Captain America Accidentally Shares His Penis

Chris Evans accidentally sharing a risque image of genitals on Instagram. He shared a video of his family laughing as they played a game of “Heads Up” on his Instagram Story. However, the since-deleted video ended with a bit of a mishap on the actor’s part.  According to EOnline, when the pre-recorded video ended, his phone seemed to have shown the photo roll grid on his device, which appeared to include some NSFW images, including one that many of his 5.9 million believe to be an erect penis.  Although the actor quickly took the video down, many were able to screengrab the photo grid to speculate on whether or not Evans accidentally shared a snap of his own penis. He has yet to comment publicly on the gaffe, meaning it’s unclear if it was even his camera roll, let alone his genitals.  Evans has been sparking dating rumors with actress Lily James after the duo were spotted being flirty while out on the town in London earlier this summer.   See the pic HERE.
******He calls his penis “Iron Man!!”
******Talk about a “Marvel!!”
*******Robert Downey Jr. tweeted: “Put a shield on that thing!!

Little Richard Replaces Hank Williams Jr.

ESPN is revamping the “Monday Night Football” show, as there will be fewer fans in the stands this year.  The new season starting tonight will feature a new version of Little Richard’s hit “Rip It Up” featuring new instrumentals and backup vocals from the Virginia-based band Butcher Brown.  The song replaces Hank Williams Jr.’s “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight,” which was repurposed with new lyrics like, “All my rowdy friends are here for Monday night.” Williams’ song was used on the show for two periods, 1989-2011 and then 2017-2019.  ESPN said in a press release on Friday that Little Richard’s song will be combined with NFL and team highlights. The 1956 song was a No. 1 R&B hit for Richard, who died in May at the age of 87 in Tennessee.  “We’re truly excited to have teamed up with ESPN for this project, and are honored to have had the opportunity to work with the music of the King of Rock N’ Roll, Little Richard,” Butcher Brown said in a statement provided by ESPN.
********That would have earned Little Richard a lot of money!! Too bad they didn’t do it while he was alive!!
******”All my rowdy friends are social-distancing tonight” doesn’t quite have the same ring!!

Lindsay Lohan Owes For Unwritten Book

Publisher HarperCollins is suing Lindsay Lohan for nearly $400,000, claiming the actress never delivered a manuscript for a book deal struck over six years ago, new court papers say.  She and her company Crossheart Productions entered into a contract with HarperCollins on March 27, 2014, for a book that was originally due a year later, the suit filed Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court alleges.  The publishing house gave Crossheart a $365,000 advance for the deal, which “was given to Lohan,” but the manuscript never materialized — even with a two year extension on the deadline to March 15, 2017, the court papers claim.  By September 2018, HarperCollins let her reps know it was terminating the contract and demanding a return of the advance, the filing says.  “By failing to return the money to the Plaintiff upon the Defendants’ breach of the agreement, the Defendants have received a windfall and have been unjustly enriched,” the suit charges.
*****Hey… it takes awhile to learn how to write!!!

Martha Stewart Launches CBD Line

Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg now have yet another thing in common.  She lunched a CBD line this week that includes “hemp-derived, cannabidiol-rich” gummies, soft gels and oil drops. But of course, the domestic diva’s line comes in “gourmet flavors” such as Meyer lemon, blood orange and kumquat and huckleberry.  She was introduced to her partner in the line, Canopy Growth, by her pal and co-star Snoop — who launched his own line of cannabis products, Leafs by Snoop, in 2015 — an ahead-of-the-curve stoner.  Stewart said in a video, “I’ll leave the THC offerings to Snoop.”
********We’re thinking he’s probably offered her some… and she took it!!
*******If the CBD is making her look that young at 79… we’ll have what she’s having!!

Why KUWTK Came To An End

The call to end hit E! reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” was reportedly made by Kris Jenner after daughters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner threatened to quit the show. The family as a whole contemplated walking away for months, but once both Kim and Kylie decided to pull out of the series, she decided to pull the plug completely, a source told The Sun.  “The family have been locked in an ongoing debate over the future of the show for months now,” the source claimed. “Kim has all the drama with Kanye West going on. He’s refusing to put anything personal on the show, and it’s increasingly difficult for Kim to find time to film the show.”  As for Kylie, the 23-year-old reportedly feels as if she earns enough cash through her several business ventures, and is no longer willing to sacrifice her privacy for a paycheck.  Eldest sibling Kourtney Kardashian ditched the show back in March, calling its filming environment “toxic.” Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick are reportedly the only cast members upset by the cancellation, with Kris recently sharing that the Good American founder has been crying over the news for days.
********Kris hates it when people pull out!!
******We don’t know why they’re stopping, but the men of America say, “Thanks!!”
******This show is one more reason to hate Ryan Seacrest!!

