Well… it’s official. President Biden IS running for a second term in 2024… and Kamala Harris will be his running mate. He made the announcement despite 70% of AMERICANS saying they don’t want the 80 year old to run.

The media world was in meltdown mode yesterday as Fox News parted ways with ratings Powerhouse Tucker Carlson and CNN fired controversial anchor Don Lemon.

- Even critics think Tucker - who is 53 - will “land on his feet”… but aren’t so sure about Lemon. Don is 57… I’d say that’s “Past his Prime” as far as tv anchors go… Sound familiar, Don?????

- Media insiders say Tucker will likely end up with a highly successful podcast or going to another network… while Don Lemon has already been approached to join next season’s cast of “The Real Housewives of New York City”.

The Belgian Government crushed 2,352 cans of Miller High Life beer last week… after taking exception to its slogan that it was “The Champagne of Beers”. The move came after the Champagne industry complained that the term should be used only on “bottles of sparkling wine made in Champagne, France”.

After years of struggling to stay in business, Bed Bath & Beyond declared bankruptcy on Sunday. The retailer will close all of its remaining locations by June 30th and will only accept their famous “20% Off” coupons through TODAY… Tuesday, 4/25.

- Is it just me or do you think if maybe they just hadn’t spent all that money on paper and ink for the coupons… maybe they could have stayed in business??

Alec Baldwin has officially returned to the set of the film “Rust”… just days after the involuntary manslaughter charges against him were dropped.

- Finally! Alec is back where he belongs… Shooting movies!!

Police in Austin, Texas arrested 8 men and charged them with the illegal sale of nitrous oxide after they were found in an abandoned home with 13 tanks of laughing gas and hundreds of balloons.

- It was either a Clown Convention or a Dentist’s Retirement Party.
