TAGGED AS: Disney, Sci-Fi, science fiction, streaming, television, TV If season 3 of The Mandalorian has you feeling Baby Yoda fever all over again, here are five more shows like it that are totally worth checking out. Pedro Pascal guiding an orphan through dangerous terrain may seem like old hat now, but The Mandalorian was the first to do it, and it just completed another Certified Fresh, must-see season. And with more Pedro, more Star Wars, and more hero-and-sidekick action, this list will be your perfect companion for a binge-filled evening — or five. BRAND-NEW PICK: 96% The Last of Us (HBO) Starting with our brand new — and somewhat obvious — pick, The Last of Us. Released on HBO and HBO Max in January, this series quickly became a hit and one of the most talked about shows in a long time. And what matters here today, is that it gives you what The Mandalorian can’t: more Pedro Pascal! After just one Certified Fresh season, The Last of Us is now widely considered among critics to be one of the greatest video game adaptations ever. While you wait for the officially greenlit season 2, it’ll take you around 10 hours to watch the first season, and then a couple more days to totally process what you just watched. Where to Watch: by subscription on HBO Max buy season 1 at Vudu, Prime Video, Apple TV THROWBACK PICK: 83% Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972) (Toho Company) Making the journey as our throwback pick is the Lone Wolf and Cub franchise, which includes six films and a tv series. This manga story was first published in 1970 and screams Mandalorian, as it’s centered around an assassin father and his 3-year-old son who travel together seeking revenge. Over the years critics have praised the sword work of the actors and twists and turns of the story, saying that this movie franchise features the rare type of film that succeeds as either lowbrow visceral entertainment or high-concept art. You can binge all six movies and 80 episodes in just about 80 hours. Where to Watch: by subscription on HBO Max rent/buy at Vudu, Prime Video, Apple TV AUDIENCE PICK: - - (Disney+) Bringing some rebellion to this list is our audience pick, Andor. With fan-favoriteStar Warsactor Diego Luna leading the way as thief–turned–rebel spy Cassian Andor, this series takes us into previously unseen parts of the Star Wars universe — much like The Mandalorian. After a Certified Fresh first season, Andor holds the highest Tomatometer score out of all the live-action Star Wars shows, with critics calling it an exceptionally mature and political entry into the mythos. With the second and final season probably not coming until 2024, you can watch the 12-episode first season in about nine hours. Where to Watch: by subscription on Disney+ EDITORS’ PICK: - - (Disney+) Climbing out of a sarlacc pit to be our editor’s pick is The Book of Boba Fett. This series takes place at the same time as, and even crosses over with, The Mandalorian. It features Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand, both reprising their roles from previous Star Wars titles, including The Mandalorian. While it hasn’t garnered quite the same praise as Mando and Andor, the first season is still Fresh on the Tomatometer. And critics say that it ultimately earns its commission with spectacular set pieces and Morrison’s commanding presence. No official word yet on a second season, but in the meantime, you can watch the first season in just over five hours. And then you too, may be able to survive a sarlacc pit! Where to Watch: by subscription on Disney+ CERTIFIED FRESH PICK: - - (Disney+) And finally, our Certified Fresh pick is another live-action Star Wars series: Obi-Wan Kenobi....

In New Mexico, the involuntary murder charges against Alec Baldwin were dropped. Halyna Hustchins, Joel Souza and Alec Baldwin were both shot on October 21, 2021 with a weapon that Alec Baldwin was holding while they were filming Rust in New Mexico. Hutchins was killed by the gunshot. Souza survived. Baldwin has insisted that the gun wasn't loaded and that it was "cold"; he also claims that he didn't believe he pulled trigger. Baldwin, and others on Rust, were always criminally negligent in my eyes. However I did not believe that Baldwin intended to hurt anyone. This was an accident caused by negligence, incompetence, and misinformation. Baldwin was charged with involuntary murder... Halyna Hustchins, Joel Souza and Alec Baldwin were both shot on October 21, 2021 with a weapon that Alec Baldwin was holding while they were filming Rust in New Mexico. Hutchins was killed by the gunshot. Souza survived. Baldwin has insisted that the gun wasn't loaded and that it was "cold"; he also claims that he didn't believe he pulled trigger. Baldwin, and others on Rust, were always criminally negligent in my eyes. However I did not believe that Baldwin intended to hurt anyone. This was an accident caused by negligence, incompetence, and misinformation. Baldwin was charged with involuntary murder by a New Mexico prosecutor in January, almost three months earlier. These charges have now been dropped. New Mexico prosecutors have dropped the involuntary murder charges against Alec Baldwin that were brought for the shooting death of a cinematographer on the set "Rust", who died when the gun he used to practice with went off. An official who spoke anonymously about the case said that a new team took over the case after which they reviewed new evidence. This showed that the gun that Mr. Baldwin had been practicing with was modified before being delivered to the set. The official explained that this evidence undermined the prosecution's initial argument that the gun couldn't have fired without Mr. Baldwin pulling the trigger. Mr. Baldwin has always maintained that he didn't pull the trigger, even though he was told that day on the set the gun had no live ammunition. He also claimed to investigators that the gun went off when he pulled back the hammer and let it go. The original prosecutors said the F.B.I. The analysis of the weapon showed that the shooter must have pulled it, and this was a factor in their decision to file charges. Luke Nikas, one of Mr. Baldwin's attorneys, and Alex Spiro issued a joint statement saying, "We welcome the decision to dismiss this case and encourage an investigation into the circumstances and facts surrounding this tragic accident." Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film armorer who was in charge of weapons and loaded the gun on the day of shooting, was charged in this case with involuntary murder. Jason Bowles said that she had informed him of the decision of the prosecutors to dismiss the case. However, the charges against Gutierrez Reed remained. The New York Times The charges against Gutierrez Reed remained ..." good. Gutierrez Reed was the person most responsible for the Rust set according to almost all accounts and investigations. She was the armorer and was responsible for all the weapons. She also had to make sure that no one gave Alec Baldwin a gun with a hair-trigger loaded. I have said it before, but I don't think Baldwin is not criminally or legally liable. He was the producer of Rust and was in charge of production. In a broader sense, he had managerial responsibility. Manslaughter, however, was never a realistic option. We won't be getting a Hilaria-Baldwin courtroom telenovela then, are we? We'll have to remember fondly her impromptu press conference in Mexican accent on the street after her husband had been charged. Alec shared this IG post shortly after the news broke (Luke was his lawyer). See this post on Instagram Alec Baldwin shared a post (@alecbaldwininsta). Backgrid ABC provided the photos.

