Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Feb 9, 2017

Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places:

Warning! Note sexual content!
This definitely puts the FUN in FUNdraiser! The Hometown Volunteer Fire Company in Schuykill County, Pennsylvaniais really turning up the heat to raise money. It's hosting it's second "Naughty Bingo" night, where winners get sex toys instead of cash. A spokesman says people get bored of the same old fundraisers so this event is designed to raise money from a "more diverse crowd." Last year's benefit sold out and was standing room only and saw people coming from as far as New Jersey to play. This year, the company is selling 160 tickets at $20 bucks apiece and they are hoping for a large, "diverse" crowd. (Myers/Still)

Grace notes from Vinny Marino:

BOB DYLAN has two concerts in Stockholm, Sweden, booked for April 1st and 2nd. Maybe that's when he'll give his lecture at the Swedish Academy so he can pick up the $1-million dollar check that goes along with his Nobel Prize for Literature. Dylan has to do some kind of presentation to get that money. Bob's Never-Ending tour goes all through Europe in April, including three shows at the London Palladium. So far, Dylan only has one date booked in the U.S., at the Firefly Festival in Dover, Delaware, on June 17th. (Marino)

Models:

Supermodel KARLIE KLOSS is also a super-nerd --and we mean that in the best possible way. When she's not striking poses, Karlie is also handing out scholarships for girls who want to learn computer coding and actively promoting girls getting into science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Now, she's taking her geek-girl cred to Netflix with everyone's favorite science guy --in the upcoming "BILL NYE Saves the World." Fashionista.com says you can see Karlie in the trailer for the new series taking off in a jet, interviewing people in a park and giving Bill Nye a fist bump. (Bartha)

Music highlight:

It was on this day in 1964that The Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan's show.Nielsen ratings afterward showed that an estimated 73.7 million people tuned in to watch the Fab Four do five songs: "All My Loving," "Till There Was You," "She Loves You," "I Saw Her Standing There" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand." The Beatles, by the way, picked up a mere $2400 for the gig --Ed was notoriously cheap.
