BS SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
(***UPDATE***) ★ Alec Baldwin and prop armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed will both be charged with 2 counts of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western drama “Rust”. After a more than year-long investigation into the October 21 incident, Santa Fe County district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced the charges yesterday. The 42-year-old Hutchins died after a gun Baldwin was holding for a rehearsal fired a live round of ammunition into her chest, passing through and striking writer-director Joel Souza in the shoulder. The movie’s assistant director, Dave Halls, who handed the weapon to Baldwin and announced it was a “cold gun,” signed a plea bargain accepting a suspended sentence and 6 months probation for negligent use of a deadly weapon.

★ Jennifer Lopez experienced “a little PTSD” before marrying Ben Affleck. On “Jimmy Kimmel”, she explained that because the couple’s previous engagement “fell apart,” she kept asking herself whether their second attempt at tying the knot was “really happening”. And that explains why they decided to tie the knot in Vegas last July. J-Lo told the host: “We were so happy and, of course, it was happening, but the wedding was so stressful…One day, Ben just said…let’s just go to Vegas and get married tonight.” One month after the pair tied the knot in Sin City, they went on to wed again in front of family and friends in Georgia.

★ Troubled Amanda Bynes reuniting with her fellow “All That” cast members in her first public gig in years. Bynes is heading to ’90s Con this spring to be a part of the All That panel alongside Kel Mitchell, Danny Tamberelli and Lori Beth Denberg. The nostalgia-rich convention, which is reuniting the casts from several iconic ’90s productions, will be held at the Connecticut Convention Center March 17-19. Bynes told People that she’s “really excited to reunite with my cast mates and meet the fans.”

★ “Boy Meets World” star Ben Savage is turning his attention from Hollywood to Washington. The 42-year-old is making a run for a seat in the U.S House of Representatives — specifically, he’s vying for California’s 30th District seat, currently occupied by Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat. Savage — also a registered Democrat — filed paperwork on Wednesday, declaring his intention to run. The actor previously interned with late Rep. Arlen Specter in 2003, as part of his his studies in political science at Stanford University.

★ The 2-episode premiere of “Night Court” ushered in some impressive ratings for NBC. The workplace comedy, a reboot of the original that ran for 9 seasons in the ‘80s, debuted with back-to-back episodes on Tuesday. The first episode delivered the highest-rated and most-watched program of the night with a whopping 1.0 rating in the advertiser-targeted 18-49 demo, according to Nielsen. That’s a feat that no network show has managed this season without an assist from an NFL lead-in. The episode also managed 7.4M total viewers. The second episode averaged 6.7M viewers, still very high even for an established series.

★ “Avatar: The Way of Water” is now the highest grossing film of the post-shutdown era, with $1.92 billion at the global box office, passing “Spider-Man: No Way Home” for #6 all-time. The next big milestone for “Avatar 2” will be the $2 billion mark, which it is just $78 million away from reaching. When it gets there, it’ll join the first “Avatar,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Titanic,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” on the exclusive list of films to reach that mark, with James Cameron being director of 3 of them.

★ I hope you’ve managed to get over seeing “M3GAN”, because a sequel is on the way. It’s been announced that “M3GAN 2.0”, now in development, will see stars Allison Williams and Violet McGraw return, with the original film’s screenwriter Akela Cooper penning the script. Released earlier this month, “M3GAN” has become the first box office hit of 2023, grossing $91.9 million globally against a $12 million production budget. M3GAN 2.0 is set for release January 17, 2025.

SHOOTING THE BULL
THIS WEEK’S MOVIE OPENINGS:

THIS TAKES THE CAKE (or not):
The head of a food watchdog has raised some eyebrows by saying that people should NOT bring treats like donuts, cakes or other sweets into the office to share with co-workers — for the sake of their colleagues’ health. Prof Susan Jebb, chairwoman of the Food Standards Agency in the UK, said that while it is a choice to eat sweet treats, people can help each other by providing a “supportive environment”, presumably by not tempting them with baked goods or other delicacies. Speaking in a personal capacity, she also likened the tempting of co-workers with sugary foods to “passive smoking” and said that the advertising of junk food is “undermining people’s free will”.
(Wow! Who peed in her Count Chocula?!?)
(Does she have any idea what would happen to me around here if, one day, I brought in celery and carrot sticks instead of donuts?)

