Zelda: Breath of the Wild Has an Official Place in the Series’ Timeline… Sort Of
The Legend of Zelda series timeline has recently been updated to include Breath of the Wild, but it's not as revelatory as you might think.
Nintendo's Japanese website has been updated with the new timeline, and Breath of the Wild sits at the end, unconnected to any of the other three timelines. In an interview with Famitsu, (translated by Siliconera), Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi says exactly which timeline it rounds out is "up to the player’s imagination."

Guardians’ Dave Bautista Calls Working for Disney Nauseating Post James Gunn’s Firing
Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista has once again voiced his support for fired Guardians director James Gunn, saying that working for Disney is "pretty nauseating" after the incident.
Bautista, who plays Guardians of the Galaxy's Drax, said that he is legally obligated to return to Guardians, but the series without James Gunn is not what he signed up for.
"I will do what Im legally obligated to do but @Guardians without @JamesGunn is not what I signed up for," Bautista tweeted on Sunday when asked if he had a response for Disney. "GOTG w/o @JamesGunn just isn’t GOTG. Its also pretty nauseating to work for someone who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis . That’s just how I feel."
Negan from The Walking Dead Joins Tekken 7
Season 2 of the Tekken 7 Season Pass will introduce Negan from AMC's The Walking Dead, among other fighters.
'The charismatic yet sinister' Negan is introduced via some character art in the reveal trailer, so we are yet to learn about his fighting style.
Other new fighters include series veterans Anna Williams, the personal bodyguard of Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams' sister, and Lei Wulong, who will bring his tiger, crane, leopard, snake, and dragon fighting styles to the ring.
Tekken 7 Season Pass 2 is "coming soon". Tekken 7 was released last year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and we called it "is a hallmark fighting game that's both accessible and highly technical," in our review.

CBS Boss Talks Moonves Investigation: ‘Allegations Are Being Taken Seriously’
CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl spent most of his executive session at the Television Critics Association summer press tour addressing questions about the sexual harassment allegations leveled against CBS CEO Leslie Moonves.
In a recent New Yorker report from Ronan Farrow, six women accused Moonves of sexual harassment between the 1980s and late aughts, while dozens more alleged a culture of harassment, intimidation and complicity, which reportedly extended from Moonves to the CBS News division and one of the network's top-rated shows, 60 Minutes. According to the New Yorker report, "19 current and former employees alleged that Jeff Fager, the former chairman of CBS News and the current executive producer of 60 Minutes, allowed harassment in the division."
