Queen’s Health Is Just Fine
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Saturday that Queen Elizabeth II was “on very good form” during their weekly conversation earlier this week. His comment comes a day after Buckingham Palace said she has been told to rest by doctors for another two weeks. “I spoke to Her Majesty as I do every week as part of my job and she was on very good form,” Johnson told ITV News on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Rome. “She has been told by her doctors that she has got to rest and I think we have got to respect that and understand that and everybody wishes her all the very best,” Johnson said. Last week, the queen underwent medical tests and spent a night at London’s King Edward VII’s Hospital, her first such stay in in eight years. During her rest period, she will miss attending the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, which commences on Sunday. However, she has recorded a message that will be relayed to attendees. She will also skip the Nov. 13 Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London, an event meant to honor the British and Commonwealth men and women who have fought wars, disasters and pandemics to protect and defend the nation. However, the palace said it is the queen’s “firm intention” to be present for a Remembrance Sunday ceremony in central London on Nov. 14th.
*****She’s been drinking gin for 95 years!! By now, she’s pickled!!
********She had her massive plane gassed up and ready to go to the “climate conference!!”
******She also said it’s her “firm intention” to outlive Charles!!
*****One of the ways the royals are fighting climate change: they’re trying to get Camilla to stop farting!!!
Prince Andrew Denies Sexual Assault
Prince Andrew’s attorneys made the shocking claim that the woman suing him for allegedly raping her when she was a teenager was actually a sex trafficker tasked with procuring “slutty girls” for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. His legal team made the accusation against accuser Virginia Giuffre in a Friday motion to dismiss her Manhattan federal court suit against him. In a section of the legal filing, Andrew alleged she was “involved the willful recruitment and trafficking of young girls for sexual abuse,” by the financier, who killed himself in a Manhattan jail before he could be tried for assaulting underage girls. “She was like the head b—h. She’d have like nine or 10 girls she used to bring to him. She never looked like she was being held captive,” Philip Guderyon, a former boyfriend of Giuffre’s, was quoted as saying in the court document. Giuffre claims Andrew sexually assaulted her three times — including once in Manhattan — at the behest of Epstein, charges the disgraced royal has denied. The prince’s latest offensive accused her of fabricating the charges for a “payday,” while also referencing Giuffre’s 2009 agreement with Epstein, which lawyers said should block any legal action she could take against Andrew.
******Terrible P.R., but a great legal strategy!!!
*****Obviously, if she’s ever done anything wrong, that means she can’t be a rape victim!! Right??
******The Queen told Andrew, “If you play your cards right, she’ll be beheaded!!!”
Alec Baldwin Speaks Out On Shooting
Alec Baldwin broke his silence Saturday, declaring his friendship with Halyna Hutchins — the cinematographer he accidentally shot and killed on the set of his film “Rust” last week. “There are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time, but nothing like this,” Baldwin, who looked tired and at times sounded hoarse, told a reporter as he stood on the side of the road in Vermont, with traffic whizzing by behind him. “This is a one in a trillion episode, a one in a trillion event.” The comments were Baldwin’s first in public since Hutchins was killed during the production of “Rust” in Sante Fe, New Mexico, last week. Director Joel Souza was wounded during the shooting, in which Baldwin accidentally discharged a gun he was reportedly told was “safe.” He spoke on what appeared to be a rural road with his wife, Hilaria, at his side filming the interaction on her cellphone. “A woman died. She was my friend, she was my friend,” said Baldwin. “When I arrived in Sante Fe to start shooting, I took her to dinner. “We were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting a film together when this horrible event happened.” He added that “we are in constant contact” with Hutchins’ husband Matthews. The couple had a 9-year-old son. “We are very worried” about her family, Baldwin said, adding he was “ordered” by the Sante Fe sheriff’s office not to discuss the case.
**********He’s gonna be in contact with the husband for a long time. Like, he’s going to be writing him checks!!!
********He should shut up, because by saying it’s a “one in a trillion accident,” he’s pointing out how negligent it was.
