Welcome to the first ever Enstars Rundown. A collection of news stories, article briefs, tidbits, and journalistic flotsam and jetsam to keep you in the know. And look, it's in an easy to read and digest list!

Enjoy!

- Kim Kardashian silenced all the conspiracy theorist who claim she's faking her current pregnancy by posting a VERY nude selfie on Instagram. So, yeah. Kim K. is totes preggers.

- Google has changed its name/leadership...sort of. It's now part of a larger company named Alphabet.

- A Korean TV spot for the new Star Wars movie features new footage for the upcoming entry in the beloved sci-fi franchise. Enjoy, nerds.

- The two 13-year-old Wisconsin girls allegedly responsible for the "Slender Man" stabbing (named for the online legend/ghost story that reportedly inspired the attack) of a friend will be tried as adults.

- Thirteen U.S. rowers became sick after competing in an Olympic event at a polluted lake near Rio de Janeiro. Many are concerned the Brazilian capital's waters may be too contaminated for competition, even though it's hosting the 2016 summer Olympics.

- A recent analysis of Facebook Data concluded the web-centric acronym LOL ("laughing out loud" for readers that have just woken up from a decades-long coma) is on the way out. HAHA is in.

- St. Louis County has declared a state of emergency amid protests and demonstrations to mark the first anniversary of Michael Brown's death. Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, in Fergusson, Missouri in 2014. The rallies began over the weekend and have resulted in several clashes with police, including one man being shot and the arrest of over a hundred people.

-A video of a Florida News Anchor has gone viral after he refused to discuss a story on the Kardashians and stormed off set. Specifically, an item on Kylie Jenner naming her new pet rabbit "Bruce." Do you care?

-Columbia Pictures issued a copyright notice and successfully took down the trailer for its own movie Pixels on video streaming site VIMEO. Based on the critical reception of the Adam Sandler-led 80s videogame sci-fi comedy, it's understandable.

-A New Zealand man working as an unpaid intern for the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland has reportedly been living in a tent due to the city's notoriously high cost of living and the fact that interns are unpaid. Coincidently, the Olsen Twins have just been slapped with a lawsuit by a former intern alleging the duo's Dualstar Entertainment company forces its interns to work grueling hours for no pay (or college credit).

-In election news: GOP candidate (and former Texas Governor) Rick Perry has reportedly run out of money to pay his staff. Uh-oh. Meanwhile, Fox News' Megyn Kelly finally publically addressed the fracas over Donald Trump's comments about her (he insinuated that she was menstruating during last week's GOP debate); and the Donald responds to criticism that he's a whiner, telling CNN, "I do whine because I want to win."

-Cuteness Alert: A California family that lost their cat while evacuating a recent wildfire were reunited with the tabby, who survived the blaze taking shelter under a burned out pickup truck.
