Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
You’ll be able to purchase Emily’s clothes directly because capitalism never rests.
The LAPD has arrested four suspects in the death of former General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor.
More details about the arrests made in Matthew Perry’s death have come out and boy, they are grim.
Katy Tur disapproves of how the media is covering Former President Hannibal Lecter. PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF. I will note that MSNBC seems to have learned their lesson from last week’s “press conference” stunt Former President Cheerios pulled last week and did not carry yesterday’s event live. CNN cut away from it after 30 minutes, and Fox News, of course, covered the entire thing.
Everyone is reporting it, so I guess it’s a big deal that Katy Perry will be given this year’s Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs.
I mean, I guess I’m glad Rob Schneider is apologizing to his daughter for being a shitty dad, but to do so on Tucker Carlson’s show feels like he’s not sincere.
Team Jordan 4Eva.
Sending good thoughts to Victoria Jackson. I disagree with her on everything, but cancer fucking sucks.
Also sending healing thoughts to former Dancing with the Stars co-host Samantha Harris.
