Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Ram and three time NFL's Defensive Player of the Year, has a Stalker. She is Jenelle Anwar. Usually the Stalker is a man and he's obsessed with a woman but there are Stalkers who have been known to be female. So that's nothing new. And celebrities have been known to have Stalkers of all kinds. Some who break into their homes and some who even cause harm to them. But Jenelle is a little different. She wants a divorce. Even though she's never even been in the same room with Aaron Donald. She filed papers in court and she wants $1,500 a month in alimony. Nice work if you can get it and we guess you can get it if you try.* That's a riff off of a line from an old song.
And Six time Jeopardy champion Andrew Hayes did not get final jeopardy in that sixth game but he was so far in front that the other two contestants couldn't catch him. He had 28,800 going into final Jeopardy and he bet 8,800 so he lost that 8,800 and only wound up with 20,000. As opposed to 37,600 if he would have gotten final Jeopardy right or the 28,800 if he'd just bet nothing. But leave it to Ken Jennings to put things in perspective when he said. "Twenty thousand dollars for a half hours work, not too bad." Andrew lost in his 7th game but his six wins gave him $137,804. Nice work if you can get it and you can get it if you try.
Now the Enchanted Six pictured above, took to the skies in their Blue Origin capsule and landed to a chorus of boos. Then came the memes making fun and the cruel jokes. We won't repeat them here as we don't do nasty, even if it's funny. Well sometimes we do but we try not to. Also people pointed out that the Blue Origin craft didn't go up that high and it looked like a chance to take selfies more than a Space flight. So they weren't really Astronauts, as they claimed to be.
In response to the negativity Gail King of the CBS morning show said she was like Alan Shepard. Alan Shepard was the first American and only second man in Space. He rode into Space on a first generation ballistic missile and it had a tendency to blow up during its tests. Also Alan Shepard was a graduate of Annapolis, a veteran of WWII, a test pilot and one of the few men to walk on the moon. So, she might want to re-think that one. Also, Alan Shepard wore a helmet. All Astronauts wear helmets. The Enchanted Six did not wear helmets. It would have ruined their hair, in the selfies.
But don't feel bad for Gayle King, she gets 12 million a year to read off a teleprompter, asks questions and talk about whatever. And that is nice work if you can get it and you could never get that, no matter how hard you try. Fugettaboutittitt!

* 'Nice Work If You Can Get It' by George and Ira Gershwin
And beloved former producer of The Real Housewives shows, Patrick MacDonald says. It's a "real bummer" when some of the The Housewives get sober. Who'd A' Thunk that? We mean who would think that anyone getting sober was a bad thing? Especially, someone who works with and supposedly cares about his employees. Employees who think of him as beloved. Well, if you ever watch these shows you'll see that the women go on these road trips to some luxurious setting like Turks and Caicos. They get put up in some luxurious house. Then they go to dinner at some fabulous restaurant, where some of them drink too much. By the time they get back to the luxurious house, they are fighting and throwing things. That makes for good Reality T V. So when they sober up, they don't fight. They don't throw things. They get boring. So we sort of see the Producer's point here.
And New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation raided the home of Mark Longo in Pine City. There were 12 agents and they were there because of complaints from the neighbors about the wild animals in Mark Longo's animal refuge. Who were these wild animals? Well they were Fred the Raccoon and the beloved P'Nut pictured above. Both animals were tested for Rabies and both were negative. In spite of that, the New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation disposed of them. How? By cutting off their heads! Yeah, just like they were Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette. Who knew they did things like this? Who even knew there was a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation? Who knew they had 12 agents? Who'd A Thunk any of this?
Now we hate to leave on a discordant note but we have to tell it like it is, for the public good.

Well it turns out it wasn't all that bad. The 4 days have passed and she's not quite dead. And, not due to die, anytime soon either.
And also in the news was the retirement of Johnny Mathis. In case you don't remember, Johnny Mathis was a really big time, romantic singer from the 50's and 60's with many big hits and gold records. He was so popular that he managed to keep drawing audiences though smaller, until he was 89. Back in the day, they used to say that he caused more pregnancies than any singer who ever lived, as guys used to play his records to get their dates in the mood. But at the age of 89, the strain of performing was just too much and Johnny said. "That's enough." And, this isn't a sad ending at all, as we're betting that a lot of you who remember him, are happy to learn that Johnny Mathis, just like Virginia Giuffre, is still alive and kicking. And certainly, not quite dead.
And, Jordon Hudson just celebrated her 24th birthday. Who you might ask? Well she was a cheerleader. But that was awhile ago. No, she's in the news, as she is the girlfriend of 72 year old 6 time Super Bowl Champion, Head Coach, Bill Belichick.
After a few losing seasons and in spite of winning those 6 Super Bowls, The New England Patriots fired Bill Belichick.. You would think that a 72 year old, fired NFL Head Coach was finished, washed up, dead in the water. But then along came Jordon Hudson. Here they are together.
