This news is more roses than thorns for A Court of Thorns and Roses fans — Hulu's TV adaptation of Sarah J. Maas' highly-popular romantasy book series is not dead, despite recent reports stating otherwise. Sources close to the situation confirmed to EW that the long-delayed project has not been scrapped and is still in development. So don't worry, ACOTAR fans — the magic of an onscreen adaptation is still on track to become reality.

Three decades after World War II, Nazis remain an urgent threat to America in Hunters, Amazon's new 10-part series about a crew of 1970s vigilantes—led by Al Pacino, in a wonderfully badass role—determined to find and eliminate Hitler acolytes secretly operating amongst us. A story about domestic white-nationalist terror and the brutal lengths one must go to stop it, creator David Weil and executive producer Jordan Peele's show is at once a The Boys from Brazil-via-Inglourious Basterds revisionist history B-movie and an all-too-timely period-piece saga about resistance, revenge, and survival—and thus a stark corrective to recent Oscar winner Jojo Rabbit.

As coverage continues of the devastation left in Hurricane Sandy’s wake, we asked Weather Channel field reporter Eric Fisher, who began the storm in Rhode Island and then made his way to New York City, to describe his experience. By Eric Fisher I was at my desk on Oct. 15 when I called over a co-worker to ogle my computer screen. It’s not what you think; we were looking at computer models.

When playing strippers, the most important skill to learn is, of course, how to pole dance. And it turns out, acquiring that skill is a lot more difficult than you’d imagine, even if you’re as talented as Jennifer Lopez, Lili Reinhart, Constance Wu, and Keke Palmer! When the stars of the upcoming movie Hustlers sat down with EW for a Facebook Live conversation on Saturday, it quickly got wild when the topic of how they all learned to pole dance for the movie came up.

Let’s talk about the most important thing first: Adam Levine has bleached his hair. Not to a light dusting of blonde that might grace one’s tips in the late ’90s, but no, full blonde that calls for a host of comparisons to a slew of familiar blonde faces. Bruce Willis in The Fifth Element. Billy Idol. Tilda Swinton. Meg Ryan. The Goombas in the Super Mario Bros. movie. Rolf in The Sound of Music.

There are movies we’ll watch every time we spot them on cable because we love them. For me, that’s Apollo 13. Then, there are movies that we’ll get sucked into because it’s summer and there’s nothing else on. This is particularly dangerous if you have the HBO family of channels — East and West feeds. The film that’s currently in heavy rotation is Pitch Perfect, which is genuinely great and therefore guilt-free — until you catch yourself tweeting about having a “toner” for Jesse (Skylar Astin), suddenly noticing how well that T-shirt fit him in the dorm room, and thinking of songs that could have LEGALLY followed his rendition of “Feels Like the First Time” in the Riff Off (“Like a Virgin, touched for the very first time” — if it hadn’t been used in an earlier round).

The cute, virginal nerd who triumphs in the pleasantly low-key teen comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper fulfills an ambition at once more chaste and more daring than the sexual goals set by the cute, virginal nerds who ruled in Superbad: Right up there on the stage at Buffalo Grove High School’s graduation, valedictorian Denis Cooverman (comedy improv regular Paul Rust, from the Adrien Brody school of proboscic grandeur) makes the title declaration to the object of his unrequited affection (Heroes‘ Hayden Panettiere), a tough little pistol of a cheerleader.

Watching I’ll Do Anything (Columbia, PG-13), the new movie written and directed by James L. Brooks, I kept thinking of a friend who’s become a convert to the brave new world of trendy low-fat cooking — you know, healthy food that’s every bit as delicious as the old high-calorie decadence (or so the recipe books tell you). With a satisfaction bordering on mania, my friend whips up pasta with just a dab of olive oil, desserts bereft of butter or cream.

The Vampire Diaries is at its best when there are group activities, romantic speeches, Salvatore road trips, and shocking twists. And this episode had all of the above, plus a TVD twist on the Game of Thrones red wedding and a freakishly attractive villain. In other words, this hour felt like the TVD we know and love. This hour felt like a penultimate hour. This hour was also horrifically devastating. Must all of Alaric’s girlfriends/wives die?

Jonathan Baker isn’t a reality-competition villain. He just plays one on TV. So claims the Amazing Race contestant, who insists he’s not the abusive husband he seems to be on the reality program. Though the show’s creators have been unusually vocal about his harsh on-air treatment of wife Victoria Fuller, Baker insists that the drama is all manufactured for the cameras — or at least that he’s not to blame for it.
