FLORENCE CONFIRMS IT: SHE AND ZACH BRAFF ARE OVER _ Florence Pugh has confirmed that she and Zach Braff have split up.

NETFLIX ANNOUNCES MANIFEST SEASON 4 RELEASE DATE _ Netflix has released a season four teaser for Manifest. It’s been two years since Manifest fans had their hearts broken. After a third-season cliffhanger, NBC chose not to renew the hit show for a fourth installment, but Netflix responded to the viewer outcry by picking up the series. Along with a trailer, the streaming service announced that the fourth season will land on November 4. • VIDEO

… The announcement is somewhat bittersweet, as Netflix also confirmed that the fourth season will be the final one for Manifest.

 

HARRY STYLES STOPS SHOW BECAUSE OF NUGGETS _ Harry Styles is the latest musician to fall victim to rowdy crowds who let it fly at concerts. The singer was performing at Madison Square Garden Saturday night and at some point in his set he pumped the brakes on the show and addressed some thrown objects onstage. Specifically, a couple of chicken nuggets.

… In video shared online he seems kinda entertained by the fact someone chucked at least two of these at his feet, calling it a clever ploy to get his attention. He then asks the audience, who threw it? It sounds like Harry might’ve actually identified the culprit because he ended up throwing at least one nugget back. Before that though, he noted that he doesn’t actually eat them because he doesn’t eat meat at all. • VIDEO
