Real Housewife of the penitentiary
Good morning, reality-TV fans: Teresa Giudice is officially behind bars. The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., on Monday to begin her 15-month sentence for fraud, people.com reports. If that prison sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the one that inspired “Orange is the New Black,” which, we can’t lie, is a slightly better show than “Real Housewives.”

New Clark-songs?
It’s been a long, long time since we’ve heard new material from Kelly Clarkson—her last album, “Stronger,” came out in 2011. But it sounds like fresh sounds are on the horizon. “People keep asking. My next album is pop. But I am always influenced by music I love, which is pop- rock/country/r&b/dance #whoknowswhatsnext,” she tweeted Saturday, adding that she has a duet with someone she’s worked with before. Let the guessing begin!

HOT DATE

The budding writer was 22 at the time, and just 6 episodes of the now decades-old show had aired. So what’s the plot? Homer is hypnotized and left thinking he’s 10 years old. So, basically, his current mental age.

Focusing on his work
Is Benedict Cumberbatch leaving the wedding planning up to the ladies? Sounds like it, according to Pop Sugar. At the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday, the “Sherlock” star said, “”One thing at a time. I’m playing Sherlock now—just about to start—so my main focus is going to be on that,” when asked about nuptial mayhem. Fiancee Sophie Hunter probably has some tricks up her sleeve.

Are you afraid of the dark?
If you were freaked out by Zuul in the original “Ghostbusters,” it might be wise to stay away from Paul Feig’s reboot—things are going to get even freakier. The director told Empire magazine that he and co-writer Katie Dipold are after a movie that’s “scarier than the original.” But he’s also shooting for a PG-13 rating, so we’ll see if it gets any scarier than the exploding poop scene in Feig’s “Bridesmaids.”

THE QUOTE
“It’s a movie that just didn’t work very well. I tried to make it work, but I didn’t really believe in all the characters, so that couldn’t be hidden from people who loved ‘Spider-Man.'”
—Director Sam Raimi, on The Nerdist podcast, about his feelings on “Spider-Man 3.” Which, in case you’ve forgotten, was wretched.
