Actor Chad McQueen Passes - RIP

The movie The Karate Kid has seen a real resurgence in popularity thanks to the Cobra Kai show but we all loved the original The Karate Kid movie who grew up watching it over, and over, and will no doubt remember the actor Chad McQueen who played on of Johnny Lawrence best friends when he got his big break in 1984 when cast in the hit movie. While in the film “The Karate Kid” playing "Dutch" where not only did he really look the part. But also played him as vicious as there would be in the Cobra Kai crew on that movie.

The hilarious part was in real life he was a very humble and actually nice person and too boot a legacy name actor in that he was the son of screen Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, and now it's saddens me to report that he has died at age 63. 

Way too young if you ask me and with deepest condolences I write this because he was set to return in a Cobra Kai episode but didn't end up in it where he was going to reprise his role as "Dutch" ... Remember again in the movie he played one the adversary of Ralph Macchio’s lead character.

McQueen’s attorney, Arthur H. Barens, told The Associated Press that he died on Wednesday. The actor followed in his father’s footsteps, both on screen and on the motor racing circuit. His wife, Jeanie Galbraith, posted a tribute to him on Instagram with their son Chase and daughter Madison. The family announced his death “with a heavy heart,” adding: “His remarkable journey as a loving father to us, along with his unwavering commitment to our mother, truly exemplified a life filled with love and dedication. 

His passion for racing not only highlighted his exceptional talent, but also served as a way to honor his father’s legacy, a testament to the values instilled in him. He passed his passion, knowledge and dedication down to us and we will continue not only his legacy but our grandfathers as well.”

McQueen is also survived by his son from a former relationship, Steven R. McQueen an actor who appeared in “The Vampire Diaries.” Chad McQueen reprised his role in “The Karate Kid Part II” sequel in 1986, and appeared in several other films, and also produced two documentaries about his father: “I Am Steve McQueen” in 2014 and “Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans” the following year.

“I didn’t find acting fun anymore,” McQueen said in a 2005 interview with AP. “So, I decided to give racing a total commitment.” In a separate Instagram post, McQueen’s son Chase wrote: “Knowing you’re now reunited with the your (sic) Dad and Sister brings me some comfort. Until we ride again I love you.”

Also paying tribute to him online was Jon Hurwitz, one of the creators of “Cobra Kai,” the “Karate Kid” revival that has proven a hit for Netflix. He said he and his colleagues had met with McQueen to discuss a return to the series. Posting on X, Hurwitz described McQueen as a “Karate Kid legend,” adding: “Unfortunately, Chad was unable to join us when it came time to shoot. At the end of the day, it wasn’t meant to be. But Dutch will always be remembered as a badass’ badass in the Miyagiverse. He kicked ass.” 

He added: “The fandom mourns a Karate Kid legend today. I’m so grateful I had the honor of spending an afternoon with him. Sending much love and strength to his wonderful family. May Chad rest in peace.”

Kirstie Alley, Actress Dies at 71

Well this is sad news she was 71 and after decades of weight issues she's now passed on. Kirstie Alley, the Emmy-winning comic actress known for her turns on Cheers, Veronica’s Closet and the three Look Who’s Talking films, has died. Again she was 71.

Alley died after a battle with cancer “only recently discovered,” her children True and Lillie Parker announced Monday, describing their mom as “incredible, fierce and loving.” No other details were immediately available.  

“She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead,” they said in a statement. “As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother.”

They added that they were “grateful for the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Moffitt Cancer Center” in Tampa, Florida.

The bawdy Alley collected eight Emmy nominations during her career, the first five for playing bar manager Rebecca Howe on NBC’s Cheers after effectively taking over in 1987 for Shelley Long, who had quit the Boston-based series. She won in 1991 and worked on the show through its 1993 conclusion.

She then starred on NBC’s Veronica’s Closet as Veronica “Ronnie” Chase, the head of a lingerie company in New York City. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, the show aired for three seasons, from September 1997 to December 2000.

