'Home Improvement' alum Jonathan Taylor Thomas was arrested Monday night following an altercation with police.
Thomas was a passenger with a friend, who was pulled over. Upon being told to stay in the car while the officer handled the driver, Thomas exited the vehicle and refused to listen to the officer. The report also states that JTT was intoxicated himself. There are conflicting reports, but some are saying that Thomas kicked the officer when they tried to get him back into his car, which he was then placed under arrest himself.
Today, a South Carolina coroner has revealed that actress Hayden Panettiere died from accidental overdose involving fentanyl.
While noting no signs of trauma, the autopsy ruled the cause of her death was "toxic effects" of fentanyl, 4-ANPP, alprazolam, methocarbamol, and quetiapine.
Emergency responders arrived to Hayden's residence on August 16th, and issued advanced cardiac life support measures, but it was too late. Hayden was pronounced dead at the scene.
'RuPaul's Drag Race' has given us some iconic (and not so iconic) Rusicals since season 6, and I'm here to tell you all my faves!
This will include main season only and not All Stars, but for fun, here:
- Herstory of the World is BRILLIANT, Diva's Live is hilarious, Halftime Headliners is a lot of fun, but Trinity K. Bonet should have won, Joan is campy but forgettable, Rosemarie's Baby Shower is lowkey really good and Starbooty: The Rebooty was okay.
Now, back to what I came here to do!!
Check out my ranking of Rusicals from the show!
And make sure to let me know what you think!
1. Sound of Rusic - winner Plasma
I want to preface this by saying 1 and 2 were VERY close, but Sound of Rusic just squeaked by!!!
Everything about this works, and nobody was bad. From Plasma completely dominating in the lead role, to Sapphira crushing it as the best side character, this remains my #1 pick from across the seasons. The humor was there, the songs were catchy as hell, and the queens were all on point. Shoutout to Nymphia for making me laugh out loud, Q completely surprising me, and just the sheer fun this entire Rusical was.
2. Moulin Ru - winner Lady Camden
Coming in RIGHT behind Sound of Rusic is Moulin Ru.
Another grand slam for yours truly, with a franchise high performance from Lady Camden. As was with Sound of Rusic, Moulin Ru really shows off every single queen. Sure, it was easy to pick Bosco as the weakest link, but that doesn't take away from the sheer brilliance of this entire number. Adding the late, great Leslie Jordan was hilarious and producer Leland did a pretty damn good job as well. Leslie's line "I'm outta here" had me scream laughing the first time I watched it.
3. Bitch Perfect - winner Chi Chi Devayne
God, I miss Chi Chi so much.
This top 3 is proof that when a Rusical is done right, it can be the highlight of any season. Bitch Perfect was just ridiculous and I loved every second of it. Not to mention the drama building up to it. Everything comes together though. Chi Chi's upside down twerking, Cynthia's shoe flying off at the end, Derrick's Britney-esque hair flips, and the lyrics are just a few of the standouts. Loved this one!!
4. Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical - winner Gigi Goode
Was Jan robbed? You could make an argument that the winner could have been Gigi, Jan, Jaida or Crystal and I would probably agree with all of them. Once again, the season 12 Rusical was one of highlights of the season. The song choices were perfect, and each queen did a great job. I do think Jan should have won, but giving it to Gigi also gave us the face crack of the franchise.
HA!!!!
5. Wicked Wiz of Oz - winner Sam Star
I have to admit, this one caught me by surprise. Once again, like the Madonna one, there could have been a different winner for this and it would have been deserved. Jewels was hysterical as Glinda, Onya brought the house down with her Wiz moment, and I don't necessarily agree that Acacia was the worst. Sure, she could have spiced up that big number, but it wasn't bad!!
Also, shout out to winner Sam Star for that brilliant Cher take on the Wicked Witch.
6. WigLoose - winner Anetra
To this day, I don't believe anyone should have gone home from this. Putting Loosey in the bottom was diabolical and I'll never understand it.
The music was top notch, the humor was there, and everything just clicked right out the gate. I truly felt like Loosey could have won this, and how she ended up in the bottom blows my mind. Anyone else have any thoughts on it?
7. Glamazonian Airways - winner Ginger Minj
This was SO MUCH FUN and it's really held up over the years. Pathological liar Eventual All Stars 10 winner Ginger Minj stormed to victory in this Rusical, and it was really no surprise. Although Mrs. Kasha Davis makes a huge play for the win with her part though. Minus the Sasha Belle debacle and Katya's major flub (which honestly thankful for because we got that iconic Twist of Fate lip sync!), almost all of this lands (get it? landing the plane? Oh leave me alone).
8. Kardashian: The Rusical - winner Shea Coulee
Say it with me now:
NINA BONINA BROWN SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLAC CHYNA.
😂
Okay, now that that's out of the way.
