Jeopardy Contestant Denies Being A Hater: Jeopardy contestant Kelly Donohue says he is not a white supremacist even though he was caught on camera during the show flashing a hate sign. He released a statement saying, “I’m truly horrified with what has been posted about me on social media. I absolutely, unequivocally condemn white supremacy and racism of any kind. People who know me personally know that I am not a racist, but for the public at large it bears repeating: I am not a racist and I reject and condemn white supremacy and all forms of bigotry for the evil they are. I deeply regret this terrible misunderstanding. I never meant to hurt a soul and I assure you I am no friend of racists or white supremacists.”
Taylor Swift tells Elle magazine that she deals with bullies and trolls by mocking them. "I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the Internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life, but I can’t tell you how hard I had to keep from laughing every time my 63-foot inflatable cobra named Karyn appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans. It’s the stadium tour equivalent of responding to a troll’s hateful Instagram comment with “LOL.” It would be nice if we could get an apology from people, who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it."
Tate McRae tells Billboard magazine that she pours her emotions out into her music. “I’m really good at envisioning things.

I keep those emotions pent up, so I can create stories around them and shape what I would say from another perspective.”
Maroon 5's Adam Levine tells Billboard magazine that 'The Voice' made him a household name. “The early 2000’s was a different time. Not everyone had a camera on them at all times and you enjoyed a certain kind of privacy. But all that changed when I started became a coach on 'The Voice'. Being on there, changed things. It kind of launched me into the bizarre territory of being, I guess for lack of a better phrase, a household name. So then people’s grandparents know who you are, and then you know, it’s a different thing.”
Contact Music says Maroon 5 is going to release their new album, Jordi, on June 11th.
Dua Lipa tells Rolling Stone magazine that Pink and Nelly Furtado were major influences on her. “Pink and Nelly were significant parts of my life growing up, and I still reference them when I go into the studio now.

It was still pop music but there was a [hard] twist to it – they weren’t afraid to speak the truth and that had a big influence.”

Working Near Windows Study
A new study by University College London reveals that workers are more productive when they sit near windows. Researchers polled dozens of employees before concluding that the happiest and most effective workers sit at desks positioned near windows, rather than walls.
Researchers say, "Staff in smaller open-plan spaces and those facing the room reported higher satisfaction with team cohesion, sharing information with colleagues, concentration and working productively. Our findings raise important questions regarding the current popular practice in workplace design of providing large open-plan offices for technology companies."
The findings may help employers build better work spaces as more workers return to the office following the pandemic.
