Pulitzer Prize winning critic Tom Shales dead at 79.

Jonathan Majors dumped from upcoming Dennis Rodman movie.

Oh, he finished the sequel to A Canticle for Leibowitz. I have them both. If you have never heard of it, it's one of the seminal novels of science fiction that's just not well known outside the genre.

And they both went through. Surprised the hoola-hooper got in over Piff.

[announcer voice] But wait, there's more! 'Anatomy Of A Fall' Actor Samuel Theis Accused Of Rape, Booted From Set Of Latest Project

Aisha Harris of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour wrote an entire article about her love of TCM's In Memorium montage.

Good to know the lawsuit won't get dismissed on a technicality. And now there are multiple accusations Sony Pictures Television has opened an investigation as well.

It just takes one domino for the others to fall: Nigel Lythgoe faces second sexual assault suit. But this suit was filed on January 2 so it may get thrown out.

NPR In Memorium: The Musicians We Lost

Cher files for conservatorship of adult son Elijah Blue.

DVR caught a 5 minute preview for AGT: Fantasy League which actually premieres this Monday January 1. Had to separately set the DVR because the title is exactly that and not just America's Got Talent. So the judges are all picking 'teams' of their favorite acts to compete. It seems to be an excuse for a lower stakes All Stars but I saw acts I'm glad to see more of so I will watch.

Have to disagree, Jacquie was awful on both songs. Shouting is not singing. Lila was also bad. I can't believe they applauded that mess but the coaches are useless at this stage. It should come down to Ruby and Mara if we're going by performances. I'd rather Ruby win than Huntley even if I hate country. Huntley was okay but just...kind of there. His hair has more charisma than the rest of him.

Yes! That was pretty much all I could see and couldn't focus on the product. The whole outfit wasn't flattering. There is nothing to trademark/patent/copyright about sticking panties in a bag.

How soon before Boarderie starts featuring Rebel cheese?

I watch Cold Justice because it's performing a valuable service and I hope to see people brought to justice. But I've come to realize I don't like Kelly very much and haven't cared to see this new show.

Former police officer Stephanie Lazarus successfully got away with killing her ex-boyfriend's wife for 20 years before she was arrested and sentenced to 27 years to life. It was featured on The Real Murders of Los Angeles among other shows. Now she may get parole. It's not guaranteed of course but I hope they find against her.

Legendary military science fiction and fantasy author David Drake has died.

Wall to wall country, ugh. And yodeling. I loathe yodeling. Needless to say, I will not be following whomever wins since it's most likely a country artist.
