Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is set to resume filming following the pause caused by the Taylor Frankie Paul drama. It’s unclear if Paul will return (though I don’t know how she doesn’t), or when filming will begin. According to TMZ, Dakota Mortensen will not return (and nor should he).
It sounds like the sixth season of Bridgerton will indeed follow Eloise’s story (though I really think it would be funny to keep hers until the final season just to drive the book fans crazy).
The number of times I gasped reading this article about Gen X icon, Jami Gertz: what do you mean she’s a BILLIONAIRE? What do you mean SHE OWNS THE ATLANTA HAWKS? What do you MEAN she’s best known for SIXTEEN CANDLES?
Kash Patel’s lawsuit against MS Now’s news analyst and pundit Frank Figliuzzi has been thrown out by a judge. (A Texas-based U.S. District judge at that!)
This is one of those stories that I can not avoid on my feed, so I suppose people care about it and I should share it with you. Apparently, Sydney Sweeney had a cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2, but they cut it, because reasons. I guess people think it is a diss or a response to her politics or that jean ad, but the official story is that the sequence didn’t work storywise. As someone else pointed out, Anna Wintour also had her bit cut, so I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Tucker Carlson is sorry he simped for a man he “passionately” hated who has led us into an unpopular war and whose ratings are rapidly sinking, you guys.

Cancellations
- The Great Christmas Light Fight has been paused at ABC after 13 seasons.
In Development
- ESPN Jeopardy!, hosted by Joe Buck, has been ordered at Hulu and Disney+. (True story: I tried out for Teen Jeopardy! when I was 12 years old [I did not make it on, but my older cousin made it all the way to the simulated game/interview stage, where he told a story that got him immediately eliminated, but that’s a completely different story] and Alex Trebek was at the audition, and he took questions. Having just taken the test, I asked Alex Trebek why there had to be so many sports questions, and he just laughed at me. I was totally serious. Anyway, this show sounds like my personal nightmare.)
