Does Scarlett Johansson have bad morning breath?

Like all relationships, marriages are held together by couples keeping certain thoughts and opinions to themselves. Healthy relationships are rooted in honesty, but things can quickly become unhealthy when people share every judgment, annoyance and desire with their spouse.

While glamorous couples like actress Scarlett Johansson and “Saturday Night Live’s” Colin Jost seem like they play by different rules than the average husband and wife, a new ad they helped create for Amazon shows they’re just like everyone else.

Besides the fact, they are incredibly good-looking, rich and talented.

Jost and Johansson got engaged back in 2019 and were married in October 2020. The couple has a baby together named Cosmo and Johansson is mother to a daughter, Rose, 7.


In a new ad for Amazon’s Echo, the couple finds themselves living in a dreamworld where Alexa can read their minds. Who knew that Scarlett Johansson has terrible morning breath? Or that Colin Jost doesn’t always approve of Johansson’s acting decisions?

Perhaps, the most devastating moment is when Jost has to confront the idea that Johansson may enjoy making out with “hot” actors on camera. "It's the worst," she assures him as "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac pops on the Echo.

The ad is funny and shows the couple has a great sense of humor about their relationship. It probably rings true with viewers because they helped write the ad. Claudine Cheever, vice president of global brand and fixed marketing for Amazon says they were "very involved in the joke writing" for the commercial.

Now, can we get a sequel to the ad where Alexa can read Michael Che's mind?

Everyone wants to know how long they will live and there are many indicators that can show whether someone is thriving or on the decline. But people have yet to develop a magic formula to determine exactly how long someone should expect to live.

However, a doctor recently featured on the "Today" show says a straightforward test can reveal the likelihood that someone aged 51 to 80 will die in the near future.

NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar was on the "Today" show on March 8 and demonstrated how to perform the simple “sit to stand test” (aka sit-rising test or SRT) that can help determine the longevity of someone between 51 to 80.

Know the signs of a domestic abuser.

Most abusers don't start their relationships by hitting their partners. That's why early warning signs are vital to recognize.

I know two women who recently left abusive partners. Both men seemed sweet and likable—even gentle—each time I saw them. Both had some lovely qualities as people and even as partners. And both turned out to be controlling, increasingly abusive partners behind closed doors.

Jimmy Fallon of the Tonight Show.

High schools are a perfect breeding ground for weirdness. First of all, you have a bunch of teenagers who are starting to deal with adult problems but they don’t have the experience or the brain development to figure out how to navigate complex feelings and relationships.

Then you add sex, drugs, learner’s permits, the stress of trying to get into college and really bad facial hair to the situation and you have all the ingredients for people and situations to go completely sideways.

Then there are the teachers. High school teachers tend to be a bit more eccentric than those in the younger grades because they are hired as specialists in a given field, such as history, math or science. Whereas teachers in younger grades have to be nurturing and have a more holistic approach to child development.

Here’s why you look better in mirrors than you do in pictures

A scientific breakdown that explains why it's so hard to take a good selfie.

Usually the greatest fear after a wild night of partying isn't what you said that you might regret, but how you'll look in your friends' tagged photos. Although you left the house looking like a 10, those awkward group selfies make you feel more like a 5, prompting you to wonder, "Why do I look different in pictures?"

It's a weird phenomenon that, thanks to selfies, is making people question their own mirrors. Are pictures the "real" you or is it your reflection? Have mirrors been lying to us this whole time??

TikTok about '80s childhood is a total Gen X flashback.

As a Gen X parent, it's weird to try to describe my childhood to my kids. We're the generation that didn't grow up with the internet or cell phones, yet are raising kids who have never known a world without them. That difference alone is enough to make our 1980s childhoods feel like a completely different planet, but there are other differences too that often get overlooked.

How do you explain the transition from the brown and orange aesthetic of the '70s to the dusty rose and forest green carpeting of the '80s if you didn't experience it? When I tell my kids there were smoking sections in restaurants and airplanes and ashtrays everywhere, they look horrified (and rightfully so—what were we thinking?!). The fact that we went places with our friends with no quick way to get ahold of our parents? Unbelievable.
