John Stamos is also out there spilling the tea in a messy new memoir

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP are still talking (at least as of now).

The WGA put out a statement condemning the violence perpetuated by Hamas and apologized for dragging their feet about making it, and on the one hand, was that so hard? But on the other hand, why do people care so much?

Apple TV+ and Apple One are raising their prices. Apple TV+ will go from $6.99 to $9.99 a month. There’s also this story about how Apple is planning on making its app into a streaming hub for all your shows and movies. But I’m confused as to how this will possibly work when the other streaming services will have no incentive to allow their shows to be accessed through it?

Here are all the dishiest parts of John Stamos’ memoir, including how he tried to get the Olsen Twins fired from Full House, that he tried to get HIMSELF fired from Full House, that he didn’t like Bob Saget at first, why he turned down Nip/Tuck, his relationship with Lori Loughlin, and more. Oh, and then there’s the Tony Danza story …

Cheryl Burke was almost a Bachelorette, but the producers said Chris Harrison vetoed her for being a “sloppy drunk.” (Harrison denies this, insisting that he didn’t have that kind of power on the show, but not, from what I can tell, denying that he called her a “sloppy drunk.”)

Kids these days are real tired of your “sex” and “romance.”

HOW DID I NEGLECT TO MENTION YESTERDAY THAT FORMER PRESIDENT ELECTION DENIER’S FORMER LAWYER JENNA ELLIS ALSO PLED GUILTY? AND AND MARK MEADOWS GOT AN IMMUNITY DEAL FROM THE DOJ. TICK TOK, RUDY GIULIANI.

In other political news, we (finally) have a Speaker of the House — and he’s a far-right-wing Christian Nationalist lunatic who was one of the architects of the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, which does not bode well for the 2024 election. Will he try to block the certification of the election if Former President Fuckleknuckle loses again?

Glad to hear The Young and the Restless‘ Christian LeBlanc is in remission and will be returning to the soap soon.

Get better soon, Erik Jensen.

Love is dead.

Richard Roundtree had *many* recognizable roles, but I knew him best as Paul Patterson on Being Mary Jane. He truly was a transcendent actor, through and through. RIP! 💔 pic.twitter.com/1sQ4L8UFIM

20 years ago the LEGEND Richard Roundtree did one day on my 1st movie Brick. It was a tiny weird movie, we were a set full of kids, and he was so kind & generous & patient, and even hung out with us all that night. Incredible guy, incredible career ♥️ pic.twitter.com/lNnPpJxxU0

Sad to hear of the passing of Richard Roundtree.. He was fabulous as John Shaft at a time when there were few leading Black men in film. He put the sexy and cool in being a detective. Rest well. Condolences to his family. 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/9HNJHS6yUz
