Y’all, The Weeknd says ‘The Idol’ is SUPPOSED to be cringey.

Bringing a bunch of foster puppies into a first-grade classroom is an adorable concept but MY GOD, can you imagine the chaos? Additionally, being the mom to a 16-week-old puppy myself, I can assure you, there is A LOT of biting. First graders and puppy teeth are not a terrific combination.

People originally laughed when I said wanted to bring foster puppies into my first grade classroom. This year we helped 18 puppies get out of the shelter and find fur-ever homes. #fosteringsaveslives #puppiesoftiktok #puppiesofinstagram #school #therapy #therapydog #firstgrade #firstgradeteacher #puppy #puppies

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

MSNBC is beating Fox News in the ratings as a result of them firing Tucker and the whole indicting-a-former-President thing.

Maybe that Weeds reboot isn’t going to happen after all? (At least one former cast member should be relieved.)

I haven’t had a chance to binge Black Mirror yet, so I’m mostly including a link to this list of easter eggs featured in one episode as a personal bookmark to come back to later. I’m sure you understand.

The Weeknd claims that the sex scenes in The Idol are supposed to be cringey and that his character is supposed to be a loser. I mean, I guess that’s one way to deflect all the criticism that the sex scenes are cringey and his character is a weird loser. It’s SUPPOSED to be bad, you guys! Don’t y’all get irony??

“There’s nothing sexy about it,” Tesfaye says of the scene. “How ever you’re feeling watching that scene, whether it’s discomfort, or you feel gross, or you feel embarrassed for the characters. It’s all those emotions adding up to: This guy is in way over his head, this situation is one where he is not supposed to be here.”

He goes on to say that The Idol is “puppet-mastering your feelings through the show.” I mean, is it though? Because the only feelings I’m being led to have are “Boy, The Weeknd is a terrible actor,” and “Am I really going to watch another episode of this dreck?”

Jennifer Coolidge almost turned down the role of Tanya in The White Lotus because she didn’t want to leave her New Orleans home. And girl, I get it.

Excuse me, but why are we out here asking Emilia Clarke if she’s going to be in the Jon Snow spinoff? Are you daft or something?

This is an interesting piece about how difficult it was to cast House of the Dragon and how the casting directors worked around those challenges.
