Before Jean Smart had seven Emmys, she was credited as a Woman Bather in Before and After. You can totally recognize her voice when she was 27 making her on-camera debut in that 1987 television movie of the week.
CBS announced today that P!nk is hosting the Tonys, the award show that is dedicated to Broadway, something she has never done. So, I am completely confused as to why they asked her over a Broadway star like Jonathan Groff, Andrew Rennells, or Alan Cumming.
Even the singer was confused, “When I was asked to host @thetonyawards, my first question was — don’t you need to have been on Broadway for this?” I guess not.
“We are thrilled to welcome the incomparable P!NK as the host of this year’s Tony Awards – a fearless artist whose powerhouse voice, electrifying stage presence and undeniable authenticity embody the very spirit of live performance and theater,” said executive producers Raj Kapoor, Sarah Levine Hall and Jack Sussman. “A passionate fan of Broadway, she brings a genuine love for the art form alongside her bold creativity and deep connection to audiences around the world, and we know she will deliver a fresh, dynamic energy to Broadway’s biggest night!”
I don’t doubt that she will bring a dynamic energy to the show. I just don’t get why they didn’t ask someone who has done theater to do it. But that is me.
The Tonys will air on June 7th, and I expect Keanu Reeves to be nominated.
It seems like everything that Bill Lawrence creates these days is going to be a huge success, and Rooster on HBO and HBO Max is no different.
The series is set on a college campus, centering on an author’s (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive). The critical darling looks like it will be the network’s most-watched freshman comedy in over a decade, averaging around 6 million viewers in its first four episodes.
Clancy Collins White, President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Television, quote: “ROOSTER is a heartfelt, endearing series, and its second-season renewal is richly deserved. Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses are masters of their craft, bringing their signature heart and humor to life through an incredible cast led by Steve Carell. We’re thrilled to continue this creative journey with HBO and Doozer.”
I keep meaning to watch it because my friend’s daughter is in it. Now that I know it is picked up, I am so going to tune in.
The remaining six episodes for this season will continue to debut on Sundays at 10p.
In May 2024, Taylor Momsen was bitten by a bat while performing with her band, Pretty Reckless, during their tour with AC/DC.
Now, almost two years later, she is back on the road with her band and the Classic Rockers in Mexico, and once again, something thought she looked good enough to eat. This time, a spider bit the Grinch actress, and the venom did a number on her system.
So, they called in a doctor, who gave her a shot before she took the stage. I know they say the show must go on. But if a spider tried to kill me, I would have taken the night off.
I mean, you have to let the venom do its magic on you so that you can become Spider-Woman. However, she didn’t turn into Bat “the Gossip” Girl when he gave her a hickey. Maybe a bite is just a bite, and it doesn’t turn you into a superhero like it does in the comic books.
If I were Momsen, I would not do another tour with AC/DC because with her luck, the next bite could be the charm she doesn’t want. I mean she could get bit by a scorpion or a snake.
Talking about snakes. She thought working with Blake Lively was the scariest thing she would ever have to deal with on the job. Just joking! It was too easy not to go there.
Back to Taylor. I sincerely respect her for going out there and performing because most musicians would have gone home and left the fans disappointed.
Jean Smart has won seven Emmys, but she only knows the locations of six of them. The Emmy-winning actress told Jimmy Kimmel yesterday that she has no idea where it is. And correctly said to her, “That means you have too many Emmys.”
He is not wrong. Can you believe that of the seven, none of them are for Designing Women? She has two for Fraiser, one for Samantha Who, and four for Hacks. Which one is missing? The one for Designing Women!!!
Talking about designing. We found out that she makes her own window washer fluid. She keeps a jug of it in her basement. Can you imagine taking someone down there and asking her what that is? That has to be an interesting conversation.
However, not as interesting as the one she had with her late husband, Richard Gilliland, on a plane. The actress often gets mistaken for Kim Cattrall, and a passenger on a flight did just that. He was convinced that she was on Sex and the City, no matter how much she denied it.
Then, an hour later, the stewardess handed her his business card, and he wrote on it that he was respecting her privacy but that he really liked her on that show. Well, her husband said that she needed to correct him ASAP because he thinks he saw you naked, which he didn’t.
Anwyays, back to her looking like the Mannequin star, I never realized until now how much they look alike. Did you see it before she mentioned it?
