Someone took Taylor Swift's new song Cardigan and mixed it together with Harry Styles' song Falling and it was meant to be!  How does this fit so perfectly together?!

A guy named Remy is an engineer for Tesla, but he also works as an engineer for Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco.  Remy has created what he says is THE perfect chocolate chip!  What makes it so perfect?  Well, using his industrial design and engineering knowledge he came up with a brand new shape that causes it to not only melt smoother, but taste better. 

The shape affects the flavor?!  It kinda looks like a pyramid, but they are saying it is definitely tastes better than a normal chocolate chip and it better be because a pound of them costs $30!!

Alfonso Ribeiro is not happy that they fired Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews from DWTS.  Alfonso won season 19!  He said that he didn’t think a change was needed on the show and went on to say that Tom & Erin were the backbone of the show and rather than fire them ABC should have just made a new show and cancelled the original before just chopping it all up.  He also said that he would have not have accepted the job if it had been offered to him.

A woman was visiting a zoo in Brainerd, MN when her wallet somehow dropped into the alligator pit.  It gets crazier!  She went in after the wallet and her son followed her into the enclosure to help!!   Thank goodness that everyone got out unharmed, but the zoo is not happy about this.  They are in the process of identifying the woman and want to press charges against her for child endangerment.

Does your iPhone get slower and slower the more you have it?  Well, Apple has admitted that back in 2017 they did that to you on purpose.  Intially they said it was to try and improve battery life, but it was actually to push you to upgrade your device.  Someone sued them and they won!  Now, Apple has to pay out $500 million.  That means you could get approx. $25 dollars if you owned a iPhone 6, 6 Plus, SE or iPhone 7 or 7 plus before December 2017.   Grab your phone’s serieal number and head to SmartPhonePerformanceSettlement.com to claim your piece of the payout!

Shia LaBeouf is getting ready for his latest movie role in a serious (permanent) way!  He is playing a guy named, Creeper, in a new movie called The Tax Collector.

Creeper is a heavily tatted up guy so Shia went all in!  He got a tattoo on his entire torso for the one time movie role, but that tattoo is 100% real!!  Although this may seem a little crazy at least he went back to the neighborhood he grew up  in to get the tat and show support to the community.

A couple of weeks ago the Dari Fair in Mishawaka shared a video of their Turtle Ice Cream cone on their social media.   Little did they know that it was about to blow up in a major way.  The video has so far been viewed more than 15 million times!!!! 

So... you know I couldn't miss out!  I had to make a trip to Dari Fair and I was NOT disappointed!   Love the owner, Dawn, she has such a fun personality and truly deserves the recognition she is receiving.  She has put so much hard work into the Dari Fair.  I can't wait to go back for more!!

Ugh!  This may be the saddest thing I have ever heard!  Glee actress Naya Rivera is missing and authorities think she may have drowned.  Yesterday, she rented a boat to head out on a California lake.  Her 4-year-old son was found a few hours later floating alone in the boat.  He told police that is mom jumped in the water, but never came back.  Authorities sent out dive teams and helicopters, but had to call the search off when it got dark.  They will begin searching again this morning.

Attempting to reach @VENTURASHERIFF to confirm reports that the missing woman in this Lake Piru case is @NayaRivera

Update to come.

Too soon?  Hershey's just announced that they have some new candy coming this Halloween!  You better believe we will be loading up on all 4 of these.   There's a green Frankenstein Reese's Peanut Butter Cups where the bottom half of the peanut butter cup has been turned green (eeek)!  Also coming, are Vampire Kisses complete with a strawberry filling, Witch's Brew Kit Kats that taste like marshmallow (yum)!  The Fangs Cookies & Creme bars are the most fun though because you can bite around the fang outline and bam... new pair of fangs to rock! 

Side note... Are we even going to be trick-or-treating this year or no because of COVID-19?
