Well, this will get you running to a mirror. new study claims that people with large eye pupils are more intelligent than those with small pupils. Pupil size was monitored by an eye-tracking device while participants ran through different tests and activities. The people with larger pupils performed better in attention, memory, and reasoning tests, which the researchers think comes from better regulation of brain activity linked to intelligence and memory.

new survey found that 69% of respondents said they can’t sleep if they know there’s a bug in their home, and 60% have even gone so far as to say that they want to burn their home down if they came across a bug. And which bugs, in particular, do people hate? 39% said they can’t stand cockroaches, followed by spiders (37%), ants (29%), mosquitos (28%), termites (28%) and ticks (25%).

Madonna is still a daddy’s girl at heart — as she proved in a new video of her and her family celebrating his 90th birthday.
Madge and the kids flew to Michigan to mark Silvio Ciccone‘s big day at the winery he runs on the shores of Lake Michigan. She captured some moments from the trip on a video, which she captioned, “He taught me the importance of hard work and earning one’s way in life. Again I thank you.”

Sure, millions of fans love Katy Perry, but she says that love is nothing compared to what she shares with daughter Daisy.
The new mom talked motherhood with France’s L’Officiel magazine, saying that the feeling is nothing like anything she’d experienced before. Katy says “I’d heard about unconditional love, but now I’m really experiencing it. There’s a wholeness that has happened.”
She contrasted that feeling with what she gets in the spotlight, saying “As a performer, I’ve always relied on the love and acceptance and validation of the outside world and that ultimately can waver at times, When you have a child, you have someone who looks at you and doesn’t know anything on your resume, doesn’t know anything about your bank account, doesn’t know anything, doesn’t care and just loves you.”

If you thought that having a new Debbie Gibson album was something that could happen only in your dreams, think again.

The two former teen idols will do a mini-residency at the Sands Showroom in The Venetian Las Vegas in August and September. The newly announced September dates — September 16-19 —  go on sale June 9.
Debbie also pops up in the new season of Lucifer, which is streaming on Netflix now.  She’s in the musical episode, “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam,” playing the overbearing mother of a high school athlete who sings “Every Breath You Take” with star Tom Ellis.
According to Billboard, Debbie’s also finishing a Christmas album and will appear in a new movie titled Class, alongside Anthony Michael Hall.

In Wasilla, Alaska, a postal worker saved the day by paying for extra postage to make sure a couple’s wedding invitations were sent out on time.
The bride-to-be, Crystle Lewis, thought she had put enough postage on the 50 invitations that were being sent out. But because of the fancy wax seal on the envelopes, more postage was needed.
The post office informed Crystle and her fiancé that the envelopes couldn’t go out — and those envelopes remained in Crystle’s post office box.
Postal worker Edward Mayton noticed, day after day, that the invitations weren’t being delivered and figured that somehow, some way, the couple didn’t get the message.
So, in order to avoid a disaster and save the couple’s big day, Edward purchased extra postage out of his own pocket and got things rolling again.
Crystle and her fiancé learned about Edward’s kindness later on and were thrilled that Edward helped them out. They found Edward and tried to pay him back for the additional postage, but he refused to accept any money, explaining that it’s important to simply take care of each other. (Fox News)

The bartender who accused Cuba Gooding Junior of groping her has won a default judgment against the actor after he failed to respond to her lawsuit for over a year, according to Page Six.
Natasha Ashworth sued Gooding in October 2019, claiming that he pinched her butt while she was serving him at a nightclub the year before.
Gooding allegedly ignored her legal complaint for more than a year, so she asked for a default judgment against Gooding on the claims of assault and battery — and on Wednesday the judge granted it.
A trial to determine the damages she should be awarded will be set at a later date.
In recent months, at least 30 women have accused the Oscar-winner of sexual misconduct. He denies the allegations.

Sophie Turner seems to have come out of the closet.
The Game of Thrones star hinted at her sexual orientation in a social media post celebrating Pride Month. She said, “Time isn’t straight and neither am I.”
Fans believe this means she’s bi-sexual, since she’s married to Jonas Brothers member Joe Jonas.
The new mom also included a bunch of other stickers on her Instagram Story with text saying, “BI PRIDE,” “GAY PRIDE” and “MOVE, I’M GAY.”

Production on Mission: Impossible 7 has been halted until June 14th after a positive coronavirus test on set, Variety reports. Tom Cruise can’t be happy. He made headlines in December when audio was leaked of the star freaking out after seeing two crew members standing too close to each another.

Stubble is sexy … as long as it’s the right kind of stubble. A study from New Zealand wanted to know what facial hair on men women found most attractive. The answer: Women found men with heavy stubble on their faces the most attractive. But not all stubble is equal – the women in the study found men with light stubble to be the least attractive. Men who were clean shaven and had full beards were found to be the second most attractive, according to the study. And this is interesting … men with beards were perceived to be better parents.

