Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Jul 20, 2017

Royalty Report:

Don't hold your breath waiting for a "Save the Date" announcement from PRINCE HARRY and MEGHAN MARKLE. Rumors are swirling that the popular royal may just run off and marry his "Suits" starlet in secret. Insiders tell Us Weeklythat he'd prefer something less "showy" than his big brother PRINCE WILLIAM's affair with DUCHESS KATE and could elope to a private location.
Word is Harry will pop the question in August for a very good reason --it's the month his mother, PRINCESS DIANA, passed away and he'd like to replace the memory with something much happier. (Lee)

The Reel Deal:

A movie about a controversial talk show host? Who could have thought THAT up?
The Hollywood Reportersays the new film, called "Hot Air," will be about a radio talker who finds his world turned upside down when his 16-year-old niece comes crashing into his life. STEVE COOGAN, NEVE CAMPBELL and TAYLOR RUSSELL will star in the film.

Animal Stories:

A man in Ethiopia has been dubbed the HYENA WHISPERER.
Most people are afraid of the aggressive hyenas that roam the streets of Harar at night. But, "Hyena Man" ABBAS YUSUF has been feeding them every night for 45-years. In fact, he feeds them by placing the food in his own mouth first and allowing them to grab it with their teeth. Yusuf's talent has boosted tourism in the village, drawing curious crowds from miles away who want to get close and personal with the animals. Yusuf says his father taught him to speak to the hyenas and he's passing that skill onto his own son. He adds, "I have a baby hyena in my house and keep it in my bedroom." (Still)

Grace notes from Vinny Marino:

After all the controversy, and pleas from ROGER WATERS to not play Israel, RADIOHEAD finally gave its concert there last night. Billboard.com says the show at Yarkon Park was the band's longest set in 11 years, and its second-longest concert, ever. The show was also the tour closer. Singer THOM YORKEtold the sold-out crowd(quote), "A lot of stuff has been said about this, but in the end, we play some music." Radiohead had not performed in Israel since 2000. (Marino)
