Brothers and former Oasis bandmates Noel and Liam Gallagher both released solo albums this past fall, which means both had many chances to talk trash about each other on Twitter and in the press, something theyâve always been delighted to do. But now it looks like the two of them have made up, which means thereâs some chance at an Oasis reunion â or at least a slightly-less-uncomfortable family Christmas â in the coming days. (MORE HERE)Â

Disney added a new robot of Donald Trump to it’s long-running animatronic presentation the Hall of Presidents, except the current President’s robot counterpart is reminding more people of his 2016 Presidential campaign opponent Hillary Clinton. Videos and pics of the Trumpdroid have surfaced online this week from the Disney World th
Some are speculating this Trump-bot was originally made to resemble Clinton but has be retrofitted to look like Trump with mixed results. Trump supporters online have posted their support, but some point out how his tie should be red instead of blue. Other Trump supporters have expressed surprise the 45th President is even represented in the exhibit.
Now we can just expect a great sketch on Saturday Night Live with Alec Baldwin playing Trump fighting the robot version of himself right?
Here me out on this. Clearly Disney had Hilary's robot ready to go and then they had to try and make it look like Trump. Don't hate me. This is just a necessary and painful fact we all need to deal with. pic.twitter.com/biSirfwE59

Dave Grohl made an appearance as a wolf man in a Saturday Night Live sketch that was cut for time this past weekend, when Foo Fighters served as musical guest.
In the “New Year’s Kiss” digital short, Beck Bennett plays a guy trying to meet up with his friends before the clock strikes midnight on 2017. Bennett’s increasingly bizarre quest leads him to the Lotus Lounge to the VIP section to the New York sewers to an endless white void where the doorman is an ax-wielding, “weird, wolf-looking guard guy by the name Crystal,” played by Grohl.
Bennett then whispers an unspeakable secret into Grohl’s ear to gain admittance into the venue. “That was very brave of you to share,” Grohl’s wolf man whispers back. “Happy New Year’s.” However, Bennett’s friends have already left the bar.
“Hmmm…someone looks familiar in this bit,” Foo Fighters tweeted of the digital short. (MORE HERE)

Ready to go back to Dunder Mifflin?
NBC is reportedly planning to revive The Office, according to TVLine. Steve Carell will not be returning as Michael Scott, but the new series would involve a mix of old and new characters, all working at the Scranton, PA branch of everybody’s favorite paper company.
This plan no doubt comes as a result of the success of Will & Grace, which recently returned from the dead and came back to NBC after more than 10 years off the air. The Office ended in 2013 after nine seasons, with most of the original cast still in tact aside from Carell. (MORE HERE)

An alleged victim of former Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller is coming forward with accusations that Miller hit and sexually assaulted her while in college.
The accusations were eventually addressed by a student court at George Washington University and have been buzzed about in Hollywood and stand-up circles for years.
âHe just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right,â the woman told The Daily Beast. âHe choke[d] me, and I kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop⌠I couldnât say anything.â
Millerâs alleged victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said she is coming forward now in part because of the societal awakening to issues of sexual assault and harassment that has come in the aftermath of misconduct allegations that have rocked the entertainment industry. The Daily Beast is withholding her identity because of her fears of retribution. But for the purposes of this piece, we will call her Sarah. (MORE HERE)

The owner of the Windy Kitty Cat Cafe and Lounge admitted to a little stage fright last week, as she prepared to open her new Bucktown business which officially debuts to the public on Monday at 1760 W. North Avenue. That doesnât make a Jennifer Tiner a fraidy-cat, but she had a few jitters as she needed to find a new cat supplier when the original shelter pulled out at the last second.
âI felt like I was opening a restaurant without food,â Tiner said.
Windy Kitty quickly rebounded, coming terms to an agreement with Chicago Animal Care and Control. The group will provide the 12 to 15 cats visitors will see roaming around the space. Theyâll have to go through animal care to adopt any animals, but Tiner is happy to provide a place to relax and learn. She also sees Windy Kitty as potentially popular with private events â imagine snapping an adorable photo of young children playing with cats and posting the shot onto Instagram. (MORE HERE)

SPOILER ALERT! (But only if you haven’t seen The Empire Strikes Back.)
The Last Jedi might be considered failure at the box office…if only compared to its predecessor. $220 million in the first weekend makes it the second best North American debut of all time. The cast was making the rounds on television to promote the film, including popular Irish talker The Graham Norton Show.
No surprise that the CGI and film tricks have changed much between 1980 and now…but here, Mark Hamill reveals how they made the Force work back in the day…and it is ridiculously low tech, as you will see. — [eric]
So with just two pretty common household items — a cell phone camera and fishing line — you can be a Jedi master. Or something.
Speaking to fans directly this week during an Instagram live Q&A, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda addressed the blurry future of the band following the death of their beloved singer Chrester Bennington who passed away in July from suicide. Shinoda made one thing very clear, there will not be a live show with a hologram projection of Bennington.
âCan we not do a holographic Chester? I canât even wrap my head around the idea of a holographic Chester. Iâve actually heard other people outside the band suggest that, and thereâs absolutely no way. I cannot f**k with that,. I canât do a hologram Chester you guys, that would be the worst. For any of you guys who have lost a loved one, best friend, family member, can you imagine having a hologram of them? Awful. I canât do it. I donât know what weâre going to do, but weâll figure it out eventually.â said Shinoda according to Alternative Nation.
LP released the live album ‘One More Light Live’ on Friday, a collection live recordings on their last tour of Europe with Chester in the spring/early summer of 2017. The recordings take on a whole new meaning considering these would be the last shows with Chester and his amazing voice fronting one of the biggest alt bands of a generation. You can find it on all major streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify, and Google Music.
Here is ‘Crawling’ from the new live album.
LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!
SNL has been crushing this past season or two with roasting hot topics, really great writing, and adding exciting fresh new faces (FROM CHICAGO) to the cast. It’s gets better when the biggest band in the land and the most popular comedian in the world combine to make tonight’s broadcast from Studio 8H even more memorable. Tonight’s episode will be hosted by Kevin Hart fresh off the release of ‘Jumanj: Welcome to the Jungle” and featuring our beloved Foo Fighters who ramping for a big stadium tour of the United States this summer.
Do we get see Dave Grohl and company in a sketch? The Foos have proven again and again their taste of humor is wild and pronounced, so it would be a hoot to see the guys involved in something beyond their two song performances. On Halloween, Grohl filled in for Jimmy Kimmel on his late night show in late october, dressing up as another famous late night talk show host. Watch that here.Â
