Each week, Hollywood gives us something to whine about, and the week ending Oct. 20 was no different. We could make a drinking game out of this week, but that would be too dangerous.

How about a light cocktail to take the edge off? Got a real bone to pick with a celeb or entertainment entity this week? Go ahead, grab a drink that’ll put hair on your chest. Here are the week’s entertainment stories that are forcing us to seek a bubbly or boozy refuge. And maybe an idea or two about how you should wash them down.

Let’s Forget This Ever Happened with some homemade Jungle Juice
We’ve lost our Lanceness.
