Ryan Murphy is trying his luck at sitcoms with Mid-Century Modern, and he has the producers and cast to back him up.
The comedy stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham, and the late Linda Lavin. Lavin was filming this series when she passed away from lung cancer on December 29th.
The show comes from Will & Grace’s creators, Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, and the Sitcom King, Director James Burrows.
Mid-Century Modern follows three best friends – gay gentlemen of a certain age – who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.
MCM filmed a few episodes in January after the actress died, but they never said how they will be handling her passing. I hope they do it respectfully because she deserves it. We lost an amazing talent when we lost her.
Do you remember, as a kid, you would get the Ring Pop and suck on the candy jewel? It was so much fun. And now I know a good teaching lesson.
Sorry, back to the story. Did you ever wish there was a chocolate version? Well, for a limited time there will be one this Spring! And it comes with bling, as in sprinkles.
“For years, Ring Pop has played a role in making every seasonal celebration exciting and over the top!” says Allison McCants, Senior Director Seasonal Innovation at Bazooka Brands. “With the new Milk Chocolate Ring Pop, we’re taking that to the next level. Combining the excitement of the iconic Ring Pop brand and the love our fans have for chocolate, we can’t wait to see how this sweet innovation becomes part of their celebrations!”
As much as I love this idea, I foresee one problem with it. You can’t wear it on your finger because it will leave your finger and hand covered with milk chocolate.
The box with two chocolate Ring Pops will be available at Walmart for $2.00.
Susan Lucci was a guest on Good Morning America this morning, and Michael Strahan wanted to get some tips on how to do the perfect fight scene. And she was more than happy to demonstrate one.
The legendary diva noticed that there was a glass of water that she could use as a prop, so she picked it up and held it. Then, she decided to go for it and splashed some on his face.
That was nice, but everyone was wanting more, including the host. So he asked what happens when you don’t get it on the first try. She explained that the victim goes to hair and makeup, and gets ready to do it all over again.
With that, he asked for more water. This time, she did not hesitate and threw a whole glass of water at him. Leaving his face drenched with water.
However, that was enough for the crew. So, they gave her a pitcher of water. He got down on his knees and poured it all on his head, leaving him soaking wet.
But he was not mad; he just laughed it off because he had a lot of fun. And he can say that he survived a fight with the great Erica Kane. Maybe survived is not the correct word. But he lived to tell about it.
At least on air. Because when the camera panned to the crew, they were lined up to give it their best shot. It was just like that scene in Airplane when the passengers lined up to slap the woman who needed to be calmed down.
Keke Palmer showed up to the SAG Awards wearing something older than her. The actress wore a floor-length black velvet Chanel gown with a gold leaf embellishment around the neckline.
The dress made its fashion debut in 1985 on the runway, eight years before KeKe was born. In 1986, Jamie Lee Curtis wore it at the First Annual American Cinematheque Award Salute to Eddie Murphy, almost 29 years later to the date.
So, who wore it better: Palmer or Curtis? The Oscar winner wrote, “As much as I would love to say it was mine, it was borrowed from my friend @debopp [Deborah Oppenheimer] and I’m thrilled to be anywhere near @keke in style and grace and talent!”
Jamie Lee Curtis was a presenter at the SAG Awards on Netflix yesterday, and she shared a secret while announcing the winner for Male Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series.
She told the audience, “And the actor goes to the man who gave me COVID at the Golden Globes, Colin Farrell.”
The SAG Awards winner looked shocked and was silently telling the laughing actress he felt terrible because he didn’t know that he did. But would he acknowledge it in his speech? “Guilty as charged!” Colin said, “But Brendan Gleeson fucking gave it to me. So, I was just spreading the love!”
Can I be part of that spreading the love? I don’t want COVID, but I would like to try to get it from The Penguin!