Caitlyn Jenner’s Mom Passes Away: “The Only Person That Loved Me…” Caitlyn Jenner has suffered a heartbreaking loss. On Friday, the long-time reality announced that her mother, Esther, had passed away at the age of 96. Jenner confirmed the very sad news via an emotional Instagram post, which was penned alongside photos of Caitlyn with her late parent. Here is a snapshot of Esther on her 95th birthday, for example: “I am heartbroken to announce my mom passed away yesterday morning, peacefully,” the 73-year shared via social media on April 21. “Losing a mother is unique in the sense that she is the only person that loved me my entire life.... Caitlyn Jenner has suffered a heartbreaking loss. On Friday, the long-time reality announced that her mother, Esther, had passed away at the age of 96. Jenner confirmed the very sad news via an emotional Instagram post, which was penned alongside photos of Caitlyn with her late parent. Here is a snapshot of Esther on her 95th birthday, for example: “I am heartbroken to announce my mom passed away yesterday morning, peacefully,” the 73-year shared via social media on April 21. “Losing a mother is unique in the sense that she is the only person that loved me my entire life. I will miss her tremendously. “She was a few weeks shy of 97 and lived a full life. “Love you mom.” VENICE, CA – AUGUST 12: Gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner talks to reporters about homeless issues as she campaigns to overthrow California Gov. Gavin Newsom in an upcoming special recall election on August 12, 2021 in Venice, California. A well-funded campaign collected the needed 2 million pro-recall signatures that triggered the special election to be held on September 14, ahead of the regularly scheduled 2022 general election. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images) A quick scroll through Jenner’s Comments section reveals a number of supportive words — as Kimberly Guilfoyle wrote: “I am so sorry for your loss. God bless your mom. Sending you hugs and prayers.” Elsewhere, Jacqueline Osborne added: “So sorry for your loss, sending loads of love xxxx. Esther commented on her child’s transition in 2015, telling People Magazine in June 2016 that it took “so much courage” for Caitlyn to publicly embrace her true identity. “When I first saw [Caitlyn], all I wanted to do was give her a big hug,” she said at the time, emphasizing that all that matters is that “she’s happy.” Over the years, Esther also appeared on several of the famous family’s reality programs… including on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, I Am Cait, and Untold: Caitlyn Jenner. In a July 2015 Vanity Fair interview regarding her transition, the former Olympian said that her mom had not yet “met” Caitlyn. However, she already had positive hopes for their relationship. “[My mom and I] had a conversation the other day, we were talking about a lot of things, and, you know, she goes, ‘You know what, I think I can have a better relationship with Caitlyn now than I [could before],’” Caitlyn said way back then. “And so when she ends the conversation, she goes, ‘OK, goodbye, Caitlyn.’ It was very funny, very cute.” Caitly’s dad, William, passed away in 2000; and her brother, Burt, sadly died in 1976. Along with Caitlyn and Burt, the couple shared daughters Pam Mettler and Lisa Jenner. Esther is survived by her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We send our condolences to Caitlyn, her friends, family members and loved ones. May Ester rest in peace.

Michelle Yeoh to Star in the Next Star Trek Film, and More Movie News This week’s Ketchup brings you more headlines from the world of film development news, covering such titles as Star Trek: Section 31, Venom 3, and new projects for Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, and Jason Momoa. This WEEK’S TOP STORY OSCAR WINNER MICHELLE YEOH TO STAR IN NEXT STAR TREK (Photo by Araya Doheny/Getty Images) The Star Trek franchise has had decades’ worth of major stars who have appeared in some capacity, but there have been relatively few Academy Award winners in the films, with Whoopi Goldberg’s supporting role as Guinan in the Next Generation movies being the most obvious example... This week’s Ketchup brings you more headlines from the world of film development news, covering such titles as Star Trek: Section 31, Venom 3, and new projects for Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, and Jason Momoa. This WEEK’S TOP STORY OSCAR WINNER MICHELLE YEOH TO STAR IN NEXT STAR TREK (Photo by Araya Doheny/Getty Images) The Star Trek franchise has had decades’ worth of major stars who have appeared in some capacity, but there have been relatively few Academy Award winners in the films, with Whoopi Goldberg’s supporting role as Guinan in the Next Generation movies being the most obvious example (she won Best Supporting Actress for Ghost). However, the franchise will soon have its first movie starring a Best Actress winner, with the news this week that Michelle Yeoh, hot off her win for Everything Everywhere All at Once (Certified Fresh at 94%), will reprise her Star Trek: Discovery character in a spin-off feature film called Star Trek: Section 31. The spin-off had originally been planned as a Paramount+ series, but Yeoh’s post-Oscars glow apparently inspired Paramount to make Star Trek: Section 31 the first feature film adapted directly from one of the recent shows, instead of continuing the “Kelvin” timeline featuring stars like Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saltana, Karl Urban, and Simon Pegg. Other Top Headlines 1. ETHAN COEN TO DIRECT CRIME COMEDY DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS (Photo by Mondadori Portfolio/Getty Images) Joel and Ethan, aka the Coen Brothers (Fargo, The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men), are one of Hollywood’s longest running and most prolific filmmaking partnerships in not just Hollywood today, but possibly in all of Hollywood history. The two brothers generally shared writing, directing, and producing duties on most of their films, but Joel Coen was usually the one credited as director when only one was credited. This fall, Ethan Coen will be delivering his first solo narrative feature as director (he previously directed the documentary Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind in 2021) with a crime comedy called Drive-Away Dolls (9/22/2023). Drive-Away Dolls will follow a group of young women on a road trip to Tallahassee who come across a gang of incompetent crooks. The young stars will include Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood), Geraldine Viswanathan (Blockers), and Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart) alongside other cast members like Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, and Colman Domingo. 2. REAL-LIFE BLACKKKLANSMAN’S SECOND BOOK TO BE ADAPTED INTO A MOVIE (Photo by David Lee/Focus Features) Spike Lee’s 2018 historical comedy BlacKkKlansman (Certified Fresh at 96%), the story of a black police officer who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in the the 1970s, was based upon the true story of a police officer named Ron Stallworth (portrayed in the film by John David Washington). Those events were not, however, the only ones to make for a great story, as Stallworth has written another book called From BlacKkKlansman to Hip Hop Cop, which has also now been optioned to become a movie. It’s unclear what the movie’s title might be, but the story follows an older Stallworth in the early 1990s (1990 to 1991) as “gangster rap” starts to become popular in the (mostly white) suburbs of Utah, and Stallworth, as Salt Lake City’s only black cop, was called upon to investigate the rise in gang violence. It is also unclear if Spike Lee or John David Washington will return for this new adaptation. 3.

The Office: How Old Jim & Pam Are At The Beginning & End Of The Show Jim and Pam were two of the younger starring characters in The Office. Here's a breakdown of their ages during major moments in the series. Despite most fans of The Office being obsessed with their relationship from the very first episode, there is some question of how old Jim and Pam are.

