Big news (not!): Insiders now say KIM KARDASHIAN is a billionaire, beating out sister KYLIE after the folks at Coty shelled out $200 million dollars to pick up 20-percent of Kim's beauty empire.
And let's not feel too bad for her sister, KYLIE, who's estimated to be worth "just" around $900-million bucks... maybe $950-million.
Not a sci-fi movie --the real thing: CNN reports the folks in the US Navy have successfully tested a new high-energy laser weapon that can destroy aircraft in mid-flight.
Maybe you've seen those cards which you could purchase and wear so you wouldn't have to put on a face mask? They read “wearing a face mask poses a mental and/or physical risk to me. Under the Americans with Disability [sic] act, I am not required to disclose my condition to you.”
Well, sorry, Charlie, the Department of Justice says those cards --which have a logo from the Department on them-- are not real and you can't use them. Officials say the ‘Freedom to Breathe Agency,’ or ‘FTBA,’ which the card claims authorizes the claims and is not a government agency.
More bad news --the folks at The Broadway League, the trade group representing theater owners and producers, now say that all Broadway show performances will be cancelled through at least the rest of the year and may --that's not definite, either-- may begin again on January 3rd, 2021.
Broadway has been shut down since March 12th of this year.
Netflix has announced a new, six-episode scripted series about the guy who takes a knee on the football field during the national anthem --COLIN KAEPERNICK. The folks at Netflix say the series, called "Colin in Black & White," will look at his high-school years, and "the acts and experiences that led him to become the activist he is today." Colin will serve as the narrator for the series as well.
