Indiana Jones Delayed By Ford Injury
Production on the much-delayed final installment of “Indiana Jones” has ground to a halt yet again as Harrison Ford recovers from an injury he suffered during filming. “It is Harrison’s last outing as Indiana and everyone thought it would be plain sailing,” an industry insider told the Sun. “But now Harrison is injured and it is worse than first thought.” It began after the 78-year-old “Star Wars” actor hurt his shoulder while shooting a fight scene for “Indiana Jones 5” last week, Disney confirmed in a statement. And while the team had initially suggested that the mishap wouldn’t derail filming too badly, he will reportedly be sidelined for at least three months as he undergoes shoulder surgery. “The film’s bosses have come together to work out the scheduling and it’s chaos,” lamented the source. “The earliest they think they can restart the production is September.” They added, “It was not what anyone was expecting so to have to change everything is a huge blow.”
********He’s getting soft!! He used to get dragged along by trucks and ride on top of submarines in the open ocean!!
*****Instead of fighting, he should have pulled out his gun and shot him!! Like the original!!
*****The movie is gonna be called “Indiana Jones and the F-ed-Up Shoulder!!!”
Bill Cosby Is A Free Man
Bill Cosby will walk out of a Pennsylvania state prison a free man, after the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court issued an opinion to vacate his conviction. He had appealed to the court in December when his lawyers argued that Cosby’s entire life was put on trial that caused him to suffer unquantifiable prejudice. The Supreme Court agreed to review two aspects of the case that Cosby’s lawyers challenged. The first involved the judge’s decision to let prosecutors call five other accusers. The other examined Cosby’s argument that he had an agreement with a former prosecutor that he’d never be charged. He has been in SCI Phoenix, a state prison outside of Philadelphia, after a jury convicted him in 2018 of three aggravated indecent assault counts—and the court deemed the elderly inmate a ‘sexually violent predator’ for posing an ‘imminent safety risk to women.’ Last year, Cosby’s parole was denied for reasons including a negative recommendation from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and Cosby’s refusal to participate in a treatment program for “sex offenders and violence prevention,” Deadline reports.
*********He also requested an examination by “Dr. Huxtable!!”
*****Now he can go ahead with his new TV show: “Cocktails With Cosby!!!”
*******It was funny to listen to all the legal experts who are saying, “Yeah, his conviction was wrong.” Where were they???
Kate Middleton Has A New Job
Prince William announced Kate Middleton’s new role within the royal family during a visit Tuesday to BAE Systems’ shipyard near Glasgow, Scotland. She will be the sponsor of a new battleship, HMS Glasgow, according to Prince William. Queen Elizabeth II appointed Middleton to the position. “This role will see The Duchess supporting the crew through milestones, events and deployments over the vessel’s coming years of service,” the royal family said in a statement on Twitter.v Prince William mentioned his late grandfather, Prince Phillip, while discussing the construction of the new ship. “My family’s affection for the Royal Navy is well known, and as I saw the work taking place here today, I was thinking of my Grandfather, The Duke of Edinburgh,” Prince William said. “He would have been fascinated and very excited to see such advances in skills and technology being put into practice.”
********Kate’s duties include buying a drink for every member of the crew!!
******We hope this new ceremonial position isn’t too much work, on top of all her other ceremonial positions!!
*******Meghan is jealous!! She wants her own ship!!!
Howard Stern Taking The Summer Off
Howard Stern has upset his fans by taking the entire summer off after signing a new deal with Sirius XM said to be worth $500 million. His new Sirius XM contract to give him a break between the end of June and early September. Sirius XM subscribers are revolting, saying Stern — who usually spends time at his Hamptons spread during the summer — has to honor their monthly commitment, lest they cancel their subscriptions. One fan fumed on Reddit, “Howard Stern taking the whole summer off is bulls–t. “Howard Stern just announced per his new contract there will not be any new shows after this week until SEPTEMBER. At first he tried to claim they always do this during the summer then pivoted and said this summer off was part of the new deal he made.” The furious fan added, “Couldn’t take two weeks off? No that would be too fair to his customers. “I pay $20 a month for SiriusXM and I’m not paying $40 for re-runs. All Stern fans should do this … If I knew the new deal would be like this I would have rooted for Howard to retire.” The terms of the deal have not been revealed but it is thought to be in excess of $100 million per year. Which means he’s getting nearly $17 million for his two months of summer vacation. Stern is already said to be worth $650 million.
