    British Royals

    I was talking to Mr Doodah about her last week. We both agreed she seems like the biggest bridezilla ever. Trying desperately to rate as much press as her sister. ETA I just read the article above. A $650,000 wedding. That is obscene. I'm sure the royal wedding cost more than that but it brought in a lot of tourist and tax dollars. This is just Pippa being a diva.

    This Land is Our Land

    It's been all over the local news here, but not sure the Turkish protest is getting much national coverage. Frankly right now I'm glued to the news. I wonder how Orrin Hatch is feeling tonight.

    Television 2017-2018

    Timeless is uncancelled. Timeless Is Saved! Time-Travel Series Joins Elite Club of Shows Renewed by the Network That Canceled It The Time Team was clearly behind this move. Hanh Nguyen The fans spoke, and at least one network listened. At first, it didnt seem like any of the new time-travel series were going to make it out of the 2016-2017 season alive. The CWs Frequency was dead, FOX made Making History history, ABCs Time After Time ran out of time, and NBCs Timeless also got the ax this past week. READ MORE: Renewed or Canceled? Find Out the Fate of Your Favorite TV Show on the Bubble But then, a broadcast miracle happened. On Saturday, NBC reversed course on history and decided to renew Timeless for a second season made up of 10 episodes that is expected to air in 2018. Timeless joins the coveted ranks of other shows that have also been resurrected by the very same network that killed it, including Unforgettable (CBS), Designing Women (CBS), Family Guy (FOX), Jericho (CBS), Breaking In (FOX), and 24 (FOX). The more common way a show has come back these days is if another network or streaming service steps in (such as how The Killing moved to Netflix and Friday Night Lights went to DirecTV) or the current age of revivals that has brought back shows like Prison Break and Gilmore Girls much later, if in slightly different forms. Timeless hasnt exactly been a ratings giant for NBC. The series premiered to 7.6 million viewers, but dropped steadily ever since. By the time of its Season 1 finale, the show had only averaged 4.6 million viewers over the course of its 16 episodes. READ MORE: How Timeless Is Creating New World Each Week, From the Alamo to Sinatras Las Vegas Clearly strong numbers wasnt the reason for bringing back Timeless. Did a butterfly get smushed? Did someone finally succeed in Hitler? Or perhaps James Franco found another time-traveling diner. Were not exactly sure, but The Hollywood Reporter cited a dedicated push from producers at Sony TV, even after the cancellation was announced. Kripke along with co-creator and co-showrunner Shawn Ryan are aiming to make Season 2 even more family-friendly, and the executives at Sony believe Timeless can become a long-running, family-friendly franchise. Sources stated the studio even offered a majority of profits to NBC in order to secure the renewal. When NBC initially pulled the plug on Timeless on Wednesday, the outcry from fans was swift and loud. But no one was more upset than Ghostbusters star and Saturday Night Live cast member Leslie Jones, who made her feelings known on Twitter. WTF?! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO KEEP A GOOD SHOW ON TV?! @NBCTimeless was an excellent show!!! Yall making a huge mistake!!! Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) May 11, 2017 Fortunately, a few days later, Timeless co-creator Eric Kripke was able to share the good news that it was coming back. The #TimeTeam went back 3 days, and changed history. @nbc picked us up for 10 episodes. Seriously. Airs next summer. #TimelessRenewed pic.twitter.com/SDkeShlByL Eric Kripke (@therealKripke) May 13, 2017 On Timeless, the Time Team, consisting of historian Lucy Preston (Abigail Spencer), Delta Force operative Wyatt Logan (Matt Lanter) and scientist Rufus Carlin (Malcolm Barrett) travel back in time to pursue a rogue NSA asset who steals a time machine with the intent to change American history. In addition to fixing his interference, they also deal with issues of race, gender and politics throughout the centuries. Stay on top of the latest TV news! Sign up for our TV email newsletter here.

    Election Year 2016

    Agree with the above. I sent emails to my reps within a half hour of hearing about the firing. All of my reps have been vocal and active (I mean, one of them ran for VP with Hillary, so he's on my side) but they are in the minority and have no leverage here. It will take people like (stop vomit reflux) McCain and Graham to step it up and push. i don't think there are enough masses to do it in the public. My Trump family members are digging in.

    My 16 year old just discovered the original show on Netflix. He and his buddies are binge watching it now.

    TV shows that you USED to watch

    Not me. I haven't watched it in many years. I feel like it was around when Christina left (or maybe even before that) that I stopped watching. Lexie was relatively new then and Arizona and Callie were a hot couple. I think Bailey was just getting divorced?

