April 27 – May 1 – Abby & Bill have tickets to see Water for Elephants on opening night, May 5!
It started as a social media stunt, and ended in two arrests.
Apparently these two teenagers thought it would be a good idea
to go for a joyride INSIDE a Florida Target…..on a lawnmower.
Janek nailed the attire….wearing denim overalls and a straw
hat…but he also nailed the door on his way in…shattering it. The
18 yr old took a turn around the store, made his way out, and
then was arrested, along with his friend Luke. Both have been
charged with criminal mischief and instead of riding the
lawnmower, he rode to jail in the back of a police car.
Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson who are both
returning to American Idol. Paula will be a guest judge and both will mentor contestants on the May 4 th episode.It took 3000 eggs, 50,000 Ladyfinger biscuits and 100 chefs, to create the World’s longest Tiramisu. This massive dessert stretched 1,445 feet….beating the old record by 500 ft.
Then we have a 96-year-old gardener who gets a little help from her 150-pound Newfoundland. Barbara points to the ground and Chewy digs the holes for her. 11 million people have watched it on Tik Tok. You should see the picture…the dog looks bigger than she is!
And there was a flight from Atlanta to Portland recently that took off with 153 people and landed with 154. Yep, one of the passengers gave birth midflight. Luckily there was a doctor and 2 nurses on board. Both mom and baby are doing great.
