At the close of her book “I’m Glad My Mom Died”, McCurdy expresses gratitude to someone named “Ari” for their unending love, support, and encouragement, stating “I love you so much. You’re my best friend. I’m so glad we’re a team. We’ve got each other.” It’s worth mentioning that throughout the book, McCurdy consistently refers to her co-star from “Sam & Cat”, Ariana Grande, as Ariana. Consequently, it seems unlikely that these thanks are directed towards Grande. Additionally, in the first episode of her podcast “Empty Inside” (which has since been removed from all podcast apps), she also calls someone named “Ari” her boyfriend.

Eight individuals have shared accounts of abusive, manipulative, or inappropriate interactions with author Neil Gaiman. These encounters, while appearing like consensual BDSM practices, lacked the safety measures and open communication that are fundamental to this community. One accuser also implicated Gaiman’s ex-wife, Amanda Palmer. Initially reported on a Tortoise Media podcast in July 2024, Scarlett Pavlovich accused both Gaiman and Palmer of human trafficking. Pavlovich claims that Palmer initially introduced her as their live-in nanny to Gaiman, and alleges that he raped her repeatedly, with Palmer being aware of this possibility. In a lawsuit, Pavlovich alleges that Gaiman aimed to coerce sexual favors and child care from her by making her believe that refusing would result in severe harm or confinement.

Conner, visibly emotional, revealed to Whitney at their reunion that he had previously confided in her and his family about an experience from his childhood – being raped. He added that when he finally acknowledged this emotion and memory, everything became clear, providing the validation he needed. Later, reading a statement, Conner assured anyone who might have gone through something similar that “your story doesn’t stop at what happened to you.

In the Hulu special of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” on July 1st, it was first revealed that Leavitt and Affleck would be participating. They’ve already won a preliminary competition to secure their spots, as stated by reunion host Nick Viall. It is said that many women from “Mormon Wives” auditioned for the upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Affleck was pregnant during the taping of the reunion and recently went into labor at a nail salon, according to a TikTok post from June 27th. It seems likely that #DadTok will help out by taking care of the new baby while the mother of three learns her dance routines.

Previously, Dimma Davidoff, the inventor of the game Mafia, had never watched it. With the announcement of season four and season three being nominated for Emmys, I persuaded him to watch some episodes. We discussed his opinions about the show, as well as the 40-year history of Mafia, which began as an educational tool in Soviet-era Moscow. He shared how his game has impacted television shows, movies, and similar games over the decades, with some even acknowledging him financially. However, The Traitors does not fall into this category. Furthermore, he offered advice to next season’s contestants, coming from the man who is most knowledgeable about this type of covert scheming on earth.

Details about the highly awaited film of the year, according to Letterboxd enthusiasts, are provided below.

On several occasions, Peacock has parted ways with iconic crimefighters from its Universal lineup, such as Jim Rockford and The Rockford Files, which served as a stepping stone for David Chase, the future creator of The Sopranos. Despite our fondness for Jim, Magnum P.I. (MSW) was a more popular series that continued airing into the 1990s and can still be found on cable television frequently. Interestingly, this popularity might be why the show is leaving NBCUniversal’s platform: Since so many people continue to enjoy MSW, Universal can capitalize on the series across various platforms they don’t own. The show continues to air on channels like Hallmark Mystery and others, while NBCU operates an MSW FAST channel (available on Pluto TV and Roku), which plays episodes around the clock along with a significant amount of commercials.

As a fan myself, I can’t help but share my excitement about AJ Blount, the 28-year-old administrative assistant and emcee from Orlando, who graced our screens on The Ultimatum: Queer Love. When her career-driven girlfriend, Britney Thompson, presented an ultimatum, Blount didn’t shy away; she stepped into the spotlight with her infectious charm and ability to connect with everyone around her.

Her dates were a testament to her boldness, as she fearlessly engaged in flirtatious conversations that often push couples on this show to their limits, quickly making her the focus of online discussions among lesbian viewers. The moment that really got people talking was during Blount and Bridget Matloff’s date—the groans and eye-rolls at the watch party I attended were deafening when Blount directly asked Matloff about her sex frequency, with many exclaiming, “Girl, WHAT?!” in disbelief. It’s clear that Blount is going to make this season one to remember!

After giving it some thought, I believe that Nick Viall is my second favorite choice for this role, just behind Heather Gay and Stassi Shroeder. Despite one instance where he seemed to be struggling (which we’ll discuss later), Nick did an impressive job of getting to the bottom of things while keeping any disdain he might have felt towards these women hidden. It’s clear that he has been putting in effort during the off-season by building trust with the moms and studying the footage, and it shows. Now, I feel like I need to cleanse my mouth with holy water and say a few Hail Marys for praising him. In the meantime, let’s dive into the details.

At the Summer Con fan expo in Puyallup, Washington on June 22nd, it’s claimed that Kove bit Hannah-Kim’s arm quite forcefully, causing her significant pain and almost drawing blood. After tapping him to say hello, he grabbed her arm and took a bite. Hannah-Kim screamed in discomfort, after which Kove started kissing her arm. Hannah-Kim informed her husband about the incident, leading to a confrontation with Kove. He reacted defensively and lashed out at the couple, asserting that their cast-bound play fights were commonplace. No charges were pressed against Kove, but a report was filed for future reference. As a result of the assault, he was asked to leave the convention.
