Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Paramount offered President TACO $15 million to settle the 60 Minutes lawsuit. He rejected it, demanding at least $25 million and an apology, claiming he suffered “mental anguish” because of the Kamala Harris interview. For once, I think he’s not lying.
Obviously the Chrisleys’ release from prison will be filmed for the new reality show. Of course it will.
Ohmygod, they are auctioning off David Lynch’s stuff, and I WANT IT ALL.
Joshua Jackson is grateful to John Oliver for talking up Doctor Odyssey as it awaits its fate (though Doctor Odyssey‘s chances for renewal don’t sound great) (though wouldn’t it be AMAZING if this is why it was renewed?):

We now know why Parker Posey’s character was so bitchy to Leslie Bibb’s character on The White Lotus: because she’s a bitch. That’s it. No grand conspiracy theories needed.
Speaking of: Parker Posey will be honored with the Legend Tribute at the Gotham Television Awards, which, good for her, but it is interesting as I think of her as more of a film actress. But then White Lotus happened and here we are.
I’m always going to be a Rural Juror superfan, but there are some other pretty great fake movies on this list. (How could I forget Cleaver?)
Hey, George? You wanna know how to get people to stop bitching about you not writing the book? TRY WRITING THE DAMN BOOK.
Like I said yesterday (?) we are now entering Emmy madness. As such, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel prepared negative For Your Consideration ads against one another, and they’re pretty great:
Congratulations to the Murphy and Lawrence families! They better make some funny babies!
