As Mike noted in Saturday’s column, reports of Tom Hardy being fired from MobLand might not be entirely accurate, only because there won’t be a show to be fired from if the third season isn’t picked up. That quibble hasn’t stopped increased reports of Hardy’s on-set behavior, which will sound familiar to anyone who remembers what Charlize Theron went through while filming Mad Max: Fury Road. This time around, Hardy’s behavior reportedly angered Helen Mirren, which may have been the nail in his coffin. - (Daily Mail)

Ice cream extends lives - PROOF! It’s basically medicinal.
This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: magnificent_foster_dogs)
