Hulu Releases New Pitch "Promo"



Hulu has prompted excitement for prematurely canceled baseball drama Pitch by releasing a quarantine promo last night for the series. The promo was retweeted by multiple actors of the show, causing fans to wonder if hulu would be reviving the series. The spot stars a responsibly social distanced Kylie Bunbury and Mark-Paul Gosselaar practicing their throws. The ad ends with Gosselaar's Lawson telling Bunbury's Ginny, “You’re just itching to get back in there aren’t you?” to which Ginny replies, “Aren’t you?”

Alas, the spot was just for Pitch being back to stream on Hulu. Gosselaar currently stars on Mixed-ish, which was just renewed for season two, and Bunbury will next be seen in Peacock's Brave New World.

Dorinda Medley blasts RHONY costar Ramona & says Bethenny’s departure was a “Huge loss”



RHONY Star Dorinda Medley did not hold back in a new interview with Chanel Omari of “Chanel In The City”.

She said, “I would get on the show and I felt like it was used as a story line as opposed to get off the show and not hear from anybody. And Leah and Sonja really did things through out the season off filming to check in with me. I mean it’s a lot when you're going through a break up, your house is being renovated, your dog died, and I really got the feeling like certain people like Ramona piled on. She found any opportunity to pile on. She would say, “I am in pain, I am in pain.” Well of course I am. How about, “How are you doing?” “You’re drinking so much ....... You’re an alcoholic.” I barely drank this season. When someone is going through a hard time a person is a girls girl. You don’t hit them while you’re down.”

What are her thoughts on Bethenny Frankel? “She was an NFL varsity player so I don’t care what the girls say.. it was a HUGE loss. Bethenny is a great reality star. I don’t care what you say. There’s no way around it!”

New Books Hitting Shelves This Week


Mexican Gothic

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.

Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.

Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.

And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

R.I.P. Carl Reiner (1922–2020), American comedy legend



Carl Reiner, whose career in the performing arts spanned eight decades, has passed on. Reiner did a little bit of everything — acting in just about every medium, writing and directing, creating one of the most iconic TV programs of the 1960s in The Dick Van Dyke Show, and establishing a family dynasty in show business that most notably included his actor/director son Rob Reiner. He and Mel Brooks were a longtime comedy duo. He had his final screen credit in Toy Story 4 last summer.

Predeceased by his wife Estelle (of “I’ll have what she’s having.” fame), he is survived by three children and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Queerantine's been tough, y'all. Thankfully, Jessie Ware's heard our pleas and has given us the perfect album to—if only momentarily—assuage our anxieties during these difficult times. So, give yourself a break at the LGBTQ+ community, let your Venus out and dance away 🌈.

As I mentioned in my last post, Venus is the goddess of beauty, love, seduction, and fertility, and thus our Venus sign can tell us a lot about our love style, and our creative expression. Feel free to use that post for brief descriptions of the signs in Venus, too. You can find your Venus sign here, and if you think your Venus sign in your tropical chart doesn't fit you, check your sidereal chart here, it might be a revelation.

RHOA “friend” Marlo Hampton reveals why she has NOT been made a permanent cast member!



RHOA’s Marlo Hampton was not holding back when she discussed why she has not been made a cast member during an interview with “Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef”.

She said, “I’ve sat back and I’ve said, ‘Look how they treat me?’ Everyone they invest in is gone. Everyone they believe in is gone. I’m right here still. The story is still the same.” So why no peach? “Well, you heard it from my boss, you heard it from Andy Cohen,” she says. “He said the consensus, we’re not all in agreement. I want to find out who’s not [in agreement with having her as part of the main cast]. Someone definitely don’t want me to have [a peach]. And I’m OK because I’ve told everyone. I love Bravo, whoever’s working for Bravo that doesn’t love me, I love you. I’ve been loyal to my home. To me, Bravo is family. They take good care of me, I’ve seen a lot of the world. I eat good, I’m able to sit here and talk to you and not worry about where my next meal is coming from.”

Johnny Depp hid text messages asking assistants to buy him drugs from judge



Johnny Depp's lawsuit with The Sun has taken a sharp turn after the actor violated a UK court order by failing to disclose text messages that showed him ordering his assistants to buy him drugs.

The London court states, "[Depp's] legal team was ordered to hand over all the documents submitted in his US libel case against ex-wife Amber Heard as part of a separate UK lawsuit, against The Sun newspaper."

But Depp instead refused to disclose a series of texts with an assistant, in which he requests MDMA, heroin, cocaine and other narcotics.

“Need more whitey stuff ASAP brotherman … and the e-business!!! Please I’m in a bad bad shape,” he wrote in one message that was included in court documents. “We should have more happy pills!!!?? Can you??? Say NOTHING to NOBODY!!!!”

Broadway to Remain Dark Through 2020


Not unexpectedly, The Broadway League has announced that all productions will remain closed through at least January 3, 2021. Productions may begin to reopen on a rolling basis after this date, but some may not come back at all.

