Donald Trump Claims Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘Fired’ from ‘Apprentice’ for ‘Pathetic’ Ratings
22 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
On Friday we learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger would not be returning to “Celebrity Apprentice.” “I learned a lot, I had a great time, it was a really great opportunity, but under the circumstances I don’t want to do it again,” the host told Empire magazine.
Now, Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to weigh in on Schwarzenegger’s decision to leave the NBC reality competition show. “Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t voluntarily leaving the ‘Apprentice,’ he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show,” Trump Tweeted early Saturday morning.

And then came Schwarzenegger’s response, implying Trump had not gotten the facts rights. “You should think about hiring a new joke writer and a fact checker,” he Tweeted.

— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) March 4, 2017
During his interview with Empire, Schwarzenegger said his decision to leave the show had to do with the fact that Trump is still one of the executive producers. “It’s not about the show, because everyone I ran into came up to me and said ‘I love the show… but I turned it off because as soon as I read Trump’s name I’m outta there!'”, the actor said. “Even if asked [to do it again] I would decline. With Trump being involved in the show people have a bad taste and don’t want to participate as a spectator or as a sponsor or in any other way support the show.”
Dubbed “The New Celebrity Apprentice,” the eighth season of the show aired from January 2 to February 13.

Saturday Night Live: Kate McKinnon as Jeff Sessions Featuring Octavia Spencer

It didn’t take Saturday Night Live very long to go back to doing what they’ve done best this season: rip on politics. From the get go Kate McKinnon did her best Jeff Sessions by acting out a memorable scene from Forrest Gump. McKinnon acted as the disgraced Attorney General while sitting on a park bench next to Leslie Jones who plays the nurse from that memorable bus stop scene that took place way back in 1994. “My name’s Jeff, Jeff Sessions. I’m the attorney general of the whole United States.” “I always say life is like a box of chocolates,”

Save for a terrific, Forrest Gump-inspired cold open, where the Oscar-winning actress ever-so-briefly reprised her role from The Help opposite Kate McKinnon’s Jeff Sessions, Spencer was wasted in a series of uninspired, practically unwatchable sketches.

Saturday’s are tough days for me and I’m sure many of you who enjoy watching a good TV show here and there. The reason is because there really aren’t too many good shows on TV on Saturdays. The reality is that we’re all supposed to go out and have fun on Saturdays right? I mean that’s why the networks don’t schedule anything good except for Saturday Night Live and maybe Counting Cars. And since I have two kids who are 4-years-old and 11-months-old respectively what are the chances I go out tonight. You think I’m going out when

TMZ reported today that Larsa and Scottie Pippen are back together again. Larsa posted a pic of the two Saturday and it’s got “happy couple” written all over it. Scottie filed for divorce from the former “Real Housewives” star back in October, but the two hanging out again recently. This picture seems to prove that all is right again in the Pippen house again. So, anything else to say? Yup. Who cares? Why is Scottie Pippen’s love like a big deal? I’m pretty sure the only reason is because Larsa is ridiculously attractive and because every time Scottie Pippen’s name

If Danny Masterson is Guilty, Please Lock this Guy Up

I never liked Danny Masterson. All the way back to his days when he was in the movie “Bye Bye Love” as the guy who says “Party Party!” I never got a good vibe from him. I never liked him on “That 70s Show.” He was the only character I didn’t find funny. While he’s not quite the same guy as Johnny Galecki I used to get the two confused. Anyway, that’s besides the point. I just didn’t like his gruff character. I never felt he brought anything to the table. What does this have to do with Danny Masterson

Since I see Die Hard once a year on the big screen at a special theater in Brooklyn, anytime there’s news about Die Hard I’m posting it here on this website. As it turns out a major plot hole from the movie has finally been revealed nearly 30 years later. Remember the scene where John McLane and Hans Gruber first meet? Gruber (played by Alan Rickman) pretends that he’s one of the Nakatomi Corporation employees who managed to escape. McLane (played by Bruce Willis) believes him as Gruber passes himself off as “Bill Clay,” an actual employee. So what tips

