Night Crumbs
Earlier this week, several suspicious Twitter accounts claimed that there was going to be an announcement about the late Stephen Sondheim’s unfinished musical Square One. Then this morning, one of those suspicious Twitter accounts announced that Sondheim muse Bernadette Peters and Nathan Lane were going to star in the Broadway premiere of Square One in 2023. Well, if it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. It was a hoax. There are no plans for a production of Square One, and Bernadette’s rep shut down the rumor. I know that the First Commandment should really be “Thou Shalt Not Trust Twitter,” but the trick or tricks behind this hoax went too far. How dare they mess with the emotions of theater queens by making us believe that the legendary Bernadette was about to croon out a new Sondheim song on a Broadway stage. Send that evil prankster immediately to Death Row, or worse, make them watch Diana: The Musical – The A.V. Club
Panera’s Charged Lemonade went viral after a TikToker said she was drinking them regularly until she found out one of them has 260 milligrams of caffeine (about four shots of espresso) and at least 62 grams of sugar (almost twice as much as a can of Coke). So if you want to visit space but don’t want to take a ride on Jeff Bezos’ dick rocket, just drink a Panera Charged Lemonade and up, up, you’ll go. But sadly, I drink so much coffee all day that I’d probably take a big gulp of a Charged Lemonade and say, “Is it in yet?!” – Celebitchy
Victoria Beckham threw a “holiday party” for her beauty brand at her London store, and missing from that shit was David Beckham (he’s in Qatar for World Cup), her beloved daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, and absolutely anything that’d tell you this party was for the holidays – Lainey Gossip
Reese Witherspoon will star in a new Amazon Prime show that should be called Tina Lasso because it’s about a former American cheerleader who cons her way into teaching cheerleading at a school in England. Laura Jeanne Poon better behave herself when she’s across the pond filming her new show because if she gets busted by the bobbies, they’ll only look at her with question marks in their eyes when she screams, “I am an American citizen!” – The Hollywood Reporter
Dave Chappelle’s Hollywood Bowl attacker got nine months in the clink – NBC News
Showtime’s like, “Look at us, we’re the opposite HBO Max,” because they’ve renewed Yellowjackets for a third season before the second season has even aired – Just Jared
Yes, Survivor is still on. Yes, I still watch it. And yes, I screamed “RECOUNT” over last night’s season 43 winner – Pajiba
