Between the HARVEY WEINSTEIN guilty verdict yesterday and the Dow Jones dropping more than one-thousand points like a rock because of the Coronavirus, there's not a lotta room for other news... but let's try:
Thanks to the spread of the Coronavirus, Paramount Pictures says they're putting off the filming of “Mission: Impossible 7” in Venice, Italy. Probably a better solution than making TOM CRUISE wear a mask.
While we're on the movie track, various sources say CHRIS EVANS is in talks to play the dentist, Dr. Orin Scrivello, in the upcoming “Little Shop of Horrors” movie.
No word on who'll play Seymour, but rumors claim SCARLETT JOHANSSON and TARON EGERTON are also looking to get other leading roles in the movie as well. FEED ME, SEYMOUR!!!
Various online tech sites are pushing the rumor that Apple is working on a new phone with no ports or holes --just a wrap-around display and all glass on the outside. No word on how much THAT might cost...
Music news: Rolling Stone reports JUDAS PRIEST have announced a 50th anniversary tour, cleverly called their “50 Heavy Metal Years Tour.”
The fun is scheduled to begin September 9 at MGM National Harbor in Maryland, and roll through major cities, finishing in Las Vegas on October 17th.
Fast food: Easter's coming and that means fast food joints will be stocking up on fish food for Fridays and throughout the Lenten season:
- Krystal has a new "Krystal Catch fish slider."
- Del Taco is rolling out "Jumbo Shrimp Tacos."
- Wendy’s has a "Wild Caught North Pacific Cod Sandwich."
- And Church’s Chicken has "Garlic Butter Shrimp ‘N’ Tenders"
