Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
The Stranger Things cast and creators talk about the upcoming ending to the show they spent a decade of their lives working on. “’I’m not going to cry. I’m going to feel very normal, and it’s going to be great.’” And then halfway through, I just started totally bawling my eyes out.”
American Stranger Things fans, I hate to break it to you, but you’ll have to go to Europe or Latin America to get your hands on one of these Stranger Things-themed Happy Meals. WHAT UP, MCDONALD’S? DO YOU HATE MAKING MONEY OR SOMETHING?
Interesting time to run a Monica Lewinsky story, Entertainment Weekly. Very interesting time.
Season 27 Dancing With the Stars winner, Bobby Bones, says he returned his mirrored disco ball trophy after Tom Bergeron hurt his feelings. I actually am siding with Bones here — he, like Andy Richter, tried his best. Was he not supposed to do that? And it begs the question, why cast people like Bones or Andy Richter who don’t have dancing experience, if you don’t want to see how far they can go, maybe all the way? It was an unnecessary comment on Bergeron’s part, honestly, and I don’t blame Bones for having his feelings hurt.
@mrbobbybones Everybody dance!
Sounds like no one wants to pay to watch MLS Soccer on Apple TV. (They’ll just raise the price on the rest of us to cover this, just watch.)
Fresh Joey episodes just dropped. (OK, but did anyone ask for this?)
Here’s a list of TV characters you wouldn’t want to invite to Thanksgiving, and, I don’t know, I think having the Roys there would be very entertaining.
BBC says: “Sorry we edited your speech that way, but we’re not paying you a shilling. Kick rocks.” MORE OF THIS, AMERICAN MEDIA.
Where’s the anti-trust concern about Paramount acquiring Warner Bros., Congressman?
Oh my gosh, I had completely forgotten about Whoopi Goldberg Birthday Cakegate until now.
I am not sure intimacy coordinators would approve of any of this.
Don’t expect any Real Housewives of New Jersey casting news out of BravoCon this weekend.
Yo, stop duping Morgan Freeman’s voice.
Last Chance U star and Laney College athletic director John Beam was reportedly shot on campus and is currently hospitalized.
Sending Tyler Henry good thoughts, telepathically.
