THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I'm so embarrassed. My husband got into a shouting fight on an airplane last weekend and I’m still not over it. He is a big guy. He’s 6-5, and just as the plane gets in the air, a kid in the seat ahead of him reclines into his knees. My husband gets the attention of the kid’s mom, who tells him he’ll have to deal with it, and she won’t make the kid move the seat. So my husband got in her face about it. To make a long story short, she called the flight attendant, and my husband got in a fight with her, too. Everyone in the section was staring at us, and I wanted to crawl into my carry-on bag. Then we had to do the walk of shame leaving the plane. The bratty kid didn’t need to recline his seat, but he over-reacted and I’m appalled at his behavior but he doesn’t understand why I think he was wrong. What do I do with this guy?
Signed,
Embarrassed Wife

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Simply stepping on a scale daily may help you lose weight, even if you’re not actively trying to do so, according to a study. Earlier this decade, researchers at Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania examined 294 female college students of varying body fat percentages over a 2-year period. Generally, those who reported weighing themselves at least once a day during the study saw weight loss, along with a reduction in their BMI. The weight loss was “small but still significant, especially keeping in mind that these women were not part of a weight loss program”, according to the lead researcher.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Keanu Reeves has provided an update on the long-awaited “Constantine” sequel. Loosely based on DC’s Hellblazer comics, the 2005 thriller followed a cynical exorcist with the ability to travel to hell and back, and perceive the true appearance of half-angels and half-demons. Since the 2022 announcement that a sequel to the cult classic was in the works, details have been scarce, but Reeves just told Inverse they “recently put a story together and pitched it to DC Studios and they said, ‘Okay,’ So, we’re going to try and write a script.” Though he didn’t share info about the plot, he confirmed that the sequel is in “the same world” as the original movie, and joked that “John Constantine’s going to be tortured even more.”
Survivor 48” premied, but at an advance screening in New York, host and showrunner Jeff Probst broke some big news about an eagerly anticipated future season: Fans will get to make the call when it comes to several key elements in the game. For “Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans”, which will begin filming in a few months and air in 2026, viewers will also be able to vote in a series of categories that will determine the course of what unfolds on the island. The first round of voting will commence during the Survivor 48 premiere tomorrow. Some of the decisions fans will be in charge of include: “Idols or No Idols,” “Final Four Fire Making: Keep It or Lose It” and “Live Finale and Reunion Show in L.A. – or Keep the Winner Reveal and Aftershow in the Jungles of Fiji.”
Meghan Markle has been dropped by her talent agency WME, according to a report from Page Six, which cites multiple cources. But the top Hollywood agency denies it has given her the royal flush, and says it’s still working with her. Page Six says the Duchess of Sussex has not held any meetings with the agency’s head honcho Ari Emanuel since January 2024, although she is believed to have met with her day-to-day agents. An industry insider said Markle was let go because she was “too demanding” and “difficult to work with.”

OF THE DAY
Last month, endurance athlete Sophie Power broke the world record for distance covered by a woman on a treadmill in 48 hours. The 42-year-old mother of 3 covered more than 365 km (226.8 miles) across 2 days, running and hiking on a treadmill at the National Running Show in Birmingham, England. The secret to her success? “You need to set something slightly outside your comfort zone.”
Just about the worst disappointment you could experience after jetting away to a sunny destination is to have your vacation ruined by wet weather. But judging by their new promotion, one travel company has got your back, should that ever happen again. Florida’s JetBlue Vacations has teamed up with WeatherPromise to offer a “weather guarantee” that offers reimbursement for travelers’ trips against “significant rainfall.” JetBlue customers who book eligible “Flight + Hotel” packages will receive protection for all trip components, including rental cars and activities. WeatherPromise, which is a tech startup, is on board to determine if rainfall meets the qualifying threshold. If it does, customers will be automatically reimbursed — without even having to fill out any paperwork, the company said.

WEIRD NEWS
The famously disastrous Fyre Fest is still getting a sequel. Fyre Festival 2 is set to be held on Mexico’s Isla Mujeres May 30-June 2, according to the founder Billy McFarland. Monday, he described it as a “3-day escape to the Mexican Caribbean where you’ll explore by day alongside your favorite talent and come together at night to celebrate with music.” His statement on X promises “world class accommodations” and “adventures…taking guests on boundary-pushing excursions by day and uniting for intimate beach-side performances at night.” No performers have been announced. He organized the original 2017 Fyre Festival in the Bahamas that gained popularity among influencers and celebs – but those who spent thousands on tickets were met with mass disorganization, shoddy tented lodging and now-infamous limp cheese sandwiches.
