Good afternoon Wypierdalaj,

Below are the latest entertainment news stories.

Halloween will have a Hollywood feel this year.

Google unveiled its top trending costume searches for 2026, and the list features characters from some of the year’s biggest movies.

Buddy the Unicorn came in at No. 1. The mascot from Casper Kelly’s horror film “Buddy,” which opened in theaters at the end of August, helped “Buddy unicorn costume” overtake “kids unicorn costume” on Google for the first time.

Seven years after Chick-fil-A changed its charitable giving strategy following criticism over donations to conservative Christian groups seen as anti-LGBTQ+, CEO Andrew Cathy was asked on TODAY about the company’s official position on equal rights.

“We’re focused on hospitality, serving great-tasting food, and great service,” Cathy told Craig Melvin on Oct. 14 as part of a conversation for the NBC News series “Business in America.”

A woman who accused “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular of raping her at his family’s Cape Cod home last May has refiled her civil lawsuit and dropped the sexual assault allegations against him, a move her lawyer said was intended to avoid interfering with a pending Massachusetts criminal case in connection with the encounter.

Clavicular, 20, whose real name is Braden Peters, was charged last month with rape, drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and procuring liquor for someone under 21 years old. He has denied the allegations detailed in the Sept. 8 criminal complaint filed in Orleans District Court in Barnstable County, Massachusetts.

Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, an 18-year-old influencer known online as Alorah or Alorah Ziva, alleged that in May 2025, while she was in Massachusetts, Peters called her an Uber to his family’s Cape Cod house. Once there, she said he got her drunk on vodka while they livestreamed on Twitch and then raped her, according to a criminal complaint from the Chatham Police Department.

RJ Mitte was one of the emotional centers of “Breaking Bad,” playing a teenager with cerebral palsy, a condition he lived with in real life since he was a toddler.

The actor passed away at 34.

Bryan Cranston, who played his father on the hit TV show, wrote in an Instagram post that he was in “deep despair.” He recalled Mitte was 14 when he was cast as his son, a role “he played with joy and enthusiasm.”

“Girls” will return for a limited five-episode run a decade after its finale.

HBO announced Tuesday that creator and star Lena Dunham will return along with key cast members Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and Andrew Rannells.

Judd Apatow will return as executive producer. The announcement makes no mention of Adam Driver returning to the cast.

Acclaimed DJ Calvin Harris will tour North America as a headliner for the first time next year, and the trip will kick off in Boston.

The “Feel So Close” artist opens the tour April 1 at TD Garden, Live Nation announced Tuesday. Harris will then hit 17 more cities across the U.S. and Canada.

Tickets will begin going on sale through Spotify on Monday at 10 a.m., and artist presale tickets will go on sale the day after that. General ticket sales begin on Thursday, Oct. 22; fans who want to register for the presale can do it now at calvinharris.com.
