\u27a2 There\u2019s one old saying you can throw out the window. Money CAN buy you happiness, according to a new study. It found that financial success has been increasingly linked to happiness over the past few decades. The researchers concluded that the \u201chappiness is more strongly related to income now than it was in the 1970s and 1980s\u201d, so yes, \u201cMoney buys more happiness now than in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Rumor has it that Jude Law is heading to Neverland to take on the Lost Boys. He\u2019s currently in talks to play \u2018Captain Hook\u2019 in Disney\u2019s live-action remake of Peter Pan. \u201cPeter Pan & Wendy\u201d will be based on Disney\u2019s 1953 animated movie, which follows a group of siblings as they team up with a magical boy, who brings them to Neverland. The film has inspired adaptations and sequels for the big screen several times\u2014including \u201cHook\u201d in 1991 and \u201cPan\u201d in 2015. However, this is the first time that Disney is putting a live-action twist on the story.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 \u201cDirty Dancing\u201d fans, prepare to have the time of your life all over again. For years, visitors to the Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke, VA, where the 1980s classic was filmed, were greeted with a dry bed where Mountain Lake used to be. That\u2019s the body of water where Patrick Swayze\u2019s \u2018Johnny Castle\u2019 character hoisted his new dance partner \u2018Baby\u2019 (played by Jennifer Grey) in the air as they prepared to wow the crowd at the talent show at the film\u2019s fictional Catskills resort. Twelve years after the water receded, Mountain Lake is suddenly filled again. Researchers say the lake exists on a natural cycle of rising and receding waters thanks to a one-of-a-kind system of small holes that routinely drain it.<\/p>\n
