While I'm writing this, London is burning. I'm without words, as landmark buildings, double-decker buses, and theaters go up in flames. I just Jesse Tyler Fergusondon't know what to say.

Of course, we had already seen pictures from the set, but it's still very cool to see a list of guest stars for the new season of Sesame Street. I see out ginger Jesse Tyler Ferguson listed, and I'm so glad his relationship with Justin Mikita didn't suffer any lasting harm once Elmo got handsy.

A woman is against her 8-year-old son's new dinosaur toys because dinosaurs weren't in the Bible. I think it's funny, but I really should find it sad. Maybe I'm hoping it's satire?

Andy CohenBravo's Andy Cohen is planning a memoir about his hugely successful career and coming out in the entertainment industry. I can think of one person he could send a copy to. (Hint, hint.) Plus, he can use unsold copies as booster seats in restaurants!
