THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • General Mills announced that it's planning to create two cereals based on Girl Scout cookies. It looks like the flavors will be Thin Mint and Caramel Crunch.
  • Justin Timberlake took a selfie in a voting booth and posted a pic of himself Monday at the polling place. The problem is that Tennessee law prohibits voters from taking pics in the voting booths. Violators can be slapped with a 30-day jail sentence and a $50 fine. Whoops.
  • American Girl will open up small shops within 100 Toys R Us locations around the country this Saturday.
  • Jared Fogle's ex-wife is suing Subway, claiming that they knew about his sexual exploitation of children, but did nothing about it.
  • Scientists have raised the alert level for a remote Aleutian volcano after an explosion was detected on the mountain and heard by residents of a tiny village some 45 miles. Ironically, it's called the Cleveland Volcano -- no connection to the World Series. We think.
  • Don't be surprised if you can't find any guacamole. There's a shortage of avocados, and as a result, supply is low and prices have doubled -- and in some cases tripled -- from a year ago.
  • On Stub Hub, some World Series tickets in Chicago are going for as much as $50,000.
  • A jury on Monday acquitted a man of stalking model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner, but did convict him of trespassing at her secluded Hollywood Hill home.
  • Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are said to have ended their secret relationship.
  • A New York woman is suing KFC for what she calls false advertising about how much chicken you actually get in a bucket. She says $20 million will make it right.
  • Toni Braxton isn't letting lupus derail her latest tour... she performed over the weekend with a heart monitor strapped to her chest.
  • They did it in Colorado -- the first commercial delivery made by a self-driving truck carrying 2,000 cases of Budweiser beer, traveling a total of 120 miles.
  • A 14-year-old football player at Grossmont High in El Cajon, California, was struck by lightning on his way to the locker room after football practice.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics is calling for infants to be kept in their parents' bedroom at night for six months to a year in order to lessen the risk of sleep-related death.
  • Donald Trump has launched "Trump Tower Live," a nightly Facebook show every night through the election.
  • The Vatican has ruled that it's OK for Catholics to be cremated, but not OK to keep those ashes on the mantle or scatter them in the ocean. And don't put them in jewelry, either.
