Sarah Paulson appeared on The Ellen Show yesterday to promote American Horror Story: Cult, in which she's a lesbian mom who's terrorized by clowns, anxiety, and Trump supporters. 
Since she's acting in a scary television series, Ellen deduced that Paulson must love to be frightened and set up not one, not two, but three different jump scares in the span of two minutes. Paulson is not a fan, and at one point literally hides underneath the coffee table in anticipation of any more pranks.
Classic Ellen. Anyone else cackling?

Heated Rivalry

        Crave
    
For months, buzz has been building for the steamy gay hockey romance Heated Rivalry, based on the erotic gay novel by Rachel Reid and following the rivals-to-lovers journey of superstar hockey players Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams). But one glaring question has remained unanswered—until today: How will American audiences be able to watch the show?
Today, HBO announced that the highly anticipated series—originally created for the Canadian streaming service Crave—will also stream on HBO Max beginning November 28. The series will debut with a two-episode premiere, followed by weekly episodes, with the finale airing on December 26.
