And the comedian, per usual, has a point with his latest comments.
You've gotta feel for Chris Rock. The man is midway through what's (surely) an exhausting world tour—and the news cycle swirling around The Slap just won't stop. Want to know why? Because the man who whacked Rock at the Oscars, Will Smith, just... won't... stop. Bright and early on Friday morning, Smith posted a deeply weird, six-minute-long apology to his YouTube channel. "I was fogged out by that point, Smith said about the incident. "It's all fuzzy. I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you." Well, that night, Rock performed in Atlanta's Fox Theatre, where he didn't directly respond to the latest Willism—but he certainly seemed to have something to say about it. |

It's a quarter after 9 a.m., and already Tinx is being showered with more love and adulation than most people can expect to enjoy in a lifetime. The 31-year-old influencer sits in a recording booth at SiriusXM's Hollywood office, wearing a pair of oversized black sunglasses—she's a little hungover from the night before—fielding questions from women from all over the country. They come to Tinx for advice on all kinds of topics: moving across the country for a boyfriend ("I love when people advocate for their own happiness," Tinx says), navigating a friend breakup ("They can be just as hard as romantic breakups"), and what to serve for a 4th of July party. (Hot dogs, because they're "cute" and "a good vehicle for sauce" and watermelon because it adds a splash of color. "Buy it pre-cut and put it in a bowl. No one will know the difference.") Whatever their issue, each and every one of them professes her admiration for Tinx. |

Cooper's Bar, a new sort of series from AMC, (well, kinda but more on that later), is a sitcom set in a bar and therefore very enticing. Sitcoms, like bars, work best when little happens. Bars, like sitcoms, are steady state affairs with stable casts and a comforting patter of good friends jawing. They are much needed oases of calm because, let's face it, everything happens so much. Sometimes you need a little less. On a more personal level, having burned through Barry, binged on Stranger Things and exhausted Better Call Saul—all shows in which many things happen—I was thirsty just to watch something with a lot of nothing in it. Cooper's Bar has that. Plus it is prestige television adjacent. The show stars and was co-created by Better Call Saul's Rhea Seehorn for whom I, along with half of America, feel an intense quasi-Oedipal longing. |
