Two Puppets Feud as Ted Cruz Attacks Big Bird Over COVID-19 Vaccine
Big Bird, a bird-like puppet, got his COVID-19 vaccine over the weekend, leading Senator Ted Cruz, a human-like puppet, to attack the Sesame Street institution as, “Government propaganda… for your five year old!” “I got the COVID-19 vaccine today!” Big Bird tweeted on Saturday, November 6th. “My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.” The decision to inoculate the eight-foot anthropomorphic canary is unlikely to be controversial with the vast majority of the population, considering that 67% of Americans of all ages, and 78% of those 12 and up, have received at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccines. Besides that, health experts agree that the vaccines are safe for children (Big Bird is canonically...

Leonardo DiCaprio to Star in Jim Jones Movie
Leonardo DiCaprio is in final negotiations to star in and produce MGM’s upcoming feature on Jonestown cult leader Jim Jones. The appropriately titled Jim Jones biopic is penned by Scott Rosenberg (Venom) and will be produced by DiCaprio alongside Jennifer Davisson for their Appian Way production company. Rosenberg will also serve as executive producer (via Deadline). Jones was the founder of the People’s Temple. What initially began in 1955 as a religious organization built on principals of Christianity and socialism eventually devolved into a fanatical religious cult. After becoming disillusioned with Christianity and the US government, in 1974 Jones migrated the group to Guanya, where they constructed a jungle commune known as Jonestown. Jones, who by then had publicly declared hims...
Alanis Morissette Developing ABC Sitcom Inspired by Her Life
The Alanis Morissette renaissance is making its way to the small screen. ABC is developing a sitcom titled Relatable, which is loosely based on the family life of the ’90s rock legend. The single-camera comedy follows a 40-something woman, married with three kids, who spent her young adult life as an international rock star, famous for her self-penned anthems of female rage and teen angst. Now the “voice of her generation,” though deeply bonded with her family, can’t quite get the next generation living in her house to listen to her. Morrissette will pen original music for the show and serve as an executive producer, with her life “loosely” informing the writing and stories — though the characters will be fictional and non-biographical. Elizabeth Beckwith (ABC’s The Goldbergs) and showrunn...
