Scarlett Johansson, Opens Up About Marriage Split, Says It’s “Not Natural” to Be Monogamous

Scarlett Johansson doesn’t think it’s ‘natural’ to be monogamous.

The 32-year-old actress shared her thoughts on marriage as she confirmed reports that she has split from her second husband, Romain Dauriac, with whom she has a two-year-old daughter Rose.

She told the new issue of Playboy, “I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it’s a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing. I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person.”

She says, “I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work. And the fact that it is such work for so many people—for everyone—the fact of that proves that it is not a natural thing… It’s something I have a lot of respect for and have participated in, but I think it definitely goes against some instinct to look beyond.”
Scarlett was previously married to “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds, who is married to Blake Lively.

 

The Purpose of Sleep? To Forget

Sleep is used to cut down on memories, scientists now say. 

Throughout the day, neurons in the brain grow connections to store what we have learned.

But researchers found that during sleep, the neurons get rid of some of their connections with about one-third staying as they were.

They say this is a way the brain regulates itself to focus on what is important to retain.

Movie theaters are now serving alcohol to help boost profits during a time of failing attendance including special themed drinks based on specific movies.

During the past two years, 32 states have relaxed their liquor laws to allow theaters to serve alcohol in any auditorium instead of only designated areas.

New York is currently a dry state mostly because of lobbying by Broadway theaters which are allowed to serve alcohol, but the governor is trying open the alcohol market to movie theaters soon.

Daycare Blasts Parents: ‘Get Off Your Phone!’

Employees at a Houston, Texas, daycare want parents to get off their phones and pay attention to their kids, so they posted a sign.

The sign read: “You are picking up your child! GET OFF YOUR PHONE!!!! Your child is happy to see you! Are you not happy to see your child?? We have seen children trying to hand their parents their work they completed and the parent is on the phone. We have heard a child say ‘Mommy, mommy, mommy…” and the parent is paying more attention to their phone than their own child. It is appalling. Get off your phone!!’

A parent took a photo of the sign and posted it on social media. It has gone viral.

One parent wasn’t happy about the sign and said: ‘Could it be that you’re self employed, dealing with clients, sorting out problems???? But no I’ll put down the phone, lose clients and the bills won’t get paid!!!!! You can look at the kids work when you get home!!!! Jeez some people are a special kind of stupid!!!!!’

Others took issue with the way the message was relayed, with some calling it rude.

America’s bacon reserves are at a 50-year low.

The issue is that the demand for frozen pork belly which is often used to make bacon is outpacing the supply.

And this has led to the price of bacon going up 20%.
