Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Feb 28, 2018

Idle gossip & unconfirmed rumors:

TYLER PERRY may one of Tinseltown's biggest players, but just ain't the Hollywood type. TMZ reports the mind behind "Madea" is building a whopping 35,000 square-foot mansion in Georgia on 1,200 acres. Word is he'd like to start an organic farm on the property and wants his son to "appreciate and enjoy the land and the animals."(Lee)

Brain dead:

Locals in one part of Florida say their postal carrier is refusing to make deliveries --because they live in a nudist camp.
Residents of the Eden RV Resort and City Retreat nudist camp say the problem is with a substitute mail carrier. Apparently, the regular carrier has never had a problem walking through the camp, surrounded by nudity. But, the substitute allegedly marks packages undeliverable rather than entering the grounds. Residents say a post office manager explained that the carrier isn't required to enter if she's offended by nudity. But, resident EILEEN HUDAK says, "It offends me that she does not do her job." An official with the United States Post Office confirms the mail carrier has not broken any rules. (Still)

Your Body:

New research suggests those standing desks that are supposed to be better for your health aren't so great after all. The standing desks were supposed to help cubicle-dwellers ease back pain, boost their alertness and help them lose weight. But the New York Daily Newssays a new small found that standing at a desk for a prolonged period of time can lead to "significant" discomfort and mental sluggishness. The Australian researchers said "Over time, discomfort increased in all body areas" for their lab study, where volunteers did two hours of work at a computer in a standing position. (Bartha)

Bottom feeding:

Warning: note sexual content.
The latest celebrity to have some nude photos hacked is rapper SAFAREE SAMUELS, who is making quite a splash online. Sources tell HollywoodLife.com that the well-endowed hip-hopper has received marriage proposals, job offers and has "never considered doing porn until now." Apparently Mr. Samuels considers himself a true businessman and open to "any opportunities that come his way" while his ex-girlfriend NICKI MINAJ suspects he may be responsible for the leak.(Lee)
