Sexiest Man Alive

People magazine has declared Michael B. Jordan the Sexiest Man Alive for 2020.  “It’s a cool feeling,” the actor told the magazine about the honor.  “You know, everybody always made that joke, like, ‘Mike, this is the one thing you’re probably not going to get.’ But it’s a good club to be a part of.”  Jordan’s award was announced on Tuesday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!  The 33-year-old actor is known for his roles in The Wire, Friday Night Lights, Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther and Just Mercy. He will soon be seen in the film, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse.  Last year’s Sexiest Man Alive was singer John Legend. Luther star Idris Elba held the title in 2018 and country music artist Blake Shelton had the distinction in 2017.

Harvey Weinstein On “Health Watch” In Prison

Harvey Weinstein is being closely watched after he became ill with a fever at a New York correctional facility, his representative says.  He started serving a 23-year sentence in March after he was found guilty of a first-degree criminal sexual offense and third-degree rape.  Weinstein representative Juda Engelmayer said she would “neither confirm nor deny” that the former producer has tested positive for COVID-19, but said he’s being monitored carefully by prison health officials.  “We are working with the [corrections officials] and the excellent team at Wende [Correctional Facility] to ensure Mr. Weinstein receives the proper medical attention he needs,” Engelmayer said Tuesday.  Prison officials put Weinstein in isolation in March after he first tested positive for the coronavirus disease.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says although COVID-19 reinfection is rare, it is investigating how it occurs.  “Based on what we know from similar viruses, some reinfections are expected,” the CDC said. “We are still learning more about COVID-19.”
*****Scientists are saying that scumbags are more susceptible to the virus!!
******How do you put a prisoner on lockdown?? Or are we all prisoners now???
******They’re testing Harvey every day… by putting their fists up his nostrils!!

The Queen Will Not Give Up The Throne

Queen Elizabeth II will be leaving the throne anytime soon.  Palace insiders told royal expert and Vanity Fair correspondent Katie Nicholl that she would “never abdicate” because “it is simply not in her DNA to abandon her people or duty.”  Rumors have been spreading that she was planning to step down next year. Prince Charles is next in line to the throne, followed by his son Prince William.  According to the outlet, Buckingham Palace’s culture secretary Oliver Dowden has announced details of a four-day “blockbuster weekend of celebrations” to celebrate Elizabeth’s 70-year reign in 2022, squashing any gossip pertaining to abdication.  “As a young woman she vowed to serve until her death and that is what she plans to do,” a source told the outlet. “She would never abdicate — to her, it is a dirty word never to be uttered in her presence.”  Elizabeth’s biographer Sally Bedell Smith agreed with the statement.  “Her Majesty will most assuredly not step down when she turns 95 in April 2021, although with the Platinum Jubilee to follow in 2022, she’ll likely want to celebrate her birthday with minimum fuss,” she explained. “Unless she becomes incapacitated mentally or physically (which would trigger the Regency Act), she will remain queen until her death.”  The outlet noted Elizabeth has only been seen twice in public since the lockdown in spring due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
********We told ya!! She’s trying to outlive Charles!!
*******Why shouldn’t she stay in power?? What else is she gonna do all day??
******Charles like to sneak up behind and yell, “Boo!!” So far, it hasn’t worked!!
******She’s 94 and Phillip is 99!! They’re trying to outlive each other!!!

Lori Loughlin’s Husband Shaves Head Before Prison

Lori Loughlin’s husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, has shaved off his hair ahead of his five-month prison sentence for his part in the widespread college admissions scandal.  He who, along with Loughlin, admittedly bribed their daughters’ way into college — was unrecognizable when photographed with his new haircut and a bushy gray beard while out in Beverly Hills this week.  His sentence is expected to begin Thursday at Federal Correctional Institution Lompoc, a low-security facility in Southern California.  The prison’s Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook doesn’t specify any hair length or related restrictions for its inmates, but Giannulli will be able to maintain his new ‘do once he’s locked up.  According to the book, “Haircuts and hair care services are authorized in the barber shop only.”  Meanwhile, the “Full House” actress is currently serving her two-month sentence at cushy California prison FCI Dublin. She is expected to get out in time for Christmas.

