BS SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
★ Mama June’s eldest daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell has reportedly been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Family sources confirmed the news the week, following the 28-year-old’s adrenal carcinoma diagnosis in January. Cardwell had been suffering from stomach aches before tests revealed the cancer had spread to her liver, kidney and lung. She is said to have undergone her first round of chemotherapy last month, and doctors are reportedly now waiting to see how she reacts before they decide what to do next.

★ From “Superbad” to super dad! Jonah Hill is expecting his first baby with his partner, Olivia Millar. The mom-to-be debuted her baby bump Monday while shopping in Santa Monica.

Hill and the Chasseresse co-founder, who keep their relationship private, have been dating since 2022.

★ It hasn’t been an east time for Jay Leno. He recently reflected on the 2 accidents he had over the course of 2 months, telling Dana Carvey and David Spade on their podcast that he has “an all-new face. The comedian said: “I did it in 8 days” and only missed 2 shows. The most recent accident was in January when Leno was knocked off his motorcycle. Quote: “I got a broken collarbone, I got two busted ribs, and I got two cracked kneecaps, ’cause I got clotheslined on my motorcycle.” Leno was forced to again call the doctor who patched him up after suffering burns in a garage fire in November, saying: “So I called my face guy. I go, ‘Listen, you know that face, you gave me that new face? I gotta get it fixed.’ I drove up there and he fixed it again.”

★ Melissa Joan Hart lent a helping hand to a group of small children and teachers who were fleeing the Nashville shooting earlier this week. The “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” star shared in an Instagram video that she and her husband, Mark Wilkerson, were on their way to a conference at their kids’ school — not far from where the incident occurred – when they ran into the victims. While getting emotional in her video, Hart said: “We helped a class of kindergarteners across a busy highway that were climbing out of the woods, that were trying to escape the shooter situation at their school.” She also said she and her husband “helped a mom reunite with her children.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/yc68rv89

★ There’s a new version of “The X-Files” on the horizon, from Ryan Coogler, according to series creator Chris Carter. On a podcast, Carter said that Coogler “is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast. So, he’s got his work cut out for him because we covered so much territory.” Most recently, Coogler co-wrote and directed the “Black Panther” follow-up “Wakanda Forever”.

★ Oh my God! They saw ‘Kenny’! Fans of “South Park” went wild after the show revealed Kenny’s face for the first time in more than a decade. In the episode, which aired last Tuesday, Kenny is seen briefly without his iconic orange hoodie during a montage in which he and ‘Cartman’ dream of opening a restaurant. He was shown with perfectly styled blond hair. The legendary cartoon character also wears a pair of aviator-style shades and a T-shirt that reads “restaurant owner.” The last time fans saw underneath Kenny’s hoodie was in 2012, so naturally, it sent the internet into a frenzy, with several Twitter users equating the experience to “seeing a unicorn.”

Tell me, the story is not true.’” Tennessee Orange is currently #16 and rising on the country charts.

SHOOTING THE BULL
THIS WEEK’S MOVIE OPENINGS:
• “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (PG-13, Fantasy, Comedy): A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. (Chris Pine, Justice Smith, Michelle Rodriguez) Tomatometer: 90%, Audience: 94%

WRAPPING CAPER:
Really, who doesn’t wish those strawberries in your fridge would last just a few days longer? Or that fresh fruit that’s been sitting in the bowl on the counter for almost a week? Now, Researchers in Texas have developed a protein-based coating designed to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Rice University researchers came up with the egg-based coating, which they say reduces spoilage in produce, with the aim of addressing both food preservation and waste management challenges. They say their invention could help improve access to fresh produce in “food deserts” – areas with poor access to healthy and affordable foods. They say their invention is biodegradable, and could be beneficial to the environment as well.
(Probably, you won’t need this stuff to preserve chocolate, or cake, or anything like that…)
(It’d have to REALLY work a miracle to be able to preserve that spring salad in my fridge until we got around to eating it…!)

PAIN ‘SPLAIN:
Just in case there was any doubt, a survey shows that 64% of people agree that swearing after you’ve been hurt actually lessens the pain. 64% of Brits said, to them, swearing helps take the edge off the pain of a minor injury, and science backs them up. More on that in a second. People had no argument when it came to the word that’s most effective as a natural analgesic. As you might imagine, I can’t say it here, but it starts with “F”. The study, by insights agency Perspectus Global, also found that the average Brit man has more of a potty-mouth than women, swearing 10 times a day compared to 8 for women. Neuropsychologist Dr. Rachel Taylor says: “The science shows that when people swear, it can activate the amygdala which in turn triggers a fight-or-flight response. This leads to a surge in adrenaline, a natural form of pain relief.”
(I can’t stop swearing no matter how hard I try. It truly is a “curse”!)
(Yeah, when I step on a Lego, that adrenaline surge is gonna happen, whether I swear or not. That’s totally hypothetical, by the way…because if I step on a Lego, I’m definitely swearing!)

