SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Workers have a message for their bosses this holiday season: Skip the office party — and show us the money! A new survey (carried out in Canada) found that 81% of employees would prefer a cash bonus over attending their company’s holiday bash. Just 13% would choose the party, and the preference for cash crosses all age groups. When it comes to giving up a holiday day off, 47% say double pay would convince them. Another 39% would consider extra time off or more flexible work arrangements, while 12% say their holiday time just isn’t for sale. And if the boss calls on Christmas Day? Most workers said they wouldn’t respond to routine requests — but they will answer if it’s a genuine emergency.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
After 12 years, 3 standalone movies and a holiday special, Amanda Seyfried appears to have no regrets turning down a “Guardians of the Galaxy” lead role. The Oscar nominee explained that the MCU role of ‘Gamora’ was “just not for me,” noting she made the decision “for my family” to not take on the character, which was ultimately played by Zoe Saldaña. In a Q&A with SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Seyfried said: “I’m like, ‘This is not going to be a hit. The tree and the raccoon are talking to each other. And also they’re all in space.’ And I was just like, ‘This will ruin my career if this is bad. And there’s a high chance that this could be bad.'” She then admitted: “Obviously, I was wrong.”
Noah Wyle has been named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2026. The 55-year-old star of HBO’s “The Pitt” told the publication that he “thought that sounded like a prank…not in a million years did I think that this would be an honor bestowed on me.” His wife, Sara Wyle, had to convince the 2-time Emmy winner to accept the title, for which he posed for an outdoor photoshoot wearing head-to-toe denim. Some fans, however, did not agree, with many demanding a “second opinion” on Wylie’s selection for the honor. Aside from physical appearance, the selection process factors in personal style, career success, public image, cultural relevance, and charm.
“Spaceballs” fans can’t wait to see “The New One”, and Daphne Zuniga is sharing updates on the highly anticipated sequel. The actress confirmed during a Q&A at 90s Con that the film will open on April 23, 2027, she also said: “Rick Moranis is back as Lord Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman is back as my husband. His real son, Lewis Pullman, plays our son, the prince, and Keke Palmer is in it. It was great fun.” Zuniga also discussed Mel Brooks’ involvement in the film, saying: “He’s a big influence in it. He (had) filmed his part already before we shot. (He said) ‘You better film me now because I’m 100.’ So we did.”

OF THE DAY
Well…THIS sounds like the plot of a psychological thriller: Scientists say they may have found a way to give the sleep-deprived brain some much-needed rest – without actually sleeping. In a study, researchers used tiny fiber-optic cables to deliver pulses of light into specific areas of mice’s brains, mimicking the rhythms of deep sleep for 30 minutes. Those mice performed almost as well as well-rested mice on memory tests, while sleep-deprived mice without stimulation struggled. The technique appears to help the brain restore learning and strengthen memories while other areas remain alert. The catch? It hasn’t been tested in humans yet, and researchers hope to develop less-invasive methods.
Try taking a photo every day of something that makes you smile — it could be good for your health! Research suggests noticing life’s little joys may be linked to a longer life. Snap a picture of a cute dog, a pretty flower or anything that brightens your day. You could also jot down an act of kindness you witnessed. Psychologists say these simple habits like these help us appreciate moments we might otherwise overlook, while boosting our sense that life has meaning and that we matter. Taking a daily pic is sort of the modern-day version of stopping to smell the roses.

WEIRD NEWS
A nightclub in Tokyo has sparked a trend called Jucy Book Rave. It’s a new way to bring people together – by swapping dancing for reading. During the 4-hour event, book lovers lounge on a carpet-covered dancefloor, reading quietly while DJs play ambient music. Guests can also exchange books and socialize afterward. Later in the afternoon, the music gets louder, and dancing is even encouraged. The first event sold out in just 3 days, proving that sometimes the best way to get a good party started is to…crack open a book?
