Movie news: Nickelodeon says they're working on a "Baby Shark" movie.

So look for 13 more episodes this season, another 26 to come in season 2 and a movie as well!

Gotta go: HARVEY WEINSTEIN, who was convicted in New York last February for sexual assault and rape, was sentenced to 23 years in jail but is appealing the sentence. Yesterday, he was extradited from New York to California to face a second trial on rape and assault charges. He's accused of attacking five women from 2004 to 2013, and there's also charges of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint, and sexual penetration by use of force. If convicted, the 69-year-old Weinstein could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Splitsville: It’s over for supermodel PAULINA PORIZKOVA and famous writer, producer and movie director AARON SORKIN. They began dating earlier this year, but she just announced on her Instagram account yesterday that they've split. As you probably remember, Paulina was previously married to RIC OCASEK of the CARS when she was just 24 and he was 45. They separated amicably in 2017, and Ric passed away two years later at age 75.

Quickie: Billionaire JEFF BEZOS went into space yesterday (Tuesday) on the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with a crew of people in his rocket ship, New Shepard. Along with him on the flight were his brother, MARK, MARY WALLACE "WALLY" FUNK, a woman who worked at NASA years ago, and an 18-year-old student from the Netherlands, OLIVER DAEMEN. Wally was the first female air safety investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, the first female civilian flight instructor at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and the first female Federal Aviation Agency inspector, as well as one of the Mercury 13 --the only one to have traveled into space since the program was cancelled before any of the women were able to go. Bezos also brought along a piece of canvas used on the Wright brothers' first plane, a medallion made from the vehicle that performed the first hot air balloon flight in 1783 and a pair of goggles used by AMELIA EARHART. The flight took all of 10-minutes and 10-seconds.

Fast food: Today (Wednesday) is National Hot Dog Day and the crew at Wienerschnitzel and Hamburger Stand will be celebrating the event by selling five Chili Dogs for just $5.
