The Happy Headline of the Day – Friday, July 9

About a month ago, the Supreme Court ruled that nobody could stop college athletes from earning money with their names, images and likenesses.
Well, the quarterback of the University of Texas Longhorns football team — Casey Thompson — is putting these new rules to good use … by raising money to combat childhood hunger.
Casey joined an Internet video service called Cameo that allows celebrities to charge fans money for personalized video messages. Casey ended up charging fans $50 for each message — and then donated all the money he raised to the No Kid Hungry campaign.
Casey is one of the first college athletes to use his fame to help those in need. But, he’s hoping that others follow in his footsteps and find ways to inspire fans to help others as well. (Sports Illustrated)

How would you like a little BACON in your ice cream?  The Food Network is about to oblige.
They have a new show coming out next month called “Ben & Jerry’s: Clash of the Cones” . . . where six ice cream makers have to come up with flavors that capture the “essence” of a celebrity.
And one of those celebrities will be KEVIN BACON.  LUDACRIS is another.

‘Shark Week’ is back. And for the first time, cameras were put INSIDE a shark’s mouth to show Jaws from a new perspective. Razor sharp teeth and a pulsing muscle in the sharks throat has people freaked out. The extraordinary footage is a world’s first. Even adventurer Paul de Gelder was blown away by it. He lost an arm and a leg in a shark attack in 2009. This is Discovery channel’s 33rd annual ‘Shark Week.’

And speaking of Shark Week, Robert Irwin is following in his father, Steven Irwin’s, footsteps. He’s swimming with sharks during this year’s ‘Shark Week.’ He says he’s proud to carry on his dad’s legacy. Irwin was just two years old when his father died in a stingray attack while filming at the Great Barrier Reef. On Irwin’s ‘Shark Week’ special, he releases some vintage footage of him as a baby holding an alligator with his proud dad.

Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter to Vice President Kamala Harris, has made her Paris Fashion Week debut.
The 22-year-old, who walked the runway for Balenciaga, signed a modeling contract after she made headlines for her outfit at the inauguration in January.

Designer Lazaro Hernandez has called Ella an “ambassador of the new moment,” and said that she represents “this idea of a new beginning, a whole new chapter in American life, in American culture.”

Do you carry cash? Do you use cash? Maybe you should. A new survey found that 51% of respondents said using cash helps them budget their money. Surprisingly, Gen Z (52%) were the most likely to use cash over other types of payment.
Also, the average person has $52 in their wallet right now.  And there’s a limit to how much we’ll use in a single transition.  If something costs more than $31, we’ll almost always use a card. The top things we still use cash for . . .
1.  Tips at restaurants and bars, or for delivery drivers.
2.  Fast food.
3.  Candy and snacks.
4.  Coffee.
5.  Gas.
6.  Groceries.
7.  Drinks at a bar.

Mariah Carey‘s older brother just took his defamation suit against the diva up a notch — with new legal papers calling her “vindictive” and implying that she’s a drunk.
In papers filed Tuesday, Morgan Carey blasted Mimi for saying she presented some negative stories about him to “inspire troubled youth.” He says, “It is particularly ironic to hear Mariah assert that her intention was not to defame me. This is coming from someone whose public behavior includes glamorizing her excessive drinking and as well as other behaviors which would be in poor taste to mention here.”
The 61-year-old also notes that Mariah has gone through more than 20 management teams and dozens of feuds as proof of her “vindictive” nature. Morgan is seeking over a million bucks in compensation, because he says The Meaning of Mariah Carey harmed his reputation and caused a potential deal for a film project to fall through.
Morgan isn’t the only Carey angry with Mariah’s book. Their sister Alison filed suit back in February. (New York Post)

86-year-old Fran Petersen of Getzville, New York, has stayed busy through the years by creating handmade greeting cards. Since retiring from teaching 25 years ago, Fran has devoted countless hours to creating these cards. Even through the pandemic, she kept making the cards and selling them to people who were calling with special requests.
And, every dollar she has earned from the cards has been donated to charity — a staggering $127,000 so far.
She does it all — making birthday cards, thank you cards, get well cards and sympathy cards. You name it, she’ll make it. Each one is handcrafted, unique and made with tedious detail.
Her most popular cards include glued-on flowers that she grows in her garden and dries and presses herself.
Fran says she’s never bored and always has something to do. And thanks to her works of art, thousands of dollars have gone to help those dealing with cystic fibrosis. (WGRZ-TV)

Robert Downey Junior has paid tribute to his father, Robert Downey Senior, who died Tuesday at age 85.
Along with a photo of the filmmaker, the Iron Man star wrote, “Last night, dad passed peacefully in his sleep after years of enduring the ravages of Parkinson’s [disease].”
Downey called his father, who directed the 1969 countercultural satire Putney Swope, “a true maverick filmmaker.” He added that his dad “remained remarkably optimistic throughout” his battle with the nervous system disorder.
Downey ended his Instagram post with a message to Downey Senior’s third wife, saying, “You are a saint, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.”

