The Scoop for Oct. 18, 2018

Roseanne took to Twitter to let everyone know that she was less than pleased with how they killed her off of her show. Completely understandable. And the cast of The Conners get it. They understand that, quote:  “she’s hurting and in pain.” And while they understand… They’ve got bills to pay too, so yeah. They’re gonna keep working

Close your eyes and imagine Peter Dinklage in 50 Shades of Grey… in Dakota Johnson part. Ok that didn’t really happen, but Peter did help his friend Jamie Dornan rehearse and yes, Peter read Dakota’s part. And in his words he “nailed it.” To be clear, Peter explains he was just “helping a friend learnn his lines.” Riiiiiiight.

The cast from “Orange Is the New Black” had a little announcement. Season seven will be the last season. So, yeah, no more Orange is the New Black. You know what that means right? In three years, maybe sooner, they can reboot the series and do the whole thing again. So in the meantime, we can watch The Conners as it either takes off or crashes and burns.

As promised, here’s Dwayne The Rock Johnson singing…