STREAMING REDEEMED:
We all have our “comfort foods”. And most of us have our “comfort shows”. Those sitcoms, like “Friends”, Seinfeld” or “The Office” that we’re happy to watch over and over…and over. Or maybe it’s a more recent hit like “The White Lotus” or “Wednesday”, or some kind of true crime show. And you know what? That’s OK. No need to feel guilty. In fact, rewatching a movie, series or single episode that you love has been found to enhance our wellbeing. Robert N Kraft, a professor of cognitive psychology at Otterbein University in Ohio, says that repeated viewing of familiar material helps fulfil our emotional needs, provides comfort, gives us a sense of control over our lives, and connects us with our past. In Psychology Today, he wrote: “When rewatching familiar shows, we receive the stories and emotions we expect. We know how the episodes end and, more importantly, how we’ll feel when they end.” Kraft says that’s one reason we’re more likely to choose comedies for repeated viewing instead of dramas or tragedies, and much like watching familiar holiday movies every December, we look forward to the positive emotional payoff at the end.
(Except I’ve been asleep for 45 minutes by then…!)
(He also says that if your go-to comfort show is anything by M. Night Shyamalan, you need to seek help – immediately!)

NEWS OF THE WEIRD:
➢ A McDonald’s customer in Indiana didn’t want to complain when his order for a Sausage McMuffin came packed with a bag full of thousands of dollars in cash. A video shared by TikTok user @dookiedoeboy shows him holding the McDonald’s bag filled with what appear to be smaller baggies of cash. While recording, the man asks, “What is this? Why would they do this? You know how bad I want this money?” But he said he would return the money because he’s a “good person, I guess.” When the man returned to the restaurant, he jokingly asked, “Are you guys laundering money in here?” He then explains that the money turned out to be a cash deposit that was mistakenly given to him. Grateful employees rewarded his good deed with $200 and free McDonald’s for a month. (As long as he doesn’t tell the manager!) LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3dp5edy5
➢ A young lady in Britain fell in love with a cat named Moose last year and decided to give her a furrever home. But when 23-year-old Abigail Laker took Moose in for spaying, the vet noted something strange. He asked if the cat always breathed so fast, as it “could be something serious.” Cats usually breathe at a rate of 15-30 breaths per minute. Laker says she began observing Moose, and “was having to rush her to the vets when it would be over 100 a minute.” Here’s the good news: After spending US$8,700 on tests, and after a stressful period of several months, the results came in. In Abigail’s words: “A specialist vet ended up diagnosing Moose, he basically told me that Moose is just a bit weird.” (Same, Moose…same!)

DID YOU KNOW?
A recent survey of culinary aficionados sought to determine the best cookie available to buy in stores. The cookie lovers ranked them on features including texture, smell, size and taste (obviously). The eventual winner? Good old Oreos. The “cookie monsters” concluded: “No matter how you eat them, they’re always good. They’re the only cookie in the world that’ll satisfy you when they’re fresh, stale, or frozen. It’s a holy trinity. These are God’s cookies.” (No, they’re not. They’re mine…ALL MINE!!)

