Evan Peters on the time he accidentally showed Jessica Lange his ...


Evan Peters’ Own American Horror Story: Watch Actor Squirm Over Season 6 Questions

Evan Peters has shown a great range of acting skill on American Horror Story, but behind the scenes, hes showing off some skin, too.

Peters revealed on Conan Tuesday night that he had accidentally flashed costar Jessica Lange his genitalia for an entire scene without even knowing it.

Wow, this is terrible, Peters told Conan OBrien. I basically am leaned over Jessica Langes desk in a hospital gown, bare-a*s, so I put a c sock on.

For those unfamiliar, thats a term, a rather crass term, a technical term. Its supposed to cover the entire genital region, OBrien explained.

I put it on, and we did the scene, and afterward, Sarah [Paulson] comes up to me, kisses me on the cheek, and is like, Oh, sweetheart, its OK. Peters recalled. And I was like, What, was I that bad? And I look over and Ms. Lange is telling the PA that apparently my b***s were in her face the whole shot. Apparently a c sock is not just a c sock, its a c and ball sock. So lesson learned. Youve got to swoop down and sheathe the b***s as well.

OBrien urged Peters to demonstrate to him just what a c sock was supposed to do, and had Peters draw a diagram of the whole thing, though it was too inappropriate to reveal to the audience.

It just looks like a mouse running into a net, OBrien said of Peters drawing.

Watch Peters relive the embarrassing experience below.

Here"s the first details on Hugh Jackman"s last Wolverine movie, "Logan"


Jenn McAllister and Logan Paul Present Actor - Streamy Awards 2016

Director James Mangold and actor Hugh Jackman have just revealed new information about the upcoming third (and final) Wolverine film, including its title - Logan. But some other information has us worried about the fate of our clawed friend.

Jackman has been playing Wolverine for seventeen years, so we can"t be too sad that the newly named Logan, debuting March 3, 2017, will be his last time playing the character. Jackman posted a photo of the first poster in the wild this morning...

And then Mangold tweeted the actual poster.

Mangold (@mang0ld) October 5, 2016

Oh G*d, my heart. Mangold also tweeted a look at the second page of the film"s script which doesn"t give away a lot of dialogue but a lot of what we can expect from Logan.

Mangold (@mang0ld) October 5, 2016

"Now might be a good time to talk about the "fights" described in the next 100 or so pages. Basically, if you"re on the make for a hyper choreographed, gravity defying, city-block destroying, CG fuckathon, this ain"t your movie," he writes. "In this flick, people will get hurt or killed when s**t falls on them. They will get just as hurt or just as killed if they get hit with something big and heavy like, say, a car. Should anyone in our story have the misfortune to fall off a roof or out a window, they won"t bounce. They will die."

Ok, point taken. This film will be more down to Earth than recent superhero outings. But then he goes on, "As for our hero, well, he"s older now and it"s clear his abilities aren"t what they once were. He"s fading on the inside and his diminished healing factor keeps him in a constant state of chronic pain - hence booze as a painkiller. So by all means, go ahead and worry about him."

Uh oh. While I"m sure Fox isn"t ready to let go of the Wolverine IP anytime soon, with Jackman done could we see his death in this film? They could certainly use a "death" as a way to start over with a new actor in the role down the line.

Ok, let"s try not to think about that for a while. How about we lighten the mood? Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds chimed in on the new poster.

That"s my hand holding Logan"s in the new poster. #tender

Fla. Governor: Watch The Weather Channel


Patcnews Oct 2, 2016 Reports The Weather Channel And National Weather Center Hurricane Update

Florida Gov. Rick Scott had some emergency preparedness information for residents of his state: Watch The Weather Channel as hurricane Matthew barrels. potentially, toward the Florida coast as a category 4 storm with winds of 140 mph.

Admittedly Scott was being interviewed on The Weather Channel at the time, but he said that the most important thing Florida residents can do is follow the local news, and he called out the channel at least three times as a go-to source.

"Follow The Weather Channel. Listen to The Weather Channel. When you do, you will be informed," Scott said at one point when asked what residents should do.

Scott has also been coordinating with telecommunications companies and urging them to work together if the storm hits the Florida coast, or even further inland as the European model suggests.

How to get beer in Pennsylvania


Breaking: Hurricane Matthew a CAT 5 / 137kt-923mb / Florida impact

From state-run liquor stores to beer cafes, Pennsylvania"s unique alcohol laws have created some unusual scenarios.

From teetotaling Puritans to Prohibition-era bootleggers, the United States has had a storied history with alcoholic beverages.

