There's been some talk lately of Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and Adam Sandler doing a movie together. And on today's "Drew Barrymore Show", the three of them hit on a pretty perfect idea:
A remake of "Three's Company".
Obviously, Adam would play Jack. And he's totally into it. He said, quote, "That would be incredible!"
And Jennifer decided she'd have to play Chrissy, because she wouldn't be able to cut her hair. That would leave Drew to play Janet, which is fine. Drew said she'd be fine cutting hers.

A new poll found that 16% of people "always" eat the ice when drinking something iced, and 40% of people "sometimes" do. So where do you go to find the TASTIEST ice?
TheDailyMeal.com recently ranked 11 fast food places on the best ice cubes . . . and it's just as strange as you'd imagine.
Sonic is #1, with "perfect" ice. They aren't cubes, they're "nuggets" that are "crunchable," but are still hard enough that they don't melt too quickly.
Chick-fil-A is second, because their ice chills drinks without watering them down. One person on Reddit says, "I can never throw my [Chick-fil-A] cup away until I've finished eating all my ice."
Zaxby's is third, followed by Dairy Queen . . . Pizza Hut . . . Starbucks . . . Jimmy John's . . . Dunkin' . . . Burger King . . . and McDonald's, which is second to last.
Taco Bell was last with "uneven lumps of frozen water" so bad it's embarrassing. In fact, some people ask for NO ICE at Taco Bell . . . because of the "sub-par consistency."

The Internet seems to want to see Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber in a vicious blood feud. But it seems like the opposite is happening.
Hailey recently reached out to Selena to let her know she's been received DEATH THREATS and, quote, "hateful negativity."
And Selena's not having that. In a message on her Instagram Story, she said, quote, "This isn't what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I've always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop."
Then Hailey posted a message thanking Selena for speaking out. And she said that the two of them have been, quote, "discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I."
She added, quote, "Things can always be taken out of context or construed differently than they were intended . . . In the end, I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity."

There was a court case up in Canada, where two neighbors got into a nasty argument. One guy swore at the other, and threatened him while holding a power tool "in a menacing way." In response, the other guy just flipped the double-bird.
The "victim" . . . the guy with the potty mouth and the power tool . . . was appaled, and filed a criminal harassment claim against him.
Now, a judge has ruled on the case, and he was NOT impressed with the accusation. The judge said giving someone the middle finger is a "God-given" right that belongs to everyone.
He added, quote, "It may not be civil, it may not be polite, it may not be gentlemanly. Nevertheless, it does not trigger criminal liability." He also said that he wished he could literally throw this case out the window.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge say that you can cut down on snacking by simply PRETENDING that your most recent meal was bigger and more satisfying than it actually was.
So basically, you're preparing to devour a sleeve of Thin Mints . . . but then you imagine that your last meal was this big, filling buffet, and suddenly you don't want all those cookies anymore.
They conducted a series of experiments, where everyone ate the same meal of rice and sauce . . . then participated in varying exercises, including visualizing the meal . . . and then were offered any amount of cookies as a snack.
The group of people who were told to imagine the meal they ate was TWICE the size it was ate the fewest cookies on average.
