You blink three times and you miss half of the news in showbiz land. No worries, I got you covered. Do you also want to be able to chat at the coffee machine? This is what you need to know.

That clever Meghan Markle knows how to dodge Donald Trump again

Long story short: Buckingham Palace is preparing for a visit from the president. A visit that would normally be highly anticipated, since Meg and Don are not really fans of each other. She referred to him in the past as ‘woman-unfriendly’, after which he labeled her ‘nasty’. Not a great start. Today, the two were supposed to shake hands, were it not for Meghan and Harry taking some time off together for some quality time with their new family. When Trump traveled to Buckingham Palace in June, Meghan was on parental leave and also not present at the meeting. Clever girl.

This is the most awkward conversation I have ever seen Ellen DeGeneres have

My god. In a nutshell: actress Dakota Johnson joins, Ellen asks how her thirtieth birthday was, jokingly adds ‘why wasn't I invited?’ and then this happens... Anyway. Watch along.

A little crying is not in the cards for Brad Pitt 

The actor tells in a conversation with Anthony Hopkins that he falls into the category of ‘non-cryers’. ‘I haven't cried in about twenty years, but I notice – now that I'm older – that I get touched more easily.’ So, we know that now. Wait, what, twenty years? Shit man. Not even after the messy divorce with Jolie? Hmmm. Quite strange, right? Or is it just me?

Netflix is going to make Harry Potter fans Very. Very. Happy.

Oh yes: on Sunday, the streaming service's Twitter account hinted that the Potter series is coming. Oh yes. Whether it will be a Christmas gift or if we can binge them fully only in 2020 is still not entirely clear; we are waiting for an official announcement. But shit is coming. And it’s gonna be good.
