Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Goodbye, Carrie. It was a hoot while it lasted.
This is fun news: The Traitors is casting an all-civilian season that will air on NBC. You can apply at TheTraitorsUS.com now, and start clearing your schedule for May and June.
We have our first look at The Boys‘ prequel series, Vought Rising:
Ron Howard’s rant about the testing of A Beautiful Mind and Matt’s note in The Studio was inspired by a real note Seth Rogen made at a screening of Borat, and this makes me very happy. (Though I suspect he meant Larry Charles, who was Borat‘s director, not Larry David, but then again, I wasn’t there, so who knows. It also tracks that Larry David would make fun of him, too.)
Sorry to disappoint you, but that wasn’t Taylor in the bear costume.
The remarkable history of the Ed Sullivan Theater.
Pamela Anderson would like to sell you some pickles for a good cause.
Halle Berry had the perfect response to her ex David Justice’s foolishness, saying that their marriage fell apart because she didn’t seem “motherly.”
LOL, President Cankles offered Tom Cruise a Kennedy Center Honors award, but he said, “No thank you please.” Not a Cruise fan, but bravo, sir.
As for you, Paul Stanley, I’m disappointed.
Jillian Michaels — whose only expertise that I am aware of is yelling at people to lose weight faster than is actually healthy — went on CNN to defend this administration’s determination to whitewash history and minimize slavery. It was not well-received.

Michaels doubled down with breathtaking stupidity on social media in her defense. So, I’ve recently been to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and I can assure you that there is not a single exhibit that blames all white people throughout all of history for slavery. Her defensiveness about this topic is very telling.