Dr. Oz’s Sister Sues Over Apartments

Dr. Oz has been stiffing his sister on cash coming in from a pair of pricey Upper East Side apartments owned by their late father, a new lawsuit alleges. Nazlim Oz, his younger sister, filed a complaint Monday in Manhattan court claiming her 60-year-old brother Mehmet has been holding out on the $15,000 per month that she usually receives from renting out the properties.  She claimed payments disappeared after the February 2019 death of their father, Mustafa Oz, who snatched up the condos in 1983.  The apartments are under a limited liability company, which is controlled by him, the suit says.  Nazlim alleges that her brother gave her “no legal reason” for withholding the payments, though she noted that her father’s estate is tied up in probate court in his native Turkey. “Nazim can draw no conclusion other than Mehmet is withholding her in order to [sic] some type of leverage over her in Turkish probate proceedings,” the suit says.  But he said he had to stop payments and put the money in escrow since their mother and other relatives are suing her over the estate, the Real Deal reported.
*********The words “Turkish Court” don’t inspire a lot of confidence!!!

George Clooney Admits Giving Away $14 Million

George Clooney confirmed that he did gift $1 million each to 14 of his closest friends in 2013 as a token of appreciation for all they’ve done for him.  “I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. So why the f–k am I waiting to get hit by a bus?” he told GQ for its Men of the Year issue.  His friend and Casamigos business partner, Rande Gerber, was the first one to spill the news when appearing on MSNBC. He said that the Oscar winner invited all his friends over for dinner one night and handed them a suitcase, each containing $1 million in cash.  Clooney said he wanted to do it because at that point in time he didn’t have a wife or kids and never expected to have a family.  “And I thought, what I do have are these guys who’ve all, over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another,” he explained. “I’ve slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I’ve helped them over the years… And I thought, you know, without them I don’t have any of this.”
**********If we were in his will, he WOULD be hit by a bus… and we’d be driving!!
*****Of course he did it before he got married!! What would happen if he went to his wife and said, “Do you mind if I give away $14 million to my drinking buddies???”

Christmas Cheer!  Brad’s Cozying Up To Jen-Again!-(National Enquirer)

Newly single Brad Pitt agreed to co-host ex-wife Jennifer Aniston’s Christmas tree-trimming party on Zoom-triggering rumors of a romantic reunion, insiders snitched.  The “Once Upon a Time” hunk, 56, who recently split with model Nicole Poturalski, shocked fans when he showed up at the sitcom cute’s annual bash last year.  “This very public reunion means they may finally be graduating from the ‘Friends’ zone!”

Carrie Ann Inaba’s Dream Date Dashed-(Globe)

“Dancing With the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba laments she never got to waltz into the tropical sunset with Ricky Martin’s former bandmate.  “I was a dancer, I was like 16, and I danced for Menudo,” recalls the 51-year-old “Talk” host.  “When they came to Hawaii, they did a concert, and Roy Rossello asked me to go on a date with him!  He was going to fly me to Puerto Rico.  And like, ‘Yeah!’” she exclaims, adding her dreamy date got dashed.  “Mama said, ‘No!’”

Emilio & Katie:  Ready To Wed?-(Us Weekly)

After a messy divorce from Tom Cruise and a tumultuous on-and-off relationship with Jamie Foxx, Katie Holmes finds being with new love Emilio Vitolo Jr. a breath of fresh air.  “She feels so blessed to be with a centered, down-to-earth, kindhearted companion who isn’t affected by the fame stuff,” a source says, “and someone who puts happiness and traditional values first.”  Adds the source:  “In her mind, this is the real deal.”

