gorton signed off on the recommendation that Loughlin “be designated to a facility closest to her home in [California], preferably the camp at FCI Victorville, if commensurate with the appropriate security level.”  The judgment, first reported by Us Weekly, confirms that Loughlin has to surrender to a facility designated by the Bureau of Prisons on Nov. 19 before 2 p.m. The magazine reports that Victorville consists of a “low-security prison camp for 300 inmates.”  Following her two-month sentence, Loughlin will be on a supervised release for a term of two years.
*********Hey…. Victorville is nice this time of year!!
******She did ask that her sheets be at least 300 thread count!! And made of Egyptian cotton!!
******They’e still considering her request for a private chef and trainer!!!

Taylor Swift Stalker Sentenced

One of Taylor Swift’s stalkers was sentenced to 30 months in prison by a federal judge after he pleaded guilty to sending threatening letters and emails to the singer’s former record label.  According to records filed in federal court, Eric Swarbrick of Austin, Texas, was given the sentence during a hearing Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn. The terms of the sentence, which also includes three years of supervised release, were agreed on by prosecutors in a plea agreement that Swarbrick entered in 2019. The complaint said Swarbrick sent over 40 letters and emails to Big Machine Label Group in 2018, asking the CEO to introduce him to Swift. Over time the letters became more violent and threatening. On three occasions Swarbrick drove to Nashville to personally deliver them.
*******She seems happy about it!! We were parked outside her house yesterday, and we saw her smile!!
*******So many guys are stalking Taylor Swift, they have their own Facebook group!!

Katie Holmes Happy About Her New Relationship

Katie Holmes and her rumored boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr. are reportedly overcome with joy in their relationship.  They were first linked last month after being spotted together at a Manhattan restaurant.  They were later was photographed in the middle of a makeout session.  “Emilio is very charming, flirty. It’s easy to see how Katie fell for him,” a source recently told People magazine.  They added: “She seems very into him. She keeps texting Emilio all day long and he loves it. He can’t get enough of her attention.” She, they claimed, is “smitten” with the chef, who works at the famed New York City restaurant Emilio’s Ballato.  Holmes seemingly confirmed her relationship earlier this month when she locked lips with Vitolo Jr. while dining outdoors.
*********That was not affection!! She just wanted to taste what he was having for lunch!!
*******The whole “texting him all day long” thing sounds like it’s gonna get old!!
*****The great thing about actresses? When they’re not working, they have all day to obsess about YOU!! (Don’t ask how we know)
*****We’re waiting to see if Emilio starts jumping up and down on a couch!! Katie has that effect on men!!

Jim Carrey Joins SNL As Biden

Jim Carrey has been tapped to play 2020 Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden on the upcoming season of “Saturday Night Live,” which is set to premiere on Oct. 3.  NBC confirmed the news on Wednesday.  Carrey is succeeding Jason Sudeikis and Woody Harrelson, who played the part in previous seasons.   “There was some interest on his part,” Lorne Michaels told Vulture about casting Carrey. “And then we responded, obviously, positively. But it came down to discussions about what the take was. He and [head writer/cast member] Colin Jost had a bunch of talks. He and I as well.”  “He will give the part energy and strength, and … [Laughs.] Hopefully it’s funny,” Michaels added.  Michaels also confirmed that Alec Baldwin is returning as President Donald Trump, Maya Rudolph will once again play Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris, and Beck Bennett is coming back as Vice President Mike Pence.
*******Jim is preparing himself to play Biden by having someone chew his food for him!!
*******Forget Trump and Biden!! We want to see Alec Baldwin debate Jim Carrey!!
******Since SNL is on NBC, you can expect the comedy to be “fair and balanced!!” Not!!