She played the accountant Mollie Jensen, a single mother who has a baby (whose thoughts were voiced by Bruce Willis), opposite John Travolta in the hit comedy Look Who’s Talking (1989), directed by Amy Heckerling, then returned for sequels in 1990 and 1993.

The green-eyed, husky-voiced Alley landed a second Emmy in 1994 for her turn as a woman who insists on caring for her autistic son alone in the telefilm David’s Mother, and she was nominated again in 1997 for her performance in the Mario Puzo miniseries The Last Don.

In 2005, she played a fictionalized version of herself on Showtime’s Fat Actress (she was a spokesperson for Jenny Craig and had weight issues during her life.)

More recently, she starred on TV Land’s Kirstie in 2013-14 as a Broadway diva and was on the 2016 Fox show Scream Queens.

“‘Ignorance is bliss’ applies to me,” she said in 2013. “I want to try things that I haven’t done. Anything that sounds exciting, I’m in.”

Alley was born on Jan. 12, 1951, in Wichita, Kansas. Her father, Robert, owned a lumber company, and her mother, Lillian, was a homemaker. (In 1981, a car accident involving a drunk driver killed her mom and left her dad seriously injured.)

As a kid, she “was either on the swings brooding, ‘Why do people blink? Where is God? Why am I here?’ — I was very esoteric, I guess — or funny-crazy-wild,” she said. “There wasn’t a lot of in-between. I’m still that way, I guess. Hot or cold. I’m always contemplating the universe.”

She graduated from Wichita Southeast High School in 1969, married her high school sweetheart, Bob Alley, in 1970 and spent two years at Kansas State University before coming to Los Angeles, where she appeared as a contestant on Match Game in 1979, winning about $6,000.

She played a Vulcan Starfleet officer in her first film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn (1982), was a regular on the ABC series Masquerade in 1983-84 and portrayed a Playboy Club-era Gloria Steinem in the 1985 telefilm A Bunny’s Tale.

She then worked on the acclaimed miniseries North and South, Books 1 and 2 in 1985 and ’86 and starred opposite Mark Harmon in Summer School (1987).

When Long departed, the Cheers producers decided to return to the show’s original concept, where Sam Malone (Ted Danson) works for a woman, director and series co-creator James Burrows recalled in a 2003 interview.

“We told Jeff Greenberg our casting director we wanted a beautiful, tough-looking woman. And swear to God, the first words out of his mouth was, ‘Kirstie Alley,'” he said.

Her Rebecca starts out managing the bar for the corporation that bought Cheers from Sam, and she has lots of failed relationships with rich guys before she marries a plumber.

In 2010, she was the subject of the A&E reality series Kirstie Alley’s Big Life. The show chronicled her battle with weight and the launch of her weight-loss company.

Alley’s film résumé also included Shoot to Kill (1988), Madhouse (1990), Sibling Rivalry (1990), John Carpenter’s Village of the Damned (1995), Woody Allen’s Deconstructing Harry (1997), For Richer or Poorer (1997) and Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999).

She competed twice on Dancing With the Stars and this year was on The Masked Singer as Baby Mammoth.

She wrote a memoir, The Art of Men (I Prefer Mine al Dente), published in 2012. She revealed that she fell in love with Patrick Swayze on North and South and with Travolta on the first Look Who’s Talking film even though she was married to her second husband, actor Parker Stevenson.

They were married from 1983 until their 1997 divorce and adopted True and Lillie. Survivors also include her grandson, Waylon.

In that 2013 interview, Alley said that “I would really like to win an Academy Award just to astonish myself. I don’t think I’ve ever played the role where I would say, ‘Oh, my God, you’re an amazing actress!’ That would prove that this wasn’t all just a joke.”

Rob Schneider: I’ve had it with the Democratic Party!

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider reacts to Tulsi Gabbard leaving the Democratic Party, discusses his experiences with cancel culture, and shares his upcoming movie ‘Daddy Daughter Trip.’ Also talks about his time out west living in San Francisco and why he also left the democrats.

