Tonight is the second to last episode of This Is Us on NBC at 9p, and it is the episode where Rebecca goes to join her two husbands, Jack and Miguel, in heaven. In other words, she succumbs to her illness.
Due to this “penultimate episode”, Mandy Moore gave us a warning, “all I can say is cue the tears 😭😭😭”
As if we didn’t know that was going to be the case. If we cried for Miguel’s death, then we are so going to be blubbering idiots through the whole episode and New Amsterdam. Good thing we have the 11p news to cheer us up.
Do you hate when celebrities give long-winded speeches at awards shows? The Webby Awards feel the same way. Thus, they told all the winners that they could only give a 5-word speech.
Gordon Ramsay was one of the winners, and he needs an award for Best Acceptance Speech. The MasterChef started it out with, “No! Cursing! Tonight!” Then he finished with it, “F*ck me!”
I think all awards shows should have a word limit, and they should try to top Ramsay. Although, I don’t think that is possible!
Eric Clapton is postponing his upcoming shows because he has COVID-19. You know, that plague he won’t get vaccinated against.
Eric Clapton is unfortunately suffering from Covid having tested positive shortly after the second concert at the Royal Albert Hall. He has been told by his medical advisors that if he were to resume traveling and performing too soon, it could substantially delay his full recovery. Eric is also anxious to avoid passing on any infection to any of his band, crew, Promoters, their staff and of course the fans.
So, after intensive internal discussion, it has been decided with great regret and apologies to all those concerned to postpone the performances in Zurich on 17th May and Milan on 18th May, the present hope being to be able to resume the tour starting with the concerts in Bologna on 20th and 21st May.
It is very frustrating that having avoided Covid throughout lockdown and throughout the period when travel restrictions have been in place Eric should have succumbed to Covid at this point in time, but we very much hope he will be sufficiently recovered by the end of the week to be able to perform the remainder of the planned performances.
Clapton cares so much about his fans that he is willing to perform while he is still testing positive for coronavirus. Therefore, he is risking their health.
And his concert is not one worth getting COVID over. I saw him once, and I am happy the tickets were free. It was so dull I felt the air conditioner. If he was that much of a yawn 20 years ago, then imagine how sleep-inducing his shows are now.
Stay home and listen to his old stuff. This way, you can save the money on a show that will put you to sleep. Seriously, I am yawning just thinking about it.
ABC went into last season pretty weak, and this season they look to be even weaker.
In case you didn’t hear, the network moved Dancing with the Stars to Disney+. They are replacing with Bachelor in Paradise. It will be interesting to see if people will tune into it. It is definitely a different audience. That, and is two nights of it going to be overkill? I think so.
Wednesday is a huge mistake. The Conners and The Goldbergs are way passed their expiration dates and need to be put out of our misery. I say that, and I suffer watching them every week. So many people love Abbott Elementary, ABC’s only family-friendly comedy, so it should’ve been airing at 8p instead of 9p. It also should’ve been paired with The Wonder Years. I don’t know what they see in Home Economics. Wednesday is a colossal failure.
The rest is what it is. What do you think? Oh, I won’t say that Not Dead Yet is total Ghosts ripoff.

Kim Kardashian wore a dress that Bob Mackie sketched for Marilyn Monroe to wear to sing Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. It was a one-of-a-kind dress, so what did the legendary designer think about it?
“I thought it was a big mistake,” Mackie told Entertainment Weekly. “[Marilyn] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
Mackie is 100% correct. It was his design, and it was designed for only one person to fit her every curve perfectly.
Kardashian might be able to use her money and influence to get whatever she wants. However, that doesn’t mean she should. I hope she learned a lesson from this because she was rightfully panned for this decision for so many reasons. The biggest one being she looked hideous in it.
Mackie knows how to make a woman look spectacular, as he has done for women like Marilyn, Cher, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, and Carol Burnett.