Pennsylvaniais far from being the only state withpeculiar liquor laws. However, its state-run wine and liquor stores and regulated beer sales have caused someodd circumstances for retailers and and customers alike.

Whether you like to sip onbeer, wine orspirits, here are some things you"ll probably only do when drinking in Pennsylvania.

1. Walk into a grocery store througha separateentrance for beer sales

In manystates, you can enteragrocery store and findbeerin an aisle just like any other product.In Pennsylvania, however, supermarkets areprohibited from selling beer, wine and spirits.

Some grocery stores have found a clever way to sell beer anyway. By puttingrestaurants within the supermarkets, grocers were able toacquirebeer sale licenses and sell beer the same way any bar or restaurant would.

"Technically when you buy beer in a grocery store, you"re really buying it in a restaurant," said Jason High, chief of staff for state Senator Scott Wagner, R-Spring Garden Township, who is leading a push torevamp the state"s liquor code.

Giant Food Stores has opened 18"Beer Garden and Eatery" locations within its Pennsylvania grocery stores, including onein York County, andWeis Markets has opened 41 beer cafesites, including sixin York County.

The stores, which sell beer by the six-pack or individually, are required to have separate cash registers and entrances, saidDennis Curtain, Weis Markets spokesman.

2. Plan ahead to buy liquor and wine

Wine and liquor laws vary from state to state. In many states, it"s common to see wine orhard liquor for sale in supermarkets or convenience stores.

In Pennsylvania, however,shoppers had better plan ahead if they want to break out the bubbly for New Year"s Eve or any other holiday.Their main option forliquor and wineis"the state store," a colloquial termfor one of Pennsylvania"s603Fine Wine & Good Spirits retailers.

The state-run wine and liquor stores are closed on many major holidays, including Christmas Day, New Year"s Day, Presidents" Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day andVeterans Day, said Elizabeth Brassell, Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board spokeswoman. In addition, the stores often set limited hours around other holidays, she said.

The board has been pushing to increase the appeal of the stores, Brassell said.

"Instead of the stark white linoleum and harsh fluorescent lighting, were moving toward a more comfortable, inviting environment, where customers want to spend more time," she said.

Still, the state liquor storesremaina divisive topic among legislators. Some see the business, which did$1.86 billion in after-tax sales duringfiscal year 2014 to 2015, as a reliable source of revenue for the state.Others, such as Wagner, want to dismantle the state system and privatize sales.

3. Make several trips from the bar to your vehicle

It doesn"t matter how buffyou are. You aren"t allowed to walkout of a bar carrying more than two six-packs of beer.

In Pennsylvania, establishments with beer licenses may sell carry-out beer, but those purchases are limited to 192 fluid ounces, Brassell said. That"s as much as two six-packs of 16-ounce beer cans.

Thatlimit has been set since 1987, and is actually an increase from a previous law from 1949 that allowed only 144 ounces of beer, or two six-packs of 12-ounce beers bottles or cans,she said.

Fortunately for those who want to chalk up more miles on their Fitbits, there"s an easy way around thisregulation. Walk outside, put the beer in your car, come back inside and buy two more six packs.

"It is a per-transaction limitation," Brassell said. "There are no restrictions to making multiple trips or transactions to purchase carry-out beer."

3. Go to a "beer distributor"

Beer sales aren"t only separated from wine and liquor sales. In Pennsylvania, beer sales are also regulated by quantity. To purchasea case of beer, your only option is to go to the "beer distributor."

Unlike liquor and wine stores, beer distributors are privately owned. Distributors have a different license, which allows them to sell kegs and cases, Brassell said.A case of beer usually contains 24 cans or bottles, though some may have more or less.

Distributors are notallowed to sell six-packs, so anyone who shops there had betterbe sure they like whatever brand they buy.

However, distributor regulations changeda bit last year.A legal advisement determined that distributors were permitted to sell 12-packs of beeras long as they were in their original packaging, Brassell said.

And now, Gov. Tom Wolf wants gas stations to be able to sell beer.

5. "Bootleg" alcohol into Pennsylvania from Maryland

With York County so close to the Maryland line, it may be tempting to cross the Mason-Dixon to purchase your hard drinks.

That, however, would make you a criminal.

"State laws (liquor and tax laws) have prohibited the possession of wine, liquor and beer purchased out of state since Prohibition," Brassell said by email.

A bottle of wine, though, isunlikely to result in any criminal proceedings.State police don"t "actively enforce" the law, saidJames Lynam, Harrisburg district office commander of Harrisburg State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement.

