Probably no surprise that "Game of Thrones'" season 8 premiere on HBO was pirated almost 55 million times worldwide in the first 24 hours. The analytics firm MUSO says around three-quarters came from unofficial streams of the episode, with web downloads accounting for 12.2 percent of views. 17.4 million viewers watched on one of HBO's three platforms (HBO itself and its two internet streaming services, HBO Go and HBO Now). In the US alone, MUSO reports there were nearly 4 million illegal views.

But --it's only gonna serve the "Rocky Mountain High: CheeseBurger Delight" burger at one location in Denver --and only for that one day. It'll also cost $4.20 and will be topped with CBD-infused Santa Fe Sauce, which the company says is a non-psychoactive hemp derivative. The regular CheeseBurger Delight consists of two beef patties, topped with pickled jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, and comes with fries.

MEGHAN MARKLE's baby --or babies-- are thought to be arriving this weekend.
