This #MovieStarMonday we visit with Ione Skye about he new book “Say Everything” which is a NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!! Gen X icon Ione Skye bares all in an achingly vulnerable coming-of-age memoir about chasing fame, desire, and true love in the shadow of her famous, absent father.
In 1987, sixteen-year-old Ione Skye landed the breakout role of Diane Court, the dream girl who inspires John Cusack’s iconic boombox serenade in the hit Cameron Crowe film, Say Anything. While Skye seemed perfectly typecast as an aloof valedictorian, she was anything but.
Deserted by her dad, the folk singer legend Donovan, Skye was a ninth-grade dropout who sought solace and validation in the eyes of audiences and dreamy costars like Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, John Cusack, and Robert Downey Jr. But like her sixties It Girl mom, Skye’s greatest weakness was musicians.

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Go ahead…admit it: When it comes to filling out a job application, at some point, you’ve either s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d the truth a bit – or outright lied. If so, you’ve got that in common with 25% of job applicants, according to a new survey. Career services platform career.io found that nearly half of Gen Z admitted to falsifying some part of their job applications in an effort at getting hired. That was followed by 39% of millennials, 20.4% of Gen Xers, and 9.4% of baby boomers. 23% of Gen Z said they lied in areas such as “work experience”, 28% lied about job responsibilities, and 18% were dishonest about their job title. According to Certified Professional Career Coach Amanda Augustine, the main reason that people include falsehoods on their applications is that young job seekers with limited experience are desperate to make a good first impression and get their foot in the door.

Sarah Michelle Gellar gave an update about the casting process for the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot in a recent interview, revealing that some familiar last names — but not first names — have showed up to audition.

There is an app that allows drivers to turn their phone into a breathalyzer.
Yes, hitting that snooze button can be very tempting – especially on a Monday morning. But here’s why you should resist – and also resist sleeping in on your day off, according to experts. Sleeping in when you feel tired can actually leave you feeling groggier. How? Well, your body loves routine—and oversleeping throws off your natural rhythm, leading to what some call a “sleep hangover”. Instead of hitting snooze, try these quick, expert-backed tips to feel more energized: Drink a glass of water when you wake up—hydration can fight off that sluggish, dehydrated feeling. Move your body, even if it’s just a walk or light stretch — exercise boosts energy and mood. Make breakfast something you look forward to — it gives your body the fuel it needs and makes getting up more rewarding. Step outside for some sunlight to help reset your internal clock. And finally, take a mindful moment—meditation or journaling can improve your mental clarity and sleep quality. Those small changes can help you feel more awake now—and sleep better later. Your future self (and your sleep cycle) will thank you.

The Carolina Foothills Resort is stripping away convention — literally — as it gears up for its record-breaking Buck Creek Streak 5K on June 14. A jaw-dropping 161 participants have already signed up for the “clothing-optional” run at the South Carolina nudist resort. Why would someone want to participate in a 5K run naked? As board member Tom Crowder puts it: “You can run a 5K anywhere. But you can’t run one naked just anywhere — unless you’re looking to get arrested at your local turkey trot!” This year, racers can opt for an extra cheeky challenge: a 7.3K “go the extra mile” tribute to race founder Mike Ward. Newcomers must pass a background check and register by June 13, while veterans can sign up day-of. Registration comes with lunch and a day pass to explore the bare-it-all grounds. Crowder said everyone has fun at the annual event, pointing out that “If it wasn’t a blast, we wouldn’t have this many people eager to let it all hang out.”
