To clarify, West Hollywood voted to ask Los Angeles and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove Donald Trump’s star. West Hollywood is it’s own city and doesn’t control any part of the walk of fame; also, they’re really more of a really big HOA than a city council.

Long story short, it’s because our parties are much looser organizations than yours, and our elections are based on state votes rather than nationally. Also, because if our elections were 3 1/2 years long, we would all kill ourselves.

I feel like health issues may be precisely why she’s doing a residency? It’s certainly easier to stay put and do the same show every other night (maybe only a few nights a week?) than a full-blown tour, and splitting the time between the pop shows and the piano shows probably helps a great deal too.

Also having just…

Hi Roseanne, welcome to Kinja!

Because it’s under their “Retired Products” section - not current.
 
I still watched the whole damn thing though - I’m a sucker for infomercials.

This actually just happened next to me on an Alaska flight this weekend. The flight attendant rebooked a husband and wife (and baby) into the seats next to me (one of which was empty up until that point), and then the girl sitting in the aisle got to move into a premium seat. I don’t really understand how exactly this…

Oh, I mean, the rageyness is why I thought it was so entertaining and fitting for TAY! But it probably couldn’t hurt to focus said rage a bit.

FWIW, I was also flabbergasted by Jason’s review of XC2, but at the same time, I appreciated his take because I know that his problems with the game were not mine, and I…

This is totally wasted in the comments section - you should flesh it out for a TAY article or something!  “A Tale of Two Open World Games” or something?

Dragon Quest has always struck me as a pretty inclusionary game overall. Just play it with the music volume slider down!

Also on Hollow Night - I’m currently about 12 hours in and I’m loving it, Nintendo-hardness and all. Though, I’m gonna have to try real hard to ignore Octopath. I have a terrible habit of never resuming games if I interrupt them.

I think that’s from Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, yeah?

First time I saw that sign, I completely lost my shit.  Truly a thing of beauty.

With beer aficionados, I agree that other styles are much trendier than IPAs. With the general population, they’re JUST coming around to the fact that IPAs aren’t just pinecone juice and that maybe they actually like them.

The tram would be going from Forest Lawn parking garage, which generally isn’t as bad as the streets around the main chunk of WB and Disney. That said, Barham is already pretty much a parking lot from 5:30 to 7:30 and this is my drive home, so...yeah, not really too terribly excited.

Perhaps a more apt comparison is “The Hills” - essentially, it’s based on real people and a real place, but the whole thing is more or less a scenario-driven situation. It’s far from a docuseries where the means of drama creation are more of the “animal in a cage” variety - this is telling the monkeys to throw poo at…

Without supporting or attacking your argument, I feel compelled to let you know that Bar Rescue is about as real as an episode of Game Of Thrones. So, like...I get what you’re saying, but that show is probably is not the best example, as much as I love to hate-watch it.

But Flip or Flop came first - albeit barely.

 I’d say a more apt comparison is Sister Hazel to Jars of Clay. Because at the end of the day, does anyone really go out of their way to watch either couple? Nah, they’re on the TV and now you’re mildly interested because the only other thing on is Ancient Aliens, and it’s…

It wasn’t mentioned above, or even in the Variety article, but Deadline has a lot more info, including that these would be shopped exclusively to on-demand platforms.

Part of the MTV Studios launch is releasing these shows exclusively on streaming, so no worries there. Although nowadays, the rights are taken care of beforehand and are always cleared for worldwide perpetual use.

So yeah, look forward to hearing terrible replacement songs in the Mars-only version of the show in 50…

Counterpoint, you don’t need facial control at all to be a great actress!

I’m going to have to check out this Schöfferhofer because wheat beer and prickly pear juice sounds incredible.

And to be fair, I do appreciate the purity of traditional German beer - I just think there’s room in the world for both order and chaos!
