Salma Hayek, 58, has proven age is just a number as she graces the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2025. The actress dazzles in a sparkling green bikini and Jacquie Aiche jewelry, posing wet and radiant in a pool, with the stunning photoshoot captured by Ruven Afanador in Mexico.

In an exclusive interview, Salma reflected on her journey, admitting she never imagined being featured in the iconic issue. “If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse,” she said.

She’s embracing her age, also shared her excitement about the changing perceptions of beauty, stating, “it’s exciting that a magazine like Sports Illustrated says it’s ok to be past 50 and still feel sexy.” She added that she’s not slowing down and is proud to be part of a movement that celebrates women of all ages. Salma’s message is clear: confidence and self-love are timeless, and it’s never too late to shine.

Words Americans Say They Have Difficulty Spelling

Feb 20, 2025 | Office, Show, Whacky | 0 comments

There are good spellers who are still haunted by a mistake from their sixth grade spelling bee. And then there are others, who still can’t figure out whether they should use: Y-O-U-R . . . Y-O-U-R-E . . . or U-R. (???)

Someone asked the internet: “What is the ONE word you can never spell correctly?” And the responses were . . . relatable. Here are a few:

1. Maintenance. “When I try to spell it out . . . my brain just short circuits.”
2. Diarrhea.”It’s always a big mess. My spelling, that is.”
3. Convenience. Someone said, “I wanted to say this too, but couldn’t spell it.”
4. Boutonnière. “And I’m a wedding photographer.”
5. Necessary. Remember: One C, Two Ss.
6. Occasionally. Remember: Two Cs. One S.
7. Accommodate. Remember: Two Cs. 8. Embarrass. Remember: Two Rs. Two Ss.
9. Receipt. Remember: “I” before “E,” except after “C.”
10. Seize. Remember: “I” before . . . wait a minute! (This must be an exception)
11. Conscientious. And also: Conscience.
12. Rhythm.
13. Restaurant.
14. Refrigerator. Mostly due to the disappearing “D” from ” fridge.”
15. Privilege.
16. Definitely.
17. Nauseous.
18. Alcohol. Even when sober.
19. Hemorrhoids.

On top of this madness, there are also the words that are technically correct in two forms . . . and yet, we agonize over them anyway.

Things like: Canceled vs. cancelled with TWO Ls . . . judgment vs. judgement with an E in the middle . . . and ax vs. axe with an E at the end.

Your Pet’s Microchip May Not Work Now

Feb 12, 2025 | Show, Sports, Television/Streaming | 0 comments

After a national pet microchip and registration company shut down, pet owners are being encouraged to reregister their pet’s microchip.

The Texas-based microchip and registration company Save This Life went inactive, according to Texas tax records. Calls to the phone number listed on its website lead to an out of service message. Pets listed on Save This Life’s pet registry were delisted from the American Animal Hospital Association’s national database.

The American Animal Hospital Association keeps a central database of all the chip numbers.  But pets registered through Save This Life aren’t in it anymore.

The good news is your pet’s microchip is fine.  You just have to re-register it through another company.  A few do it for free.  Others charge around $20.

Your vet might have your pet’s chip number on file, or they can scan it.  If you have it written down, you can check it yourself at AAHA.org.  All the bad chips start with one of these two numbers:  991 or 900164.

A pet microchip, about the size of a large grain of rice, uses passive radio-frequency identification (RFID). When lost pets are brought to shelters, a scanner can get the information on the microchip and allow the shelter workers to identify the pet owner.

Pet owners can check with their veterinarian, many of whom have scanners and records of the pet’s microchip.

While Save This Life has gone dark, the microchip would still work. That number can be registered in more than one database.

6 Things Parents Should Stop Expecting From Their Grown Children

Feb 10, 2025 | Show, Sports, Television/Streaming | 0 comments

Congrats, parents! You raised fully functioning adults. But if you’re still expecting them to follow your rulebook, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. Let’s be real—times change, people grow, and clinging to outdated expectations only pushes them away.
 
1. To live the same way as you
Just because you love a suburban lawn and 7 a.m. church doesn’t mean they do. They’re not your clones—let them live their lives.
 
2. To share your opinions
Times have changed. They aren’t interested in hearing how things were “better back in the day.” Respect their views, or get ready to be ignored.
 
3. To uphold family traditions without change
That annual Thanksgiving dinner at your house? Yeah, that might not be a thing forever. New traditions aren’t a betrayal—just life moving forward.
 
4. To always spend time with you
They have jobs, partners, and social lives. You don’t need to see them every holiday. Missing a dinner doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten you exist.
 
5. To express gratitude a certain way
You raised them out of love, not for payback. Stop expecting a standing ovation for doing what parents are supposed to do.
 
6. To take care of you as you age
Your kid isn’t your retirement plan. Get a financial advisor instead of assuming they’ll put their life on hold to be your personal nurse.
 
Final Thought
Want a close relationship? Ditch the guilt trips, drop the expectations, and enjoy them as adults—not extensions of yourself.

America is Betting a Record $1.39 Billion on the Super Bowl

Feb 7, 2025 | Show, Sports, Television/Streaming | 0 comments

Super Bowl LIX is shaping up to be the biggest legal betting event in U.S. history, with an estimated $1.39 billion in wagers expected at licensed sportsbooks.
 
The American Gaming Association (AGA) released its annual report, showing a steady rise in legal bets as more states embrace regulated gambling. Last year’s Super Bowl LVIII saw $1.25 billion in legal wagers, a number now set to be eclipsed.
 
AGA President Bill Miller emphasized the impact of legal sports betting, stating, “No single event unites sports fans like the Super Bowl, and this record handle underscores the growing appeal of legal sports betting while benefiting local communities through tax revenue.”
 
Unlike past reports that included illegal wagers, this year’s analysis focuses strictly on legal sportsbooks, using historical data and industry trends.
 
While only North Carolina has launched online sports betting since last year, Missouri—home of the Kansas City Chiefs—legalized sports betting in November 2024, but won’t go live until mid-2025.
 
Meanwhile, bettors had a big win in December 2024, as Nevada sportsbooks suffered a $5.3 million loss on football bets—their worst month since 2012.
 
With the Chiefs and Eagles set to clash, sportsbooks and bettors alike are gearing up for a record-breaking Super Bowl Sunday.
