Production is now underway in London.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has responded to claims that he filled a service trench instead of a pothole. Last week, he went viral, tweeting video of himself filling in a hole that had been plaguing his Brentwood neighborhood. Things seemed fine until Southern California Gas Company released a statement, saying the “pothole” was a utility trench for “active, permitted work” at the location. This didn’t sit well with Schwarzenegger, who responded with another tweet, writing: “So everyone knows, the pipeline work was finished in January. Apparently, they thought it was a good plan to take 6 months to cover the trench, so I just did them a favor…And why don’t they talk about the second pothole I filled?” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/229erhup

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

This may not come as a surprise to you at all, but how you’re dressed when you go out for dinner may influence the level of service you get at a restaurant. Scientists at the University of Missouri concluded that restaurant wait staff often predict whether or not their guests will leave big tips simply based on their attire – naturally believing that the best-dressed diners will leave the best tips. And using that theory, servers tend to ramp up their hospitality for those customers. It was also discovered that servers viewed well-dressed men as more likely to leave good tips than their female counterparts. Casually-dressed men were seen as the least likely of any group to leave good tips for the server.

Is this what they mean by “royalties”? King Charles has reportedly amassed a personal net worth of £600 million – equivalent to around $745 million US dollars, according to a new analysis for the Sunday Times Rich List. His alleged net worth surpasses that of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September at the age of 96. Last year, the Sunday Times calculated her net worth to be £370 million – about $460 million USD. There are many factors that go into calculating the King’s fortune – including the 2 private royal estates known as the duchies, Sandringham Estate and Balmoral Castle.
