Sin is the name of the game on “The Walking Dead.” In order to survive the zombie apocalypse, men and women are forced to kill not just the flesh-rotting walkers, but sometimes each other. It’s a dark, desolate world that only has room for dark, desolate people.

But there’s no one on “Walking Dead” more fixated on the nature of sin than Father Gabriel, the new character introduced in last week’s episode. Played by “The Wire” alum Seth Gilliam, Gabriel preaches the word of God, refuses to kill any walkers or humans, carries no weapons except for his faith, and lives inside a church all by himself. He’s also on somebody’s most-hated list, considering graffiti etched outside of his church that says: “You will burn for this.”

Burn for what, exactly? What is Gabriel’s great sin? What’s his secret? We don’t know just yet on the show, but we do know how the “Walking Dead” comic book answered Gabriel’s great mysteries. Read on if you want to find out, too.

Consider this your obligatory spoiler warning.

Last week, Rick Grimes and friends first encountered Gabriel in the woods, where he was about to become zombie food.

In the comics, Gabriel actually approaches Rick’s group all on his own, in broad daylight, under no duress, seeking food. His first words: “Greetings, brothers and sisters. Can you spare a moment to talk about the lord?”

As on the show, Gabriel travels without weapons.

Diplo is taking on baby daddy status … again!

The prolific, globetrotting DJ and producer is reportedly set to welcome his second child with Kathryn Lockhart, his former girlfriend. According to a report from the New York Daily News, Kathryn is due within the next couple of weeks and friends recently threw a baby shower for her.

Earlier this year, Diplo and Katy Perry were rumored to be dating. Although the two have offered no official confirmation of their relationship status, they were spotted cuddling up at Coachella, Jamaica, and Seth Meyers’ Emmy party. So far, there’s been no word from Katy on the matter.

Diplo himself has yet to comment on the news, aside from the fact that his current display name on Twitter is “Baby Daddy.” But in this day and age that’s practically a confirmation.

Diplo and his ex-sweetie already have one child together, 4-year-old Lockett. An insider spilled additional details, noting that although Diplo and Kathryn are not together, he is still active in Lockett’s life.

We imagine he’ll do the same for this new bundle of joy!

Iggy Azalea had us begging for it, eagerly awaiting her next single. The Aussie rapper made her musical debut on October 25th’s “Saturday Night Live” episode, performing “Beg For It” for the first time, from the upcoming reissue of her album Reclassified.

The track has a catchy beat the likes of “Fancy,” but features a new face in Danish singer MØ. While the single’s cover art skews 80s, Azalea and co. hit the stage clad in black, singing “I know you like the way I turn it up/I’m out here with my friends/Imma make you beg, Imma make you beg for it.”

Earlier in the night, Azalea was joined by Rita Ora for “Black Widow” after making an intro with “Fancy.” While smoke settled onstage Iggy rocked her varsity jacket with “Who Dat” on the back in front of a chain link fence.

But the rapper also got some screen time. In the office party Halloween sketch, Jim Carrey and Kate McKinnon both don nude leotards in costume as Maddie Ziegler from Sia’s “Chandelier” video. When they dance all over the 8H studio, they come across Azalea right before she performs. She rips off her coat to reveal the same outfit and platinum blonde wig.

At the end of the night Azalea had six thoughts on her “Saturday Night Live” fun. “1. I had so much fun doing the Halloween party skit 2. I loved the promo pictures but I wish they hadn’t photoshopped all my moles off ...

She’s played opposite him in two romantic comedies, which more than qualifies her for some serious immersion research, but even so: we’re a little shocked by Kate Hudson‘s spot-on impression of Matthew McConaughey.

McConaughey was the honoree at this year’s 28th American Cinematheque Award Gala Tribute, and his “Fool’s Gold” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” co-star ascended the stage to tell a story from the “Fools Gold” set, letting loose one seriously uncanny impersonation in the process.

Hudson set the scene, saying, “There was also a time when we were shooting ‘Fools Gold’ and we had to get certified…for scuba diving. …And we’re way out on the Great Barrier Reef, and I had just found out that my divorce had been finalized, I was terrified of swimming with sharks, and I was just staring at the water like, ‘What’s happened in my life?’

Then she painted the picture, explaining, “And then out of the water pops Matthew. No shirt, full gear, spits out the regulator. And he’s like…”

Even down to his physical gestures, Kate unleashes the brilliance, drawling, “Come on, Hudson – let’s go baby, uh huh. It’s like 1969 down there, baby, it’s Woodstock, man.”

Check out the brilliance for yourself in the below video. All hail Kate Hudson, queen of the McConaissance!

Kelly Clarkson paid tribute to Taylor Swift in the sweetest way! At her concert in Buffalo, New York last night (October 26), an event that was originally scheduled for the grand opening of the Microsoft store at Walden Galleria, Clarkson gave Swift’s “Shake It Off” a soulful, stripped-down vibe, before bursting into the peppiness of the original when it hit the chorus.