Despite most fans of The Office being obsessed with their relationship from the very first episode, there is some question of how old Jim and Pam are. John Krasinski plays Jim Halpert and Jenna Fischer plays Pam Beesley, the charming duo whose workplace crush developed into a romance that was at the heat of The Office for all nine seasons of the popular NBC sitcom. As the series continued, Jim and Pam built a life together - getting married, having kids, and growing their respective careers. Fans watch Jim and Pam build this life together over the course of the series and even watch a good portion of their lives before they become an actual couple. From Jim leaving Scranton to start a new life in Stamford to Pam's relationship with Roy falling apart, there were rough patches in their journey. Even when they were together, The Office's final season explored Jim and Pam's relationship problems in detail, showing they were not the perfect couple fans always saw them as. However, even after witnessing so much of their lives on the show, fans may still question how old Jim and Pam are on The Office. How Old Pam And Jim Are In The Office Canon Like most The Office characters, Jim was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania before getting a job at Dunder Mifflin. He grew up with multiple siblings, including two brothers, which was how he became obsessed with his Dwight pranks on The Office . Pam also grew up in the area, as evidenced by the fact that she was engaged to her high school boyfriend, Roy Anderson, when the series began, and the two never left their hometown. The pair both attained jobs at Dunder Mifflin, with Pam serving as the receptionist and Roy working in the company's warehouse. According to Office canon, Jim was the oldest of the two with a birthday of October 1, 1978, whereas Pam was born on March 25, 1979. Assuming they were both hired in the late '90s, a fact insinuated several times on the show, Jim and Pam were in their very early twenties when they were hired at Dunder Mifflin. When the events of the series began, it was the spring of 2005, meaning Jim and Pam were both around the age of 26. As they entered their late twenties, exciting events were on the horizon. Jim Pam Got Married In Their Early 30s Jim and Pam got married in Niagara Falls during season 6 after seasons of a "will they or won't they?" scenario. They officially started dating in May 2007, but they didn't go public with their relationship until season 4. At this point, both characters were 28 years old. Their wedding was set in October 2009, making Jim 31 and Pam 30. By then, the Halperts were already expecting their first child together. The couple welcomed their daughter, Cecilia, in March 2010 while they were still in their early thirties. In the seasons that followed, Jim and Pam faced the struggles of parenthood and a full-time work schedule. They both received increased amounts of responsibility as sales staff in the company. By the start of The Office season 9, Jim and Pam had their second child, Philip. While the final installment took place over the course of 2012 and 2013, the setting time jumped to May 2014 for the series finale. Jim and Pam were 35 years old when they decided to leave Dunder Mifflin and move to Austin for career changes. In the present day, the pair would be in their forties, wherever they may be in the fictional universe. How The Jim And Pam Actors' Ages Compared To Their Characters As for how the ages of John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer stack up against their counterparts on The Office, the age gaps are relatively small compared to those of some actors and characters. John Krasinski was born on October 20, 1979, making him almost exactly on...

Denise Richards Books Shocking Return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills We can now, at last, answer a question we posed way back in October 2021. Yes, celebrity gossip followers.

(Photo by Arnold Jerocki/Getty Images for Robert Gillings Productions / JOPR) “I have filmed some episodes,” Richards told Variety in Cannes this week of how she’ll appear in a guest-starring capacity later this year. “It’s been fun. And you know, I’m a big fan of the show, so it was fun to go back and film a lot of stuff with them.” The actress went on to say that her return happened in a “spur of the moment” fashion, adding to Variety that she won’t be featured in any promotional photos for the season. Denise Richards looks to make a serious point in this photo of her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Richards left the franchise in September 2020, following quite a bit of drama and controversy. A majority of her final season on The Real Housewives fo Beverly Hills was spent denying claims that she slept with Brandi Glanville, an allegation Glanville herself made over and over and then over again. “I’ve been a fan of the show and had a lot of fun doing my first season. Obviously, my second season was very challenging,” Richards previously shared on The Real. “I went back and forth with it and at the end of the day, I decided it was time for me to move on and focus on other projects that I have. “I’m glad that I did it though.” Denise Richards stares intensely here into the camera for this promotional photo. Richards had stayed relatively quiet since walking away from Bravo, although she made headlines last summer when she joined OnlyFans. “I truly was myself on the show. And I think some of the women are different on camera and off camera,” Richards also said this week to Variety. “And I think you know what? Don’t self-produce. Just be yourselves. You get a group of six to eight [to] 10 women together, your drama will come up, authentically. “Leave it at that and have fun with it.” Photo via BRAVO Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills began production in January. Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Girardi, Sutton Stracke and Crystal Kung Minkoff are all returning to the series alongside Gabrielle Beauvais. Before filming got underway, longtime cast member Lisa Rinna confirmed her departure, while newcomer Diana Jenkins announced days later that she was also moving on. y

All 130 A24 Movies Ranked TAGGED AS: Horror (Photo by A24) Indie moviecompany A24 has built an almost unprecedented level of brand identity and loyalty. Savvy moviegoers actually get excited seeing their rainbow chromatic card in front of movies, despite A24 not being associated with any one filmmaker (like J.J. Abrams with Bad Robot), genre (horror and Blumhouse), or medium (animation studios like Pixar). It’s simply a soft style that threads through the best movies they put out, not quite definable, that’s catnip to open-minded filmgoers and critics alike.

TAGGED AS: Horror (Photo by A24) Indie moviecompany A24 has built an almost unprecedented level of brand identity and loyalty. Savvy moviegoers actually get excited seeing their rainbow chromatic card in front of movies, despite A24 not being associated with any one filmmaker (like J.J. Abrams with Bad Robot), genre (horror and Blumhouse), or medium (animation studios like Pixar). It’s simply a soft style that threads through the best movies they put out, not quite definable, that’s catnip to open-minded filmgoers and critics alike. A24 began in 2013 with A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III , directed by Roman Coppola. It was decidedly not a box office or critical success, but does present one of A24’s modus operandi: Giving risky movies from established outsider filmmakers a shot in the theatrical space. You’ll see it again with Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers, Sean Baker’s The Florida Project, Mike Mills’ 20th Century Women, and Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring. Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight won Best Picture in 2017, demonstrating A24 has got their finger on the cultural pulse (with credit to the Academy as well, of course). Meanwhile,leaning into directorial debuts has paid off dividends, in the form of Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, Robert Eggers’ The Witch, and Ari Aster’s Hereditary. Recently Everything Everywhere All At Once became a pandemic-era sensation and rose up as the company’s highest-grossing domestic movie ever.

