#MichelleBranch
o Michelle Branch was arrested for misdemeanor domestic assault in Nashville.
o She alleged slapped her husband and The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, in the face ...
this in the wake of her claim he cheated on her.
o Police were called last Thursday at around 2 AM for a possible domestic disturbance and Michelle admitted she had slapped Patrick in the face "one to two times," according to court documents.
o Patrick did not have any visible injuries and Michelle was taken into custody.
o Her bail was set at $1,000 but it appears she was released from custody early because she's breastfeeding the couple's 6-month-old.
o The couple are splitting after 3 years of marriage.
o She posted last week, "To say that I am totally devastated doesn't even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family. The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward. With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness."
o The split announcement came just hours after Michelle tweeted accusing Carney of cheating.
#Doritos
o Will you try either of these?
o You can now get ketchup and mustard-flavored Doritos.
o Canada has had the ketchup version for years, as that is a very popular flavor of chip there.
o But this is the first time they’ve been available in the U.S.
o The mustard version is brand new and it’s more of a spicy mustard flavor, as they’re supposed to taste like Chinese hot mustard, not Dijon.
o They’re only doing a test run for now so they’re not available in stores yet but you can get them online at Snacks.com.
o If they sell well and people like them, they’ll eventually do a nationwide rollout.
