Actress Anna Kendrick finally responded after a hockey player took his shot on Christmas, and basically all of hockey Twitter got behind him in support.<\/p>\n
But New York Islanders player Anthony Beauvillier sent a simple tweet out into the void.<\/p>\n
His tweet \u2014 “Hi @AnnaKendrick47” \u2014 began a storm of tweets at Kendrick, vouching for the 22-year-old Beauvillier’s character in hopes of catching the actress’s attention.<\/p>\n
“He dogsat for the ENTIRE ANIMAL SHELTER last week. A real one, for sure,” wrote one Twitter user.<\/p>\n
“Thanks for performing open heart surgery on me man,” wrote\u00a0another “I appreciate it.”<\/p>\n
“Hey man thanks for letting me use your gear during that fundraiser you held for the animal shelter to save the puppies,” wrote someone else.<\/p>\n
After days of radio silence, Kendrick, 34, finally chimed in, tweeting that the replies have “been my entertainment for the last two days.” Neither have publicly commented further.<\/p>\n

CNN is proposing a new idea this year, with feature’s editorial director David Allen suggesting that people try 12 “micro-resolutions” instead, one for each month, which you commit to for just four weeks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They can either be habits you want to to break, like eating too much fast food or spending too much time on your phone, or positive things that you want to start doing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Allen did micro-resolutions for the past two years, the first year choosing ones to break bad habits, and the second year choosing ones to add positive habits, things like meditating, spending time in nature, reading poetry, eating whole foods, and making gestures of gratitude to people.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He found committing for just one month easier to do, and even after the four weeks were over, there were some lasting effects, such as choosing healthier snacks, meditating most weekdays, and being a better listener.<\/p>\n \u00a0_________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2713 A New Year\u2019s Eve Ball\u201d was first dropped in New York\u2019s Times Square in 1907 due to a ban on fireworks.

Days of the month become generalized into either being closer to post-Christmas or pre-New Years Eve.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ritual of annual holidays forces us into mind-bending states of reflection and nostalgia, too, as we simultaneously feel closer to youth and more estranged from it than ever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ” Psychologists and neuroscientists agree on this, and say a similar thing happens when we go on vacation– when we lose sight of markers like the start of the workday, weekends, and bedtime, and couple that with new experiences, sights, and sounds– we get a warped perception of time.<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n We Wake Up in a Bad Mood 300 Days a Year?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n According to a new study, we wake up in a bad mood 300 DAYS a year.\u00a0 That’s basically five or six days out of every week and 82% of the year.\u00a0 And here’s why . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n That adds up to 5.76 nights a week . . . or 300 bad wake ups a year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The study also found we only get 91 nights of full, uninterrupted sleep per year . . . but even some of THOSE nights end with us waking up in a bad mood.<\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TUESDAY DECEMBER 31ST<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [82] Anthony Hopkins, actor<\/p>\n [76] Ben Kingsley, actor (\u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d, Oscar for \u201cGhandi)<\/p>\n [60] Val Kilmer, actor<\/p>\n [51] Gerry Dee, Scarborough ON, comedian (season 5 of \u201cLast Comic Standing\u201d)\/TV actor (\u201cMr. D\u201d 2012-18, host of \u201cFamily Feud Canada\u201d, 2019)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PIT 5 – OTT 2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THIS WEEK\u2019S NETFLIX (Canada) RELEASES:<\/u><\/strong> \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n SAM HUNT TO RING IN NEW YEAR ON ‘DICK CLARK’S ROCKIN’ EVE’ <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Sam Hunt\u00a0<\/strong>will ring in the new year with a performance on\u00a0Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest<\/em>\u00a0in New York City’s Times Square on Dec. 31st.<\/p>\n Kelsea Ballerini, Dan + Shay\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Blanco Brown<\/strong>\u00a0are part of the lineup announced for the Los Angeles broadcast of\u00a0Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve<\/em>, hosted by\u00a0Ciara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sam is expected to release a new album sometime in 2020.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n OLD DOMINION TO RING IN NEW YEAR IN HAWAII <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Old Dominion\u00a0bandmembers are looking forward to the new year, for more than one reason.
