For being one of the most anticipated movies of the Fall, Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” is playing it really close to the vest. While the other big films coming out in the next few months are worrying about film festivals and early awards, “Interstellar” is just chilling and being like “Want to see a poster with Matthew McConaughey in a space suit?”

If you watched the last trailer, this isn’t a totally earth-shattering look at the mysterious new Nolan film, but if you’re like me, you’ll take any peek you can get.

So far, we know that McConaughey is a member of a crew that heads into space looking for another hospitable planet after humans went and screwed up the perfectly good planet they ended up on. (I’m talking about Earth.)

From there, who knows? There’s definitely a wormhole involved, since the concept is based on the work of physicist Kip Thorne, who also theorized about time travel, so that’s another possibility.

“Interstellar” will finally hit theaters on November 7.

Oh, c’mon, it’s not like he’s a “Coke dealer.”

For as long as there have been public high schools, there have been rules against possessing certain substances — from tobacco to chewing gum for masking the stink of tobacco — and young capitalists willing to risk their diplomas for quick cash trafficking the contraband. And in our health-conscious age, the hallways of the black market are flowing with high-fructose corn syrup.

Which brings us to criminal mastermind “entrepreneur” Keenan Shaw, a 17-year-old student at Winston Churchill High School in Alberta, Canada, who has been suspended for providing an illicit product to adolescent caffeine junkies by distributing Pepsi cans out of his locker, reports Canada’s National Post. (Only diet soda is allowed, due to the district’s nutritional guidelines.)

He had sporadically gotten away with this scheme for nearly four years, earning $12 on each $5 case from the supermarket. (Which, we’re guessing, is a fortune worthy of a cartel in U.S. dollars. Kid probably spends millions just on rubber bands for his cash.) But like with his gangster predecessors Al Capone and Whitey Bulger, it was only a matter of time until the authorities caught up with him.

Superintendent Sheryl Gilmour defended the move to kick Shaw out of school, calling his soda-running plot a “steadfast refusal to follow school policies…it’s about refusing to comply with rules.”

But Shaw’s mother is sticking up for her delinquent hellspawn, telling the Lethbridge Herald, “From a business perspective, it’s smart.” ...

Beyoncé invited Nicki Minaj to join her on stage in Paris last week to perform their “Flawless (remix)” live for the first time, and fans weren’t the only ones freaking out when the Young Money rapper stepped onto the stage.

It was the final stop on Jay Z and Beyonce’s On the Run Tour, and the gravity of that wasn’t lost on Nicki.

“It was very emotional for me to be there because it was a big show, the last big Beyonce and Jay Z [show] so I was very honored to be a part of it,” she said during an interview with Paris radio station SkyRock FM.

“To me, they represent drive and passion and they represent everything that I would like to be, in terms of being an artist and a businesswoman at the same time,” Nicki added.

The “Anaconda” rapper said she was so surprised by the crowd’s warm reaction when she walked out on stage, that now she’s really looking forward to performing in Paris when her tour starts up early next year.

“They were so loud and I really wasn’t expecting that. I couldn’t hear the music, I couldn’t hear myself when I first came out,” she said. “It made me feel great, it made me want to come back with my own tour, which we’re doing at the top of the year. I can’t wait to give fans a full show of my own.”

Paris, hope you’re ready for this.

Heidi Montag, who served as the maid of honor at her older sister Holly’s wedding on the same day as Lauren’s milestone occasion, tweeted this sweet message to her old roommate and past pal:

While we don’t see a response to Spencer Pratt‘s wife on Lauren’s feed (she could have sent a direct message), Mrs. Tell did take a moment to reply to a short note from Heidi’s sister-in-law Stephanie Pratt:

Frankie Delgado, who has been one of Lauren’s most trusted allies throughout the years, was in attendance and posted our ONLY GLIMPSE SO FAR, that we could find at least, from the Conrad-Tell nuptials:

“Congratulations to Mr. William Tell and Mrs. Lauren Tell aka (@laurenconrad) #APERFECTMATCH is exactly what u are.. Thank you for letting me be part of your beautiful wedding, now go have a baby so my daughter can have someone to play with!” he added along with the simple snapshot above.