They also turn stages into obstacle courses, something Morgan Wallen found out on Thursday (Apr. 20). During the Apr. 29 stop on his One Night at a Time World Tour, Morgan, 29, performed “Heartless” to the crowd gathered at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. In a video obtained by TMZ, Morgan walked on the fog-covered stage and seemed in his element before something tripped him up. From there, it looked like Morgan would recover, but instead, he took a tumble – and vanished in all the fog! The band continued to play, and Morgan was able to get back to his feet with no major visible injury. TMZ adds how Morgan “didn’t miss a note.” The publication also reports that there were some technical issues with the lighting along the bottom of the stage during the performance, which might have contributed to Morgan’s fall. Morgan is enjoying some new career heights. His One Thing At A Time album has sat atop the Billboard 200, and its lead single, “Last Night,” has spent three non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His new single, “Thinkin’ Bout Me,” debuted at No. 21. One Thing had the largest streaming debut of any album so far in 2023, according to Spotify (per The Guardian ), a stunning accomplishment for a singer who first gained fame when he appeared on The Voice in 2014. Shutterstock That rise was threatened in 2021 when a video showed Morgan drunkenly shouting the N-word at friends. His label put him on indefinite hiatus, CMT pulled him from their platforms, and he was disqualified from the 2021 Grammys and 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards. He issued an apology video, pledged $500k to Black-led groups (the money was “largely M.I.A., reported Rolling Stone in 2021), and he retreated from the spotlight for a bit. However, Morgan didn’t seem to suffer much at the bank. The New York Times noted he had the biggest album of 2021. In May 2022, when hosting and acting as the executive producer of the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, Diddy had Morgan perform at the show. “As a musical family, none of us are saints; none of us are without things that happen to them in life,” he said in an interview with Billboard. “So one of the things I’m doing directly is uncanceling the canceled. That’s breaking news because people haven’t been about uncanceling. But canceling is a trend that needs to stop.” Click to Subscribe to Get Our Free HollywoodLife Daily Newsletter to get the hottest celeb news.

CBS releases a brand new Young Sheldon season 6 trailer teasing Mandy's answer but may have also revealed the first look at George's new mistress. A new Young Sheldon season 6, episode 18 trailer may have revealed the first look at George's new mistress. With Brenda Sparks finally making amends with George, it's difficult to imagine that she will move forward with a full-blown affair with the Cooper patriarch. But with Sheldon's story about catching his dad in bed with another woman still looming, it means that Young Sheldon will have to debut a new mistress for George. The mystery woman may have debuted in a new Young Sheldon season 6, episode 18 trailer from SpoilerTV . In the clip, George is talking to an unidentified lady in his home while casually drinking beer. Watch the clip below: The Young Sheldon episode titled "Little Green Men and a Fella's Marriage Proposal" will also reveal Mandy's answer to Georgie's question about tying the knot. But as seen in previous outings, The Big Bang Theory prequel likes to have unexpected plot twists in its storytelling to keep things fresh, so it isn't outside the realm of possibility that it moves George's cheating scandal plot forward as well. Who George May Be Talking To In The New Young Sheldon Trailer Admittedly, the blonde hair means that it can be Missy or Mary but neither fits with this mystery girl's aesthetic. Both Cooper women don't tend to wear their locks in what appears to be a high chignon. So, there's a possibility that it could be a brand-new character in the series. After all, given where it currently lands in The Big Bang Theory timeline, Sheldon's story about catching his dad in bed with another woman is on the horizon. It has been confirmed that the said incident will not be tackled in Young Sheldon season 6. In fact, showrunner Steve Holland floated the idea that the prequel may not even show on-screen. But, that doesn't mean that the series can just skip it altogether. At the very least, Young Sheldon needs to acknowledge that it happens — otherwise, this threatens to destroy the established canon beyond repair. Young Sheldon season 6 is on another mini-break — its last for the year. After that, there will be four consecutive new episodes, including a special one-hour finale. So much like all lingering plotlines in the series, expect that there will be considerable development when it comes to George's cheating arc. Source: SpoilerTV/YouTube

Telegraph: Meghan is plotting to 'vanish' this year! Last year, the Duchess released Archetypes her popular podcast to much acclaim. She did several magazine interviews to promote the podcast, but it wasn't necessary because Archetypes received millions in free media exposure. It's still a hugely popular podcast and has already won awards. Meghan was then seen at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, and then she went low-key as Harry promoted his memoir. She has only been seen a handful of times this year and won't be attending the fakakta shambles. The Telegraph couldn't stand the fact that Meghan could be private and quiet when she wanted to.... Last year, the Duchess released Archetypes her popular podcast to much acclaim. She did several magazine interviews to promote the podcast, but it wasn't necessary because Archetypes received millions in free media exposure. It's still a hugely popular podcast and has already won awards. Meghan was then seen at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, and then she went low-key as Harry promoted his memoir. She has only been seen a handful of times this year and won't be attending the fakakta shambles. The Telegraph couldn't stand the fact that Meghan could be private and quiet when she wanted to. This ruins their ridiculous talking points that she is a "famewhore", who "needs to be seen" constantly. Here are some highlights of this psychotic tale: Meghan Markle has not been seen in public this year. (Lie) But since the beginning of this year, nothing. Meghan Markle, who is based in Montecito and has not attended any official events this year (although she released official photos in March from a Los Angeles organization that helps homeless pregnant women), confirmed on Wednesday that she would also be absent at the King's Coronation in November. It was a well-kept secret among her Californian friends that Meghan Markle never intended to be at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of her father-in law. However, her absence from US society over the past few months is still a surprise. Meghan's plans: "The answer can be summarized in three words, planning, parenting, and regrouping." Friends have stated that the Duchess' decision to not attend the Coronation was partly due to her parenting duties, since it coincided with Prince Archie’s 4th birthday. Sources close to the Duchess now claim that the date clash was the "main reason" she did not attend the Coronation. Her British chapter has ended: Those who know her well have no doubts that returning to the UK during major events for the Duchess would be a step backward. After the trauma of Megxit her British chapter is over and she has only the US ahead of her. This argument is absurd. Friends also point out that the portrayal of the Duchess, as a publicity-obsessed person who uses the Royal Family to boost her profile, has been proven demonstrably incorrect by her decision not to attend one of the biggest global television events in the past year. The Duke and Duchess would be hard-pressed to deny that they enjoyed keeping the British media guessing about their Coronation plans, despite the fact that the decision had been made in January. Meghan isn't a writer: The Telegraph was informed that the talk of Meghan writing a multi-volume book for Prince Harry as part of his deal with Penguin Random House (much to the relief of Royal Household) is inaccurate. Instead, the Duchess is plotting her future in television, podcasting, and blogging. Meghan is still expected to restart The Tig. After leaving the royal life, Meghan's blogging ambitions have been unconstrained. A patent application for the revival of the website has already received preliminary approval from US authorities. She will therefore be able to restart the blog in June. The Duchess's plan will include articles, photographs, and interviews "in the areas of food, cooking and recipes, travel and fashion, style and lifestyle, arts, culture and design, conscious living and health and wellbeing". The site would also include "commentary in the area of personal relationships", which suggests Meghan may see herself as a kind of agony aunt for the rich and famous. Meghan has been exposed by Prince Harry for his decision to not repeat his wife's claims of royal racism, which were made during the couple's Oprah Winfrey 2021 interview. The Telegraph These idiots have been letting a bad girl go for over three years, and they still don't get it. Meghan was able to walk away free fro...

