Happy Tuesday! Here’s our compendium of pop culture news you may have missed while you were doing more important things over the holiday weekend.
• The farce that is the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election continued on Sunday with the second debate between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Melania wore a pussy-bow blouse from Gucci. The real winner was a man named Ken Bone. [Yahoo, NYMag, SNL, Time]
