SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new study suggests alcohol may influence food cravings in a surprising way. Researchers found that drinking appears to increase levels of a hormone linked to stronger cravings for savory foods and reduced interest in sweets. Analyzing data from more than 9,000 Australians, it was found that people tend to eat more salty, savory foods on days they drink alcohol. The biggest problem is when those foods are ultra-processed, high-fat snacks that don’t provide much protein. Drinkers who paired alcohol with these foods consumed about 40% more calories than recommended, even before counting the alcohol itself. Researchers say the findings may help explain alcohol’s role in weight gain and obesity.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Seth Rogen is standing by a decision that ended one of Hollywood’s most recognizable creative partnerships. Rogen was recently asked about his longtime friendship with James Franco, whom he collaborated with on a string of hits, including “Pineapple Express,” “This Is the End” and “The Interview” before publicly distancing himself from the actor, following multiple allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior that surfaced in 2018. Rogen told The New York Times: “I’m trying to think how much I want to personally share about this.” He declined to delve into details but made clear his position has not changed. The comments come as Franco attempts to rebuild his acting career.
Tyra Banks is firing back at Netflix following her appearance in “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model”. Banks claims that her portrayal in the docuseries about her reality show “America’s Next Top Model” is defamatory and was edited to support a false narrative. She’s asking for a jury trial to determine the “appropriate” amount she should receive in damages, according to court documents. The lawsuit alleges that Netflix used just 16 minutes from her over 3-hour interview “to support a false and defamatory narrative”.
The original summer movie filmmaker met the new generation of directors over the weekend, with Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” entering the fray amid a summer dominated by Gen Z hits “Obsession” and “Backrooms”. Spielberg’s UFO feature brought in a projected $44 million domestically, a solid start for the filmmaker’s first popcorn movie in 8 years. Curry Barker’s word-of-mouth hit “Obsession” took in an estimated $21 million in its 5th weekend, good enough for second place, while “Scary Movie” came third, with about $15 million.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
31% of us have re-watched a TV series we’ve already finished at least 3 times.
It’s like a K-Cup pod…without the pod. The Italian coffee brand Lavazza has launched its Tablì system in the US, aiming to challenge Keurig’s dominance of the single-serve coffee wars as with a plastic-free approach. Instead of traditional pods, Tablì uses compact espresso tablets (that’s right — condensed, puck-shaped java tablets!) made entirely from compressed coffee grounds, using no plastic or aluminum. The system works only with Lavazza’s own machines and will debut in 5 varieties, including espresso, decaf, and lungo. A pre-order bundle including the machine, 60 tablets, and a milk frother is priced at $99.99, rising to $249.99 later. Developed over 5 years, the product reflects a growing push toward sustainability as competitors race to offer greener brewing options. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mr2snmcx

WEIRD NEWS
Crumbl Cookies has released a line of dirty sodas, and one of them, called “Crazy Cousins”, mixes Red Bull, Mountain Dew, pineapple, coconut cream, and strawberry purée, and contains a whopping 186 grams of sugar. That’s nearly half-a-pound. Of sugar. In one drink. The 32-ounce can delivers about 840 calories and more than FIVE TIMES the recommended daily sugar intake for an average adult. For comparison, that’s roughly equivalent to the sugar in 5 cans of Coke…or about 19 Krispy Kreme donuts. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/5dktkbnh
