‘OITNB’ actress drops a spoiler, maybe

NEW YORK

Laura Prepon’s giving away the cliffhanger from the third season finale of “Orange is the New Black” – or is she?

Spoiler alert: Prepon’s character Alex Vause is returning to the Netflix series next season. But beyond that, well, fans will just need to hop on board the streaming train when the fourth season hits in 2016.

“We can’t really say too much,” Prepon said Tuesday at a New York screening of the season finale. “She’s dealing with a lot this year.”

The drug-dealing Litchfield Penitentiary inmate and complicated lover of the show’s lead character Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling), is last seen facing down a drug business associate in the third season’s finale. It’s unknown whether Vause will make it out alive or if she is going to portray herself in the prison show’s many flashbacks.

Canine actor Uggie, known for role in ’ The Artist,’ dies at 13

LOS ANGELES

Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier who became a canine star for his scene-stealing role in the Oscar-winning movie “The Artist,” has died.

Uggie was euthanized Friday after a bout with prostate cancer, his owner, LA animal trainer Omar Von Muller, said Wednesday. The dog was 13.

“He was a real friend. He was very special,” said Von Muller, who plans to bury the dog in his backyard.

In “The Artist,” Uggie played the canine companion to Jean Dujardin’s fading silent-film star. The movie won Academy Awards for Best Picture, lead actor and director in 2011.

He retired in 2012 in a ceremony at the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where he became the first dog to leave his paw prints in concrete along the prints of human stars.

Uggie was a rescue dog, a cause his owner championed.
