This is a tough one for me today. Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee died yesterday, at the age of 95. He was responsible for so much of my childhood entertainment, and, quite frankly, my entertainment to this day. He is greatly missed. But at least we have his body of work, and all those awesome cameos he made in the Marvel Super Hero movies. Excellsior sir.
Celebrities have all kinds of things with their name on it. Make up, wine, clothes, but Halle Berry has one that no one else does; an football play. Yep. The L.A. Rams have a play called ‘Halle Berry.’ I’m not sure what the play is, but it looks good. You know, because she’s so pretty. And yes, she’s another celeb crush.
Jeff Bridges might want to work on his penmanship. Jeff was a victim of the California wildfires, and was rescued by helicopters after he wrote SOS on a bed sheet. But it was a close call. One of the responders said they weren’t sure if his sign said SOS or 805, the area code. How would you like to have been the guy who didn’t come get Jeff Bridges because you thought his sheet said 805, not SOS? “Nope, that says 805, that guys fine. Kepp going.” Who writes a phone number on a sheet in the middle of a fire? No one, that’s who.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a sly way of ending meetings, according to Jeopardy host Alex Trebek. Trebek said in an interview (with Vulture), “I spent almost an hour with him in Ottawa. … I noticed at one point, after about 45 minutes, that Justin did something like this [scratches under his shirt], and about ten seconds later, there was a knock on the door and one of his assistants came in and said, ‘Mr. Prime Minister, you have a meeting.’” Trebek thinks Trudeau “has a buzzer under his shirt that he can use to signal his assistants when it’s time to come and get him.” I want one of those.