Turns out Drake Bell is married and a father — news he broke a few days after pleading guilty last month to attempted child endangerment.
The former Nickelodeon star made the announcement on June 29th, in Spanish, which is why it wasn’t immediately picked up on. He wrote, “In response to various rumors that are incorrect, I have been married for almost 3 years, and we are blessed to be the parents of a wonderful son. Thank you very much to all my fans around the world for your good wishes.”
Several days earlier, Drake pleaded guilty to crimes “against a minor,” a felony.

Angelina Jolie doesn’t want to be in business with Brad Pitt anymore. The actress is looking to sell her stake in the French winery company she owns with her ex.
But according to TMZ, a judge has to lift a restraining order on the transfer of the couple’s assets, which was put in place automatically when their divorce proceedings began a few years back.
Angie reportedly has an offer for her portion of the business, and she needs the freeze removed immediately before she loses the deal.
Brad and Angelina bought the vineyard in 2011 for a reported $60 million.

National Freezer Pop Day: A good day for an ice pop.

Why do dogs circle before they do their business? There are a number of theories. One is that they are giving a 360-degree look at their surroundings before getting in that vulnerable position. Another is that they are spreading their scent to mark their territory – kind of like with pee marking. Then there’s the theory that they are making themselves a nice, clean place to go to the bathroom. And then there’s the magnetic field theory. This one claims that dogs use the force of the Earth’s magnetic fields to choose their pooping place, preferring the north-south axis of the Earth. According to researchers at a university in Prague, dogs prefer to “excrete with the body being aligned along the north-south axis.” Well, there you have it … sort of.

When did you get serious about your finances? A new study has found that, on average, we hit our peak financial recklessness at the age of . . . 22. While they zeroed in on that age, most people said they didn’t think about their finances or budgeting enough when they were younger . . . and that they were 25 before they started “growing up” in terms of handling their money. But by that point, some people suffer dings to their credit score.  The average respondent hit their credit score low point when they were 27. 58% said they don’t think they would’ve EVER gotten their money in order if it weren’t for having a “rude awakening” . . . things like having a child, being cut off from their parents, or applying for a home loan. Or, you know, the pandemic.  45% of people said last year was a financial rude awakening for them.

Speaking of finances, you may be waiting a while for your tax return. There’s word the IRS is a mess! A congressional report says nearly 35 million tax returns still haven’t been processed and only 3 percent of phone calls to the IRS are being answered (sounds like an airline). Millions of Americans are waiting for an average return of about 28-hundred bucks.

Two weeks ago in court, Britney Spears made 10 demands including her freedom and jailing her corrupt family. But first, she needs a lawyer who will fight –- unlike the court-appointed attorney — for her emancipation.
Her mother, Lynne Spears, supports Britney – up to a point. She asked the court to allow Britney to hire a new lawyer of her choosing. Previously, the judge never allowed her to make those decisions because Jamie Spears convinced the court that Britney has dementia.
Lynne Spears submitted paperwork declaring that Britney has recovered from a meltdown 13 years ago. (quote) “She is able to care for herself and has done so for the past many years.” (TMZ)
Meanwhile, Britney drew a line in the sand. She’s endured her final mental evaluation. She refused to undergo testing by shrinks to gain her freedom. An insider told People magazine that Britney “does not trust the doctors assigned by the conservatorship.”
Typically, a doctor must confirm that a person is mentally capable of providing for themselves without a conservatorship. Britney asked the judge to skip that step. She may learn if the judge agrees at the court hearing on July 14th.

