I'm a bit of a superstitious person. Not nearly as bad as I was as a kid. I had terrible OCD and did things in repititions of 8. Getting out of a pool? Dunk your head 8 times. Step on a crack? Step on it 7 more times to cancel out to juju.
So I was really into a piece by Ellen Weinstein, Via the amazing Artsy, where she broke down some of the greatest artist and the little (or big) ways they center their mojo or ward off evil.
Btw, Ellen did all the illustrations for the piece. Which as far as I'm concerned are better than the facts!
Coco Chanel
Lucky Number 5
French clothing designer Coco Chanel (1883–1971) was deeply superstitious. It’s been said that she was informed by a fortune-teller that 5 was her lucky number, and she named her famed fragrance accordingly. Her apartment also contained a crystal chandelier created with shapes twisted into the number 5, and she liked to present her collections on the fifth day of May (the fifth month of the year) for good luck.

Sumner is the head of Viacom and he's getting up there in years. So either because he can't or to just save his voice, he has been communicating with an iPad that’s preloaded with audio clips of his voice saying “Yes,” “No” and “F–k you,” according to a report.

PETA is distancing themselves from the woman who opened fire at the YouTube headquarters and injured three employees before killing herself.
A rep for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals tells The Blast Nasim Aghdam “Appeared at a few demonstrations about 9 years ago, but changed her phone number and dropped out of sight.”
38-year-old Aghdam was photographed in 2009 attending a PETA protest in San Diego denouncing the use of pigs in military-trauma training.

Kathy Griffin has been in a real bad place, lately. Shunned by all sides and a failed attempt to sue her neighbor probably hurt most of all. But she's fighting her way back.
Playing trumps counselor Kellyanne Conway for Tuesday’s broadcast of “The President Show.”
For the spoof “Make American Great-A-Thon” special, Anthony Atamanuik as Trump introduced the “lone survivor of the Bowling Green Massacre” to the audience. Fake Conway then performed her “act,” which essentially involved her giving a positive spin on the atrocious actions of some of “the worst people in history” (similar to how she sometimes defends members of the Trump administration in real life).

This ‘90s revival tour promises to celebrate the group’s history and studio albums to date while pointing toward the future.

“Hey world!

Comedian Garry Shandling, who died suddenly in 2016, got a thoughtful and admiring tribute in a four-and-a-half-hour documentary directed by Judd Apatow, which premiered on HBO last week.
Now, building on “The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling,” a group of Shandling’s friends have reactivated his Twitter account and are sharing passages from the diaries that comprise the spine of the documentary. “Friends who love Garry, working with his estate, are opening up Garry’s twitter,” the first message reads. “We will occasionally tweet material from the writings, notes and journals he has left us: ‘Let life live through you. Presence. Compassion. Kindness.’”
Apatow, who did a radio interview with Shandling when he was just 16, went on to write jokes for him and then get a major boost to his career as a writer and producer on Shandling’s “The Larry Sanders Show.” In the film, he calls Shandling the most important professional mentor of his career.
You know, the Dali Lama said to make sure to put love ahead of success. Wait, was that the order? I wished I had taped it.