Hugh’s Unhappily Ever After-(Star)

Think of the children!  Well, that’s not very romantic!  Famously floppy-haired Hugh Grant, who charmed audiences in countless rom-coms in the 1990s and 2000s, has a not-very-rosy take on the chances of his most beloved on-screen couplings.  “I’m sure they were all disasters.  Those films were all lies,” the 60-year-old recently groused in an interview.  “I’m sure that my character in Notting Hill and Julia Roberts’ character have been through the ugliest imaginable divorce with really expensive, nasty lawyers.”  Indeed, the actor, currently showing his dark side in HBO’s The Undoing, was thrilled at the idea of creating a new genre following the offspring of couples like Notting Hill’s hapless bookseller and movie star, who were happily expecting a child at the end of the 1999 flick.  “That’s brilliant,” enthused Hugh, “They’d be [about] really traumatized children who were ripped apart.”

Lean Times-(Life & Style)

LA, Oct. 31

Sources say [Ben Affleck] has been on an intense weight-loss regimen for his return as Batman in the Justice League sequel.  But as a shockingly thin Affleck took a stroll near his house, Diet Coke in hand, some thought he might be taking his role prep a little too far.  “He’s 6-foot-4 and hovering aground 165 pounds,” says an insider of the sober star, who was previously a healthy 205 pounds before embarking on a strenuous exercise plan.  “He avoids sugar like the plague, but those closest to him wish he’d have a donut every once in a while.  They’re starting to get worried about his health.”

One Last Thing:  Stevie Nicks-(People)

The singer-songwriter, 72, just released her 24 Karat Gold Tour live album and her new single “Show Them the Way.”

Last time I was starstruck-

David Beckham.  It was at a big concert in San Francisco, and he just oozed handsomeness.  Gorgeousness, you know?  I just stood there, like, “Is this real?  Maybe it’s a dream.”

Last time I danced-

I dance around my apartment all the time.  I like to make up dances to Lady Gaga’s song “Applause.”  My girlfriends and I have our own version of the Hustle that we update.

Last indulgence-

I found out I’m allergic to gluten.  But I just had these gluten-free brownies from Erewhon Market in Pacific Palisades that taste like chocolate souffle.  As long as they exist, I can do this.

Brian vs. His Ex!-(In Touch)

Brian Austin Green was publicly shamed by his ex-wife, Megan Fox.  Her comments were scathing.  “I know you love your kids.  But I don’t know why you can’t stop using them to posture via Instagram,” she wrote under a Nov. 1 post by her estranged husband Green, featuring their son Journey, 4.  “You’re so intoxicated with feeding the pervasive narrative that I’m an absent mother, and you are the perennial, eternally dedicated dad.  Why do you need the internet to echo back to you what should be inexhaustibly evident in the way your children love you?”  Brian should have known Megan would be upset.  Megan, 34, and Brian, 47, “discussed keeping their kids off social media when they ended their relationship,” a source says of the pair, who split in May after 10 years of marriage and share three sons total.

 

STUPID NEWS

Headless Mannequin Washes Up On Shore

An environmental nonprofit in Florida said a volunteer walking on a beach discovered what seemed to be a macabre scene — but turned out to be a washed-up store mannequin.  Ocean Hour, a Florida nonprofit that organizes beach clean-up events, said a volunteer named Kathleen was walking the beach on the intercoastal side of Perdido Key when she came across what initially seemed to be human body that was missing its head.  The nonprofit said another witness on the scene called 911, but Kathleen took a closer look and discovered the barnacle-encrusted form was a headless store mannequin that had apparently spent a good amount of time in the water before washing up on the beach.  “We are glad it wasn’t a real body,” Ocean Hour said in a Facebook post.  See the photo HERE.

Runaway Dog Crosses The Border

A dog who escaped from her family’s home in New Brunswick had her homecoming complicated when she crossed the border into the United States.  Paryse Michaud said her father, Robert Sirois, was caring for her German shepherd, Diamond, while she and her husband were at a hockey tournament with their 9-year-old daughter.  Michaud said Sirois opened the garage door at the family’s Clair home and the 17-month-old canine dashed out before he could stop her.  Michaud, who was about four hours away at the hockey tournament, put out a plea for help on Facebook.  “Oh my God, I cried and I cried — I was in a panic” Michaud told the Bangor Daily News. “I was walking like crazy in the hotel room having my phone in my hand and praying that someone can find my dog.”  Reports of sightings started coming in from people who saw Diamond cross into Maine via the International Bridge in Fort Kent and was seen headed toward the Lonesome Pine Trails ski hill in Fort Kent.
********If the dog’s trying to escape, maybe something’s wrong at home!!