However, if the illegal transport of alcohol was brought to police attention, they would investigate it, he said.

You put a little common sense into it," Lynam said. "If we discover that a licensee in the commonwealth is saving money by getting liquor outside of the commonwealth, thats a whole different story than if someone was vacationing, bought a case of beer, and brought some of that back.

Blake Dowling: Hermine rocks Tallahassee; scenes from the hurricane


Florida governor on Hurricane Matthew: ‘You must leave before it’s too late’

Hermine rocked Tallahassee in a big way.

Floridas capital city is still reeling with thousands of businesses and homes without power. I awoke Friday morning at 6 a.m. to a scene from the set of The Walking Dead. My home had no power.

As I attempted to leave, several downed trees were blocking the driveway. So tree removal became Chore 1of the day. Next, on to the office.

I drove down Sixth Street avoiding trees and power lines and pulled into ourdebris-ridden lot. I grabbed my flashlight and made a to-do list; we forwarded all phones to emergency lines and began checking on staff.

Everyone reported back (with one member MIA), as we went about trying to get some work done.

Then I decided to walk down to Whataburger for breakfast for staff members at the office; It was my third indication that it was going to be a long next few days.

No taquitos a fact I posted on Twitter, which was picked up by ABC News (more on that another time).

Now that it was light outside, I returned to my house to assess the damage.

Everywhere in the yard, limbs were down, some missing the home by only a few feet; others were rocketed a foot into the ground like King Arthurs legendary Sword in the Stone.

Then I saw my neighbors house, where a huge tree landed right down the middle. Yikes. Destruction was everywhere.

I received a call from the MIA staff member, who was a little freaked out. He told me a tree crashed into his home. I said I would be there in a minute to check on him.

A tree had ripped through his bedroom as he slept, tearing a massive hole in the roof. Amazingly, he was not injured. He was extremely fortunate, as one of the tree branches crashed into his bed right by his head. As we stood in his yard to discuss the events of the evening, you began to see neighbors and strangers helping each other clean up and offer assistance.

The staff member whose house was destroyed even shared a funny story.

A police officer knocked on his door at dawn, asking: Sir, are you aware there is a tree smashed into your home?

Yes, sir, he replied.

We all had a good laugh at that one. But no insult was intended to anyone during this time. First responders were on the scene all over town checking on the well-being of our citizens.

As I returned to the house, the neighborhood was out in force, cleaning up yards and streets.

I have not visited with my neighbors much over the years. Everyone was asking if others were OK, and if anyone needed any help.

It was pretty cool, among all the chaos, to see the good side of human nature and the power of the human spirit. The staff member I mentioned earlier whose home was destroyed the night before stopped by my house with an extra case of water. What a heart of gold.

Tragedy can bring out the best in people; in this instance, that is exactly what happened. Thank goodness, we did not hear many stories of looting or other troubles.

I think the only negative story I heard during that time is the feud between the governor and the mayor (save the anger and bickering guys, we need you on the same page during a crisis, not pointing fingers in public. Keep it behind closed doors).

Technology really helped us make it through the storm with our clients. With only a few tablets and mobile phones, we were able to keep several b***s in the air simultaneously Friday for those needing technical support.

Beer distributors (beer must flow), insurance, roofers; businesses that needed to be open, stayed open. Then came Saturday, and the power was back. We continued to provide service for those needing help.

On the homefront, I was able to hitch my smartphone to the TV, watching in full high-definition our local football hero John Burt and the Texas Longhorns whoop up on Notre Dame. What a game.

And, of course, with limited tech at home, we had endless amounts of family bonding. Now, we are all caught up on everything in each others lives. For anyone with teenagers, you know this kind of opportunity is rare. And we all worked together all weekend, hand-in-hand, to clean up the debris covering the yard and roof.

Back to the business world.

Sunday, I spoke with Paul Watts, whose company, Electronet, provides internet. He was checking in on some mutual clients, and let me know they had been running a generator for three days. By burning a lot of diesel, they kept our customers (and his) up and running. Nice job, sir.

When preparing for the next crisis that could face our community, make sure disaster recovery plans are clear.

In the case of damage to your office, establish a rallying point. And, depending on your line of work, get a generator. Have call-forwarding protocols ready, and set up redundant backups of your data both local and in the cloud.

Disaster will strike again, so make sure you are ready.

In closing, I would like to offer huge thanks to all of those who spent the holiday weekend helping others.

This Instagram post from my friend Heather sums it up nicely:
