- One
of the oldest and best-known daytime television game shows is about to go from
cheesy exercise in family communication to a freaking party. How? By adding a
heaping helping of Gronk, that’s how. That’s right, everyone’s favorite
overgrown frat bro turned All-Pro tight end, New England Patriots star Rob
Gronkowski, will be taking his Summer of
Gronk fun to “Family Feud,” a show known for asinine answers to easy questions
and clueless family members whose relatives are forced to applaud their
stupidity in the hopes of earning enough points to win and advance to the Big
Money round. Gronkowski's older brother, Chris, confirmed earlier this week that
the family's four oldest brothers will be filming an episode of Family Feud
this weekend along with their father. Chris Gronkowski did not offer any
insights into who the family will face, but it honestly doesn’t matter. Given
how these bros roll, their answer to every prompt is going to involve alcohol,
parties, hot women and working out, so it’s going to be an entertaining show.
Last we saw Gronk, his Patriots were getting dinged $1 million and having their
franchise quarterback banned for four games for deflating footballs to illegal
levels en route to a Super Bowl win over Seattle. Over the summer, Gronk has
shown up in "Entourage" and
will be featured in a cop role in another movie filmed recently -- "You
Can't Have It," with Gronkowski brother Dan snagging a role as a police
officer in the movie. Here’s hoping the producers of the “Feud” roll a couple
of kegs on the stage and make shirts optional for this one………
- Teacher
of the Year candidate or best teacher in the history of the world? Those are
the only two options for Gaia Democratic School director Starri Hedges, a
Minnesota sex education teacher who is getting a fair amount of heat for taking
middle- and high-school students on a field trip to an adult novelty store. Some
might argue that transporting about a dozen students to Smitten Kitten is a bad
idea because, you know, they’re immature teenagers who can't really handle
being flooded with a 360-degree scene of assless chaps, whips, edible underwear
and vibrators. So what inspired this unlikely adventure? Hodges claimed she
wanted to provide a safe environment for kids to learn about human sexual
behavior and what better place to do that than a place where, if you shop
regularly, you’re probably someone who has a definite safe word with your
partner? "What I saw happening on our trip, I thought it was beautiful
because kids could talk to these sex educators without any shame, without any
fear," Hedges said. Sex educators? Is that what you call the tattooed
freak with nipple rings and a tramp stamp under her mesh tank top and leather
hot pants working behind the counter? Hey Starri, your name might imply that
you’re a stripper masquerading as a teacher, but educating these kids is
actually your job, not that of the minimum wage earners at Smitten Kitten. The
store does offer videos and toys alongside educational workshops, which the
students attended, but parents were probably not down with their kids being
taken condom shopping, even while attending a small K-12 school promising academic freedom, youth empowerment and
democratic education. Best of all, this school of 25 students is housed in a
Unitarian church and is seemingly run by a teacher who admitted she
“unfortunately didn’t communicate well enough with parents ahead of time” about
the trip. However, she did make sure that pornographic items were off limits to
the children, so there is that. Well
done, you molder of young minds…….
- “Arrested
Development” rides again. New episodes of the cult favorite comedy will launch
on Netflix in spring 2016, according to the show's executive producer Brian
Glazer. Glazer revealed in April that he and creator Mitch Hurwitz are planning
to make "another 17 episodes" of the show and he proceeded to let
that teaser dangle in mid-air in the faces of the comedy’s legions of devoted
fans before revealing additional details this week. "Netflix is determined
to do more episodes, so we're going to do more episodes," Glazer said.
"We're going to do it [at] the turn of the year. January, February we're gonna
start it." Glazer claimed that the episodes would launch on Netflix around
"four months" later, meaning April or May of next year is how long
the world will have to wait. Of course, Netflix has yet to make any kind of
official announcement about a new season of the series, although it earned
plenty of credibility points back in 2013 when it revived the show for a fourth
season after a seven-year hiatus, launching 15 brand new episodes
simultaneously. Proving either that this show still has tremendous pull or that
it doesn’t do much for its stars after they move on, original cast members
Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett and Michael Cera all reprised their
roles as members of the eccentric and dysfunctional Bluth clan. However,
critics and even some fans slammed the fourth season because they hated what
Hurwitz described as the "anthology" format, wherein each episode
revolved around a single Bluth family member. The original “Arrested Development” aired on Fox for three seasons from 2003 to 2006 before
being canceled and the fact that it’s still alive in any form 12 years after
its debut is remarkable no matter how you evaluate it………
- Bust
out the booze and unpack those party poppers, yo, because it’s time to set this
mo’fo off. Oh, you didn’t know? The reason the party is on is because those
lab-based badasses at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN,
announced that they have successfully restarted the world's biggest particle
collider after a two-year shutdown and upgrade and it's now producing almost
double the collision energy of its first run. Scientists announced that the
Large Hadron Collider will now run around the clock for the next three years
and best of all, it won't get to put in for any overtime. This was always the
plan as the collider underwent a $150 million upgrade after its first run,
which produced results that helped confirm the existence of an elusive
subatomic particle, the Higgs boson 0 the so-called “God particle.” CERN
director Rolf Heuer and his team of
physicists hope the new run might lead to discoveries that could help
"explain remaining mysteries such as dark matter." Unraveling the
mysteries of the universe is a lofty goal, but the LHC has plenty of space in
which to do its work. It is submerged in a 16.8-mile tunnel beneath the
Swiss-French border. With its litany of impressive upgrades, this scientific
behemoth is now
smashing together protons at 13 trillion electronvolts. For the scientifically
stupid, that number means that the LHC is smashing sh*t together hard….real
hard. You know at least a few of the CERN scientists are hitting up the local
bars and opening with that line on all the ladies they encounter………
