It was a good night.
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
I’m pulling together my thoughts about the election, but this didn’t seem like the place to put them. Stay tuned. And thank you for voting. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you.
To recap: Martha Stewart dressed as an unhoused person for Halloween holding a sign that read: “I am hungry. Help me!” It was not a good look, and people were pissed. First, she tried to claim that people shouldn’t be mad at her for her awful Halloween costume because she has supported charities that combat homelessness and hunger. But the charity she pointed to was like, “Don’t drag us into it,” so then she pivoted and blamed a Black man. MARTHA, NO.
Soooooo … the “wardrobe malfunction” was planned all along? According to the upcoming Justin Timberlake docuseries (so take it with a grain of salt), it was actually an editing malfunction, not a wardrobe malfunction.
I don’t know, I think I’m on Eric Dane’s side on this one.
Glenn Close is amazing. Look, All’s Fair, which she’s promoting here, is a terrible show, but God bless Glenn Close for leaning into the camp of it all.
Glad to hear Melissa Rycroft is getting help.
