Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Jul 18, 2018

Tomorrow (Thursday)'s the day CEDRIC the ENTERTAINER will be getting a Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame, at 11:30 am (Pacific) in front of the new Hollywood el Centro Complex. MAGIC JOHNSON and GEORGE LOPEZ --who have already gotten their own stars-- will be speaking at the dedication and congratulating him on his 30 years in show biz.

Interestingly, the CW network is working on a show about Batgirl --who will be TV's first gay lead superhero-- and insiders say the network is looking to cast a lesbian actress who's already "out" to play the role of Batgirl, who'll be between 25-29 years old.

Science question: how many moons does Jupiter have? Back in the day, that Galileo guy and Simon Marius discovered the first four --Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Later, in 1892, a guy named E.E. Barnard discovered a fifth... but another 64 have been discovered since 1975 --all of which are less than 6 miles in diameter-- and another 10 were announced just yesterday. That gives Jupiter 79 known moons so far --and Saturn has another 62 along with those rings.
