SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

Is it perhaps time that all drivers be required to take a refresher course on the finer points of piloting a vehicle? Because according to a survey, many of us have forgotten the rules of the road. In a survey, a quarter of us said they think they’d fail the written exam for a driver’s license if they were forced to take it again. The survey of 2,000 drivers in the US also found that just 40% are certain that they remember and follow all of the safety precautions they were taught when they began driving. And the average driver says they understand about 78% of the dashboard indicators and warning lights (men: 82% vs. 76% of women). And when asked about their personal vehicle, 43% admitted that there are currently one or more dashboard warning lights lit up right now, and we wait, on average, about 5 days to address them.

Spider-Man’ will return – but we still have a ways to wait. On “The Tonight Show”, Tom Holland revealed that his next “Spider-Man” film will begin shooting in Summer 2025. When pressed on the subject by host Jimmy Fallon, the actor said: “Next summer, we start shooting,” Everything’s good to go, we’re nearly there. Super exciting.” That’s a large pivot pivot from comments Holland made just a week ago during a podcast appearance, where he revealed he’d recently read a script for the film, but “it needs work.” He did, however, say at the time that when he and Zandaya read it, they “were bouncing around the living room, like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”

Sydney Sweeney is set to play legendary film star Kim Novak in Colman Domingo’s Sammy Davis Jr. biopic “Scandalous”, according to an insider at Miramax. The project co-stars David Jonsson as the iconic entertainer. Although plot details are being kept under wraps, the film centers on the scandalous and brief love affair between Novak and the Rat Packer, which took place in 1957. Principal photography will take place in Los Angeles after Sweeney and Domingo wrap the third season of HBO series “Euphoria.”

THE 5 BEST CELEB COUPLES:

According to consultations with fans on credible review sites, such as Elle, Parade, Cosmo, and Harper’s Bazaar…

1. Jay-Z and Beyoncé: They have been together more than 20 years, and are one of music’s most iconic couples. In spite of some tough times, they have survived, and are proud parents of 3 kids: Blue Ivy and twins Sir and Rumi.

2. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen: From their swoon-worthy red carpet appearances to their hilarious social media banter, they have managed to keep it real while building a beautiful family of 6.

3. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith(!): While they have had their share of controversy, not the least of which was Jada’s revelation last year that they are separated, they’re still most definitely life partners.

4. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: They seemed to have a fairytale life in the making after they got married, but it’s been a rough road since their vows. However, it seems their relationship is thriving as they enjoy their family of 4 in America.

5. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds: The real-life definition of “couple goals.” After meeting in 2010 on the set of “Green Lantern”, they now have 4 kids and are one of the most beloved celebrity couples in Hollywood, thanks to their common senses of humor and the love they publicly share for each other.

A company is selling a pet collar that it claims it claims will help your dog or cat talk to you. The collar, named “Shazam”, measures your dog’s vitals – and uses AI to form sentences. The collar has a speaker on it, and the owner is instructed to talk to their pet, and it will respond (or the collar will…) with a human voice, creating the illusion that your pet has a humanlike personality and the ability to speak English. The collar, which costs $595, is just for cats and dogs now, the hope is that there will be enough interest that the company will be able to eventually offer talking collars for other critters.
