Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

I think this ad is great; I’m thrilled they’re running it on Fox News; it won’t change the mind of a single one of his voters. It’s a full-fledged cult.

So apparently, there were rumors floating around online that Steve Harvey’s wife was cheating on him? And these rumors were loud enough that Fox News reported on them? But Steve Harvey says everything is fine between himself and his wife? What?

In a story that just seems shamelessly cruel, it was announced that a former Bachelorette contestant, Josh Seiter, had died by suicide. Seiter, who appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season, has been very open on his Instagram page about his struggles with mental health issues, and a previous suicide attempt. However, it appears someone hacked his Instagram account and posted the fake death announcement. After restoring access to his account, Seiter posted a video to demonstrate he’s actually alive and well. Here’s to hoping he’s doing OK after an unnecessarily awful experience and maybe the internet wasn’t such a good idea.

Eminem would like that dork Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using his song “Lose Yourself” at his campaign events already.

And speaking of Ramaswamy, here’s a video from 2004 where he asks Al Sharpton why he should vote for a candidate with the least amount of political experience.

First of all, the fucking irony that this nerd would go on to run for President with zero political experience. Secondly, Al Sharpton destroys him here — as BoingBoing describes it, it’s like a villain origin story. Third, Ramaswamy didn’t bother to vote that year. In fact, he’s only voted twice in his life: in 2008 and 2012, and yet this dingus thinks he’s qualified to be President. What a tool.

It sounds like Paul Reubens was given a beautiful and proper send-off. Goodbye, sweet Pee-Wee.

#MeToo

After Spain won the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Luis Rubiales, the president of Royal Spanish Football Federation, congratulated the players, forcibly kissing one, midfielder Jennifer Hermoso, on the lips.

Hermoso posted on Instagram that it was not consensual and she did not like it.

The Spanish prime minister called for Rubiales to resign, FIFA has suspended him for 90 days, and over 80 players have pledged to boycott the national team until he is fired.

Despite all this, Rubiales is refusing to resign:

His mother is going on a hunger strike to protest how her son is being treated; but most egregiously, Spain’s football federation is threatening to sue Jennifer Hermoso for supposedly lying about the kiss.

Since then, 11 Spanish women’s team coaches have resigned, along with Spain’s Women’s U20 head coach, Sonia Bermúdez, and the head coach of Spain’s Men’s National Team, Luis de la Fuente has condemned Rubiales’ behavior.

And just yesterday, Spanish prosecutors have announced that they will be opening an investigation that could end with sexual aggression charges. Just resign already, my dude.

Support for Jennifer Hermoso has been pouring out from around the world, including the English soccer team whom the Spanish team defeated in the World Cup Final:

Samantha Suarez, a crew member of Bravo’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht, says that cast member Gary King tried to force himself on her, that Bravo covered it up, fired her and kept King on the show.

Broadway’s Mean Girls actress Reneé Rapp says that the musical was harmful to her health, and production staff said “vile” things about her body, helping to create an eating disorder.

Two women are suing the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Los Angeles for “negligence in maintaining a safe environment for their female patrons” alleging that porn star Ron Jeremy was allowed to sexually assault them there.

Hilarie Burton has revealed that her One Tree Hill showrunner and all-around gross guy Mark Schwahn once wrote himself into a scene making her hug him because she wasn’t speaking to him in real life. Some just real creep shit right there.

Melissa Joan Hart says she was very nearly fired from Sabrina the Teenage Witch after doing a photoshoot for Maxim.

Some Lizzo developments: Lizzo plans on countersuing her backup dancers who are suing her. And someone seems to have leaked to TMZ some photos of those backup dancers hanging backstage with the same topless dancers they say they were forced to go see.

According to the Los Angeles Times, six months before this new lawsuit, Lizzo settled a dispute with 14 backup dancers over not being paid for appearing in her HBO documentary Love, Lizzo.