GENIUS APRIL FOOLS’ DAY PRANKS YOUR KIDS WILL TOTALLY FALL FOR:
(Because kids don’t get a free pass on April 1st…)
✓ Put a bowl of your kid’s favorite cereal and milk in the freezer overnight, then watch in the morning as your unsuspecting kid clanks a spoon against the frozen milk.
✓ Put a twist on a sunny-side-up egg. A halved peach in yogurt not only looks like an egg, but also makes a delicious breakfast.
✓ Stuff toilet paper into the toe of your kid’s shoes. Especially fun if you casually mention first thing in the morning that her feet look bigger.
✓ Put a ‘For Sale’ sign in your front yard.
✓ Confuse your kid on the ride to school by sticking a sign on the rear of your vehicle reading: “Honk and wave and yell at my kid [name] … he doesn’t know it’s April Fools Day!”
✓ Make –ahem — ‘chocolate chip cookies’ out of mashed potatoes and black beans.
✓ Put a photocopy of your face under the toilet seat and close the lid.
✓ Make candied apples with onions. Your kid will find it hilarious … in a decade or two.
✓ A mashed potato sundae also makes for quite the surprise.
✓ Serve up a glass of juice that is really Jell-O. That first sip will be classic.
✓ Tell your kid you bought her a new iPad. Give her a pirate’s eye patch from a Halloween costume. “I’m sorry, did I say iPad? I meant I bought you an eye pad.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD:
➢ According to the US Transportation Security Administration, peanut butter is now a “liquid”. And that means you might want to re-think bringing that jar of Skippy on your next vacation. The TSA took to Twitter this week to make the announcement of PB’s new classification, explaining that you can only bring it in your carry-on if it’s 3.4oz or less. Demonstrating that the gov’t agency isn’t totally without humor, the TSA posted: “You may not be nuts about it, but TSA considers your PB a liquid.” How is it they figure that something that “sticks to the roof of your mouth” is a liquid? Accompanied by the message was a pic of a jar of peanut butter, with the words: “Peanut butter… a liquid, has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.” (OK, it IS a liquid when it melts on my toast and runs down my arm…but that rarely happens on a plane!)
➢ The TikTok account for the popular snack Fruit Roll-Ups has uploaded a video to debunk recent viral posts saying people can eat the snack WITHOUT removing the plastic lining. Some users also suggested that there is actually no plastic on the product, and posted videos showing themselves eating the entire snack without removing anything. In Fruit Roll-Ups’ video, a woman is seen unwrapping a Fruit Roll-Up. As she bites in, the plastic lining becomes visible as it separated slightly from the food. She says: “Nope. Plastic.” In the caption, Fruit Roll-Ups wrote: “Legal is making me clarify that you should not attempt to eat plastic.” (But let’s be honest here: If you eat Fruit Roll-Ups, eating a bit of plastic isn’t much of a stretch!)

DID YOU KNOW?
Maybe it’s a good thing that dozens of tech leaders, including Elon Musk, have signed a letter calling for artificial intelligence labs to stop developing powerful AI systems for at least 6 months, citing “profound risks to society and humanity.” This week, a judge in India asked AI if a murder and assault defendant should be let out on bail. Left at a loss for how to handle the situation, judge Anoop Chitkara decided to seek counsel from GPT-4, ChatGPT’s latest update that “exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks”. Armed with the Chat-torney’s legal expertise, the judge ultimately rejected the defendant’s bail bid.