******We know he’s rich, because now he’s talking about how depressed he is!!
*******We’re checking with Howard right now…. nope, he doesn’t give a crap what they think!!!
*****A lot of iHeart and Audacy employees are taking the summer off. They’re not being paid, but… they have a lot of free time!!
Andy Dick Arrested
Troubled comedian Andy Dick was arrested over the weekend for assault with a deadly weapon, the LAPD has confirmed. Elisa Jordana revealed the brutal incident this week on her YouTube show, “Kermit and Friends,” saying that Dick assaulted his lover Lucas with a metal chair. “He could have killed him,” she says. She suggested that Lucas — whose last name was not immediately available — was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital. “I saw pictures, I saw video; it’s not good,” she said. The LAPD confirmed that Dick was arrested on June 26. Jordana went on to describe Dick — who has had numerous issues with substance abuse and run-ins with the law — as being prone to spinning out of control and getting “very aggressive” when drunk. “It was getting worse and worse and worse,” she says. “Everyday there was some kind of problem. There were signs something was going to happen.” According to Jordana, Dick was just evicted from his home and moved into a hostel, though she said he was soon kicked out after bringing in a group of 11 people.
******And to think: He used to be the biggest Dick in showbiz!!!
William And Harry To Meet In Private
Princes William and Harry will meet in private following the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue in a sign of reconciliation, according to a new report. The feuding brothers will gather with immediate family after Thursday’s low-key event in Kensington Palace Gardens, The Telegraph reported, where the “beautiful” and “informal” memorial to their later mother will be revealed. A source told the publication that the brothers would be “putting on a brave face for the event like they did at the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral”. “They both know it is not about them but remembering the late princess,” the insider added. The statue unveiling, which is also expected to be attended by her brother Earl Spencer and sisters Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, falls on what would have been the late Princess of Wales’ 60th birthday. Absent from the event will be Kate Middleton, which family sources say will be “telling on so many levels.“ The Duchess of Cambridge was cut from the guest list in an effort to keep numbers down due to COVID-19 protocols, but our insider said it’s merely an excuse to keep the family drama away from the important ceremony.
********We hope Williams does what any other brother would do: give him some noogies!!
******Harry is now saying he may have made some “mistakes!!” Like.. listening to his wife???
*******They can’t kick him out of the family… he already quit!!
Ripping The Tabloids (Throughout the week, we’ll give you the stories from that weeks tabs!)
**Please Credit Publication!
Lies, Lies & More Lies!-(National Enquirer)
No wonder Queen Elizabeth is fed up with Harry and Meghan’s lies! Here are just some of their whoppers!
- The royals silenced Meghan. Really? While living in England, she guest-edited British Vogue magazine, and spoke at many of 73 public appearances.
- Meghan’s passport was confiscated by the palace. She flew to Rome, Amsterdam, the French Riviera and New York during her 20-month royal tenure. Only the queen travels without a passport.
- Son Archie, 2, was denied the title “prince” and 24/7 security because he’s biracial. Under royal rules, he and his newborn sister, Lilibet, won’t be entitled until their grandfather, Prince Charles, takes the throne.
- Meghan knew zilch about the royal family before marrying Harry. Oops! She was photographed at Buckingham Palace as a teen, a childhood friend revealed her Princess Diana obsession, and she wrote about William and Kate’s wedding on her former blog!
- The privacy-seeking Sussexes announced their bombshell March CBS special would be their final word. Hardly! Harry let rip with new royal attacks in interviews in May.
Happy 10th Anniversary!-(Us Weekly)
Rachel Weisz, 51, and Daniel Craig, 53, celebrated a decade of marriage on June 22 in their favorite way: a low-key night at home. “They enjoy cooking, trying new recipes and reading. A quiet night in is their perfect date night,” a source says.
