Five days after Will Smith ruined the Oscars by slapping Chris Rock over a stupid joke, he has had made a decision about his future with the Academy. The disgraced actor sent a letter to AMPAS and has resigned as a member.
I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film. So, I am resigning from membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and will accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.
Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.
I wonder what finally made him decide to do it. Was it the interviews and comments by the people who worked on the show where they claim he traumatized them? All that Chris Rock did to save his ass on Sunday night, and how Rock has taken the high road when he performed live this week? Or did he realize there is no way to come back after Sunday unless he starts showing some humility?
CBS announced today that it picked up The Drew Barrymore Show for a third season, but there are going to be some big changes.
The biggest one being that her one-hour show will now be two half hour ones that can feel like a full hour if need be. Does that make sense?
Starting the fall, CBS is explanding their morning news until 9:30a. The last half hour will let the local channels do their own news broadcast. If they want, they can air one of Barrymore’s 30 minutes there or hold it until later.
“Stations have always had a finite amount of shelf space, so we’re evolving the syndication model to meet the needs of our partners,” Steve LoCascio, President of CBS Media Ventures said. “We could not be happier to continue our relationship with CBS Stations and our other station partners to deliver more of ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ through this innovative new idea. From Drew’s unique take on everyday news to headline-generating celebrity interviews to lifestyle how-tos, Drew is a force of nature who has brought a fresh optimistic viewpoint to daytime television. We love having her as part of the CBS family.”
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Will the networks split her show up, or will they air the talk show as a full hour. If they do that, then what happens with extra half hour they now have to fill? We will find out soon enough.
In the olden days, it used to be that Calgon would take us away via bath. Now, Pringles wants to do that with a Sour Cream & Onion Body Wash.
While some body washes promise to leave us smelling good all day, Pringles will leave us tasting that way. Yum! I can’t wait to try it on my lover because he needs to taste better!
Shark Tank has been on the air for 13 seasons, and it looks like they will be going through some major changes next season. That is because Barbara Corcoran told Kevin O’Leary that Daymond John quit. Then she called John to tell him the same about O’Leary.
The lengths she will go through9 to get the center chair. Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec, and Lori Greiner better watch because there is a new HBIC, and she will do anything to get and keep that title.
Butterfingers are delicious as they are. However, there is always room for improvement.
Therefore, there is a new viral trend where people are putting Hellmann’s mayonnaise on the candy bar. Sounds disgusting, right? But they are giving it a 10/10. So, I tried it, and I give it an 11 out of 10. That is why they always say, “Don’t knock it until you try it!”
