Report for Thursday, Mar 21st

Starting with a Love Nugget. When Ariana Grande arrived on the scene at the age of 17, she insisted she would not get married unless she was positive it would work. Well, she waited 10 years but at 27 she married Dalton Gomez, a real estate dude. It lasted two and a half years. Gomez wanted alimony, instead agreed to take $1.2 million settlement.

Well, I predicted it months ago. Jennifer Lopez weird video, This is Me… Now, along with that and her single and album both bombing. Jennifer has announced she will be cutting summer concert tour short. No surprise, weak ticket sales. She needs a big movie.

TV ratings surprise. After all the numbers were crunched for Oscar week, the Oscars did better than originally thought. The top 5 that week and number of viewers. #5 Young Sheldon, 6.5 million. #4 FBI, 7.11 million. #3 Live from the Red Carpet, 7.14 million. #2 World News with David Muir 7.7 million and #1 The Oscars, 19.4 million. But The Super Bowl had 123.4 million viewers.  

Weird workout guru Richard Simmons basically disappeared a couple years ago but this week reappeared to announce, he is dying and had cancer, a small basal skin cancer! That doesn’t kill you, just ask Hugh Jackman, Christie Brinkley, Khloe Kardashian, Melanie Griffith, Terry Bradshaw, Diane Keaton, Caitlyn Jenner, Andy Cohan and many others, including yours truly. Hopefully that’s the only thing wrong with Richard.

Sports shorts. Get ready, March Madness stars in earnest today! And the Dodgers won the season yesterday. And the streamer Peacock will also be carrying the Olympics.
