Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
If you want to watch the Pope’s funeral live this weekend, it will air on NBC, but you’re going to have to get up reeeeallllly early to do so (as in 3 a.m., here in Central Standard Time). MSNBC will rebroadcast it at a much more reasonable time later in the day.
As for the conclave to choose a new Pope, that won’t begin for at least two weeks from now. And everyone seems to think it will be a quick one. We’ll see. In the meantime, stream Conclave on Prime Video; The Young Pope and The New Pope on Max.
Blue Bloods keeps posting cryptic things on Instagram, making fans think they might bring the series back, but I suspect this is just marketing for the upcoming spinoff series.
You’re not the only one Noah Wylie has traumatized with The Pitt: he traumatized his own mother.
In which Sarah Jessica Parker recognizes that Carrie is the worst. (Well, close enough.)
Bowen Yang is fantasizing about leaving Saturday Night Live.
A cast member of season one of Love on the Spectrum answers your Love on the Spectrum questions including whether or not the participants are paid. (No. But they go in knowing that, and all of their dates and activities are paid for.)
Congratulations, Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer!
#MeToo
A woman is suing Shannon Sharpe for $50 million, alleging he raped her multiple times during their relationship. She has tapes.
Sharpe is threatening to sue his accuser, and has said that he offered her $10 million before she walked away from the table. I don’t know that this is a thing he should have announced?
Neil Gaiman, who I guess has decided he has nothing left to lose, is suing one of his accusers for $500,000 for violating an NDA she signed about their relationship.
A Gutfeld! regular has been fired because according to him, the show has gone “woke.” And by “gone woke,” he means, he sexually harassed staffers, and Fox News, which has had its share of harassment lawsuits, didn’t think it was worth it to keep him around.
Joe Seiders, drummer for the band the New Pornographers, was arrested for possession of child pornography. (Yes, I know.)
Natalie Portman has reflected on being sexualized as a child actor and her long “Lolita phase.”
