LOVE IT

• London’s Heathrow Airport installed a “scent globe” so travelers can get a whiff of different destinations–like coconut for Thailand and coffee for Brazil.

• Netflix announced that it would turn Lemony Snicket’s beloved A Series of Unfortunate Events books into a TV show.

• Entertainment Weekly’s annual reunion issue featured the casts of Mean Girls and Ghostbusters.

• Rihanna went on an Instagram spree at the White House, where she posed as Scandal’s Olivia Pope.

VERBATIM

‘It felt like The Hunger Games … People are critiquing and judging, cheering for more.’

GABRIELLE UNION, actress, opening up in an essay for Cosmopolitan about how she felt after her intimate photos were leaked online–as part of the recent Hollywood hacking scandal–the day after her wedding

THE DIGITS

$80,900

Fine that Justin Bieber paid his former neighbors after egging their house in January; the money covered the damage to their Los Angeles–area home

TOON IN

Japan’s anime cartoons may sometimes look like lowbrow kids’ entertainment, but as the artist Mr. (born Masakatsu Iwamoto) shows with paintings like Three Best Friends (2010), above, they can be fine art too. See Mr.’s first U.S. retrospective at the Asian Art Museum in Seattle from Nov. 22 to April 5.

QUICK TALK

Fergie

The 39-year-old Black Eyed Peas star is back with a new solo single, “L.A. Love (La La),” a new album (coming next year) and a new role working with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, which offers a variety of services to at-risk LGBTQ youth. (“It’s important to address this group,” she says.) Here, the singer talks with TIME.

–NOLAN FEENEY

You coined several new phrases–including Fergalicious–on your last album, The Dutchess, which came out in 2006. What’s on deck for this one, due early next year?

You’ll have to wait and see. I don’t like to talk about my music before you hear it. It’s just not my style. But I can talk about “L.A. Love”!

Then let’s do that!

When I say the lyric “Just got to New York like a Net on a jet,” a lot of people didn’t realize I’m talking about the [Brooklyn Nets] basketball team. It’s not, like, a girl named Annette.

Does that happen a lot? People mishearing your lyrics?

Yeah. In “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” I was going back to when I was a little girl, and I say, “We’ll play jacks and Uno cards.” You know, jacks with the ball and those little metallic toy items that you throw? It’s a vintage game.

I am familiar.

A lot of people thought I was saying, “We’ll play Jackson Uno cards,” like some friend named Jackson!

Some critics have said that “L.A. Love” sounds like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” because of its singsongy rap style, which you popularized in the mid-2000s. What do you make of that?

I think it is quite the compliment. I love girls stepping outside of the box and doing something that’s unexpected of them. That’s what I’m all about.

“ON MY RADAR

• Sons of Anarchy

“It’s really hardcore this last season.”

• Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

“I cook while I watch and pretend I’m making what he’s eating.”

LEG WORK

No one shot shoes quite like French photographer Guy Bourdin, whose footwear campaigns for Charles Jourdan received a lot of attention in the 1970s–and not always the good kind. The ads, which often featured disembodied women’s legs (as above) or women’s legs in positions suggestive of sexual violence (one image shows three tied to a train track), were viewed as both sexist and groundbreaking. See Bourdin’s work at London’s Somerset House from Nov. 27 to March 15.

ROUNDUP

Fantastic Fourquels?

When Disney announced that Toy Story would return for a fourth chapter in 2017, fans were equal parts elated and concerned. The fourquel, after all, is historically tricky territory; even with a good director (John Lasseter is back for Toy Story 4), it’s hard to up the ante again and again. Here’s how some have fared:

BAD

GOOD

TERMINATOR SALVATION

The Christian Bale vehicle made more news for Bale’s behavior on set than for its plot, or lack thereof; it got panned for repetitive fight scenes.

SCRE4M

After 11 years away, the slasher series couldn’t scare up much enthusiasm: it did a tepid $38 million at the U.S. box office.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

It wasn’t Indy’s finest hour, but the combination of Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and then rising star Shia LaBeouf added up to a major commercial hit.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE–GHOST PROTOCOL

This movie managed to revive both a franchise and Tom Cruise’s career. Thank visionary director Brad Bird–and a terrifying stunt on a Dubai skyscraper.

STAR WARS: EPISODE I

Sure, Jar Jar was annoying. But the excitement around this movie kicked off a Star Wars revival that continues with next year’s seventh installment.

LEAVE IT

• A woman won gold in a national baking competition by making a life-size Jennifer Lawrence cake.

• Toy company Herobuilders .com started selling an Ebola-free nurse doll that some say bears a striking resemblance to real-life Ebola-free nurse Kaci Hickox.

• Pepsi is testing Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew.
