Back on tour: PEARL JAM, Saturday night in Asbury Park, NJ --their first concert in three years. The band also welcomed former RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist JOSH KLINGHOFFER, who played with the band on all 20 songs in their set, playing guitar, percussion, and singing backing vocals. Klinghoffer will also reportedly be joining the band next weekend at EDDIE VEDDER’s Ohana Music Festival in Dana Point, CA.
Coming soon: The latest JAMES BOND film, "No Time To Die," hits theatres Friday, October 8th, and it's being plugged as DANIEL CRAIG's last Bond film. The Hollywood Reporter says there were several things --not just the pandemic-- which pushed filming for the blockbuster back, including an explosion on the set which blew up part of the soundstage, Damage to Craig's ankle resulting in surgery, and more. In an Apple-plus documentary, Daniel said “I’ve loved every single second of these movies. And especially this one” even though it wasn't easy.
Surgery: AMY SCHUMER has had her uterus and appendix removed because of endometriosis. Her husband, CHRIS FISCHER, posted a video in which Amy revealed “The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed. He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.” Back in August of last year, Amy said her mind was made up about never getting pregnant again anyways after she used IVF with her now-two-year-old son, GENE. “(It) was really tough on me,” she said. “I don’t think I could ever do IVF again.”
COVID update: Add comedian CHRIS ROCK to the list of folks testing positive for COVID-19. He posted the news to Twitter yesterday (Sunday), saying “...Trust me you don’t want this,” Rock tweeted. “Get vaccinated.” Chris has already said during an appearance on the "Tonight" show back in May that he'd been vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has led people to wonder how he picked up COVID if he was already vaccinated.
Fast food: Marco's Pizza, with locations nationwide, is celebrating National Pepperoni Pizza Day (today --Monday) by offering large one-topping pizzas featuring pepperoni for $8.99. Normally, a pepperoni pizza goes for $11.99-$12.99, depending on the location.
Would you shell out $300 bucks for a haircut? The London Sun posted a video of a woman who posted a review of her $300-dollar haircut, saying (in part) “I look like I’m on the PTA... I swear I don’t drive a (bleep)ing mini van. I look like I have three sons who play (bleep)ing T-ball. I look like I collect coupons, oh God, I don’t collect coupons.” Video here: https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/3679145/woman-expensive-haircut-looks-like-karen/?
Question for the listeners: What's the most you EVER paid for a haircut and would you pay $300 for one?
Couple of stories to watch: This year's EMMY AWARDS last night, live from the Microsoft Theater in LA and hosted by CEDRIC the Entertainer... “The Mandalorian” and “The Crown” were this year’s most-nominated series with 24 nominations each. “Ted Lasso” also had 20 award nods.
Also, a body was discovered yesterday amid the GABBY PETITO search in Wyoming national park, and the FBI has said the description of the body is consistent with the description of Gabby.
