On Tuesday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune, a contestant named Kevin had only the “m” left in “A Streetcar Named Desire” when he incorrectly opted for a “k” instead, thinking the answer to the aforementioned puzzle was “A Streetcar Naked Desire.”

Mere days after Chuck Barry passed away, Gong Show host Chuck Barris died of natural causes on Tuesday at the age of 87 at his home in Palisades, New York. What Barry was to rock and roll, Barris was to game shows, helping to create The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. He also tried his hand at songwriting, penning “Palisades Park,” which was a hit in 1962 for Freddy Cannon, and wrote a book, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, which was later adapted into George Clooney’s cinematic directorial debut. In that book, Barris claimed to have been an assassin for the CIA, and he was once hired by ABC to tail Dick Clark in hopes of figuring out whether the American Bandstand host was involved in the illegal practice of payola. In other words, Barris lived a rather full life.

Ellen DeGeneres revealed on Tuesday’s episode of her talk show that she dislocated her finger while drunkenly trying to walk through her own front door after coming home from a dinner party with wife Portia de Rossi. WATCH HERE “I had two glasses of wine and fell into a door,” she explained after tweeting an X-ray of her busted digit on Monday. “I was a foot away from the door and I fell into the door and it did something to my finger.” She joked that her nurse Tammy at UCLA Medical Center offered her a “shot” to ease the pain while the finger was being reset. “I said, ‘No, I had two glasses of wine–that’s what got me into this mess in the first place, Tammy,”” DeGeneres said. “She meant a shot to numb my finger. She said, ‘You’re gonna feel a little prick.’ This is a daytime show–you make up your own joke there.”

Justin Bieber celebrated the end of his Purpose tour’s New Zealand leg this week by dancing shirtless with an elderly lady at a bar. In a video posted to Instagram Tuesday, Bieber shows off his dirty-dancing moves while holding hands with the smiling old woman, coming in close to wrap her arms around his neck, then giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. There’s also an elderly gentleman who can be seen laughing along in the background; he clearly isn’t “Sorry” to see the Beibs cutting a rug with his presumed wife.
