Remember how happy you were when you heard they were in early talks for an unscripted Friends reunion on HBO Max? Well, now there is some news that is going to make you feel like you did when you heard the sitcom was leaving Netflix. That is because HBO Max’s Chief Creative Officer Kevin Reilly said that it is a “maybe.”
Reilly told the press at the TCAs that “There is interest all around, and yet we can’t get the interests all alighted to push the button on it.” What is holding it back from happening? According to Deadline, it is 8 digits. The cast and Warner Bros are 8 digits away from a number that will work for them both.
To that I say, I hope it doesn’t happen. Screw the greedy bastards. Don’t they make enough in residuals to make the fans happy. If it is not for the fans, then syndication will dry up and so will the money. Maybe instead of asking for so much for themselves, they could donate the money to charity. What do they need that much money for?
Before Keke Palmer played Queen Latifah’s daughter in Joyful Noise, she played her in niece in Barbershop 2: Back in Business. Don’t you love how sassy the 8-year-old was in that 2004 movie?
I am sure you have seen Sean Evans interview celebrities. Not sure who that is? He is the one who makes celebs eat hot wings that get spicier with each answer. Now you know who I am talking about. Well, he is going from YouTube to truTV starting on February 18th.
If you are a fan of his chat show, then I have some bad news for you. That is not what Hot One is about. It is a game show where contestants answer questions and eat a hotter wing for each round. The higher the pepper gets on the Scoville Scale, the dumber they get.
Each week, the two teams will compete in three rounds of trivia, and the team with the most money advances to the Ring of Fire. If they win that round, then they will win $25,000. However, I am sure, at that moment, they are more excited about the other prize…a milkshake.
Hot Ones has already filmed all of its 20 episodes, and so far, the contestants have reacted with tears, sweat, vomit, and in one case, a panic attack, as their mouths melt from the intense heat of the sauce. Good thing they have EMTs standing by. Personally, I think they would prefer to have the paramedics with them after the show. You know when nature calls because it burns, even more, coming out!
That is the show I am interested in. The producers should put cameras on their necks, recording their facial reactions as they go. I am such a sadist, so I cannot wait for this game show.
This April, TLC teamed up with four Drag Queens to make average duchesses become the Queens that they are. I wonder what they can do for Meghan Markle. She definitely needs to have her outside look like her inner Queen B. Too soon?
Back to Dragnificent, this reality show follows women who dream of making a fabulous entrance at an event which is very important to them like a wedding or high school reunion. Their dream will come true after they are made over by the Drag Queens and taught how to have the confidence to be the most important person in the room.
The women will be transformed by four magnificent Drag Queens. Alexis Michelle is a makeup artist, specializing in weddings and special events; BeBe Zahara Benet is an experienced event planner who can transform any room into a fantasy space; Jujubee, a fashion expert known for her dynamic and iconic looks, draws on her deep knowledge in drag couture and women’s fashion; and Thorgy Thor is a classically trained musician who knows how to get the party started.
This is the first makeover show that I want to be part of. Who doesn’t love watching a Drag Queen strut her stuff and know it is all for you. It is one of my biggest fantasies. While I won’t be living out my fantasy, I will be watching other women who are!
