Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
The crisis dividing America right now: Kelly Clarkson vs. the Brooklyn game store and the $15,000 animatronic bird. I mean, the price tag is clearly visible. Anyway: be polite to all customers when they come in, don’t call them liars, and learn how to properly apologize on the internet so you don’t torpedo your own business, the end.
If Mike Flanagan wants to remake Jaws and Jurassic Park, we’re going to let him remake Jaws and Jurassic Park. Because when Stephen King calls you the “King Whisperer,” you get to do what you want. (I mean, I’d personally like to see him take on Pet Sematary, The Shining, It, Salem’s Lot, and The Stand, but if he wants to tackle Steven Spielberg, who am I to tell him no?)
FX was “too fucking cheap” to drive its actors home from their American Horror Story shoots. FX: GET IT TOGETHER, THOSE LADIES ARE ICONS.
NO. Next question?
You can’t tell me Tom showing his Welling in that Instagram story wasn’t entirely intentional so that we would start talking about Tom Welling again.
I just knew those two were doing kinky shit with all those wigs.
A former SVP of Fox News Digital called out his former employer for not covering the Kimberly Guilfoyle pay-for-play scandal, calling it “journalistic malpractice.” And what do you know, four hours later, the story appears. Anyway, she’s about to get canned. The best is yet to come, amirite?
Here are 13 facts about our new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia, not one of which will surprise you.
For once that fucking liar tells the truth.
Someone please muzzle Selma Blair.
I genuinely hope Milania Giudice gets the help she needs. It couldn’t have been easy to grow up with that family on reality television.

RJ Mitte, Breaking Bad actor and disability activist
Oh my God! Was working just found out about RJ
I am heartbroken
Though RJ didn’t play my TV son, I always looked out for him as a young kid on set. He was a sweetheart of a young man and will be greatly missed. This is so heartbreaking, I can’t believe it. Thinking of him and his family.
💔💔💔💔💔💔— Dean Norris (@deanjnorris) October 12, 2026
My heart is shattered. There will never be another like RJ Mitte. You will always have a place in my heart. RIP https://t.co/kfS8gv5kHx

What a kind and wonderful person. Devastating. So young and genuinely nice to everyone he spoke to. This is truly awful. Sending love to his family.

I didn’t know RJ terribly well and we’d lost touch some time ago. But I knew him well enough to know that he had a beautiful soul. I mean, I don’t have to tell that to anyone who saw his work. It bled through everything he did. Clearly he was hurting. And now we’re all on social media declaring our love. Seems a tragedy that this always happens too late. See ya on the next ride, my friend. To everyone: to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline just dial 988. ❤️

beyond heartbreaking, his work on breaking bad was incredible and I think a big reason why ozymandias had a 10/10 IMDb rating was due to his performance being so powerfully shattering. just the fucking worst news ever. RIP
