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
Johnny Depp has been spotted making a brief appearance in AMC’s zombie series The Walking Dead (READ MORE HERE) I still get excited when Jack Sparrow pops out of the barrel on the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride. As if Johnny Depp needed anymore cool points. He never stops being awesome.- @marconibologna

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

One sure sign that warmer weather is on its way to Chicago is the appearance of food trucks, many of which come out of hibernation once the mercury starts rising. Last year, Chicago’s Small Business Center and the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection organized a series of food truck festivals in Daley Plaza and in front of the Sears Tower (READ MORE HERE) I feel ‘FOOD TRUCK SEASON’ should be a thing. “You think pizza season is great, just wait for FOOD TRUCK SEASON!!” – @marconibologna

Foo Fighters are going on an indefinite hiatus, drummer Taylor Hawkins has confirmed in a new interview. (READ MORE HERE) They’ve taken breaks before. Plus they did just come off an amazing year of touring and most likely just want some time off. Let’s not panic. Dave Grohl and company aren’t going away. Just taking a well deserved vacation. – @marconibologna *please let me be right*
Jack White showed up on the Muppets season finale. Not only doing a little duet with Ketmit on “Fell In Love with a Girl” but he also teamed up with Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem to cover “You are the Sunshine of My Life.” Consequence of Sound has both videos HERE.
