Lauren Cohan

NEW YORK — Even battling zombies day in and day out can get repetitive.

After eight seasons of fighting for her life on AMC's “The Walking Dead,” Lauren Cohan knew she needed a change when she felt a little too comfortable with the job.

She jokes that she used to combat that urge to coast in life by moving houses.

“This is a much better way of doing it,” she laughed.

The actress, 36, may be saying goodbye to the role, but she wants to stress its significance.

“'Walking Dead' is responsible for more than I can say,” she said.

Cohan will appear in the first half of season nine, premiering in October, and the door is open to return in the future, which she describes as “a gift.”

Her first new project is the movie “Mile 22,” starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Peter Berg with the hope of becoming a film franchise. Next, Cohan will act opposite Scott Foley in the ABC TV series “Whiskey Cavalier,” debuting in 2019.

NEW YORK — “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson says he's the “luckiest guy in the world” after wasting little time pursuing Ariana Grande.

In September's GQ magazine, Davidson says he told Grande on the day he met her, “Hey, I'll marry you tomorrow.” He says she was calling his bluff and he sent her a picture of engagement rings. He says Grande told him those were her favorites and he replied “Sick.”

The 24-year-old says he's moved into a Manhattan apartment that Grande bought. Davidson says she calls it our house because they're getting married. He says he responded, “Thank you for letting me stay here.”
