Kaitlan Collins brushes President Porky’s dirt off her shoulders


White women aren’t afraid of nothing.

I booped a big bear on his nose! You can watch it here! He was itchy and I thought he’d like some scratches with a children’s toy rake but he didn’t. Bears have a way of showing you what they want and what they don’t want. I then asked him to sit and he sat. He is a good boy. Who could ask for more? #bear #animals #wildlife #nature #fyp

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Kaitlan Collins was neither surprised nor shaken by The Bully-in-Chief’s attack on her at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

I somehow missed that President Chode was suing The New York Times over an article that suggested that The Apprentice made him a celebrity. Anyway, a judge is allowing him to amend his lawsuit after the paper tried to get the case thrown out on account of it being bullshit.

Apparently the cast of American Horror Story will be playing all of their multiple roles in this upcoming 13th season? OK, Ryan Murphy. We’ll see.

Ryan Murphy tells us ‘American Horror Story: 13’ is “not a Coven story” ― it’s so much more 🤯 #ryanmurphy #americanhorrorstory #ahs #ahs13

Kelly Ripa is not going to be back on our TV screens for weeks, not until September.

Penny and Desmond 4Eva.

Between KJ Apa revealing he developed an eating disorder and was using drugs and Lili Reinhart revealing that she had body dysmorphia and mental health issues and now Camila Mendes revealing that she also had an eating disorder and panic attacks, I’m starting to think that Riverdale wasn’t the healthiest set to be on.

Meghan Markle was a guest judge on MasterChef Australia, and a bunch of people watched it, and it made the royals SO ANGRY.

Do not be rude to Will Ferrell.

A Twin Peaks tour featuring a number of the stars of the show is on its way this fall and winter.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri changed her last name to Holmes. (Good for her.)

A thing I did not know until this week: the Primetime and Daytime Emmys are run by two different organizations, organizations that used to be a singular organization and that are considering reuniting.

Least surprising story ever: there are some executives at Warner Bros. who hope the states’ lawsuit against the Paramount merger is successful.

Might cable TV be the thing that prevents this merger from happening? Probably not! But maybe!

A group of former FCC commissioners is calling on Brendan Carr to end his attack on ABC, saying that his review of their broadcast licenses is “an assault on free speech disguised as regulatory process.” Indeed.

#MeToo

Courtney Stodden called Jason Alexander out for a 2012 Funny or Die sketch that he wrote and starred in with her when she was 17. And she’s right:

To his credit, Alexander extended an apology via TMZ:

“Looking back at the comedy sketch in which Ms. Stodden and I participated in 2012, I completely agree that it was inappropriate and I truly regret it. But more importantly, I am deeply sorry for any harm or distress it has caused Ms. Stodden. I offer her my sincerest apologies.”

Stodden seemed genuinely surprised that Alexander apologized, but added that she would appreciate support on her actual cause: to pass California bill AB 1267, which would ban child marriage and make the legal marriage age 18. 

“I’m very taken aback that an adult was actually able to take accountability because I haven’t heard a lot of adults take accountability,” Stodden explains. “When I first got word that he publicly apologized I was grateful because I think that’s the first step in change. At the same time, I think it would be even better if he put that into action, so I would urge Jason Alexander to support AB 1267 and support what’s happening in California or even donate to Unchained at Last.”

I’m happy to report that Jason Alexander made a $15 thousand donation to Unchained at Last.

Child marriage is allowed in 34 states, and the vast majority of these marriages are underage girls to adult men. In three of those states, there is NO MINIMUM AGE with a parent’s or a judge’s permission. And here’s another horrific fact: though it is legal for children to marry in those states with their parents’ permission, they can not seek a divorce before they are 18 because they are not old enough to legally do so. No, but seriously, what the fuck is wrong with us?

That asshole is still trying to claw back the money he was forced to pay E. Jean Carroll.

Andrew Tate says he is in jail with “cannibals” and is being given dirty water, and my heart, it bleeds.

Former Top Chef contestant Eric Adjepong has been accused of abusing his daughter. He’s blaming the allegations on a nasty divorce (basically).

A tragic case out of Oklahoma, where a TikTok influencer, Sara Gilson, was murdered by her husband after she made a video revealing he was a pedophile. Her husband, Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey, then killed himself.

What happened to #MeToo? It’s almost as if it never happened.

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
