Maybe ‘Morning Joe’ should sit out of the conversation about billionaires sucking up to Former President Shakedown-Elect

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

2025 is certainly off to a hellish start. Southern California is on fire, fueled by hurricane-force winds, and tens of thousands of people have had to flee their homes. My heart goes out to all of those affected, and I hope the fires are brought under control as soon as possible.

This is obviously the least important part of all of this, but because of the fires, several premieres have been canceled, including The Pitt, and the movies Wolf Man, Better Man, and Unstoppable. The announcement of the SAG Awards nominations has been canceled, and Fallout has suspended production because of the dangerous fires.

Sadly, Palisades High School, which was featured in the Teen Wolf TV series, and Carrie, Freaky Friday, and Crazy/Beautiful among other films, has been all but destroyed by the fires.

AND I SWEAR TO GOD, IF I HEAR ONE SINGLE SOLITARY WORD ABOUT “RAKING THE FOREST,” I WILL ABSOLUTELY LOSE IT.

Oh cool, that upcoming Melania documentary that Prime Video bought cost them $40 million with a sizable portion of that going to Melania herself. Definitely not a billionaire paying a President’s wife for access and favor, definitely not that.

I just don’t even know where to begin with the Gulf of America or the 51st state or the idea that Hezbollah was at January 6 — I have a bad head cold right now and I don’t have the energy for any of this nonsense.

Nor do I have the energy for Mark Zuckerberg’s bullshit announcement that he, too, is rolling over to Former Bully-in-Chief-Elect by taking down fact-checking and moderation on Facebook, Instagram and Threads. BECAUSE GOD FORBID WE ARE ARMED WITH FACTS WHILE LIVING THROUGH AN ADMINISTRATION THAT IS ALLERGIC TO TRUTH. Preemptive surrender is so embarrassing and yet it’s the hot new trend for our billionaire class.

But you know who I don’t want to hear scolding Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos or Disney? THAT WOULD BE MORNING JOE SCARBOROUGH. My dude, you are the pot calling the kettle a bootlicker. Go take your whining back down to Mar-A-Lago, you hypocrite. Anyway, you can find me over on Bluesky.

Allison Holker, dancer and the widow of tWitch, revealed in a new memoir that following his death, she found a bunch of drugs that he had been hiding from her. This, unsurprisingly, has infuriated his family who are accusing her of “smearing” his name.

Manny Hostin, doctor husband of The View‘s Sunny Hostin, has been named as a defendant in a large insurance fraud lawsuit.

Lisa Kudrow reveals that Matthew Perry gave her a cookie jar prop from the Friends set as a wrap gift, but that she only found the note he left in it for her recently. “Timing is everything.”

Perhaps the most shocking revelation from the recent Jerry Springer documentary on Netflix is that only one person was murdered after being on the show.

Taylor Kitsch is getting people’s hopes up about a Friday Night Lights revival.

In the event The Simpsons ever ends — which it never will, duh — it will just be a regular episode, no big FINALE finale.

Could Shark Tank‘s Kevin O’Leary save TikTok?

Love is officially dead.
