Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Please don’t drive your car through Jennifer Aniston’s house.
A thing I did not know: Roseanne Barr was initially offered the role of Peg Bundy in Married with Children, which certainly would have taken the show in a different direction. It also makes it SUPER INTERESTING that The Conners then hired Married with Children‘s eventual Peg Bundy, Katey Sagal, after Roseanne Barr was fired from her own show to serve as Dan Conner’s second wife. HMMM.
Look, listen: it’s a fun theory. It’s never going to happen.
Aimee Lou Wood will not be doing a cameo on Walton Goggins’ Saturday Night Live this weekend, and that’s fine, but it’s not doing anything to tamp down those rumors. (Her showing up to the Met Gala with Patrick Schwarzenegger and avoiding Goggins on the blue carpet also didn’t do much to end the talk about what MIGHT HAVE happened between them on the set of The White Lotus.)
Pajiba agrees with my skepticism that audiences have abandoned The Last of Us — but unlike me, they actually explain themselves.
Oh yay! Philly is going to celebrate hometown girl, Quinta Brunson!
Enjoy interacting with your audience now, Ben Stiller, but you might want to check in with Damon Lindelof on how that might eventually turn out.
General Hospital‘s Maurice Benard says ABC made a mistake when they canceled All My Children and One Life to Live AND HE’S NOT WRONG.
A gentle reminder: Bobby Moynihan and Horatio Sanz are NOT the same person, please do not confuse them.
SpinCo is now Versant. (Versant will be the new home of MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and Golf Channel.)
The Met Gala was yesterday, and here are all the very pretty clothes.
#MeToo
Sean Combs’ trial begins this week in New York City — but first we have to get through jury selection.
Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, Tucker Carlson is crying to President Sexual Assaulter to “rescue” Russell Brand who is being tried for sexual assault. Except, oops, he’s being tried in the U.K., so there’s not a whole lot to be done. OH WELL.
Shannon Sharpe is stepping aside from ESPN’s First Take in the wake of the lawsuit and sexual assault allegations against him.
Over in Harvey Weinstein’s retrial, a new accuser, model/actress Kaja Sokola, was formally named. She accuses him of sexually assaulting her when she was as young as 16 years old.
A former member of Menudo is suing Edgardo Díaz, the band’s founder and manager, for repeatedly sexually assaulting him and handing him off to others, including José Menendez, the father of the Menendez brothers, for further abuse.
Oh sure: after making homophobic comments to Jojo Siwa, sexually inappropriate comments to Ella Rae Wise, and becoming aggressive towards Chris Hughes on Celebrity Big Brother U.K., Mickey Rourke is considering suing the show. Good luck with all that, Mickey.
The BBC’s Workplace Culture Review has decided that the BBC didn’t have a toxic workplace environment, you guys. It was just a couple bad apples, apparently — but don’t worry, those bad apples get to keep their jobs.