Is Mariah Carey Filing for Full Custody of Her Kids with Nick Cannon? Nick Cannon has fathered a dozen children with half a dozen different women. It’s not an even distribution, and he welcomed nearly half of his brood in 2022. Oh, and he doesn’t actually pay child support. Nick’s eldest children come to him by way of the one and only Mariah Carey. She stands out from his other baby mamas in several ways. Recently, reports said that she was going to sue him for full custody of their shared children. Has that changed? Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are no longer together. But they remain parents to little Moroccan and Monroe.... Nick Cannon has fathered a dozen children with half a dozen different women. It’s not an even distribution, and he welcomed nearly half of his brood in 2022. Oh, and he doesn’t actually pay child support. Nick’s eldest children come to him by way of the one and only Mariah Carey. She stands out from his other baby mamas in several ways. Recently, reports said that she was going to sue him for full custody of their shared children. Has that changed? Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are no longer together. But they remain parents to little Moroccan and Monroe. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) There haven’t been a lot of reports on this particular topic. Most of the Nick Cannon news these days tends to discuss more recent baby mamas — and babies. Meanwhile, his children with Mariah Carey — Moroccan and Monroe will turn 12 years old later this month. However, a recent report did claim that Mariah Carey aims to file for primary custody of their twins. Mariah Carey is known for two things: having a great voice and being a diva. (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images) Nick and Mariah divorced in 2014. Yes, one of the many distinctions that Mariah has is that she and Nick were married. Following that divorce, the two shared a joint custody arrangement. This has been the setup without fail or major alteration since Moroccan and Monroe were preschool aged. They are now both tweens. Sometimes, Nick Cannon uses his platform to say, or invite others to say, foolish or even harmful things. He later needs to apologize. Allegedly, Mariah wanted to file for primary custody to give Nick a wakeup call over how much time he spends as a parent to his first two children. After all, he has a lot more children now. There is no conceivable way that one parent could fairly divide their attention. To the five born in 2022, this will be the same for their whole lives. For his eldest twins, they might feel like their father is rejecting him because he is suddenly so, so busy. NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 16: Nick Cannon attends 2022 Fox Upfront on May 16, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Now, the same tabloid that reported in the first place says that it’s no longer happening that way. RadarOnline claims that Mariah Carey has experienced a change of heart. She no longer intends to seek primary custody of Monroe and Moroccan. In 2022, Nick Cannon received more “gifts” than most parents do in a lifetime. If any part of any of this is credible, Mariah’s boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, was the one who suggested the filing. Allegedly, the backup dancer wanted “some space from Nick,” a source described. “Bryan’s understandably upset,” the supposed insider claimed. “He’s fuming about it, but Mariah doesn’t seem to care!” PARIS, FRANCE – NOVEMBER 30: Nick Cannon attends the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on November 30, 2016 in Paris, France. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for Victoria’s Secret) “Bryan is tired of feeling like second best to Nick,” the source then alleged. “It’s been the elephant in the room for years now,” the insider griped. “And the main reason he hasn’t proposed or had kids with Mariah himself.” One can understand feeling insecure about a partner and her ex. But it’s for the best that it not impact the very real lives of actual children. If that was ever actually on the table to begin with.

Ninth Circuit says that expressive honking is not protected by the First Amendment Cal. Veh. Code SS 27001. To my horror, the Ninth Circuit panel has just voted to reject an First Amendment challenge against this draconian law. California law provides that: Each motor vehicle must be equipped with a working bell, gong or horn or whistle, or any other device that can emit a loud, abrupt sound to warn pedestrians, animal riders, drivers, and persons boarding or exiting street, interurban or railroad cars. It is illegal to use a bell, gong or horn for any other purpose than warning others of danger. Sorry, this was the 1913 original. This was five years... Cal. Veh. Code SS 27001. To my horror, the Ninth Circuit panel has just voted to reject an First Amendment challenge against this draconian law. California law provides that: Each motor vehicle must be equipped with a working bell, gong or horn or whistle, or any other device that can emit a loud, abrupt sound to warn pedestrians, animal riders, drivers, and persons boarding or exiting street, interurban or railroad cars. It is illegal to use a bell, gong or horn for any other purpose than warning others of danger. Sorry, this was the 1913 original. This was five years after Ford introduced the Model T. The Model T was a revolutionary vehicle, affordable, easy to use, and durable. It has left an everlasting legacy. Ford Motor Company is my client and I am not aware of any Model T-related litigation. It had many features that were new for its time. (Same) And as you can see it came with an horn. I assume that California was overrun from 1908 to 1913 by inferior vehicles without such a device. I believe or would like to believe that some vehicles after 1913 were equipped with large gongs capable of producing a loud, jarring sound to warn of the approaching vehicle. The statute says that: The driver must use his horn to give an audible alert when it is reasonable for the vehicle's safe operation. (b) Except as an alarm system for theft, the horn may not be used in any other way. Cal. Civ. Code SS3537 ("Superfluity doesn't vitiate "))," but it does not mention gongs or bells anymore, only boring old horns. It is important to note that it says the horn may only be used when "reasonably necessary" to ensure safe operation. What if I wanted to use it for communication? Susan Porter, a member of a protest outside a government building in 2017, allegedly violated this law by using her horn. According to the opinion, Susan Porter "honked her horn three times in a row, for a total 14 beeps" as she drove away from a protest (of which she was formerly a part). Unsurprisingly, the local deputy sheriff heard one or more beeps and acted immediately. He cited Porter bravely for misusing a vehicle's horn, as per section 27001. He did not appear at her hearing and the citation was thrown out. Porter, perhaps suspecting that deputy's actions were more than a neutral effort to protect the local community from malicious and willful tooting, sued, arguing that the law was unconstitutional. Porter's standing to file this suit was the first question. In federal court, "standing" is required to show a concrete injury. Porter stated that she no longer uses her horn to express herself out of fear of a citation. This "self-censorship," as long as it is "well founded", is sufficient. The State argued Porter did not meet her burden of proof because she "had not shown a plan for expressive honking in the future" and that almost no one is cited for violating Section 27001. It would be interesting to see a concrete plan for "expressive honking." But the court found that Porter still had standing without it. Let's move on to the First Amendment. I was glad to see that there was no disagreement about the fact that honking at least in some cases is "expressive behavior" to which First Amendment can apply. You already know this. Washington Horn-Honker wins First Amendment Challenge (Oct. 27 2011). It may be that it depends on the situation, but Porter's honks were clear. The Ninth Circuit, again disappointing me, wrote that "even though we do not define the full scope today of expressive honking," it held that "enough honks" will be understood within context to treat Section 27,001 as prohibiting certain expressive conduct. Porter argued that the law was unconstitutional, because it is a "content based regulation" which must be scrutinized closely. It's only valid if the law is "least restrictive"...

