Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - May 29, 2018

Looking at Logos:

Today is the day Starbucks will be closing eight-thousand of its stores for anti-bias training in the wake of having two black men arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks last month.
The anti-bias training is reportedly designed to get people to open up about implicit biases and stereotypes in encountering people of color, gender or other identities. The Starbucks session will include recorded remarks from Starbucks executives as well as rapper and activist COMMON.

Trolling for publicity:

"Austin Powers" fans may be seeing another installment of the quirky film series. MIKE MEYERS tells Peoplethat his six-year-old son, SPIKE, is lobbying for a fourth flick and has suggested that Dr. Evil's lair be moved to a sewer while half-asleep. Mike is still shocked by his enormous success --he grew up in "government assisted housing" in Toronto, Canada, claims the Hollywood life is "bizarre and fun" and is in the "happiest time of my life."

Designer Update:

It's no secret that Victoria's Secret's sales have been suffering lately. While the fashion trends have veered toward no-frills undergarments that emphasize stylish comfort, the lingerie retailer seems stuck in the past with its emphasis on frilly, padded push-up bras. In an effort to lure customers back, Fashionista.com says the company plans to expand its loungewear, sleepwear and sportswear collections. (Bartha)

Grace notes from Vinny Marino:

SNOOP DOGG broke a Guinness World Record on Saturday. The Mercury News says the rapper mixed up the (quote), "largest paradise cocktail" of all time in Napa Valley, California. Of course, it was Gin and Juice in a monster-sized glass, complete with straw and umbrella. (Marino)