Ice Cube Turns Down Big Payday
Ice Cube left the cast of pending Sony comedy “Oh Hell No” — and walked away from a $9 million payday — after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine shot, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was slated to co-star with Jack Black, with whom he partnered on the project in June. Filmmaker Kitao Sakurai planned to shoot the flick this winter in Hawaii, and producers asked the cast to get the shot. Sony, Ice Cube’s agency and his personal representative, as well as co-producers Black and Matt Tolmach, all refused to comment. Producers have the option “to implement mandatory vaccination policies for casts and crew in Zone A” — where cast and crew work in close proximity — “on a production-by-production basis,” according to an agreement made in July between studios and actor guilds, the report states, while disputes over vaccination have become an issue in other Hollywood projects.
******People are gonna dog him, but you have to admit: he stands on his principles!!
********By the way, if you wanna pay us $9 million, we’ll even GET Covid!!!
*****We got vaccinated… no big deal! After we had the heart attack, we recovered nicely!!!
Bruce Willis Accused Of Nightmare Interview
A reporter claimed that Bruce Willis made her wait nine days for an interview back in 1996. She also alleged that he didn’t even tip the wait staff at the restaurant they went to conduct the interview. In the latest episode of iHeartRadio’s new original podcast, “Haileywood,” host Dana Schwartz spoke to writer Martha Frankel, who revealed she had a bad experience with him 25 years ago. Frankel received an assignment to interview Willis for the site Movieline in London at the time. She described the experience as “a nightmare” on the podcast. She revealed that Willis agreed to talk to her after nine days. Instead of meeting in London, he wanted to see her in a town called Windsor, an area about 30 miles west of London. She added that she tried to alleviate Willis’ uneasiness about the interview by suggesting meeting over a poker game with his management team. However, he wanted “no part of” any of the techniques Frankel tried to use to make him feel safer. Frankel explained: “He didn’t really want to talk about anything. It was just a drag and he wasn’t fun and he wasn’t funny. And I know he’s all of those things. I had seen him in action. I know he can be that.” She then divulged that Willis made the restaurant where they ate during the interview shut down “so that nobody would come over for his autograph.” He then didn’t tip their waitress at the end of their lunch. “And then he didn’t throw $300 bucks on the table for the waiter,” she said, “so I did.” Telling Schwartz, “I want rich people to be more generous than not rich people. But you know what was the best thing? He walked in and out of that hotel and nobody said a word to him, nobody recognized him.”
*********This is why celebrities should shoot reporters!! Then they can’t rat ’em out like this!!
*****Maybe Bruce was just having a bad year!!!
Madonna Recreates Marilyn Monroe’s Death
Madonna is being called out over “inappropriate” photos recreating the scene of Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 death for a new photo shoot. “For some morbid and eerie reason, Madonna decides to re-create Marilyn Monroe’s death bed,” wrote one of many critics who took issue with the shots, with another responding, “Yuck. Gross and inappropriate.” In her new V Magazine cover shoot, she channels Marilyn in heavily retouched photos shot by photographer Steven Klein. The shot in question shows Madonna laying face down on a mattress exposing her bottom, while in another photo, prescription pill bottles can be seen on her nightstand. Monroe was found dead in her home and is said to have overdosed on pills the previous night. “This isn’t cool. Glamorizing suicide is the only takeaway once the shock factor wears off,” tweeted another critic who took issue with the spread, with another adding, “Must be sad to still need so much attention. And this is so gross.” One more observer added, “She always had a creepy fascination with Marilyn.”
**********It’s sad when you stick your bare ass in the air and nobody cares!!!
*********If there was any justice, Marilyn would still be alive and Madonna would be dead. There, we said it!!
******If she really wanted to make it realistic, she would have had Bobby Kennedy’s head up her butt!!

Man Wins Lottery With Same Tickets
A Virginia man bought 20 identical tickets for the same lottery drawing and won 20 top prizes for a total jackpot of $100,000. William Newell, of Alexandria, told Virginia Lottery officials he usually buys his lottery tickets at a nearby store, but he decided to try buying them online for the first time and purchased 20 identical tickets for the Oct. 23 daytime Pick 4 drawing. Newell’s selected numbers, 5-4-1-1, matched the ones drawn by officials, earning him a $5,000 prize for each ticket — a total jackpot of $100,000. “It feels good, no doubt about it,” Newell said.

