Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Nov 14, 2018

Daily Variety reported yesterday that BRADLEY COOPER and LADY GAGA have agreed to perform "Shallow," their duet from "A Star is Born," should it be nominated for Best Original Song at the upcoming Academy Awards. That's not really a surprise, since traditionally, all five songs nominated for Best Original Song are performed live on the Academy Awards broadcast. But it would be the first time Bradley has sung that song --or any song, for that matter-- live.

Look for MARK WAHLBERG to be back as the host for USA Network's reboot of "Temptation Island." The network said yesterday the 10-episode series will premiere on Tue, Jan 15 of next year.
On the original show in 2001, four couples got separated and sent to live with a group of attractive singles in a tropical paradise --then when they returned after sampling some one-on-one time with other potential mates-- come back and decide whether they'll tie the knot or split for good.

Whoops! Before you go all out for PRESIDENT TRUMP, you should know that not everybody allows advertising for the Prez and his policies.
Case in point, Walt Disney World, which has now banned DON CINI from all the Disney properties after he violated park rules by displaying a Trump banner in the Magic Kingdom (picture HERE from his Facebook page riding on Splash Mountain). Disney says their rules prohibit the use of any signs, flags or banners. Cini also trotted out a "Keep America Great" sign on Expedition Everest as well.
Finally, the folks at World Against Toys Causing Harm (which cleverly breaks down to the word "WATCH") have issued their list of toys you should be careful about buying for your children. The top ten:
10. Nickelodeon Nella Princess Knight Pillow Pets Sleeptime Lights, $20. (Small items could be removed and eaten).
