Jeers to a Clueless Idea for a Reboot.
CBS Television Studios is eyeing a dark update of the frothy 1995 comedy that would see a modern-day Dionne (Stacey Dash in the movie) looking into the disappearance of her bestie, Cher (Alicia Silverstone, center, with Dash, pictured). As if anyone asked for this.
Cheers to Seth Meyers
for delivering a stand-up set worthy of a standing O. For his Netflix special, Lobby Baby, the Late Night host (pictured) offers a closer look at the crazy birth stories of his two sons that celebrates his wife and shows how great comedy can be in the hands of good guys.
Cheers to Timothy Simons
for going from goofy to gut-wrenching. Best known as Veep‘s much-mocked White House staffer turned politico Jonah Ryan, the actor has us looking at him in a whole new light, thanks to his poignant turn as a boarding- school headmaster trying to help a class of kids navigate a tragic event in Hulu’s beautiful Looking for Alaska.
Jeers to USA
for impeaching Pearson. The Suits spin-off starring Gina Torres was just heating up its dive into dirty Chicago politics and we’re sure this slow-burn series would have become a bright spot on the network’s schedule if given a second season. Oh well, at least this frees up the immensely gifted Torres to take on a new character we’re sure to be obsessed with.
