ACCURATE.
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
One of the La Brea actors claims that the time-travel rules on the series will begin to make sense this season. WELL, I DON’T KNOW WHY IT SHOULD START NOW.
Maren Morris has been nominated for a CMA award, but says she’s not sure if she is going to attend the ceremony because of an online feud with Jason Aldean’s wife. After Brittany Aldean wrote the caption “I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life,” on an Instagram post, Morris tweeted, “It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie.” Aldean started going on Fox News where she called Morris a “lunatic,” so Morris made T-shirts and raised over $150,000 for trans youth. And now if you’ll excuse me, I have a T-Shirt to go buy. (DAMMIT, they’re sold out. It was a class move, Morris.)
But can we stop here and talk for a second about how two three! of the twelve celebrity relatives of the contestants of the ridiculously dumb ABC summer show, Claim to Fame, have been involved in gross scandals immediately following the show? What is going on over there that 25% of the celebrities on that show — and not minor celebrities! — have been caught up in scandals in the past couple of months?
SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t cleared out your DVR yet, but:
- The runner-up to the show was Logan Crosby, Jason Aldean’s cousin.
- Another contestants was Jasmine English, Tiffany Haddish’s sister. Haddish was recently sued for sexually abusing two minors in a comedy sketch several years ago, though the suit has just been dropped by the plaintiff.
- And one of the first contestants to be eliminated was Brittany Favre, daughter of Brett Favre — though I don’t think she’s the daughter for whom he conspired to steal Mississippi welfare money to build a better volleyball gym at her college. I think that was her younger sister.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG, YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELF.
Anyway, Claim to Fame was, as I said, a ridiculously dumb ABC summer show. 10/10, would watch again.
