Teen Mom 2‘s Ashley And Bar Reveal ‘Blatant Disrespect And Racism’ On Social Media
Ashley and Bar have expressed that “racism has always been a thing” they’ve endured, but the social media attacks “picked up” when they spoke out about the Black Lives Matter movement. And during tonight’s Teen Mom 2 episode, Holly’s parents were brutally honest about the recent onslaught of hateful speech directed at them. “People know we’re Black, but when we put it in their face, they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s too Black. That’s too much Black,'” Ashley stated. And even though the two get “hateful DMs” as it is, the language has shifted more toward “blatant disrespect and racism.” “We’re a young Black family that is on TV, that is trying to do something with our lives,”...
‘I Feel So Alone’: Siesta Key‘s Madisson Opens Up About Mental Health Issues
It doesn’t matter how someone’s life seems, because you never know what’s going on just beneath the surface. And on this week’s Siesta Key, Madisson opened up about her mental health — specifically, how she copes with anxiety and depression. During a “bittersweet” engagement photo shoot with her fiancé Ish, Madisson admitted to Kelsey that “it sucks” being in a somewhat long-distance relationship — primarily due to the former SK producer‘s frequent business trips. “I had hoped he would be able to stay for the whole month, but he can’t,” she said. “Having Ish here just helps keep me grounded, and it’s a little nerve-racking when he leaves.” That’s when the bride-to-be broke i...
Kyle MacLachlan Cast in Joe Exotic Series as Carole Baskin’s Husband
Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan has been tapped for Peacock’s Joe Exotic TV series. He will play Howard Baskin, the third husband of big cat rescue sanctuary owner Carole Baskin (Kate McKinnon), in the based-on-a-true-story show. While Howard’s story is not as sensational as that of Baskin’s second husband Don Lewis (who mysteriously disappeared in 1997), MacLachlan’s experience with the bizarre storytelling of Twin Peaks will certainly come in handy. Based on the podcast, Joe Exotic: Tiger King, the limited series will center around Carole Baskin, who learns that fellow exotic animal lover Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel (John Cameron Mitchell) is breeding and using his big cats for profit. She sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating and dangerous rivalry. Related ...
Rick Rubin Picks the Brain of a Beatle in Hypnotic McCartney 3,2,1 Docuseries: Review
The Pitch: Ask any self-respecting millennial music dork which two people he’d like to have dinner with, living or dead, and chances are Rick Rubin and Paul McCartney are somewhere at the top of that list. Luckily, with Hulu’s new six-part docuseries McCartney 3,2,1, we get the closest possible thing, with Rubin and McCartney spending a long afternoon in a recording studio, the former grilling the latter about his history with the Beatles, his collaborations with John Lennon and George Martin, and taking apart some of his most famous tracks to see what they’re made of. The Notes That Like Each Other: One of the unexpected joys of Zachary Heinzerling’s docuseries is just how relaxed it is. There’s no pressure to use McCartney and Rubin’s time together as a comprehensive ...
Schmigadoon! Is Charming Catnip for Musical Theater Kids: Review
The Pitch: Josh (Keegan-Michael Key) and Melissa (Cecily Strong) have hit a roadblock in their relationship: he’s too aloof, she’s too controlling, and the pair are steamrolling towards an abrupt end. But on a last-ditch backpacking trip to rediscover their bliss, they stumble upon something stranger: A mysterious, brightly-lit town called Schmigadoon, where everything looks like a colorblind-cast version of a ’40s villa and the townspeople burst into song at the drop of a straw hat. Soon, they discover that they’re trapped in the cloyingly musical town until they can find “true love” — love that it seems they don’t have anymore (if they ever did). Will the two patch up and get out? Or will they have to find a way to adjust to this new, toe-tapping normal? Corn Puddin’, Corn Puddin’, ...

HBO Passes on Lovecraft Country Season 2
Lovecraft Country, the inventive HBO series from showrunner Misha Green, will not be returning for Season 2. Starring Jonathan Majors and Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and based on the book by Matt Ruff, Lovecraft Country salvaged some of the more durable themes of the infamous H.P. Lovecraft while flipping his persistent racism on its head. It combined elements of science fiction, horror, and social satire with a stunning period drama, and captivated audiences on route to becoming one of the best TV shows of 2020. Now it is no more. “We will not be moving forward with a second season of Lovecraft Country,” HBO said to Deadline. “We are grateful for the dedication and artistry of the gifted cast and crew, and to Misha Green, who crafted this groundbreaking series. And to the fans, t...
Netflix Drops Trailer for Masters of the Universe: Revelation: Watch
“I have the power!” Netflix has unveiled the first full-length trailer for its upcoming animated series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The clip reintroduces fans to the world of Eternia, which is slowly losing its magic long after the events of the 1980s series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. “I built a life of truth, away from magic. Now you want me to save magic?” Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Teela, captain of Eternia’s royal guard, demands as she angrily tosses her tiara-like helmet to the ground. The answer to Teela’s query appears to be ‘yes,’ as she joins forces once again with Prince Adam (voiced by The Vampire Diaries’ Chris Wood) to protect their planet from Mark Hamill’s villainous Skeletor. “Whatever became of Eternia, we’ll face it. Together. No one else dies,” the pri...
Top 10 Episodes Featured on the Seinfeld Soundtrack
You may not be able to stream any Seinfeld episodes right now, but you can at least revisit the sitcom classic’s music. Twenty-three years after the series’ finale, the official soundtrack has finally been released. The signature compositional style the legendary Jonathan Wolff brought to the show may be best captured in the iconic slapping bass of the theme song, but his music also added levity to some of the show’s must memorable moments. Of course, not all of them could be represented on the OST — Seinfeld ran for a stunning 180 episodes over nine seasons, after all. So Wolff dug through his contributions to pick out moments where the music was able to “contribute in a significant way to the comedy of the scene.” As he explained in a press statement, he wanted the selecti...
‘She Said Yes!’: How Jenni Broke Her Engagement News To The Jersey Shore Roomies
Thanks to Jenni and Zack, the Poconos family vacation just began with a mini-celebration. “Sorry we were late — we were f*cking around and got engaged,” the Jersey Shore mother of two declared as they sat down for dinner with DJ Pauly D, Nikki, Mike, Lauren, Vinny and Ronnie. Jaws dropped and loud cheers followed, which was a very clear departure from the “savage” intro the pro wrestler faced several years back with this crew. “She said yes!” Pauly declared while he offered a sweet “welcome to the family” to Zack. Jenni soon clarified that her fiancé didn’t actually pop the question en route to the Pennsylvania resort (they were a bit tardy because of her kiddos) and he’d asked for her hand in marriage on her birthday at the...

Nick Offerman has joined the cast of Amazon’s A League of Their Own reboot series. The Parks and Recreation alumnus will play Casey “Dove” Porter, a washed-up MLB pitcher brought in to coach the Rockford Peaches of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

Former Disney Star Kyle Massey Charged with Felony for Sending Porn to 13-Year-Old Girl
Former Disney star Kyle Massey, best known for his work as Cory Baxter in That’s So Raven and Corey in the House, has been charged with a felony for communication with a minor for immoral purposes. The news was first reported by TMZ and has since been confirmed by Variety. Massey, 29, first became embroiled in controversy in 2019, when the alleged victim sued him for $1.5 million. The lawsuit claimed that starting in December 2018, Massey sent “numerous sexually explicit text messages, images, and videos,” through Snapchat. Massey said he was being extorted. Reportedly, the girl’s mother has provided police with a thumb drive containing the explicit material. This includes pornographic videos as well as footage of a man who seems to be Massey exposing his peni...
