Who woulda guessed that “Tiger King” would continue to be the gift that keeps on giving? Certainly not us, the reluctant viewers who have somehow become fascinated with the people involved.

Last night during the Oscars telecast, audiences were treated to a rare Harrison Ford public appearance. For those of you who seemingly forgot, the actor is self-admittedly painfully shy. He doesn’t really like large groups of people, and absolutely hates public speaking (for the most part). Sure, this can sometimes come across as out of touch, possibly aloof and uncomfortable, but it was just normal, pure Harrison Ford. While introducing the best editing nominees, Ford read several editorial comments about one of the greatest films of all time, Ridley Scott’s seminal “Blade Runner.” If this moment was lost on you,…

We’re not sure how to tell you this, but Elon Musk will be hosting “Saturday Night Live.” No, this isn’t a joke. The long-running NBC sketch comedy show announced Musk’s hosting along with the musical guest, Miley Cyrus. This news was met with immediate concerns about just how loose cannon-y Musk might be. This wasn’t really helped by a tweet from the Tesla Motors founder. “Let’s find out just how live Saturday Night Live is,” with a smiling devil face. Maybe it’ll be ok? Maybe….yeah no.
