Snooki Retires from Jersey Shore

If you are a fan of the hit MTV reality series Jersey Shore, it may break your heart to hear that Snooki just announced that she is retiring from the show. She broke the news on her podcast on Friday and said that stepping away from the show is what's best for her at the moment. Her main reason for this decision is that she hates being away from her kids. At 32 years old she feels it isn't mature and responsible of her to leave her three kids to go party on TV. She also said she doesn't like the direction the show is heading in. There is a lot of drama and negativity that she doesn't have time for anymore. (via Popcrush)

No More Fake Calling in Sick for Chipotle Workers

Fun fact: Chipotle has nurses on call to check if workers who call in sick are just hungover. "We have nurses on call, so that if you say, 'Hey, I've been sick,' you get the call into the nurse, The nurse validates that it's not a hangover — you're really sick — and then we pay for the day off to get healthy again," said a spokesperson for Chipotle. So if you ever thought about lying to get out of work, think again! (via Business Insider)

Bill Nye the Science Guy Sues Disney

Bill Nye the science guy is taking Disney to court and suing them for $28 million. This lawsuit has been going on since 2017 and has just been given the green light to head to court. Our childhood hero is accusing Disney of withholding profits from his show Bill Nye the Science Guy. They originally had an agreement that Bill Nye would get 16.5 percent of the net profits from sales and distributions of the show. However, in 2008, Disney sent him a check for about only $600,000. Then they had the nerve to ask for nearly $500,000 of it back due to an "accounting error." So Bill Nye requested an audit, which eventually found he was owed royalty payments in the amount of $9 million. Guess its safe to say we wont be getting a Bill Nye the Science Guy reboot.
