Shocker: ALEC BALDWIN now says he never pulled the trigger of the gun that shot director of photography HALYNA HUTCHINS on the set of "Rust." Baldwin told ABC News "The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger." The interview will air tonight (Thursday), and in it, Baldwin says he has no idea how a live bullet got in the gun he used in the scene. "Someone put a live bullet in the gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property," he says.
TMI: News that actor BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH never bathed while playing a cowboy in the movie "Power of the Dog." And he also reportedly asked the wardrobe department not to wash his costumes, either. He claims his "smell" was a big part of his character as a rancher: "I had a biohazard zone around me. It was not a good time to cuddle up to Cumberbatch and take a selfie" he says.

Could you spend a night in the house from "Home Alone"? If you can, better apply online at AIRBNB. Bookings start December 7th for the December 12th stay, and you'll be all alone because the McCallister family that owns the house will be away for the night. Four people will be allowed in and it'll only cost you $25 ...plus the cost of getting to Chicago, of course. And, for the four lucky winners, they'll give you a 'Home Alone' LEGO kit to bring home. The folks at AirBNB will also be making a donation to Chicago's La Rabida Children's Hospital to mark the event.
Tube Talk: Variety reports AMC has ordered a series based on the ANNE RICE novels “Lives of the Mayfair Witches.” The eight episodes will focus on a young neurosurgeon who finds out she's the unlikely heir to a family of witches.
