Quinta Brunson is locking in for Abbott Elementary’s sixth season, saying the fifth season meandered a bit and had some filler. Of course she holds herself to a high standard, but some filler is expected of a network sitcom that runs for years and years. Friends had filler, Modern Family had filler – it’s part of the charm.

If you live in BC you know exactly what Michael Bublé is indulging in for his birthday, you can practically feel the chocolate coin melting in your hand. His caption says he has the palate of a child but I rebuke this because a Pirate Pak is packaged for children but the food in it – the burger, the Triple O sauce, the fries – are the same an adult would get.

Ooooooh the Entourage boys are fighting. Jeremy Piven and Adrien Grenier did some kind of betting ad and it’s a rip-off of Entourage, which writer and director Doug Ellin is pissed about. I see Doug’s point here: love it or hate it, this is a specific style of dialogue and these nostalgia ads (Uber Eats does them often) heavily rely on famous characters, which were created in part by writers. But they only need the actor for the 30-second facsimile.

Meta has launched some kind of new AI that’s an assistant (because it’s not like there’s a million apps that track what we do online) and Teyana Taylor and Nina Dobrev are both doing sponcon for this. But let’s get back to the app – it can draft emails and make restaurant reservations. Is that the best use of technology? Anyone can go on Open Table and book a reservation in 5 seconds. Why doesn’t AI ever clean toilets.

Katie Holmes and her boyfriend Jason are doing collab posts, they are in LOVE love.

Last year, there were multiple headlines about Kelly Wolf, wife of Scott Wolf, experiencing a mental health crisis that was covered pretty extensively by PEOPLE, EW, and Page Six. The language around it was vague and because those are all entertainment media outlets, the angle that was used to justify writing about Kelly, who is not famous, is that it’s about Scott filing for divorce. They both issued statements to PEOPLE and Kelly, deep in a mental health crisis, continued to post on social media. A year on, she explains what happened in her own words.