HBO, BBC One Order ‘Shibden Hall’ from Sally Wainwright
6 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
HBO and BBC One have teamed up on a new project: “Shibden Hall,” an eight-part drama created and written by Sally Wainwright (“Last Tango In Halifax,” “Happy Valley”).
Set in West Yorkshire in 1832, “Shibden Hall” is the story of landowner Anne Lister. Returning home after years of travel, Anne determines to transform the fate of her faded ancestral home in Halifax. To do so, she must marry well. But she has no intentions of marrying a man — she plans to marry a woman.
“Anne Lister is a gift to a dramatist. She is one of the most exuberant, thrilling and brilliant women in British history, and I can’t wait to celebrate her” said Wainwright. “To bring Anne Lister to life on screen is the fulfillment of an ambition I’ve had for twenty years.”
Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming, said, “We are thrilled to partner with the extraordinarily talented Sally Wainwright on this epic story »

If you work in the film industry there’s no other sign that you’ve “made it” than being invited to The Oscars. It’s the ultimate event and walking the red carpet is something that those in the industry not only aspire to but will never forget for the rest of their lives. Some in the business have been walking down the red carpet since the age of 8 while others never made it down there until they were 44 years old. Even if you’ve had a successful career on television that doesn’t mean you’ll be heading to the Oscars. It’s about

‘Saturday Night Live’: Host Octavia Spencer Skewers Oscars, Trump
8 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
“Saturday Night Live” host Octavia Spencer poked fun at Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony in her monologue.
Of course, President Trump and his administration were also targets of skewering as the NBC late-night mainstay returned with a new episode after a two-week break.
“SNL’s” cold open featured a “Forrest Gump” spoof with Kate McKinnon as embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the guise of Gump discussing his “bad week.” The former Alabama senator is battling accusations that he was less than truthful during his confirmation hearings about his contacts with Russian officials during Trump’s presidential campaign. McKinnon’s Sessions noted that the growing controversy over perjury allegations distracted from the positive coverage of Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night, when the President spoke “real words in a row for a whole hour.”

Remember When Patrick Stewart Was Knighted?

Whenever people refer to Patrick Stewart they seem to forget the “Sir” part. Not that it’s always customary to use it but I think people don’t realize that Stewart was knighted by the Queen back in 2010. During the ceremony the then 69-Year-Old actor had one person to thank. He said he owed “literally everything” to the English teacher who first encouraged him to perform. “Although many people in my life have had great influence on me, without this man none of it would have happened,” he said following the investiture. Now that Stewart is in the news so much

‘Custody’ Review: Viola Davis Can’t Save This Wildly Messy Lifetime Movie
10 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
“Custody” is the cliched wedding toast of movies. Actually, it’s the drunken cliched wedding toast of movies, in that it starts by defining the title — “the protective care or guardianship of someone or something,” in case you’re unfamiliar with the lofty legal term — before spiraling wildly off-topic, delving full-on into the lives of the wedding guests and often forgetting why these stories are relevant to the happy couple.
In other words, it’s a mess, and if you’re purely interested in Viola Davis’ involvement, I urge you to skip to the first and only paragraph below staring with “Viola Davis” (or the one ending with “our beloved Vi Vi”).
To continue the wedding analogy, our happy couple at the heart of “Custody” is Sara Diaz (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and her kids. A single mother working at a dry cleaner, Diaz is constantly worried about her kids getting into trouble, »

Earlier this week Patrick Stewart confirmed his retirement from the X-Men series and said that Logan would be his last stint as Professor Charles Xavier. As many people already know, Hugh Jackman said that he too would be in his last Wolverine role with Logan. However in Hollywood not only is anything possible but “never say never” always applies. As late as yesterday Stewart has been backtracking on this whole retirement thing. While Stewart may not come back to X-Men, could he wind up in a Deadpool movie? During a sit down with MTV to promote Logan, the chat spends
