Lady Gaga is Launching a Line of 'Grigio Girls' Wine
Lady Gaga is proving she can really do it all as she plans to enter the wine industry and launch her own brand of wine, Grigio Girls, which will include wine coolers, wine cocktails, and wine punches. The brand is named after the song "Grigio Girls" from the singer's 2016 album, Joanne, which paid tribute to her friend Sonja Durham, who is battling stage 4 cancer. "The song is about womanhood and sticking together and encouraging one another and teaching each other that it's ok to cry together and need one another, and that we can't do it alone," Gaga said in a Radio.com interview in October.
The Rock Broke the World Record for Largest 7-Layer Dip
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson broke a world record with his 540-pound, 7-layer fiesta dip, constructed by his production team over the weekend. The carefully constructed layers of guacamole, beans, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, green onions, and black olives, packed into a 100-gallon fish tank, easily surpassed the previous record of 440.925 pounds. The Rock partnered with his YouTube studio to create the monstrosity over the course of five hours. Johnson was actually not in the room when it was created, but it was his team, so he took credit for it, according to Foodbeast. After the dip broke the record, it was delivered immediately to LA's Midnight Mission for consumption by the homeless.
