Owens backed Scott Pelley too, saying Pelley was standing up for the show when he confronted new leadership and adding, “Scott can smell a fraud from a mile away.”

Scott Pelley isn’t softening the language after his firing from 60 Minutes. In a new interview with The New York Times, he said Paramount Skydance should remove Bari Weiss from the top of CBS News, arguing that “television’s not her thing” and that the network now needs “adult supervision.”

Pelley said Weiss’ leadership has brought “a political bias” he’d never seen in his 37 years at CBS News. He also pushed back on the idea that 60 Minutes needed outsiders to drag it into the digital age, pointing out that the show launched 60 Minutes Overtime back in 2010 and that he was already shooting verticals for TikTok on assignment.

Of course, CBS just removed Tanya Simon, Dragaan Mihailovich, Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega, and Pelley in the middle of a massive overhaul. Pelley says the remaining correspondents were trying to stay inside the building to protect the broadcast.

A local association said Hegseth “espouses values contrary to democracy, human rights and peace,” and one resident told BFM TV his “warlike views” don’t line up with the democratic values soldiers died defending on those beaches.

D-Day was about defeating fascism and freeing Europe. Hegseth used part of his Normandy visit to warn about a migrant “invasion” on Europe’s coastlines. The guy couldn't be more tone deaf.

After being fired from 60 Minutes, Pelley posted a photo from his sailboat and thanked supporters, writing, “You are the wind in my sails.”

Trump spent years attacking 60 Minutes, sued CBS for $10 billion, and CBS later settled for $16 million while Paramount was trying to get its sale over the finish line. Then Tanya Simon, Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega, and Draggan Mihailovich were pushed out, and staffers reportedly said the mood inside felt like a funeral. One of the most important news programs in TV history is being hollowed out in plain sight.

After the Prime Video series wrapped with a finale that killed off Homelander, Butcher, and apparently Terror too — rude — Kripke told TVLine he knows plenty of fans are unhappy. But he’s also not exactly running from it.

“I’m sorry if I disappointed you, but it was the story I wanted to tell,” he said, adding that his job was to get an emotional reaction, not necessarily make sure everyone got the exact one they ordered.

Kripke also pointed out that The Boys has “way north of 60 million viewers,” so the online storm may feel massive, but it’s still only a loud little slice of the Vought Cinematic Meltdown.

He says the finale’s major beats were decided early, including who lived, who died, and who got one last moment to be cool in the Oval Office showdown. So, love it or loathe it, this wasn’t some last-minute Compound V scramble.

Viewers called him “Commander-in-Sleep.” The White House denied it. Fox treated it like nothing to see here, even though this is the same crowd that built an entire political brand out of slow-motion clips of Biden blinking too long.

Trump spent years selling himself as the high-energy strongman and mocking Biden’s age, and now his own friendly network is carrying a briefing where the main takeaway is whether he stayed awake through it. If Biden did this, Fox would run it for 72 straight hours with a countdown clock.

Marlon Wayans revealed that Hart was originally supposed to play Cindy, the role that turned Anna Faris into the wide-eyed, shrieking, extremely committed center of the franchise. According to Wayans, it was Keenen Ivory Wayans who saw Faris’ audition and decided, no, that was their Cindy.

Faris apparently found this out in real time during an interview with Marlon and Shawn Wayans. Marlon joked that Faris “took Melissa Joan Hart’s job” and called it “white on white crime.”

As for the newest in the series, Scary Movie 6 just opened to a franchise-best $56 million.

Actor, writer, and director Ashley Rickards floated the idea of Colbert doing PBS specials built around comedy, politics, culture, and civic life, with pledge-drive events baked in. Her “Colbert could save PBS” post reportedly pulled more than 485,000 views across her profiles in 48 hours.

PBS hasn’t responded. Colbert’s team hasn’t either. But Colbert has never hidden his love for public media, and after CBS walked away from him, the idea of him landing on PBS would be a pretty incredible plot twist.

Would you watch it?

The untitled project takes the 1996 Jim Carrey/Matthew Broderick black comedy and drags it into the streaming age, where cable is basically a museum exhibit and algorithms are now doing most of the emotional damage. Johnson will play Chip Douglas, an old-school cable technician who’s feeling more than a little obsolete, while Wayans Jr. plays Steven Stephens, the guy who calls to have his cable turned back on and accidentally reconnects with a childhood friend who remembers him a little too much.

The show isn’t being pitched as a straight remake, more of a Fargo-style “inspired by” situation, which is good news for anyone who likes their nostalgia lightly rewired instead of fully rebooted. The pilot comes from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia writer Rob Rosell and Cobra Kai duo Joe Piarulli and Luan Thomas.

Lewis called it “one of the most anti-American songs ever” and said Springsteen “duped us all,” which is an insane way to describe a song that has been openly about Vietnam veterans, economic abandonment, and America failing the people it sends to war for 40 years.

Of course, Springsteen wasn’t tricking anyone. He was counting on people to actually listen. Getting mad at “Born in the U.S.A.” in 2026 is basically admitting you were absolutely never paying attention.

His evidence was, “All I have to do is look, and I listen.” Welker's line that ended the interview was only “That’s not evidence.” Trump called her “crooked,” said he’d “had enough,” and left the set.

That’s what it looks like when a journalist doesn’t just let the claim float by. A direct question, a demand for evidence, and a refusal to pretend vibes count as proof.

More of that, please.

Head, who played Rupert Giles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, died at 72 from complications due to pneumonia, according to his daughters. Hannigan shared an old photo of the two and wrote, “This cut is so deep I fear it can never heal,” before adding, “I love you so much and will miss you forever.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar replied, “He loved you so dearly, Aly.”

Decision Desk HQ called the second runoff spot for Nithya Raman, putting her against Karen Bass in November and leaving Spencer Pratt on the outside. Trump was already pushing the California “they’re cheating” line on Meet the Press, and when Kristen Welker asked for evidence, his answer was, “All I have to do is look, and I listen.”

That’s not proof. That’s the same script every time a race doesn’t go their way. California takes longer to count because of mail ballots and its counting process, not because a reality TV candidate lost ground in Los Angeles.

“Rigged” continues to mean “we lost” for Republicans.

Also, good ridance to Spencer Pratt.
