Superhero costumes will be this year’s most popular Halloween getup among children, dethroning the princess costume that reigned for 11 years, according to the National Retail Federation.

While Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump exchanged barbs during the first presidential debate on Monday night, a team of three people translated every word spoken on stage to Spanish for Telemundo. Translating U. S. political events as they occur is a fundamental part of how Telemundo’s news team operates. “It’s something we have been doing for many, many years,” Jose Diaz-Balart, who anchors Noticiero Telemundo in Spanish and the Saturday evening edition of NBC Nightly News in English, said.”It’s part of our service, the way we see our responsibility—the way we serve the Latino community.” That doesn’t mean it’s easy—translating someone like Trump, for example, takes an experienced mind ready to work quickly and catch everything the Republican nominee says when he inevitably goes off the script. “I don’t think you actually prepare for Donald Trump,” Diaz-Balart, who covered the debate from Hofstra University on Monday, said.

Lea Michele might be single, but that doesn’t mean that she’s not ready for cuffing season.

Some of the highlights of the game included Michele passing over Taylor Swift exes Calvin Harris, Taylor Lautner, and Tom Hiddleston in favor of the likes of Michael B.

Martin Shkreli — the former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO who gained notoriety for raising the price of an AIDS drug more than 50-fold — is now auctioning off the opportunity to punch him in the face for charity.
