Shania Twain Might Star As Mrs. Potts In ABC’s Live-Action “Beauty And The Beast” TV Special

September 23, 2022 / Posted by:

Since Disney has pissed off an army of bottom-feeding racist trolls by casting Halle Bailey as Ariel in the upcoming live-action The Little Mermaid movie, they figured why not further piss off the small-minded cretins by casting a Black lead in their small-screen ABC live-action/animated hybrid Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration special? Oscar-winning musician, H.E.R., snagged the lead role of Belle in the production. But, since she’s a bookworm, the scalawags who are pissed about Ariel may not consider Belle sacred since books are their Kryptonite. While many other celebs have signed on, castle head-bitch-in-charge, Mrs. Potts, was yet-to-be-determined, but Variety reports that iconic country star Shania Twain is in final talks to take on the role of the self-righteous teapot who tells everyone how to live their lives but couldn’t even prevent Chip from getting chipped.

Rachel Zegler Has Accepted The Academy’s Invitation To Present At The Oscars

March 24, 2022 / Posted by:

The most dramatic will they/won’t they of this year’s Oscar season has finally come to an acceptable end, even if one of the parties is likely still more than a little embarrassed at the situation. Rachel Zegler may be playing Snow White in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation, but less than a week ago she was living an unwanted Cinderella fantasy when she revealed she had not been invited to the ball (aka the 2022 Academy Awards). After that news went viral, the Academy Awards reached out and offered her not just an invitation, but the opportunity to present an award. Well, Rachel has decided to take them up on their offer, and she’s confirmed as a presenter this Sunday.

Wendi McLendon-Covey Defends How “The Goldbergs” Handled Jeff Garlin’s Exit

March 17, 2022 / Posted by:

Back in December it was announced that Jeff Garlin got fired from his role as the patriarch on the ABC comedy, The Goldbergs, following an HR investigation. Jeff told Vanity Fair that he hadn’t been canned, and the issues had to do with the fact that he was “silly,” a “hugger,” and the real story was about “political correctness.” But anonymous sources told Deadline that Jeff was fired because he was “extremely verbally and emotionally abusive.” They shared stories about Jeff screaming at a female stand-in, making dirty jokes, giving female crew members inappropriate nicknames, and putting his hands around a female (shocking) camera assistant, and repeating the word “vagina” into her face. Wait, is that what Jeff Garlin thinks is a hug?! Continue reading

Ryan Seacrest Shares “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” Ratings, Possibly In Response To Andy Cohen’s Insults

January 6, 2022 / Posted by:

Even though messy Andy Cohen got messy drunk while hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special with pal Anderson Cooper, he’ll be back next year. But, as previously reported, he regrets one thing: shading Ryan Seacrest and ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Andy told CNN’s viewers, “if you’re watching ABC, you’re watching nothing,” and referred to ABC’s musical guests (Journey, Ashanti, and Ja Rule) as “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers.” Snort. And even though Andy went on his radio show to express his remorse and call Ryan “a great guy”, maaaybe Ryan isn’t totally over it? Cuz yesterday he posted a screenshot of an article to his Instagram Stories about how his New Year’s special was the highest-rated New Year’s special. By far. Seacrest OUT.

Jeff Garlin Has Left “The Goldbergs” After An HR Investigation Into His On-Set Behavior

December 16, 2021 / Posted by:

As a part-time fan of the ABC sitcom The Goldbergs, I can tell all non-Goldbergs viewers that Jeff Garlin plays the patriarch, Murray Goldberg. He’s a little crusty, a bit grumpy, but overall a caring father and loving husband, even when he’s calling people “morons.” Well, Jeff Garlin might not have been acting that much when he stepped on set. The only acting could have been reduced to acting caring and loving, because according to Deadline, Jeff Garlin is out at The Goldbergs after an HR investigation was concluded regarding his behavior. And it sounds like maybe he was guilty of calling people morons after the director yelled cut.

Shonda Rhimes Quit ABC After They Played Dirty With A Disneyland Pass

October 21, 2020 / Posted by:

A little over three years ago, Shonda Rhimes announced she was leaving her longtime home at ABC and going to Netflix, and it made everyone wonder just how much cash Netflix gave her. Because that’s the only thing that could have pulled Shonda away from her lucrative contract with ABC, right? Money? Lots and lots of money? Shonda recently spilled all the beans during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and we were all wrong. Shonda says it was because ABC made her beg for an all-access pass to Disneyland, a pass they then secretly reneged on, which they then had the audacity to accuse her of being greedy. To quote Goofy: gawrsh.
