It smells like teen spirit and I feel fine. R-E-M lead singer Michael Stipe performed a marriage ceremony earlier this month for Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk. Cobain is the daughter of Courtney Love and the late Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain. Stipe is also her godfather. The groom is the son of skateboarder Tony Hawk.

Rapper Lil Wayne is investing in the sport of pickleball. He's the latest co-owner of the Texas Ranchers team based out of Austin. The Ranchers are one of Major League Pickleball's founding teams. The Grammy winner joins golfer Scottie Scheffler, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons and jewelry designer Kendra Scott, who are also investors. In a statement, Lil Wayne says he's enjoyed watching the sport and "couldn't pass up the opportunity to join this team of owners."

A restaurant in Wisconsin called Noodles and Company is offering a special after a lunchtime incident on Tuesday. The manager of the Beloit store, Patti Pickering said they were in the middle of the lunch rush and had 65 children eating a meal while trick-or-treating when a deer crashed through the window and ran through the restaurant. Pickering said the kids went out the side doors while the buck came into the dining room and through the kitchen. He exited through the back door. The restaurant said no one, including the deer, was hurt. In light of the event, the location is offering a promo code for a "Two BUCK Mac & Cheese" special for local customers who want to--quote--"save some DOE."

McDonald's is replacing the plastic spoon that comes with the McFlurry. The fast food chain says it's looking into more sustainable alternatives. The hollow spoon, which confused many because of its shape, doubled as a spindle. It could be inserted into the machine to mix in the ice cream toppings. Now, the shakes will have a smaller spoon using less plastic.

The great "Taco Tuesday" fight is over and the winner is Taco Bell. Gregory's Restaurant and Bar in Somers Point, New Jersey owned the trademark for "Taco Tuesday" in the Garden State for 40 years and was refusing to give it up. It was the only holdout in the U.S. but after facing mounting legal bills brought on by Taco Bell, it has now forfeited the catchy slogan. So, any restaurant anywhere can now use the term "Taco Tuesday" without fear of getting a cease and desist letter. Taco Bell is thrilled, saying "Taco Tuesday" should belong to all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos.

Turns out teens want less sex and romance on their screens. A UCLA study finds Generation Z would rather see platonic relationships in entertainment. The majority of survey participants say romance is overused in media. Researchers say Gen Z craves feel-good character relationships after being isolated during the pandemic. This trend is being labeled as "nomance."