BS CHRONOMETER 01.20.23
TODAY’S BS REASONS TO PARTY . . .
• “Cheese Lover’s Day”, celebrating the more than 2,000 known cheeses of the world. Which is best? Mmm, 18-month-old Comté from France. LINK: http://tinyurl.com/jsnxhp7
CHEESY FACTS:
➢ Cheese was created over 4,000 years ago — by accident.
➢ It takes 10 pounds of milk to make just one pound of cheese.
➢ Of the more than 2,000 varieties of cheese available worldwide, mozzarella is the favorite.
➢ If a cheese is named after a city, it’s capitalized. Examples include Asiago, Brie, Camembert, Gouda, and Parmesan.
➢ Mice don’t particularly like cheese. They prefer sweets and carbs.
• “Sweatpants Day”, introduced in the 1920s by Le Coq Sportif, a sports equipment and clothing company. The original sweatpants were knitted gray jersey pants which were designed to help athletes exercise easier. (Picture Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky”, “Rocky II”, “Rocky III” …)
• “Penguin Awareness Day”, to bring attention to the interrelationship between humans and marine animals. FUN FACT: 37 million years ago, one species of penguin grew to a height of 6 foot 8 inches (2.03m).
• “Take a Walk Outdoors Day”. Nature affects our body and soul in amazing ways. People who walk outdoors report less depression, anxiety, and more productivity and creativity. And besides, spending the entire Winter ‘mall-walking’ can turn you all pasty-white.
• “Camcorder Day”, a tribute to videography of all varieties. Perhaps you’re a professional and enjoy shooting wildlife (with a lens, not a gun), or an extreme sports fan who attaches a GoPro to your helmet before jumping out of a plane (or maybe you just watch TikTok all day…!)
• “International Day of Acceptance”, dedicated to the social acceptance of disability and to honor the late Annie Hopkins, founder of 3E Love and creator of the International Symbol of Acceptance.
• “National Disc Jockey Day”, dedicated to the pros who play the tunes at clubs, bars, weddings, and even concerts. But since ‘disc jockey’ is also a term used to describe what WE do, we’re taking ownership!
BS WAYS EVERYONE CAN CELEBRATE “DJ DAY”:
• Whenever you’re talking to someone, hold a hand over one ear.
• Throw a party where everyone mingles about, telling the time & temp.
• Give away stuff that’s not yours.
• Get laughs by using cheap sound effects instead of coming up with actual jokes. (***SFX***)
• Do play-by-play of the traffic on your way to work.
• Talk DEEP!
SATURDAY-
• “Hugging Day”, Today, offer a hug to anyone you think would like one. Hugging, like cuddling, releases oxytocin, which not only feels good, it reduces pain and stress, lowers blood pressure, and lowers the risk of heart disease. It also eases anxiety. LINK: http://www.nationalhuggingday.com
• “Granola Bar Day”, saluting the formerly healthful treat that, these days, is more than likely loaded with sugar, salt, chocolate, and some kind of hardened white gunk that they claim is yogurt.
• “Squirrel Appreciation Day”. There are over 200 types of squirrels in North America alone, which can be put into 3 groups: Ground squirrels, tree squirrels and flying squirrels, which can’t actually fly, but have flaps of skin that allow them to glide from tree to tree. (Or from my roof to my bird feeder…)
• “New England Clam Chowder Day”, different varieties include: New England, Manhattan, Rhode Island, Down East, and Outer Banks. New England clam chowder is made with milk or cream, and the use of tomatoes is frowned upon. In fact, in 1939 the state of Maine made it illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder!
• “Playdate Day”, a reminder that a playdate is a great way to unglue your children from screens and get them to experience the great outdoors. Today, schedule time for your kids to grow by playing outside.
• “One-Liners Day”, with award season upon us, this occasion celebrates the best one-liners in films. Here are a few:
☞ “I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.” — Airplane
☞ “There are 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.” – The Blues Brothers
☞ “I’m glad he’s single, because I’m going to climb that like a tree.” — Bridesmaids
☞ “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!” — Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
☞ “These go to eleven.” – Spinal Tap (What’s YOUR favorite?)
SUNDAY-
• “Chinese New Year”, also called Lunar New Year, an annual festival in China and Chinese communities around the world that begins with the new moon and culminates with the Lantern Festival. This is the beginning of the ‘Year of the Rabbit’. LINK: https://chinesenewyear.net/
• “Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day”, a day to concentrate on your feline and answer the questions you think it’s asking. People often consider cats unaffectionate, but the truth is, they only talk to humans. Studies show they rarely ‘meow’ at other cats.
• “Celebration of Life Day”, a day to honor the gift of children and grandchildren. (Because having “a 2-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.” — Jerry Seinfeld)
• “Hot Sauce Day”, if you are one of those people who feels that “spicy” is never quite spicy enough, Hot Sauce Day is the perfect day for you! Current best-rated hot sauce on Amazon: “Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce”.
• “Polka Dot Day”, Today, we celebrate Disney’s most esteemed fashionista – ‘Minnie Mouse’. Minnie is not only Mickey Mouse’s beloved counterpart, but also a sassy and sweet pop culture icon who popularized the polka dot pattern.
• “Roe vs. Wade Day”, the day that changed everything. Jan. 22, 1973, the US Supreme Court announced its decision that the constitutional right to privacy includes a right to abortion. 50 years later, we celebrate Roe vs. Wade Day as a historical moment in women’s rights.
• “Blonde Brownie Day”, the blonde brownie uses vanilla and brown sugar as ingredients in place of the chocolate or cocoa of traditional chocolate brownies. Also known as “blondies”.