Gwyneth Paltrow Pitches Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Gwyneth Paltrow is opening up about her use of Xeomin, an anti-wrinkle injectable she says she began using “a few years ago.”  “Finding highly purified and proven products is so important. That’s one of the many reasons I started using Xeomin a few years ago,” Paltrow, who is partnering with Xeomin on a new ad campaign, told People. “For me, beauty is about deepening happiness versus trying to chase youth,” the beauty and wellness guru added. “And it’s no secret that I’m an open book when it comes to trying new beauty regimens, but I want to know what’s in a product before putting anything into my body.”  Paltrow opened up about aging in a conversation with mom Blythe Danner last month, telling her daughter Apple Martin that she felt the prettiest in her late 30s, thanks to her level of confidence.  “I think aging is hard. It’s definitely a process, and I think when you see your face start to change, you don’t necessarily feel your most beautiful externally,” she said.
********Be sure you pronounce “Xeomin” correctly!! It sounds like “seamen!!!”
*******We think true beauty comes from within!! But that’s because we’re ugly!!!
******The jar says, “We guarantee this cream will never wrinkle!!”

Robin Givens Avoiding Mike Tyson Movie

While Jamie Foxx is playing Mike Tyson on the big screen, Tyson’s first wife, Robin Givens, was prepping to potentially go toe-to-toe in court over her portrayal in the film. But Givens may have already won as Tyson’s people say that there are no plans for their relationship to be in the biopic. Tyson and Givens were married in 1988 for eight months, but their subsequent war of words lasted longer than the nuptials.  Lawyers for Givens sent Tyson and Foxx a cease-and-desist letter last month, Page Six has exclusively learned, to “demand that Mr. Tyson cease and desist from further defaming Ms. Givens, and to put those producing, writing and/or directing the proposed Tyson biopic, and those producing Mr. Tyson’s podcast, on notice that they are to refrain from portraying Ms. Givens in a false, negative and defamatory light.”  Her lawyers said that Givens was “heartbroken” to send the legal letter, but alleged, “While [she] has attempted to move on, she still finds herself fighting the abusive, demeaning and false accounts of their relationship by Mr. Tyson nearly 35 years later. It is time for Mr. Tyson to let this marriage be the relic of the past that it is.”
*******Let’s just put it this way… we’d rather get in the ring with Mike than go on a date with Robin!!
******Mike still loves her… put sometimes he gets his love and hate mixed up!!

Chuck E Cheese Wants To Destroy Tickets

Chuck E. Cheese is asking a court for permission to purchase and destroy 7 billion prize tickets produced for its game machines.  The 612-location restaurant chain, which declared bankruptcy in June, said the tickets were printed prior to the bankruptcy filing, but the suppliers hadn’t yet been paid and the tickets had yet to be delivered.  Chuck E. Cheese is asking the court’s permission to spend $2.3 million to purchase and destroy the 7 billion tickets, which are worth about $9 million in prizes.  Officials said the game machines were being converted to an eTicket model even before the COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to reduce wait times. The conversion efforts were accelerated amid the outbreak in an attempt to increase no-contact service.  The company’s court filing said the $2.3 million to buy and destroy the tickets is “a cost which is far lower than the cost to the [company] should these prize tickets be circulated to the general public and presented … for redemption.”
********That rat!!!!
******Running around with fistfuls of Chuck E. Cheese tickets used to be an important part of everyone’s childhood!!
********It’s a shame they’re going bankrupt!! They had just started getting the pizza right!!

Miller Lite Beer Truck For Sale

A non-running vehicle listed for sale in Missouri is drawing attention for an unusual feature — a large refrigeration shaped like a six-pack of Miller Lite beer.  The 1982 Ford Econoline, which once served as a delivery truck for the beer company, features a refrigeration unit on its back shaped like a giant six pack of Miller Lite cans.  Al Jackson, who listed the truck for sale in St. Joseph, Mo., did not offer much in the way of details about the vehicle in his Facebook Marketplace listing.  “One of a kind! Beer truck!” the listing reads. “Definitely guaranteed to be a fun project! Vehicle does not run.”  The truck has an asking price of $2,500.  See the pic HERE.
*******It runs on Miller Lite!!
*******If it was a Michelob truck, it would be worth at least $5,000!!

