Kenner’s Tree Tots Family Tree House!

Throughout the 1980s, I sometimes would come across the plastic green jewel that was Kenner’s Tree Tots Family Tree House. Although, at the time, I thought it was really an opulent tree house playset for Fisher-Price’s Little People line of toys. But no, I didn’t learn until much later that this architectural wonder, straight out of Mother Nature’s episode of Cribs, was not made by Fisher-Price, and was made by now-dead toy company Kenner. I know; it was a real TheMoreYouKnow.GIF moment.

At last night’s People’s Choice Awards (yes, that shit still happens), Shania Twain (yes, that’s Shania Twain) plopped a mound of Poochie’s fur onto her head and got into a custom Rodarte look that paid tribute to her leopard ensemble from the video for That Don’t Impress Me Much. I’m into it, and solely because Shania looks like Jem if Jem became the High Priestess of a cult devoted to worshipping Peg Bundy – Just Jared

Not to be outdone by Shania Twain’s fashion fuckery, Lily Collins showed up to Emily in Paris’ premiere in what looks like the losing look of a Project Runway challenge where designers had to make a Lana Turner-inspired dress out of old tights and pantyhose – Jezebel

Like his sister, Candace Cameron Bure, Kirk Cameron loves God and traditional marriages (translation: he hates gay people). The Christian COVIDiot, who once made headlines for calling homosexuality “unnatural”, has released a new children’s book out called As You Grow. Kirk told Fox News (via Yahoo!) that he’s using his book to fight against the “dangerous” culture American children are being “indoctrinated” into. He claims Bibles are being removed from libraries and schools (as we know, Kirk loves home-schooling), and replaced with “toxic ideas” like “transgenderism, CRT and the 1619 project.” Hoo boy. Now, obviously, many people do not agree with this brand of wackadoo bigotry. This is why Fox News reports (via We Got This Covered) that 50 libraries have turned down Kirk’s request to promote his book by hosting a story hour. Huh. Maybe a Kirk Cameron story hour would do better at a MAGA rally or book-burning?

I hate reporting bad news. I really do. I know sometimes it may seem like I take joy in the suffering of others, but only when they deserve it. I am not a monster. And when the suffering is my own, or that of you, gentle reader, it causes me great pain and emotional distress. Earlier this year, and the three years preceding, I reported on the development of Top Gun 2: Maverick, a movie I was sure would be a flop. Reader— it was no flop. Top Gun 2: OT8 And Lovin’ It went on to become the 5th highest-grossing movie of all time, netting its star, Tom Cruise, more than $100 million earth credits to spend at any Scientology center of his choosing. And so I come now to you, humbled and dispirited, to report that James Cameron’s entry into the pantheon of Sequels to Movies Old Enough to Vote (in middle school elections in this case), Avatar: The Way of Water, is being heralded as “moviemaking & storytelling at its absolute finest,” and Guillermo del Toro has called James a “master at the peak of his power.”

Anyone who’d been under the impression that Kathy Hilton’s awkward, dim, and out-of-touch rich lady antics were reserved for her quirky and dysfunctional The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills persona would be incorrect; because Kathy also just brought her awkward, dim, and out-of-touch rich lady antics to the 2022 People’s Choice Awards stage. Last night, Kathy and a few of her RHOBH castmates took the stage as presenters, but when it was time to take a few steps back for Mariska Hargitay to give her acceptance speech for “drama TV star of 2022,” Kathy either forgot where she was or gave no fucks about decorum as she applied lipstick while on stage–also while on camera.
