Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny six-pound dog named Alistair who is looking for his forever home. At only one year old, this little boy is a sweet dog who is thought to be a Maltese, "but we can’t make any guarantees that he would be suitable for those with allergies," explains the nonprofit animal rescue.

(MA) Meet Teddy Twilight, an adorable little Shih Tzu mix pup who got dealt an unfortunate hand in life. This pup, along with his brother Enzo, were previously owned pups who were reportedly "very loved". Despite that, their "owners" decided they could no longer care for them, due to the fact that their "family was growing." Luckily, Great Dog Rescue New England was there to help, and now both pups, who are not a bonded pair, are living safely with foster families. Now, Teddy is ready to find his TRUE family that can actually give him the love and attention he so rightfully deserves.

Don’t miss Saturn at its biggest and brightest this week. Saturn is in opposition this weekend, which means that it’s on the opposite side of our planet from the Sun. When this happens, the Sun acts like a cosmic spotlight, lighting Saturn up brighter than usual — just in time for the ringed planet’s closest approach to Earth this year. Here’s how to catch Saturn in the spotlight:

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.

If you want to see the titular ghost Beetlejuice on screen more than fleetingly, watching the 1988 classic Beetlejuice or the new sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice might not give you your fix. Infamously, Beetlejuice himself only has 17 total minutes of screen time in the original film, and star Michael Keaton wanted to make sure the same was true for the sequel. In essence, the key to making a Beetlejuice film, it seems, is not too much Beetlejuice.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue organization in Massachusetts, has revealed they're still looking for a forever home for a gorgeous dog named Blazer. According to the nonprofit rescue organization, Blazer has had quite a journey. “Blazer was one of 7 dogs ‘saved’ by another rescue down in Texas and when he was just a young puppy. Then, he was abandoned by this ‘rescue’ and left in a boarding kennel for 9 months. He is now a little over a year old, and 55lbs.” Thanks to Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. for stepping in to help Blazer, he is now on the path to finding a family to love him.

For casual fans of The Lord of the Rings, the jolly character of Tom Bombadil serves as a quirky detour in the first half of the book version of The Fellowship of the Ring. But up until The Rings of Power Season 2, Bombadil had never appeared in any mainstream English-language movie or TV adaptation of Lord of the Rings, ever. That’s right, even Ralph Bakshi's 1978 version didn’t bother to include Old Tom, all of which certainly contribute to the mainstream perception that this character is inconsequential.

In addition to mystery box questions about the Stranger’s staff, the fate of the Dwarves, and the magic rings themselves, The Rings of Power Season 2 is strongly teasing that the identities of two mysterious wizards will be revealed very soon. Since Season 1, fans have put good money on Daniel Weyman’s The Stranger really being a younger Gandalf, and now, Season 2 has given us Ciarán Hinds as “The Dark Wizard,” who some fans are sure is Saruman, even if the timeline doesn’t quite match-up.

For better or worse, a good book often needs a great TV or movie adaptation to be truly famous. There’s no better proof of this than Stephen King, whose legendary bibliography has formed the basis of iconic movies like The Shining, It, and The Shawshank Redemption. But when you’ve written dozens upon dozens of books, not every one of them will be suited for another medium.

Nintendo rarely misses when it comes to new entries in its beloved high fantasy series, The Legend Of Zelda. And from the 45 minutes I got to play of the upcoming The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom, it's safe to say Nintendo’s about to do it again. Echoes Of Wisdom cleverly combines the design philosophies of both of last year’s Zelda games into what’s likely to be one of the best and most ingenious titles of 2024.

In many ways, Dune: Awakening feels like an exciting video game adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction work. It places players in the shoes of an individual in the Dune universe looking to etch out their place in the galactic struggle over the series' titular planet. It’ll feature a fun, alternate timeline to the iconic story. It wisely retains the gorgeous look and feel of Denis Villeneuve's film adaptation — a great way to ease in newer fans of the universe.
