Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Interestingly, The Bachelor has yet to be renewed by ABC — after all the turmoil that has been going on over there, it’s not a sure thing, at least for next season, we will see. And The Bachelorette is on pause for the time being. So I’m not sure if the following will actually be helpful to anyone, but if you are planning to audition for one of these shows, this is how the process works.

Bridgerton fans are spinning out over this Instagram post, convinced it’s a hint at a potential spinoff, maybe about the Featherington family? Or a Violet and Edmund prequel? Stay tuned!

CBS did well last season, better than the other networks, but Netflix did even better.

Martin Scorsese is not a fan of The Sopranos because it’s set in the New Jersey suburbs, and you just know that eats at David Chase.

James Gandolfini and Lorraine Bracco didn’t like The Sopranos finale, but they’re wrong.

Oh look, it’s another actor proving that you can just love your trans kid like it’s no big deal.

Some of y’all have been just living your lives having no idea that Stephen A. Smith has had a recurring role on General Hospital for YEARS now, and that’s amazing to me.

Oghenochuko Ojiri, an expert on the BBC show Bargain Hunt, has pleaded guilty to “offences related to terror financing” after failing to disclose “a series of high-value art sales to a man suspected of financing the proscribed group Hezbollah.” 

I don’t know if you’ve heard about the legal battle between the woman who owns the Conjuring house and Jason Hawes, the star of Ghost Hunters, but it’s bananas.

SHE’S OK. But dude, do better.

So, yeah. We have a new pope, he’s American — from Chicago (and Philly and New Orleans, depending on who you ask and how far back you go), and people have jokes:

Also, our American Pope hates him some JD Vance, so yay for our new WOKE MARXIST POPE!

PolUGHtics

Hey, he’s nominated another Fox News host for an important position because nothing means anything anymore. This is his twenty-third — TWENTY-THIRD — appointee from Fox News.

Nine Democratic senators wrote a letter to Shari Redstone, urging her to not settle the bullshit lawsuit President Extortionist filed against Paramount, CBS and 60 Minutes over editing their interview with Kamala Harris.

“This lawsuit is an attack on the United States Constitution and the First Amendment. It has absolutely no merit and it cannot stand,” the senators wrote in the letter, dated May 7. “In the United States of America, presidents do not get to punish or censor the media for criticizing them. Freedom of the press is what sets us apart from tin-pot dictatorships and authoritarian regimes.”

And yes, all of that is completely correct and accurate. But also, of course interviews are edited, because that’s how TV works BUT ALSO, HE WON, WHY IS HE BEING SUCH A BABY ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW?

President Doesn’t Know How TV Works is SO MAD at the Emmys for nominating said interview. Again, The Emmys have the chance to do the funniest thing possible.

Meanwhile, Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, is openly threatening to pull CBS’s license for reasons.

So, Jon Voight’s proposal to President Covfefe to “save” Hollywood and prevent it from “go[ing] down the drain like Detroit” involves tax incentives and, alarmingly, a “cultural test” not unlike what the U.K. requires. Here’s the thing: 1. the U.K. put into place these “cultural tests” to protect British culture from a dominant American one, but 2. the U.K. doesn’t have the First Amendment, so get the fuck out of here with your “cultural test.” Jon Voight is also very upset that Hollywood isn’t expressing enough “gratitude” for President Two Dolls’ threats to put a 100% tariff on productions made outside of the U.S.

These fuckers cut grants that supported PBS Kids, calling their programming “woke propaganda.” Because heaven forfend that racially diverse kids see themselves reflected back in the shows they watch.

Hey, you know what is propaganda? One America News, which is going to be in charge of Voice of America now. Cool.

A number of cast members of the Kennedy Center performance of Les Misérables are refusing to perform in the June 11th show when President Defund the Arts will be in attendance. GOOD. The interim director of the Kennedy Center, Richard Grennell, is having a full-fledged meltdown about it. Cry more.

Of course, that nonsense about reopening Alcatraz was because he saw something on the Teevees. Of course it was.
