SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A surprising number of people are willing to cut everyday spending in order to be able to see their favorite artists live. A PayPal survey of Americans found 1 in 10 would trim their grocery budget to afford tickets, while others would pause streaming (19%), skip dining out (32%), cut shopping (30%), or cancel nights out with friends (26%). Some would even ditch dating apps (21%) or social media for a month. 38% said they plan to attend a concert or festival in 2026, with many younger fans prepared to spend $500 or more on concert tickets this year.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
People magazine’s “World’s Most Beautiful” issue is out, and this year’s cover star is … Anne Hathaway. “The Devil Wears Prada 2” star is a force, with 5 new films coming this year, including the highly-anticipated sequel “The Devil Wears Prada 2”, which hits theaters May 1. In the cover story, the 43-year-old said she’s not slowing down and is embracing having fun in her career, instead of stressing over it. Hathaway also credits her husband, producer and actor Adam Shulman, for helping to guide her through this extraordinary year she’s having, calling him “a dream partner.”
Despite the controversy surrounding its release, “Michael” is estimated to have broken the box office record for a musical biopic in its opening weekend. Lionsgate said the Michael Jackson biopic was projected to take in $94-$100 million domestically. Even if the final tally only hits the low end of the estimates, the film will still easily surpass “Straight Outta Compton” for the highest-grossing opening weekend for a musical biopic. It was also projected to open at about $200 million worldwide. Critics savaged “Michael” for ending its storytelling in 1988, before the first child molestation accusations against Jackson surfaced.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
As AI tools continue to grow in popularity – and become a part of daily life for college students, fears of cheating have sparked an interesting…and escalating arms race. Professors are running student papers through AI detectors, but these programs often misidentify honest work…especially from non-native English speakers. That can lead to lawsuits and increased stress. In response, students are turning to “humanizers.” Humanizers are AI tools that tweak text to avoid detection. And some students are using detectors themselves to prove their work is human…and won’t be flagged as an AI creation. Experts say the real issue is unclear boundaries: every student and teacher has a different sense of acceptable AI use. The result is anxiety, extra labor for faculty, and a growing debate over how to balance academic integrity with the realities of modern AI.

WEIRD NEWS
A 26-year-old woman got a shock when her nagging cough led to an X-ray that revealed…her missing nose ring had become lodged in her lung. Monica Barajas hadn’t even noticed her septum piercing was gone, and never imagined she’d inhaled it in her sleep. Doctors warned the metal ring was just 0.5mm from her aorta. An initial surgery failed, requiring a second, more complex procedure. Thankfully, it was successful. Doctors say she was extremely lucky – any closer and it could have caused a collapsed lung or fatal bleeding.
