THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
How do I include my friend in events, but politely ask her to leave her boyfriend home. I know it sounds rude, but he is a horrible person. We've been friends for over twenty years. She moved to my hometown our senior year. She didn't really know anyone, so we invited her to be a part of our little group. She's been an amazing friend for many years now. She was married and we all got along with her ex-husband. They broke up three years ago and she stayed single for quite a while, but about six months ago she met a guy that's just not a nice guy. He treats her poorly and talks down to her. She's so much better than this. I don't understand why she's dating this guy. When we got together last month, he treated the server so poorly that the manager became our server for the second half of the meal. It's absolutely embarrassing to go anywhere with someone who treats others this way. He's not rich, he's not famous, he's not even handsome. I don't understand why he thinks he can treat everyone like he's royalty. I'd love to get her to leave this guy and find someone new, but until then, do I only hang out with her for a girl's night or a ladies lunch? I can't spend another evening with him. I'd rather stay home. What do I do?
Signed – Over This Guy

Your peanut butter preference might reveal more about you than you realize. A survey of 2,000 people found that crunchy fans are more likely to consider themselves optimistic, outgoing night owls, while creamy fans tend to be more introverted and early-risers. 63% of respondents said they would pass on eating peanut butter altogether if it’s not the kind they prefer. And the debate can get surprisingly serious: nearly half said dating someone with the opposite preference could be a deal-breaker.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” showed no signs of slowing down in its second weekend. The ‘Spidey’ film is estimated to have netted $143 million domestically in its second weekend in theaters, about a 60% decline from its record-breaking $360 million debut. Those earnings would push Brand New Day’s domestic haul to $653 million through weekend 2. Second place went to “The Odyssey,” which made about $30 million in domestic cinemas, bringing its North American revenues to an estimated $460 million.
Even prior to its banner second weekend, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” became the fastest film in history to cross the $500-million mark at the North American box office, doing so in just 7 days. The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, broke the record set by another Marvel hit, “Avengers: Endgame”, which reached $500 million domestically in 8 days. Brand New Day also ranks just behind Endgame in the race to $1 billion worldwide, crossing the threshold in only 6 days, one more than Endgame. Meanwhile, it was announced Friday that “The Odyssey” has crossed $1 billion in global ticket sales after just 3 weeks of release.
“The Voice” is entering a new era, and Keke Palmer is ushering it in. After the actress and singer was announced as the host of “The Voice: Celebrity”, a new iteration of the reality singing competition featuring celebs, it appears that NBC was eager for change. A TV insider reported: “NBC wanted fresh energy, a younger face, and someone who could light up social media.” Carson Daly has long hosted The Voice, and though he isn’t hosting this version, he will still serve as a producer. After the news was announced, Daly clarified on Instagram that this is a “spin off format of our long running show”, adding: “I am not the right host for it”, but Palmer is “perfect”.

OF THE DAY
Your gut may be better at spotting fake online reviews than you are. In a 2021 study, researchers had people examine hotel reviews and determine which were real and which were fake. While some participants noticed clues like excessive superlatives, vague language, and a lack of detail, others succeeded simply by trusting their instincts. The researchers say people shouldn’t assume every review is either trustworthy or fake, but instead look for signs of deception. In other words, if a review sounds too good to be true – or reads like it was written by a bot – your gut may be telling you something.
Six Flags Over Texas has opened “Tormenta: Rampaging Run”, the world’s first giga dive coaster. The first what? A giga drive coaster is defined as one that pauses riders at the edge of an almost vertical drop, of at least 300 feet (91m). Tormenta slowly lifts riders to the top of its 309-foot precipice (about the height of the Statue of Liberty), then leaves them hanging face-first over the edge for 3 suspenseful seconds before a 285-foot plunge. The coaster reaches speeds of 87mph (140 km/h) and features 2 inversions. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4xavth

WEIRD NEWS
A Florida steakhouse is taking “fine dining” to a whole new level – by asking diners to leave their clothes at the door. C.L.A.S.S. Soiree Steakhouse in Hollywood recently hosted its second nude dinner, with 20 guests stripping down behind blackout curtains before digging into a multi-course meal. Tickets cost $150 for women, $300 for couples…and single male diners are admitted for $250 (an ‘ogle tax’, perhaps?). The admission price includes champagne, a silk robe, lap towel and custom leather seat cushion. The restaurant is now hosting the event monthly, and chef-owner Maurad Ali says his staff remains fully clothed. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3ewt3x55