Rapper 50 Cent Leaves Big Tip At Burger King

50 Cent surprised Burger King employees in his native Queens with tips totaling $30,000.  Alongside social media influencer Jay Mazini, the 45-year-old rapper stopped by the fast food restaurant’s drive-thru to make the massive donation, according to footage posted to the star’s Instagram Tuesday.  “@jaymazini is the real deal,” the “Power” producer captioned his clip. “He saw me in the hood yesterday so we went tonight and showed everybody some love.”  The video begins by showing Mazini speaking to staffers through the window alone, asking employees about their day and if they believe Burger King is “paying right.”  After proclaiming he was there to “show love to you guys,” the Instagram star began handing the group of employees bundles of cash, soon to be joined by 50, further shocking the crowd.  “Southside we out side, @jaymazini heart so good i don’t think he can lose,” Jackson said of his partner for the charitable moment.

Juicy Fruit Casket Approved

A 94-year-old Virginia man with a lifelong love of Juicy Fruit has received permission from the Mars Wrigley Company to have his casket painted to resemble a pack of the chewing gum.  Sammy Oakey, president of Oakey’s Funeral Service, was asked by friend Suttie Economy, 94, to be buried in a casket painted to resemble a pack of Juicy Fruit.  Economy, who was hospitalized due to a heart condition three weeks ago, is currently being treated at the Virginia Veterans Care Clinic, where his condition was reported to be improving.  The nonagenarian developed a love for Wrigley’s chewing gum while serving in World War II, when the company took Juicy Fruit and other varieties of gum off the market so there would be enough to distribute to U.S. service members. He brought his love of Juicy Fruit home with him, friends and family said.  Oakey, who has been friends with the Economy family for about 45 years, said he determined that he would need permission from the Mars Wrigley Company to use the Juicy Fruit imagery on a casket.  The company initially refused the request, leading the funeral home to post about the efforts on Facebook. The post went viral and a member of the public was able to get Oakey contact information for the company’s president.  Economy’s brother, John, said the family is now seeking an artist to paint the casket.

Jelly Doughnut Record

A British speed-eater achieved a Guinness World Record when she ate 10 jelly doughnuts in 3 minutes.  Leah Shutkever, whose world record titles include fastest time to eat a cucumber, most lasagna eaten in 30 seconds and fastest time to drink 1 liter of gravy, took on the jelly doughnut record in Birmingham.  Shutkever was required to eat sugar-frosted doughnuts and was not allowed to lick her lips during the attempt. She was also required to open her mouth after finishing each doughnut to prove she had swallowed.  The speed-eater finished 10 doughnuts in the 3 minute time limit, enough to capture the record.  See the video HERE.

Cyclists Find Lots Of Money

A group of cyclists in California were out on a ride when they made a startling discovery — a wallet and more than $4,000 cash.  Members of the Fort Bragg Seniors on Bikes cycling group said they were out on a ride about 10 a.m. Sunday when member Susan Larsen spotted a $100 bill on the ground. The group then noticed more $100 bills scattered around the area.  The cyclists rounded up the money — $4,000 in $100 bills, as well as some smaller bills — and found a wallet nearby with a driver’s license, bank cards and a few receipts that were dated from the previous day.  The group found the wallet’s owner on Facebook and were able to reach out via a mutual friend.  “Within a couple hours, he was back in Fort Bragg, and at Susan’s house to collect his loot and his wallet,” Seniors on Bikes member Philip Zwerling told the Fort Bragg Advocate-News.  “To say he was relieved, happy, and grateful is an understatement. He was almost shaking at his reversal of fortune and the kindness of strangers.”

14 Things Teachers Want Parents To Know During Distance Learning

Huffington Post

 

1. Many of us were thrown into virtual teaching with little to no training.

“I had never seen Google Classroom before, nor had I even heard of apps like Loom or Pear Deck. But in record time, we learned. We figured it out and we tried to provide the best learning experience we could for your student.” — Vera Ahiyya of @thetututeacher, who teaches kindergarten in New York

 

2. It hurts when you say that teachers don’t want to work. That’s just not true.

“There is no place I’d rather be than in a classroom with my students. Connecting with these young humans is the best part of my day. Schools never closed — we shifted our classrooms to online without skipping a beat. Distance learning is not our preferred method of teaching. Every teacher I know wants to be with their kids. We spend a lot of time with these students. And every year, without fail, they become our kids. We become a little family.” — Darin Nakakihara, who teaches middle school in California

 

3. We agree that remote learning is not ideal. But it’s the best option we have at the moment.

“We also have to remember that different children respond better to different learning styles. While some students may excel at distance learning, for others it’s critical that they be in a classroom in order to retain what they learn. We all have to do the best we can to work together during this time — open communication between students, teachers, parents and faculty is key.

