For all my Spooky Season girlies:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Apparently, those character details we learned about the upcoming Buffy reboot were all lies.
The fact that The Voice producers didn’t even look up from their phones during Chappell Roan’s audition explains a lot about why I can’t name a single The Voice winner. Dummies.
Steve Doocy is leaving the Fox & Friends couch to anchor from his vacation homes.
If you’re interested, Shōgun, season two begins filming in early 2026.
Hey, maybe don’t hijack an interview in this way, guy.
Jeremy Renner doesn’t have time for Disney’s stinginess.
I watched this interview with Gillian Anderson on ITV when she said she was down to revive Scully in The X-Files with Ryan Coogler. Great! Can we get Duchovny on the phone, please? (True story: the talk show segment ended with the one of the hosts playing a child’s recorder while Anderson covered her ears and screamed in pain, but no one reports that part.)
The Peabodys named their winners.
The Critics Choice Real TV Awards have announced their nominees.
I do not understand how the folks involved with this don’t understand that some people don’t want to give their money to a transphobic billionaire. Mind you, there are probably more people who are more than happy to overlook her transphobia in exchange for more Harry Potter. But the issue with the critics isn’t that the Harry Potter series is going to be turned into a platform for her politics; it’s that they don’t want to reward her politics.
Kit Harington couldn’t help but see what a talented actress Bella Ramsey was back in the Game of Thrones days: “There was a real feeling of you being a different entity of child actor. … You brought a confidence and clarity that was quite unusual for a young actor. It didn’t feel like working with a child. It felt like working with a very experienced actor.”
“Butt Pregnancy” absolutely sounds like a sketch on TGS with Tracy Jordan.
Robert De Niro makes it look like it’s easy to love your children or something.
Patti Lupone will not be returning to American Horror Story, thankyouverymuch.
No part of this is surprising.
What’s going on with Doctor Who?
Thoughts for Floribama Shore star Kirk Medas.