BS CHRONOMETER 03.31.23
TODAY’S BS REASONS TO PARTY . . .
• “Farm Workers Day”, encouraging us to thank agricultural laborers for their role in growing what we eat. (Remember, today is for farm WORKERS, not their boss, the C-I-E-I-O!)
• “She’s Funny That Way Day”, paying tribute to the female funny bone. How do the women in your life make you laugh? (***Ask for quirky things that funny ladies do***)
• “Dance Marathon Day”, Dance marathons are events where people dance or walk to music for an extended period of time. They started as dance contests in the 1920s and developed into entertainment events during the Great Depression in the 1930s.
• “National Crayon Day”, celebrating the invention of crayons and the joy of coloring. It’s a perfect day to dust off your crayons and spend the day coloring. (Crayons are like M&Ms . . .They taste the same no matter what color they are!)
• “National Prom Day”, a day created to honor friendship, cherish memories, celebrate history, and enjoy the fun and excitement this milestone event brings (***Who has a prom disaster story?***)
• “International Transgender Day of Visibility”, to celebrate transgender people and raise awareness of the discrimination faced by them. It’s also a celebration of their contributions to society.
• “World Backup Day”, a reminder to be prepared against data loss and data theft. Today, back up and better protect your data. (I know some people who have no idea how to back up…their computer OR their car!)
SATURDAY-
• “April Fool’s Day”. The custom of playing practical jokes today originated with the reform of the calendar when “New Year’s Day” was moved from April 1 to January 1. Those who clung to the old “New Year’s Day” were scoffed at as ‘fools’ and sent fake party invitations and prank gifts. That tradition began in France around 1564, where an ‘April Fool’ is called a ‘poisson d’avril’ (April fish).
• “St Stupid’s Day”, a celebration on April 1st in San Francisco since 1980, when a wacky parade is held. The occasion’s dim-witted activities include the ‘high four’ handshake (hand up, palm towards partner, fold thumb across palm, slap high four, say “Ouch!”).
• “International Tatting Day”, NOT what you’re thinking! This celebrates the technique of handcrafting lace by using a series of knots and loops. (You can never have too many doilies, right?)
• “One Cent Day”, celebrating the world’s most useless currency … the penny. It now costs 2.41 cents to manufacture a penny in the U.S. The US Mint has announced that it will make its last batch of pennies today (unless that’s an April Fool’s joke…). Other countries that no longer use the penny (or its equivalent) include Australia, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Sweden.
• “Boomer Bonus Day”, a day where Baby Boomers (people born 1946-64) get a special price on their purchases. (It’s a nice way of saying “Senior’s prices.”)
• Fun at Work Day”, because experts say when we enjoy our work, we are more productive. Here are a few suggestions . . .
✓ Find out where your boss shops, and buy the same exact outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (Especially effective if your boss is a different gender.)
✓ Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
✓ Include a piece of your kid’s artwork as a cover page for all reports you write.
✓ When answering your phone, talk in a fake British accent.
✓ Make up nicknames for all your co-workers and refer to them only by these names. (“That’s a good point, Sparky.”)
✓ Take a picture of your boss, have it framed and display it prominently on your desk. (Or a pic of his wife!)
✓ Leave the photocopy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17-inch paper, 99 copies.
✓ Send e-mail to the rest of the company telling them EXACTLY what you’re doing. (“If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the bathroom.”)
✓ Pretend your computer mouse is a CB radio mic. Talk to it.
SUNDAY-
• “Ferret Day”, celebrating those cute & cuddly little pets that are the domesticated form of the European polecat, a mammal belonging to the weasel genus. (Don’t you just love it when they crawl up your pant leg?)
• “International Children’s Book Day”, celebrated on the birthday of one of the most famous children’s authors, Hans Christian Andersen, born in Denmark on this day in 1805. He wrote 168 fairy tales in all, including “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and “The Little Mermaid”.
BS LEAST RECOMMENDED CHILDREN’S BOOKS:

– “Whining, Kicking & Crying to Get Your Way”
– “Places Where Mommy & Daddy Hide Neat Things”
– “The Mouse, the Motorcycle, And the Organ Donor Card”
– “How to Write Your Name in the Snow”
• “Peanut Butter & Jelly Day”, celebrating what may be the world’s most popular sandwich. But what else have you sandwiched with peanut butter? We like PB & tuna. Nummers!
• “Love Your Produce Manager Day”, a day to appreciate the person who orders and stocks fresh fruits and vegetables at groceries and supermarkets. (So, go ahead … squeeze his melons!)
• “Reconciliation Day”, a day to write a letter or make a phone call in order to mend a broken relationship. (“Dear Boss: Sorry about that April Fool’s Day whoopee cushion …”)
• “World Autism Day”, a UN observance since 2007 to raise awareness of this disorder of neural development. Approximately 1 in 54 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
• “Fact Checking Day”, With the rise of “fake news,” this day is dedicated to fact-checking, and it purposely takes place the day after April Fools’ Day. LINK: https://factcheckingday.com/
• “Palm Sunday”, the beginning of Holy Week, taking place on the Sunday before Easter. It commemorates the Christian belief of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and the last days of his life.
