"The Price is Right" game show is going nationwide and making 50 stops to mark the show's 50th season. That means you could be watching the show live and in person when it comes to your city or even become a contestant! The "Come On Down Tour" will also be visiting several major U.S. landmarks, such as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. And there's also a chance for one lucky fan to win a grand prize of $50-thousand dollars as well. Various ticket web sites (i.e., vividseats.com, seatgeek.com, etc) have tickets on sale for the shows.
Gabrielle Union will be joining Octavia Spencer in the upcoming third season of "Truth Be Told." The series is about "true-crime podcasts," and what happens when the crimes are talked about and what can happen when the public finds out about them --sometimes before the police. Gabrielle currently stars in Disney+’s "Cheaper By the Dozen" remake.
Billionaire Carl Icahn says we may be in for a recession because he thinks we've got more inflation coming, too, and “I really don’t know if they can engineer a soft landing” he said.

When that cop stops you and asks to see your driver's license, would you show him your iPhone? Apple says they have software that will let you add your driver's license or state ID to their Wallet app, and just tap it when you wanna show it to the guy who pulled you over --or the TSA crew at the airport. So far just Arizona residents can use the feature, but other states including Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi, Ohio, Georgia, Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Utah will be able to use the app in the future.
The app is available on the iPhone 8 or later running iOS 15.4, which was released to the public last week, and on the Apple Watch Series 4 or later running watch OS 8.4 or later.
Another big-bucks jewelry robbery using sledgehammers to break windows at a store --this time in Beverly Hills, CA.
