‘The Pitt’ is a love fest … literally.

I don’t know for sure, but I think this is what my 6’5″ husband sees when my 5′ family members and I argue.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Not sure if I’ve mentioned this here, but a bunch of the actors’ real-life romantic partners have made guest appearances on The Pitt. When’s Grant Show going to make an appearance already?

An auction of And Just Like That costumes and props is taking place right now, so it’s your opportunity to own some of those fabulous shoes … 

According to Jane Kaczmarek, Erik Per Sullivan turned down “buckets of money” to return as Dewey in the Malcolm in the Middle revival to study literature at Harvard instead. Good for him.

Lisa Kudrow thinks sitcoms should stop being afraid of offending people and return to the days of well-written comedies like “30 Rock and Seinfeld and Friends.” SHE’S NOT WRONG.

Speaking of 30 Rock, Olivia Munn nearly landed the role of Avery (who was ultimately played by Elizabeth Banks), but lost the role because Alec Baldwin thought she was “too young.” One, she would have been great in the role, and that’s not a diss on Banks, who was terrific. But two, this is ironic considering Alec Baldwin is 23 years older than Munn and TWENTY-FIVE years older than his actual wife. So.

Charlie’s Angels had a 50th anniversary reunion yesterday.

The nominations for the 47th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards have been announced. 

The Peabody nominations for Documentary, News, Public Service, and Radio/Podcast were also announced. 

A Roman court has ruled that Netflix increased their prices illegally in some instances, and some subscribers will be eligible for refunds (but probably not you, unless you are reading this in Italy).

Hoping Offset recovers soon.

Hoping Déjà Vu recovers from Bell’s Palsy quickly.

#MeToo

Melissa Gilbert gave an interview to Good Morning America, defending her husband, Timothy Busfield, who has been charged with sexually abusing children. She insists he is innocent and that she is neither “naive” nor “complicit,” and that he’s “the last person in the world who would hurt a child.”

And in part two of Busfield’s public relations defense strategy, his lawyer put out a statement accusing the parents of the children in question of being fraudsters.

Sooooo … last week, Vanity Fair posted a video of a bunch of SNL cast members playing various games with each other, and in one, they had to guess what job Chloe Fineman had been fired and rehired from, with a bonus question, “Why Was I Fired?” She went on to reveal a wild story about being a 16-year-old camp counselor, and how a 6-year-old boy would repeatedly ask to hug her, only to lift her shirt. To get revenge, she pantsed the child as a school bus drove by, and his “little ding-a-ling was out.” Her castmates were shocked by this, and Ashley Padilla jokes that Fineman is probably “on a list somewhere.” 

So, none of this is great, right? The story is horrifying, Fineman shouldn’t have share it, and Vanity Fair maybe shouldn’t have posted it. But they did, and then this week, some viewers noticed that it had been edited to remove the parts where Fineman said his “little ding-a-ling was out,” and Padilla’s joke about being on a list. Clearly, some publicist got on the phone and had a fit, but just … ick.

A judge has tossed out Blake Lively’s sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni, not because they weren’t valid, but because the incidents took place on a set in New Jersey, and she was trying to apply California law. Lively issued a statement vowing to continue fighting.

Lili Reinhart had a male director tell her to “suck in [her] stomach” because men. Hex him, ladies.

Trust, we will all be hexing whoever this man is @Lili Reinhart! #AlexandraShipp #LolaTung #VictoriaPedretti #ForbiddenFruits

Oh, Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales has been accused of harassing another staff member? I’m shocked.

“In America they don’t like women. They won’t let a woman be president, not in the foreseeable future. Look what happened to Hillary Clinton. The patriarchy is so invasive and so insidious, it’s hard to throw it off. I think the patriarchy is a fucking mess, and it’s the patriarchy that got us into the position that we’re in at the moment, and we don’t learn the lessons. I say, give it over to the women.” I SEE YOU, BRIAN COX.

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.
