SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new study suggests that the connection between parents’ weight and their children’s weight is mostly explained by genetics. Researchers analyzed data from 86,000 Norwegian children and found inherited genes accounted for most of the link between parents’ BMI and a child’s BMI by age 8. The findings don’t mean childhood obesity is inevitable, though. Researchers say lifestyle and environment still play an important role in how those genetic tendencies come to fruition over time.

Fans of the “James Bond” franchise are getting closer to finding out who will play the iconic spy next. Producers and director Denis Villeneuve have begun informing actors who have made the next round of auditions, which will occur in August. Villeneuve has been calling talent directly, but particular names have not yet been reported. Actors like Harris Dickinson, Callum Turner and Jacob Elordi fit the prototype of who producers are eyeing for this next leg of auditions, according to reports.
Netflix and the PGA have released the trailer for “The Hawk,” a new comedy series starring Will Ferrell as a has-been pro golfer mounting a comeback. The official logline reads: “Lonnie Hawkins, 2004’s #1 golfer, struggles on the back 9 of his career to recapture his magic. His body says retire, but his heart says he’s not done yet.” In the show, Lonnie’s ex-wife and his son Lance, golf’s new golden boy, know he’s through. But with one more major to win to complete golf’s Grand Slam, Lonnie believes he’s just one stroke away from the greatest comeback in golf history. “The Hawk” hits Netflix July 16.

TV audiences love a bit of romance, but in 2026 they want their romance to be fictional, and preferably adapted from a novel. With the success of shows like “Heated Rivalry”, “Off Campus” and of course “Bridgerton”, this doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Over the past year, the volume of first-run book adaptations has shot up by 73% to 19, according to Ampere, while book adaptations have accounted for more than 40% of scripted romance commissions since the first half of last year. Unsurprisingly, Ampere cited “BookTok” as a major factor. That’s the growing trend of hit novels that gain traction on TikTok, then are picked up for adaptation for TV.

Heinz has a clever way to catch restaurants secretly refilling its bottles with cheaper ketchup. They found the exact Pantone code of their ketchup, and added it to the border of their label. Now, if the ketchup inside doesn’t match the red on the label, customers know it’s not actually Heinz. They call this system the “Label of Truth.”
The world’s most valuable football (soccer) club globally, Real Madrid, which plays in Spain’s La Liga, is worth US $9.5 billion, according to Forbes. And no wonder it’s worth so much. Real Madrid brought in $1.27 billion in revenue in the 2024-25 season. That not only beats every other soccer team, it also surpasses the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys’ $1.23 billion in 2024 season revenue, which previously set the record for highest revenue from a sports team.

In case you thought that at least SOME jobs are safe from AI, people are now using humanoid robots to beg for money on the streets of several Chinese cities. The robots sit or kneel with signs reading things like: “I have no money to charge my phone,” or “Please pay my electricity bill,” alongside QR codes for digital donations. Photos of the robotic beggars quickly went viral, sparking debate online. Some worry it’s another example of AI overreach, while others believe the unusual scenes are simply a publicity stunt or social experiment.
