So after last years messpeople have been wondering who is going to host the 2023 Oscars. Here is one thing I can tell you..it wont be Chris Rock. Chris told his audience on Sunday night in Phoenix that heturned down an offer to host the 2023Oscars. He said going back would be like returning to the scene of a crime. He brought up theO.J. Simpsontrial as an example. Hesaid itd be like askingNicole Brown Simpsonto go back to the restaurant that she left a pair of sunglasses at the night she was stabbed to death. Chris also said hes refused an offer to do a Super Bowl commercial. But didnt say for what company.

The full trailer forWeird: The Al Yankovic Storydropped yesterday, and it appears that the film slightly exaggerates Als climb to the top. It WILDLY exaggerates Weird Als climb to the top . . . because its actually a PARODY of rock music biopics. It includes scenes of Al . . . played byDaniel Radcliffe. . . bingeing on drugs and alcohol . . . and apparently having an affair withMadonna. Theres also a scene where Weird Al angrily puts out a cigarette on a guys palm. None of this stuff actually happened. THAT WE KNOW OF. Weird: The Al Yankovic Storydrops on the Roku Channel on November 4th.

Jennifer Lopez treated her new husband Ben Affleck to a special performance on their wedding day. The new bride debuted a new song for Ben following the ceremony. A video leaked and it showed Jennifer grabbing the mic as she serenaded him. Its not known what the title of the track is, but the lyrics prove she cant get enough of her hubby. However, she isnt too happy after learning that the private footage had been leaked to the public. Jennifer commented on a fan post that shared the clip on Instagram. This was taken without permission. Period. Whoever did it took advantage of our private moment.

D.J. is leaving Lanford.Michael Fishmanwill not return for Season 5 ofThe Conners. . . which premieres on ABC on September 21st. Fishman issued a statement saying what an honor its been to play D.J. onRoseanneandThe Conners. And he said, quote, I have a number of projects I am pitching as a writer, continue negotiating my next directing opportunities, and look forward showing my range as an actor. Michael has already directed several episodes ofThe Conners. He added, quote, While I was told I would not be returning for Season 5, Lanford was a valuable place to grow up, learn and develop. Even though that makes it sound like he was let go,Peopleclaims the door is open for him to return.

This actually sounds like something Ricky Gervais would make fun of other celebrities for . . . Ricky did some shows at a theater in London recently, in order to test out some new material for a tour. And patrons were banned from having ice in their drinks . . because the sound of it clinking distracts him.At one of the shows, he also roasted a guy who was having a snack at his seat. He asked him, quote, Didnt have your dinner? Then he told the crowd, quote, Hes having [an effing] picnic. Ricky also made headlines for beefing up security at the gigs. Which is understandable, given the recent onstage attacks of Dave Chappelle and Salman Rushdie.

Amy Schumerkicks off her standup tour on Friday, but shes not looking forward to leaving her three-year-old son at home. She said she always wants to cancel everything when she has to leave, and actually tries. In an interview she said, quote, Im anticipating how awful its going to be saying goodbye to him . . . When you hear them cry and reach for you, you just want to throw up . . .Im going to miss 65 nights of putting him to bed. I mean, what is that worth? Am I crazy for doing this? But then its, like, I have the opportunity to go and make [$10 million].

House of the Dragonjust premiered last Sunday, and HBO has already renewed it for a second season. Which isnt surprising . . . given what a SMASH the premiere was. Around 10 million viewers watched it when it first aired . . . and within a few days, that number grew to 20 million. There are at least seven other live-action and animatedGame of Thrones-related projects in development. The success ofHouse of the Dragon could speed up the progress on some or all of those.

A British couple got married over the weekend. And they just happened to hold their reception at a hotelKeanu Reeveswas staying at. Obviously they didnt know that, until James ran into Keanu at the bar. He invited Keanu to the reception, and he said MAYBE. An hour later, he DID show, even though he was tired from a long flight. Nikki said, quote, He was kind enough to do some pictures and our wedding photographer was able to capture some too! Then he took the time to speak to some of our guests and have more photos done!

Netflix is being sued for defamation over the miniseriesInventing Anna. The plaintiff isRachel Williams. . . a friend of con artistAnna Sorokin. She was played on the show byKatie Lowes, and shes not a fan of how she was portrayed. Rachel says that basically everything about her on the show is made up, and shes not the greedy, snobbish, disloyal, dishonest, cowardly, manipulative, and opportunistic person they made her out to be. Rachel says, quote, Netflix purposely used my real name, and real aspects of my life, to create a totally false and defamatory characterization of me. The truth matters and portraying real people requires real responsibility. I am filing this lawsuit to hold Netflix accountable for its deliberate recklessness. For the record, the show never tried to hide the fact that it took dramatic liberties. It even carried a disclaimer that said, This story is completely true. Except for the parts that are totally made up.