A few of the guys from *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys formed a supergroup last month for a Los Angeles Pride party. That set into motion a four-night residency in Las Vegas.
The Venetian Resort plays host to Back-Sync-Boyz from August 19th to 22nd. Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men has joined *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone plus AJ McLean and Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys.
Joey Fatone said, (quote) “Working together has brought up so many memories. I’m excited to see how the fans react. We’re getting our setlist together and coming up with crazy, interesting ideas.”
Tickets go on sale this Saturday via Ticketmaster and The Venetian. (Variety)

While scuba diving in the Cheboygan River in Michigan last month, Jennifer Dowker found a treasure. A small, green glass bottle with a piece of paper rolled up inside was sitting at the bottom of the river, just underneath Jennifer’s glass-bottom boat.
Sure enough. It was a message in a bottle.
She worked together with her employee, Rob Hemmer, to open the bottle. While the paper inside was wet, it was still readable. The message requested that the bottle be returned to a man named George Morrow.
Using social media, Jennifer was able to track down George’s daughter, Michele Primeau.
Michele was excited to see the bottle and the note — and explained to Jennifer that her dad, George — a World War II veteran who passed away in 1995 — probably dropped the bottle into the river right around his 18th birthday.
Although Jennifer wanted to return the note to George’s family, Michele decided that the note should stay with the person who discovered it.
So, Jennifer will keep the note and share it with others who go on scuba tours with her, which makes Michele feel good because it’s a way for her dad to live on and touch the lives of others seeking adventure. (Washington Post)

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost are expecting their first child together.
One source tells Page Six, “Scarlett is actually due soon, I know she and Colin are thrilled.”
Another insider added, “Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile.”
The Black Widow star, who wed the Saturday Night Live star in October, sparked pregnancy rumors in June after missing several promotional events for the Marvel movie. Instead, she’s been appearing via Zoom, so she can hide her baby bump.
This will be ScarJo’s second child. She has a 6-year-old daughter with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.

A man who believes Sofia Vergara is his mother vandalized the star’s  L.A.-area property.
According to TMZ, the man “used orange paint to write AND etch his social media handles all over and into the walls of the place, which has been undergoing major renovations, including a new paint job that had just been completed.”
The police were called early Monday morning to the site, which is owned by Sofia and husband Joe Manganiello, and the culprit was still there.
The suspect confessed to the vandalism, which included messages for Sofia, who the man believes is his mom.
The damages are estimated to be worth more than $100,000. The couple was not home at the time.

Pete Davidson will be tattoo free by the time he’s 30.
The 27-year-old SNL star tells People magazine that he’s removing all his ink over the next three years. “I get my next treatment [in] like a month or so. They said by the time I’m 30, they should all be gone. So they got, like, two more years left of this.”
The comedian, who co-stars in The Suicide Squad, decided to remove his tats because of all the trouble of covering it up when he makes movies.
Pete, who reportedly has more than 100 tattoos, once told Seth Meyers that the removal process is brutal. “Burning them off is worse than getting them, because not only are they burning off your skin, but you’re wearing these big goggles, right? So you can’t see anything, and the doctor’s in there with you.”

The device that can do just about anything seems to have a dark side — it’s encouraging the world’s bullies. Parents say their daughters are constantly teased about their name, “Alexa,” with schoolyard bullies taunting them and demanding they play music. One mom, Lauren Johnson, even started an awareness campaign called “Alexa is a human.” Amazon issued a statement saying, “We’re saddened by the experiences you’ve shared, and want to be very clear: bullying of any kind is unacceptable, and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms.” But the company said they won’t be changing Alexa’s name — noting that any user can make their device answer to another name if they wish.

Finally! It’s an age-old BBQ dilemma … hot dogs typically come in a pack of 10 – but hot dog buns come in a pack of 8, often causing an over-buying of buns. Well, Heinz has had enough. The condiment company has introduced their Heinz Hot Dog Pact – which is  a petition “calling on big bun and big wiener companies to finally sell buns and wieners in even packs.” “We’ve seen our fans through social media express their outrage about the bun-to-hot-dog ratio issue for years, and we know there must be a better way. We believe that the time for change is now and we are hopeful,” said Daniel Gotlib, associate director of brand building and innovation for the Kraft Heinz Company. Now the question becomes — Do hot dog makers drop their package to eight – or do bun makers increase their packages to 10? Time will tell. (Food & Wine)

Britney Spears must have mixed reactions to her court-appointed attorney stepping down. Samuel D. Ingham III filed paperwork on Tuesday to resign after 13-years with the conservatorship.
Two weeks ago, Britney told Judge Brenda Penny that she wanted a new lawyer. She complained that Ingham had not served her well. Britney claimed that she never knew she had the ability to petition an end to the conservatorship.
Ingham’s departure is not entirely welcomed. He left before filing termination paperwork. Britney begged for her freedom and Ingham dragged his feet. Now, she must wait for a new lawyer to join the case. Her freedom is further delayed.
There are suspicions that Samuel D. Ingham ensured that Jamie Spears got his way in court rather than independently represent Britney. She declared in court two weeks ago, (quote) “My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship and my management, who played a huge role in punishing me, should be in jail.” (Variety)

Larry Rudolph, who’d served as Britney Spears‘s manager since she was a total unknown, has reportedly quit — because he thinks she’s set to retire permanently.
According to the BBC, Rudolph sent a letter to Britney’s conservators, saying, “It has been over two-and-a-half years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire.”
Britney briefly left Rudolph’s Reign Deer Entertainment in 2004 but returned a short time later after pressure from her dad, Jamie.

