ABC’s Little Mermaid set is stunning!

ABC has been in the live theater business for several years now and they garner some good feedback from the genre. But this stage takes the cake. During a press tour Monday Direct Hamish Hamilton explained how Little Mermaid Live! would differ from previous musicals done live on tv. Hamilton told a panel that the set (a rendering of which is above) will be immersive and switch between the animated film and the live set seamlessly.  Story will be told in the animated part and when a mus...

Modern Family spin off? An attempt seems likely

Modern Family is entering it's freaking 11th season!  The confessional style comedy has been struggling with over the top plot lately and most of the actors are lining up future gigs as the final season enters production.  Still, network honchos aren't ready to stop beating that dead horse. It's time for a spin off. Word is Hayley Dunphy, played by Sarah Hyland, and her newborn baby with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Dylan, played by Reid Ewing, is just enough of a stand alone story l...

Aaron Carter denies selling rescue dogs for fat cash

Aaron Carter is such trash. Honestly.  But this is beyond.  So Aaron "rescued" this bulldog from the Lancaster Animal Care Center in Los Angeles and the center was thrilled he did so, sharing a pic of him with his new pooch on their instagram page.  But now the post has been updated to say they're looking into claims Carter is selling the dog to make a profit.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson apologizes for way insensative tweet

I am a huge fan of Neil DeGrasse Tyson going way back.  And I appreciate his "tell it like it is" approach to science.  But I was totally thrown by his tweet on Sunday where he appeared to compare mass shooting deaths to any other number of ways someone could die.  As though we shouldn't put any importance on it.  Here, look.   Now he's apologizing, but the damage has been done. “My intent was to offer objectively true information that might help shape conversations and reactions to preventable ways we die,” Tyson wrote in his apology Monday morning on Facebook. “Where I miscalculated was that I genuinely believed the Tweet would be helpful to anyone trying to save lives in America. What I learned from the range of reactions is that for many people, some information — my Tweet in particular — can be true but unhelpful, especially at a time when many people are either still in shock, or trying to heal — or both.” “So if you are one of those people, I apologize for not knowing in advance what effect my Tweet could have on you.”     />I am a huge fan of Neil DeGrasse Tyson going way back.  And I appreciate his "tell it like it is" approach to science.  But I was totally thrown by his tweet on Sunday where he appeared to compare mass shooting deaths to any other number of ways someone could die.  As though we shouldn't put any importance on it.  Here, look.   In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

Is Lindsay Lohan dated the crown prince of Saudi Arabia?

There's buzz all over town that Lindsay Lohan has found that cash cow she's been looking for all her life. And he's a tyrannical mad man. lol If the stories are true, Lindsay is dating Mohammad bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, better known to many as the man who had journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered for looking into Saudi practices.  But it seems Mo treats Lindsay a little better, gifting her with credit cards and trips on his jet. While her reps admit the two "know ea...

Elizabeth Taylor’s Rolls Royce expecting $2m at auction

Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky was never frugal about the things she surrounded herself with.  Diamonds so stunning that many are now in museums.  And now a piece of her vast collection of luxuries is coming to the public for purchase.  Should be very wealthy.

Saoirse Kennedy found dead of overdose at Kennedy Compound

The Kennedy family is no stranger to tragedy, as we all know.   Everything from Plane crashes to assassinations, the Kennedy death curse is legendary.  Now it's claimed another. Saoirse Kennedy, granddaughter of Robert "Bobby" Kennedy, was found dead Thursday afternoon of an apparent overdose.  The death comes just two weeks after the 50th anniversary of the Chappaquiddick "incident" in which Teddy drunkenly crashed his car into a lake and left the scene, leaving behind Mary Jo Kopec...

Wendy Williams show ending? Staffers are looking for jobs on the sly

It's been a roller coaster of a year for Wendy Williams.  And now her staff is looking for work on the quiet, which has many thinking they know something we don't. P6 says the staff partied at the 40/40 Club on Wednesday to mark the end of Season 10 — but did so with skepticism about the show’s future, as we’re told it might end after Season 11. “Staff are all celebrating what was one of the most difficult seasons over the 10 years of the show,” an insider exclusively told us, “be...

Choose Harry & Meghans IG friends!

When your young, gorgeous and royal, you get a lot of followers on instagram. It comes with the territory.  And who you choose to follow is always up for scrutiny.  So people got a little excited when Prince Harry and his wife Meghan wiped out all their IG followers to a noticeable zero. But they have a plan. Known for highlighting charities through their social media, the parents of Archie Harrison have asked for fans to nominate which 15 accounts should be crowned with their ...

Lena Dunham is awkwarding all over

Lena Dunham was always a little much for me to take.  Highly opinionated with a crankiness better suited on a much older person.  But the masses loved her.  Then she defended an accused rapist (Murray Miller) and everyone took a step back.  Now she's trying to stage a comeback of sorts and while the results aren't in, they're not good. Message boards are lighting up about her arrogant "rise like a phoenix" IG post, and questioning if there's been "work done".

A post shared by Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) on

And Page six reported an awkward incident on the red carpet of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" saying "When the cast lined up on the red carpet, Dunham was separated from Pitt by Tarantino and stars Leo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, but she made her way to Pitt and went in for a kiss on the lips. She caught about half his mouth."  Meh, I've done worse.

Jussie Smollett sells his Studio City home

  I wont go so far as to refer to him as "ex-actor" Jussie Smollett, but I wouldn't be far off if I did. Disgraced tv star, Jussie, might be making a move toward leaving Hollywood.  He just unloaded his lovely Studio City home at a loss, despite barely being on the market a month. The views and architecture are dramatic, but the listing highlights the little luxuries: From digital camera surveillance, two car garage, custom Dolby 5.1 surround sound, Pro Cooks Kitchen, Exotic Wood Decking, to Nest operated Heating and Cooling systems.   I wont go so far as to refer to him as "ex-actor" Jussie Smollett, but I wouldn't be far off if I did.
