President Sundowner thinks that if he calls for prominent Black people to be arrested, you’ll forget about him and Jeffrey Epstein

This is a perfectly reasonable reaction:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Worst Cooks in America paid tribute to Anne Burrell at the end of the season premiere episode last night.

Monica Lewinsky had some thoughts on Jay Leno’s recent bullshit about how late-night comedians shouldn’t be partisan (even though he targeted a Democratic president with jokes 30% more than a Republican president). And this asshole, he’s out here claiming he never targeted Lewinsky, she was just an “easy” punchline. Also, he’s not going to apologize because she was in the news at the time, and everyone was doing it. For the record, David Letterman expressed his regret for using her as an easy joke back in 2014. 

You can go see your favorite MSNBC personalities live this fall, if you’re so inclined, you news nerd.

I dunno, American Eagle and Sydney Sweeney, maybe making a “good genes” pun about a blonde-haired, blue-eyed actress isn’t the best look, especially while we’re living under a fascist regime?

A roadmap for a second season of We Were Liars is in the works — though it has not been officially renewed yet. Still mad about how this show ended, btw. Check back in on me later.

Get well soon, Dion Sanders.

Honestly, I get it.

PolUGHtics

President Liar is calling, again, for ABC and NBC’s licenses to be pulled for reasons.  This is my favorite part of his little rant: “Networks aren’t allowed to be political pawns for the Democrat Party!” Meanwhile, Fox News over here:

The Broadcast TV lobby is out here sucking up to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr because they see which side their bread is buttered. Also, this is the most corrupt administration of all time, so that’s cool.

President Dingus has Jim Cramer out here cursing on TV. 

President Fluid Retention keeps digging himself into a deeper hole with this Epstein mess, now claiming he “never had the privilege” to visit Epstein’s sex crimes island. THE PRIVILEGE?

As you can imagine, late night had a field day with this.

“[imitating Trump] Sadly, I never had the honor of dining with Jeffrey Dahmer.” — Stephen Colbert

‘Hey Donald, you want to go to the island this weekend?’ ‘Well, first of all, Jeffrey, thank you for thinking of me. Unfortunately, that’s the weekend that the teen pageant that I bought is installing the indoor security locker room cameras.’” — Jon Stewart

“‘Privilege’ makes it seem like you never turned down an invitation. It seems like you were checking your messages every day in hopes one was forthcoming. He’d be like, [imitating Trump] ‘Any calls from Jeffrey?’ ” — Seth Meyers

“Trump was like, ‘I’m sorry, what I really meant was I never had the honor.’” — Jimmy Fallon

Anyway, to try to distract from the Epstein files, President Fluid Retention has called for Oprah, President Obama, and Beyoncé to be arrested, because he loves nothing more than accusing a famous Black person of a crime they didn’t commit to distract from his own crimes.

#MeToo

A fifth woman has come forward to accuse Smokey Robinson of sexual battery. 

Michael Ward, a British actor known for Top Boy and Small Axe, has been charged with two counts of rape and three counts of sexual battery.

A creepy 2003 Anthony Anderson interview of an underage Lindsey Lohan has re-emerged where Anderson tells Lohan, “Well, you know some men like them young. We ain’t gonna mention no names, but you know, I’m one of them.” Anderson is sorry about that, but might sue you if you implied he meant anything other than just making a joke. And because he’s throwing legal language around, I won’t directly mention events that were alleged to have happened in Memphis back in 2004.

Azealia Banks, who proudly voted for President Sex Pest, is now saying that child rape is no biggie since he might be implicated as being a child rapist.

Christian singer Michael Tait has been accused by several young men and teen boys of sexual misconduct and substance abuse. 

Cote de Pablo declined an intimacy coordinator on the upcoming Paramount+ series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which is her right to do so. But it is interesting: if I were a studio or production company working on a project that included intimate scenes, I would require an intimacy coordinator to legally cover myself.

People are trying to astroturf Pedro Pascal, suggesting that he’s inappropriate and creepy with his co-stars based on … photos of him at public events with his co-stars? There is literally nothing to see here, except an attempt by transphobic assholes to cancel a man because he has the bravery to stand up for trans rights.

We were so weird about teen performers and their “purity” in the ’90s and ’00s.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673), which routes the caller to their nearest sexual assault service provider. You can also search for your local center here.
