It started Tuesday - the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks is back for its 19th year.
They've launched their full fall menu.
They also brought back their Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew for a fourth year . . . their Pumpkin Scone and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins . . . and there's a new Owl Cake Pop with vanilla cake and buttercream.
Oh, and Pumpkin spice Oreos are back for the first time in five years.
Instead of chocolate, each one has two golden Oreo cookies with pumpkin spice cream sandwiched in between.
I still feel (and will ignore) that it's a tad to early..Let's get Labor Day over with first!

Micky Dolenz filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday to "obtain any records the FBI created and/or possesses on The Monkees as well as its individual members."
Wait...the Monkees?? The goofy TV show band from the 60s?
(He's the curly haired one)
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Micky filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Bureau back in June, and he says it acknowledged getting his request ... but since then it's gone radio silent.
As ridiculous as this sounds, because it is, it's already known the FBI was watching closely when The Monkees went on tour in 1967. It came out a decade ago an informant went to one of the shows and reported "subliminal messages" on the screen behind the band.
Those included images of the Vietnam war, riots on the Berkley campus and in Selma, Alabama -- aka, "left wing intervention of a political nature" ... according to the FBI, which was then run by J. Edgar Hoover.

The colors you wear account for 62-90% of someone's first impression. People who wear brighter colors tend to do better.
But for a job interview...Conservative colors, such as black, blue, gray, and brown, seem to be the safest bet when meeting someone for the first time in a professional setting, whereas colors that signal more creativity, like orange, maybe too loud for an interview.

Former "Saturday Night Live" castmates Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase are going to appear in an adaptation of R.L Stine's mystery teen book, "Zombie Town". No word on what characters they'll be playing.
The movie is currently shooting in Canada and is expected to land in theaters sometime next year. The movie also stars Henry Czerny from "Mission: Impossible".
In the book, a couple of 12-year-olds go to see a horror movie called "Zombie Town". But things get bad when the main characters come off the screen and chase them through the theater. So who knows, maybe Dan and Chevy will play zombies?
