I just can’t figure out how this ‘Stranger Things’ Halloween decoration works . . .

IT’S FAT BEAR WEEK! GO MEET THE FAT BEARS AND THEN VOTE ON THE FAT BEARS.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Former President Big Lie is suing CNN for defamation for using the term “Big Lie” to describe his lying about the 2020 election. Good luck with that, asshole.

Game of Thrones fans are threatening to boycott an upcoming George R.R. Martin book because of some … not great things his co-authors have said, specifically about diverse casting on Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

Back in 2012, Linda Antonsson complained in a blog post that Nonso Anozie, a Black man, was cast in the role of Xaro Xhoan Daxos, who is described as “pale” in the books. Five months later, she celebrated when Dario was cast as a white man. More recently she tweeted about Steve Toussaint being cast as the Sea Snake: “There are no Black Valyrians and there should not be any in the show.”

I, for one, have a difficult time imagining anyone other than Toussaint in the role — the man owns it completely. Also, there is a VERY good reason to make the Velaryons Black, which if you’ve seen the most recent episode, should make good sense. It’s a brilliant creative decision, honestly.

James Harden approves of Quinta Brunson’s Abbott Elementary Halloween costume (and how could he not?):

PRO TIP: If you are not 100% positive an actor is wearing a fat suit, do not write about them wearing a fat suit.

Over in Russia, Marina Ovsyannikova, the news producer who interrupted a broadcast to hold up a sign blaming what was happening in Ukraine on Putin and yelling to viewers that the news was lying to them has escaped house arrest with her 11-year-old daughter. Let’s pray they make it to safety.

Nathan Fielder explores the ethical lines of comedy, but he’s not insane.

The people on OAN are insane:

Velma is confirmed to be a lesbian. Can’t wait for OAN to hear the news.

Wait, is a reboot of Moonlighting on the way? Apparently there will be some kind of announcement tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Rings of Power has begun filming for season two on Prime Video.

Warner Bros. Discovery is assuring everyone that Casey Bloys is going nowhere. So that’s ONE good decision on their part. 

Everyone, go home: this couple has already won the Halloween yard decorating contest this year:

… aaaaaaaand, it’s already been taken down because of complaints to the cops.

Love continues to die.

Stay strong, Emma Caulfield.

You might have heard something about something something “Try Guys” last week. Pajiba has a very good explainer for those of us over a certain age who had no idea what the fuss was about if you would like a deep dive. The short version is, The Try Guys is a quartet of dudes originally from Buzzfeed who made videos of themselves trying different activities, like high diving or wearing heels or eating weird things. One of them, Ned Fulmer, cheated on his wife with one of their producers, and has thus been kicked out of the Try Guys. The link above explains that it’s not just that he cheated, it’s that 1. his marriage was a big part of his brand, and 2. he put the entire team at a certain amount of legal and financial exposure by sleeping with an employee. And that’s why your Twitter feed last week was maybe filled with people my age saying, “Wait, who the hell are the Try Guys?”

On Red Table Talk, Constance Wu opened up some more about being sexually harassed on Fresh Off the Boat.

Naomi Watts was told by industry insiders that her career would be over by the age of 40 — when she would become “unfuckable.” VERY HEALTHY BUSINESS.

Chloë Grace Moretz reveals that she stepped away from acting after the internet made mean Family Guy memes about her. She developed body dysmorphia and anxiety as a result.

Bill Cosby’s request for a new trial in the Judy Huth case has been denied. GOOD.

The Supreme Court will not take up Danny Masterson and Scientology’s case against his rape accusers. GOOD.

Megyn Kelly defending Jordan Peterson from Olivia Wilde is completely on-brand for Kelly.

Old Man Director decries “woke” culture is no longer breaking news, guys.
