Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Piers Morgan has landed the interview with the woman who helped inspire Baby Reindeer. This is simultaneously the most obvious development in this entire saga, and the grossest. Because Piers Morgan is the grossest. He is also the least likely human being on this entire planet who could handle this interview with the delicacy and nuance it deserves.

Meanwhile, Netflix is on the defense, insisting that they took “every reasonable precaution in disguising the real-life identities of the people involved in that story.”

It’s a fraught situation: a creator has the right to tell their own story, but not to defame others, and with a project like Baby Reindeer, that is a particularly fine line. That said, I personally thought everyone in the series was handled with a remarkable amount of empathy and concern, even arguably the real villain of the show, the TV producer. But I can see how if you were any of the real people involved you might not appreciate the artistry.

Bette Midler regrets not suing Lindsay Lohan after she dropped out of her sitcom Bette after the pilot episode. Girl, who among us hasn’t fantasized about suing Lindsay Lohan?

A gentle reminder: do not believe everything you read on Facebook. I’m disappointed to report that there is no Mindhunter season three in the works despite this viral post, but I promise if there were Mindhunter season three in the works, I’d be the first to be screaming about it right here.

LOL, Netflix edited out the crowd booing Kim Kardashian at the Tom Brady roast.

Speaking of the roast, Gisele is pissed.

Andy Cohen doesn’t think reality stars should unionize and other shocking revelations.

I mean, it’s not surprising, but the other streamers have noticed that Netflix’s crackdown on password-sharing is profitable.

Also, Amazon is finding new irritating ways to incorporate advertising into your viewing experience.

According to an unsubstantiated rumor, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s divorce was because they disagreed about cornfields. No, really.

David Tennant remains the very best.

RFK Jr. has brain worms? Checks out.

One thought on “‘Baby Reindeer’s’ real ‘Martha’ will tell her side of the story to Piers Morgan because of course Piers Morgan

  1. NBC and cancelling a good comedy before it even has a chance to find it’s legs. Name a more iconic duo…I’ll wait.

    But really. Extended Family was sweet and definitely got better as the season went along. Which is common with S1 of shows. I don’t know why I even bother to watch anything new anymore. Buh.
