Will Smith’s kids write their own novels and music because other people’s work is just not up to their standards. The New York Post has a breakdown of a Time magazine article HERE. -Lou
First Look at Spider-Man… Again.
Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield and now Tom Holland is pulling up his tights as Spider-Man. Third time’s the charm, right? We get our first look at the new, new, new Spidey in the latest trailer for Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War.” It’s out May, 6th. Don’t worry. They have stand-alone Spider-Man movies planned too, so we will again see how he is bitten by a spider, pines over a girl and becomes a superhero.

(from redeyechicago.com)
Despite the demise of the “[bleep] Trump”-graffitied billboard Tuesday, Chicagoans continue to come up with creative ways to welcome Donald Trump to the city for his Friday rally at UIC Pavilion. The Wiener’s Circle (2622 N. Clark St.) is getting in on the dogging, if you will, with a very special weekend offer: the Trump Art of the Meal deal including the “Trump footlong,” a 3-inch hotdog, according to Wiener’s Circle creative director Brendan Kelly.(READ MORE HERE) Another reason we love this city so much!! – @marconibologna

Chicago cats you should follow on Instagram immediately
(from redeyechicago.com)
It’s a universal truth that cute cats make everything better. Including your Instagram feed. If you’re in the market for some adorable kitties to break up the usual flood of food and vacation photos, we found some insanely charming Chicago felines to spruce up your feed. (READ MORE HERE)

New CTA Rail Cars Are Coming!! Still No Pizza Bar
(from chicagotribune.com)
The Chicago Transit Authority board voted Wednesday to approve a $1.3 billion contract for 846 rail cars — representing about half of the CTA’s total fleet. (READ MORE HERE) These cars don’t look much different from the current rail cars from the 80’s. I’m also upset that my idea to add a Pizza Party car was completely ignored. Maybe in the next 30 years? – @marconibologna

A Ditka-less “Sunday NFL Countdown”
Looks like “Da Coach” is off ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. They needed to make room for the brilliance that Matt Hasselbeck is going to bring. Because no one can tell us what it’s like to not win a Super Bowl like Matt Hasselbeck. Keyshawn Johnson is also off the show. He’ll be replaced by Charles Woodson. NBC Sports has the whole story HERE

Blackhawks commentators lose all chill over ‘ice cream kid’
(from chicagotribune.com)
“Look at him! Look at him! He’s going at it! That’s right! How many licks to the center of a soft-serve ice cream?” Blackhawks commentator Eddie Olczyk yelled during the Hawks game against the Red Wings Sunday, playing off the one-time Tootsie Pop ad slogan. Since then James’ video has popped up various places online. (READ MORE HERE) FWD 15 years later this kid is the ICE CREAM KING OF CHICAGO!!! – @marconibologna

Kevin Bacon finally endorses eggs
(from mashable.com)
Kevin Bacon is once again part of a complete breakfast. In a new commercial for the American Egg Board’s punny campaign, families are found wishing they had a few more degrees of separation from the actor when Bacon pops up in their homes unannounced to serenade them about eggs with his brother Michael Bacon. (READ MORE HERE) Eggs have never had better PR. I really hope they finally get the notoriety they deserve. – @marconibologna

That app we all said we didn’t want came out today
(from buzzfeed.com)
Last October, a two-person tech company based in Canada gave an interview to The Washington Post to talk up their new app, Peeple. The idea — “Yelp, but for people” — was, to put it lightly, not popular. It immediately kicked off a wild outburst, prompting furious reactions on every social platform imaginable and a glut of thinkpieces pointing to the app as a sign of the end times. (READ MORE HERE) I suggest downloading this app and reviewing Todd that guy you never liked in high school but tolerated because his dad owned the pizza place near the school and sometimes he would give out free pizza to Todd’s friends. Believe me, with a personality like Todd’s he needed a dad with a pizza place to make friends!! Wait…what was I talking about again? Oh yeah all of this is going on Todd’s review!! – @marconibologna
