Danny Elfman is going to compose the music for Wednesday, Tim Burton’s Addams Family series for Netflix, which is absolutely perfect.
Brandt Osborn, an actor on NCIS: Los Angeles, was arrested on the set of that series in the deaths of two women. The women had overdosed and were left on the sidewalks outside Los Angeles hospitals where they later died. Two other men were also arrested in the deaths.
BREAKING: Anderson Cooper is not good at drinking.
“Fox News’ lurch to the left is maddening for nearly every conservative, including myself, and I wonder now if the leftist leaders of this Trojan horse of a so-called conservative network have compromised Tucker Carlson,” Grant Stinchfield said. “Now, Tucker is a man that I have absolute, great respect for. The fact is, Tucker and I agree on most issues, which is why I’m baffled by his defense of Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Unless of course, is Tucker operating under duress? Why else would he proclaim something like this about NATO and Vladimir Putin?”
Someone really should tell Stinchfield about Former President Kompromont. His mind will be BLOWN.
The cops want Alec Baldwin’s phone for the investigation of the Rust shooting. I’m not saying he’s in trouble, I’m just saying maybe it was premature for him to go on TV and blab about this case in the way that he did.
