But where most networks are dusting off their old properties for decades-late revivals, Friends: The Reunion is content to simply be a look back at the show that took the world by storm for a solid decade, and launched its cast into movie stardom. The One With the Origin Story: Let’s get this out of the...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-26T19:10:58+00:00“>May 26, 2021 | 3:10pm ET Sure, everyone remembers Brad Pitt as Friends’ most unforgettable Thanksgiving guest, but the iconic sitcom also saw a parade of other famous faces guest star throughout the years.

‘I’m Here For You’: The Hills‘ Justin Bobby Has Forged A Friendship With Kaitlynn
Justin Bobby is a big proponent of truth and time tells all, but he has refrained from sharing his personal truth (aka his past and future dreams) with his Hills cohorts. Now, during tonight’s New Beginnings episode, the “motherf*cking Pisces” found an ally in Kaitlynn — and Justin opened up to her about his desire to be a family man. The bond between the two began on a group trip to San Diego — Brody brought a friend named Amber, but he did not tell his ex-wife prior to the getaway. Justin pulled Kaitlynn aside during dinner to make sure she was feeling okay with the circumstances. “I wasn’t really expecting this to be a couple’s trip,” she confided. “I don’t know what their deal is, but I feel like he can’t just be b...
Jeff Bezos Now Owns the Fabled Racist Trump Apprentice Tapes
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-26T16:50:43+00:00“>May 26, 2021 | 12:50pm ET Jeff Bezos finds himself in possession of possible blackmail material on disgraced former US President Donald Trump, should he choose to use it. On Tuesday, Amazon acquired the rights to The Apprentice and the fabled racist Trump tapes that come with it in a massive $8.45 billion deal with MGM. Back in October 2016, Emmy-winning producer Chris Nee alleged Apprentice producers were sitting on footage that includes film of Trump using the n-word. The claim came after a video surfaced of Trump making a series of lewd comments about women during a 2005 conversation with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush. Nee made the comments in response to...
Should Briana Continue To Film With Her ‘New Guy’ Javi On Teen Mom 2?
Briana has a “new guy” in her life named Javi — and during tonight’s Teen Mom 2 episode, the mother of two filmed with the tattoo artist for the first time. Some context about the duo: The two have been “hanging out” for a few months, he is a single father (the pair’s kids have met) and Roxanne has yet to be introduced to him. While Briana admitted it was a “struggle” to show this side of herself to the TM2 audience, Javi seemed at ease as cameras rolled while he worked on some ink on Bri (Bri’s friend Shae was also present). “I wanted to get a tattoo done, and I came across his page. Then we met up to talk about it, and then he did my tattoo and we started hanging out and sh*t,” Bri recounted to Shae about their histo...

While the exact cause has not been disclosed, his sickness was “unexpected” and “brief,” according to the obituary at the Kreitzer Funeral Home.

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-25T01:58:12+00:00“>May 24, 2021 | 9:58pm ET If you haven’t yet solved the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer, your investigation may have to move to another platform. As Entertainment Weekly notes, the first two seasons of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s iconic television series Twin Peaks will be leaving Netflix at the end of June. Twin Peaks debuted on ABC in 1990, and instantly established itself as damn good content… and hot! But ratings began to dwindle by the time Season 2 rolled around, and although it was unceremoniously cancelled, it quickly achieved a reputation as one of the finest television series ever made. In 1992, it was followed by the prequ...

SNL’s Season 46 Finale Certainly Felt Like the End of an Era
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-23T15:18:42+00:00“>May 23, 2021 | 11:18am ET Editor’s Note: All season long, Jesse Hassenger has been reviewing SNL for Consequence. He returns today with some thoughts on the show’s finale. You can revisit his other pieces here. It was a weird season of Saturday Night Live, and the show acknowledged that right upfront during its Season 46 finale. As part of the show’s ongoing vamping over what to do for cold opens now that they aren’t tackling President Trump on a weekly basis, the final opening sketch of the season went both self-referential and sentimental. For the former, the cast reflected on the past year-plus of pandemic comedy, making semi-pointed jokes about the reckless...

As Collider reports, Waits will be joining the new stop-motion series from Steve Conrad, creator of Patriot and Perpetual Grace, LTD. The 71-year-old Waits has all but retired from music, with his his last live concert taking place in 2016 and his last album Bad as Me turning ten this year.