Though the request is unusual, it’s not unprecedented — both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did the same during the dissolution of their marriage. (Entertainment Tonight)

Over the past four years, Jeff has made it a point to try get to know all of his students — especially this graduating class.
Because he took a special interest in these students, he was able to write a personal, handwritten letter to each and every one of them — and present them with this letter before they walked across the stage to receive their diplomas.
It took him a while to finish the project, as he wrote letters from March right on through graduation day.
But, he pulled it off and was pleased with the results, explaining that he, “wanted to shine some light on the students and encourage them as they begin their next journey in life.” (WESH-TV)

Richard Donner, best known for directing Superman: The Movie, The Goonies and the Lethal Weapon films, died on Monday. He was 91.
A cause was not immediately revealed.
Donner got his start directing for such TV series as Perry Mason, The Fugitive, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Twilight Zone, including the iconic episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” starring William Shatner.
Donner also directed the movies LadyhawkeThe Toy and The Omen.
Director Steven Spielberg, who wrote the story for The Goonies, said, “He was all kid. All heart. All the time. I can’t believe he’s gone, but his husky, hearty laugh will stay with me always.”

Bill Cosby has defended Phylicia Rashad after his Cosby Show co-star was criticized for celebrating his release from prison.
After Cosby’s rape conviction was overturned, Rashad tweeted: “Finally. A terrible wrong is being righted – a miscarriage of justice is corrected.”
That caused a backlash and many people calling for her to be removed from her position at Howard University. Rashad then walked back her tweet, saying she “fully supported sexual abuse survivors coming forward.” She also reportedly sent a letter to students and parents, offering a “most sincere apology.”
Howard then issued a statement, saying ,”Survivors of sexual assault will always be our first priority. While Dean Rashad has acknowledged in her follow-up tweet that victims must be heard and believed, her initial tweet lacked sensitivity towards survivors of sexual assault. Personal positions of university leadership do not reflect Howard University’s policies.”
Now Cosby has defended his former TV wife in his own statement. He writes, “Howard University you must support one’s Freedom of Speech (Ms Rashad), which is taught or suppose to be taught everyday at that renowned law school, which resides on your campus.”
Cosby also denied that his conviction was overturned on a “technicality.”

Congratulations go out to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, July 3rd.

Adventurous … but clueless? A new survey found that Millennials consider themselves to be the most adventurous cooks compared to other generations. That said, Millennials were also found to cook the fewest meals at home – and know the least about cooking and kitchen safety. And as a “geriatric Millennial” myself, I will confirm all of this.

Stressed out lately? You might want to watch the top of your head. It turns out that stress really does make you go gray … but there’s good news: Reducing stress can reverse the process. Researchers at Columbia University found that eliminating stress can return gray hair, long thought to be permanent, to its “younger, pigmented state.” So try not to get stressed about eliminating the stress in your life…best of luck!

The U.K. celebrates “Thank You Day” on July 4th . . . just as America is celebrating its Independence Day. Which seems a bit…passive aggressive. Anyway…so British researchers conducted a study on how and when we show our appreciation . . . and there are some interesting findings. For starters, the average adult will say “thank you” 207 times a month, which is roughly 6.8 times per day.  That’s a lot of gratitude . . . but some of it is FAKE. On average, 54 of those thank yous are insincere.  That’s 26%. About a quarter of people surveyed think that’s a problem . . . because genuine appreciation is “dying out.”  33% said they’d still prefer to hear the words, even if the person is just saying “thank you” for the sake of it. And 55% of people claim they have become “more grateful” during the pandemic.  (But 26% probably didn’t mean it.)

And now for some useless but interesting information today…If you’ve ever wondered why Ritz crackers have those ridges around them — wonder no more. A video posted on Ritz’s official TikTok revealed that the reason the crackers have those scalloped edges is to … slice through cheese.
