EVENING NIGHTCAP: Manny Jacinto GLORIOUSLY Shades Tom Cruise. Celeb Feud - Britney Vs. The Osbornes. RIP To Bob Newhart.

 

 

 

► In a chit-chat with GQ magazine, actor Manny Jacinto decided to throw caution to the wind by taking a "fuckitol" and throwing massive shade at Xenu's golden goose, Tom Cruise. Manny reflected on the reasons why all his scenes with dialogue were cut from Top Gun: Maverick.  Manny underwent months of rigorous training including professional flight school only to have his dialogue scenes end up in Xenu's wastebasket next to Tammy's toe nail clippings. Manny said:

"At the end of the day, Tom Cruise is writing stories for Tom Cruise,” he said. 

That statement is nuclear level of SHAAADE! Manny went on to say he was grateful for the experience. But it became clear to him that Asian actors and POC need to create their own opportunities since Hollywood has its thumb up its ass. Manny went on to suggest that the experience on Top Gun: Maverick has encouraged him to create his own projects because, "we can't wait for somebody else to do it for us. If (Asians and POC) want bigger stories out there, we have to make them for ourselves".  Manny's next film is the sequel to Freak Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis and LaLohan. Hey, a check is check...I'm not going to fault him for it. Read More

 Comment:  I applaud Manny for having the cojones (balls) to call out Tammy Cruise's ego. His quote about Tom was right on. I also tip my hat for calling out the Hollywood machine that, despite all it's lip service of wanting diversity, continues to function like a waspy country club. Manny better sleep with one eye open in case Xenu and his zombies show up to take him on a ride in the same spaceship they took Shelly Miscavgie

► Today's celeb feud is between Our Lady of Cheetos (Britney Spears) and the Prince of Darkness & his Succubus (Ozzy & Sharon Osborne). The argy-bargy began when Sharon & Ozzy expressed concerns over Britney's IG dancing videos. We've all seen them. Britney videos herself twirling like a june bug on a Red Bull binge, barely dressed, and looking disheveled like a hooker who uses cough syrup for mouthwash. Ozzy said that, "he's fed up with seeing poor Britney videos"; and Sharon chimed in by adding, "Poor little thing. It's heartbreaking".  Well, it didn't take long for Britney to dive into her dirty hamper, slap on her coochie cutters and warm up her dancing pole to go on a rant about their remarks. Britney's tirade included defending Kate Beckinsale (50) who also takes pride in sharing images that show her dressed like a Mini Mouse prostitot. Britney wrapped up her grits & gravy sermon by saying she wants to do a photoshoot with Kate; and adding, "The Osborne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to fuck off".  Read More

Comment:  I don't know whose side to take in this muck. I agree with Ozzy and Sharon that Britney's IG videos are troubling because they show her behaving erratically and out of her mind. On the other hand, I agree with Britney's statement that the Osborne's are the most boring family on the planet and that they need to f-off.  The verdict: No winners. They all suck oxygen out of a room. The public is tired of their drama and hooey. The end.

 

►  Bob Newhart (94) beloved and highly respected comedian and actor has passed away. The official statement said that Bob had been dealing with a series of short illnesses (no specifics were shared).  Bob's stoic humor and deadpan comedy was legendary.  He was born in Oak Park, IL. Bob graduated from Loyola University with a degree in business. Shortly after graduation, he was drafted to the US Army and served in the Korean War.  After the war, he worked a few different jobs and eventually landed a copywriter position with an ad agency. He and a co-worker would passed the time away by entertaining themselves with phone calls about goofy, nonsensical topics. They recorded the calls and sent them to radio stations in hopes they would be played. That's how he launched his entertainment career. Bob's big break came in 1961 when he was given his own variety show, The Bob Newhart Show. While the show only lasted one season, it served as the launching pad for the 1972 mega hit, The Bob Newhart Show. Yes, it used the same name. This new version was a sitcom in which he played psychologist Bob Hartley alongside the late Suzanne Pleshette as his wife. Over the years, Bob continued to act on TV and movies, do standup, and write. He racked up many accolades and awards including 3 Grammys, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a Peabody, and the Mark Twain Prize For American Humor.  Bob was married for 60 years to his sweetheart, Virginia "Ginnie". She passed away last year. Bob is survived by 4 kids and 10 grandchildren. Read More

Comment: Bob's deadpan comedy and his wit made him the Prince of Sitcoms. He could deliver the funniest, most absurd lines with a straight face that left people rolling in laughter. His delivery of humor was refreshing and groundbreaking. One of the things I liked about Bob's comedy is that he never resorted to using profanity, crass, willful insults or put downs. He was respectful and classy - never malicious. Bob was a gentleman who used humor to point out the ridiculousness and nonsense of everyday living and the goofy things we all do.  He will be remembered as a pioneer who showed the world that it's okay to laugh at yourself because after all, we're humans who do silly, stupid things. Thank you Bob for the laughs. Condolences to his family.
