It seemed like a perfect idea: getting a little bit of exercise by standing while working at your desk. But it turns out that standing desks don’t help your health much at all. According to a new study of adults in the UK, standing at your computer doesn’t make your lifestyle any less sedentary, and doing it for 2 or more hours per day may even increase your risks of swollen or clotted veins in the legs. University of Sydney researchers found that standing more doesn’t do anything to boost heart health or reduce the risk of stroke. They instead recommend you follow the age-old advice that you’ve heard a thousand times: Move your body throughout the day by going for a walk, choosing the stairs, taking quick breaks from your workstation, and getting exercise before or after work.

These days, more straight people are referring to their significant other as “partner”. It’s a term commonly used by those in the LGBTQ2S+ community to describe their relationship to others. Dr. Patricia S. Dixon, a psychologist and professor at National Louis University in Florida, said it is becoming more normalized among Millennials and Gen Zers to say ‘partner’ when referring to one’s mate, as a show of support for inclusivity and to normalize the growing number of non-traditional relationships.

The Golden Bachelorette herself, Joan Vassos, has responded to Martha Stewart’s dig that she’d never do the series because “the guys aren’t hot enough.” On “Access Hollywood”, Vassos said: “I had a great group of guys. She doesn’t know them like i know them.” She continued, saying: “Maybe you have to be in person but they were special guys. I feel like everybody’s falling in love with them! What is wrong with you, Martha? “Stewart made her comments on “Watch What Happens Live”. When Andy Cohen asked if she’d ever consider doing the show, she replied with a resounding “absolutely not.” When Cohen asked, “million dollars an episode?” Stewart simply shook her head.

Venom: The Last Dance” isn’t shaping up to be a “Joker: Folie a Deux”-like disaster, but it did fall well short of its predecessors, with an estimated $52 million domestic opening weekend. That’s short of the $65 million pre-release projections for the Marvel antihero film, and well short of the $80 million first weekend of the first “Venom” in 2018. Also opening over the weekend was “Conclave,” which nabbed an estimated $6.5 million, meeting pre-release projections.

Spider-Man 4”, starring Tom Holland, will be hitting theaters in 2026. Variety reports that “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” director Destin Daniel Cretton is on board to direct the so-far untitled Spidey film, and it’ll be released July 24, 2026. That means Spider-Man 4 will premiere 2 months after “Avengers: Doomsday”. This is similar to the way “Spider-Man: Far From Home” was released 2 months after “Avengers: Endgame”. Tom Holland is set to return as ‘Peter Parker’, following the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in 2021, when he came face-to-face (to face) with Multiverse variants of himself played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

Does anyone “Wordle” anymore? Well, no matter, because its successor may have just been unleashed. Netflix has partnered with TED Talks for a new game called “TED Tumblewords”. The daily word-puzzle mobile game will launch on Nov. 19. The free game, played on your smartphone, lets you play against friends, strangers or the “TED Bot”, which sounds like a horrifying Halloween movie villain. In its announcement last week, the company said: “TEDplayers will slide rows of scrambled letters on a grid to create words, aiming for the longest possibilities while earning points and building word chains.” As they progress, players will be able to collect “fascinating facts that enrich understanding of various TED Topics”. Ted Tumblewords is available for pre-registration now on Android and iOS. It is the latest of about 100 mobile games offered by Netflix.

Whitney Houston’s 1987 hit ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)’ has been named the most popular wedding song by Breezit, an online wedding vendor search tool. The Billboard #1 hit, which appeared on Houston’s second album “Whitney”, appeared 484 times across the 2,000 wedding-themed Spotify playlists that the company analyzed — which contained just under 50,000 songs. ABBA’s 1976 pop classic ‘Dancing Queen’ came second, used in 394 wedding playlists. Landing in third was Usher’s ‘Yeah!’, which features Lil Jon and Ludacris. Breezit CEO Arturas Asakavicius said: “Wedding playlists can help create lasting memories, capturing both the joy of the dance floor and the romance of walking down the aisle.”

