Entertainment buzz: Facebook’s top 10 moments of the week

It was a big week for Jimmy Fallon, who kicked off his hosting tenure on "The Tonight Show," and for movie fans, too -- they were treated to the first full-length trailer for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy."

And that's not all people were talking about in the world of entertainment. Music fans mourned the death of Devo guitarist Bob Casale, TV watchers weighed in on "The Walking Dead" and there was talk about a clown shortage -- which could be great or horrible news, depending on how you feel about clowns.

A story made the rounds this week claiming that rapper Lil Boosie had been released from prison, only to be arrested again 30 minutes later for allegedly owing $80,000 in child support payments.
