#PeeWeeHerman

o   Paul Reubens, the actor and comedian known as Pee-wee Herman, died Sunday.

o   He was known for his tight gray suit with a red bow tie, his signature laugh, the film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and Saturday morning television show “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.”

o   He had been privately struggling with cancer for six years.

o   In a statement released with the announcement of his death yesterday, he said, “Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years. I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”

#OliviaRodrigo

o   The singer is teasing us with some clues to her upcoming album, Guts.

o   She posted a video on social media that shows her hanging out in a bedroom, doing things from playing on an electric keyboard, to typing on a typewriter.

o   At the end of the clip, you can hear an unreleased song playing.

o   But it’s the true fans that realized that there are words and phrases hidden all over the room, which they think are song titles.

o   Some of the phrases that were seen include “Bad idea right,” “ Now I hold it like a grudge,” “Stranger,” “Obsessed,” and “Book Club.”

o   The new album arrives on September 8th.

o   Her lead single “Vampire” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