An unknown gift-giver is helping residents of Chatham, Kent, England with their energy bills. The generous stranger has been dropping Christmas cards in peoples’ mailboxes, and including cash and a note, specifying the “fiver” is to go toward the rising cost of electricity. One local resident, who said she spotted the mystery gift-giver, said he “had a little stack of cards and he was going round and popping them all in the letterboxes.” She had never seen him before, which is even more odd in the small community, where “everybody knows everybody.”

If you saw someone hitting on your partner, how would you feel? While you might expect to feel a surge of jealousy — or desire for your partner, a new study says the opposite could happen. A team at Reichman University in Israel found that witnessing a partner being hit on tends to trigger a self-protective response that results in decreased attraction to your partner and less relationship investment. But please don’t take this to mean that your relationship is doomed if this happens in your relationship. The researchers emphasized that these effects vary based on factors like relationship security, self-esteem, and attachment style.

The official description says the “jaw-dropping” doc will feature “first-hand testimony and revelations from show insiders,” as well as interviews with producers and former guests, to raise “renewed questions about who was responsible” for the destruction the show caused, “and how far things should go in the name of entertainment.”

If you’ve ever wished you could curl up with your doggo because it looks so comfy in its bed, Costco has you covered. The warehouse store is selling a new human-sized dog bed from Plufl. A Costco video creator posted about the viral dog beds for humans on Instagram, saying: “I remember seeing these (on) shark tank! …It’s so soft and cozy!! This is next level!” The $180 Plufl human-sized dog bed features a 360° pillow that “alleviates tension,” and a soft feel that’s designed to “reduce stress.” It also has an orthopedic memory foam base and is supposedly “easily transportable”, thanks to handles that make the bed foldable. And even better, it’s machine washable. (Which is great for those who buy this thing, and actually let the dog use it!) LINK: https://tinyurl.com/997m5t8u

Today, as online friendships sometimes seem more common than those in-person, new research is showing a surprising key to happiness for young adults: friendship satisfaction. A University of Arkansas study found that teenage friendships lay “essential” foundations for well-being in later life. It was determined that being accepted by one’s peers as a young teen, and close friendships in older teens, generally lead to low levels of social anxiety, and high life satisfaction in later life. The researchers explained that our relationships with others affect how we feel about ourselves, as well as our psychological well-being, and this is especially true in our teenage years.

Variety reports that the untitled movie, starring Cruise, is being directed by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Researchers in Denmark say they have come up with a new drug that mimics the effects and benefits of strenuous exercise, without the user having to move a muscle, if you can believe it. Test results, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, shows that that the drug, known as “LaKe”, produces the same health benefits as running 10km (6.2m) at a fast pace. In experiments on rats, it was shown to flush toxins, suppress appetite, and strengthen the heart, thereby reducing the risk of conditions like heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Human trials will soon take place.

A TV series based on Stephen King’s novel “Carrie” is in development. Horror maven Mike Flanagan will write and executive produce the show for Amazon MGM Studios. The logline describes it as a “timely reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s…untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with…a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.” King’s 1972 book was adapted into a hit film in 1976 with Sissy Spacek in the title role.

Liam Neeson‘s run as an action movie star may come to an end next year. The Oscar nominee is teasing his retirement from the genre that reignited his acting career in 2008, with “Taken”.

He said to People: “I’m 72 — it has to stop at some stage…I don’t want Mark to be fighting my fight scenes for me.” While Neeson has not yet set a specific date for his last action movie role, he did say that it will likely be in 2025, “Maybe the end of next year.”

The Tippy Type is a silicone keyboard cover with raised keys to allow for easier typing. And it has become a viral sensation among “clawed” corporate employees. And while the Tippy Type currently only accommodates medium-long nails, Wang is looking to expand, after receiving a deluge of requests for new colors, international keyboards, covers made to fit different models — and even a version made specifically for gamers.