    Tori Spelling

    Bitchy of me I'm sure, but I'm a mom. Looking at the top picture in that article... not the kids fault. It clearly looks like they dressed themselves and groomed themselves. I picked my battles and sure my kids went to the grocery store wearing batman costumes and rain boots occasionally. But they are clearly at a premier where she's expecting paparazzi and they are more or less representing their product, which is in fact their family. She should have at least made the kids brush their hair and look like they bathed recently. Grocery store run vs red carpet appearance. That's a battle I probably would have picked if I pimped out my family for a living.

    Tori Spelling

    I always thought she was having kids to keep him around, but that article makes it sound like she's having them for ratings. Especially gross considering she supposedly had such a difficult and dangerous pregnancy at some point. They are gross.

    Divorce in 2017 - who'll do it, next

    This is just super sad for the kid. I hope (assuming it's all true) that she gets help and her son gets away from hr until she does. http://people.com/tv/jay-mohr-alleges-nikki-cox-battles-drug-mental-issues-files-sole-physical-custody-son/ Jay Mohr Alleges Wife Nikki Cox Battles Mental Health Issues & Files for Sole Physical Custody of Their Son, According to New Court Documents Natalie StoneMarch 22, 2017 at 10:44pm EDT Jay Mohr is alleging that his estranged wife Nikki Cox battles both drug and mental health issues and is requesting sole physical custody of their son, according to new court documents obtained by PEOPLE. In the documents filed March 10, Mohr, 46, is requesting sole physical custody of their five-year-old son, Meredith Daniel Cox Mohr, and joint legal custody, with Cox receiving “reasonable visitation with Meredith, which shall be professionally monitored.” The new filing comes three months after Mohr filed for divorce from Cox for the second time on Dec. 13 and initially requested joint legal and physical custody of their son. Since filing divorce docs in December, Mohr claims that he and Cox “have continued to reside in the same residence” with their son, but alleges that their “living situation has become extremely confusing and untenable; and, our son is suffering.” “Based upon the the increasing hostility in our home, Nikki’s ongoing refusal to attend her mental health issues … her abuse of drugs, and her failure to respect boundaries, I had no choice but to obtain alternate housing for me and our son,” the documents read. Mohr, who has been married to Cox for almost 10 years, claims that “Nikki’s mental health issues continue to go untreated. … she continues to demonstrate that she is incapable of caring for Meredith,” the docs read. He also alleges that she left ovens on while she and their son were at home asleep; backdoors were left open at night for their dogs to go in and out; and administered a double dose of their son’s medication, which caused him to vomit in the middle of the night. The actor initially filed for divorce from Cox in July 2016, but called off the divorce just six days after filing the documents. “I initially filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage on July 19, 2016 and sought ex parte custody orders based upon my concerns regarding Meredith’s safety and Nikki’s mental health. My concerns included, but were not limited to, the following facts: Nikki abused drugs, she rarely left her locked bedroom (there were times when Nikki would go 2 full days without seeing Meredith even though we were all in the same house); She was an insomniac who would stay awake for days at a time; she threatened to take her own life on at least two (2) occasions; and she is unable to drive (she never obtained her driver’s license),” the documents read. According to Mohr, the court denied his ex parte requests and he and his wife “attempted to address the concerns set forth” in the July 19, 2016 declaration. “Prior to this dissolution proceeding, Nikki was absent from Meredith’s life. To this day, she has never spent twenty-four hours alone with Meredith and has relegated most of Meredith’s care to me and Meredith’s nanny,” the docs read. “To her credit, since July 2016, Nicki has been less absent from Meredith’s life. However, as set forth in further detail below, Nikki’s sudden presence in Meredith’s life has caused confusion, resulting in Meredith exhibiting signs of regression, both at home and in school (he is starting to have bathroom accidents throughout the day) … His behavior is deteriorating both at school and with his therapists.” FROM COINAGE: The Top 5 Most Expensive Movies of All Time According to the documents, he claims that Meredith “has been urinating and defecating in his pants” and “routinely yells and screams” at his mother. “Nikki’s poor parenting decisions affect Meredith’s well-being. Her refusal to discipline Meredith has made me the parent who enforces the rules in our house,” the docs read. “When I have checked on Meredith in the middle of the night, I have walked into the master bedroom to see Meredith and Nikki awake at 2:00 a.m, watching cartoons and eating candy.” The actor also alleges that his estranged wife “will often come to the guest bedroom in the middle of the night and attempt to seduce me” and recently told him that she believed she was expecting another child: “In January (2017), Nikki told me that she thought she was pregnant. I am azoospermic so this news meant either a miracle had happened, another man had impregnated Nikki, or she was lying. She assured me it was mine.” He also claims that on “2 separate occasions” during their almost decade-long marriage, she asked him to “drive her to the Universal Hilton so that she could commit suicide. She almost never sleeps. She has isolated herself and no one ever comes to the house to visit her.” “While I acknowledge that I still love Nikki, I also acknowledge that we can no longer be married to each other, and I cannot continue to raise our son in a toxic environment,” the docs read. Cox met Mohr in 2004 when he guest-starred on her NBC drama Las Vegas. The pair got engaged in February 2006 and wed that same year at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. Cox’s attorney did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

