Hot chocolate – not usually thought of as a healthy treat — could actually help you lose weight, says one expert. Steve Bennett, a health coach, claims that one cup per day could help you shed pounds because it is packed with fiber, and as he put it: “Having more fiber in your diet makes you eat less and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.” The only catch? It must be sugar-free. To be sure, he suggests making your own, using 200ml of warm milk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of zero-calorie sweetener.

Will Smith’s character gets slapped repeatedly by Martin Lawrence’s ‘Marcus Burnett’ during a scene in “Bad Boys: Ride or Die”, an apparent nod to Smith’s infamous Oscars incident 2 years ago, when he walked onstage and slapped Chris Rock. In the climactic action scene, Smith’s ‘Mike Lowrey’ character is in mid–panic attack when Lawrence’s ‘Marcus Burnett’, his detective partner, slaps him several times to shake him out of it. The moment, played for laughs, drew audible reactions from crowds at advance screenings. Bad Boys: Ride or Die opens today.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die” has more-or-less overcome the great box office slump of 2024, with an estimated opening-weekend haul of $56 million. While down from the $62 million opening of “Bad Boys For Life” in 2020, the 4th installment of the series exceeded initial projections of a $45-50 million opening. “The Garfield Movie” claimed second place with $10 million.”

Netflix has set a new date for the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, hailed by one promoter as (ahem!) “a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.” The YouTuber and the heavyweight champion will now duke it out on Friday, Nov. 15, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington TX. The match was originally supposed to take place in July, but an ulcer flare up forced Tyson’s doctors to intervene.

A dentist went viral TikTok earlier this year after sharing the circumstances in which you should actually skip brushing your teeth — at least for awhile.

After throwing up.

After eating breakfast.

After eating sweets.

Why should you not brush at these times? The good doctor explains that there is one factor that links the 3 circumstances together: pH levels, or acidity in the mouth. As she puts it: “Your teeth are minerals and an acid could quite literally dissolve them.” She advises waiting 30-60 minutes before brushing in each of these circumstances.