“I love that song!” Clarkson said. “Seriously, everyone gives Taylor such a hard time but she can write a hook—I’m just sayin’.”

For her part, Taylor was thrilled:

And she also continued her established routine of Instagramming some more lyrics from a specific song—but this choice seemed to carry extra weight. Just a day after Katy Perry’s 30th birthday, Tay Tay chose to share lyrics from “Bad Blood”—the song that’s rumored to be about her falling out with Katy.

At least Kelly and Taylor have their friendship established!

While promoting his latest film “John Wick,” Keanu Reeves let spill a hidden casting desire: he’s a fan of adamantium claws and tight black bodysuits. (We’re presuming.)

“I always wanted to play Wolverine,” the actor told Moviefone. “But I didn’t get that. And they have a great Wolverine now. I always wanted to play The Dark Knight. But I didn’t get that one. They’ve had some great Batmans. So now I’m just enjoying them as an audience.”

Our heads are spinning a little considering what could’ve been – a bulked-up Reeves in full-body black, bat-ear-clad head craned towards the sky to spy a batsignal, growling, “Woah” as he slides into his Batmobile and speeds away. Or a wild-haired, mutton-chopped Reeves accosted by a group of baddies, muttering, “Excellent” before unsheathing his metal claws and kicking butt.

Great, now we’re sad (Keanu).

The Hollywood casting process is as dramatic as its screenplays, it seems. For our part, we’re glad to see Reeves flexing his action chops with revenge thrillers like “John Wick” – and we’re still completely on board with “Bill and Ted 3.”

We especially love that Reeves is such a good sport in the face of disappointment, praising Jackman and Batmen of yore. The pressure’s on, Ben Affleck!

This may be the only time you ask yourself: ‘Is it Monday yet?’

That’s because Taylor Swift’s 1989 album is officially dropping, and it feels like we’ve been waiting our entire lives for October 27.

Now, Taylor has been nice enough to give us three tracks off the album, which all sound like perfection to my ears, but what else can you expect from her first all-pop LP?

Well, let us break it down for you. Here are 15 things you need to know about Taylor Swift’s brand-new 1989 album.

1. Welcome To New York

We may learn a lot about Taylor’s new love of her life: New York City. Calling it one of her biggest inspirations ever, she portrays a picture-perfect image of the “electric city” on the first track off the album, “Welcome To New York.” Oh, and get ready, because this is about to become the anthem for anyone looking to pack their bags and make the move.

2. And To The ’80s

Even though she was born in 1989, she probably doesn’t remember her short time in the fanny-pack, scrunchy era, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t influenced by the “endless possibility” that the late ’80s had to offer. Taylor told Rolling Stone that she was inspired by her favorite ’80s acts like Annie Lennox, Phil Collins and “Like Prayer”-era Madonna.”

3. It’s Still About Heartbreak

We know and love Shailene Woodley’s habit of saying somewhat surprising things. It’s all part of the “White Bird in a Blizzard” and “Divergent” actress’ charm. But how well do you know your Woodley quotes?

Sure, everybody loves the carefree vibes of Taylor Swift‘s debut 1989 single “Shake It Off,” but it’s the moody turbulence of her second single that really had people curious. “Out Of The Woods” is the song that most people have decided reference’s Taylor’s short-lived romance with One Direction‘s Harry Styles, and now Taylor has told us the slightly bizarre backstory that really pulled the song together.

It involves a ‘Gremlin voice’—something that only her songwriting partner Jack Antonoff could have known—which is why having him interview her in New York on Friday (October 24) was the best idea ever.

We didn’t know that a Gremlin was secretly inhabiting Swift’s gorgeous frame, but now it alllll makes sense. The age-old wisdom, the penchant for perfect, out-of-this-world phrases—it’s been actual magic all along.

A lot of you may have been confused when Lauren from “Faking It” revealed to her friends that she’s intersex on the MTV show of the same name. “What does that mean?” you may have wondered. Well, today is the day to find out. It’s Intersex Awareness Day, and there are tons of resources out there that can help you understand Lauren — as well as real-life people like her.

I don’t know about you all, but I was pretty surprised when Lauren — Amy’s prissy, closed-minded stepsister — made such a deep proclamation on the show, talking about how being born intersex has affected her life. Bailey De Young, who plays Lauren, teamed up with Emily Quinn, who is intersex, to create a PSA that ran later that night, explaining more about the condition. Quinn is consulting on the show and Lauren’s character, and also wrote an amazing story for MTV Act about what it’s like to be intersex.

According to intersex leadership group, Inter/Act, being intersex means that you were born with differences in your sexual characteristics — these differences can affect genes, chromosomes, genitalia, reproductive organs, hormones and also things like body hair and how much you sweat. Quinn has a condition called Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), which means she has XY chromosomes and internal testes, but has developed as a woman. Like Lauren on “Faking It,” she doesn’t have a uterus or ovaries, however, and ...
