When will Alex Trebeks last episodes air

So if you're like me you tuned in to Jeopardy last night to witness the final five episodes taped by Alex Trebek.  Only to see a very old episode (with a very young Ken Jennings) airing in place of new ones. This is for good reason, it turns out.  Showrunners were concerned that one or more episodes could be preempted for holiday mishagos or that people would miss them because they were tied up doing said mishagos. The final episodes will now air January 4th - 8th and we're told they ...

Leah Remini says Tom Cruise rant is just a publicity stunt

Most of know that Tom Cruise doesn't take a piss without passing it through PR and his god Xenu.  Now Leah Remini is giving us more proof. The “Scientology and the Aftermath” host told The Underground Bunker, an anti-Scientology website, on Wednesday that Cruise’s angry outburst toward film staff was just for show and that his “abusive” personality is nothing new. “I would bet that Tom had this rant written for him and had his Scientology assistant record and release it,...

Elliot Page thanks fans for all their love and support

Elliot Page is feeling thankful after coming out as a non-binary, transgender person.
On Sunday, the 33-year-old Oscar nominee shared a selfie while thanking fans for their continued "love and support," writing, "From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your love and support has been the greatest gift. Stay safe. Be there for each other."
Page then gave a shout-out to two organizations that provide resources and advocate for transgender rights. "If you are able, support @transanta and @translifeline See you in 2021 Xoxo Elliot," the actor added.
Earlier this month, Page, known for starring in the 2007 breakout film Juno, released a lengthy and heartfelt statement on Twitter and Instagram, and shared: "I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot."
"I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life," he wrote. "I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. I’ve been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community."
"Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society," Page added. "I also ask for patience. My joy is real, but it is also fragile. The truth is, despite feeling profoundly happy right now and knowing how much privilege I carry, I am also scared. I’m scared of invasiveness, the hate, the 'jokes' and of violence."

Tom Cruise dating MI7 costar, Hayley Atwell

We all know Tom has the very best publicists and it seems they're working overtime to make you forget he threatened to fire anyone who stands too close to one another amid Covid rules. We all know Tom has the very best publicists and it seems they're working overtime to make you forget he threatened to fire anyone who stands too close to one another amid Covid rules. I want to be clear, I approve of Tom's rant. If Hollywood insists on being open, because that shit is NOT essential, they better follow every rule. Ok, anyway, so how better to distract people from a belligerent blow up than with the tantalizing tails of love between costars?? Tom, 58, and Hayley, 38, are sai...

French Montana Buys LA compound

You have to forgive me.  I know French Montana because he was putting moves on one of the Kardashian's at one time, but when I read he bought his most recent home from Paul "PG-13" George I was stumped.  Has he no involvement with the Kardashians?  And still claims to be in hip hop? I don't think so. But I digress.  This place is Cuh-Rayzee.  The property sits on Ashley Ridge — Hidden Hills’s most desirable neighborhood pocket, where other residents include Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, Jeffree Star, and Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, who will retreat to a new $9.5 million mansion when they’re released from the big house in 2021. And Dodgers icon Vin Scully happens to live right next door to the new French Montana estate. This monster home is 16,000 square feet and has 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.  A steal at $8.4m.

The Night Court Sequel you didn’t know you wanted

Night Court was top shelf funny when it was in it's heyday back in the 80's.  The funny Judge Harry Stone seeing the misfits of the night in his all jokes, no waiting court room. Attorney's represented the hooligans and the city and representing the prosecution was Dan Fielding. The sex obsessed snob that was played perfectly by John Larroquette.  Think Simon Cowel if he had the brains to be a lawyer. Now word is Laraquette is returning to court to lead a reboot. The sequel follows...

Britney Spears chops off her hair amid reports of trouble at home

Man. Britney Britney Britney.   The troubled singer took to Istagram last night to share her new locks, and ... I don't hate it.   I don't hate it at all.  I just wish she'd stop with that tragic eyeliner look. Brit shared a bunch of pics (she loves to take the same shot over and over with just a slightly different duckface in each) of her new hair cut stating "Out with the old... in with the new". This comes amid lots of rumors that she hasn't spoke to her father, who was her conservator for years, in many months. Britney's father claims her legal team has advised her to cut off all communications with him, saying they were on 'good terms' until August. "I love my daughter and I miss her very much," he told CNN. Adding, "When a family member needs special care and protection, families need to step up, as I have done for the last 12-plus years, to safeguard, protect and continue to love Britney unconditionally. I have and will continue to provide unwavering love and fierce protection against those with self-serving interests and those who seek to harm her or my family." So what do you think of the new cut?

The Seinfeld “Soup Nazi” is making bank on Cameo

If you're not familiar with Cameo.com, you must visit.  The site is filled with mostly C and D celebs, with a serious sprinkling of A and B listers (Richard Dreyfus, come on. What are you doing?) who will record personal video message for a fee. Some of those fees as low as $50, some as high as $2500. Recently the CEO of Cameo was talking to The New York Times and made the claim that Larry Thomas, best know to Seinfeld fans as "the Soup Nazi," was making six figures selling messages on the s...