While we all know that distance learning is not ideal, for now I believe this is best for everyone when it comes to the health and safety of the kids. We must all be on board and support one another during these trying times.” ― Tyrelle Lee, who teaches eighth grade in North Carolina

 

4. This is hard on all of us. Let’s be patient with each other.

“The most important thing we all need to keep in mind during distance learning is to have patience. This is new for all of us — the students, parents, teachers and administrators. We need to understand that we will all face challenges and frustrations (most days) but need patience to work together through any issues that arise, as we are all learning how to get better.” ― Lee

 

5. Remember that we’re on the same team here.

“I’d like parents to know that our world has turned upside down as well. This situation isn’t us vs. them. It’s us trying our best to make learning happen in what feels like an impossible situation. We need parents’ support just like they need ours.

We have to be on the same team to find joy and encourage progress for our learners this year. It’s OK for us to grieve this change in school setting differently, but it’s not OK for us to not work together. We’re in this together and have the same goal of supporting, loving and teaching our students during this time.” ― Tamara of @ifpencilscouldtalk, who teaches third grade in Colorado

 

6. We really miss our students.

“We miss seeing their faces every day. We know that some have circumstances where they cannot chance coming to school and bringing something home to a family member, and we understand completely. But we miss them!” ― Kelsey Moeller, who teaches kindergarten (in-person and online) in Arkansas

 

7. We’re just as confused and overwhelmed by all of the changes as you are.

“Every day, we seem to get new information and directives. We are continuously making adjustments to our classrooms, our lesson plans, our policies and procedures, and more. We know that you are doing just the same with your own jobs, responsibilities and with your children and their needs. The students have been exceptional at being flexible and maintaining a positive attitude, including my freshmen who are starting their first year in high school. Though we are confused and frustrated at times, together, we can do this!” ― Staci Lamb, who teaches ninth grade in Maryland

 

8. If we all take the time to learn the new distance learning tools and resources, things will go much more smoothly.

“It’s also important that everyone — parents included — takes the time to learn how to use the resources available to us with this type of learning. For example, our district uses programs such as Canvas, Nearpod, Microsoft Teams, Discovery Education Tech Books and ClassDojo, to name a few. Parents who are able to learn these programs will undoubtedly be able to assist their children better when distance learning.” ― Lee

 

9. Some of us don’t have access to the technology we need to properly carry out our jobs.

“We don’t all have the technology or the bandwidth to help ensure equitable and accurate teaching. Many of us teach lessons on old, outdated laptops with very little memory or battery life. Some of us check work using our laundromat’s Wi-Fi, just to be sure a student got feedback on their work.” ― Ahiyya

 

10. We’re juggling a lot at once and working long hours.

“Some of us have a class full of students, as well as online students. So during the day, we are teaching 10 to 18 kids in our rooms and then having to find a time to get online and check the online students’ work, answer questions and meet with them via Zoom or Google Meet. We are having to record lessons during our conference time, after school or even at home to post for them to have online.” ― Moeller

 

11. Please come to us before you take your complaints or frustrations to Facebook.

“If something isn’t clear or you don’t understand, please come to me first instead of social media. I can’t fix a problem I don’t know about.” ― Moeller

 

12. We’re worried about the students who may be falling behind and need your support to help them succeed.

“For students who are struggling, I can’t just walk over to them and quietly assist them or partner them up with a classmate to work with. Since school is now at home — a place where parents take the lead — I need to partner with them to make sure that their child has a space to work in successfully, knows how to access and has all of their materials, and is encouraged to advocate for themselves when they need the help.

I know this learning environment is very frustrating and stressful for some parents. But in the midst of that, I need them to communicate and reinforce the idea that virtual school is real school and that attendance, preparation and engagement still matters. Basically, in this environment, teaching and all that is involved in providing a successful lesson is no longer just the teacher’s job.” ― La Tawnya Robinson of @smartiestyle, who teaches middle school in California

 

13. We notice and appreciate all the extra time and effort you’re putting in at home, too.

“On the first day of school, I saw and heard parents sitting next to their children trying to help them navigate the new online learning platform. We know how much of a strain this is causing, and we appreciate all that you are doing to make conducive learning spaces at home.” ― Lamb

 

14. We’re just as eager to return to the classroom as you and your kids are.

“I miss every single aspect of in-person instruction. Nothing compares to sharing space with your students, watching them interact in small groups, laughing with them, and just handing them a worksheet to work on instead of spending hours and $100 trying to figure out how to do the same thing digitally. None of the teachers that I know think virtual learning is the best situation for students, but we accept that this is what we have to do right now. I will tell you this: When the day comes that I am actually able to welcome my students into