Some shows had already moved their openings to spring prior to this announcement, such as The Music Man with Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman.

Different groups are working with leaders in the medical and tech fields to consider in-theatre screening, testing, and sanitization protocols.

League President Charlotte St. Martin said, "We are determined to bring back the people who rely on this industry for their livelihood, and to welcome back all those who love this vital part of New York City, as soon as it is safe to do so. As so many of us in the Broadway community have been saying during this time: We'll be back, and we have so many more stories to tell.”

Gabrielle Union, Freida Pinto Team for ‘Dressed in Dreams’ Adaptation at Sony Pictures TV



Variety reports that Gabrielle Union and Fredia Pinto are working together to develop a series on Tanisha C. Ford's memoir, “Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl’s Love Letter to the Power of Fashion.”

The adaptation will be created under Union’s first-look production deal at Sony Pictures Television via her company 'I’ll Have Another' and with Pinto’s 'Freebird Films Entertainment'. Their respective partners, Holly Shakoor Fleischer and Emily Verellen Strom, will also be involved.

Ford released 'Dressed in Dreams' in 2019 to critical acclaim. The book details Ford's coming of age in a Midwestern city and "the history of Afros and dashikis, go-go boots and hotpants of the sixties, hip hop’s baggy jeans and bamboo earrings, and the #BlackLivesMatter-inspired hoodies of today."

In a joint statment, Union and Pinto told Variety:

“Tanisha’s memoir brought up so much for each of us being women of color. Fashion is such a huge part of one’s self-expression and to this day plays a major part of how we each operate in our daily lives. For us, growing up with such unique and specifically cultural pieces of fashion helped shape our lives and we think it can be the driving force that tells the story of what it means to grow up being a proud woman of color. We have been friends for a long time and we couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to develop something alongside a force as brilliant, funny and fierce as Tanisha Ford.”

Sia revealed that she had previously adopted two Black 18-year-old sons.
Now both are 19, and one of them recently became a father to two babies of his own.
Her grandchildren call her "Nana” but she is trying to get them to call me ‘Lovey,'

Sia went into detail about the adoption process, and the profound effect it had on her worldview.
“I’m a little bit jaded now after investigating the foster system as much as I have done in the last year, because it’s completely corrupt; it’s failing us. My kids have been in 18 different locations in their 18 years.”

Sia and her sons struggle for mutual trust, She feels they’re making progress.
Her adult children are going through trauma recovery programs, and they’re starting to enjoy real personal growth.

Sia revealed how recent instances of police brutality have taken a toll on her own mental health.
She’s “very scared” for her children. “I’m embarrassed that it took me to adopt two Black sons to really understand what they go through on a daily basis,”

TW: CSA allegations — Adam Savage of 'Mythbusters'

[Source tweet and high-level summary of allegations]

Miranda Pacchiana, 51, sister of former MythBusters co-host Adam Savage, 52, filed a lawsuit against him alleging he sexually abused her when she was between 7 and 10 years old and Savage was between 9 and 12.

You can read details of the accusations at the source. They're quite graphic.

Pacchiana filed her lawsuit under the New York Child Victims Act, which extends the statute of limitations for a survivor of child sexual abuse in criminal and civil cases. The original deadline, which was set in August, was extended last month until Jan. 14, 2021, due to the coronavirus.

[Miranda makes a statement]Pacchiana runs a website called The Second Wound to support sexual assault survivors. In a blog post this week she said she last made contact with Savage "over two decades ago" to address his "callous attitude about the abuse and his apparent disregard for the damage he had caused," but that he "chose not to acknowledge or show any compassion" for her pain.

"While nothing can give back what Adam Savage took from me, I hope this lawsuit will also demonstrate to my fellow survivors that we do not deserve to carry the shame of sexual abuse and assault."

[Adam and his mother release statements via his lawyer]Savage said: "While I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, this needs to end. For many years, she has relentlessly and falsely attacked me and other members of my family to anyone who will listen. By spreading numerous untrue stories about us in pursuit of a financial bonanza, she has tortured our entire family and estranged herself from all of us. I will fight this groundless and offensive lawsuit and work to put this to rest once and for all."

His mother Karen Savage said: "It makes me very sad to say this, but my daughter suffers from severe mental health challenges, and it's devastating that she's putting Adam and our entire family through this. Adam is a good man, and I support him completely."

People are pissed about Pop Smoke's cover art



Social media was ablaze on Monday after the cover art was revealed for deceased rapper Pop Smoke's upcoming LP.

Off-White creator Virgil Abloh, who was paid an estimated $25,000 to design the artwork, revealed the cover on his Instagram.

This what he came up with:


Virgil, who is also the artistic director for Louis Vuitton's menswear, explained the origin of the design in an Instagram post, which has since been deleted: ""The last conversation I had with @realpopsmoke was about what we we were gonna to do in the future. This album cover was one of like 5 things we talked about. He mentioned his story felt like the metaphor of a rose & thorns growing from concrete of of his hood in Canarsie, Brooklyn."
