Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
John Oliver begins a three-episode arc in an amazing wig on Days of Our Lives tomorrow!
The voice of Bart Simpson thinks The Simpsons will end with the 40th season, which is just a couple of years away.
Yeah, well, Meghan “My Father” McCain didn’t want to come back to The View anyway, SO THERE.
Hey … what’s going on here? Is there another The Boys project in the works or are they just keeping us on the line until Vought Rising comes out next year?
The California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, explains why the states are filing this antitrust lawsuit against the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, and if you’re interested in this case, it’s worth your while to hear the opposition to the merger.
Taylor Swift’s lawyers know what they’re doing.
Amanda Knox is now a comedian? And the family of her murdered roommate, Meredith Kercher, is, understandably, not amused. Does Knox have every right to tell her story as she sees fit? Of course. Does the Kercher family have the right to think that’s gross and inappropriate? Also yes.
I didn’t bother talking about how the Miss USA pageant stripped their Miss North Carolina of her crown because she repeatedly and enthusiastically used the “N-word,” because, who cares. But now she’s claiming that they took her crown back because she’s a Republican, so now I’m mentioning it because it’s so funny when people tell on themselves.
It’s sad that wishing someone well can be a controversial act, but it’s also sad what Perez Hilton did to many people over the years.
Take care of yourself, Christopher Lambert!
Now stay healthy, Cheri Oteri!
Hope whatever is going on is resolved soon, Brandi Carlisle.
Congratulations, Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott!
I’m keeping the entire Biden family in my thoughts.