Samantha really wanted to sue Meghan over... what Omid and Carolyn Durand wrote about Finding Freedom. The judge dismissed most of the case but also granted Samantha and her attorneys a 14-day period to refile the case without the misinformation and lies. Samantha announced quickly that she would be doing so. Samantha quickly announced that she would do so. Samantha Markle claimed that her half-sister the Duchess Sussex used her six-episode Netflix series as a weapon in order to spread "malicious and hurtful lies" about her. The new allegations were part of an updated version of Markle’s defamation suit against Meghan. It was filed just hours before a two week deadline set by a judge for her, after Meghan’s motion to dismiss their original claim. Markle's lawyer said in a statement that they would be back with an "even better" case. The amended complaint focuses on Harry Meghan, rather than Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. Samantha Markle said that Meghan used statements to "demonize her" by portraying her as a "liar," a "fame seeker," and a "racist." She claimed that Meghan's supporters launched "hateful smear campaign" against her because of the show. She said she was the victim of "death threat" and "trolls," who hacked into her Twitter account. She filed her first case in March 2022. Meghan was sued for "defamation" and "injurious falsehoods." The Daily Beast You can read the original filing here. I don't care. I also include some tweets by Buzzfeed's Ellie Hall who has extensively covered Samantha. Legally, I believe Samantha's re-filed lawsuit has at least more weight, simply because Meghan and Harry are executive producers of the Netflix show. You know that Netflix's attorneys went through all of it, and nothing was allowed to air before being checked by legal. Samantha is also embarrassed. Samantha's own daughter, whom Samantha didn't raise, called Samantha a nutcase for being obsessed with Meghan.

He was an outspoken hater and snob. He believed Americans were unfashionable and gauche. Personally, I think he did mellow in his last years. Being a father to Choupette, his beloved cat, definitely helped his image. Vogue commissioned several designers to "interpret Lagerfeld's fashion archives with new looks." I must say that most of the new designs ATE. These designers are so great that people are wondering why Chanel didn't hire them. Vogue did a cover featuring "ten models Lagerfeld loved most", including Anok Yai and Shalom Harlow as well as Kendall Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Liu Wen. Karl loved Kendall? Really? Although she walked on some Chanel runways, I doubt that she was his favorite. The magazine brought Choupette to the editorial, which is amazing! Naomi Campbell was able to take a photo with Karl's cat, which I believe is now with Lagerfeld's senior staff. Wintour's letter can be read here. It was touching to hear her words about Lagerfeld. I also appreciate the fact that she did not want to pay a solemn or sad tribute. She wanted to celebrate his fashion legacy and be happy. Vogue also posted a lot on Instagram. They put a lot into it and it's really cool.

Jon and Kelley’s other son, Eneko, may have been down for a nap while his papa became a golfing legend, as the couple welcomed him in August! Although the Masters win will likely boost his position in the Official World Golf Rankings, where he sat third before the tournament, Jon recently said he’s not focused on rankings. “If I don’t get to No. 1 at this point, I don’t really care,” Jon admitted after winning the American Express tournament in January, according to Sky Sports . “I’ve won five out of my last nine starts. I don’t need a ranking to tell me — to validate anything, right? I’m having the best season of my life and hopefully I can keep it going.” Back in 2019, Jon spoke to Golf Digest about his romance with Kelley, which began at Arizona State. Both student athletes, they struck up a conversation which eventually led to an engagement in 2018. And Jon had a chance to show off his artistic side by designing the engagement ring! The couple would then exchange vows in Spain on December 13, 2019. Jon Rahm kisses wife Kelley Cahill with their sons Kepa and Eneko in tow.

The coronation plans were dominated by King Charles's desire to have a huge clowning party, and whether or not the Sussexes would be there. Recent news has revealed a new storyline: The coronation will include the queen consort's title, her children and grandchildren from her first marriage and the significance of her title. Camilla is the mother of Laura Parker Bowles and Tom Parker Bowles. She also has two teenage grandsons. Camilla hopes her granddaughters will act like members of the aristocracy during the coronation ceremony and wear a special Chubbly canopy. Camilla wants her grandchildren and children to have important roles in the coronation ceremony. Charles and Camilla both make a big deal about how the Sussexes are going to be punished or excluded. The royal rota is now in place and they are focusing on the task at hand, which is to highlight the family of the homewrecker queen to the exclusion all others. The Telegraph's Camilla Tominey latest piece: Queen Side Chick. At times, Prince of Wales, Duke of Sussex, and their mother Diana, Princess Of Wales, have appeared like they are trying to adapt to their father's arrival with his second wife. Harry's autobiography Spare was harshly critical of the Queen consort. However, it did not change perceptions of tensions in the monarchy over Diana, who she famously called the "third person" during her marriage to Charles. Camilla gets equal billing The 75-year old divorcee will be given equal billing at the largest royal event in 70-years as she prepares for May 6th, when she will be crowned alongside King George VI. A new era in equality: The news that Camilla, the grandmother of five, will be attending the Westminster Abbey ceremony is a sign of a new era in equality. The King demanded that Camilla be treated on an equal footing with his. This is not only Charles III's devotion to Camilla, whom he calls the "love-of my life", but it also reflects a sense that the Royal family's "realness” back to the public. The Sussexes made the Windsors look'real'. Despite the fact that the popularity of the Duke and Duchess has declined in the UK since their first time washing family linen at Oprah Winfrey’s primetime laundry, people seem to be more comfortable with the Royals after "Megxit". Yes, William and Kate's reputations suffered a lot from tales of hormonal disputes and fights over dog bowls. Harry's memoirs have had an unintended effect: they made his closest and most dearest, as the Queen once said, "like all the great families" with their "share of eccentricities and impetuous and wayward children and of disagreements." Roles for Camilla’s grandchildren and Prince George: Prince George, nine years old, is being considered for a significant role as not only the King's oldest grandchild, but also second in line for the throne. According to one source, it sends a strong signal and is quite bold. This is yet another example of King and Queen Consort not being afraid to change things to reflect modern life. A blended family is an integral part of modern life. But what does this mean for the frosty royal relations between Harry and Meghan? The couple are expected to be invited to the bank holiday weekend celebrations. However, there is no word on whether they will attend. This move to include some grandchildren, but not others, is likely to cause a stir in Montecito. Harry felt already forced out by his late Queen and his father, who seemed to prefer public appearances with William or George over his immediate family. It is unknown what he will make of the Parker Bowles family being front and center. However, he is reported to be good friends with his step-siblings Tom (and Laura) who were both invited at the 2018 royal wedding. [From The Telegraph] Are you kidding...