Nintendo Game Sells Big
An auction house handling an estate sale for a recently deceased Indiana woman said a sealed copy of 1988 video game Super Mario Bros. 2 sold for a whopping $88,550. Harritt Group Inc. said workers going through Patricia Martin’s Floyd Knobs home to find items to list for the estate sale discovered a box of Nintendo Entertainment System games in the back of a walk-in closet. “At first glance, it was a comforting wave of classic Nintendo nostalgia. All the classics were there, Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Qix, and even an NES console. So we did what any children of the 1990s would do: we fired up the console and tested the open games. It was a great day,” the item’s listing states. “At a second glance, it was something else entirely. The seemingly ordinary collection included an extraordinary unopened copy of Super Mario Bros. 2.” The unopened game was examined by experts and given a rating of 9.8 A+, meaning it is in “near-mint condition.” The game ended up selling for $88,550 to a Florida businessman.
*********He had to go tell his wife: “Remember that house we were gonna buy???”
******Someday, that game will be worth… almost nothing!!
*****If only we had known the rule of successful collecting: NEVER OPEN ANYTHING!!!
Penis Plant Blooming In Europe
A rare flower nicknamed the “penis plant” bloomed at a Netherlands university’s botanical garden, a rare occurrence in Europe. The University of Leiden said the penis plant, known scientifically as Amorphophallus decus-silvae, blooms only once every two decades, and the university’s botanical garden hasn’t had one of the plants bloom since 1997. The flower is known as a “penis plant” due to the phallic shape of its bloom. The school said it is rare for the Indonesia-native plants to bloom in Europe due to the vastly different climate and weather conditions. The plant that bloomed this month is 6 years old, and researchers noticed it was budding in mid-September. The university made arrangements to allow the public to see the blooming flower and experience its famously foul odor, which often is compared to rotting flesh. See the flower HERE.
*********By the way, if YOUR penis smells like this, see a doctor immediately!!
******Its official botanical name is “fellacio enormo maximus!!!”
******It’s pointed on the end, which could be a problem if you’re putting a condom on!!
Halloween Decorations Too Scary
Police in British Columbia said a driver was asked to remove the Halloween decorations from his car after a message reading “HELP ME” was determined to be “a little too scary.” The Trail and Greater District RCMP said officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle parked near an intersection and arrived to find the car had been decorated with fake blood and the message “HELP ME” spelled out with duct tape. Police spoke with the vehicle’s owner, a 36-year-old Fruitvale man, and asked him to remove the spooky decorations. “The man agreed to remove the duct tape after police explained that it was a little too scary and might cause more calls of concern to the police,” police said.
*********After he took the duct tape off, he said, “I guess you’ll want me to removed the body from my trunk, too!!”

10 Ways To Alleviate Tech Neck, According To Experts
Huffington Post
Take tech breaks.
Easier said than done (we know), but being mindful of taking frequent breaks from your electronic devices is crucial to minimizing your risk of experiencing the malady. Wear an activity tracker to keep yourself in check, set an alarm on your phone to remind yourself it’s break time or, as New Jersey-based chiropractor Blessen Abraham recommends, use that 20-minute phone call as a chance to step away from your desk and get some fresh air.
Implement chin tucks twice a day.
Chin tucks are a quick, easy way to alleviate tech neck — and something you can do while sitting at your desk.
Ronald Tolchin, medical director at Baptist Health’s Miami Neuroscience Institute’s Spine Center, said that you should sit in a tall chair and keep your chin parallel to the floor. “Without tilting your head, draw your head and chin backwards, kind of like you’re making a double chin. This should be a slow, sustained stretch. From there, you can try to actively elongate your head upward like there is a string pulling your head upward.”
Do this twice a day every day to strengthen the neck muscles and encourage good posture.
Elevate your workstation.
Hunching your head forward while on your phone, tablet or laptop causes undue stress on your muscles.
“The human neck is an amazing structure that allows you to look in all directions. However, when you bend your neck to an extreme position such as when looking all the way down, in the short term, your muscles can become tired and spasm,” Lin said.