We’ve talked about “revenge bedtime procrastination” before … but as a refresher, it’s the phenomenon of staying up late looking at TikTok videos, scrolling through Twitter, playing Words With Friends, etc. – even though you’re tired – because you want to recapture some “me time” after a long day. Well, it seems the problem is getting worse – especially as many people working from home have been working more (and longer) hours. It seems the phenomenon has become so prevalent, experts have actually identified three components that must be present to qualify your behavior as “revenge bedtime procrastination”: 1) Staying up late has to reduce your total sleep time; 2) You can’t be up late for an external reason (like taking care of a baby or because you’re not feeling well); and 3) You have to understand that staying up late will lead to negative consequences.

They’re loving. They’re adorable. And it turns out that puppies can understand you from a very young age. A new study says that by eight weeks old, they’re willing and able to lock eyes with people they don’t know and take visual cues, like if you point to their food bowl. And they can do it without any training — which suggests that they are born with innate social skills. Maybe this explains why they’re just so stinkin’ irresistible … even when they pee on the rug.

Ed Sheeran knows you gotta have Friends — which explains why he brought in Courteney Cox to help him tease new music.
Ed, who’s been hinting about a return for the past couple of months, posted a short Instagram video captioned “25th June” and showing him playing guitar with Cox on piano. The combo isn’t a total shock, since Ed has written songs with her fiance, Snow Patrol‘s Johnny McDaid.
Sheeran revealed he will perform at the soccer championship tournament — Euro 2020. Match play begins in one week. He appears in concert on June 25th, which is the night before the elimination rounds. In solidarity with Pride Month, Ed wore a rainbow sweater for the announcement. He will debut new music.

Kieran Moise of Huntsville, Alabama, is getting to start a new chapter in his life at the Air Force Academy. Part of the deal of being in the Air Force involves having short hair.
This affects Kieran more than most boys because he doesn’t like haircuts and hasn’t actually had one in six years.
Kieran wanted to make the most of this historic haircut, so he pledged to donate his hair for use in wigs for kids battling cancer.
The event also included some fundraising. Thanks to an online campaign, Kieran raised over $19,000 for St. Jude’s Hospital to celebrate his 19-inch-long afro.
Big things are in store for Kieran as he recently graduated from high school and is heading to the Air Force Academy this fall. And, he made the most of this transition by helping others before taking his next steps. (KSBN-TV)

Whenever you can include both Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra in a story, there’s bound to be buzz.
Nearly 60 years after the death of the ill-fated Hollywood icon, People magazine reports that Frank Sinatra’s onetime manager claims Ol’ Blue Eyes was convinced Marilyn was murdered.
In his memoir Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small HoursTony Oppedisano quotes Ol’ Blue Eyes late in his life speaking about friends who’d died before him — such as Monroe. “Frank believed she was murdered, and he never got over it.”
According to Oppedisano, Sinatra and Monroe were friends but never lovers. “Frank felt she was too troubled, too fragile, for him to sleep with and then walk away.” Yet, Marilyn apparently confided to Sinatra about affairs with both John and Robert Kennedy, even telling Frank she didn’t understand why the Kennedy brothers cut off contact after she stopped having sex with them.
There’s one other juicy tidbit. The book asserts that Marilyn and ex-husband Joe DiMaggio planned to reconcile — and that a press conference breaking the news was to take place just days after her death on August 5th, 1962. Oppedisano says “Frank believed if the press conference hadn’t been announced, she would have lived a lot longer.”
According to the book, Sinatra claimed several told him that Monroe been murdered with “a Nembutal suppository and Robert Kennedy or the Mob was involved.”

Chris Harrison is out as host of ABC’s Bachelor in ParadisePage Six reports.
In February, Chris took a supposedly temporary break from the Bachelor franchise after the backlash erupted over him defending a contestant who had attended an Old South plantation-themed party.
Chris was already sidelined from a season of the Bachelorette. Now, according to Page Six, he’ll be replaced on Bachelor in Paradise by a revolving cast of guests hosts — including David Spade.
No word if Harrison will return to host Bachelor.
He had hosted the Bachelor, Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise since their debuts.

Well this is … bad … A new survey found that 1 in 2 people in relationships say their current partner is the worst sex they’ve ever had. That’s right – half of the people surveyed said the person they are with is lousy in bed. Sounds like the next step here is for these people to communicate better…
The same survey asked respondents if they’d ever injured themselves during the act. 57% of those who had injured themselves while doing it said it happened while trying to do it in the shower.