Ryan Edwards Arrested for DUI (Again!) and Drug Possession (Again!) Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but… Ryan Edwards was arrested last week for driving under the influence and for possession of a controlled substance. According to initial reports, the former Teen Mom cast member was taken into custody for violating the terms of his recent probation after he was previously arrested for stalking his ex-wife, Mackenzie. But our friends at The Ashley’s Reality Roundup confirmed over the weekend that Edwards was actually booked on the pair of aforementioned serious charges. This is another Ryan Edwards mug shot. We’ve lost track how many it’s been now for him. “Ryan...

According to initial reports, the former Teen Mom cast member was taken into custody for violating the terms of his recent probation after he was previously arrested for stalking his ex-wife, Mackenzie. But our friends at The Ashley’s Reality Roundup confirmed over the weekend that Edwards was actually booked on the pair of aforementioned serious charges. This is another Ryan Edwards mug shot. We’ve lost track how many it’s been now for him. “Ryan was arrested at the Chattanooga State college,” a sources tells The Ashley, explaining in further detail: “His charge is listed on [the sheriff’s office] website as a violation of probation because, technically he did violate those terms. But that’s what he was picked up for on Friday.” Edwards, according to this same insider, is being held in the Hamilton County Jail and will remain there until, at the earliest, April 20. On that date, Ryan will be in court for a hearing. Ryan Edwards is in trouble with the law once again. (Photo via Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office) It’s been quite an eventful several months for Ryan Edwards. Back on February 9, Ryan he was served with an Order of Protection by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office after he sent threatening text messages to Mackenzie and accused of cheating. Edwards also posted scantily-clad photos of his spouse without her permission the wake of this alleged infidelity. “If you guys have never seen a spineless sh-t this is one,” Ryan wrote along with the topless images, adding: “They take your money sleep with anything that looks at them. But they must have a wife to [sic]. God what a joke. It’s sad really.” Just weeks later, Ryan was arrested AGAIN, this time for violating Mackenzie’s restraining order.(Photo via MTV) On March 1, Edwards was then arrested for stalking about her broke the terms of said order and contacted Mackenzie via text message. “My god I don’t haven’t to live my life without you! Sorry!” he wrote at the time. The father of three then reached out to her again in a text February 23, writing: “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry and I do miss you.” This arrest came days after MacKenzie filed for divorce and was granted temporary custody of the couple’s children, Jagger, five, and Stella, two, as reported by E! News. Ryan and Mackenzie in happier times. (Photo via Instagram) Mackenzie, meanwhile, told police in March that her estranged husband “punched holes in the walls and doors” and held her up by her “neck to the wall” during a fight the previous month. She also accused Edwards of throwing her “down in hallway and said if he could not have me no one could” and “opened [his] pocket knife” and put it to her “back like he was going to kill” her. This altercation reportedly took place in front of the couple’s kids. “I tried to leave, he smashed my phone, took my car keys,” Mackenzie said, adding that a co-worker contacted the authorities in the wake of the incident. Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer are headed for divorce court. (Photo via Instagram) As for what lies ahead? Edwards was given a sentence last month of 11 month and 29 days, which was suspended due to him agreeing to go to rehab and complete the probation terms. But now that he’s left rehab and broken these probation terms? Edwards is likely headed to prison for a VERY long time.

Rebel said that Meghan was not cool or "naturally hot" after she had spoken about Meghan. "My mum, being Australian, asked her all these somewhat rude questions such as "Where are your children?" and "Where are your children?"

Weekend Box Office Results: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Powers Up for Massive Opening Families waited for almost four months — 105 days, to be exact — after the opening of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish for the next big animated film to hit the marketplace. Apologies to The Amazing Maurice and anyone who took their kids to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, but the drought was clearly felt, and it was amplified by anticipation. Much more than the live-action version of the video game that dubiously celebrates its 30th anniversary next month, kids wanted to see “SMB” this weekend, and those initials are being entered into box office high scores all... Families waited for almost four months — 105 days, to be exact — after the opening of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish for the next big animated film to hit the marketplace. Apologies to The Amazing Maurice and anyone who took their kids to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, but the drought was clearly felt, and it was amplified by anticipation. Much more than the live-action version of the video game that dubiously celebrates its 30th anniversary next month, kids wanted to see “SMB” this weekend, and those initials are being entered into box office high scores all over the place. King of the Crop: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Powers Up for Massive Opening $204.6 million. That is how much The Super Mario Bros. Movie has made since Wednesday. That is the fourth-highest five-day total since the pandemic, behind only Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It is the 17th best five-day start in box office history and the second best for an animated film behind only Incredibles 2, which had $233.3 million and the second best April start ever behind Avengers: Infinity War. Just last summer, Universal and Illumination finally released Minions: The Rise of Gru after a two-year delay, and after 13 weeks in the top 10, it took another three before it could finally dethrone The Secret Life of Pets as the animation company’s top domestic grosser. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is going to achieve that in less than a month. It will also be the highest-grossing film of 2023 after just a week of release. (Photo by Universal Pictures) There is something amusing in how Universal was the first studio to act in the wake of the pandemic by making Trolls World Tour available for home streaming — an act they were widely criticized for by theater owners, particularly AMC CEO Adam Aron, who went so far as to ban Universal films from his theaters. That did not last long, and Universal has been absolutely dominating the family theatrical market ever since. The Croods: A New Age managed to gross $58.5 million from Thanksgiving 2020 on through a pre-vaccine pandemic. Skip over Spirit Untamed to The Boss Baby 2, which grossed $57.3 million the following summer while also streaming day-and-date on Peacock. Then $162+ million for Sing 2 over Christmas 2021 and nearly $100 million for The Bad Guys in April 2022. The Rise of Gru would follow with $900+ million worldwide, and then nearly another half billion globally for Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, which spent 13 weeks in the top 10 in the U.S. Now it is Super Mario Bros. turn, and it is already over $377 million worldwide. It took only four days for Universal’s latest release to domestically outgross both Disney’s Lightyear and Strange World combined. It took only five to outgross both their own Puss In Boots and Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ($190.8 million). The race for the top family film of the year may already be over. Looking forward, there is Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Elemental, and Wish, along with Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Paramount’s Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Warner Bros.’ Wonka, and ultimately Universal’s Trolls Band Together and their Christmas Illumination collaboration, Migration. Maybe this similar drought will help boost sales for many of them, but none of them will likely be able to boast of holding the No. 1 spot at the box office for its first four weeks, which is entirely possible for SMB (unless it falls enough for Evil Dead Rise to overtake it in two weeks.) But expect it to hold in the top 10 at least until the weekend of June 9. In the meantime, it is only looking at two other films (Batman v Superman and the final Harry Potter) that grossed $180 million in their first five days and failed to gross over $400 million.

