A few months ago, Paul Reiser was all excited for a Mad About You revival series, but now things are looking a lot less optimistic. He told The Tampa Bay Times, “Sony is trying to figure out from their end; that’s where I just walk away and go, call me when you figure it out. I don’t know what happens at that level. They make their deals with whoever they make their deals with. So we’ll see if it happens. It may not happen. It likely won’t happen. My guess is it won’t happen.”
Reiser is hoping if it does happen, to get it on a streaming service over a broadcast channel, and even that is not looking likely at this point.
He kind of hinted that the problem might be the concept. He wants to do the show about their daughter Mable going away to college, and he and Jamie (Helen Hunt) are trying to deal with being just a couple again. Something many people do when their kids grow up and leave the house.
How mad would you be if Mad About You did not happen?
Dwayne Johnson is a good son, so he took his mom with him when he was on Good Morning America yesterday. He quickly regretted that decision when Michael Strahan revealed that he knew what DJ’s nickname was as a kid. Mamma Rock called him dew drop as a baby, then doo doo and finally, now she calls him Dewy! The former wrestler actually blushed when all those names were revealed, which was sweet.
Talking about wrestling, as you know The Rock’s dad Rocky Johnson was a very famous one. But did you know that his father was one of the first celebrities to grant a Make-a-Wish back in 1983? That is a tradition DJ has continued and will continue to do as long as he can. On every movie set, he makes sure to dedicate one day to make those kids feel very special. Whatever they want, he gets them and they all have a day they will never forget. Which is what Make-a-Wish is all about.
That is not the only tradition that he does on every movie set. He also has a different scent for each movie that he works on. He does not remember what they all are, but each time it is something new. Wonder what he will wear to taunt Kevin Hart when they film Jumanji 2. Because you know he loves to torture his buddy and we love to watch it happen.
Robert Downey Jr is a stylish man, but his style is very much his own. Very few people, if anyone else, can pull off his look quite like him. Case in point, here he is in Germany modeling a look like an old school Hollywood director with a touch of modern day flare. I think that is the best way to describe it. Can you do better?
All he said is, “Honestly, I can’t wait to get this look back from the cleaners…” They probably will never believe that one person wore all of those separates together. But then again, this is Iron Man and he is very unique. That is why we love him so much.

After months of rumors that Joaquin Phoenix is going to star as The Joker in an origins film, Warner Bros confirmed today that it is a go today according to The Hollywood Reporter. No word when the Todd Phillips directed film will be coming out, but it is slated to begin filming in September.
What about Jared Leto’s Joker from Suicide Squad? That feature is still in the works. Because what does Hollywood need more of? They need more movies from DC Comics and Marvel. Says fewer and fewer moviegoers.
Back to Phoenix as The Joker, I think it is a bad choice. Ever since his stupid stunt for a movie that totally sucked, I lost all respect for him. He is crazy enough to play the villain but he does not have the same charm as Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger who have also played the iconic role.
