Bill Cosby Sentenced to 3-10 Years in Prison
Bill Cosby was sentenced three to 10 years in a state prison on Tuesday for sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004, reported by Variety.
Judge Steven T. O'Neill from Montgomery Country denied Cosby's request for bail pending his appeal.
Cosby will need to serve the minimum time of three years under Pennsylvania law before he can be up for parole. The maximum sentence is five to 10 years in prison.
“This is a serious crime,” said O’Neill, who rejected the defense request for house arrest, partial confinement, and even a chance to serve the sentence in the county jail as opposed to state prison.
Joker Director Reveals New Photo of Joaquin Phoenix in Clown Costume and Makeup
Director of the upcoming Joker film Todd Phillips has posted another shot of Joaquin Phoenix in makeup on Instagram, though this time he is decidedly in a full clown costume.
The Instagram post is simply paired with the caption “Work” suggesting that this is Phoenix playing Arthur Fleck, the Joker prior to making his full transition into the Clown Prince of Crime. It appears that this version of the Joker worked as a literal clown, perhaps providing entertainment to audiences before being completely "disregarded by society."

Former Employees Sue Telltale for Breaking Labor Laws
A former Telltale Games employee is filing a class-action lawsuit against his former employer for reportedly breaking California labor laws in an attempt to properly compensate himself and the rest of its former employees that were laid off last Friday.
As reported by Polygon, former employee Vernie Roberts Jr. submitted the class-action lawsuit on Monday, citing Telltale’s violation of the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act for just cause of the lawsuit.

JK Rowling Squashes Years Old Incorrect Nagini Fan Theory (Again)
With the recent release of the final trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, which led to the reveal of Nagini being a Maledictus, J.K. Rowling took to Twitter to answer some fan theories.
One big theory that Rowling herself thought she squashed down years ago, was that Nagini was the boa constrictor from The Reptile House at the London Zoo in the very first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone.
Noooo... I thought I'd shot that one down! The escaped boa constrictor in Philosopher's Stone wasn't Nagini. It was never Nagini. That's an incorrect but very persistent fan theory! https://t.co/QEy89kwloA
Capcom: Resident Evil 2 Is Not Just a Remake, It’s a Brand New Entry in the Series
During IGN Japan’s Tokyo Game Show 2018 livestream, Resident Evil 2 producers Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and Tsuyoshi Kanda told us that Capcom sees the forthcoming remake as a brand new entry in the series.
The remake of the 1998 classic is being developed using Capcom’s RE Engine, which was first used for 2017’s Resident Evil 7. “Thanks to the engine, we were able to create gorgeous graphics as well as sound,” Hirabayashi told us. “As for the gameplay, we got a lot of feedback from Resident Evil 7.”
“RE Engine is a great engine for trial and error, so our experience with previous titles using the same engine has greatly enhanced the new Resident Evil 2,” Kanda added.
Bumblebee Actually Looks Like an ’80s G1 Transformers Movie
While Michael Bay’s Transformers movies have attracted their share of moviegoers and fans, they’ve always been pretty hit-or-miss with fans of the original toy line, cartoon series, and comics. However, with Bumblebee, it looks like that could change.
The trailers so far have mostly focused on the titular bug (who’s actually a VW bug, finally) but this newest one (seen below) really dumps out the whole toy chest, showing off a pile of fan-favorite 'bots, including Soundwave and his beloved dog/mixtape Ravage, Shockwave, a bunch of Decepticon jets, which may or may not include Starscream, Blitzwing, Thundercracker, Dirge, and/or Ramjet.