Lindsay’s Big Comeback!-(Star)
Happy holidays! After all but giving up acting, Lindsay Lohan has signed on to star in a Netflix rom-com. And the Christmas flick promises to offer all the best of the season. The 34-year-old plays a “newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress,” who suffers from amnesia after a ski accident (of course!) and is left in the care of a handsome bule-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter. Wonder what happens under the mistletoe? Once an insurance risk on sets because of her erratic behavior, Lindsay has been living abroad in Europe and Dubai for years. Recently, she was a judge on Australia’s Masked Singer, but her once-promising career was stalled. “She never closed the door on a comeback,” an insider says. “It definitely burns her that there’s a perception she squandered her talent, and this will show people she has plenty of offer.”
Next to Wed!-(Life & Style)
Aaron & Shailene
Big Little Nuptials! While shooting the hit HBO series Big Little Lies, Shailene Woodley fell in love with Northern California’s Big Sur. And now that the 29-year-old’s found true love with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, 37, she’s planning to marry him in the picturesque spot. “Shailene adores the idea of exchanging handwritten vows in the woods, wearing flowers in her hair and one of her friends playing music on the guitar as guests arrive,” a source says of the actress’ upcoming summer ceremony, which will take place in front of just 50 guests, including her former BLL castmates Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern and Alexander Skarsgard. “She and Aaron focused on venues by the ocean for the afterparty-Post Ranch Inn is said to have been at the top of her list.”
One Last Thing: Toni Collette-(People)
The Aussie actress, 48, stars in the new racing movie Dream Horse, now on demand.
Last time I sang out loud-
I picked my daughter [Sage. 13] up from school and we often listen to Folklore by Taylor Swift. It’s the first album that we both love and know all the lyrics to. We just belt it out morning and night.
Last time I bonded with a horse-
The last was when the kids had a lesson here in Sydney, outside of the city. I communed with a couple of the horses; they’ve got such soft snouts. I’ve had really special experiences with them throughout my entire life.
Last moment of bliss-
Just this morning I woke up particularly early, at 3 a.m. Instead of getting frustrated, I listened to a guided meditation and I got to a point of complete relaxation, where you feel kind of weightless. The only way you can describe it is blissful.
Kim’s Living Hell!-(In Touch)
A series of unfortunate events threaten to drive Kim Kardashian over the edge. She failed-again. On June 10 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, aspiring lawyer Kim, revealed she didn’t pass the “baby bar” law exam for the second time. “F—k!” shrieked Kim, who’s going to law school online. Not only is Kim, 40, seeing her dream of following in her late father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps and becoming a lawyer vanish before her eyes, she’s also going through a nasty divorce with Kanye West, is being sued by seven former members of her domestic staff (who are accusing her of wage theft, retaliation and more), had to get a restraining order against an alleged stalker, and her hot new romance with CNN’s Van Hones has fizzled already, sources say. “Kim may be a billionaire,” an insider, “but money doesn’t by happiness. Right now her life is a living hell.”

Numbers Finally Pay Off In Lottery
A Missouri Lottery player who entered the same set of numbers in the same drawing every week for three years had her patience pay off with a $319,500 jackpot. Jacklyn Bornhop, of St. Charles, told Missouri Lottery officials she has been entering the Show Me Cash drawing every week for years, and the ticket she bought at Schnucks Market in St. Charles for the June 13 drawing bore a set of numbers she had been using for three years. Bornhop said she was shocked when she checked the results after the drawing and saw she had matched all five numbers. “I was in awe,” she said. “It was unbelievable. I checked it over and over.”
*********She won $319,500… after spending $319,455 on tickets!! So she made $5.00!!!
*******How do you pick YOUR lottery numbers?? Or do you do quick pick??
TOPIC: Has anyone ever tried the “lucky numbers” from a fortune cookie??
Artistic Octopus
An aquarium in Florida shared video of an octopus getting in touch with its artistic side by using its tentacles to create a painting. The Florida Aquarium in Tampa posted a video to Facebook showing the octopus creating a painting on a plastic-wrapped canvas with the assistance of a human keeper. The aquarium said the “enrichment painting session” was planned to coincide with the facility’s Cephalopod Week event. The facility invited Facebook users to share their favorite octopus facts to be entered in a drawing to win the painting.
