Dionne Warwick and Jamie Lee Curtis join Gyllenhaal fight

The 'Olds' have entered the chatroom.  The most ridiculous hot topic right now is the one over Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal's 3 month relationship that ended 9 years ago. Taylor wisely rerecorded her famous album Red in a bid to get back some of the royalties that Scooter Braun yanked from under her.  And in doing so she's reignited the wrath for the men she sings about. Most notably, Jake Gyllenhaal. So here come some older and wisers to give their two cents. Dionne Warwick, ...

Namely her family. The Post is reporting that even after Lynne Spears flew from Louisiana to Los Angeles to offer apologies to Britney, she was refused entry to her home. Good for you, B! Britney blames her mother for letting the conservatorship go on this...

Sesame Street gets first Asian-American puppet

This seems astonishing to me.  Sesame Street, the iconic kids show on PBS on the US (and now on HBO), started in 1969.  And it's taken 53 years for the show to add an Asian puppet.   Shocking to me, but good on ya for doing it. A new Muppet named Ji-Young will make history on the Thanksgiving day episode.

Like many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, her identity will straddle two cultures, says Alan Muraoka, who plays the owner of Hooper’s Store on the show and is also Asian American.

“She’s a musician, she plays electric guitar, she’s a girl of the very modern American fabric,” he told NBC Asian America. “She recognizes the culture through her relatives — her grandmother, through her mother — and through the food she eats and loves.”

Downton Abbey 2 Trailer is here!

    If you're like most people, you devoured every episode of Downton Abbey as soon as it aired.  For those of us in the states, that was well after the Brits saw it.   But somehow spoilers were avoided and we all enjoyed watching the Crawley's squabble in gorgeous gowns. Now the follow up to the first feature film is available and we get some insight into what's happening in Downton Abbey: A New Era. The preview shows the famous family and their army of servants traveling to F...

Is Shia LaBeouf engaged to gf Mia Goth?

Shia LaBeouf was seen out with his girlfriend/exwife Mia Goth this weekend and TMZ said she looked pretty pregnant. Not that word of pregnancy has been uttered from the pair. They were at, of all places, Chuck E Cheese, and were seen playing arcade games together. But she appears to be wearing a ring that has some thinking they may be getting ready to marry. Again. The two were married in 2016 before divorcing just two years later.  But that didn't stop them from getting together a number of times and if TMZ is correct, Mia is about 4 months along now. You be the judge. Here are the pictures. Shia LaBeouf was seen out with his girlfriend/exwife Mia Goth this weekend and TMZ said she looked pretty pregnant.

R Kelly’s cellmate makes comics about the pair

Coming up with ways to pass time in the clink can bring the creative to life in some people.  Such is the case with 37-year-old Brendan Hunt.  R Kelly's dubious cellmate. Brendan was jailed last year for threatening to kill government officials after the January 6th insurrection and he's spent the last few months sharing a cell with the disgraced R&B singer. Now he's written a comic book where he expounds on the duo's daily routines and antics. Those antics being yoga, working ...

Christopher Walken destroys Banksy work for “Outlaws” finale

With works from artist Banksy selling for millions of dollars, you would think more care would be given to them by producers and directors.  Unless, of course, Banksy's in on it. "The Outlaws" stars legendary actor Christopher Walken and airs on BBC and Amazon stream. The show follows a group of criminals who were sentenced to clean up a community center as part of their community service. In the finale, SPOILER ALERT, which aired this week, Christopher Walkens character Frank paint...

Paris Hilton wedding arrival photos are in

Props to x17 paparazzi for just planting themselves outside of Paris Hilton and Carter Reums wedding at the massive home of her grandfathers in Hombly Hills. Of course Paris documented everything for a show she has Peacock that dropped episode one last night. But we still wanted to see who arrived and what they wore.  Am I the only one? Lets get into it. Mama Kathy Hilton arrives in a tasteful summer dress that better not be her final look. This is NOT mother of the bride vibe.

‘Cast Away’ Volleyball Sells at auction

If you've never seen the movie 'Cast Away' with Tom Hanks I highly recommend it.  Tom Hanks plays a man who is the sole survivor of a terrible plan crash and washes up on the shores of a deserted island where he lives for 4 years alone. To cope with the loneliness, Hanks begins to talk to a volleyball that's washed ashore, which he names Wilson due to the brand printed on the ball. People were pretty thrown by this when the film came out. Some said they couldn't imagine ever talking to a volleyball, but as someone who regularly has conversations with their cat, I can totally see a descent into madness that has me talking to all kinds of inanimate objects. Ok, so back to the auction. Originally, Wilson was estimated to only sell for a maximum of $80,000 USD. However, it exceeded auction expectations and sold for over $311,000 USD!  It is indeed a great movie prop.

Andy Dick arrested AGAIN on DV charge

Actor Andy Dick has been plagued with legal troubles for years.  He's battled a serious drug and alcohol problem for as long as I can remember and that often escalates to fights with strangers and loved ones.

The irony of a liquor bottle as a weapon aside, these are serious charges and the second DV charge for Andy in two months and third this ye...

Paul Rudd is People’s 2021?s Sexiest Man Alive

Rarely has People magazine made a decision on Sexiest Man that I've agreed with.   Brad Pitt, Idris Elba... Brad a second time. But here's a man I can stand behind.  The dreamy, never aging, loved by all Paul Rudd. And at 52 Rudd says he's most happy at home with his wife of 18 years, Julie, 53, and their kids Jack, 17, and Darby, 12. He seems happy to have the honor bestowed on him, but he's still his usual humble self. "I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I'd be picked for this, they would say, 'What?' " the actor tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "This is not false humility. There are so many people that should get this before me." Rarely has People magazine made a decision on Sexiest Man that I've agreed with.   Brad Pitt, Idris Elba... Brad a second time.
