Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Dec 6, 2018

Congrats to KEVIN HART, who'll be the host of the upcoming Oscars. He replaces JIMMY KIMMEL, who hosted the past two years and presided over the infamous #Envelopegate, when the best picture film was wrongly handed to "La La Land" instead of "Moonlight," in 2017. "I will be sure to make this years Oscars a special one," he said.

There's more RuPAUL coming --the BBC announced Wednesday they'll be doing a new version of "Drag Race" next year, crowning a brand-new "Queen of Great Britain." Get the tiaras out...

Now that BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN is wrapping up his Broadway show on Dec 15, what's next? Turns out he won't be touring with the E Street Band, posting a note on Twitter which said "While we hope to be back with you soon, the E Street Band won't be touring in 2019. Before I go back to my day job, the year will be consumed with a break after our Broadway run and various recording projects I've been working on."
In case you still need more Bruce, you can catch the film version of his Broadway show on Netflix, beginning Dec 16.

Problems for Apple up ahead. Forbes magazine reports that the inclusion of 5G to its cell phones will be a big problem --not the technology, but the extra licensing cost for 5G will likely be passed on to the buyers, and the iPhones are already under fire for the excessive costs of their X models.

Plus, as Apple only introduces the new phones once a year, in the fall, the phones with 5G technology likely won't be available until the fall of 2020.
