Today we bring you sad news from Sesame Street, a study on the dangers of daydreaming, and a weirder than usual celebrity sex tape saga.
You can't say we didn't warn you.
[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Sunday's episode of 'The Walking Dead.' Read at your own risk!]
'The Walking Dea'd took a shocking turn in Sunday's Season 3 finale, killing off a character who is still alive in the comics more than 100 issues in.
Sure, the show has taken liberties with character deaths before, but this particular death is such a departure that one must question whether this will alienate fans of the comic books.
Again, spoiler warning.
The Walking Dead's Michael Rooker "relieved" by Merle's fate
The surprising death was... Andrea (Laurie Holden), who met her maker after The Governor (David Morrisey) left her tied up in a room with Milton (Dallas Roberts), whom he had just stabbed in the stomach. The Governor's goal, of course, was for the trader Milton to turn into a walker and kill Andrea. Fortunately, Andrea was able to free herself!
Unfortunately, it wasn't in time.
After The Governor and his fighters from Woodbury raided what appeared to be a deserted prison, the group was able to drive them out with booby traps and gunfire. Thwarted, The Governor gunned down all of his own people, save for two loyal lackeys. Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) then headed to Woodbury, but along the way, they discovered The Governor's dead group, except for one woman who had hid from The Governor's attack. Thanks to her, the group is able to get into Woodbury safely only to discover that Andrea had, in fact, been bitten by Milton before she was able to put him down.
The Walking Dead: Who's going to die before Season 3 ends?
Following the surprisingly emotional death of Merle (Michael Rooker) last week, Andrea's goodbye was an entirely different beast. As she sat there with Michonne before she took her own life, we pondered how underused this duo really was. There are still plenty of story lines to mine here, so why does Andrea have to die? Her future story lines in the comics are actually interesting! Executive producer and comic book creator Robert Kirkman has always said that he'd stray from the comics, but is this departure pushing it too far?
In keeping with the theme of the season — there can be no peace — The Governor simply got away, leaving the door open for him to return and wreak some other kind of havoc. Rick does still have both of his hands, after all, and a lot more mouths to feed with the remaining residents of Woodbury coming to the prison.

'The Walking Dead' returns for Season 4 in October.
Another day, another celebrity addiction confession. "I couldn't predict where I was going to end up at the end of the night," Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong tells Rolling Stone of the alcohol and prescription drug abuse that led him to rehab after his public meltdown last year.
Back in September, he smashed his guitar onstage and shouted, "I'm not f---ing Justin Bieber, you motherf---ers" at last year's iHeartRadio festival.

But Armstrong's lifestyle seems to be more the rule than the exception in Hollywood. TMZ reported recently that Lindsay Lohan may have been drinking just before she crashed her Porsche last June. What happened to that "comeback" we've heard so much about?
While Lohan's misbehavior isn't exactly a surprise anymore, sometimes we don't see it coming — like when Eva Mendes checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge in 2008, reportedly for substance abuse issues. Or when adorable "Sixth Sense" star Haley Joel Osment pleaded no contest to one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of possession of marijuana in 2006.
And it surprised many last year when Heather Locklear was hospitalized after she reportedly ingested a dangerous mix of alcohol and drugs.
Still other stars have overcome their demons — like seemingly squeaky-clean "Glee" star Cory Monteith, who told Parade he went to rehab at 19 to deal with substance abuse issues. And ex-Disney star Demi Lovato, who revealed that promoters used to give her drugs and alcohol "to stay 'up.'"
