Nope. Too smart.

He just discovered the camera from Eyebleach

So, Jeff Garlin. He was fired from The Goldbergs after it was revealed that he was harassing colleagues and just generally being unpleasant on set. Also, he refused to stop saying “OUCH, MY VAGINA!” all the damn time. But despite being cut from the show mid-season, it was announced his character Murray would remain on the series through a combination of stand-ins and CGI. Well, we’ve arrived at the CGI Garlin episodes and friends, I’m here to tell you, it’s a horrifying nightmare.

Wendi McClendon-Covey responded directly to the tweet:

People have feelings about CGI Jeff Garlin:

 

Ken Jennings has left The Chase. Does that mean he’s the new host of Jeopardy!?

Abbott Elementary, which returns tonight after a brief unnecessary Bachelor hiatus (I’m getting to it, calm down), is the most-tweeted-about comedy right now. (Also, scroll down for some great Abbott Elementary news.)

The Price is Right is going on the road for a 50-stop tour across the country to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

SpongeBob SquarePants was the most “in-demand” title on Prime Video, which begs the question, “Why doesn’t Paramount+ lock that shit down?”

Ted Lasso news: Season three will feature more backstories for some characters, possibly a Ted origin story? Also, when they created the show, it was originally intended to only go for three seasons. Somehow, I think they’re not going to end it after this season.

An update on the controversy about West Side Story‘s Rachel Zegler not going to the Oscars: it’s Disney’s fault.

But you know who will be at the Oscars? Tony Hawk and Kelly Slater because THAT JUST MAKES GOOD SENSE.

It’s not just Power of the Dog that Sam Elliott has beef with. He’s also not a fan of Yellowstone, even though he starred in 1883, the Yellowstone prequel series. Someone sure is cranky.

Brand New Cherry Flavor is trending again some eight months after its release on Netflix thanks to a very disturbing sex scene. You’re not ready. That said, I encourage you to watch the entire series which is dark and weird and hilarious and unlike anything else I’ve seen.

Apparently a half-deflated netball is what keeps the actors apart during those steamy Bridgerton scenes. Until this moment, I had gone forty-something years in this life without knowing that there is someting called a “netball” out there, much less that it’s a whole sport?

This is an article about TV-inspired vacations, where people go to Scotland to see Outlander locations, or attend Bridgerton high teas. And I would make fun, except I have traveled to Hawaii to see Lost set locations, and have been on a Game of Thrones tour across Northern Ireland, so I can’t really talk smack about anyone.

The Succession/Euphoria crossover you didn’t know you needed.

90 Day Fiance star Ben Rathbun is in trouble.

The Kanye/Kim Kardashian situation just keeps becoming messier. Some text messages between Pete Davidson and Kanye West were leaked in which Davidson told Kanye that he was in that moment, “in bed with your wife,” before suggesting that they meet privately and try to hash things out. He also urged Kanye to stop abusing his family in public and to seek mental health support. Davidson ain’t wrong.

Trevor Noah then mentioned this conversation on The Daily Show, where he discussed how this whole situation is abusive and scary and happens to women everywhere, not just famous ones:

In response, Kanye called Noah a racial epithet and was promptly given a 24-hour ban on Instagram. Because apparently you can repeatedly threaten your ex-wife and her boyfriend on the platform without consequence but the second you start throwing racial slurs around …

Kanye has also been pulled as a performer at the Grammys because of “concerning online behavior.” He can still attend the awards, and accept an award if he wins. So God knows what he would say then.

It should be noted that Noah is hosting the Grammys. That said, no one is canceling Kanye. Certain organizations have chosen to not associate with someone who is publicly harassing their ex-wife and throwing racial slurs around and that is their choice.

A grand jury has cleared former Texans player Deshaun Watson of criminal charges for sexual misconduct. He is now being traded to the Cleveland Browns.

Evan Rachel Wood is not frightened by Marilyn Manson’s lawsuit: “I can’t obviously speak about any of the specific allegations of the lawsuit, but I’m not scared,” Wood said. “I am sad, because this is how it works. This is what pretty much every survivor that tries to expose someone in a position of power goes though, and this is part of the retaliation that keeps survivors quiet. This is why people don’t want to come forward. This was expected.”

 Wood has asked YouTube to take down Manson’s “Heart-Shaped Glasses” video in which she says she was coerced into having sex on camera by Manson. YouTube says it is “monitoring the situation” and will take action if it determines there was a breach of “creator responsibility guidelines.”

Karen Fukuhara, who plays Kimiko on The Boys, reports that she was attacked by a stranger in a recent hate crime.

Sarma Melngailis, the chef at the center of the Netflix docuseries Bad Vegan, may have received an STD from Louis C.K. and he was remarkably (but unsurprisingly) blasé about the whole thing. In emails that the New York Post somehow got their hands on, Louis C.K. wrote to her:

“hey. I understand you’re upset. This kind of shit is tough. I never swore that I was clean. I told you I may or may not have given this to you. I’m sorry if I did. If you gave it to me, it’s okay. We all share the current human bloodstream, which includes this kind of stuff. I should have worn a condom, you should have made me, we should have a lot of things. we are human.”

“Our generation has this stuff. the next generation will all be inoculated and will have sex with electric glass penises and digital vaginas and they’ll get software viruses instead. It’s part of life.”

Yep, that sounds like Louis C.K.

Chris Cuomo is demanding $125 million in his arbitration with CNN over being fired.

Emma Watson took a subtle dig at J.K. Rowling’s transphobia at the BAFTAs.

Alaskan Bush People star Bear Brown was arrested for domestic violence.

Ron Jeremy’s rape trial has been paused as he undergoes psychiatric evaluation.

Gérard Depardieu is still being investigated for rape in France.

I hope your daughters were watching this, Ted, and saw that their father thinks holding a girl down and trying to rip off her clothes while their friend watches is “teenage dating habits.”
