  • The word is that Quentin Tarantino is making a movie about the Manson murders, and that Jennifer Lawrence has been approached about the project. Debra Tate, sister of victim Sharon Tate, says she hopes Lawrence doesn't end up playing Sharon. The reason? It's because she's "not pretty enough." Oh boy.
  • In a world of such disparate opinions, at least we can all agree on the singular goodness of mac n' cheese, right? Well, turns out it's got bad chemicals in it.
  • A monkey took selfie. And now PETA says it holds the copyright.
  • A look back at when Ernest "Papa" Hemingway visited L.A. 80 years ago. (He hated Hollywood, by the way).
  • Clint Eastwood is making a movie about the three California men who stopped a terrorist attack on a train in France in 2015.
  • We already know that cars can be bad for the environment. But a study really drove home the point (pun intended) by saying that eliminating car ownership is the best way to fight climate change.
  • Are you sly enough to catch Carmen Sandiego? (Clue: she's the person in the very conspicuous red coat)
