Super Bowl Petition: Fox News says a petition has been started to move the Super Bowl from Sunday to Saturday. Almost 100,000 people have digitally signed Frank Ruggeri's online petition. He says having the Super Bowl on a Sunday costs America money. “It’s really, really important to me is because 17.2 million people miss work. That’s 44 billion dollars less of productivity.

The Internet reacts...

“I believe it’s a change that would benefit everyone”

“Either move it to Saturday or make the Monday after a federal holiday”

“It just makes sense to have the game on a Saturday.”



Wonderwall says Pamela Anderson and Dan Hayhurst are divorcing after a year of marriage. This is Pam's fifth divorce. A source tells Rolling Stone magazine, “Pamela loves as authentically as she lives. The brief marriage was a pandemic whirlwind that simply petered out.” A source tells the NY Post, “Dan was unkind and unsupportive. After you spent two years living every second with someone, you get to know them better — and for worse. They got to know each other better, and in doing so, Pamela realized Dan is in fact not the one. “



OK! magazine claims some at NBC would like to see Jennifer Lopez replace Ariana Grande as a coach on ''The Voice''. A source tells the magazine, “Everyone was excited when Jennifer Lopez was at the show. There have been a lot of big stars performing on The Voice, but there was something different about Jennifer's visit. All the top execs and producers were on-set that day and after she finished filming there was a lot of closed-door meeting trying to convince her to join the show full-time. At the end of the day Ariana Grande didn’t bring in the ratings. She has more social media followers than all the other stars combined, yet her fans didn’t tune in."


Entertainment Tonight says Tori Spelling is trying to save her marriage to Dean McDermott. A source tells the TV show; "Tori and Dean are still going through a rough patch and a tough space.

Pete adores his mother, but he’s never really asked her for dating advice and isn’t going to start now.”



The E! News Network says Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader have secretly been dating for a year. The two got together after starring in the 2019 Christmas movie ‘’Noelle’’. A source tells People magazine, ‘’She's hosted Saturday Night Live and they've done a movie together, but they got together well after the movie.

Rob Lowe tells ABC that Pat Riley banned him from traveling with the Lakers in the 80s. “Pat Riley ended up barring me from going on the team plane and really barred me from staying in the team hotel…What a badge of honor to be banned by Pat Riley, right?

Ben's interview with Howard Stern didn't really put too much of a strain on their relationship. They understand that things like this happen sometimes, and words can get misconstrued. They are madly in love and Jen totally has Ben's back, which is why she wanted to make her support and stance known publicly. Things between their children are pretty organic at this point. The families respect each other and also get along, so things are all good and fine on that front. Their friends think they will get engaged eventually and it's only a matter of time.''

Daily Wine NOT Good For The Heart


The World Heart Federation says drinking a daily glass of wine does NOT have the health benefits that many have previously claimed. The federation wants the public to know that drinking ANY alcohol increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and digestive problems.


Committee member Monika Arora says, "The portrayal of alcohol as necessary for a vibrant social life has diverted attention from the harms of alcohol use, as have the frequent and widely publicized claims that moderate drinking, such as a glass of red wine a day, can offer protection against cardiovascular disease. These claims are at best misinformed, and at worst an attempt by the alcohol industry to mislead the public about the danger of their product."

Definitely starting this tomorrow"

Dear Fonseca

I have a first date tonight and am confused about what to do. Some of my friends say I should plan a romantic date. My other friends say I shouldn't because it will scare my date and give her the impression that I'm only out for one thing. My other friends disagree and say being romantic is chivalrous. I really like this woman and don't want to blow it. Does a romantic first date send the wrong message? Is it too strong?
