Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Nov 19, 2018

DOGG time! Today's the day that SNOOP DOGG will be getting a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard in front of JIMMY KIMMEL Live. Dr. DRE, QUINCY JONES and Jimmy will be on hand at 11:30 am to help unveil the star.

You may have seen that story about a stolen painting by PICASSO which was found in a Romanian forest. The story, which was picked up by several networks, has turned out to be a fake --done by two Belgian directors who say the letter which enabled the painting to be dug up was part of a project called True Copy --and part of a tribute to a Dutch forger who spent his life making fake paintings and selling them off as originals.

Yesterday would have been Mickey Mouse's 90th birthday, since Disney released "Steamboat Willie," the first animated talking picture on that date in 1928. And yesterday Disney announced that starting in January, Disneyland guests will be bringing an all-new nighttime show to the theme park. The show, called "Get Your Ears On," will have "new" entertainment, as well limited-time merchandise, food, beverages, and some night have fireworks as well.

With the holiday travel season upon us, it only makes sense to ask: "Have you ever been forced to sit next to an overly obese person on an airplane flight?" Case in point: a British Airways passenger is now suing the airline, claiming he suffered an injury and loss of earnings from having to sit next to an obese passenger on a 12-hour flight. CNN reports STEPHEN PROSSER, who's a 51-year-old freelance civil engineer, said the passenger next to him weighed more than 300 pounds, and because he was forced into an unnatural position for the duration of the flight, he suffered nerve damage and a pelvic injury, leaving him with a continual back spasm, forcing him to visit a chiropractor for two years and to limit his work for three months.
"He was that large that he had to force his buttocks between the armrests of the seats" Prosser says.
