Pushing up daisies: Former President BARACK OBAMA's step-grandmother, SARAH OBAMA, has passed away at a hospital in Kenya. She was 99 years old. She was the third and youngest wife of Barack Obama's grandfather, and affectionately called "Granny Sarah" by the former president.
Once again, it bears mentioning that you shouldn't laminate your COVID vaccine card, despite the fact that both Staples and Office Depot are offering to laminate it for free. A better option --pick up a 3x4-inch ID card badge holder and carry it around in that. You can always take it out, but it will protect the card. The CDC also says you might want to take a picture of the card as well so you can have it on your phone. And don't post it on social media, since that can be used for identity theft.
For those of you doing income tax prep, Bloomberg News reports that the IRS has okayed face masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes as medical expenses for tax deductions. But that's if your medical expenses for the year exceeds 7.5-percent of your adjusted gross income --and you'll have to itemize your tax returns.
MADONNA posted a bunch of lingerie photos on Instagram over the weekend. No reason was given for the photos, but if they're recent, you must remember Madonna is now 62-years-old and her figure still looks 35-40 years younger. Head here to see the photos!
Movie news: Disney now says that “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series will begin production in April with EWAN McGREGOR once again starring as the Jedi Master, which he played in the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy. And HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN will play Darth Vader in the new series, which begins 10 years after “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.”
Tube talk: If you liked the way you got to see lots of stars during the Grammy Awards, it looks like producers might be doing the same sort of thing at the upcoming Oscars --moving the stars and nominees in and out of the audience in different groups so they can accept their award and do an acceptance speech.
Tube talk #2: LARA TRUMP, the former president’s daughter-in-law, has joined the Fox News Channel as a contributor. Whether or not she stays with Fox News might depend on whether or not she's going to run for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina if Senator RICHARD BURR vacates his seat. But that's pretty far ahead at this point.
Finally, the NY Post reports that CHADWICK BOSEMAN’s Los Angeles home --where he spent his final days before his untimely death-- is now up for rent. All you'd have to pay is $10,000 per month on a one-year lease to hang out in the 33-hundred square foot house, which comes with four bedrooms and bathrooms, a detached guest house, wet bar, an updated kitchen with a large breakfast room, and big ol' living room and master bedroom with a private deck and sleeping porch. But --it's also not furnished. See views of the house here.
