Heard about that new teen challenge? Health officials are very concerned that your teenager might be taking the so-called "Benadryl challenge" after it began gaining popularity on the social app, TikTok. But doctors say taking bigger doses of Benadryl can lead to "serious heart problems, seizures, coma or even death." The FDA has also put out a warning and has reportedly contacted TikTok and "strongly urged them to remove the videos from their platform and to be vigilant to remove additional videos that may be posted." Benadryl's generic name is diphenhydramine, and the FDA also says if someone you know is hallucinating, can't be awakened, has a seizure, has trouble breathing, or has collapsed, you should get medical attention right away or call the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Popping one out: JESSICA BIEL and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE have a second son. Although the rumors have been around since July, former *NSYNC band member LANCE BASS told "Entertainment Tonight" the rumors were true. The couple also has a five-year-old son named SILAS as well.
Those rumors are true: People magazine reports actress EMMA STONE and "Saturday Night Live" writer and comedian DAVE McCARY have tied the knot. He's 35; she's 31 and they met in 2016 when Emma hosted SNL near the end of 2016.
In case you'd been wondering: The NY Times was able to obtain PRESIDENT TRUMP's income tax returns for 10 of last 15 years, and reports he paid ZERO income taxes in and just $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017. The paper also claims Trump faces hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, including struggling Trump Organization properties and a number of write-offs to avoid paying taxes. Trump Organization lawyer ALAN GARTEN discounted the story, claiming "most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate” and said “Over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015.”
