Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Per court documents obtained by TheWrap, Rinks was concerned by the “unsafe and unsanitary conditions” of the production and alleged that producers denied contestants sleep, food, water and sanitary bathrooms. Moreover, Crestwell alleged that producers pressured female contestants to engage in sexual relationships with male contestants despite their previously stated reservations. They also allegedly made derogatory comments about female contestants’ bodies while watching intimate footage of contestants.
I mean, I saw UnReal. This all sounds entirely plausible.

Former General Hospital actor Tyler Christopher says that his sister stole from him when he was under her guardianship after he suffered a head injury back in 2019. What a mess.

The Singer’s Singer, Tony Bennett, has died. I’m thankful I was alive during his musical reign, to hear and treasure the music he made and the man himself. He will be sorely missed.

Many people are called legends. Few embodied the word like Tony Bennett. His voice. His presence. HIs style. He was timely and timeless. He had an otherworldly talent of coaxing the sublime out of the music he sang. But he was also a consummate craftsman and tireless worker. He…

The great Tony Bennett has passed away at the age of 96. He was the last of his kind, a master of the American songbook. He may have left his Heart in San Francisco, but he won all of our hearts, from Sinatra to Lady Gaga. Be at peace, and sing to us now from the stars, Tony.

“For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business. He excites me when I watch him. He moves me. He’s the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more.”
– Frank Sinatra

Bill Geddie, TV producer and co-creator of The View along with Barbara Walters
We are saddened by the sudden death of Bill Geddie.
As a producer, he kept us together and was very loyal to his staff. Bill loved comedy and plenty of laughs not to mention a good cigar. I’m forever grateful to him and Barbara for the opportunity to be on the View. RIP…— Joy Behar (@JoyVBehar) July 21, 2023
My friend & mentor Bill Geddie has transitioned at 68. Bill was the 1st person to believe that I could be a national talk show host. He told me after an audition for The View “you were sitting there watching the show instead of being on the show. Lean in like I know you can.” 💔
— Sunny Hostin (@sunny) July 21, 2023
Bill Geddie .. a major champion in my life. Thank you for all of it. I am just gutted about this. I loved and adored you brilliant man. You gave me so much. My love and sympathies to his beautiful wife Barbara. https://t.co/prO9ygCzAJ

WATCH THIS
FRIDAY
FIFA Women’s World Cup: OK — technically, the FIFA’s Women’s World Cup began yesterday (Thursday), but because it’s taking place in Australia, everything is going to be wonky, time-wise. Beginning at 6 tonight will be a live match — at this point, I’m not sure which teams Fox will broadcast — followed by a replay of U.S. vs. Vietnam at 8 p.m. 6 p.m., Fox
Minx: Joyce struggles to find a new publisher in the second season premiere of the little show that could. (Seriously — give this show a chance, it’s delightful — but only if you’re not scandalized by full-frontal male nudity.) 8 p.m., Starz
Praise Petey: A young woman inherits her father’s doomsday cult in this new animated series from a former head of SNL. Series premiere. 9 p.m., Freeform
They Cloned Tyrone: A group of friends stumble upon a cloning conspiracy in this new comedy film starring John Boyega and Jamie Foxx. Premiere. Netflix
SATURDAY
Starship Troopers: This movie isn’t about what you think it’s about. I mean, yes, it’s about giant bugs, but it’s actually a wonderful satire of fascism. And the bugs aren’t the fascists. 4:15 p.m., IFC
Blow Out: Another De Palma classic, this one starring John Travolta — although Al Pacino was originally considered for the role. 9 p.m., Action Max
Super Troopers: Not to be confused with Starship Troopers. 8:47 p.m., Starz Comedy
