1. Trevor Noah kisses Dua Lipa as he quits 'The Daily Show'
Sometimes one kiss is all it takes … to get you to quit your job. Trevor Noah has announced his surprise exit from The Daily Show after seven years, which came just as rumors emerged he might be dating Dua Lipa. The Daily Mail published photos of the comedian kissing the "Levitating" singer after a "cozy date night" grabbing dinner in New York City on Wednesday. "It was clear they were into each other and sat close together throughout the meal," a source told the Daily Mail. "They left together and walked, stopping for long embraces and on the second kiss with hugs." So is the timing a total coincidence? Yeah, probably, though who among us wouldn't trade employment for making out with Dua Lipa? Noah reportedly plans to spend more time levitating.
2. Nick Cannon welcomes his 2nd child in 2 weeks
In the future, Hallmark's business will be entirely sustained by Father's Day cards purchased by Nick Cannon's kids. The Masked Singer host has, we kid you not, welcomed yet another child, his second within a period of two weeks and 10th overall. He announced on Instagram that Brittany Bell has given birth to their third child together. "Another Blessing!!!" he wrote, thanking God for giving "me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable." For those having trouble keeping track, Cannon has at this point had children with six different women: Bell, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, and Mariah Carey. He welcomed his ninth child, and first with Cole, on Sept. 14, and his 10th child was born on Sept. 23. Cannon is also currently expecting his 11th child with De La Rosa, who is reportedly due next month. The latest kid's name is Rise Messiah Cannon, though, at this point, we'd recommend Nick's cannon rise a little less.

3. 'Jurassic World' director admits 'there probably should have only been one' "Jurassic Park"' movie
Hollywood producers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. In an interview with Empire, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow admitted Jurassic Park shouldn't have had any sequels, despite directing several of those sequels himself. "It's inherently un-franchisable," he said, adding that "there probably should have only been one Jurassic Park." But he explained that if there had to be sequels, he wanted to "change the DNA of the franchise" with the most recent film, Dominion. "How can I allow them to tell stories in a world in which dinosaurs exist, as opposed to, here's another reason why we're going to an island?" he said. Yes, despite Dominion being billed as the "epic conclusion of the Jurassic era," Trevorrow teased, "There's more to come." If only there were a movie that showed us what happens when you try to bring a dead thing back to life for profit.
4. A 'Community' movie is finally in the works
Cool … cool cool cool. A Community movie is officially in the works for a 2023 release, meaning the sitcom's "six seasons and a movie" prophecy has finally been fulfilled. It will be released on Peacock, partnering Community with another streamer that will probably be dead soon after the sixth season aired on Yahoo! Screen. Remember Yahoo! Screen? Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong are all on board, but the announcement notably didn't include Yvette Nicole Brown, Donald Glover, or Chevy Chase among the cast. Chase returning is probably off the table, but McHale did tag both Brown and Glover in a tweet about the news, perhaps suggesting they could still appear. Glover had expressed interest in returning as Troy, who last we heard had been captured by pirates during a sailing trip around the world. Whether he comes back might finally settle whether this is, in fact, the darkest timeline.

5. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher leave the bathroom door open all the time
Haven't you people ever heard of closing the bathroom door? In an interview with E! News, Mila Kunis admitted she and husband Ashton Kutcher leave the door open all the time when they use the bathroom. "Our doors are always open in our house," she said. "We have no closed doors in our house. That includes the bathroom." The That '70s Show star continued that "as a family," they've "all kind of embodied bodily function as a very standard norm." While Kunis noted she "never thought that I would be the person that was able to go to the bathroom with the door open," she apparently got into the practice because her kids would constantly be knocking even when the door was closed. "So I was like, forget it, just keep the door damn open," she said. Still, after Kunis and Kutcher controversially declared they don't wash with soap daily, we don't even want to think about what this house smells like.
