When you are lucky enough to go on vacation, do you call your family and close friends? In a new survey, one in 4 claim they “always” keep in touch with loved ones when traveling (24%), one in 8 admit they “rarely” or “never” do – and just try to enjoy their time away. The poll of 2,000 Americans who have traveled abroad in the past 5 years also found that more than half (58%) said they require “recovery time” when they arrive at their destination. And the average person spends 4 days in “recovery mode” after the trip ends. And what might these people be recovering from? Nearly a quarter of those surveyed have at least 3 “panic” moments while traveling internationally. The most common moments of panic include issues with their flight being canceled or missed, losing their luggage, or not being able to understand or speak the language of the country they’re visiting.

Kraft
has a new style of its classic pasta in a box on the way…but you
can’t honestly call it “Mac & Cheese”. For the first time
ever, the household staple is going plant-based. The new version of
the boxed favorite, which is labelled “Plant-based Mac &
Cheese”, with a sub label reading: “Not Cheese”, contains a
dairy-free alternative to its signature cheese. Also known as “Kraft
NotMac&Cheese”, it will soon roll out on grocery store shelves
in 2 flavors — original and white cheddar with shells — each
priced at $3.49 per box. Oh, and by the way those flavors are
actually labelled ‘cheese’ and ‘white cheddar’ “STYLE”,
because…you know…no cheese!

“Barbie” will soon be available to stream on Max from your own Dreamhouse. Max announced that Greta Gerwig’s sparkly pink fantasy comedy will hit the streamer on Dec. 15. Earning over $1.4 billion at the global box office, Barbie is not only the highest grossing film of 2023 — but the highest grossing Warner Bros. movie in history. It follows Margot Robbie’s ‘Barbie’, who is joined by Ryan Gosling’s ‘Ken’, on her adventure outside of Barbieland. Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, America Ferrera, Michael Cera and Issa Rae round out the cast.
Kim Kardashian is set to star in an upcoming legal drama from Ryan Murphy, on Hulu. This continues the duo’s professional relationship. Recently, Kardashian starred in the 12th season of “American Horror Story” as a high-powered publicist for a movie star who’s on the rise. In the new show, she’ll play a divorce lawyer who’s the head of a successful all-female law firm in Los Angeles. Her current reality show “The Kardashians” also airs on Hulu. No word yet on a title for the new show.
Jason Priestley has boarded upcoming CBC drama “Wild Cards”. The Canadian network said the “Beverley Hills” star will play lead character ‘Max’s’ father and master conman ‘George’ in the “procedural with a comic twist” launching January 10. Set in Vancouver, Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of ‘Ellis’ (Giacomo Gianniotti), a gruff, sardonic cop and ‘Max’ (Vanessa Morgan), a spirited, clever con woman. It has also been picked up by The CW in the US.

Charlie Jeffers has been playing with LEGO since he was 4, and says it helped him learn math and engineering concepts, and how to be focused, flexible, and creative. When it occurred to him that many kids don’t have access to LEGO, in 2020, the high school senior in Marin County, California launched Pass the Bricks. He and his volunteer-based team repurpose used LEGO bricks into new original sets for kids in marginalized communities. To date, the organization has delivered over 3,000 sets to kids in need. Some of the newly-created sets are quite innovative, like the “Superman Would Like Just One Day Off” set, featuring a grumpy Clark Kent in bed with his suit hanging nearby, and the “Droid Escape Pod,” which is a faithful representation of the spacecraft used by R2-D2 in “Star Wars”. With over 20 volunteers, Jeffers’ initiative has expanded to other cities, and delivered LEGO sets as far away as Ecuador. LINK: https://www.passthebricks.org/
