Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Dec 5, 2019

DEF LEPPARD has announced a stadium tour coming next year along with MöTLEY CRüE, POISON and special guest JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS. One problem: there's only 22 dates on the tour, which runs from July thru September. Tickets go on sale on Friday, Dec. 13 at 10 a.m. at Live Nation's website and there's also a pre-sale for Citi cardmembers.

Congrats to EMMA STONE, who just got engaged to her boyfriend, DAVE McCARY. They've been dating for a couple of years and just announced the engagement with a picture of them on Instagram with Emma wearing his ring. McCary is currently a segment director for "Saturday Night Live" --they reportedly met on the show when Emma hosted back in 2016.

BILLY DEE WILLIAMS now says he isn't gender fluid, even though in his Esquire magazine interview, he used both "himself" and "herself" to refer to him. However, in an interview with the NY Times, earlier this week, Billy Dee said that he was not aware of how his words would be interpreted.
He said, "(Gender fluidity) was not what I was talking about. I was talking about, I think that men should get in touch with their female self. Men should not be afraid or ashamed of expressing the soft side of themselves."

Any graduate of high school chemistry probably ought to know that when you put a stream of oxygen onto a flame, a fire results. And sometimes the results can be a little more disastrous.
BELINDA COBLE, a 61-year-old North Carolina woman, was being treated for medical issues with an oxygen tank. But she lit up a cigarette anyway, and the cigarette caused her oxygen tank to explode. Her husband, who was asleep in another room of the house, was awakened by the explosion and put the resulting fire out and called 911, but Belinda did not survive.
This happens a lot more frequently than you might imagine --nearly 200 times a year, according to experts.
Bottom line --don't smoke in a house where oxygen equipment is being used.
