SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new study suggests technologically advanced societies typically survive only about 5,000 years before disaster strikes. The research, led by physicists at Iran’s Sharif University of Technology, examines the long-standing Fermi Paradox – the mystery of why humanity hasn’t detected alien civilizations. Their analysis argues that if intelligent life is common, most civilizations must burn out relatively quickly. Possible culprits include asteroid impacts, climate shifts, nuclear war, pandemics and runaway AI. The findings suggest the silence in the cosmos may simply mean advanced societies rarely survive long enough to contact one another.

Jeff Daniels is headed to “The Morning Show”. He’ll be joining the show’s cast in its 5th season, Apple TV has announced. Though he’s headed back to a series about a news show, Daniels is set to play a non-journalist character in ‘Lukas’, the billionaire founder of an investment company. The 2-time Emmy winner joins the all-star cast of Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass and Jon Hamm.
Drew has some news: “The Drew Barrymore Show” has been renewed for 2 seasons, keeping it on the air through 2028. The news that the show will continue for its 7th and 8th seasons comes during a challenging time for daily talk shows: In late night, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” will end in May; in daytime, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and “Sherri” will be wrapping their runs by the end of the year. The Drew Barrymore Show joins “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in recently securing a renewal in daytime.

OF THE DAY
A new experimental pill may one day mimic the effects of the keto diet – with no need to give up the carbs. The keto diet pushes the body into ketosis so it burns fat instead of carbohydrates, often causing quick early weight loss. Now, researchers at Bloom Science are testing a capsule called BL-001, made from beneficial gut bacteria. Trials found some participants lost weight after taking it for several weeks. The drug is still in early testing, but scientists hope it could one day offer keto-like benefits in pill form — no strict diet required.
A fresh batch of emojis is heading to iPhones this spring with the upcoming iOS 26.4 update – and one of them is already stirring up controversy. Eight new emojis approved by the Unicode Consortium in 2025 will soon appear across devices: ballet dancers, a fight cloud, a landslide, an orca, a trombone, a treasure chest, a hairy creature…and a “distorted face.” That warped yellow face has sparked online chatter because it resembles imagery from a widely criticized 2024 ad by Apple that showed creative tools being crushed. Some commenters online are thinking that maybe that new emoji is a tongue-in-cheek nod to that misstep. The new icons are already available to testers in the Apple Beta Software Program, and should roll out widely this spring, eventually hitting all devices. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/6hw9nkwv

WEIRD NEWS
Two teenagers in New Zealand accidentally donated more than they intended to a charity shop – including drugs and cash. Police say the pair, both 16 years old, left a backpack outside a thrift store while waiting for their vehicle to be serviced. A volunteer brought the bag inside, assuming it was a donation, but quickly noticed a strong smell. Inside were several bags of cannabis weighing about 43 grams…and NZ$3,700 in cash. The teens later returned looking for the backpack, but police were called. Officers also searched their vehicle and found an air pistol, a police scanner and more cash. Recreational cannabis remains illegal in New Zealand.

THE LIST
UNLIKELY EXCUSES:
Last week, the story surfaced that UK singer Morrissey canceled a concert in Spain because he didn't get enough sleep. The ex-Smiths frontman, who is notorious for calling off gigs, said his latest no-show was due to the "indescribable hell" of a noisy hotel room in Valencia, which left him in a “catatonic state." And to put a cherry on top, he later updated fans, saying "It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement." Odd, yes. But it’s not the most out-there excuse for scrapping a show. Here are some more memorable examples…
✗ Neil Young and the ham sandwich: In 1997, he accidentally sliced the tip of his finger while making a ham sandwich. Doctors told him not to play guitar, forcing him to cancel 16 European tour dates, including a performance at Glastonbury Festival.
✗ Lionel Richie’s unlucky kiss: During a 2012 appearance on “The One Show”, he caught norovirus after greeting presenter Alex Jones with a kiss, forcing him to cancel 2 tour dates.
✗ Mötley Crüe and the “snow on the roof” excuse: A 1988 UK tour was cancelled, supposedly because snow made venue roofs unsafe. In reality, Nikki Sixx had nearly died from a drug overdose and needed time to recover.
✗ The Clash and the disappearing singer: In 1982, frontman Joe Strummer mysteriously vanished just before a UK tour. He apparently surfaced in Paris where he lived on the streets for a short time…and ran a marathon.
✗ Keith Richards falls from a tree: The Rolling Stones guitarist delayed their 2006 European tour after falling out of a coconut tree in Fiji. He suffered a brain injury that required surgery.
✗ Liam Gallagher goes house hunting: The Oasis singer skipped part of the band’s 1996 US tour after abruptly flying home to buy a house with his wife. His brother and bandmate Noel Gallagher later mocked the decision.
✗ Justin Bieber’s towel tantrum: In 2015, he walked off stage in Oslo after fans tried grabbing him and a towel he used to wipe water off the stage. The show was canceled after just one song.
✗ Kings of Leon attacked by pigeons: During a 2010 show in St. Louis, pigeons nesting above the stage began dropping waste onto the band. The show ended abruptly after one landed a direct hit…in bassist Jared Followill’s mouth.
✗ Iggy Azalea gets bored of her own songs: In 2015, the rapper cancelled her US tour due to a “creative change of heart”. She claimed she was tired of performing the same material and wanted to make new music instead.
✗ Sheku Kanneh-Mason’s cello trouble: The British cellist cancelled a 2024 Canadian performance after Air Canada refused to transport his £2-million cello, despite a seat being booked for it.
