Yesterday the new Jennifer Lopez album This is Me Now, and the accompanying film on Amazon Prime came out.
Tour tickets go on sale February 23rd.
All of this coming off the big winning Dunkin commercial with Ben Affleck from the Super Bowl.
“This (album) kind of closed the loop in a way,” Lopez says. “It captures this moment to really say the things I want to say about love, and that is that true love does exist and some things are forever. Please don’t give up on that because that’s all that matters in life … love.”
Lopez has said that this might be her final album and she doesn’t suggest otherwise when asked to explain why she would be happy with “This is Me … Now” as her swan song.

An elementary school in South Carolina did a weird Valentine's Day fundraiser to support its 4-H Club. They put out four buckets with a different school official's name on each one, and people could drop money in.
Whoever's bucket raised the most money had to kiss a cow on Valentine's Day. That person ended up being the school's principal, who embraced the challenge. He put some lipstick on and planted a kiss on the cow's nose.

Someone who works at McDonald's posted a video of a DoorDash order that came through . . . for a single salt packet. No food, just salt.
McDonald's usually hands those out for free. But if you ordered through DoorDash, you'd still have to pay their fees and leave a tip.
Some people think the person ordered it by mistake. Or the employee just did it as a stunt to go viral.
But a lot of restaurant workers in the comments said they've seen similar orders. Like people ordering a single dipping sauce.
A few more weird single-item orders people listed: A cup of syrup . . . two ketchup packets . . . 10 hot sauces from Taco Bell . . . a fork . . . a side of pickles . . . and just 15 slices of American cheese.

iPhone users, do you actually use Siri on your phone? the only thing I've really mastered is using it to add things to my shopping list.
The site Lifehacker posted a list of things you might not know Siri can do. Like
1. Flip a coin. She'll tell you if it came up heads or tails. She can also roll dice.
2. Calculate your tip. Just say something like, "What's 20% of $63.80?" She'll tell you to tack on an extra $12.76.
3. Read articles out loud. You need iOS 17 for that one, and the webpage has to be open in Safari.
4. Find your other Apple devices. Tell her to ping what you're looking for, like your Apple Watch. As long as it's in your "Find My" list, it should start beeping.
5. Open your Apple Wallet. You don't have to fumble through your phone to find concert tickets or your boarding pass. She can open it faster.
6. Translate. Just tell her to "say this . . ." in whatever language you want. It can be helpful when you're traveling in other countries.

Who's the bigger baby about being sick, men or women? Well, we might have an answer . . .
Someone polled 2,000 people and asked if they'd rather be taken care of, or just be left alone when they're sick. 53% of women would rather be left alone, compared to 47% of men.
Guys were also far more likely to want their MOMMY when they're feeling unwell. 58% wish their mom could still take care of them when they're sick . . . and 43% think she'd take better care of them than their significant other does.
Only 35% of women said their husband or boyfriend would take better care of them than their own mom would.
Guys are also more prone to let people know they're sick. 29% have posted an "I'm sick" photo on social media, compared to 20% of women.
A lot of women might not be shocked by any of this, by the way. 80% in the poll said they think they handle being sick better than most guys do.

It's hard to imagine a criminal thinking this would be a good idea.
A 26-year-old man in Michigan broke into a county jail . . . with a knife . . . and then began to break into an ATM in the bond lobby area.
Corrections deputies saw him, and called the police when they noticed he had a knife. It's unclear if the knife was meant to intimidate people . . . or if he was using it to somehow cut into the machine or something.
In any event, they trapped him inside by locking the exterior doors electronically, which was possible because IT IS A JAIL.
The cops came and arrested him . . . and he was escorted into the jail, which was down the hallway.

Multiple people in Mesa, Arizona called 911 the other day to report ALLIGATORS swimming around a lake in a city park.
Turns out city officials recently added some realistic FOAM alligators to the lake for birds and turtles to sit on.
A few of the 911 callers were fully convinced they were real though. One woman even claimed a gator latched onto her boyfriend's fishing line.
Despite the confusion, it doesn't sound like the city plans to remove them anytime soon. They actually just doubled down and added two fake HIPPOS.
They're Styrofoam hippo heads that float around. So it looks like they're lurking under the water, about to attack.
