Last week, Drew Barrymore, The Talk, and Jennifer Hudson went back into production and planned on premiering the new season of their daytime talk shows tomorrow. And the striking workers of the Writers Guild of America, along with actors, were not happy with their decisions.
Therefore, they started picketing their shows because even though they are cleared by the Screen Actors Guild to do their talk shows, they are not from the WGA because they have writers from the union who work there.
So, on Friday, Barrymore released a tearful apology video, and she got attacked again. So, today, she made an announcement. “I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” she wrote. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”
Shortly after her announcement, The Talk and Jennifer Hudson followed suit.
I hope that the AMPTP finally negotiates a fair contract ASAP because this is really hurting people. They have billions of dollars, and most of the people who work in show business have just hundreds left in their bank accounts. It is really bad here. People who aren’t even in the industry are struggling because they depend on the studios and their employees to keep their businesses alive.
It is disgusting how the AMPTP has handled this whole situation. Wait until they find out that you can’t take it with you in hell.
ABC made a huge mistake today. They cancelled The Wonder Years, which is their best show.
The show was a spinoff of the original ’80s series, and it was so much better. They did not shy away from tackling the hard subjects of the late ’60s and making them relatable for today’s viewers.
The writing and acting by Elisha “EJ” Williams, Dulé Hill, Saycon Sengbloh, and Laura Kariuki was top-notch.
I cannot say enough positive things about the show. So watch it on ABC.com and the Hulu app, and find out about the joy you were missing.
And ABC’s missed opportunity. They never knew how to market it. And that is why it was their lowest-rated original program, according to Deadline.
UPDATE: Dulé Hill responded to The Wonder Years’ cancellation in a way his character would’ve responded. “Be cool…. when chapter ends, another begins. Congrats to Saladin Patterson, this talented cast and our amazing crew on bringing this beautiful story to our TV screens for the last two seasons, he wrote. “I had hoped to share this story a little bit longer but that’s how it goes sometimes in this thing called show business. Grateful. What’s next? #TheWonderYears ✌”
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness seemed like they were going to be that rare couple who was going to make it. But their marriage did not survive being empty nesters.
The couple released this statement to People: “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.
“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”
The couple, who have been married for 27 years, have two children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.
The two met in 1995 when they worked on the Australian series Corelli, fell in love, and were married on April 11, 1996.
No reason was given for their split, but I blame Deadpool.
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai had a love affair during the pandemic and solidified it by getting married in March of 2021.
However, their story has come to an end because yesterday the Rapper filed for divorce from the talk show host, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The couple has a prenup, so their divorce should be easy. However, Jeezy is asking for joint custody of their daughter, Monaco Mai, who turns two in January.
The host has been seen out in public more recently, and now we know why.
