He is being investigated for violating the Espionage Act, y’all.

This video might just kill me.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Jon Baptiste is leaving The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as band leader after seven years (and having won an Oscar and five Grammys in the past two). Louis Cato is the new band leader.

Stephen Colbert’s cut scenes from Severance:

I love the social media team for The Boys:

Lisa Kudrow thinks that the Friends writers shouldn’t have taken on stories about people of color, because, “They have no business writing stories about the experiences of being a person of color.” She’s not wrong! White people shouldn’t do that! But maybe they could have hired some writers who weren’t white?

You might not be able to go to the Golden Girls pop-up in Beverly Hills, but you can shop the merch.

Kathy Hilton done fucked up.

This Buzzfeed piece about the family members of victims of violent crimes whose stories have been turned into true crime miniseries and documentaries turning to TikTok to criticize the monetization of their trauma is interesting and thought-provoking. 

Pajiba has a piece about how the tabloids are trying to drum up a feud between Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb over on The Today Show, and how it’s all bullshit. It’s a story about a non-story, basically. But in the Pajiba piece is this amazing tweet about Jenna Bush getting too handsy with a guest during a cooking segment, and y’all, this is hilarious. Is she drunk?

Spectrum Originals is shutting down, leaving several series in limbo.

Megan Thee Stallion is Team Steve.

If soap operas did away with these “10 overdone storylines” there would be no soap operas.

Speaking of soap operas, Nancy Lee Grahn plays Alexis Davis on General Hospital and I think she’s onto something here:

I mean, the man stole NUCLEAR DOCUMENTS, y’all. He is being investigated for violating the Espionage Act. THE ESPIONAGE ACT. WHAT WAS HE DOING WITH THESE DOCUMENTS, Y’ALL?

I, as ever, continue to be shocked but not surprised.

Meanwhile, Judge Reinhart is the judge who signed off on the Mar-A-Lago search warrant, and Fox News pulled this bullshit on the same day that a lunatic attacked an FBI office. This is disgusting. They are going to get people killed.

Olivia Newton-John will receive a state funeral in Australia.

Here’s hoping Salman Rushdie is OK after being stabbed at a public event.

Anne Heche, Emmy-winning actress

A statement from her family: “We have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend. Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”

As of yesterday and ahead of this announcement, Lifetime was still planning on releasing her upcoming film Girl in Room 13, but we’ll see.
