James Corden apologizes to Ricky Gervais for stealing joke

It's been a rough few months for late night host James Corden. He's stepped down from his show to return to England and then got banned from Balthazar for being rude to the help and now joke stealing?

James issued an apology to his fellow Brit, Ricky Gervais, for "stealing" a 2018 joke of Ricky's "word for word" to use in his late show.

The joke, attached below, shows the comparisons of a joke Ricky made about Twitter users over reacting to nonsense. The two are the same.

Gervais retweeted a clip of Corden repeating his joke on The Late Late Show last night, and said in a since deleted tweet: 'The bit about the town square advert for guitar lessons is brilliant.'

He later said he deleted the original tweet because he 'felt sorry for Corden'.  

James later took to Twitter to sheepishly apologize for the theft.

"Inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show last night, obviously not knowing it came from him. It's brilliant, because it's a Ricky Gervais joke. You can watch all Ricky's excellent specials on Netflix," Corden wrote.

‘Stargirl’ Ending at Season 3

Stargirl gave me a lot of hope for the future of female superheroes. The show was popular right out of the gate and seemed to hold their audiance going into season 2.

But viewership dropped sharply this year and couple that with the CW being sold to Nextstar and the show seemed doomed.

CW has dramatically reduced its volume of U.S. scripted originals.

Stargirl has always held a special place in my heart for many reasons,” Explained show created Geoff Johns in a statement Monday. “With all the brewing changes at the network, we were aware this was possibly the last season, so we wrote with that in mind and have delivered what I believe to be the best season of Stargirl yet, with complete creative closure. The cast and crew are extraordinary, and I’d like to thank them for helping me bring this series to life. Brec embodied Courtney in every way possible — with grace, strength and humor — exceeding my wildest expectations. I am grateful to WBTV and The CW for giving us a home to tell this story and to honor my beloved late sister, and I’m beyond thankful to the press and fans who have always championed us for three amazing seasons. Most series never get this far. We couldn’t be more proud of our show and the fan community it’s built!”

K-Pop Singer Killed in South Korean Halloween Crowd Tragedy

They're still learning details about the horrible stampede and crowd pushed that took the life of 154 people.

However it was released late last night that one of the people killed was K-Pop singer Lee Jihan.

Jihan was crushed in the narrow city streets which also left more than 100 people injured, Billboard reported Sunday, citing the star's agencies, 935 Entertainment and 9Ato Entertainment.

935 Entertainment also addressed Lee's tragic death on Instagram Sunday, alongside an image of a plain black square posted in mourning.

"I am heartbroken to [share] sad news," the translation for the caption said before going on to say that Lee "has become a star in the sky and left us" after his "sudden death."

Amy Schumer hosting SNL next weekend

Amy Schumer is heading back to 30 Rock. The comedian will host Saturday Night Live for the third time on November 5.

This is the first time the funny girl has hosted since 2018.

Amy's show 'Inside Amy Schumer' was recently rebooted by Parimount (it original aired for 4 seasons on Comedy Central) and is seeing great success with skits going viral on social media.

Be forewarned, Amy is very political. And very left. So if you don't enjoy seeing the right wingers getting fried, you may not want to tune in to the show.

She will be joined by musical guest Steve Lacy, who is making his debut after the launch of his latest album Gemini Rights and hit single “Bad Habit.”

Kanye’s Donde Academy closes and reopens within hours

It was only last night, around midnight, that parents of Kanye's Donde Academy students received word the strange school would be shutting down effective immediately.

The school's principal, Jason Angell, sent an email out saying, in part, "at the discretion of our founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately."

But Ye seemed to not completely agree. Taking to IG to write "Here's the clout you're looking for. My school is being shut down." 

But just a few hours... like seriously around 4am, parents got a follow up email that said "Join us tomorrow morning in worship for the return of Donda Academy. With the help of our parents and community, we are back and returning with a vengeance!"

Ah yes. Vengence. One of the pillars of youth education. The email concluded with "The children of Donda are going to change the world. Apologies for the late email! See you bright and early!"

I'm curious to see how many show up.

Kanye Escorted out of Sketchers

This feels like a new low for Kanyes ego... The rapper turned balls to the wall antisemite was refused entry at Sketchers headquarters this week.

Ye was taken out by two 'executives' according to a statement released by the company Wednesday afternoon. 

Skechers representatives said in a statement: "Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation. Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West."

They went on to say "We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech. The Company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices." OUCH.

Prolific Character Actor, Michael Kopsa, dead at 66

The name may not ring a bell, but there a really good chance you've seen a number of performances by Michael Kopsa.

Best known for his roles in The X-Files and Smallville, he was also Beast on X-Men: Evolution to Captain Windmark on Fringe.

His ex-wife, actress Lucia Frangione, announced the news on Twitter.

"The great Michael Kopsa, my dear friend and the father of my child, Nora, passed away Oct. 23, 2022, of a brain tumour," Frangione wrote. "He was an incredible stage and screen actor, voice actor, carpenter, musician and painter. Most importantly, he was a loving and richly present father."

Matthew Perry takes shot at Keanu Reeves in new book

Perry (right) and River Phoenix in the movie “A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon.”

A new passage from the upcoming memoir by Matthew Perry reveals a sort of bitterness towards fellow actor Keanu Reeves.

In the passage, Perry says: "Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?"

OUCH! Several outlets have reached out for clarity on the comment, but there is no context given.

Keanu has said River Phoenix was 'one of my closest friends of the era' and Perry was friends with River after the two starred in 1988's A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon.

There aren't any obvious connections between River and Perry or Heath and Perry, but the actor must have some reason to make such a harsh statement about Keanu. Especially given Keanu is known for being extremely kind and gracious on set and with all crew. Even buying them all gifts after filming.

And that's not the only reference to Keanu he makes in the book. When writing about learning that Chris Farley had died of a drug overdose in 1997 he writes, “I punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston’s dressing room wall when I found out,” he writes. “Keanu Reeves walks among us.”

This should be interesting.... Developing

‘Back to the Future’ coming to Broadway

It's a good day for Back to the Future fans! Marty McFly and the Doc are coming to Broadway! The show will open at the Winter Garden Theatre on August 3, 2023, with preview performances beginning on June 30.

The musical comes to New York City from across the pond, where it first opened at the Manchester Opera House in 2020. That initial run was cut short by the pandemic, which forced theaters around the world to close their doors. But it opened again last fall at London’s Adelphi Theatre, where it is still running.

The musical follows McFly, a puffer-vest-clad teenager, as he befriends Emmett “Doc” Brown, a mad-scientist type who turned his DeLorean into a time machine. McFly accidentally uses it to travel back in time, where he entangles himself in the lives of his young parents—and thereby threatens his own existence.

Should be exciting!
