Way To Go, Harry! Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Officially Engaged
I've always rather liked Princes William and Harry. Maybe it's the influence of their mother, the late Diana, that made the boys so endearing. She insisted on giving the boys as much of a "normal" life as she could in spite of the pressures of being royal, and mercifully, their father Prince Charles saw the wisdom in that. There's always been something about Prince Harry, though, that made me smile in particular, and now that he's engaged to American actress Meghan Markle, I couldn't be happier for him.

Claws For Thought: Liev Schreiber Pens Love Letter To Wolverine After 'Logan'
Pass the tissues to mop up the blood and the tears, it is time for an emotional farewell as after 17 years we are waving goodbye to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Over nine films we have bulked and sulked with the clawed Canadian, who bows out of his role with James Mangold's #Logan. The third chapter in the Wolverine spin-offs, Logan saw Mangold pick up the reins after the car crash that was Gavin Hood's X-Men: Origins Wolverine in 2009. While Origins was almost universally panned, it did explore the relationship between #HughJackman's Logan and his half-brother Sabretooth, a.k.a. Victor Creed, played by Liev Schreiber.

If The Price Is Right: Katie Price To Appear In 'Sharknado 5'
Just when you thought it was safe to back into the water, along comes Katie Price to launch her acting career. As strange cameos go, the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen in Scary Movie 5, Michael Jackson in Men in Black II, and Quentin Tarantino in any of his films are all up there. Well, the latest casting for #Sharknado might just top that. Spinning onto our screens in a flurry of teeth and fins for a fifth film (yes, they made it to five), Sharknado 5: Earth O is presumably aiming to bring in an audience of masturbating teens by adding glamour model #KatiePrice to its cast.

Is Steve Buscemi Trying To Contact Me Telepathically, Through My Dreams?
The first time Steve Buscemi visited me in my slumber was my freshman year of high school. He came to me in one of the most vivid and detailed dreams my teenage self had ever had. The experience was bizarre, but I had the unshakable feeling that it was important. Still, I had no idea what it meant, and soon it faded from my mind.
