Congress couldn't get it together enough to agree on something, and now foreign tourists are going to miss their one chance to see the Statue of Liberty. The government has shut down (mostly)!

This is a little tricky to wrap your brain around -- Jason Alexander teaching Larry David how to play George Costanza. It's the actor who played George Costanza on 'Seinfeld' teaching the creator of Costanza how to play Costanza while filming the 'Seinfeld' reunion on an episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' even though Costanza is his alter-ego.

Yup, Bill Nye the Science Guy is going to be on season 17 of 'Dancing With the Stars.' We think he's going to win. Not just because we're looking for some sort of 'Revenge of the Nerds'-type fantasy to play out (well, mostly that), but also because Nye has got some moves. Don't believe us? Fine, we're used to that. Check out these GIFs.

With enough money, you can pay two famous stuntwomen to reenact the epic chicken fight scene from 'Family Guy.' That's what happened here.