    British Royals

    Strangely, my mom was visiting (with my then tiny niece) me in DC from Pittsburgh. I took her to the British embassy to sign the condolence book and we waited in line for hours. My mom usually has no interest in celebs so it was weird how attached she was to this story.

    I guess now we know that Marisa Tomei thing really is just an urban legend. There clearly was a protocol.

    I also think the headline is intentionally misleading. In context, it just kind of sounds like - hey, let's acknowledge that the kind of childhood I had wasn't normal. I didn't really realize that until I had a kid of my own. I wouldn't want that for him.

    Brad and Angelina

    Oliver Hudson sounds like a guy who might fit right in here on Chit Chat. Please note my eye roll during the pregnancy portion of this article. http://www.inquisitr.com/3950386/brad-pitt-tosses-angelina-jolies-stuff-as-kate-hudson-rumors-gain-steam/ Brad Pitt Tosses Angelina Jolies Stuff As Kate Hudson Rumors Gain Steam February 4, 2017 Brad Pitt Tosses Angelina Jolies Stuff As Kate Hudson Rumors Gain Steam February 4, 2017 That didnt take long. Months after Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced their split, the actor was spotted clearing out his estranged wifes belongings from his California home. Is this a sign that he is ready to move on to another A-lister? Cinema Blend reports that Pitt and Kate Hudson are Hollywoods hottest item. Insiders claim that Pitt and Hudson have been growing closer over the past few weeks and are still meeting in secret. Of course, the two have not been photographed in public and neither of them have commented on their rumored romance. But that hasnt stopped the rumors from gaining steam. In fact, Inquisitr reports that Hudson is now expecting a child with the Allied star. These pregnancy rumors have not been verified, though Hudsons brother recently poked fun at her secret romance. Yeah and its been hell!! Hes messy as s**t! He drinks out of the f**king carton and leaves the door open when hes taking a dump!! And this is when hes at MY house!!! Oliver Hudson wrote on social media. Hes already calling me brother and has driven a wedge between myself and my real brother Wyatt who now wont speak to me. he insists my kids call him uncle B and lost my youngest at the Santa Monica pier for 2 days.. thank god for amber alert. Kate Hudson [image by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images] Pitt is partially to blame for all the outlandish rumors. The actor experienced similar reports after he divorced Jennifer Aniston and hooked up with Jolie in 2005. In fact, many are expecting him to emerge with a new girlfriend any day now, despite the fact that romance is probably the last thing on Pitts mind. Pitt is currently locked in a nasty custody battle with Jolie and only recently started repairing his public image. Until the custody issue is resolved, it isnt likely that Pitt will start a new romance if it might jeopardize his chances for joint custody. That being said, Pitt and Hudson have said nothing about their rumored romance. If they really wanted to squash the rumors they would have addressed them by now. Until then, well have to keep a close eye to see how this one develops. Brad Pitt received a standing ovation from Hollywoods best at the 2017 Golden Globes. [image by Paul Drinkwater/NBCUniversal via Getty Images] In the meantime, Yahoo is reporting that Brad Pitt is already purging his life of anything that reminds him of Jolie. The actor was spotted removing furniture as well as odds and ends from his house in Los Angeles in an effort to remove Jolies influence from his life. Brad doesnt need all of Angelinas stuff things like rugs from the Far East, weird ornaments and blankets and various pieces of furniture which they bought as a couple, a source explained. Hes downsizing on a lot of things that has accumulated over time. According to Enstarz, Jolie is starting to have second thoughts about the divorce. After the news of Pitts romance with Hudson and the reports of his house cleaning, the actress now regrets becoming a single parent. To complicate things further, Pitt has been looking better than ever in recent public appearances. While Jolie has kept to herself in recent months, Pitt made a surprise appearance at the Golden Globes, where he received a standing ovation from his Hollywood peers. #BradPitt And Kate Hudsons Secret Rendezvous Revealed! How The Reported Love Couple Hide Their Romance https://t.co/y0cgu4tDEc Perry Miller (@GossipnSpoilers) January 25, 2017 The actor was also seen at a charity concert last month. Pitt appeared happy to onlookers as he introduced several artists at the event. By all outside appearances, Pitt is using the divorce as an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. Whether or not this includes a romance with Hudson is yet to be seen. Neither Pitt nor Jolie have commented on the rumors surrounding their divorce. Tell us!