This year is the year of the midterm elections and the purge from people who have been in the Democrats party seem to continue as Rob & Tulsi Gabbard aren’t the only longtime liberals who are leaving not just the stare of California but the party in general. Bill Maher recently said it also on the Joe Rogan podcast. The RED WAVE is real folks! November is just but days away…

At 99, weeks before 100th birthday Betty White has passed away.......... RIP

Well I can’t celebrate a birthday without having some bad news drop on my lap! As I was enjoying my 44th birthday I get the news that beloved actress, and one of the greatest golden gal of Hollywood Better White has passed on at age 99. This really is sad as I have loved her work for decades, and she’s always been so upbeat about life, and even in the late stages of her life anytime she spoke to the media, and or gave any sort of interview she always was such a bright and just soft spoken lovely lady.

This is so sad but the beloved actress was set to celebrate her centennial birthday 100 on January 17 White, who was born in 1922, would have turned 100 on January 17. A new coffee table book celebrating White’s life and career was recently published as she neared the century milestone.

The book by a veteran entertainment journalist details White’s journey in Hollywood, including hosting an early variety-talk show. Carol Burnett and Candice Bergen are among those interviewed for the book, written by Ray Richmond and titled “Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life.” Her witty style gave life to a roster of quirky characters over more than a half-century.

They included the oddball Rose Nylund in “The Golden Girls” and the outspoken caretaker on “Hot In Cleveland.” She also drew laughs in the 2009 comedy “The Proposal” and the horror spoof “Lake Placid.” White once said her character Sue Ann Nivens in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” could be “icky-sweet” but was “really a piranha type.” That role brought her two Emmys. A nationwide theatrical event of “Betty White: 100 Years Young — A Birthday Celebration,” was scheduled for Jan. 17, which would have been her 100th birthday.

The one-day-only movie event is set to highlight moments the actress had during her career with appearances by Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Robert Redford, and Morgan Freeman. It’s not clear whether those event plans have changed following White’s death.

Bob Odenkirk the star of “Better Call Saul” rushed to the hospital!

Hey this is horrible to have to post but Bob Odenkirk the star of “Better Call Saul” was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after collapsing on the set of the AMC show! This just got reported by Variety that has confirmed Odenkirk is currently in production on the sixth and last season of the hit show “Better Call Saul,” that in case you don’t know is a spin-off of the wildly popular series “Breaking Bad.” Odenkirk collapsed on Tuesday at the show’s set in New Mexico and crew members immediately called an ambulance.

Odenkirk is still receiving medical care, though the cause of the collapse has not been disclosed. Odenkirk, a comedy writer turned actor, and a great one at that is now 58, and on the show he plays con-man lawyer Saul Goodman in “Better Call Saul” and “Breaking Bad.” “Better Call Saul” a prequel to “Breaking Bad” we see the character’s transformation from the criminally-inclined Jimmy McGill to powerful criminal defense lawyer Saul.

Odenkirk’s work on “Better Call Saul” has gained him four Golden Globe nominations for best actor in a television series drama, and four Emmy nominations for outstanding lead actor in a drama series. He’s quoted after acting as a Jon Wick type bad ass in the movie “NOBODY” which is awesome by the way that “I was at the wonderful 87eleven gym, surrounded by the top stunt actors in the world training, including people like Keanu Reeves and Jason Statham and Halle Berry,” Odenkirk said. “I’m a comedy writer, who is gradually suffering making my way into this discipline. I was just feeling embarrassed at how bad I was when these pros are 25 feet away.”

Representatives for AMC, Sony Pictures Television and High Bridge Productions did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment. The 13-episode final season of “Better Call Saul” is expected to premiere in early 2022.

DUSTIN DIAMOND DEAD AT 44 From Stage 4 Lung Cancer... RIP

WOW I know how hard this is friends I lost my mother to this horrible illness also, and it’s never fun to watch a love one go through this stage in their lives, and lose them. My heart, and deepest condolences to the family of Dustin Diamond who passed away at the age of 44 from Stage 4 Lung Cancer.

