US Marshals Catch Nine Sex Offenders in Operation Dunder Mifflin
The US Marshals Service carried out a sting operation in Scranton, Pennsylvania earlier this summer with a name tied to The Office. According to a press release dated October 4th, Operation Dunder Mifflin — presumably named after the beloved sitcom’s fictional paper company — was a multi-agency “effort to verify the registered addresses of convicted sex offenders” with help from both the Scranton Police Department and Pennsylvania State Police Megan’s Law Section. The operation was reportedly carried out from August 2nd to September 17th, and resulted in the arrest of nine individuals in violation of registered sex offender laws, and four others still being pursued by the Marshals Service.

Review: Kim Kardashian-West’s SNL Episode Wasn’t the Worst Thing We’ve Ever Seen
The second episode of Saturday Night Live’s 47th season featured arguably their most famous host of the initial four episodes: Kim Kardashian-West, who really feels like she should have been a novelty host circa 2009, rather than a first-timer in 2021. Hopefully she’s just this season’s token billionaire—and hopefully that slot is retired from the host lineup hereafter. Wearing a lot of gloves for October, Kardashian-West didn’t project the same disdain for the world as fellow socialite Paris Hilton did in her infamous hosting gig, or the same discomfiting cutesiness as Elon Musk. At the same time, her version of being a good sport mostly involved getting off some shots at her family (and ex-husband Kanye West), and jokingly promoting her SKIMS shapewear line (the commercial for shapewear ...
Red and Kitty Forman Will Anchor That ’70s Show Sequel That ’90s Show
Red and Kitty Forman are set to welcome a new dumbass into the family. Via The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has ordered a spinoff of That ’70s Show called That ’90s Show, and veteran actors Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp will be returning to reprise their roles. That ’70s Show ran for eight seasons starting in 1998, making household names out of young stars like Topher Grace (Eric), Mila Kunis (Jackie), and Ashton Kutcher (Kelso), as well as Laura Prepon (Donna), Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), and the now-disgraced Danny Masterson (Hyde). Their characters’ stoned antics gave the show its forward thrust, but the stakes often came from the fear that Red and Kitty would find out. Now, a new generation will be threatened with Red’s foot up their asses. While the young peopl...

The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on Wednesday, November 24.

Trailer for HBO Max’s What Happened, Brittany Murphy? Sits in Simon Monjack’s Shadow: Watch
In 2009, shortly after an ambulance arrived at her Los Angeles home, Brittany Murphy died of what the coroner said was pneumonia. Pneumonia is a serious illness, but it isn’t usually fatal for 32-year-olds, and can often be easily treated at the hospital, so questions have swirled ever since. The upcoming HBO Max documentary What Happened, Brittany Murphy? seeks to figure out just that: What happened? And in the first trailer, the strange behavior of her husband Simon Monjack casts a long shadow. “Simon took her away,” one interviewee notes in the preview. “He made sure no one could get to her.” We see footage of her life from as early as middle school, and track her progress from someone who was already skinny to a big star who had “lost an inordinate amount of weight.” The...
Bobby Flay Leaving Food Network After 27 Years
Longtime Food Network personality Bobby Flay is reportedly leaving the channel after 27 years. Variety reports that talks between Flay and Food Network on a new contract are at an impasse. Flay’s current deal expires at the end of the year, and Food Network has reportedly chose to end further negotiations. Flay has been with Food Network since its launch in 1994, appearing on tentpole series including Chopped, Next Food Network Star, and Iron Chef America. While Flay may be exiting, Food Network was able to retain another one of its stars: Guy Fieri recently signed a new three year deal said to be worth up to $80 million.

DJ Pauly D Thinks Angelina’s Double Shot Arrival Is A ‘Horrible, Horrible’ Idea
If anyone knows what makes Vinny tick — the good, the bad, and the sexual tension — it’s Angelina. Forever the unexpected guest on just about every vacation, tonight’s Double Shot at Love concluded with a chicken cutlet fake butt cheek on the dinner table and a surprise phone call from Angelina. Here’s how it went down: After a freshly eliminated JJ handed her ass to Vinny, along with the tidbit that the remaining women are those “who have talked sh*t and are being fake,” DJ Pauly D got a random call from his Jersey Shore roommate. “Angelina. What the hell does she want? It’s never a good thing when Angelina calls,” the DJ said. “Um, hello! I just read the f*cking news, and you guys didn’t invite me?...

We’ve Ranked the Best Outfits From RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, From Choriza May to Vanity Milan
Since the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK burst onto our screens this month, it’s once again become one of the main highlights of our week. Whether it’s the important discussions that take place in the dressing room, the catty remarks following RuPaul’s critiques, or the dazzling celebrity judges (we see you, Nicola Coughlan), each week on Drag Race UK so far has proven itself to be something truly special. What’s undoubtedly most impressive, however, is of course the outfits. Each episode sees the queens completing a number of challenges that all involve serving some serious “lewks”, and after fashion queen Bimini Bon-Boulash graced us with their presence last season, the pressure has been on for the contestants to prove their worth on the r...
John Cena’s Peacemaker Introduces Eagley in First Look at the Suicide Squad Spin-Off: Watch
John Cena’s Peacemaker may not care how many men, women, and children he needs to kill to get peace, but he won’t hurt a feather on an eagle. Certainly not his pet bird, Eagely, who’s introduced in the teaser clip from HBO Max’s The Suicide Squad spin-off series. In the first-look footage released today by WarnerMedia, Cena’s heroic supervillain meets up with his new team of handlers at an Italian restaurant. Steve Agee’s John Economos mocks him for showing up in full Peacemaker cosplay, noting that “a bright red shirt and white pants aren’t exactly conducive to lurking in the shadows.” When Peacemaker introduces his pet eagle as Eagely, Jennifer Holland’s Emilia Harcourt asks if his pet dog is named “Doggy.” Maybe instead of Peacemaker, this show should be called Sh*ttaker, as t...
Seinfeld’s Aspect Ratio Not Fixed on Netflix, Still Crops Out Jokes
When Seinfeld launched on Netflix on October 1st, there was hope that the streamer’s upgrade to 4K resolution was used as an opportunity to restore the show to its original 4:3 aspect ratio. This would have meant avoiding similar cropping issues experienced by The Simpsons when it first arrived on Disney+ in late 2019, but alas that is not the case. Instead, Netflix stuck with the 16:9 ratio dating back to the original HD remaster made for the TBS syndicated reruns of Seinfeld, which was produced from newly made scans of the original film. As The Verge explains, this made it possible to add back wider frames not seen in the initial broadcast to make the show look better on modern TVs. An unfortunate byproduct of the move to 16:9 is the blocking of scenes. In order to include more foot...
Kacey Musgraves Becomes First Artist to Perform Naked on SNL
This past weekend, Kacey Musgraves served as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live’s Season 47 premiere. For her first performance of the evening, she played “justified” armed with an acoustic guitar and nothing else. It turns out she wasn’t just faking being nude, as many actors do to abide by FCC regulations, but rather she was completely naked and strategically positioned her body to get away with it — making her the first artist to ever do so on SNL. First of all, it’s important to clarify that Musgraves wasn’t ditching her outfit for no reason to promote Star-Crossed. While she was fully clothed for her rendition of “camera roll” on SNL, she opted to strip down for “justified” as a reference to the infamous Forrest Gump scene in which Jenny (played by Robin Wright) takes the stage...