Shea Coulee came into this with a mission to show she was a contender for the crown and she did just that. Nobody will ever forget what she does here. It's an insane, career making performance. Add to that Sasha's hilarious take on Lindsay Lohan, and the brilliance of Alexis Michelle as Kris Jenner, this is just a lot of fun.
Yes, even Cynthia's complete mess of a solo.
9. Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical - winner Kameron Michaels
Was this bad? No.
Was it good?
Also......not really.
Thankfully it was better than the other season 10 Rusical PharmaRu, but that's still not saying much. The references seemed rather weak, and for an icon like Cher, there was a lot of room for more.
10. Fannie: The Hard Knock Ball - winner Jane Don't
Again, maybe some of you will find this too low on my ranking, but it's just not memorable for me.
It's a lot of fun, but at times feels very messy. Myki, Jane and Darlene are the tops for me easily, but it's still off. The way it shifts along doesn't really work. But hey, maybe you guys liked it more than I did!!
11. Shade: The Rusical - winner Courtney Act
Being the very first Rusical, AND being done live, was a huge task for our season 6 queens, but thankfully we had some stellar vocalists.
Courtney and Adore both fought very hard for that win, and I kinda believe it could have been a double win. Unfortunately, while comparing it to all of what came after, it doesn't really stay in the mind.
12. PharmaRusical - winner The Vixen
Save for some funny moments (Mayhem had me laughing hard), another concept that just didn't land for me. The idea of it seemed fun (?) but execution was kinda silly. Eureka's big flub of the dialogue was a big yikes moments, and it was no surprise the comeback queen landed herself in the bottom with Kalorie.
Video was unavailable, but maybe that's for the best.
13. Social Media - winner Rose
Again, it was very clear Rose was going to win this and I don't think many would argue with that. The problem with this Rusical is that it's just not memorable. Nothing about it has stuck in anyone's mind. I felt they were grasping at a concept and it never landed.
14. Trump the Rusical - winner Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Let's look at the positives....
Uh.....
Okay I'm out. This is easily the worst of the bunch, and I really can't find anything positive to say about it.
This needed to happen a long time ago, but happy it's happening.
All 5 major networks (Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN) have agreed to stand in solidarity and boycott the White House press pool, after Trump banned Politico, CNN and MS Now.
This now means there will be no press coverage of Trump's visit to NYC today, ahead of the UN General Assembly later this week.
All of the networks released a joint statement:
NEW: Joint Statement from ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC:
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.”
Following the acclaimed success of his Oscar winning film 'Weapons', Zach Cregger is back with another, this time taking on the video game 'Resident Evil'.
The new film, directed by Cregger and starring Austin Abrams, shattered the franchise record at the box office this weekend!
The film brought in a whopping $60 million, marking way above expectations. Previously, the 2010 Milla Jovovich entry in the franchise reigned as the highest, opening to $26 million.
Did you go to see 'Resident Evil' this weekend? Do you have plans to go and see it?
Singer/composer Duncan Sheik, most well known for his 1996 smash hit 'Barely Breathing', as well as winning the Tony Award for Best Original Score for 'Spring Awakening' has died at age 56.
Duncan was briefly hospitalized on September 16th, and died today due to organ failure.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.
Keep in mind, all of this comes AFTER Macklemore announced he was donating the $1 million he made from the tour he was axed from.
And Ed has still said nothing, except for the previous statement.
New England Patriots/stadium owner Robert Kraft has said that Ed Sheeran called him and asked him to "commit to match a $2 million donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis".
Kraft is also claiming he made this decision before Macklemore announced his donation.
I call bullshit. I would also like to know SPECFICALLY what Kraft is donating towards, as Macklemore laid all of his out:
—PCRF (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund)
—Anera (American Near East Refugee Aid)
—HEAL Palestine (Health, Education, Aid and Leadership)
—MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians)
—Gaza Soup Kitchen
—UNRWA USA
Well, I dare any of you to watch this and not get emotional.
Last nights Emmy awards featured a devastating In Memoriam tribute to all of those stars we've lost this year, but one moment in particular had us more emotional.
'Home Alone' star Macaulay Culkin joined 'Schitt's Creek' stars Dan Levy and Annie Murphy to remember their TV mom Catherine O'Hara.
Check out the moment below:
this tribute to Catherine O'Hara at the Emmys was soooo sweet wow. and the camera cuts to Martin Short and Steve Martin crying...I'm not okay. her on-screen children Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy spoke so highly of her
It's been a long 6 years, but our beloved Canadian icon is BACK!!!
Celine Dion had to make the difficult decision to step out of the spotlight due to her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome. She hasn't performed a full concert since March of 2020.
Now however, the 58 year old singer has made a triumphant return, performing in Paris in a brand new residency.
'American Horror Story' is gearing up for its biggest season yet, and we have the official trailer here in all its glory!
Season 13 is reuniting Jessica Lange with Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and many more. They'll all be bringing back many of their iconic characters from the shows run.
