SNL Drags Jussie Smollett in pretty awesome skit

I'm only peripherally even aware of who's on Saturday Night Live anymore, let alone catch an episode. But when I saw they hit out on the Jussie Smollett case I just had to indulge. Worth it. Playing off the ridiculousness of the stories claims, the skit opens on producers of Empire arguing with Jussie's agent (played by host, Sandra Oh) about whether he can return, meanwhile Smollett himself seems to be late.  When he arrives ....  (The video is below, if you just want to know what happened, ...

Snoop Dogg says he slipped Matthew McConaughey pot on movie set

Snoop Dogg and Matthew McConaughey are in a movie (huuuh?) coming out soon called The Beach Bum and it sounds like things got a little loose on the set. McConaughey and Snoop Dogg were on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the flick when they revealed that Snoop gave an unsuspecting Matthew real marijuana during one of their scenes together. 'You rapped for 13 hours straight,' laughed the 47-year-old rapper during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. 'But I go to Snoop and I go to the prop man and make...

Nicolas Cage files for divorce after FOUR days of marriage

So on Saturday Dailymail.com caught Nicolas Cage applying for a marriage license in Las Vegas with his make up stylist girlfriend, Erika Koike. They said he seemed agitated (I just assumed everyone in Vegas was agitated) at the time.  Video shows Cage making a scene, telling onlookers she was going to take all of his money. One witness says he appeared very drunk. At one point he raised his voice and started shouting about how Koike's 'boyfriend' is a drug dealer and that 'he isn't do...

2 Important Crime docs coming to Lifetime

Lifetime is the gold standard when it comes to turning crimes into over acted, but fascinating tv movies, so its little surprise they're bringing their A game to the popular Crime Documentary genre. First up is "From Darkness to Light", starring Leah Remini (no, it's not about Scientology) and 3 time Olympic gold winner Aly Raisman.  Aly was one of the dozens of Olympic athletes to come forward and say that Olympic doctor Larry Nassar had been molesting her for some time. Raisman and Remini ...

The KUWTK Season 16 Trailer is gold

Every year after the last episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians ends I sigh and tell myself I'm done with them. I can't watch another minute of that family and their shenanigans, it ends now.  And then several months later I see the trailer and suddenly time slows down and that premiere date seems too far away. Anyway, oh muh gawd.  Khloe saying "Tristan may love me, whatever that means, but he doesn't respect me at all." Well said.  I wish more people could just accept that about their...

FBI probing why Jussie charges were dropped

The world is talking about Jussie, just as he reportedly hoped.  So how did he get out of that seemingly done deal?? How was he freed after making a mockery of so many people?  No one knows. And many thought no one was going to look into it.   (Well, I sort of hope New York Times has a scrappy journalist up to the task) So it turns out you can currently hang your investigative hat on the FBI! The FBI launched a probe Wednesday to get to the bottom of Chicago prosecutors’ secret de...

Actor Michael Madsen arrested for DUI

You might not know Michael Madsen by name, (maybe you do, show off), but if you've seen many Quentin Tarantino movies you've definitely seen him. Best known for Kill Bill, the actor, 61, was taken into custody Sunday at 8:30 p.m. and released Monday at around 1 a.m. on bail set at $15,000. TMZ reported that Madsen had a blood-alcohol level of 0.1, while the legal limit is 0.08. According to reports, Madsen was taking prescription meds.  I love how people use that as an excuse. That's just ANOTHER reason you shouldn't be driving. Not an excuse for why you got shitty off ...

Second claim of cheating on JLo for ARod

It's been a bad week for cheating men.  Assuming there's any kind of truth to the newest rumor circling the recently engaged couple. Former Playboy Playmate, Zoe Gregory, 44, claims Alex Rodriguez sent her a dick pic and then asked her to find her another girl for what I assume was to be a three way. Gregory talked to London newspaper The Sun about the text sent from late December to early January. “He was being like a dirty dog. He seemed like a needy, horny bloke,” Gregory tol...
