Last year’s semi-autobiographical look at Steven Spielberg’s childhood was filled with Hollywood powerhouses like Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Judd Hirsch. But the most inspired casting choice in The Fabelmans was the surprising cameo from David Lynch as Western icon John Ford. What’s the going rate to get an enigmatic icon like Lynch in your film? Well, it’s simple — a big bag of Cheetos. The Mulholland Drive director spoke to Empire about agreeing to take on the role so long as Cheetos were available on set at all times. 

Another unexpected cameo came from the man at the center of the show with the longest run under a single host. Maury Povich, famous for delivering paternity results to hilariously rambunctious reactions, lent his talents to the Denver Zoo to do what he does best. Povich revealed that when it comes to the 4-month-old Sumatran orangutan Siska, Berani is the father. This news comes after the newborn orangutan was welcomed to the enclosure back in late August, with numerous of potential options for the father. Delivering the results is the second most exciting thing to happen to Povich this week — just behind receiving this year’s Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Award.