    Baby Boom

    That's some serious narcissism right there. Taking some pictures for your family is one thing, but dropping your baby bump album on the public like a gift is creepy to me. It's not a magazine shoot or anything is it? I just do not get the level of adoration people have for her.

    I don't think they do that at the Golden Globes, just the Oscars. That's why I think it was a big deal that they did something for Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

    Brad and Angelina

    I feel like this is wishful thinking on Kate Hudson's part, but who knows. Brad Pitt And Kate Hudson Dating, Attend Golden Globes Separately To Keep Romance Secret Effie OrfanidesJanuary 16, 2017 Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson are dating but are trying to keep their romance secret. According to Yahoo! Lifestyle, both Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson attended to 2017 Golden Globes but they didn’t arrive together nor did they chat during the show, making sure that they keep their new love quiet. However, it was at an afterparty that Kate Hudson couldn’t help but gush over her new man. Oh, that, and Kate supposedly left said afterparty in a car that looked suspiciously like the one that Brad was in. Coincidence? We think not. Kate Hudson Actress Kate Hudson [image by Randy Shropshire/Getty Images for GLSEN] “Despite not making an appearance together, the pair may have managed to squeeze in some private time, with the mag reporting that Kate, 37, was spotted having an ‘intimate’ conversation with Brad’s agent, Bryan Lourde, before being spirited away from the party in a car that had the exact same number plate as the one that Brad left the earlier ceremony in,” Yahoo! Lifestyle reported. Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson may not be super serious just yet, but it is believed that they’ve been hooking up for a couple of months now. Apparently, Kate Hudson told pals that she and Brad Pitt had “rendezvous” on “several occasions.” As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Brad Pitt has been laying low since his split from Angelina Jolie. “Pitt’s 2016 divorce from Angelina Jolie was shocking for the world, but it was all-encompassing for him and for his family. The rumors about child abuse and an alleged affair with actress Marion Cotillard littered the internet for weeks. It’s clear that Brad Pitt didn’t need any more attention, so he laid low for a while. In fact, when Brad Pitt showed up at the Golden Globes last week, his appearance was unannounced. While fans were thrilled to see him, it’s obvious that Brad Pitt didn’t want anyone to make a stink over his time at the mic. After presenting at the show, Pitt seemed to go right back into hiding.” Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson both live very busy lives. While they both have their careers, they also have families. Brad may be fighting Angelina Jolie to see their six kids — that in and of itself takes up a great deal of time — and Kate Hudson spends most of her day caring for her two sons, Ryder and Bingham. Kate also spends a lot of time with her mom, Goldie Hawn, and her brother, Oliver Hudson. Brad Pitt Brad Pitt [image by Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images For Paramount Pictures] It’s unknown if the couple has any plans of introducing their kids into their new relationship, but they are probably not even thinking that far ahead. Right now, it sounds like the two are getting to know each other and are just having fun. “Rendevous” suggest that the two are having secret meetings of sorts, as to not let the paparazzi find them out together. Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson seem like they’d get along. However, fans are split on how they feel about this new romance. Many feel that Kate is very quiet and drama free and dating someone like Brad Pitt is going to be a lot for her. Others feel like Kate is a great match for Brad Pitt and that the two will balance each other out in the best possible ways. Do you think that Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson make a cute couple? Do you think this relationship has staying power or is Kate just a rebound for Brad? Sound off in the comments below.

    Award Shows 2017

    So, do we think the cheering for Brad, not normal during the rest of the show, was to show support for Team Brad? As an aside, my two favorite movies this year were Sing Street and La La Land. I think light was what I needed this year. I hope it does get nominated for the oscar. Both movies were also movies I took my 12, now 13, year old and her best friend to see as well. Wide appeal.
