Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Bundles are the future of streaming: Comcast will offer a Peacock/Netflix/Apple TV+ bundle to their broadband subscribers.
Obviously, The Office stars are not going to appear in the new Office series because that would be weird.
A crew member on the set of 9-1-1 died in a car accident on his way home after a 14-hour-long shift. Lengthy shoot days have led to a number of car accidents in recent years.
Fiona Harvey, “The Real Martha,” now wants Piers Morgan to pay her £1 million for that interview she did with him, LOLOLOLOL.
There will be no 2024 MTV Movie & TV Awards. The awards ceremony is being “retooled” and will return in some format in 2025.
The creators of The Chi are out here threatening their cast.
The Critics Choice Awards have announced their reality TV nominees.
How dare anyone think they could give acting notes to Sarah Paulson, MUCH LESS SIX PAGES OF NOTES! That is just psychotic behavior.
Duke University students walked out of Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech and not just because he said he wouldn’t remove the weird sexual tension between a bee and a human woman in The Bee Movie.
Preorders for the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer makeup collection are now open.
Congratulations, Captain Sandy!
#MeToo
This week’s edition features a lot of old guys who are really mad that this #MeToo thing not only hasn’t gone away, but has had some made real structural changes in the culture and the entertainment business. SO MAD!
Andy Cohen has been cleared of drug, alcohol, and sexual harassment allegations just in time for NBCUniversal’s big Upfronts presentation. Leah McSweeney and Brandi Glanville’s lawyers are unimpressed.
Another former Nickelodeon star, Lori Beth Denberg, has accused Dan Schneider of being inappropriate with her, showing her porn, initiating phone sex, assaulting her, and many other things. Schneider has issued a non-denial denial and non-apology apology.
Maybe it wouldn’t have to become a whole thing if men would maybe stop comparing the movement to the East German Stasi.
“I think people in the community of movies telling their stories and changing things for the better is only good,” said the Barbie filmmaker at a press conference introducing the jury just hours before the festival’s opening night begins. “I’ve seen substantial changes in the American film community; I think it’s important to expand the conversation.”
Several sources also felt that Coppola could be “old school” in his behaviour around women. He allegedly pulled women to sit on his lap, for example. And during one bacchanalian nightclub scene being shot for the film, witnesses say, Coppola came on to the set and tried to kiss some of the topless and scantily clad female extras. He apparently claimed he was “trying to get them in the mood”.
Miranda Cosgrove is still traumatized by her stalker.
Bill Maher and Bill Burr think that Louis C.K. shouldn’t be “canceled” anymore, that he’s suffered enough. OK, guys, but how has he been punished? Did he lose some work because people didn’t want to work with him? TOO FUCKING BAD. Those are called consequences. And last I checked, Louis C.K. sold out Madison Square Garden, so maybe save your tears for someone who actually deserves them. Jesus Christ.
Even Matt Rife recognizes that being “canceled” isn’t a thing, guys: “What am I gonna do? Get canceled? Cool, I’ll do another Bowl show, awesome.”
Oh, hey, another septuagenarian actor disapproves of intimacy coordinators. How novel.
Both Miss USA and Miss Teen USA resigned from their positions within days of each other, citing mental health issues. It comes as insiders claim the organization is toxic and harasses its winners. I’m shocked, SHOCKED! that there might be abuses within an organization whose entire purpose is to judge women based on their appearance.
After being a creep to Caitlin Clark at a press conference, Indianapolis Star columnist Gregg Doyel has been suspended and when he returns, he will no longer be covering the Indiana Fever. Don’t be creeps.
