Nice feature on Beyond the Gates, the first hour-long daytime soap on US television featuring a predominantly Black cast. Anyone remember Generations? This may bring back some memories.
📺: CBS and Paramount+ airdate is February 24.

Thanks to his philanthropy, Paul Newman's non-profit Newman’s Own has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to good causes. If you see his products in a supermarket, I definitely recommend the French dressing.
(Paul's widow Joanne Woodward, also an Oscar winner, is 94.)

From Milly Dowler to Prince Harry and Gazza. Do Murdoch, Morgan, Rebekah Brooks and all the tabloid journalists of that era feel guilt over what their skankiness did to Paul Gascoigne? Director Sampson Collins outlined it all excellently in Gazza, which is on BBC iPlayer.

Former senior Met officer Sue Akers is slated to give evidence during Prince Harry's lawsuit about the way News Group dealt with the Met’s investigation. Let's just say Murdoch's minions, including Washington Post's Sir Will Lewis, don't come out looking good.
The Murdochs just made a ‘massive’ settlement offer to Prince Harry www.celebitchy.com/905752/

Barring a late settlement, Prince Harry’s lawsuit against Murdoch's News Group Newspapers begins this week. Potential embarrassment for the royal family, The Sun in Britain and even The Washington Post, thanks to the appointment of ex-Murdoch minion Will Lewis. Good luck, Harry!

So sad that we've lost Tony Slattery; he was only 65.
Best known for Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the Cambridge Footlights star (alongside Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie) revealed he was a child abuse survivor living with mental health issues and more. RIP.
R.I.P. Tony Slattery. Seen here with Hugh Laurie in The Cambridge University Footlights Review (20th May 1982).

It's beyond disgusting to see Trump back in the White House, especially after January 6.
Officers Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, Eugene Goodman, Daniel Hodges and all who defended the Capitol that day deserved so much more.
Hey everyone! The discussion I had with Officers Fanone and Dunn about their thoughts and feelings on the fourth anniversary of Jan 6 attack was so important, that I lifted the paywall. Please take a look, it’s very powerful

Khloe Kardashian is smack talking LA Mayor Karen Bass over the wildfires.

In 2022, Khloe used roughly 101,000 gallons of water over the allotted limit during a drought.

Her sister Kim Kardashian used 232,000 gallons over the limit.

IN ONE MONTH.

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

@gabyhinsliff.bsky.social With regard to your comments on Times Radio, this unwritten rule that Meghan must always be disparaged is tedious in the extreme.
The "trad wife" accusation is a poor one, especially as she has long maintained her advocacy for various causes AND her lifestyle interests.
January 11, 2025 at 4:11 PM
"The fact that it has become her trolls’ latest battleground marks a sad and tedious continuation of the misogyny and racism surrounding Meghan Markle."

Good points made. Well worth a read.

The devastation is truly jaw-dropping; I can't imagine the trauma for the people who had to flee for their lives. Many have lost everything, and they will be considered the lucky ones.
Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

Held in 1972 with The Queen Mother attending, the Royal Variety Performance boasted some pretty big international stars; Liberace, singer Jack Jones, Elton John and The Jackson 5. This is a fab performance from the brothers. Well worth a watch.

"Before it was The Apollo, it was a whites-only burlesque theatre. In 1934, under new ownership and a new name, it opened its doors to everyone..."

Such an interesting watch; the story of The Apollo and the story of America are intertwined. Here's to many more years!