*******This painting should be eight times better than any human art!!!
*******It just looks like a bunch of suckers!!!!
Wife Wrapped In Plastic Wrap
An Idaho man recaptured a Guinness World Record by covering his wife’s body in plastic wrap in only 1 minute and 2.44 seconds. David Rush, who has broken more than 150 Guinness records to promote STEM education, originally set the record in 2019, when he covered his wife, Jennifer, in plastic wrap in 1 minute and 57 seconds. The couple’s record was taken by another pair, who managed the feat in 1 minute, 29 seconds. Rush said it took nine rolls worth of plastic wrap to practice for their latest attempt, and the couple managed to refine their technique to accomplish the feat in 1 minute, 2.44 seconds. Rush said the challenges for the record include ensuring there are no gaps in the wrapping job and ensuring that each arm and leg is individually wrapped.
*****She’s “well-preserved!!!”
*****Who came up with the idea for THIS world record?? Hannibal Lecter??
Wedding Ring Found In Red Robin Trash
Red Robin staff recovered a customer’s wedding ring by digging through five bags of sticky trash, The Wichita Eagle reported. Diane Kilts noticed the ring was lost when she was halfway home after dining at the restaurant and believed she lost the ring while wiping her hands from a burger topped with barbecue sauce, ketchup and mayonnaise, according to the daily newspaper in Wichita. “How do you tell your husband you lost your wedding ring?” Kilts said in the report. “It’s not something you’re supposed to lose ever.” Kilts’ friends called the restaurant on her behalf, and though the trash was already in the compactor, the restaurant’s assistant manager Breck Roop and a busser Miguel Garcia, pulled out bags and started to dig through the sticky garbage, The Wichita Eagle reported. They were on the fifth bag when they found the ring.
******If she was eating a burger with barbecue sauce, ketchup and mayo, her husband may not CARE that she lost her wedding ring!!
*******Of course, she may have been trolling for guys. The Red Robin in Wichita is a big meat market!!

A LIST FOR THURSDAY
6 Times We’ve Had Money Mansplained to Us — And Why It’s Absolute Nonsense
The Penny Hoarder
- ‘Cash is King, So Don’t Pay Your Credit Card in Full.’
Sounds like this guy is just attempting to regurgitate (incorrectly) what his leader Dave Ramsey drilled into his brain. Yes, having cash on hand is great in case of an emergency (that’s why you have an emergency fund), but you know what’s a really fast way to drain it all?
Paying an insane amount of interest on your credit card balances.
Some credit card companies these days are charging a whopping 36% APR, which could wipe out all that cash this Ramseyite worships.
One way to actually preserve your cash long-term is to get rid of your debt as fast and as cheaply as possible. (If Mr. Know-It-All had actually paid attention to his idol, he’d know this). Then you can stop wasting your money on interest. A website called AmOne wants to help.
If you owe your credit card companies $50,000 or less, AmOne will match you with a low-interest loan you can use to pay off every single one of your balances.
The benefit? You’ll be left with one bill to pay each month. And because personal loans have lower interest rates (AmOne rates start at 3.49% APR), you’ll get out of debt that much faster. Plus: No credit card payment this month.
AmOne keeps your information confidential and secure, which is probably why after 20 years in business, it still has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
It takes two minutes to see if you qualify for up to $50,000 online. You do need to give AmOne a real phone number in order to qualify, but don’t worry — they won’t spam you with phone calls.
- ‘Don’t Try to Negotiate — If You Really Wanted It, You Would Pay the Full Price.’
Even millionaires and billionaires don’t pay full price if they don’t have to — what kind of bro thinks he looks cool by showing off his sticker-price items?
Not one we’d want to take financial advice from, that’s for sure. In fact, we would prefer to have someone tell us when we’re about to overpay for something, then show us where we could get it cheaper.
That’s exactly what this free service does.
Just add it to your browser for free, and before you check out, it’ll check other websites, including Walmart, eBay and others to see if your item is available for cheaper. Plus, you can get coupon codes, set up price-drop alerts and even see the item’s price history.
Let’s say you’re shopping for a new TV, and you assume you’ve found the best price. Here’s when you’ll get a pop up letting you know if that exact TV is available elsewhere for cheaper. If there are any available coupon codes, they’ll also automatically be applied to your order.
In the last year, this has saved people $160 million.
You can get started in just a few clicks to see if you’re overpaying online.
- ‘Let the Men Handle the Negotiating, Sweetie. We Get Better Deals.’
