• Birthday shoutouts! A belated Happy 30th Birthday to AE member Morgan, Helen Reddy is 70, Chely Wright is 41, and Katy Perry is 27. I know Katy has lots of fans here, and while I'm not one, I can appreciate that she's put out a lot of fun pop music over the last few years. So time to name your top five Katy songs! Here's my #1.

• Who will portray Princess Grace? And more importantly, will this biopic dredge up all of those awful jokes, i.e. "What did Princess Grace have that Natalie Wood could have used?"

• Oxygen has given the greenlight to two new docu-series, including L.A. Style, which is described this way (I sh*t you not):

"LA Style is a sizzling look into the lives of four breakthrough fashion stylists on the rise in the cutthroat and catty world of Hollywood fashion. Taylor Jacobson (The Rachel Zoe Project, Oxygen’s Hair Battle Spectacular) is a workaholic who has worked incessantly to procure an impressive list of clients and will fiercely protect them from rival stylists. Brett Alan Nelson is represented by a prestigious styling agency and will stay up around the clock to put his own spin on his looks because he’d rather die than have a client end up on a worst-dressed list. Sammy and Judy (aka 'The Kids') are a big double styling threat to other stylists in Hollywood. They style the It List of young, hip Hollywood and are squarely on the radar of LA’s fashion scene. And right on the group’s heels is Ashley Zohar (Taylor’s stylist best friend and also her part-time assistant). These are LA’s premier young super-stylists and they are taking no prisoners in clawing their way to the top."

• In ratings news, The Walking Dead was down only slightly from its record-smashing debut, so it's no surprise that AMC has already renewed it for a third season.

• Speaking of, below you can see the second webisode, in which Hannah finds her missing kids, and tries to make sense of what's happened.

• Starz has ordered the new series Da Vinci’s Demons, written by David S. Goyer (who co-wrote Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and is the writer of Man of Steel), which will portray Leonardo Da Vinci as some kind of adventurer. As long as there are butt shots, I'm fine with it.

• TV Line has a gallery of photos from the Halloween-themed episodes of some of your favorite shows.

• Presented without comment.

• James Franco is all James Franco in the latest Flaunt, (h/t Crawfish Po Boy)

• Billy Eichner is coming to FUSE with the new half-hour game show Funny or Die’s Billy On The Street. If you've never seen Billy in action, below you can experience his NSFW! stylings.
