There was a story this week about a guy who found an $90 electric toothbrush that he thought was mislabeled at Target near Boston, so it looked like it only cost one cent.\u00a0 An employee named Tori Perrotti refused to sell it to him for a penny.\u00a0 So he called Police, threatened to sue, and posted an unflattering photo of her online.\u00a0 But the internet took\u00a0her side, and someone\u00a0started\u00a0a GoFundMe campaign to send her on vacation.\u00a0 They’re using the hashtag “TargetTori.”\u00a0 Last we checked, the GoFundMe was up over $30,000, but she says she’s giving a lot of it to charity.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Philadelphia Flyers got a lot of attention a few years ago when they created their new mascot, GRITTY.\u00a0 Well . . . according to the Philadelphia police, Gritty is now under investigation for assault.\u00a0 Seriously\u2026. Back in November, Gritty was doing a photoshoot with fans.\u00a0 And one 13-year-old kid hit Gritty on the head after a photo . . . the kid’s dad says the kid, quote, “playfully patted” Gritty. But apparently that infuriated him, and Gritty allegedly got up and PUNCHED the kid in the back. The Flyers say they investigated, the person in the Gritty costume denied everything, and no witnesses backed up the story, so they dropped it.\u00a0 But the police aren’t so sure . . . so they’re still investigating.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Will Smith is the latest celebrity to do the Lyft driver switcheroo.\u00a0 Riders in Miami thought they were supposed to check out a car with new Lyft technology, but then\u00a0Will\u00a0pulled up, in a brand new Porcshe that was featured in his new movie “Bad Boys for Life”.\u00a0 Here he is with three very surprised passengers.<\/p>\n _________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patrick Stewart went on “The View” yesterday to formally invite\u00a0Whoopi Goldberg to appear on Season 2 of STAR TREK : PICARD” as her alien character Guinan.\u00a0“Picard” premieres today on CBS ALL ACCESS, and it’s already been renewed for a second season.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPie Day\u201d, celebrating the pie as an \u2018art form\u2019.\u00a0 There are said to be 231 varieties of apple pie<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2019 [01] Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin closes a deal to buy the most expensive home ever sold in the U.S., paying $238 million for a New York penthouse overlooking Central Park<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1998 The Spice Girls\u2019 movie \u201cSpice World\u201d hits theaters in North America.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n JANUARY 23RD<\/sup>, <\/strong>1996,\u00a0GARTH BROOKS<\/strong>\u00a0was a triple winner at the 23rd annual American Music Awards hosted.