He was best known as playing the goofy sidekick to Zack Morris on the tv hit comedy show from the 90s called “SAVED by the BELL.” On the show he played the goofy “Screetch” which was the nerd with a heart, and comedy relief of the show. Well one of the few which were as the show was a “Comedy show” afterall.

Sadly in his career he wasn’t able to really shake off the Screetch role, and got typecast in it, and was not able to really break out in anything else as he got older. Diamond became a reality show mainstay appearing in the fifth season of “Celebrity Fit Club,” “The Weakest Link” and “Celebrity Boxing 2.”

He went into stand up comedy where he did ok for a while but wasn’t very well liked by some in the industry as he was known by some for stealing jokes, and material from others.

Overall I can’t say that he’s alone in that as a lot of “Comedians” who do stand up steal jokes from each other but people got extra mad at him for it, and over the years people really did bully him a ton, and maybe this is was due to what gave him somewhat of a bad rep as he would often lash out at his “haters.” At one point just to pay the bills he turned to porn! He made a sex tape in 2006, but later told Oprah Winfrey he used a body double.

I can confirm that I’ve never seen those and never will. But I know it’s out there sadly.

Diamond’s camp announced the diagnosis just three weeks earlier. Diamond’s longtime representative Roger Paul called the illness a “brutal, relentless form of malignant cancer” via a statement shared with HuffPost.

“In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution,” Paul added. “Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.”

Reports the specific cancer was stage 4 lung cancer. Diamond rose to fame in 1989 as the lovably nerdy Screech when “Saved by the Bell” premiered on NBC as a Saturday morning sitcom.

He went on to play the character in various series spinoffs including  “Saved by the Bell: The College Years,” and “Saved by the Bell: The New Class,” but not the recent reboot on Peacock due to his bad health he wasn’t part of that new spinoff. He also was a house member in the 12th season of “Celebrity Big Brother,” according to The Associated Press.

But Diamond had his struggles in real life: He was sued several times for delinquent taxes and in foreclosure proceedings for missing mortgage payments. In 2015, Diamond was sentenced to serve four months in jail for his part in a Wisconsin barroom stabbing.

In his statement, Paul described Diamond as “a humorous and high-spirited individual whose greatest passion was to make others laugh. He was able to sense and feel other peoples’ emotions to such a length that he was able to feel them too a strength and a flaw, all in one.”

Diamond was survived by his father and his girlfriend, Tash Jules, according to his rep.

Rest in Peace little buddy…

Broadcasting legend Larry King has died aged 87

The king of talk tv the man himself Larry King has passed away folks, and as a 63-year broadcasting career that lasted not just 6 decades but which included 25 years as an interviewer on CNN’s Larry King Live. King was recently undergoing treatment for COVID-19 symptoms at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, where he passed away.

His cause of death has not been confirmed… But as you can picture they will probably say he died of the KungFlu. This would be possibly the biggest name to die from it if they do indeed say he passed from the virus.

Debra was only Messing around! Come on man!

Debra was only Messing around when she said she hopes “Trump is the most popular boyfriend in prison!” Debra Messing first on Monday defended then later apologized for speaking about Trumps popularity with male gay men in prison. I mean really? You know this is hilarious coming from someone who spent how many seasons on a show about a bunch of gay people, and her.

A sad pathetic little tag along. Well I guess life is playing out like her tv show! But the backlash has started but the “Will & Grace” so called star, and one of Hollywood’s most vocal Trump haters. Once again thinks we all care about what she has to say so she felt the desire to expressed her wish for the president to “live a long life in prison” in a tweet to her more than 677,000 followers last week.