Oh, come on. Not only is this wrong — it’s down right rude. Not to mention it totally contradicts the last guy’s advice. Sometimes all it takes is knowledge, confidence and holding your ground to get a killer deal.
But other times, you only need to know the best places to go. Like when you want to get the sweetest deal on car insurance, use a website called Insure.com.
Insure.com makes it super easy to compare car insurance prices. All you have to do is enter your ZIP code and your age, and it’ll show you your options.
Using Insure.com, people have saved an average of $489 a year. That’s a darn good deal, sweetie.
Yup. That could be nearly $500 back in your pocket just for taking a few minutes to look at your options.
- ‘Open Up a New Credit Card, and Don’t Pay it Off Entirely to Bring Your Credit Score up.’
Why do all these mansplainers think an unpaid credit card balance is going to help them reach their goals? Ugh. Holding too much balance on your credit card will likely have the opposite effect.
Instead, we know to trust the experts when it comes to keeping tabs on our credit score. After all, it’ll play an essential role in any big purchase you want to make — whether that’s a home, a car or even opening a business.
So if you’re looking to get your credit score back on track — or even if it is on track and you want to bump it up — try using a free website called Credit Sesame.
Within two minutes, you’ll get access to your credit score, any debt-carrying accounts and a handful of personalized tips to improve your score. You’ll even be able to spot any errors holding you back (one in five reports have one).
James Cooper, of Atlanta, used Credit Sesame to raise his credit score nearly 300 points in six months.* “They showed me the ins and outs — how to dot the I’s and cross the T’s,” he said.
Want to check for yourself? It’s free and only takes about 90 seconds to sign up.
- ‘Invest Your Income; Don’t Put it Into a 401(k). It’ll All Equal Out in the End.’
Investing on your own is great, don’t get us wrong. But does this dude not understand how incredible an employer’s 401(k) match can be? If you took full advantage of it, that could be hundreds of thousands dollars extra in your retirement account.
Setting aside money from your paycheck to put into your 401(k) is literally one of the smartest things you can do for your future. And if your employer matches each contribution, it’s free money!
But if you can’t take advantage of this employer benefit because you need all of your paycheck every month, a company called Lendtable will give you the cash.
We know it sounds too good to be true. But if your employer has a 401(k) match program, this is money they already have earmarked for you. By using Lendtable, you’ll be able to unlock that free cash.
Let’s say you make $50k a year and your employer matches your 401(k) contribution up to 4%. If you put $0 in your retirement account this year, you get $0 from your boss. If Lendtable lends you the 4% of your salary your employer is willing to match, you get $2,000 from your boss, minus Lendtable’s fee. (This comes from the extra money you’ve earned, so there’s no sacrifice on your part.)
It takes three minutes to answer a few questions about your eligibility and sign up for an account.
Once you’ve gotten your full match amount from your employer, LendTable will take the money they lent you back, plus a small share of your profit. If there’s a penalty from your retirement account provider for taking money out, Lendtable will cover that, too.
The risk for you is basically nonexistent, so listening to that mansplainer and not taking advantage of your employer match with Lendtable’s offer would make Future Millionaire You bow your head in shame. Get started here.
- ‘You Only Need to Invest in Tesla.’
Tesla has shown to be a profitable stock to own, there’s no doubting that. And if you listened to this mansplainer and only invested in Tesla in 2010 (with a starting price of $3.84), you would have made a massive profit by now.
But back here in 2021, not everyone can afford a $650+ stock — and not everyone should put all their money into it, anyway. Diversifying your investments, even small ones, is a smart way to grow your wealth in the stock market. So don’t put all your electric eggs into one Model 3 basket.
If you feel like you don’t have enough money to start investing, though, you’re not alone. But guess what? You really don’t need that much — and you can even get free stocks (worth $2.50 to $200!) if you know where to look.
Whether you’ve got $5, $100 or $800 to spare, you can start investing with Robinhood.
Yeah, you’ve probably heard of Robinhood. Both investing beginners and pros love it because it doesn’t charge commission fees, and you can buy and sell stocks for free — no limits. Plus, it’s super easy to use.
What’s best? When you download the app and fund your account (it takes no more than a few minutes), Robinhood drops a share of free stock into your account. It’s random, though, so that stock could be worth anywhere from $2.50 to $200 — a nice boost to help you build your investments.
