Whoops!!! Imagine going up before a judge only to realize that she was in the middle of a threesome! Happened in Kentucky, where family court judge DAWN GENTRY was suspended temporarily without pay after she was accused of having a threesome in the courthouse.
That was back in November, and although she's on "temporary paid suspension," she'll find out whether she'll be back behind the bench --or perhaps in front of it-- shortly.
Her Honor is accused (among other things) of having her male lover and a third court employee, a woman, in a threesome in chambers.Tired of grabbing a donut or running in for a breakfast sandwich at that convenience store on the way to work? Now the folks at 7-11 are introducing a brand new "personal-size" Breakfast Pizza... and you won't even have to put it in the microwave.
The company says their 5-inch Breakfast Pizza will be in the hot foods case at the front counter and will have a flaky biscuit crust topped with creamy white gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage crumbles, bacon, ham, and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
The folks at 7-11 say it should retail for $2.Tube talk: Look for another live musical for ABC, whose first one was "The Little Mermaid Live" last November. The next one will reportedly by a live --musical version-- of MEL BROOKS' "Young Frankenstein," which ABC says will air in the fall.
If you're one of those people who watch the Super Bowl to see who's advertising --get ready for MICHAEL BLOOMBERG and DONALD TRUMP commercials. Both guys have shelled out a reported $10 million for a 60 second spot to shill their availability for the next four years.
ABC is also reportedly putting together a pilot for a "thirtysomething" sequel, reportedly to be called "thirtysomething(else)." Original co-creators MARSHALL HERSKOVITZ and ED ZWICK, who originally produced the show, will be back for the sequel, which will be about the children of the original cast.
If you're gonna travel outside the country, you probably need a passport, and I'm sure you've wondered, which country has the most travel-friendly passport? Turns out the 2020 Henley Passport Index has anticipated your question, and rated all the countries.
They claim Japan has the best passport because it offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to an incredible 191 destinations around the world. The rest of the top-10:
2. Singapore
3. (tie) South Korea and Germany
4. (tie) Finland and Spain
5. (tie) Luxembourg and Denmark
6. (tie) Sweden and France
So where does the United States come in? We're tied for 8th place with the UK. That's pretty far down from the #1 spot they both held just five years ago. -
