Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - May 5, 2021

Will ya buy it? MEGHAN MARKLE has written a children's book and inspired by her husband, PRINCE HARRY, and her son, ARCHIE. Called "The Bench," the book reportedly began as a poem she wrote on Father's Day and then expanded into the book which will be published June 8th. FYI: It's apparently not Meghan's first attempt at writing --she reportedly used to write a lifestyle blog called "The Tig" before meeting her husband.

If you saw WILL SMITH's picture of his self-admitted "not so well-toned body," then you may be interested in his upcoming YouTube series called "Best Shape of My Life." The six-part series will have him "challenging himself to improve every aspect of his fitness," as well as interviews with athletes, scientists and other people.
