"Dancing with the Stars" judge Len Goodman has died. He was 78.
Goodman, who was head judge of "Dancing With the Stars" since its 2005 premiere, announced in November "with a touch of sadness" that the season would be his last on the judge's panel after 17 years. The show moved to Disney+ in the fall of 2022 after 30 seasons on ABC.
Expect the new season sometime in September.

The Jonas Brothers new song is called “Waffle House” and Delish.com has an article questioning if the Jonas Brothers have actually eaten at a Waffle House.
The writer Mackenzie Filson actually says, "I'd expect a song about Waffle House to be a lot darker."
According to the Jonas Brothers, "'Waffle House' was born from a simple but powerful idea: When you sit down with the people that matter most, anything is possible. This song isn't about a restaurant, it's about coming together with the people you love and making your dreams come true."
"I'm going to need to see the literal Waffle House receipts (or just know how they order their scattered hash browns)."

You probably think 53-year-old Jennifer Lopez follows a strict diet to look so good. But it turns out, it's just her superhuman genetics.
On "The Drew Barrymore Show" Friday, Ben Affleck said J-Lo eats whatever she wants. Quote, "She eats pizza, cookies, ice cream . . . everything . . .
"She works out, but I work out too . . . but I don't magically appear to be 20 years old, you know what I mean? With perfect skin and the whole thing. She's the most gorgeous woman in the world."

A website conducted a survey on "controversial" restaurant behaviors . . . and asked people if they thought these things were cool or NOT cool. Thousands of people weighed in, and here are a few results:
1. 62% of people say it's NOT COOL to start eating before everyone's food has arrived . . . unless the waiter has specifically said that there will be a delay. 38% say it's cool to start eating your food ASAP.
(There are special circumstances. But if YOUR food is running late, it's a nice courtesy to let others know they can begin while their food is hot.)
2. 87% of people say it's NOT COOL to argue with a host about wait times because you see empty tables . . . if don't have a reservation.
3. 82% say it's NOT COOL to bring in outside food, unless it's specifically allowed. There are legitimate exceptions, like food allergies.
4. 73% say it's NOT COOL to ask for something that's not on the menu. Again, there are reasonable exceptions, like allergies or dietary restrictions. Most places should at least allow you to remove items you can't eat.
5. 58% say it's NOT COOL to tip less than 20% if the service was good. Those who said it's fine may have a lower default tip . . . it's not that they refuse to tip.
6. 37% say it's NOT COOL to take photos of your meal. 63% say it's fine.
7. About half, 49% of people, say it's NOT COOL to ask for your check to be split more than four ways . . . and another half says it's NOT COOL to ask for separate bills after the check arrives at the table.
