It may be a little late, but MADONNA has offered to sublet her apartment on Central Park West to PRINCE HARRY and MEGHAN MARKLE. "Don't run off to Canada. It's so boring there," she claimed in a video posted to her Instagram page on Tuesday.
She says her $7.3 million pad is "a two-bedroom, it's got the best view of Manhattan --incredible balcony. That's gonna be a winner."
Harry and Meghan are reportedly going to be living on Vancouver Island, in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
We'll see if they take the Material Girl up on her offer.
A couple of new studies published Monday in the journal Nature seem to indicate that the coronavirus could have originated in bats --one of the animals that are sold as food in at the market in Wuhan, China. Yes, the Chinese apparently eat bats as food... which could have been how it initially spread.
In fact, the study reveals that genetic makeup is 96% identical to coronaviruses found in bats.
The disease SARS, which began spreading in 2003, was also believed to have started in bats, although it spread to civet cats before infecting humans.
If you're a fan of the movie, "The Goonies," you might want to schedule a week's vacation in Oregon, since Oregon Film and Travel Oregon are teaming up to celebrate the film's 35th anniversary.
Fans will remember the film takes place in Oregon, and there will be Goonies Day celebrations taking place from June 4th thru June 7th. There's been no word on stars of the film attending yet. Head to TheGoondocks.org for the schedule of events and more.
Fast Food Dep't:
McDonald’s will be rolling out their mint-flavored Shamrock Shake on February 19th to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the drink.
Ronald's place will also reportedly be introducing another related item --an Oreo Shamrock McFlurry as well.
Fans will remember the fast-food giant has not issued their Shamrock Shakes since 2017.
Fast Food #2: Meanwhile, if you're into celebrating Valentine's Day before we get to St Patrick's Day, Red Lobster will be selling heart-shaped boxes filled with their Cheddar Bay Biscuits to take to your loved one to mark the holiday.
Beginning Feb 10, if you order a half-dozen Cheddar Bay Biscuits to-go from RedLobster.com, you can also add a heart-shaped box to put them in for just a buck more --and it has a place to write your name and the name of your "Cheddar Bae" on it as well. And... you can also have 'em delivered as well.
