Celebrity owned liquors seems to be the thing right now. I found way too many of them when I took the time to look, thinking there would just be a few. Here are some of those. Yes, I left some people off the list. If you’re already bored, then read ahead to the restaurant that closed because they were serving cats… But you’ll miss so many tequilas and more.

There were more, believe it or not, but my real thoughts on this subject would be…let’s all just plant blue agave in our backyards because there can’t possibly be enough plants already growing in Mexico to support these famous people and their tequila habits. Just saying.
A restaurant in Vietnam that drowned as many as 300 cats a month to feed their diners specialty cat meat soup, has closed. The owner of the restaurant apologized for slaughtering cats that he knew were pets, but he didn’t have a choice because he needed the money to support his family. The owner was given a one-time grant from Humane Society International in exchange for closing his restaurant.
The lower Mississippi river is within inches of record low water levels, putting grain exports at risk just as grain export season begins. Rudy Giuliani declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy after he was ordered to pay $148 million in the 2020 false election claims case. Awww. Police arrested 3 men in Florida who stole hundreds of gallons of used cooking oil worth $27,000. They used a large box truck outfitted with a pump, backed the truck, pulled out a hose and pumped the used cooking oil, and are believed to be part of a larger organization responsible for more thefts. Used cooking oil is refined and sold, then used as fuel.
Sport fans are trying to get Ted Cruz banned from ANY games in Texas in the future, saying the senator is a jinx, and anytime he’s in the crowd, his team loses. Poor Longhorns. Construction is beginning on a Margaritaville resort hotel near Galveston’s East Beach. It will include a 314-room tower, several restaurants, bars, pools, family-friendly water parks and more. 32% of Americans do not floss. NASA’s Voyager 1 is glitching and sending nonsense from interstellar space.
Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one. – Brad Paisley
ESPN apologized for showing a woman baring her breast during the broadcast of the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. It was shown during a short clip of people wandering on Bourbon Street. You know, just another day on Bourbon Street pulling down your shirt to flash your breast. How would ESPN know she was going to do that?!? Bet her mom is proud.
Recently, an Arkansas man found a 4.87 carat diamond in Crater of Diamonds State Park. The diamond, which the owner has named Evans Diamond since his last name is Evans, is about the size of a jellybean and is shaped like a pyramid. Since the Crater of Diamonds became an Arkansas state park in 1972, more than 35,000 diamonds have been discovered. I wouldn’t mind wearing a jellybean on my finger.
What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what YOU bring to the new year. Vern McLellan
We all remember the Met Gala when Kim Kardashian wore the gown worn by Marilyn Monroe when she sang Happy Birthday to JFK. How the heck did that happen! The value of that gown was $4.81 million. This year Kim wore a custom Shiaparelli Haute Couture dress (words for real fancy) with 50,000 freshwater pearls (lots of oysters), and 16,000 crystal pearls that took more than 1,000 hours to complete… that’s a lot of hours. I couldn’t find a value on it. Her 10-year-old daughter, North West, said, “I like the pearls. I just don’t like that it looks, like, from the dollar store.” Out of the mouths of babes. Some of the pearls broke in the car on the way to the gala, then her shoes – thin stiletto heels with pearl-lined straps caught on the dress as she left the Gala. That’s why I wear flats… I just don’t want to leave pearls all over town.
Warning: “If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area. Serious injury may occur.” A Michigan woman was rescued after she got stuck in a public outhouse trying to retrieve her Apple Watch. Yes, she was able to retrieve the watch before they removed the toilet seat, then making a strap to hoist her out. No injuries.
A YEAR from now you will wish you had started TODAY.
