So you haven't seen a Girl Scout selling cookies because of the pandemic and you're yearning for some? Dunkin' Donuts has you kinda covered, because they're launching three new flavors of Girl Scout Cookie-inspired bottled iced coffee.
There's Thin Mints, which has the cookie’s combination of rich chocolate and refreshing mint. Or how about Coconut Caramel, which has toasted coconut mixed with the flavor of creamy caramel. And (of course) there's S’mores, which combines notes of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow flavors. Look for 'em at Dunkin' stores beginning at 10 am this Friday.
Pushing up daisies: GEORGE SEGAL, who died Tuesday in California at 87 years old. He starred opposite ELIZABETH TAYLOR and RICHARD BURTON in the 1966 film, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and many other films and TV shows including "The Owl and the Pussycat," "Just Shoot Me," "California Split," "The Goldbergs," and has a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
COVID News: If you live in 12 cities --including Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, and Phoenix-- you can now get a COVID test through the Door Dash delivery service. The company says two types of tests will be available --a nasal swab or a saliva sample-- with both results within 24 to 48 hours. But --it'll cost you. The company says prices range from $109 to $119.
The company Vault Health also will have a test kit delivered to your door in 20 cities --including Houston, Las Vegas, and San Diego.
CBS is producing another one of its FBI series. Variety reports "FBI: International" will debut next season, adding to the "FBI" and "FBI: Most Wanted" series. No word on casting yet.
The folks at Lifetime are putting together yet another film --the third-- in their “Harry & Meghan” franchise. “Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace,” will be out this fall. No word on casting for this one, either.
You're probably pretty old if you remember ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY as the star of the TV series, "Bewitched." Now, Sony Pictures is reportedly developing a movie based on the sitcom, which ran from 1964 to 1972 on ABC. No word on stars for Samantha Stephens, the witch who was married to an normal man named Darrin Stephens (originally played by DICK YORK).
ASHLEY TISDALE is a mom --she gave birth to a baby girl Tuesday and has named her JUPITER IRIS FRENCH. Her husband's name is CHRISTOPHER FRENCH. Would you name your baby for a planet? Venus? Never mind.
