With the great writer’s strike of 2023 finally resolved, tv shows are beginning to air again. The late night hosts are back at it already, and more programs will be returning in the upcoming weeks. If Drew Barrymore had her way, she would’ve had her show back on the air sooner than that. In a seemingly affront to her writing staff (and the rest of the WGA), she originally planned bring her show back without the writers. This act did not go unforgotten as when Barrymore’s show officially returns, the head co-writers will not be returning with it. Chelsea White,…

It seems so long ago since the writer’s strike happened and eventually ended. When it started back in May of 2023, some shows had not concluded their current season. “Saturday Night Live” was one of those shows. Before season 48 wrapped prematurely, former cast member Pete Davidson was all set to host an episode. Well, that fell apart fast, but now that the strike is over, Pete’s finally getting his chance to host later this month. “SNL” went through a huge transition going into season 48. There was a grand exodus of cast members that were considered staples of the…

There’s a lot that you can say about the Catholic Church, much of which has already been said by hundreds of millions of people over the centuries. Even though the power of the church and the Pope has diminished over the years, His Holiness Pope Francis still holds sways over millions of people across the world. Whether that sway is a good or bad thing is a contentious point. And yet despite being the head of a more conservative institution, Pope Francis is taking aim at something considered a more liberal cause; climate change. On Wednesday, the pontiff released a…

Not every company gets to make its way into the history books. Those that do can enter it in one of two ways that can basically be summed up as “good” or “bad.” Earlier this week, Dish Network is now part of that history, and not in the good way. They’ll now go down in history as the first company to be fined by the FCC for space debris. Dish Network has long been a satellite television provider, one of the largest in the United States. In 2002 they launched their satellite, EchoStar-7. Obviously you can’t just launch satellites into…

It has been a tough road for Toys “R” Us over the last decade or so. Dwindling sales and a failure to keep up with online retailing resulted in the storied chain of toy stores going bankrupt in 2019. All the stores across the United States shut their doors and put the name up for sale. This was pretty crushing to adults who grew up with the store being a part of their childhoods. Fortunately for toy lovers everywhere, things have been picking up over the last couple years for Toys “R” Us, and you may just see them coming…

The journey that Britney Spears has gone on over the last decade and a half has been one that has never been out of the public eye, which is perhaps part of the problem. Ever since her emotional breakdown back in 2007 nearly ever action she’s made has been critiqued to death. Even after the end of her conservatorship in 2021, she’s still being picked apart in the media regarding her wellness. And following a recent video she posted to her Instagram page, the LAPD performed a wellness check on her earlier this week. To set the story here, Spears…

On September 27th, the Philadelphia Phillies played host to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a late season Major League Baseball game. Of the many people planning to attend the game, one of them was Joie Henney. Regrettably for Joie though, entrance was denied to his emotional support animal. Many of us know how invaluable animals can be for their sense of loyalty and unconditional love. But apparently Citizens Bank Park draws a line at emotional support animals when they’re alligators. Well, it’s not just alligators. According to an article from Nexstar, service animals or service animals in training are perfectly welcome…

We are very sorry to report the passing of Irish actor Michael Gambon. While his career spanned numerous decades, he became most well-known across the world for his portrayal of Albus Dumbledore in the “Harry Potter” film franchise. Gambon took over the role starting with “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” after the passing of original actor Richard Harris. Gambon saw the role through to the end of the mainline franchise in 2011 but continued to act in film, on television and the stage until 2019. Sir Michael Gambon leaves behind a legacy of performances that have left a…

It’s only been a few weeks since convicted rapist Danny Masterson, was sentenced to 30 years in prison. It won’t be much longer though until he’s back in court again, alongside Scientology itself. Even though the initial case came down to Masterson’s actions against multiple women, the involvement of the Church of Scientology added a terrifying layer of harassment to what the victims went through. Those actions have not been forgotten and a day in court has been set for that as well. This civil case against Masterson and the Church of Scientology has been pending since 2019, filed by…

The nature of the beast that is streaming, can be a frustrating one sometimes. So many shows, so many platforms, and yet somehow there are still shows that are nowhere to be found. For years that was the case with “Moonlighting,” the detective comedy series starring Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd. From 1985 – 1989 the program ran on ABC but was nowhere to be seen on any Disney streaming platforms despite them presumably having the rights to the show. Late last year we reported that something was in the works that might bring the show back to the “airwaves”…
