PICKED UP FOR SEASON 3!!!

I am very happy that I am enjoying the second season as much as I did the first. It is such a quirky show that I don't think that was a given. I think the cast is uniformly excellent, but there is no doubt that Betty is the true star of the show.

Madge's new face almost had egg all over it again: At the Queen of Pop's Celebration Tour stop at the Kia Forum in L.A. on March 9, she called out a fan in the crowd for not standing up during her performance — "What are you doing sitting down over there?" — and quickly apologized to the audience member upon realizing they were using a wheelchair.

Literally... 640-year-old castle with moat found under hotel in France The castle, which has been identified as the Château de l’Hermine, was built by John IV the Conqueror in the 1380s. It is located under the courtyard of Hotel Lagorce.

Ah, the show that made Ethel Merman famous!

Jared Kushner’s brother has bought LIFE Magazine and intends to bring back the print version.

How could neither of you mention her sexiest role?!?!? The NY Post raved.

New MLB record: HR on opening day 5 years in a row. Surprisingly, 3 others did it four years in a row. Yogi Berra, Gary Carter and Todd Hundley (oddly, three catchers) Nobody knows where his interest in working out comes from. I suggest we ask his father: (first posted in 2021 by @purplekow)

My best friend came SO close to winning $50K Monday... A 3rd prize powerball ticket was sold a block from her apartment, at a store she occasionally buys her tickets from.

and my sister and brother in law will be in attendance... less than three months after seeing Tony Orlando's farewell performance... what an exciting year 2024 is turning out to be for them! Tony Orlando and Dawn.MOV

I saw a headline that the Dodgers signed Will Smith to a $140,000,000.00 contract. Does that have anything to do with his upcoming Bad Boys movie with Martin Lawrence?

450-lb. Gator Living Outside Coca-Cola Factory Moved and Put on Diet A 450-pound alligator who lived behind a former Florida Coca-Cola plant was moved from his current habitation and put on a diet to lose some weight, according to a Croc Encounters Reptile Park and Alligator Farm Facebook announcement. On Friday the 9-foot alligator — aptly named Coca-Cola — was removed from Temple Terrace, Fla., after neighbors expressed concern about a damaged fence near the pond the reptile was residing in, Croc Encounters' Karina Paner confirms with PEOPLE. Karina tells PEOPLE that Coca-Cola was "well over" the standard size of a 9-foot alligator, confirming that an animal that size is "typically around maybe 200 pounds." She explained that he was in a "small area." The reptile "was not able to really move around as much as maybe a wild alligator that's going out hunting for their food, so all those things contribute to an alligator becoming overweight, like he is." Coca-Cola was captured by Greg Pollock. The animal was then "immediately" taken to Croc Encounters, and veterinarians agreed to put the 450-pound animal on a diet. "He'll eat fish, we also feed chicken, we'll do that on a regular basis, and hopefully he'll slim down a bit."

Crown Heights’ historic Studebaker building, now a residential property slapped with over 250 city violations, is set for auction in April with a $2.95 million starting bid. The property, which sits on the corner of Bedford Avenue and Sterling Place, will go to the highest bidder between April 9-11, according to multiple auction websites. The building dons a historic circular “Studebaker” sign on white terra cotta façade and is 29,171 square feet. It has 27 residential units and one commercial unit. It was landmarked and remodeled in 2000 and now includes rent-stabilized units that bring in $28,773 per month, with two existing residential vacancies. But 1469 Bedford Ave. has also seen issues with city authorities in recent years. The building’s landlord, Alfred Thompson, landed on Public Advocate Jumaane Williams’ 2023 worst landlord watchlist, at which point the building had an average 243 violations open with the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Heading into the auction, the property had 251 open violations with the department for issues ranging from mold to defective doors, city records show. The property also has a number of open Department of Buildings violations, one related to improper boiler room construction. But the Studebaker building’s new buyer will come out free and clear of any monetary liens associated with the property, according to the listing. A $250,000, four-story build Built in 1920 – the “height of the corporation’s prominence” – the Studebaker building is one of few showrooms remaining on what was once considered Brooklyn’s “automobile row,” according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The borough was, at the time, a hub for car ownership. Now, less than 40 percent of Crown Heights residents own cars, according to 2022 census data compiled by Spatial Equity NYC. Still containing in its original terra cotta, arches and a parapet, the building boasts neo-Gothic details designed by New York architects E. Post Tooker and Reginald Marsh, known for designing schools in upstate New York, Long Island and New Jersey. The massive building cost just $250,000 to construct at the time, according to a 1920 article in the Brooklyn Eagle. “It remains a notable example of automotive showroom/garage architecture and an excellent example of a commercial terra-cotta clad structure which served as a company icon,” the commission said in 2000.
