SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
It turns out that rich people like fake brand-name goods, too. A new study found that people at both ends of the income scale are especially likely to buy knockoff designer products. Middle-income people? Not so much. Researchers at the National University of Singapore analyzed millions of counterfeit purchases across more than 24,000 U.S. ZIP codes. The found that motivations for buying fake Gucci bags and the like go beyond saving money — with status, social influence, and psychology also playing major roles. Lower-income shoppers tended to buy counterfeit versions of more accessible luxury items, while wealthier consumers favored fake products from ultra-luxury brands such as Hermès and Chanel. The rich are also more likely to purchase higher-priced replicas, suggesting a preference for better-quality fakes. Counterfeit versions of iconic products like the Birkin bag and Chanel Classic Flap were found to be especially popular. Researchers say the growth of cross-border e-commerce has made fake luxury goods easier to access and say that anti-counterfeiting efforts should target a wider range of consumers.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Sacha Baron Cohen has wrapped production on a new ‘Ali G’ film, which will bring his sketch comedy breakout back to the big screen. The character was previously featured in 2002’s “Ali G Indahouse.” The new film was shot in secret, much like how Cohen operated on 2006’s “Borat” and 2020’s “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” two of his most popular movies. The character Ali G originally appeared on the UK’s “The 11 O’Clock Show” before becoming the title character of “Da Ali G Show” in the early 2000s. He earned a following in the U.S. when the program aired on HBO.
“American Horror Story” has set a release date for its highly anticipated 13th season. The hit FX horror anthology will return September 24 on FX and Hulu, streaming globally on Disney+. The new season is shaping up to be an all-star reunion, with returning favorites Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman all aboard, along with AHS newcomer Ariana Grande. The series is celebrating the forthcoming star-studded season by rolling into San Diego Comic-Con with a fleet of ice cream trucks offering sinister sweets inspired by each of the previous chapters of the anthology series.
“Flashdance” icon actress Jennifer Beals is joining the CBS spinoff series “NCIS: New York.” Beals will be a series regular in the newest installment of the “NCIS” franchise, which already features LL Cool J returning as ‘Special Agent Sam Hanna’ and Scott Caan as ‘Special Agent Nick Schaeffer’. Beals will play ‘Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robyn Wells’, the director of the NCIS New York field office. The series, coming this fall, will follow Hanna as he returns to his NYC hometown and the NCIS field office.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
• 40% of people say they have a favorite spot on the couch that nobody else should sit in.
It turns out that using our devices can result in more problems than just “tech neck”, according to a new report from the BBC. Experts say too much screen time may result in “phone body”. That’s a combination of any or all related afflictions, including tech neck, eye strain, weaker grip strength and reduced motor skills. In addition, constant smartwatch use can even irritate your skin. Looking down at a screen puts extra pressure on your neck, of course, so raising your device to eye level and taking regular breaks can help. Spending more time outdoors may protect your eyesight, while exercise and hands-on hobbies – like cooking, woodworking or playing an instrument – can help maintain strength and coordination. The good news? Experts say that making small changes now may help prevent bigger problems later.
