Simon Cowell and the Members of One Direction Were at Liam Payne's Funeral

Liam Payne was laid to rest yesterday at St. Mary's Church near his hometown of Wolverhampton, England.

His coffin arrived in a horse-drawn carriage with flower arrangements spelling out "Daddy" and "Son". Another floral display was in the shape of a bowling ball crashing into pins. Apparently, he was a fan of the sport.

Liam's One Direction bandmates were all there: Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan.

Simon Cowell . . . who put One Direction together on the show "X Factor", was seen embracing Liam's parents.

Also in attendance was Liam's girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who was with him in Argentina just days before his death. So was his ex Cheryl Cole, who is the mother of his son Bear . . . and James Corden.

Harry Styles and members of One Direction arrived at a London-area church on Wednesday to say their goodbyes to Liam Payne ... just over a month after the singer's death.

This Year's Hottest Black Friday Buy: Everything Bagel Mac-and-Cheese?

It seems like all the chaos of Black Friday has moved from sleeping outside Best Buy . . . to constantly hitting refresh on your computer like you're trying to score Taylor Swift tickets. And this is no different.

Kraft is putting out a limited-edition, "Everything Bagel" version of their classic mac-and-cheese. This apparently IS something that people wanted, specifically "Zillennials," which is "a mix of Gen Z and Millennials."

This special release is happening on Black Friday . . . but you do NOT have to brave the crowds. In fact, it's only online.

Everything Bagel Mac-and-Cheese will be available on Walmart.com for a suggested price of $1.58. Pre-sales open on Monday, November 25th, but the actual sales don't begin until Black Friday.

They'll only be available while supplies last, and they're only releasing 14,000 boxes total, which they say is "less than 2% of the number of boxes of Original Kraft Mac & Cheese the brand sells each day."

Nearly half of Americans customize their mac & cheese by adding extra seasonings and ingredients, affectionately known as “mac hacks.”1 Today, KRA

Remember "Barbenheimer"? Now Get Ready for "Glicked"

Who can forget Barbenheimer, right? It was the summer of 2023 . . . "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" both hit theaters on the same day, and both were box office SMASHES.

Well, we've got a similar situation brewing for this weekend. It's called Glicked. (???)

"Gladiator 2" and "Wicked" both open tomorrow, and both are expected to do big business.

According to projections, "Wicked" is going to make $100 million to $110 million in its opening weekend. Maybe MORE.

And "Gladiator 2" should finish a solid second, with $65 million.

For the record, "Barbie" opened with $162 million back in July of 2023 . . . and "Oppenheimer" made $82.5 million.

Is "Glicked" the new "Barbenheimer"?

Five Random Facts for Thursday from the Smiley Morning Show:

1. Sweet potatoes and yams are NOT the same thing. They are two different species of root vegetable with very different backgrounds and uses.

The U.S. government perpetuated the error of labeling sweet potatoes with orange flesh "yams" . . . but they're still sweet potatoes.

Yams are actually uncommon in America. They're native to Africa and Asia . . . they have dark almost black bark-like skin, with purple, white, or reddish flesh . . . they can grow up to seven feet long . . . and they're NOT sweet.

2. Before the company Tecmo was making classic video games like "Tecmo Bowl" and "Ninja Gaiden", they manufactured cleaning supplies and yachts.

3. Brian May from Queen has a Ph.D. in astrophysics.

4. The word "egregious" comes from Latin . . . where it meant "exceptionally good." But people kept using it sarcastically, to the point where the meaning completely evolved and now, it only means "exceptionally bad."

5. There's a five-star hotel in Ukraine . . . still . . . that used to be a N**i concentration camp. Not that this is the best time to be vacationing in Ukraine.
