Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

A Cowboy Christmas Romance will be the first Lifetime holiday movie to feature a sex scene. Apparently, it’s a literal roll in the hay.

“Spoiler alert — he lays me down on some hay, and then we, you know,” [star Jana] Kramer said during Monday’s episode. “Obviously, it’s still Lifetime, it’s still family. But it was pushing limits there, too… They didn’t cut anything. I was so happy that they really left it all in there.”

“We think that there’s an audience out there that’s hungry for grown-up romance, and we’re looking forward to adding some smolder to the usual holiday sugar and spice,” Tia Maggini, SVP of scripted content at Lifetime, exclusively tells Variety. “We love trying new things, and we’re excited about this new ‘first’ for us for a holiday movie.”

HO HO HO INDEED. (Although, I mean, The Golden Bachelor is out here making 69 jokes, so in the grand scheme of things, this hardly seems that big a deal.) A Cowboy Christmas Romance debuts on Lifetime on December 9.

Chris Pine and Olivia Wilde were very nearly your leads of The O.C.

This is a piece about how there might possibly, maybe be a sequel to The Simpsons Movie on the horizon, but the thing I took away from it is that Harry Shearer is nearly 80 which ABSOLUTELY NOT, I REJECT THIS INFORMATION.

Wait, The Orville hasn’t officially been canceled? How? Why? What?

More shows that have returned to production: Chucky and Ghosts.

Former President Doesn’t Understand How TV works is threatening MSNBC, claiming that they are illegally using “public airwaves” to interfere with the election and serve as a political contribution to the Democrats. First of all, MSNBC is a cable channel that does not use “airwaves,” but second, Fox News, OANN, Newsmax, and The Blaze are out here literally dictating the Republican agenda and we don’t have an issue with that? But most of all, do people really want four more years of this nonsense?

Mark Cuban has sold his majority shares of the Dallas Mavericks to Sheldon Aldeson’s widow Miriam who is threatening to build a casino in Dallas.

How dare you try to lie to Pat Sajak, ma’am.

The Bachelorette = psychological warfare. Yeah, that checks out. Lord knows it’s psychological warfare on your trusty blogger.
