Anna Kendrick used her instafamous powers, above, for good when she demonstrated the correct way to interact with birds: Don’t.
Don’t touch them, don’t talk to them and definitely don’t look at them in their beady eyes. Making direct eye contact is a sign of aggression and you don’t want to get aggressive with a bird because they WILL fight you. But also don’t let a bird know you’re afraid of it. Show fear and a bird will peck your eye out or swallow you whole like you’re just a little mouse! Even pigeons! ESPECIALLY pigeons.
Which is why I really wish Meg Ryan would look where she’s going. There’s a disgusting, horrible pigeon right in front of her! And she’s walking like she doesn’t have a care in the world! It’s like she hears nothing. Not even a sound on the streets of New York, just the beating of her own heart. But maybe it’s a carrier pigeon. Maybe it has mail. Maybe this is the meet-cute we’ve all been waiting for! Maybe I should just forget about birds and go watch You’ve Got Mail for the billionth time.
Andrea Martin got to meet a llama and I’m only a little jealous. Mostly ’cause I think alpacas are better. (They’re not the spitters.)
Matt Lanter and Chrissy Metz ALSO get to meet a llama. OK, now I’m a lot jealous. I bet the cool animal hangs are just about the best things about being famous. Imagine somebody bringing you sloths or capybaras or llamas virtually whenever you want. Celebrities. They’re not just like us.
Larry David confronts his doppelganger, former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter. Imagine being Larry David and discovering late in life how much you look like all the other old white guys. Pretty pretty good work if you can get it.
Whether you’re the original Gollum like Andy Serkis, more of a hobbit-lover type like Armie Hammer, or a full-on Smeagol like Jake Gyllenhaal, I think we can all agree that nobody should touch your precioussss.
The colour of these clothes worn by the members of HAIM can only be described as Pepto Bismol pink. Fittingly, a glug or two of Pepto Bismol is exactly what you would need if you consumed too much HAIM.
Haley Joel Osment watches Macaulay Culkin and Breckin Meyer, patiently awaiting his turn with Meyer’s new business venture “Human Uber, but for former child stars who are no longer cute.”
Prince William was in Belfast, where it was raining and where he showed blatant favouritism to bald men when he shared his umbrella only with a fellow bald man. I’m sorry. That was rude. In England, it’s called a brolly.
While he was in Ireland, Prince William also indulged in the time-honoured royal tradition of pouring one shot of whiskey for himself, then one for his boat.
Thanks, Al Roker and Anthony Kiedis, for showing everybody what proper and improper bike safety looks like. Remember kids: Always wear a helmet. And a shirt.

Householders in Weston used on average more electricity in a year than anywhere else in the South West, and possibly even the rest of the country.
The average home used 4,074 units a year, and the town was the first in the South West to reach an average of more than 4,000.
The figures were attributed to the number of new homes being built with electricity installed.
Pigeons were once again blighting the town, but oral contraceptive pills were being considered as the best way to decrease their numbers.
An experiment with the pills being put in pigeon food was being conducted in Birmingham.
It was not the first time Weston councillors considered using contraceptives on the pigeons, but in the past they had always chosen to trap them instead.
Somerset County Council rejected a plea to keep Kingston Seymour’s school open.
The motion was defeated 51 votes to 26.
Criticism was made of the inadequacy of the South West Regional Economic Planning Council when dealing with tourism.
Weston and much of Somerset had been left out of the plan for the South West, and grumbles about it continued.
It was claimed North Somerset and the Mendips attracted four million day visitors and half a million overnight visitors every year.
The Commodore in Kewstoke was flooded after the tide breached a boundary wall. It was one of the highest tides of the year.
Blustering winds also made the Weston Grand Prix cycling race a gruelling task.
The riders were confronted with almost gale force winds during parts of it.
September was the warmest in Weston for nine years, but there was more rainfall than there had been since 1958.
A referendum on whether street lights should be introduced in Congresbury had been held a year ago.
Some lights had been set up so councillors could decide which was better between sodium and mercury vapour bulbs.
‘A battle was on’ to save the chestnut trees in Alexandra Parade.
The highways committee wanted to remove them on public safety grounds, and replace them with silver birch but a number of people were not in favour of it.

We found these pigeons in a little park next to St. Paul’s Hotel in Kensington. They are the fattest damn pigeons I’ve ever seen. They look like they could explode any moment.
Unsurprisingly, they’re also lazy. They didn’t scatter when we approached. Nor did they flock over to us hoping for a bit of bread or something. As near as I could tell, their philosophy was simple: they wouldn’t bother moving unless you actually held out some food and they could confirm that it was worth the trouble to waddle over.
None of the other pigeons in the area look like this. Just these. The hotel folks must throw out absolute bucketloads of food to them.

An Australian woman shared video of a too-friendly pigeon that attempted to attract the woman with a mating dance.
The video, filmed at a Brisbane apartment building, shows the pigeon following the woman and performing the birds’ mating dance, despite her rebuffs.
“We have incompatible genitals, pigeon,” the woman says.
“The pigeons around my old apartment building would do their mating dance for anyone and everything, not just pigeons,” the woman wrote. “This pigeon in particular really wanted to mate with me, despite the obvious species difference.”

A woman in Castle Park, who was spotted with painted pigeons, has been branded “cruel” by an animal charity.
Onlookers were shocked by the bright colours on the pigeons, and reported it to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) last week.
Eye witnesses said she brought the birds to the park in a satchel, and had been there for a while.
The RSPCA said it was “cruel and unnecessary” and they were now working to track the woman down.
A spokesman for the charity said: “We are aware that a person was seen with pigeons painted in bright colours, in Castle Park this week.
“We sent an inspector out to find out more but the person could not be found.
“We are concerned by the possibility that someone may have intentionally painted the pigeon’s feathers.
“This is very worrying as it could cause health problems, impair their ability to fly and make them more vulnerable to predators.
