Tomorrow’s Show Prep Today!

BS SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
★ Kylie Jenner is making mommy moves and pulling back on how much of her daughter she shares with fans on social media. Jenner posted a photo Sunday on Instagram that appeared to crop out her child. After someone commented that she had cut her baby out of the picture, Jenner responded, explaining that she’s not “sharing photos of my girl right now.”
(***CAUTION***And there you have it. The first time a Kardashian-Jenner has been reluctant to show off her ‘girls’!)

★”America’s Got Talent” winner Neal E. Boyd died Sunday. He was 42. The Season 3 winner died of an array of weight-related afflictions, including heart and kidney failure and liver disease. The opera singer won “AGT” in 2008 and went on to record his debut album called “My American Dream” in 2009 and “My Christmas Wish” in 2013. He also ran as Republican for the Missouri House of Representatives in 2011.
-MSN
★ Paris Hilton has designed a collection for boohoo.com. The socialite has created a 70-piece collection for the online retailer featuring metallics, animal prints and slogan pieces emblazoned with her famous mottos such as ‘That’s Hot’.
(And her other famous motto is…..?)
-ContactMusic
★ Love is in bloom between Zeke Smith and Nico Santos.  The former “Survivor” castaway and the “Superstore” actor are confirmed to be dating. Smith is best known for appearing on the 2017-2018 season of “Survivor”, when he was notoriously outed as transgender during a heated Tribal Council by contestant Jeff Varner.
-MSN
★ Wendy’s is known for their fresh beef, so they did not disappoint when asked for a comment on IHOP moving in on their territory. IHOP revealed Monday morning that the “b” in their temporary name change to IHOB will be used to push a new line of burgers, and remind customers that you can get more than breakfast there. Someone lobbed a softball over to Wendy’s notoriously sassy Twitter account to get their take on the new direction, and got an epic response: “Not really afraid of the burgers from a place that decided pancakes were too hard.”

BS MUSIC NOTES:
• Ariana Grande – Just three weeks after their relationship was first reported, Grande and Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson are engaged — and it’s setting Twitter afire. Typical fan’s Twitter reaction: “This is more important than the royal wedding” (***see “The Funniest Reactions to Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s Engagement”, below***)
• BTS – has become the first K-pop act to have multiple hits on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio airplay chart, as ‘Fake Love’ debuted at No. 38. That follows ‘MIC Drop’, featuring Desiigner, which was the first song by a K-pop group to reach the chart, peaking at #25.
• Ed Sheeran – has put plans to build a private chapel on his estate on hold so a search for great crested newts can be held. Apparently, ponds on his property “could be breeding sites for this species.” Under law, it is an offence to intentionally kill or injure a great crested newt, or disturb or obstruct access to their habitat.
• Avicii – has been laid to rest in a private ceremony in his home city of Stockholm. The Swedish DJ was found dead in Oman on April 20.
• Nickelback – After putting his Maui home on the market a couple of weeks ago, bassist Mike Kroeger has purchased a nearly $3.8 million home in the Hollywood Hills. The property features a two-story, four-bedroom and three-and-a-half-bath main house, along with detached pool and guest houses. Original resident: “Dracula” star Bela Lugosi.
• Whitesnake – former guitarist Adrian Vandenberg wants to do a blues album with singer David Coverdale. He says the two have discussed some “pretty specific ideas” for a reunion.
• Luke Combs – has been forced to cancel his concert schedule for 10 days after losing his voice. Following a performance at CMA Fest 2018 on Friday, he shared the unfortunate news via Twitter. He wrote that doctors prescribed a plan of “vocal rest and treatments for the next 10 days so I can be back with y’all as quickly as possible.”
• Jason Isbell – will be releasing two albums over the next few months. One will be a live document of his historic six sold-out shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium last fall. “Live From the Ryman” is set for release on Oct. 19. The other is an expanded reissue of his first solo album, 2007’s “Sirens of the Ditch”, with four previously unreleased songs. That comes out July 13.

HITTING THE BOOKS (LIGHTLY):
With year-end exams upon us, here’s a little nugget that you may (or may not) want to share with your textbook-cramming high school student: A new study suggests that staying up late to try to memorize information for an upcoming test has the opposite effect, giving the brain no “downtime” to let the knowledge sink in. Researchers from the Loyola Marymount University in California also found the sleep deprivation that also results from late-night cram sessions also corresponds to lower exam scores. The research suggests that new memories only stick in the brain if they are “consolidated,” which is a process that largely happens during sleep. Scientists also examined the power of napping to boost memory after studying and found that newly learned facts stuck in people’s brains better after a nap.
(THIS little bit of information is going to come in very handy the next time my boss catches me face-down and drooling over my keyboard…)
(So now what am I supposed to do? Bust in on my kid’s room at 11:00 the night before the exam and yell at him to “STOP STUDYING”??)
(Researchers noted that downtime for the brain can also be achieved by watching “Fuller House.”)
-TheSun

HITTING THE GYM (HEAVILY):
When it comes right down to it, everyone just wants to be happy. A poll done on behalf of the fitness app Freeletics, claims to have found the key to happiness, and get ready, because you might not be happy with it. Regular exercise may be the key to success and happiness in life. A survey of 2,000 Americans examined the correlation between physical activity levels and lifestyle impacts and found that those who make exercise a regular habit are not only happier, but and make more money than those who do not. How much more money? Quite a bit, actually. Those who say they exercise regularly make $74,000 on average, and those who say they never exercise make only about $49,000. The study found that exercise can have just as big an effect on your well-being as it can on your bank account. Researchers noted a positive association between working out regularly and mental health, optimism, perceived happiness, and…frequency of sex.
(Same things!)
($25,000 difference? THAT’LL pay for a gym membership!)
(What if I’m happiest when I’m not working out?)
-NYPosT

GREEN COFFEE:
Some North American coffee chains include a warning that the contents are hot and could cause injury if spilled. Now, an Australian government Communications Officer is leading efforts to have disposable coffee cups there imprinted with a warning. Not a “Contents are hot” warning…not a health warning, but a warning that the cup is not recyclable. Anna Warren has set up a Change.org petition which has reached 23,000 signatures in support of the warnings. Her idea would be to have warnings on all coffee cups with pictures of them being dug into landfill. In large letters on each cup it would say something to the effect of: “Single origin — destiny landfill.” Ultimately, she would like to see all Australians make the move to using refillable plastic cups.
(The only warning I want to see on a cup of coffee is not to talk to me until it’s half-done!)
(Or, you know, make the cups recyclable!)
