SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
On a positive note, a new study says that people who regularly visit museums, attend concerts, dance, paint, or take part in other arts activities may age more SLOWLY at a biological level. Researchers at University College London analyzed data from more than 3,500 adults And found frequent arts engagement was linked to healthier DNA-based aging markers, with effects similar to physical exercise. The more often people participated, and the wider variety of activities they enjoyed, the stronger the link appeared.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Grown Ups 3” is officially in development at Netflix. The Adam Sandler threequel has long been rumored, with cast members David Spade and Kevin James teasing that the project was in the works. But this announcement marks the first time Netflix has officially acknowledged the project’s status. While it is rumored that at least the core 5 actors of the franchise – Sandler, Chris Rock, Spade, James and Rob Schneider will return, the streamer did not confirm any casting news.
“Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington, who played ‘Jon Snow’ in all 8 seasons, has talked about his proposed spin-off. The “Jon Snow” show was originally revealed in 2022, but was thought to have been canceled until a new report early this year revealed it might still be in the works. Harington admitted: “We tried to make a Jon Snow show for a little while, and just couldn’t.” He said his main concern was not wanting to “do an injustice by the character”, which he feels “ended well”. He didn’t sound optimistic about a new Jon Snow show, stating: “If you pick him up again, it needs to be for the right reasons.” Next up for Game of Thrones is “House of the Dragon” season 3, which arrives on HBO next month.
Former “Modern Family” costars Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould now live together in Los Angeles as roomates. Winter says their dynamic feels like a mini Modern Family reboot, and thinks people would find their interactions funny. The 2 became close as the youngest cast members on the show, which ran for 11 seasons, ending in 2020. She feels their dynamic could be the premise for a reality show, saying: “When we sit there at night and we watch, like, Temptation Island together, it’s pretty hilarious. So we have thought about it.”

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
A study suggests that if you drink with friends, you’ll drink more.
A group of shirtless college baseball players turned a few St. Louis Cardinals games into some of the biggest parties of the year. After students attending a nearby tournament were given tickets, they took over a section of right field — singing, waving shirts, and pulling other fans into the chaos. The energy helped spark the Cardinals to back-to-back wins over the KC Royals, with players and even the team mascot joining in. The fans sang soccer chants and shouted players’ names, while the stadium organist played accompanying music and got everyone involved. Manager Oliver Marmol was so impressed that he offered to buy to keep buying them tickets, though he admitted he might “go broke” if it becomes a regular tradition. The “tarps off” trend – taking a shirt off and waving it – is not new to sports, but it was to Busch Stadium.

WEIRD NEWS
YouTuber Tom Kopke (aka Tooleko), jumped out of a plane to solve a Rubik’s Cube in freefall – and set a world record doing it. The 23-year-old German completed the puzzle in 23.33 seconds, before pulling his parachute over Mossel Bay, South Africa, beating the previous 28.25-second record, set in 2023. Kopke said he had dreamed of the stunt for years, but had to wait until he earned his skydiving license. He also practiced…a lot…to avoid dropping the cube mid-air. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/yrx6rmsp

THE LIST
2026 SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS:
Summer blockbuster season will officially begin when ‘Baby Yoda’ returns this Friday in “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu”. Here are the 12 movies coming to theaters this summer that are vying to be “THE” blockbuster of the year, à la “Jaws” or “E.T.” or “Independence Day”, etc…
✪ “The Mandalorian and Grogu” (May 22): Pedro Pascal’s masked interstellar gunfighter finally makes the jump from Disney+ to the big screen, again protecting everyone’s favorite Force-sensitive green child. Sigourney Weaver joins the galaxy far, far away as a former Rebel pilot leading the Adelphi Rangers, while Jeremy Allen White voices Jabba’s son, Rotta the Hutt. Yes, really.
✪ “Scary Movie 6” (June 5): 13 years later, the horror-spoof franchise rises from the dead with Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans all returning. Expect jokes targeting everything from “Longlegs” and “M3GAN” to modern horror tropes, social media panic, and probably at least one deeply inappropriate doll gag.
✪ “Masters of the Universe” (June 5): Following Barbie’s success, Mattel heads back to the toy box with a live-action “He-Man” epic starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam. Jared Leto plays Skeletor, Idris Elba is Man-at-Arms, and Camila Mendes steps in as Teela, as Eternia heads to war.

✪ “Toy Story 5” (June 19): Woody and Buzz reunite after their emotional split in “Toy Story 4”, this time facing off against modern technology threatening Bonnie’s childhood. Familiar favorites like Jessie, Rex, Hamm and Slinky Dog also return for Pixar’s latest nostalgia-powered adventure.
✪ “Supergirl” (June 26): Milly Alcock trades Westeros for the DC Universe as Superman’s cousin embarks on a revenge mission across space after her father’s murder. Jason Momoa also joins the franchise – not as Aquaman, but as the foul-mouthed alien mercenary Lobo.
✪ “Minions & Monsters” (July 1): The little yellow chaos agents head to 1920s Hollywood in this animated prequel, where they attempt to create their own monster movie, decades before the events of “Despicable Me”. As usual, destruction and gibberish-speaking will likely follow.
✪ “Moana” (July 10): Disney gives its beloved animated hit the live-action treatment, with newcomer Catherine Laga’aia starring as the adventurous Polynesian wayfinder. Dwayne Johnson is back as Maui, complete with magical tattoos, giant hook, and enough charisma to power an island.
✪ “The Odyssey” (July 17): Christopher Nolan tackles Homer’s legendary Greek epic in what promises to be one of the year’s biggest cinematic events. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o rounding out the massive cast.
✪ “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” (July 31): Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker in a world that no longer remembers who he is, following the events of “No Way Home”. As the young superhero continues protecting New York anonymously, a dangerous new threat forces him back into the spotlight.
