Wednesday, May 27 - No One Likes Ann Hathaway

According to recent reports, NASA says it’s moving forward with plans to build a permanent moon base that could eventually function like a full-blown city with humans living there full-time by the year 2032. The project would reportedly involve help from private companies, including a deal connected to Jeff Bezos and his space company ambitions. The idea sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie, but NASA believes long-term living on the moon could become a reality sooner than people think. Meanwhile, actress Anne Hathaway recently shared a surprising personal story during a podcast appearance, revealing that she was actually blind in one eye for several years earlier in her life. Hathaway didn’t go into extreme detail, but fans online were shocked by the revelation since she’s never really spoken publicly about it before. Speaking of celebrities, if you happened to see headlines claiming Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees had died, you can relax. The rumors making the rounds online are completely false and appear to be yet another celebrity death hoax spreading across social media. Then there’s Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who once again found himself trending online after posting a bizarre video from a visit to Dr. Mehmet Oz’s house. In the clip, RFK Jr. casually picks up two black snakes that were mating on the patio and continues holding them even after they start biting his hand. You can hear his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, repeatedly telling him to stop while the whole thing unfolds. Internet reaction has been exactly what you’d expect. Over in New York City, a new workout craze is combining brains and bruises. It’s called chess boxing, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Competitors alternate between rounds of actual boxing and rounds of competitive chess during an 11-round match. One minute you’re throwing punches in the ring, the next you’re trying to think three moves ahead at a chessboard. Organizers say it tests both physical endurance and mental focus at the same time. The United States Postal Service also announced that the popular 2018 Mister Rogers stamps are making a comeback, which is good news for collectors and nostalgic TV fans alike. And finally, a school in Tennessee is taking heat online after holding an outdoor graduation ceremony with a “rain or shine” policy and apparently no backup plan in place. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Mother Nature decided to test that policy with a massive downpour during last weekend’s ceremony, leaving graduates, families, and faculty completely soaked. Sometimes the phrase “rain or shine” really should come with a Plan B.
