Ryan Reynolds is dishing on why Rob McElhenney doesn't appear in the new 'Deadpool' flick ... saying they couldn't make his scene work -- which wasn't Rob's fault at all.

The way RR explains it, the sequence itself didn't work ... and, the only reason it didn't immeditaly end up on the cutting room floor was because of Rob's performance.

Avian Bird Flu Outbreak Among House Cats ... Settle Down J.D. Vance

Cat owners have more than J.D. Vance to worry about now -- a deadly strain of avian bird flu is spreading to house cats, according to researchers.

The bird flu, which scientists call H5N1, had been ravaging American farm animals for the last 2.5 years -- killing 100 million birds and impacting nearly 200 dairy farm herds -- but now it's jumped to indoor cats.

Researchers say the numbers aren't huge yet, a New York Times report says at least 21 kitties have caught it, but the concern is how they're getting it. One of the cases was a cat that lived on a dairy farm ... so, that one makes sense.

BRAT ELECTION
HBO

Kamala Harris is fully embracing the "Brat" tag Gen Z supporters, and Charli XCX, have put on her -- but Bill Maher just doesn't see it, and says the singer's actually describing Donald Trump to a T.

Bill dug into the Brat phenomenon on Friday's episode of 'Real Time' with his guest CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins -- fully unpacking the label for any boomers or Gen Xers who still don't get it. He read out Charli's definition ... “Just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes."

Maher argued all of that sounds way more like Trump, and, more to the point, he added ... "I don't want my president to be this!"