She called Trump “a weak, scared, stupid, inept, negligent, vindictive, narcissistic, criminal” before writing she hoped he became “the most popular boyfriend to the all inmates.” WHOA! Tell us what you really think! LMAO! I mean my goodness these morons on the left can’t get enough shots in on the President who literally has never done a thing to her. He’s literally never done a thing to her! Imagin that? Being hated by people you never have harmed, and so much they vote for a guy who’s a possible rapist, pedophile, whos sold out to China, Russia, the Mob, and who’s son is not just a crack smoking pedophile rapist according to the evidance on the “laptop!” But she is voting for a man who’s a racist, and who’s VP thinks he raped a woman…

So Debra stop messing around, and pretending your woke. You’re not woke… You’re part of the matrix who’s been fooled by lies, and who don’t understand facts. Notice how now it’s coming out that Hunter Biden is sold out to China? Well hope you can cast your bullshit towards the Biden’s like you do on Trump who’s done nothing to deserve the hate.

Several social media users took to Twitter to blast the grotesque 52-year-old actress as “ignorant” and “homophobic” for the remark. The NBC sitcom Messing starred in, which ran on the network from 1998 to 2006 before being revived again in 2017 until this year, was considered groundbreaking for featuring a gay lead character.

In a Monday Twitter post, Messing responded to critics, calling herself a “LGBTQI ally.”

“Trump has perpetrated violence on hundreds of millions of people,” she wrote. “My hope is (and this is the first time in my life) that the tables are turned and he is the victim of perpetrators.”

Hours later in a separate tweet, she struck a more contrite tone, saying she “had wished the tables turned on” Trump but would now like to “apologize for the offensive way I did it.” It’s not the first time one of Messing’s anti-Trump tweets has raised eyebrows.

Last year, Trump said that NBC should fire her after she said the names of the commander in chief’s donors who attended a fundraiser should be publicly identified. She should be fired…

Deep down she loves Trump… She just can’t say it because the left would eat her alive. But reality is she loves Trump more then she loves her own self. 🙂@realDonaldTrump #MAGA2020 #Facts #DebraMessingLovesTrump pic.twitter.com/vV4D1ppySu

New Superman gets new suit, and fires problematic writer!

So the new Superman and Lois DC Show just recently began filming after a long production delay due to some re-writes, and other issues. However, one the show’s writers this leftist Liberal named Nadria Tucker, has revealed that she has been fired from the series. Comic Book Movie, Tucker threw some explosive allegations on her way to the unemployment office.

This light on IQ Liberal went on one of the worlds two favorite sources of fake news, and agenda politics platforms this one known as Twitter! On her “account”, Tucker posted that she clashed with the writers over racial and gender representation. But here is the deal lady, and follow along folks. This is going to be the replacement of the now canceled “Supergirl” show which will air it’s final season coming out 2021 after Six Seasons. That show was pretty good early on until it became too much about “Gender politics” and “racial agendas” and not enough “Good storytelling.”

The world has had nothing but these agendas pushed in our faces for the last few years now, and it’s become gross to say the least. Every show on the line up on the CW has gender, and other progressive liberal politics attached to them, and this has hurt the shows in the ratings as it did to Supergirl which has had horrible ratings as the storylines became more filled with those idiotic themes. It’s pretty clear, and insulting when even a character like Braniac is turned into some weird Binary Queer robot who dates a transgender male to female actor. I mean this is just something most fans don’t want to see, and so the show lost it’s audiance, and now is being canceled.

At its peak on The CW (where the show moved for Season 2), the show had an average viewership of over three million viewers. By Season 5, however, this had almost halved, with Season 5 episodes getting around 1.6 million viewers on average according to The Hollywood Reporter, who combine broadcast figures with viewers who watched the episode on demand within seven days of broadcast.

The end of Supergirl Season 5 was plagued with particular low ratings per ShowBuzzDaily, under 700,000 people were watching each episode live by the end of the season, down from 1.26 million at the start of the season.

This Superman show is sort of a clean start sort of from Supergirl, and this woman who is all uppity and mad doesn’t understand the fans! The WB/DC/CW also don’t fully understand the fans. This is why they have failed so much over, and over again. IF they keep listening, and hiring idiot writers like Tucker they will continue to fail.

