HBO's new 10-episode western sci-fi thriller remake of the 1973 movie "Westworld" took an awfully long time and a big old pile of money to see the light of day. But it looks like it might've been worth it.

And: On Monday, Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris prompting Kanye West to cancel a concert in Queens mid-song. The reaction and commentary on many parts of the internet was... not pretty.
