Kim Kardashian’s Island Getaway Sparks Anger

Kim Kardashian announced on Twitter that she celebrated her 40th birthday by bringing her friends and family to a private island, because she’s rich enough to have access to rapid testing and dumb enough to not understand how tone-deaf it is to rub everyone’s faces in it. Twitter was quick to react with lots of snarky memes.

-Speaking of covid testing, Stephen Amell announced on a podcast that he had to take three weeks off shooting his new Starz wrestling series after he recently tested positive. He talked a lot about how safe he’d been, but as someone who follows him and a bunch of his friends on social media, I wasn’t seeing that. He was having parties in the thick of it, he flew to Canada for weeks, and just yesterday he posted a pic with some new cast members that immediately made me think “there’s too many people in your house.”

-Orange Is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba will star in HBO’s In Treatment revival, which will begin shooting in the fall for a 2021 debut. I adored this show and I’m so glad it’s coming back.

-This is a big move for network TV and I hope it continues: CBS is cutting most of its dramas and comedies down to 16-18 episodes.

-Netflix has picked up worldwide rights to Concrete Cowboy, the Idris Elba drama that recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. I dug it.

-I wasn’t sure what to expect from Sarah Cooper‘s Netflix special, but the reviews are good.
