Chris Noth Reportedly Edited Out of the And Just Like That … Finale – Vulture

Big is already scary enough without him being a spooky ghost. But that’s exactly how he was meant to appear in the finale of HBO Max’s And Just Like That …. The Sex and the City reboot had shot footage of Chris Noth’s character, Mr. Big, reuniting with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) from beyond the grave as a “fantasy element.” But TVLine reports that the show’s creative team has decided to cut his footage from the episode in light of the multiple sexual assault allegations made against Noth in the past month.

Book of Boba Fett episode 2 has a black wookiee and other familiar faces – Polygon

The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode dragged the bounty hunter-turned crime lord further into the sands of Tatooine and the planet’s seedy underbelly.

New bird flu has higher risk of spread to humans: Animal health director – AOL

  PARIS (Reuters) - A wave of bird flu in Asia and Europe has a greater risk of spreading to humans because of a high number of variants, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) said.    The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has raised concern among governments and the poultry industry after previous outbreaks led to the culling of tens of millions of birds and trade restrictions.    "This time the situation is more difficult and more risky because we see more variants emerge, which make them harder to follow," OIE Director General Monique Eloit told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday.    "Eventually the risk is that it mutates or that it mixes with a human flu virus that can be transmitted between humans then suddenly it takes on a new dimens...