Cat Reunited After Put Up For Adoption

A Pennsylvania woman whose cat ran away from home eight years ago was reunited with her long-lost pet when she discovered the feline was up for adoption at a local cat cafe.  Kristen Williams said Snickerdoodle, a tortoiseshell cat, ran away from her home in Watsontown about eight years ago, and despite searching and calling around to local shelters, she was never able to locate her missing pet.  Williams said she was on Facebook a couple weeks ago when her attention was grabbed by a post from the Scratching Post Cat Cafe in Lewisburg.  The post included a photo of a for-adoption cat that Williams immediately recognized as her long-lost Snickerdoodle.  The cat, now named Maria, bore all the same markings as the cat in Williams’ photos, as well as sharing her old pet’s obsession with hanging out in sinks.  Williams said she hadn’t been looking to adopt a cat at the time, but she couldn’t resist the opportunity to bring her long-lost pet home.
********She was shocked to find the pet had a large tattoo and several ex-husbands!!
*******Snickerdoodle told her, “Things are different now. The gang just calls me “Dood!”

Man Eats Raw Fish To Encourage Business

A lawmaker in Sri Lanka bit into a raw fish during a news conference to encourage residents to buy fish and help bolster the slumping industry.  Dilip Wedaarachchi, an opposition lawmaker who formerly served as the country’s fisheries minister, said during his news conference that the COVID-19 pandemic had led to a slump in Sri Lanka’s fish industry, a major source of the country’s revenue.  Wedaarachchi said fish sales took a large hit when a coronavirus outbreak was traced to the Central Fish Market in Colombo, the country’s commercial capital.  “I am making an appeal to the people of this country to eat this fish. Don’t be afraid. The coronavirus will not infect you,” the lawmaker said, before taking a bite out of a raw fish.  See the video HERE.
******He then died of coronavirus!!
*****We wouldn’t say anything in public about the virus!! Have you noticed that everyone who does seems to get the disease??
******Those fish didn’t have the COVID!! They just had a bad cold!!

Worst Things To Do While Dining Out During COVID-19, According To Servers

Huffington Post

 

  1. Acting like putting on a mask for a few minutes is the end of the world

“We’re washing our hands upward of 30 times per shift, meticulously sanitizing each table in between guests, regularly checking our temperatures, getting tested at the slightest hint of symptoms, and wearing our masks anywhere from four to 11 hours straight. The least you can do is wear yours for the two minutes I’m at your table.” ― Cambryn Hunter, a server in Louisiana

“I have had an obscene amount of full-grown adults throw tantrums over wearing a mask because ‘they’ll only be indoors for a second.’ Of course, there are also the ones who actually wear the mask … and pull it down while speaking. WHY?!” ― Mia Mainville, a server in Texas

 

  1. Coming into the restaurant to pick up their takeout without wearing a mask

“Everyone knows they’re supposed to wear a mask while dining in but they think it’s all right to ignore it if they’re going to be in the restaurant for ‘only a minute.’ When I’m wearing my mask for five hours straight, glasses fogged up and the elastic cutting into my ears, it’s disrespectful when people waltz in without one. And pulling your shirt up over your mouth or holding your arm in front of your face doesn’t count.” ― Darron Cardosa, a server in New York City and blogger at The Bitchy Waiter

 

  1. Seating themselves

“People will walk in and just try to sit themselves at a table when it hasn’t been properly sanitized yet, or it might be not socially distanced from other tables and then they get frustrated at us when we ask them to move or wait for it to be cleaned. Essentially, I just wish people had more patience and compassion during these times in all things, not even just in restaurants. Everyone is having a hard time.” ― Allie, a server in New York

