Jeff Goldblum takes break from psycho-analyzing dinosaurs to record jazz album

FilmMagicJeff Goldblum—human insect, alien playboy, and therapist to the dinosaur stars—is taking a break from his usual silver-tongued rat-a-tat for a slightly different brand of silver-tongue rat-a-tat. Apparently an accomplished jazz pianist (as well as the brains behind humanity's 1996 salvation), Goldblum will release his very first album via Decca Records this fall…assuming he survives the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom press tour, of course.
Goldblum allegedly caught the attention of Decca for the above performance—accompanying Gregory Porter for a performance of Nat King Cole's “Mona Lisa” on The Graham Norton Show last year—flashing lovely phrasing, delicate dynamics, and a solid understanding of jazz improvisation (in addition to that trademark charisma you know and crave). In a scene seemingly plucked from a very-meta Jeff Goldblum script, record execs immediately flew out to LA to ink the deal with Jeff Goldblum.

Bill Belichick visits Chick-Fil-A drive-thru, clearly isn’t on the TB12 diet

If we were to take bets on Bill Belichick's fast-food cheat-meal of choice, Arby's would have been our clear 3/2 favorite, followed closely by Wendy's and Dairy Queen at 5/1, and then Dunkin' Donuts/wherever sells fresh human souls at 12/1. On Wednesday afternoon, however, Belichick showed his true colors (and broke a few gambling addicts' hearts), when he rolled up to a undisclosed Chick-Fil-A drive-thru for a little post-OTA splurge.

So what can we learn from Belichick's now semi-viral late lunch? One, he's an actual human being, and not a Sith Lord in disguise as we've long suspected. Two, he prefers Mr. Pibb to Dr. Pepper. Three, Bill is definitely not about that TB12 offseason conditioning program. In fact, if ESPN is to be believed, Belichick probably hates chicken, but went to Chick-Fil-A just so he could consume its deep-fried contents fr..

Jason Dufner’s cool hats this week are supporting an important Ohio (sports) cause

The bad news is that Jason Dufner is no longer a hat free agent. The good news is the lids he's being paid to rock this week are supporting an important Ohio (sports) cause. They're also pretty cool.

Ahead of the PGA Tour's annual stop in the Columbus area for the Memorial Tournament, Dufner, an Ohio native, partnered with MSF Capital and will wear hats that say “Save The Crew.” The slogan refers to Columbus' MLS franchise, which is currently in a legal battle regarding relocating to Austin.
“I got a sponsorship this week for a hat. We decided to come up with some Columbus and Ohio-themed deals for this week. Just defending champion and being from Ohio and obviously, the Save The Crew is the MLS team here, they're kind of going through a thing with relocation and the owner is trying to take them to Austin,” Dufner said at his Tuesday press conference. “People here are really passionate about s..

The 11 work e-mail phrases that make you want to reach into your computer and punch someone

Caiaimage/Rafal RodzochWork emails are the worst e-mails, aside from bank-balance e-mails, and flash-sale e-mails, and Do You Still Want to Be on This Zoo Membership Mailing List e-mails, and forwards from your 77-year-old dad e-mails, and you know what, all e-mail is terrible, why do we still use this? I don’t remember the last e-mail I was happy to get, except the one about the “Appetite for Destruction” Deluxe Edition, I guess. Regardless, work e-mails occupy a special and significant place on the roster of Worst Garbage You Deal With Every Day, partly because they’re about your pointless and soul-chafing job but also because they contain an unusual percentage of phrases that do not need exist! Here are some of the worst offenders, which we just wanted to send on, because at the end of the day we feel like all of us deal with them. Hope all is well!
Sincerely yours,

YORK, Pa. (AP) A man who called police on a group of black women golfers accused of playing too slowly at a Pennsylvania golf club denied to dispatchers that he was acting out of racism.

Grandview Golf Club in York issued an apology following the April 21 incident. The women were club members and have described the experience, which began at the second hole, as demeaning and discriminatory.

In one of two recordings of calls to police posted by the York Daily Record, the caller says the group was ”holding everybody up” and one of the women accused the golf club of racism. He said no weapons were involved ”other than her mouth.”

The caller told a dispatcher, ”We have a tough situation here with a group of golfers that decides they don’t want to abide by the rules.”

Saying one woman in the group had accused the club of racism, he said ”We’re not being racist. We’re being golf course management that has to have play moving a certain way.”

No charges were f..