Speaking of Netflix it has canceled Resident Evil after only one season. Geek Culture says the streamer looked over the numbers and found that the show didnt have enough shelf-life for a second season. The show, based on the popular video game, debuted at no. 2 on Netflix with72.7 million hours viewed for its opening weekend but quickly dropped out of the top ten. Resident Evil has a 27% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

A random list of the 50 worst rappers of all time got attention over the weekend. His top five were Silkk The Shocker at number one, followed by Lil Yachty, Master P, OJ Da Juiceman, and Lil Flip. Diddy, Cardi B, Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, Birdman, Waka Flocka, Nick Cannon, French Montana, RZA, Eazy-E, Young Thug, and Gucci Mane were also on the list. The tweet said, 50 worst rappers of all time, no easy target. ALL opinions are welcome (LINK)

Reds lefty Ross Detwiler was a freshman at Wentzville Holt High when Albert Pujols made his major-league debut. Last night he threw an 0-2 fastball to Pujols in Cincinnati and BAM Pujols hit the 92.8 mph pitch toward right field and into the seats. That puts his total at 694 career home runs two shy of tying Alex Rodriguez, six away from becoming the fourth member of the 700 club and one ahead of Bonds for a big-league record. Bonds hit 762 against 449 pitchers. Pujols has hit his 694 verses 450 different pitchers. Heres what last nights homer sounded like

Tyler ONeillhit two home runs on a rainy night as the Cardinals moved a season-high 21 games over .500. He has homered in three of his last four games, including a go-ahead, three-run drive in Sunday nights 6-3 win over Atlanta. ONeill homered during a six-run second and again in a four-run sixth. Brendan Donovan (LINK)extended his career-high hitting streak to 11 games with a two-run single in the Cardinals second. Cards won last night 13-4 and go again tonight in Cincinnati with a start time here of 540pm.

Last night couldve been Serena Williams last professional tennis match, so her family, friends, and a lot of famous people came to watch at the U.S. Open. But she won. Listen to the cheers. It sounds like she just won the championship. (She plays again tomorrow. Her opponent didnt get applause even when she served an ace or won a game. It was Serenas crowd.)

Of Note: Serena had a custom outfit that includeddiamond-encrustedNikes. ESPN showed many of thecelebs in the stands (LINK). Anthony Anderson, Hugh Jackman, Queen Latifah, Matt Damon, Spike Lee, Lindsey Vonn, Mike Tyson, Katie Couric, Vera Wang, Gayle King, Bill Clinton, and more.

Lets talk football since we about to start kickin around the fast lane in this pick em challenge.

All 32 teams are bound to encounter injuries throughout a rigorous 17-game season, and the practice squad provides them with replacement options who are already familiar with the system.

Dont be surprised to see teams promote and sign practice squad players to their active rosters throughout the 2022 season, as they work to fend off injuries and illness.With that said,how much do you think the average guy on these squads is making, money wise?

Players with two or fewer accrued NFL seasons earn at least $11,500 per week, which equals $207,000 for 18 weeks spent on the practice squad. (A player accrues a season when they are on full-time pay status for at least six regular-season games). Players with two or more accrued seasons make a minimum of $15,400 per week and $277,200 for the whole season. For comparison, the minimum salary for a rookie on an active roster this season is $705,000. Practice squad players CAN be paid more than those minimum figures but their salaries do count against a teams salary cap. If a practice squad player is promoted to the active roster, he earns the prorated minimum salary for a player with his years of experience. So a rookie called up to the active roster ahead of a game would see his pay increased from $11,500 to over $39,000. A player with seven-plus years of experience would earn over $62K a week. If a practice squad player is signed to an active roster of another club, they receive a guarantee of three game checks (LINK)

The NFL increased the size of practice squads to a maximum of 16 players from what used to be 12 ahead of the 2020 season in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the change stuck.

So the players voted Brady the number 1 player in their poll with Mahomes being number 8. BUT ESPN has done their rankings and they were quite different. They say Mahomes is the King. Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen were placed second, third, fourth and fifth respectively on the ESPN rankings. Brady was 20th on their list. He was ranked 20th in 2021 as well and ended up finishing second in the MVP voting.

Sorry to kill all the fun, but Cleveland Browns player Martin Emerson, Jr. was NOT walking around with a bunch of weed during Saturdays preseason game as it turns out, it was a bag of sunflower seeds. Of course, some folks and/or trolls on Twitter tried to take a grainy picture of the Browns vs. Chicago Bears broadcast and play it off like Emerson was holding a bag of weed on the bench. The pic quickly made rounds on social media with users cracking their typical Browns jokes for retweets and favorites, and playing it off like the players were getting ready to toke. But, one intrepid account decided to find a much clearer image of the alleged weed and yeah, its definitely a bag of seeds. If you dont believe your eyes, our sources confirm its not marijuana and there were several players clearly chewing in the same clip that made its rounds online. The NFL has softened its stance on weed recently but sunflower seeds, however, are not banned.
