MARCH 14, 2026
SOCIALITE LIFE: Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and François Arnaud are teaming up to bitch out the show’s way-over-the-top fans, at least the loons who are sending hate messages over a damn TV show:
“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist / homophobic / biphobic / misogynist / ageist / ableist / parasocial / bigoted comments of any kind
“None of us need your hateful ‘love.’
“We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side. If you can’t accept that gtofh”
Next up, Madonna and Lady Gaga should do one.

WLOS NEWS 13: Woo-hoo! Dolly Parton has finally made a public appearance at Dollywood, her first since announcing that health struggles were going to lead to a string of concert cancellations. She looks pretty good, no?
Dolly took the gossip “rags” to task for rumors she has remarried, is dating and is about to die in the wake of husband Carl Dean’s death:
“I have been not touring, as you know, I’ve had a few little health issues and we’re takin’ good care of them. I just kinda got wore down and wore out grievin’ over Carl and a lotta other little things goin’ on. I just got myself kind of, you know, just where I needed to build myself back up spiritually, emotionally and physically. But all’s good — it didn’t slow me down … Be ready for me — I ain’t done. I ain’t near done!”
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: Access Hollywood, hosted by right-winger Mario Lopez, is canceled after nearly 30 years and 30 seasons, 10 years after Billy Bush and Donald Trump discussed grabbing ‘em by the pussy.
That’s a very big show to go.
Also canceled: The Steve Wilkos Show and the odious Karamo, the latter of which always felt so messy and scandal-mongering. All were axed by NBCUniversal.
Even if the shows weren’t your faves, this represents a continuing sea change in the direction of daytime television. Sorry to hear it for all who lost their jobs. Except for Mario.

She was our Lauren Boebert for a spell. So glad she’s gone.
BAY AREA REPORTER: Eighties electronic-music maestro Thomas Dolby is on tour and talking about being the parent of queer kids. By the way, I think he’s pretty handsome at 67:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Meanwhile, Gwen Stefani is now a raging conservative Catholic. It really feels like she simply becomes whomever she is around? By the way, the personal miracle that led her to pledge herself to Jesus was … getting pregnant at 44, which has probably driven more women away, than to, Him.
VIBE: Wow — the estate of Quincy Jones has sold his entire catalogue, including his stake in all those Michael Jackson works. And yes, including the Sanford & Son theme, dummy.