Guys, do you think you know what women want? A new study of more than 60,000 women from all over the world found that there is one thing that women overwhelming want in a partner. Here’s a hint – it’s not six-pack abs or a seven-figure salary. 90% of the women surveyed said that kindness is the most attractive trait a significant other can have. (PS I Love You)

The CDC says that if you’re vaccinated, you’re basically OK to go about “normal” life without worrying about masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds, etc. But not everyone is ready yet.
Some folks are still really worried about getting COVID, even though the odds are very, very low for vaccinated people. Experts say that’s natural, especially for people who generally have a low tolerance toward risk. They also note that all the media coverage and fear-based messaging of the past year has left people feeling anxious.
If you’re one of those people, there are ways you can cope:
  • Seek out positive messages, like how infection rates are plummeting.
  • Take things slow. Re-enter “normal” life a little bit at a time.
  • Keep wearing a mask and using hand sanitizer if it helps you feel more comfortable.
  • Find someone you trust to talk about your feelings with. Maybe even a professional.
  • Limit your exposure to media and social media that will trigger feelings of anxiety.
The important thing to remember is that feeling this way doesn’t mean you’re weak or that there’s anything wrong with you. (Medical News Today)

The stadium tour was initially scheduled for the summer of 2020, but rescheduled until this summer due to the pandemic.

So until we can confirm all global dates, we have to postpone the Chromatica Ball shows to the summer of 2022.”

I don’t feel inspired to write or compose anything either. Right now I am a full-time father and I love it. I love being a father.”

He remembers their assistance. Campbell now donates free lawn care to five families with loved ones who served in the military. He explained that he wants to “give back and show the same love” that was given to him all those years ago.

Actress Ellie Kemper has come under fire after photos surfaced showing The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star participating in a debutante event many have deemed racist.

During the annual ball, according to reports, “a daughter of one of the group’s members is crowned queen by a ‘Veiled Prophet,’ a secret member who wears white robes and a white veil covering his face.”
Ellie comes from a rich banking family in Missouri.
The controversy comes from the fact that The Veiled Prophet Organization was founded by a former Confederate officer and was meant for the elite. Black people weren’t accepted into the organization until 1979.

Mariah Carey is pushing back against her brother’s lawsuit ignited by her memoir.
According to the New York Post, she wants Morgan Carey‘s action tossed out, claiming her book is a “matter of public interest.” Her attorneys argue that the combination of her fame and a desire to encourage young people who have difficult family backgrounds should require more evidence to prove defamation.
Morgan Carey’s feathers were clearly ruffled by references that he calls “mere gossip and of prurient interest” — and make him appear violent toward their father. He insists the opposite was true.
He adds that 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.

Taylor Swift is reportedly looking to bounce back from her disastrous Cats experience by joining the cast of yet another all-star blockbuster film.

We got all the way down the path of about to retrieve their eggs. Some just wouldn’t produce enough eggs, some weren’t good genetic matches. If you’re going to be a match, you don’t want to even risk it.”
The twins — one boy, one girl — are due this fall.

While serving with the Army overseas in South Korea, Michael Steponovich worked closely with a German Shepard named Popeye, who was an expert at detecting explosives.
When Michael finished his career with the Army and moved to Las Vegas, he knew he’d miss his partner Popeye.
But, luckily, Popeye was also nearing retirement.
The charity group American Humane worked with Michael’s new employer — MGM Resorts International — to get Popeye back to America and back to Michael.
It all worked out. Michael was recently reunited with Popeye and filed official adoption papers.
It didn’t take long for Popeye to recognize Michael’s voice and the two continued their relationship as if they were never separated.
But now, they are both retired from the military and Michael was able to tell Popeye that he no longer needed to work. Instead, he’ll be able to relax and have fun at “Fort Couch” — as well as explore the great outdoors, including the beautiful state parks and trails in the Las Vegas Valley. (Las Vegas Sun)

Seems like a no-brainer – especially this year – but a survey has found that warm weather makes us want to do more. According to the survey, the average person is 31% more social in the summer than in the winter. And 50% say summer is their busiest time of year.

Sometimes it is incredibly important to pay close attention to the instructions your gym trainer gives you. A woman has gone viral on TikTok, after revealing how she sent pics of herself in her underwear to her trainer. But this wasn’t a case of sexting to the wrong person – or even the right person. Seems her trainer told her to take “before” pics of herself in her bra and underwear so she could see her transformation. But she mistakenly thought she was supposed to send the pics to him. In the video, which she titled “How do I go back?” she shared screenshots of their text chain, including where he lets her know the pics were actually meant for her, not for him. He even shares that he was out to dinner with his girlfriend when he got the text. Oops. (Independent)
