If this doesn’t become a foster fail, I am going to have a meltdown. That’s HIS boy.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
While I was gone, President Jinx went to Game Three of the NBA Finals in New York, and it did not go well for him (or the Knicks).
Following this, President Low IQ got into a fight with Stephen Smith, and I swear to God, if this leads to President Smith, I’m going to burn everything down.
And now he’s threatening to permanently keep up his ugly UFC ring that was erected on the White House lawn for his birthday party. There’s a lawsuit demanding that the event not take place on Sunday, but we’ll see if that goes anywhere sometime today, I suppose. The event is on Sunday, and if the lawsuit doesn’t stop it, it’s expected to be a bug-filled, possibly rained-out $30 million boondoggle that no one interesting will attend. OH WELL.
The Television Critics Awards nominees were announced, and at the top of the list: Widow’s Bay; Industry; and Heated Rivalry led with five nominations each. I’m happy with the nominees, but genuinely feel like Alien: Earth deserved more love.
Wrong Man Bill Maher is wrong. And even wronger again.
On the good news of Widow’s Bay‘s renewal (see below in Renewals), another fan:

I’m sorry if people have been having a go at you because of my tweet. Not at all the plan. I was very slightly drunk and already upset about something that had nothing to do with you. If it’s any comfort, I got it in the neck too. I’m a thin-skinned twat, apparently, even…

This week’s unhinged conspiracy theory? That Shakira used a body double in her World Cup performance.
I don’t know how many times I have to tell you people to not be crazy towards actors.
Milania Giudice was arrested last month for simple assault and causing bodily injury, and not to be mean, but this is the least surprising thing I’ve ever read.
GET WELL SOON, SIMONE BILES. I AM SERIOUS. (And to the man who reduced Biles, one of the greatest Olympic athletes in my lifetime, to “NFL Wife” in a headline: watch your back, sir.)
I’m hoping things get better for Kristen Storms and she is able to return to General Hospital soon.
Congratulations, Jim Acosta and Liz Landers!
