Armstrong, Billie Jo –– After his well-publicized on-stage hissy fit at Las Vegas’ iHeartRadio music festival this past weekend, Green Day frontman Billie Jo Armstrong has announced that he’s checking himself into rehab. When asked to comment, the general public shrugged and said “Look, we’ve seen a lot of Green Day over the last ten years. We could probably use a break from Green Day, too. So take your time. We’re good here.”

Bride, The Princess — The majority of the cast of 1987’s romance classic The Princess Bride — including Billy Crystal, Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin and Carol Kane — are set to reunite at the upcoming New York Film festival on the day the film is released on Blu-ray. The event should be perfect for die-hard fans who love the movie but have always wondered what the cast would look like as old people.

Turner, J.M.W. — Three artworks believed to have been painted by acclaimed British artist J.M.W. Turner were authenticated this week at the National Museum Wales after Turner experts deemed them to be the real deal, overturning previous assumptions that they were knock-offs. The three paintings — “Off Margate,” “Margate Jetty” and “The Beacon Light” — will return to exhibition on Friday. A fourth alleged Turner painting, “Kim Kardashian Rides a Stationary Bicycle,” was discounted as inauthentic and will remain off display.
