First things first, ever since Alex Trebek died, Jeopardy ex-producer Michael Richards has been running rough shot on everybody, even appointing himself as the permanent host, however that decision was vetoed by the syndicator.

Movie News: I can’t believe it, who pitched this stupid idea for a motion picture? Are you ready for Dennis Rodman’s out of control movie called 48 Hours in Vegas. It’s about his weekend before the 1998 NBA Chicago Bulls Finals. It will also look at Rodman’s relationship with North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un. I mean, do we really need this movie?

While I loved Respect, it flopped. And no surprise Flag Day got no respect at the box office, it also flopped. Respect cost the studio $100 million to make, brought in a measly $23 million. Flag Day cost $85 million to make but has brought in only $665,000 world wide. Pitiful.

Just the facts. … Head’s up, if you are traveling, please note, voted the best Airline in America, Jet Blue.
Billionaire Trivia: You know you have way too much money if you build a 10,000 year, 42 million dollar clock that’s 500 feet tall, built into a mountain that ticks only once a year and chimes only once a millennium. But billionaire Jeff Bezos built it exactly that! Hey Jeff, how about feeding the poor?! Just saying.