TRex For Sale

One of the most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons in the world is headed for the auction block in New York and is expected to sell for between $6 million and $8 million.  Auction house Christies said the T. Rex skeleton, dubbed “Stan” in honor of Stan Sacrison, the amateur paleontologist who found the bones in 1987, will be auctioned Oct. 6 as part of the 20th Century Evening Sale.  The assembled Stan measures 13 feet high, 40 feet long and is composed of 188 bones, making it one of the most complete skeletons of the species in the world.  Researchers at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in South Dakota, where Stan was studied for two decades, said the bones reveal the dinosaur suffered a broken neck during its life, causing two vertebrae to fuse together. The T. Rex also suffered puncture wounds to its skull and a rib from an apparent encounter with a rival T. rex.
********It’s also possible that those injuries were sustained when he came home late after drinking with his T Rex buddies!!
******After studying the little T Rex arms, scientists determined that there’s no way a T Rex could  give a “high five!!’
*******What do you call a T Rex with a broken back and head wounds? “Dino-sore!!!!”

Waitress Gets Tipped A Car

A pair of regular customers at a New Jersey diner surprised their favorite server with an unusual tip — a car.  Lisa Ayala and Jason Medina, regulars at the Empire Diner in Brooklawn, gave their 2006 Nissan Altima to their favorite server, Lisa Mollett, as the tip for their Sunday meal.  “Instead of them saying they want a raspberry iced tea, they had a copy of the keys and the title,” Mollett recalled to WPVI-TV. “They said, ‘This is for you.’ I said, ‘Oh my gosh!'”  Mollett, who has been serving the couple for about two years, said she broke down into tears.  “There are a lot of nice people out there, but I don’t think many people would give a server a car as a tip,” Mollett said.  Ayala and Medina said they bought the Altima years ago, but hadn’t used it much lately after they both got new cars.  They said they remembered Mollett telling them about her recent car troubles, and they wanted to do something nice for the server, who recently returned to work after being laid off for three months due to COVID-19.
********This is going to ruin New Jersey’s reputation!!
*****Of course, she’ll have to get rid of the body in the trunk!!!

A LIST FOR FRIDAY

How To Create A Morning Routine That Reduces Anxiety And Stress

Huffington Post

1. Start your day by drinking water.

Before you have your tea or coffee, hydrate with a glass of a water as soon as you wake up.

“It gives us increased cognitive function, allowing us more clarity of mind, can elevate our mood and energy, and promotes more balanced emotional regulation and takes less than a minute,” Chambers said. “And it’s a great habit to stack your next part of the routine into, and you can even prepare your water the evening before.”

 

2. Walk outside.

Taking a walk outdoors is a calming, grounding way to begin the day.

“It is also great as it gets sunlight into our eyes, stimulating serotonin, which boosts our mood,” Chambers said. “It also ignites our senses, as the wind hits our face, sounds of the environment fill our ears and we smell the external world. It makes us mindful and eases our worries in the process.”

 

3. Practice gratitude.

Take a moment to reflect on all of the good in your life. You can list a few things in your head, share them with a partner or child, or write them down in a journal.

“Start your day with a grateful heart before you even get up from bed,” said Renato Perez, a Los Angeles psychotherapist. “Start naming all the things you’re grateful for. This could be done through prayer or simply a list you say out loud to the universe or Mother Nature.”

 

4. Try to avoid checking your phone first thing.

Those work emails, text messages, Instagram notifications and news alerts can wait a bit. If you charge your phone by your bed or use it as an alarm clock, you’re going to look at it right when you wake up. Before you know it, you’re sucked in and two minutes of scrolling turns into 20. Try charging your phone across the room so it’s not within reach. Or charge it outside of the bedroom and use an alarm clock instead.

“I see so many people who immediately check their work email in the morning, which automatically puts them in ‘work mode’ and makes them feel anxious about the day ahead before they even get out of bed,” said Gina Delucca, a clinical psychologist at Wellspace SF. “Similarly, some people hop on social media or start reading news articles while lying in bed, which may trigger anxiety by reading or seeing something negative or scary.”

