BBC’s Maryam Moshiri was getting ready to go live yesterday for her lunchtime news bulletin, and she was caught on camera giving the middle finger before reading the news.
Well, needless to say, the viewers were not happy, and the clip went viral.
So today, she apologized and explained what happened, “Hey everyone, yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery.
“I was pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0.. including the fingers to show the number. So from 10 fingers held up to one.
“When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.
“It was a private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air! It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone. I wasn’t ‘flipping the bird’ at viewers or even a person really.
“It was a silly joke that was meant for a small number of my mates. ♀️”
As someone who has worked in TV news, I believe her story. But then again, I have been caught doing so many things on camera I should not have been doing because I didn’t know it was on me!
We are 24 days away from New Year’s Eve. So it is about time that ABC revealed who is going to be performing at New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest.
The first round of announced performers are Aqua, Bebe Rexha, Coco Jones, Doechii, Ellie Goulding, Green Day, Janelle Monáe, Loud Luxury, Ludacris, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Paul Russell, Reneé Rapp, Thirty Seconds to Mars and Two Friends.
I love that ABC is taking advantage of the fact that Aqua is touring in America and asked them to be part of their special. I just hope they get to perform more than their hit Barbie Girl because their other songs are equally as good.
Seacrest, who is hosting the shindig for his 19th year, will be joined by Rita Ora in Times Square, and Dayanara Torres will be co-hosting from Puerto Rico.
The cast of Apple TV+’s Shrinking got together, and they all looked happy to be there. Well, not everyone. Harrison Ford appears to be his typical grumpy self. Although, it might be his happy face. We don’t know because we never see him smile.
Even though Alfonso Ribeiro was known as The Tap Dance Kid before he moved to Hollywood, he is most known for his Carlton Dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
So on Tuesday night, when he was reunited with Witney Carson, who was his pro-partner when he won Dancing with the Stars, they decided to do a dance to the theme song from Fresh Prince. And guess what? There was no Carlton involved.
Such a sacrilege. Even if their short routine was spectacular.
When you think of Ribeiro, which dance stage of his comes to your mind? Since we grew up in the same hometown, he will always be The Tap Dance Kid to me even though I have seen him do breakdancing before he danced with Michael Jackson.
Celebrities love Taylor Swift. However, Celebrity Jeopardy found the three who don’t know her or her music.
You would think the category Also A Taylor Swift Song would be easy for Kyra Sedgwick, Mo Rocca, and Amanda Seales, but it turns out it was impossible for Mrs. Kevin Bacon.
She is going to have to hide her head in shame. Especially since she lives in New York and didn’t know the last question.
Seriously, this is the saddest thing I have ever seen on Jeopardy. I mean, they aren’t even Nursery School Jeopardy Smart after this category.
