Before Bernie Kopell was a doctor taking care of drunks on The Love Boat, he was a cop getting people drunk on television on The Dick Van Dyke Show. How funny was the 39-year-old being the straight man in that 1972 episode?
Is it just me, or does it seem like every male singer from the ’70s is getting a biopic, like Bob Dylan, Elton John, Queen, and Bruce Springsteen? Well, now we can add Billy Joel to the list. However, you can’t add BJ’s music to Billy & Me.
The Piano Man’s rep told Variety, “Since 2021, the parties involved have been officially notified that they do not possess Billy Joel’s life rights and will not be able to secure the music rights required for this project. Billy Joel has not authorized or supported this project in any capacity, and any attempt to move forward without it would be both legally and professionally misguided.”
The movie is being told from the perspectives of his first manager, Irwin Mazur, and his drummer, friend, and the man who was married to his first wife, Jon Small.
It will tell the story of his early days, before the hits. So it can be done without his music. But then, why would you do it?
And if it is as bad as most biopics, why even waste everyone’s time, especially since Joel’s documentary, And So It Goes, was so informative? What more do we need?
Forget The Odyssey, Disclosure Day, Master of the Universe, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Toy Story 5, and The Avengers: Doomsday. The movie everyone should go see this year is Stop! That! Train!
The Comedy Disaster film is up there with Airplane and Naked Gun with slapstick brilliance. The humor might look simple, but it is harder to achieve than trying to tuck into a thong that is two sizes too small when you are two sizes too big, if you know what I mean.
The Comaster follows best friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatens to derail the high-speed train and crash it into Los Angeles, the duo in coach must join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia) and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild ride of camp and comedy.
A movie this epic needs a cast to match. And they have it in Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Latrice Royale, Monét X Change, Rachel Bloom, Matt Rogers, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Visage, Chris Parnell, Jerry O’Connell, Lisa Rinna, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Charo, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Natasha Leggero, Drew Droege, Raven-Symoné, and Joel McHale.
The only drag thing about the Summer Blockbuster is the Queens who star in it.
Sashay your way to movie theaters on June 12th for a ride you are never going to want to get off!
Grey’s Anatomy is getting a third spinoff in 2027, and this one will take place in Texas.
According to Deadline, the medical drama will be “an edgy drama about a team at a rural West Texas medical center — the last chance for care before miles of nowhere.”
The untitled show’s pilot will be written by Shonda Rhimes, who created the series with Grey’s’ EPs’ Betsy Beers and Meg Marinis.
This is in the early stages, so it is unclear when it will air. However, there is talk of it sharing the same timeslot as Grey’s who had its episode order cut for next season.
Also, as of now, no one from the Mothership is expected to be a regular on the new show. But there are rumblings that Debbie Allen’s character might be attached to it.
Will you watch, or are you like me, and hoping that ABC will finally pull the plug on the Grey’s franchise?
When South Park returned for season 27, they showed a naked donald trump, including his penis. That penis was not CGI, and I know that because yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Trey Parker brought it with him. That is right. We got to see trump’s stump in real life. And the creators were generous.
That was not the only secret that Parker and Matt Stone shared about the animated show. Why did they make j.d. vance Tattoo from Fantasy Island? It is because they feel like mar-a-lago is like Fantasy Island. It was supposed to be a one-off joke. But everyone loved it so much that it stuck and will be around from now on.
It sounds like he will be back when South Park returns to Comedy Central for season 29 on September 16th, with additional episodes on September 30th, October 14th, October 28th, November 11th, and November 25th. I hope this Summer flies by so we can get new episodes. And beat the heat.
