Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Apr 11, 2017

Easter:

An adults-only chocolate bunny was unveiled in England just in time for Easter.
British model PENNY DELBAUGH dressed up in a revealing bustier made entirely of chocolate this week to promote Playboymagazine. The costume was made from 11-pounds of dark chocolate with white chocolate mixed in for the "lace" accents. Delbaugh had to walk extremely carefully to keep the bustier from splitting open. The adult magazine kicks off its adults-only Easter egg hunt April 13th in London. (Still)

Trendspotting:

In an effort to create more sustainable products, Reebok is going to start making sneakers out of corn. The New York Postsays the sole of the sneaker will be made with petroleum-free, non-toxic industrial-grown corn, while the body of the shoe will be made with 100 percent organic cotton. The line is part of the company's Corn + Cotton initiative. Both the cotton and corn in Reebok's new kicks are compostable, so once you've worn out your pair they'll be recycled to create an entirely different pair.
But this isn't the corn you'd have at a 4th of July cook-out. This type of corn, known as field corn, feeds livestock and is used to make other durable materials that can be found in packing and plastics. Currently, most shoes are made with oil-based plastics that are harmful to the environmental and can sit in landfills for centuries. And, according to a 2013 study out of MIT, the process to make one pair of running sneakers emits around 30 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The entire sneaker industry is making a push to rid their products of petroleum-based materials. Both Nike and Adidas have similar initiatives to create sustainable and recyclable sneakers. (Bartha)

Broadcast, cable and video news:

If "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" hasn't been keeping you busy enough, soon there'll be a new E! TV spinoff series.This time, the honors go to the baby of the family, KYLIE JENNER, who will be launching an eight-part docu-series called "Living With Kylie." Unfortunately, a bit of sibling rivalry may be in play --sources tell Peoplemagazine that there's "some jealousy" over all the attention the 19-year-old is receiving.
The show will reportedly dog Kylie's footsteps as she navigates her life as an entrepreneur, fashion designer, author, television and social media star, as well as the CEO of Kylie Cosmetics. KRIS JENNER is also an executive producer for the show along with Kylie.
Kylie promises fans will get a "peek inside all of the exciting things I'm working on" and the new show will debut this summer. (Lee)

Lowering expectations:

If you have a fear of water and a fear of heights then this is the stuff of nightmares.
Houston's Market Square Tower apartment building has posted video of their glass-bottom swimming pool and it's terrifying. The pool is 40-stories above ground and features a plexiglass bottom allowing swimmers to feel like they're floating above the city. The pool was built 500-feet above city streets. Rooms at the complex rent for just over $18-hundred dollars a month for a studio and nearly $19-thousand dollars a month for a penthouse suite. (Still)
