When Shirley MacLaine hit the set of Downton Abbey, she had a single minded focus to find Rob James-Collier, 
who plays our evil gay footman Thomas. "With the whole cast turned out to meet her, She got out the car, this Hollywood icon, and she was kind of looking for someone. And everyone was there, the entire cast, and she went, ‘It’s you!’ pointing at me. She came over to me and she’s like, ‘The evil one! Why are you so evil?’"
Disney has announced that it has acquired LucasFilm, including the Star Wars rights, Industrial Light & Magic, and everything else for $4.05 billion. They also announced plans for another Star Wars movie in 2015, and every 2-3 years after that.
Shirley Phelps-Roger has come out in favor of Hurricane Sandy destroying Northeast states that have legalized gay marriage.
The fact that Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are appearing on an MTV show to promote the end of the Twilight series doesn't impress me, but I'm amused that Gossip Cop also lumps everyone else in the cast into "Other 
cast members will be present." I'm sure whoever those "other cast members" are, from Kellan Lutz to Dakota Fanning, are thrilled with that.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has really impressed me in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. First he drops the Republican line about federal disaster relief being wrong, then he goes on to say “The President has been outstanding in this and so have the folks at FEMA.” Then later in the day when Fox & Friends asked him how he though Hurricane Sandy would affect the presidential election, he exploded. "I have a job to do. I've got 2.4 million people out of power, I've got devastation on the shore, I've got floods in the northern part of my state. If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics then you don't know me. I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested. I've got a job to do here in New Jersey that's much bigger than presidential politics and I could care less about any of that stuff."
Robert Pattinson has signed a deal to be the new face of Dior fragrance, netting the sparkly one about $12 million over the next three years. Does that mean we get to see him walking into a fashion show and casually shedding his clothes?
After Christian groups complained, two major banks that sponsor the Stonewall Awards have warned the organization that if they continue with their annual Bigot of the Year awards, sponsorship will be dropped. Barclays says “Let me be absolutely clear that Barclays does not support that award category either financially, or in principle and have informed Stonewall that should they decide to continue with this category we will not support this event in the future. To label any individual so subjectively and pejoratively runs contrary to our view on fair treatment, and detracts from what should be a wholly positively focused event.”
I guess he hasn't heard what the nominees have called gay people?
Lady Gaga and Calvin Harris got into it on Twitter about Harris saying he had turned down a collaboration with Gaga, which she denied asking for. After Harris clarified that it was her record label asking him to do a remix, they made up via Twitter.
Frank Grillo has been confirmed as Crossbones in Captain America: Winter Soldier, bringing a second villain to the film, which also confirmed Black Widow and Maria Hill as characters.
Speaking of comics, Comic-Con has been confirmed to stay in San Diego through 2016, giving people who live in San Diego plenty of time to schedule their vacations elsewhere.
Tonight Lifetime will feature Reverend Bob Larson on their reality show The Real Exorcist. This ordinarily wouldn't even make my radar, but as Queerty points out, a clip recently surfaced of Larson trying to expel a "gay demon" from a 
young man, which puts him outside the category of silly snake oil salesman and into the category of people profiteering off of people who are struggling or their family is struggling with their sexuality. Lifetime should be ashamed.
Out couple Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge say they haven't been as affectionate on The Amazing Race as some past couple largely due to where the show has taken place. "Of the five legs shown thus far, four have been in Muslim countries and homosexuality is illegal in every country we'd visited or passed through. Since we are guests in these countries, we chose to not embrace or kiss for practical and respectful reasons. 'We were literally relying on the kindness of strangers and cab drivers and challenging their beliefs would not have been strategically smart nor neighborly."

Seth Meyers stopped by the no-audience Jimmy Fallon show and expressed his dismay that climate change hadn't been discussed in the presidential elections, but speculated he knew why the Republicans won't bother discussing what they consider settled science.
Do the right thing, Iowa. Turn your ballot over.
Call of Duty: Black Ops has released their standard trailer with people interacting with the game, and this time they got Robert Downey, Jr. to channel his best Tony Stark.
Ledereen is Anders (Everyone Is Different) has released this rather amazing, and at times heartbreaking PSA about how you just never know how your kids are going to grow up. It should be shown at every church in the world.
Henri the Existential Cat is back, and he's not happy about it being Halloween today. But yes, the final scene does make me smile.
