#Adele
o She recently bought Sylvester Stallone’s home for $58 million.
o And it came with an interesting perk: A Rocky statue standing on the edge of the massive swimming pool.
o Yes, Stallone had a poolside Rocky statue, and now Adele has a poolside Rocky statue because it's still there.
o That doesn't necessarily mean she's keeping it, though.
o In addition to the statue, the house also has a gym, sauna, steam room, infinity pool, cigar room, screening room, bar, art studio, and two-story guest house.
o It's in a gated community with neighbors including Denzel Washington, Magic Johnson, Justin Bieber, and Lisa Vanderpump.
o Word is the singer is close to finalizing a deal to bring her Vegas residency to a new home at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
o Word is the aim is for a late summer start that will run through the end of 2022.
#FridayThe13th
o It’s Friday the 13th and it’s the only one we will have this year…the next one isn’t until January.
o So, do you think it matters, or is it just another day? A new poll found one in five people DO think it's unlucky.
o The poll also found some of the other things we consider unlucky:
§ Walking under a ladder? 21% of us think it causes bad luck.
§ Stepping on a crack? 12%.
§ Breaking a mirror? 21% think it's unlucky.
§ Being on the 13th floor of a building? Ironically, 13% think it's unlucky.
§ White lighters? 8% think they're unlucky. (There's a myth that Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain had white lighters on them when they died.)
#ShakeShack
o The best part of SMELLING a burger and fries is . . . that you're about to EAT a burger and fries. Is the smell still just as great if you're NOT?
o Shake Shack has teamed up with a fragrance company called Apotheke to create burger and fries CANDLES.
o The burger one smells like "a bite of a ShackBurger in the spring air," and the other, Shake & Fries, includes "notes of a salty, crispy crinkle-cut fry and a creamy, indulgent milkshake."
o They're available as a set for $42, at ApothekeCo.com. Jump on it now if you're interested. They're only available for a limited time while supplies last.
