A video that’s gone viral shows a guy getting busted for trying to steal meat from a grocery. The thief tries objecting to the accusations for a bit and then finally admits his crime and pulls a rack of ribs from his elastic-waist sweatpants. The meat bandit also two packs of meat, another rack of ribs, and, finally, one more rack of ribs. That’s a lot of stolen meat in ONE pair of pants.

Chewbacca Mom, Candace Payne, has reportedly made nearly half a million dollars with her popular clip. Since she posted her laughing clip on May 19th when she bought and tried on her mask, it has became the most-watched Facebook Live video in history.  She’s received $3,000 from Kohl’s (which sells the masks), $7,500 from talk show appearances (such as Good Morning America and The Late Late Show), a $7,500 Walt Disney World vacation and VIP passes to the Fan Expo Dallas convention worth $2,000. But the biggest gift? College scholarships from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida for her two young children worth $400,000. In the clip below, she has some fun with Late Late Show host, James Corden.

A tour featuring Marilyn Monroe just began, or at least a tour of her possessions and some of her notes. The items are from the estate of her acting coach, Lee Strasberg.  She left several things to him in her will, including a note. You can bid on these items at the end of November, after their tour. Interesting to see these items.

Granville, Tennessee’s Sutton General Store has been named by Country Living magazie as one of America’s Most Charming General Stores. It’s been around since 1880 and changed hands a few times. It even closed for a while…….30 years, but in 2000, Harold & Beverly Sutton discovered the store and fell in love with it. They fixed it up and ran it until 2007 when they donated it to the Granville Museum. That’s when the Sutton Ole Time Music Hour Bluegrass Dinner show began.  That little store has given Granville life and is the focus of many festivals.

There is a new contemporary bible on the market just released for Apple’s iBooks store on Sunday called “Bible Emoji: Scripture 4 Millenials”. Someone took all 66 books of the Old Testament and New Testament and translated them into EMOJIS and texting lingo. Now, before you start thinking how horrible this is, the reason they did it, is to get the younger generation to read the bible more. it costs $2.99.  By the way, the person who created it is staying anonymous . . . his pen name is “Sunglasses Guy.”

Marilyn Monroe was born June 1, 1926. If she hadn’t passed away in August of 1962, she would have been 90 tomorrow. Here are some things you may not have known about Marilyn.

1. People often think Marilyn was curvier than she really was. In fact, she was petite and weighed just 118lbs. and was 5ft 5in tall. Her weight fluctuated, but her measurements are most often given as 36-24-34 or 38-23-36 for bust-waist-hips.
2. Marilyn was so paranoid about sweat & blemishes that she washed her face up to 15 times a day.
3. Depression ran in the family – her uncle and greatgrandfather both committed suicide.
4. The night she sang Happy Birthday to President Kennedy at the old Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962, Marilyn was wearing a sheer, flesh-coloured dress with huge 2,500 rhinestones. The gown was so tight she had to be sewn into it.
5. Marilyn married her second husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio, in January 1954. She asked Joe to promise to leave flowers on her grave every week if she died before him. He later kept his promise.
6. She won a Golden Globe in 1960 for her performance in Some Like It Hot. She was never nominated for an Oscar.
7. Marilyn was a huge fan of Nivea moisturizer.
8. More than 2,000 people gathered to watch as she filmed her famous skirt blowing scene for The Seven Year Itch in September 1954.
9. Marilyn wasn’t just a pretty face. She owned 200 books, including Tolstoy and Whitman, listened to Beethoven and took a course in literature at UCLA.
10. Before she died, Marilyn told her personal makeup artist to make sure she he did her makeup if anything ever happened to her.  He did, one last time. She had a bronze casket lined with champagne-colored satin. She was dressed in her green Pucci dress and a green chiffon scarf, a favorite which she had worn at a press conference in Mexico City earlier that year.
