- The music's over for Glee star Jane Lynch and her wife, Lara Embry. People reports the two are divorcing after three years of marriage. They tied the knot in Massachusetts.
- D'aw! Horror icons get cute. No wait, The Shining twins are still plenty creepy.
- Man of Steel hasn't even opened but a sequel's already revving up.
- A French teacher was suspended after showing a classroom full of sixth graders the horror flick Saw. You'd think in France, they'd at least be showing porn porn instead of torture porn.
- Newest Hollywood blood feud is between talent agencies. WME ran ads that said "CAA CAAN'T."
- Thousand Oaks gets a shiny new water reservoir.