That doesn’t mean you have to avoid your phone altogether, which just isn’t realistic for most of us. “But I definitely recommend giving yourself some peace and quiet in the morning before the daily grind begins,” Delucca added.

 

5. Take some deep breaths.

When you’re anxious, you might notice your breathing is quick and shallow, rather than slow and deep.

“This is a part of our body’s natural stress response, and it coincides with a few of the other physical sensations you may notice when you feel anxious — like rapid heart rate, dizziness and upset stomach,” Delucca said. “While we don’t have voluntary control over some of these bodily sensations, we do have control over our breathing, and we can use our breath to help induce a more relaxed state.”

Those deep, nourishing inhalations and exhalations stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, producing a sense of calm.

“To begin, try to spend a few minutes each morning sitting or lying in a comfortable position, closing your eyes and taking a few slow, controlled, deep breaths,” Delucca said. “Try breathing in through your nose and then breathing out through either your nose or mouth. When you inhale, imagine that you are filling up a balloon in your abdomen rather than just breathing into your chest.”

 

6. Meditate.

“There is no better way to quiet the mind than by practicing meditation,” Perez said. “Start small — two to three minutes — and increment every week.”

When your mind wanders away, which it inevitably will, gently bring it back to your breath.

You can sit in silence, listen to relaxing music, do a guided mediation through an app like Calm, Headspace or Insight Timer, or find one on YouTube

You can also try repeating a mantra — “I am safe, and I will be OK,” is one Delucca suggested. Or do a body scan: Start at the top of your head, bringing awareness to each body part and releasing tension from that area as you slowly work your way down to your toes.

 

7. Eat a nourishing breakfast.

“Our mood is highly influenced by what we eat,” Chambers said.

Opt for a balanced breakfast that contains protein, healthful fats, fiber and complex carbohydrates — think a vegetable omelet with avocado toast or oatmeal with nut butter, berries and chia seeds. Refined carbohydrates, such as doughnuts and sugary cereals, can lead to a blood sugar spike and crash, “causing challenges with emotional regulation, which may leave you feeling anxious,” Chambers added. (That said, if the occasional croissant or chocolate chip muffin brings some joy to your morning, it’s totally fine. Food is meant to be enjoyed, after all.)

 

8. Read a few pages from a book.

Rather than reading news or catching up on your social media feeds early in the morning, Perez recommends picking up a book that inspires you and reading for a few minutes ― even just five pages.

“Find a book that really speaks to you and makes you feel good,” he said.

 

9. Move your body.

It could be yoga, walking, running, dancing, cycling, strength-training or even stretching.

“When you exercise in the morning, you may notice improved focus and energy during the rest of the day, as well as better sleep at night, which can also help to tame anxiety,” Delucca said. “In addition, exercising in the morning can enhance your mood by giving you a boost of endorphins and a sense of accomplishment at the start of your day.”

It’s worth noting that some people report that certain workouts, especially very intense ones, actually stoke their anxiety rather than reduce it. So just be aware of that.

“We react differently to exercise, and it is a stressor,” Chambers said. “Exercising with too much intensity for some people can lead them to become fatigued and more likely to feel anxious.”

 

10. Do some visualization.

A visualization practice can help you set the desired tone for your day. If you’re feeling anxious and distracted, perhaps you’d like to feel calm, focused and empowered instead. Seely recommends calling on a memory that evokes that feeling for you. Tune into the small details and sensations of the experience.

“For example, if I’m visualizing a memory where I hiked up to the peak of a mountain and I’m overlooking the summit, I might notice the details of the incredible view, the sounds of nature around me, the feel of my muscles after climbing the steep terrain, the smell and temperature of the air, the sensation of feeling accomplished, proud, unstoppable,” she said. “Really getting into every sensation of the memory helps your body to soak in the experience and primes your physiology for that particular state of being ― in this example, empowered and ready to take on the day.”

And if you can’t think of a specific memory, allow yourself to daydream and build the desired experience in your imagination.
