SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
So-called “toxic multitasking” may make you FEEL productive, but experts say it can actually wear your brain out and make it harder to absorb information. Constantly switching between tasks can backfire, leaving you accomplishing less. To break the habit, focus on one task at a time, silence your notifications, and keep your phone out of sight. Experts also recommend taking real brain breaks, like going for a walk without your phone. Stepping away from screens altogether can help restore your energy and concentration.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Rosie O’Donnell didn’t even get to her first line. The 64-year-old walked onstage as the ‘Narrator’ in “The Rocky Horror Show”, and the audience was already on its feet. In an interview later, she said she “had never seen anyone get a standing ovation before they speak as they enter the stage.” When it happened, O’Donnell said she “Almost didn’t know what to do, and then I got all choked up.” O’Donnell is filling in for Rachel Dratch at Studio 54 for a 2-week run that wraps Oct. 18.
Sylvester Stallone is reflecting on his once-contentious rivalry with Arnold Schwarzenegger, revealing that they’re now “good friends”. The 2 action stars had a well-documented rivalry that dates back to the 1977 Golden Globes. Stallone’s “Rocky” was nominated in 6 categories, winning Best Motion Picture– Drama, while Schwarzenegger won New Star of the Year for “Stay Hungry”. Stallone later claimed Schwarzenegger laughed at him when Rocky lost in the other categories. When the movie won its sole award, Stallone reportedly threw a bowl of flowers at his rival. Stallone said in 2022 that the pair “truly loathed” each other in the 1990s. Speaking at a PaleyFest NY 2026 panel on Saturday, he said not only are they now friends, “There’s a respect. We’re very similar types.”

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
These days, it seems we spend so much time avoiding small talk with strangers, we may be missing out on a little happiness. Research suggests that even a quick chat with a barista, a neighbor, or the person ahead of you in the grocery line can boost your mood and make the world feel a little friendlier. And while we worry these conversations might be awkward or unwelcome, they often go better than we expect. So, the next time you’re standing in line, resist the urge to bury your face in your phone. You never know…a 30-second conversation could be the highlight of somebody’s day!

WEIRD NEWS
An exotic green bird flew into a terminal at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and was filmed fighting with passengers and airline workers. Videos captured near the Air France check-in line at the airport's Terminal 5 show the green bird, which may have been a parrot, perching on passenger's heads and luggage. The bird can be seen becoming aggressive and pecking at anyone who attempts to touch or capture it. Paris Elbert, an O'Hare worker who captured video of the bird's Oct. 13 visit, said the avian flew into the airport through an open door. "A lot of people wanted to get the bird, but every time they tried to either grab the bird or be nice to the bird, the bird chose fight, not flight," Elbert told CBS Chicago. Elbert said a janitor was finally able to capture the bird using a shirt and took it to a veterinarian to be examined and scanned for a microchip. https://www.upi.com/Odd_News