Another sad thing is here that I suspect she’s lying, and she’s pulling out the “Race Card & Gender Card” to smear the WB/DC/CW on something that well has no merit. Like I said they have over done it with these sort of storys which fans don’t like, and perhaps this show they wanted a different course? But maybe not, and she’s just pulling out the “Race/Gender Card” because that’s the new thing the leftists do now. These democRAT woman pick one of those two or both if they can to justify why they lost they job. Maybe your writing just sucked? Ever think of that? I’m sure she didn’t.

Some personal news: Wednesday I got word that my contract on Superman and Lois won't be extended, my services no longer needed, my outline and draft subpar (obviously I disagree with that last bit lol). This, after months of me flagging #metoo jokes in dialogue 1/2

Anyway also check out below the new “Superman suit” that the actor Tyler Hoechlin will wear on the show.

Robert Englund Joins “Stranger Things 4”

Welcome to PRIME TIME Robert! Sorry I couldn’t help it! But I am just over joyed with this news report from “bloody-disgusting” that horror legend Robert Englund (aka Freddy Krueger) has signed on to Co-Star in the upcoming fourth season of “Stranger Things,” playing what sounds like a very interesting character that sounds like a nod or tribute to his most iconic role.

Englund will play the role of Victor Creel, a disturbed and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950’s. This sounds like a character that Englund could really knock out of the park! To see him be able to come out on this show is perfect since he became best known in the 80’s for playing Freddy, and this show is set in the 80’s let’s not forget this is a series that has often paid tribute to A Nightmare on Elm Street, it seems only right that Englund is now making his way into Hawkins.

What is known of Season 4 thus far is that Hopper is still alive, “imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human…and other.” “Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything….”

“Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more,” the Duffer Brothers had said back in February of this year. Personally I cannot wait to see this. Now with this, and True Terror With Robert Englund on tv it’s awesome to see the man still working at this stage and age of his life, and getting juicy roles which he should have been getting for decades. He’s one hell of underrated actor in my opinion. Also let’s member if it wasn’t for Robert himself we would have not ever seen Mark Hamill playing Luke in 77… So this man helped pay the way for most of our childhood! Star Wars, and Horror movie fans owe him a lot of love, and this is why I’m over joyed to see him welcomed on to one of the biggest shows on tv/streaming.

Check out what YouTube folks are saying about the news!

ALYSSA MILANO HAS A TWITTER MELTDOWN, RANTS ABOUT JOE ROGAN AND OTHER INSANITY

While for sure the orange menace known the left as Donald Trump has broken many a celebrity over the past 2 decades. Frankly, a been a highlight of his first term. But I’m not sure he has crushed the hopes and dreams of anyone more than Alyssa Milano. As someone who first discovered girls thanks to Tony Danza taking a job as a maid, you almost hate to see it (see ALYSSA MILANO IS UPSET CONSERVATIVES ARE ‘WEAPONIZING’ CANCEL CULTURE BECAUSE ONLY SHE IS ALLOWED TO DO THAT and ALYSSA MILANO GOES ON ‘SEX STRIKE’ TO PROTEST ANTI-ABORTION LAWS). The — I guess she’s still technically an “actress” — was feeling particularly “woe is me” and had a complete meltdown vented over what’s been ailing her to her adoring fans.

And don’t even get me started with how fucked our priorities are in this country. We’ve got secret armed police in full-on tactical gear but we don’t have enough PPE for our frontline healthcare workers?! I mean what in the actual fuck is wrong with us?

— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) July 30, 2020

Well, maybe that’s because Joe Rogan provides value and attracts guests from all walks of life, whom he engages with in conversations people want to hear. Meanwhile, Milano hasn’t provided value since Poison Ivy 2. Maybe it’s a political thing and she hates him because he lets people express different opinions. Or maybe it’s jealousy that Rogan is getting highAF and swimming in a vault full of Spotify money like he’s Scrooge McDuck while her Charmed residuals have dried up. Either way, envy isn’t a good look.

Neither is famous people from any walk of life complaining about how rough their lives are. Maybe she still has a few stans who are sympathizing with her. But the rest of us have real problems and don’t need to hear it.