 

  1. Not using an indoor voice inside the restaurant ― and spreading germs in the process.

“One of the most annoying things is when guests are being loud since that spreads germs in a bigger radius than it otherwise would. It’s equally annoying when people cough or spit when they’re talking to you or when they hand you their debit card or cash. It makes everything feel really unsafe when it comes to the risk of catching coronavirus.” ― Nicholas Prince, a server in San Antonio

 

  1. Not tipping on carryout orders

“My restaurant has only been open for dine-in for about three months and we are still doing over 75% of our sales in carryout orders. Customers will LITERALLY stand there and write $0 on the tip line, citing, ‘It’s ONLY a to-go order.’ Guess what ― we work just as hard to put together your orders as we do to wait on your table!” ― Mainville

 

  1. Tipping poorly in general

“Hoping for a decent tip is such a gamble even when things are normal. But now? Here in Maryland, we are at half capacity (and about to drop to a quarter), which means I’m already making half the money I would normally be making. It is completely unacceptable to beg for us to remain open, complain about state restrictions as if we are the ones who created them, and then not tip a minimum of 20%. You should be tipping at least 30%. And if you can afford to, you should be tipping 50%.” ― Bessman

“Bad tippers are the worst. That 20% ensures that I get paid, and so do the bar helpers and/or bussers. And people who say they’ll tip more or that they’re fantastic tippers? Nine times out of 10 they’re the worst tippers.” ― Michelle, a server in Houston

 

  1. Complaining about menu items not being available

“You may not be able to get the table you want or the menu may be so limited that the kitchen cannot accommodate your individual requests. This is not due to any maliciousness on the part of the restaurant, it’s a result of trying to juggle state and local laws combined with limited revenue due to the pandemic.” ― Ambrose, a server in Boston

“This one, to me, is truly hilarious. I work in a sushi restaurant. Do people realize how ridiculous they sound, questioning with incredulity how we could possibly be out of a fish we import from Japan? Sir, why would you want us to rush our deliveries on raw animal products? Would that ever make sense? They put the pressure on, roll their eyes and act as if it’s some choice we made. Well yes, Brad, we did make the choice to serve you quality fresh products rather than old crap that was available.” ― Bessman

 

  1. Asking servers to take off their masks for any reason at all

“This is actually quite common, and I’ve noticed it happens much more frequently to my female co-workers. Not only are you asking your server to put their health in danger, but this is basically just another iteration of general customer-employee workplace harassment, with a COVID twist. Extremely inappropriate.” ― Ambrose

 

  1. Wearing out your welcome after you’ve finished your meal

“We’re thrilled that they decided to support their local restaurant, but with seating capacity at less than 100%, table space is even more valuable than it used to be. When a customer is finished eating, it’d be nice if they recognized that servers and restaurants make money by turning over tables. Sitting at that prime booth for 30 minutes after the check has been paid means it’s costing everyone at the restaurant money. Eat, say thank you, and then let someone else have the table.” ― Cardosa

 

  1. Complaining about the lack of condiments on the table

“People come in and complain that we don’t have salt, pepper, ketchup or other condiments already on the table like we used to. At the beginning of reopening we were using single-use products such as salt, pepper, and ketchup packets but now that we’ve switched back to the normal containers, we take them off to sanitize them between uses and limit uses to those who don’t need them.” ― Allie

 

  1. Acting as if the health of the restaurant’s staff doesn’t matter

“Some customers treat waitstaff as if they’re not people. ‘We don’t have to wear masks. There’s nobody else in the restaurant’ is a common thing to overhear when employees outnumber the guests.” ― Speed

 

  1. Complaining about constantly evolving COVID-19 rules

“Servers have absolutely nothing to do with any of the restrictions, yet servers are the ones who endure the wrath of the angry customer. We don’t want to do temperature checks any more than customers want to have them done, but we do what we’re told in order to keep our jobs. Please don’t yell at us.” ― Cardosa