Rick & Morty's Potential Jerry Plan Was Way Better Than What We Got Jerry is one of the main characters in Rick and Morty, and while he is a great character, a potential early change could have made him even better.

Jerry is one of the main characters in Rick and Morty, and while he is a great character, a potential early change could have made him even better. Jerry is one of the main characters throughout Rick and Morty , but the series' potential plan for him was way better than what audiences got. Jerry is one of Rick and Morty's funniest characters, with him being at the center of many of the show's most memorable jokes and moments. However, things were almost completely different, with the original version of Jerry being an incredibly exciting spin on the beloved Rick and Morty character. Rick and Morty follows the titular space-traveling duo as they go on all kinds of exciting interdimensional adventures, often with dark twists and turns. While most of Rick and Morty focuses on high-concept sci-fi, nearly every episode has a B-story focusing on the Smith family. Being Morty Smith's dad, Jerry is often featured heavily in these episodes. While he started out as a pretty one-note character, Jerry has evolved into a fully-realized member of Rick and Morty's cast. Stories, arcs, and even Jerry fan theories all center around the character, but things could have been very different. Bryan Cranston Auditioned To Be Jerry Currently, Chris Parnell voices Jerry Smith, having lent his voice to the character throughout all six seasons. However, he wasn't the only one eyeing the role, as Bryan Cranston also auditioned to play the Rick and Morty father. The actor made a name for himself in comedic sitcoms like Malcolm in the Middle and Seinfeld, meaning that a comedy wouldn't be too far off from his roots. While Cranston is now more well remembered for his dramatic role in Breaking Bad, he could have played a fantastic Jerry. While it is known that Bryan Cranston auditioned for Rick and Morty, it isn't known why he wasn't cast. Perhaps it was due to Cranston's busy schedule, or perhaps he just didn't fit the role. Rick and Morty contains several references to Breaking Bad, meaning that the creators are clearly a fan of Bryan Cranston's most famous work. Despite him not being cast, it is still fun to speculate about what Bryan Cranston's Jerry Smith would have been like - especially as it could have changed a whole lot about the show. How Bryan Cranston Would Have Changed Rick And Morty If Bryan Cranston had been cast as Jerry Smith, he would have seriously changed Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty is an incredibly meta show, with the members of the Smith family playing on common sitcom tropes. From this angle, Bryan Cranston would have worked better as Jerry, as he played an iconic tropey sitcom dad named Hal in Malcolm in the Middle. Bryan Cranston's Rick and Morty casting would have added another layer to the show, making the Jerry jokes even funnier. On top of that, having Bryan Cranston in Rick and Morty would have given the show a marketable star. While Rick and Morty frequently features big-name guest stars, most of the series' main cast is comprised of well-established voice actors. Bryan Cranston is a huge name, meaning that the series could've banked off of his presence in order to succeed. However, Rick and Morty still succeeded without Cranston, and that's in no small part due to Chris Parnell's fantastic performance as Jerry. That said, it is interesting to think of how different Jerry would have been if Rick and Morty turned out differently.

The Guardian looks into the secrecy surrounding the monarchy's "private" finances A British outlet, usually the Guardian, will occasionally attempt to report on the British monarchy's secretive finances. The details of the Sovereign Grant are published every year. However, the SG is not the only source of income for the Windsors. The Duchy of Cornwall is available to the monarch, while the Prince of Wales has access to its vast resources. Both duchies have billion-dollar real estate and investment portfolios. My personal belief is that Charles spent considerable time William-proofing Cornwall so that William wouldn't take the whole duchy and spend it like a drunken seaman. The Guardian has a new... A British outlet, usually the Guardian, will occasionally attempt to report on the British monarchy's secretive finances. The details of the Sovereign Grant are published every year. However, the SG is not the only source of income for the Windsors. The Duchy of Cornwall is available to the monarch, while the Prince of Wales has access to its vast resources. Both duchies have billion-dollar real estate and investment portfolios. My personal belief is that Charles spent considerable time William-proofing Cornwall so that William wouldn't take the whole duchy and spend it like a drunken seaman. The Guardian has a new series on the secret money situation of the royal family. You can find one of the pieces here. Here are some highlights: The money from the duchies: King Charles II and Queen Elizabeth II received payments of more than PS1bn each from two land- and property estates. This is the center of a centuries-old debate about whether the profits be given to the general public or to them. The duchies in Lancaster and Cornwall. The duchies are professional-run real estate empires that manage large swathes land, hotels, medieval castles and offices. They also own some of London's most luxurious real estate. They have large investment portfolios and pay no capital gains or corporation tax. The duchy accounts are held in state and parliamentary archives. They show how the queen and her son, the Duke of Cornwall, have benefited greatly from the huge rise in revenues from the duchies over her seven-decade reign. Their duchy income was PS41.8m last year. After adjusting for inflation, they have earned more than PS1.2bn from the estates. Profits: The Duchy of Lancaster's 18,481 hectares of land in rural areas, located primarily in the north of England, and the Midlands, automatically passes to the person sitting on the throne. The estate is worth PS652m. The Duchy of Cornwall covers 52,450 hectares. It is located mainly in the south-west of England. It is worth more that PS1bn. It has not kept up with the 2013 legislation that brought gender equality to royal succession. Its proceeds go only automatically to the male heirs to the throne. The claim of the Windsors to the duchies is based on archaic charters that date back to medieval times when the country was divided. Generations of MPs have questioned the arrangement since the birth of parliamentary democracy and demanded that duchy profits be paid to Treasury instead. Parliamentary debate often occurs with the accession to a new monarch. This has brought renewed scrutiny over their private and public wealth sources. The Windsors won't spend their own money. The royals claim their duchy income, which they call "private", is not available to the government. The sovereign grant is the annual payment that the royal family receives from government to pay its official expenses. This too has increased dramatically in recent years and costs taxpayers PS86m per year. Buckingham Palace declined comment to the Guardian's estimates for income from the duchies. It described them as "speculative". The Windsors claim that they spend their duchy money. The palace has stated for years that the majority of income from both duchies goes to the family's official duties and public works. The royals have not provided any detailed information about how the money is spent from their estates, calling them "private financial arrangements". Charles reported that between 49% and 51% of his duchy income was used to fund charitable and public functions in recent years. What the duchy money was actually spent on: Charles, Prince of Wales, spent a significant amount of his duchy income privately on secretaries and valets as well as gardeners, chefs, stable workers, and chefs. According to some reports,...
