Was Ben Affleck ring shopping?  Ben was reportedly shopping at Tiffany’s in LA.  He was with his mom and one of his kids.  Was he really looking for a diamond for a second engagement to JLO?  Back in 2002 Ben paid Harry Winston $2.5 million for a ring that Jennifer supposedly still has… that’s not exactly something you find at Tiffany by dropping in at the mall.  My guess is he was shopping for either his mother or maybe buying something else for Jen… sorry to be a wet blanket. 
 
 
 
It looks like Kanye West and Drake are not done beefing.  The two rappers have been going back-and-forth at each other for years, and recently Drake seemed to call Kanye a “burnout” in a verse on a new song.  Kanye responded last night by putting Drake’s home address on Instagram, which he quickly deleted. But people got screen shots.  
 
 
 
 
Lil Nas X is a fast food employee again.  The rapper worked behind the counter at Taco Bell in Atlanta before making it big with “Old Town Road.”  Now the TB company has brought him full-circle and hired him on as Chief Impact Officer.  What’s that?  Well, as CEO of Taco Bell Mark King says, "Lil Nas X knows the job, the experience and the culture Taco Bell creates for its fans - including its people. This unique partnership will deliver on more than just marketing, allowing us to tap into the genius of Lil Nas X to inspire our team members and align with our commitment to unlocking opportunities for young people."
 
 
 
 
Eating certain foods are taking minutes off of your life.  A new study published by the University of Michigan School of Public Health says the some foods like sugary drinks, hotdogs, hamburgers, and breakfast sandwiches can take up to 80 minutes off your life by eating one serving.  A hotdog for example reportedly shaves off 36 minutes of your life.   Some good news - peanut butter and jelly sandwiches actually add 33 minutes, while things like baked salmon and rice with beans can add 10 to 15 minutes to your life.
 
By the way, world record eating champion Joey Chestnut has eaten a combined 1,094 hot dogs since his debut at the 2005. Using the findings of the study, that equates to 39,384 minutes off his life. That's 656.4 hours, or 27.35 days.
 
 
 
 
The milk crate challenge is…not advisable.   You stack plastic containers in a staircase-like formation and attempt to walk up and down without breaking bones…most fail.  This girl did it in heels!
