Report for Thursday, May 20th

I broke the story that there is a criminal investigation involving Marilyn Manson and sexual assault of an assistant. And that a former girlfriend has also claimed Manson assaulted her. Now the former girlfriend has filed a lawsuit and she reportedly has tapes of Manson bragging he rapped women and laughing about it. This is going to get ugly. 

TV Shock: Everybody’s talking about the Friends: The Reunion promo where Matthew Perry is slurring his words and seems confused. And that was after 10 takes when Matthew made even less sense and was more confused. Remember Matthew was photographed in his underwear, smoking a joint and going through garbage a few months ago in Chicago. … After each Olympics on NBC, checkout Ultimate Slip ’N Slide. It’s a reality show featuring a 65 foot tall slip and slide with games like Human bowling bombs, human cornhole and bounce and fall dodge ball. It sounds stupid but I hear it’s very entertaining. … Hulu hit a home run by landing Paul McCartney and Rick Rubin’s six part mini-series documentary. An in depth look at Paul McCartney’s personal and professional life. This is one of the best documentaries ever. Never before seen home movies. Debuts July 16th. … Newest reality show being pitched is a weekly hour long show featuring Mom and daughter Gwyneth Paltrow and her beautiful 17 year old daughter Apple. I think it could be good. … Also being pitched is another reality show called Brothers, featuring the Baldwin boys, Alec and Billy. But word is there’s very little interest. Gee what a shock. … Jennifer Hudson turned down $150,000 to appear in the Sex and the City reunion. … Speaking of money, Gunsmoke’s James Arness only made $1200 dollars an episode the first 10 years, $5,000 the next 5 years, $10,000 the next 2 years and $20,000 the last 3 years. In comparison, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco and Jim Parsons each made $1,250,000 per episode and Gunsmoke had higher ratings. 

Odds and Ends: Kylie Jenner just spent $125,000 dollars to paint her $71 million dollar jet a brighter pink. Hey, you can’t fly around in a faded pink jet.
