Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
“I’m not terribly active online and it even affected me. Then you have Donald Trump coming down the escalator. I was like, ‘OK, this is silly,’ and then what he unlocked in people… I hated how people weren’t listening to one another. Things became very binary and I don’t think that’s the way the world works.”
Shonda Rhimes opened up about the difference between working for ABC and working for Netflix, and this will shock you, but Netflix gave her a lot more creative freedom and money. Who could have seen that coming?
Charlize Theron recently expressed her support for drag queens, saying, “I will f**k anybody up who’s like trying to f**k with anything with you guys,” and that asshole Megyn Kelly challenged her to a fight because, again, Megyn Kelly is an asshole.
I will not be drinking the Love is Blind wine. Even I have my limits.
Seinfeld ended 25 years ago and I am so old.
The bar from Cheers! is up for auction and oh my God, I’m so old.
Here are all the winners of the BAFTAs and the GLAAD Media Awards.
Jamie Foxx seems to be OK, everyone needs to stand down.
Jamie Foxx ‘s daughter Corinne posts an update on her father on IG:
"Update from family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!” pic.twitter.com/s95YicOR0F

Writers’ Strike Update:
The Tonys will not be broadcast on CBS because of the strike.
The Chi; On Call; You Bet Your Life; While You Were Breeding; and Bad Sisters have halted production. And Seth MacFarlane and the showrunners of Family Guy and American Dad have exited the shows (though it’s unclear if it has had any impact on production).
Fox will make a decision on the fate of Welcome to Flatch once the strike ends.
Neil Gaiman and Dave Foley were out striking at the NBCUniversal Upfront Presentation at 30 Rock:
“These people need contracts… for me, the biggest thing was just wanting there to be another generation of TV writers and showrunners…” Neil Gaiman tells Deadline outside of NBCUniversal Upfront today #WritersStrike pic.twitter.com/AOb3WZSXcN
