Sorry to hear about MASON SCHREADER, who got a tattoo of his station's logo last week --and then was fired on Friday. "The tattoo isn't even a week old; still healing," Schreader said on Twitter with a photo of the arm. Of course, this leads to a...
Question for your listeners: Did you ever get a tattoo (or other permanent fixture) and then quickly regret it? Could be something from work, a relationship, sports team or whatever.
VICTORIA BECKHAM posted a note on Instagram that she had an 'entire bucket full' of her children's lost baby teeth... and now she wants to know what to do with 'em.
Question for your listeners: Did you keep 'em --or give 'em to the tooth fairy (snicker)?
Interestingly, actress NICOLA PELTZ, who is engaged to Beckham’s eldest son, BROOKLYN, suggested in a direct message that Victoria "dip [the teeth in] gold and wear them on a necklace" Turns out that Nicola actually wears a necklace that has Brooklyn’s gold-plated wisdom tooth as a pendant... and he has a gold-plated wisdom tooth necklace with one of her wisdom teeth as well. And now you know (pause) the rest of the story...
Lotsa people are using Zoom to do meetings, reunions and other things, thanks to the pandemic. And now, People magazine reports KELLY ROWLAND says her DESTINY'S CHILD "sisters"-- BEYONCE and MICHELLE WILLIAMS -- watched her give birth via Zoom back in January. She said "We had our family join on Zoom. They were able to see NOAH come into the world. It was beautiful." Noah is her second son with her husband, TIM WEATHERSPOON. Her other son, TITAN, is six years old now.
Question for your listeners: what have you done on Zoom that's been unique... and did you love it or regret it later?
Passages: Actor JOHNNY CRAWFORD has died. You may remember him as CHUCK CONNORS’ son in ABC series “The Rifleman” from 1958-63. He was also one of the 24 original Mouseketeers in the first season of ABC’s “The Mickey Mouse Club.” Johnny was 75, and had contracted Alzheimer’s disease back in 2019 before he contracted Covid-19 and then pneumonia.
Also passing: Oscar-winning actress OLYMPIA DUKAKIS, who picked up the statuette for her role in "Moonstruck," in which she played Rose Castorini, the nosy-but-sensitive Italian mother, with CHER acting as her daughter. Olympia passed away Saturday in New York City. She was 89 years old. She was also the first cousin of former Governor MICHAEL DUKAKIS, who ran for president in 1988, but lost to GEORGE H.W. BUSH.
Tube talk: Lotsa controversy over ELON MUSK hosting "Saturday Night Live" this coming weekend, and the NY Post's Page Six reported on Friday that cast members won’t be forced to appear on the show alongside the controversial billionaire. However, sources say none of the cast members plan to boycott the show.
More TV stuff: Finally, congrats to EBONI K. WILLIAMS, who is the latest addition to “The Real Housewives of New York City” on Tuesday, as well as the first black cast member in the show’s 13-year history. Eboni says “I was the first black woman at my law firm, I was the first black woman in my gifted classes in high school. The first black woman in most of the pageants I was ever in.” She was the first runner-up for Miss North Carolina USA back in 2009.
