This coming Sunday night is when Daylight Saving Time ends... which means you'll get an extra hour of sleep Sunday night. That's the good part --the bad part is that it'll get dark earlier. FYI: Daylight saving time is back again next March 13th.
We're outta names for Hurricanes. Again. The National Weather Service named Subtropical Storm Wanda over the weekend, but there's no more names for this Hurricane season --so if any more storms form, the weather service will have to use one of the names on their supplemental list. That's only happened twice, once in 2005 and again last year. The Atlantic hurricane season ends on November 30th.
Are you a "Happy Days" fan? Then maybe you'd be interested in bidding on HENRY WINKLER's leather jacket he wore as "Fonzie" on the TV series. The jacket will be sold as part of a sale December 8th at Bonhams Los Angeles store. But bring along your checkbook. Sources say the jacket will be sold as part of a complete Fonzie outfit that includes an original pair of blue jeans, T-shirt and biker boots; the grouping has an estimate of $50,000 to $70,000.

Tube talk: The Hollywood Reporter says EUGENE LEVY will be hosting a new travel show for Apple+ called "The Reluctant Traveler." Levy, who starred in "Schitt’s Creek," will be focusing on some of the world's most remarkable hotels, as well as exploring the people, places and cultures that surround them.
Music news: KISS have cancelled their planned 12-show Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood, which was set to begin this December and run thru early February. The band is currently on their "KISS Kruise," which began last Friday, and have not given a reason for the cancellation. Various sources say it may have stemmed from the recent death of one of their guitar techs, who passed away from COVID-19 in mid-October, and problems with safety and health protocols on their recent North American tour during which both PAUL STANLEY and GENE SIMMONS came down with COVID.
Bravo announced Monday that they will be expanding their "Real Housewives" franchise for an 11th series, called "The Real Housewives of Dubai," which will premiere in 2022. No cast has been named, but the network says the cast will show off their "supremely lavish and ultra-wealthy lifestyles in the United Arab Emirates."

KAL PENN announced yesterday that he was gay, and revealed that he's engaged to be married. The "Harold and Kumar" and "House" star gave the press details ahead of his new, tell-all memoir, "You Can't Be Serious," which is in bookstores today. He told People magazine over the weekend he's engaged to Josh, his partner of 11 years and felt "very supported" when he came out to his parents and close friends, saying "I know this sounds jokey, but it's true: When you've already told your Indian parents and the South Asian community that you intend to be an actor for a living, really any conversations that come after that are super easy."
