Netflix Cancels, Rob Kardashian is Still on TV, and Margot Robbie Assaults an Olympic Skater

It’s time to catch your Z’s – short takes on this week’s entertainment news!

Netflix has cancelled the series Bloodlines, the show about a bunch of rich people fighting about who should or shouldn’t get murdered and attempting to hide crimes they or people they knew committed.
Seriously, we need Netflix for this? This is what the presidential election is here for.

The Hollywood Reporter reported it first. It turns out moody lensing and great actors couldn’t overcome the predictability of episode after episode. But don’t worry, there’s still good stuff on Netflix, like seasons 1 and 2 of Orange is the New Black…which you can watch again by watching seasons 3 & 4 of Orange is the New Black.

@TheHollywoodGossip is testing the resolve of its Twitter followers with a tweet reading “Rob Kardashian apologizes to Blac Chyna in this clip from their awful reality show.”


A Tweet of Twats for the Twits


Do you click it, admit you MUST watch “awful” reality TV? 

Do you ignore it because it’s awful reality TV? 

Do you mute it because it’s from something called “The Hollywood Gossip”? 

Do you look up the words “blac” and “chyna,” wondering if you’re the one who’s been spelling them wrong all of this time? 

Or maybe you retweet, ask your followers, “Is it possible that there are humans not named Rob Kardashian who want to know what Rob Kardashian is doing at any given time of the day?” (Er, you might have to shorten that to fit in people’s brains.)



#MargotRobbie has signed a deal with WB to develop films for the studio. In the article, The Hollywood Reporter discusses Warner’s very forward-thinking promise to develop more female-driven feature films – a film arena long thought pointless by major studios – while in the same breath discussing the merits of Robbie’s film career which led her to this deal. 

Those rolls? Being the naked vamp in Wolf of Wall Street, playing an insane murderess in Suicide Squad, being the umpteenth Jane who’s “strong willed” and “modern” in the umpteenth take on Tarzan, and the grifter-under-wing, and hopeful love to the male lead, in Will Smith’s little-seen “Focus.” 

Hey, Hollywood, don’t ever tell me there aren’t any roles for women.
Robbie, I assume, will be developing projects with broad (no pun) appeal that also avoid all of these common film tropes. She’ll be starting with the timely story of skater-gone-bad Tonya Harding, the story of a woman whose life is an NBC Sunday night movie event. Literally

Robbie, a dead ringer for Harding in absolutely nobody’s eyes, is producing the film which tells the story of a girl, in a world, where gold means everything…and losing means…you’re nothing!
Yeah, put it on a poster and give me a call.

Entertainment News for 6/17/2016 - Time To Catch Your Zs!

Orange is the New Black, Rick Gervais, a Wicked announcement and more. Sit back and Catch Your Zs, because it's Z!TV -- the last thing you need to know.


Ricky Gervais has announced he’s officially run out of ideas as the new trailer for his The Office spin-off hits the web. Meanwhile, Netflix, in a $10M deal, has agreed to purchase and air Gervais' excrement (aka, the new David Brent series, alluded to above).

11 million excited Netflix fans have renewed their subscriptions based solely on the news of the availability of Gervais' waste. However, 7 million have contacted Netflix asking, "Didn't we already see Ricky's Hershey squirts under the name 'Special Correspondents'?"






The news that’s breaking the Internet the last couple of daysTaylor Swift was seen kissing Marvel’s Loki, Tom Hiddleston. And, more recently, taking off for parts unknown in Swift's private jet, according to TMZ.

Entertainment Tonight says Swift and Hiddleston "hit it off" and were getting "hot and heavy." Entertainment Weekly said the two were "cuddling up." I see it as: The canoodling couple was caught carrying on while copping a feel on scores of occasions with no care nor concern for Calvin. 

Calvin being Calvin Harris. Swift’s fairly recent ex who has tweeted -- about 46 times in the last 24 hours – details of a Rihanna video dropping today in which he did something or other (nobody's watching it for him). If you're wondering what Calvin Harris does for a living, don't sweat it. His parents are wondering the same thing.


In other news, Universal Studios has announced a deal to bring the hit musical Wicked to the big screen. No announcement on the cast, because we’re pretty sure Hollywood has determined original Broadway stars Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel too old and/or not "leading lady material." To which we say, fuck, Hollywood, seriously? Still with this tired, old argument

Our predictions: Pitch Perfect Co-Stars Anna Kendrick as The Wicked Witch and Rebel Wilson as The Good Witch. 

Alternatively: Jennifer Lawrence as The Wicked Witch and, very possibly, as The Good Witch, Jennifer Lawrence. ...I'm hanging my head in shame...(because I'm probably right).
 

Orange is the New Black Season 4 premieres today on Netflix. The Hollywood Reporter has printed a binge-watching guide for ideas on how to marathon-view this season. 

We'd like to offer the following tip for those who plan on catching up: 

Watch seasons 1 and 2 and then, in lieu of season 3, rewatch seasons 1 and 2...which is pretty much what the writers of season 3 did. Minus the American Pie dude. (No, really, the dude from American Pie is in this show about women in prison. Isn't that crazy? There he was, with his schvantz in an apple pie and, years later, he's in a drama about losing his GF to the prison system. Well, you know, until they wrote him out of the show, presumably to cut costs. With a pedigree like American Pie, American Pie 2, and American Reunion, you probably don't come cheap to Netflix. Just ask Ricky Gervais' poopy-doos.)




In legal news, Z!TV would like to formally apologize for the poop jokes. Sorry, mom. I won't do it again.