By bringing the screen to eye level — versus lowering your eye level to your device — you can keep your neck in better alignment and prevent it from flexing forward. Try elevating your workstation with a monitor riser, laptop tray or a standing desk (even a standing desk converter can help all types of pain, including in your neck). This will not only remove pressure on your neck and back, but it’ll encourage your neck to maintain a neutral alignment, ultimately keeping tech neck at bay.
Adjust how you sit.
If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer or laptop, a simple adjustment to your sitting position can make all the difference — and if you’ve elevated your workstation, you’re already halfway there.
“Once your monitor is at eye level, it’ll [automatically] help you sit with a straight back,” said Lin.
An ergonomic chair and lumbar care can help ensure your back and neck remain in a neutral position throughout the day. You can purchase an office chair with built in support (like this one, which meets experts’ standards), or you can buy a separate lumbar support mesh to add to your current chair (this one comes highly recommend by pain specialists).
Use ice packs for initial pain, then switch to heat packs.
Tech neck can present itself as anything from a sharp, stabbing pain to a frustratingly achy sore. Either way, ice packs can offer some much-needed relief. “Ice packs applied to the back of the neck can be a useful analgesic within the first 48 to 72 hours to reduce both pain and swelling,” Tolchin said.
After that, combat any lingering pain by switching to moist heat, either by wrapping a warm towel around the neck or by using a microwavable heat pack for 10 to 15 minutes every three to four hours.
Strengthen your back muscles through exercise.
A strong back is to tech neck what strong teeth are to a cavity — the better shape it’s in, the more resilient it is to damage. In the case of tech neck, maintaining strong back muscles means your neck is better able to handle more stress. This isn’t a free pass to keep up a bad posture, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to keep your back muscles in tip-top condition.
Tolchin recommended working on your back through core-strengthening exercises. “The goal is to strengthen the 29 core muscles around your abdomen, spine, and pelvic area,” he said. “These muscles will act as a brace for your spine if strengthened appropriately.”
Pilates-based exercises (with or without a reformer) as well as planks — which help strengthen the extensor muscles in your back, according to Lin — are especially helpful in promoting better overall posture and spinal alignment.
Do door frame stretches to relieve tightness.
Door frame stretching can be beneficial for the muscles in the front of the shoulder girdle and chest wall, Tolchin said.
Here’s how to do it: “Raise each arm up in the doorway to about 90 degrees at the shoulders and the elbows with your palms facing forward,” Tolchin said. “Rest your palms on the door frame and slowly step forward with one foot at a time to feel the stretch in your shoulder girdles and chest wall. You should do this until tension is felt in those muscles. Hold that position for 10 to 15 seconds and repeat three times.”
Massage the affected area.
The pain associated with tech neck can radiate from the neck into the shoulders and upper back. It can also increase tension in the shoulders and cause numbness, soreness and even headaches.
A good massage can work wonders on managing this discomfort, as it “helps alleviate the soft tissue and upper level muscle tension,” Abraham said. It can also reduce inflammation in the neck muscles, and is a great way to relieve overall stiffness and stress.
Try using a massage wand or a neck-specific massaging tool (this Theracane massager is a physician favorite) to relax your neck and nix pain.
Use retinol if you want to reduce any fine lines.
In the skincare world, tech neck has been dubbed the crow’s feet of the digital era. “Long periods of having our heads staring down at our electronics can cause folds in our neck, and doing this over a long period of time can cause fine lines and wrinkles,” Abraham said.
If this is something you want to address, try incorporating anti-aging powerhouse retinol into your nighttime skincare routine. Just make sure that you’re using a low concentration or a gentle type of retinol cream, as retinol can be irritating for many skin types. (Experts previously told HuffPost that this L’Oréal cream is effective to use on your neck.)
Get adequate sleep.
A good night’s sleep does more than just give you a boost of energy and increase your productivity level — it can actually help relieve your pain since your body repairs itself as it sleeps. The sweet spot to aim for is around seven to nine hours.
But what if your tech neck pain is so debilitating that you’re having trouble getting comfortable? Abraham recommends sleeping on your back with a pillow under the knees to reduce the stress on the low back.
“Also, have a pillow under the head or a small rolled towel under the neck to avoid stretching the neck,” he said.
