TV Briefs:
Would you wanna see a reboot of "Happy Days"?
TED McGINLEY, who played basketball coach Roger Phillips on the original show, says he'd love to revisit it and it should be done as a Netflix project, which has already done sequels for "Arrested Development," "Full House," "Gilmore Girls" and "Degrassi High."
Besides his stint on "Happy Days," McGinley was also a regular on "Dynasty" and "The Love Boat." He says "It would be fun to see what Fonzie is today... I would give anything just to watch that."Fashion Emergency:
LADY GAGA's tour merchandise looks more like a fashion collection --so much so, it was previewed with the release of a fashion industry "look book." Lobster Eye is the creative firm that's produced many of Gaga's performances --including that Super Bowl Half-Time show. They teamed up with manufacturer Bravado to put together a collection that Fashionista.com says includes T-shirts, a very on-trend dad hat, necklaces and a "Joanne" patch. You can check it all out and shop now at her online store.

President DONALD TRUMP is proving popular with at least one demographic: Carnival revelers in Austria.
In fact, so many people want to dress up as the American president, Austrian costume shops are running out of Trump wigs. One business owner says the demand is so high, she's started making Trump toupees herself from scratch. She starts with normal blonde hairpieces and teases them and cuts them until they have the signature Trump style. The woman explains, "You have to do a lot of back-combing. But you can get it done."

Connecticut cops are warning locals in Suffield not to open their doors to strange cows.
The alert comes after drivers spotted a pair of cattle wandering the streets and trespassing in yards. Police were called and officers posted an online warning saying two "suspicious" cows were spotted "trying to sell dairy products" door-to-door. Residents were told not open their doors to "unfamiliar cattle." Cops think the cows escaped from a local farm after the electrical fence malfunctioned. (Still)
