Joan Rivers Dies At Age 81

Published

on

Comedic  legend Joan Rivers has died. She was 81-years-old.

 

Rivers passed just before 1:30 yesterday afternoon at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.

She had been in the hospital for a week, after suffering cardiac and respiratory arrest during an outpatient surgery on her vocal chords last week.

Her daughter, Melissa Rivers, has been thinking of suing Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic, where her mother underwent surgery last Thursday. New York State Health Officials are now investigating. So far, the clinic has not made any comments regarding the investigation.

Funeral services for Rivers will be held on Sunday.

Melissa released a statement thanking the public for their constant support writing, “My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.”

Many celebrities took to Twitter to react to the news, grieve and remember the comedic, smart-mouthed, genius.

Sarah Silverman wrote,  “My heart is torn in half. She wasn’t done.”

Lena Dunham from Girls wrote, “Watching Joan Rivers do standup at age 81 was incredible: Athletic, jaw-dropping, terrifying, essential. It never stopped. Neither will she.”

Anna Kendrick brought a little sense of humor, referencing the many jabs River’s took at her outfits on E! Fashion Police. “RIP Joan Rivers. Being publicly told that my dress is hideous will never feel quite as awesome. You will be truly missed,” she wrote.

Rivers’ co-stars of Fashion Police, also shared some fond memories of River’s who Kelly Osbourne often referred to as Grandma Joan.

“It is almost impossible to describe how much I adored Joan and how much she has meant to me,” E! News host and FP co-host wrote. “She was not only the funniest woman I have ever met but was incredibly loving, honest, and lived her life with no regrets. Working with her for the last 13 years has been one of the true joys of my life. She could put a smile on your face, instantly, no matter how hard your day was. My heart goes out to Melissa and Cooper who have lost something that can never be replaced,” Giuliana continued. “Their bond was truly one-of-a-kind. They had the greatest mother and grandmother anyone could ever hope for. My life is so much fuller and happier because I got to share it with this beautiful person, a true genius. I woke up today unable to grasp what the world will be like without her and at the same time feel so privileged to have called her my friend.”

Giuliana has admitted that Joan was always there for her when she was struggling with infertility and than diagnosed with breast cancer.

It’s hard to believe that this icon is gone. The day before her procedure, she was doing stand-up comedy! And the week prior, she was reviewing MTV VMA and Emmy fashion with the FP gang, Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana and George Katsiopoulous.

I guess this is just a reminder that you never know what will happen in life and you should enjoy every minute of it.

Is ‘Alaska Daily’ Renewed for a Second Season?

Published

Alaska Daily Recap Season 1 Episode 5 I Have No Idea What You're Talking About, Eileen

Alaska Daily is one of the best and most refreshing shows coming out of this fall/winter TV cycle, with Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, a disgraced journalist who finds a new home in Alaska, bringing coverage to the often overlooked (purposefully ignored) stories of murderer indigenous women alongside her partner-in-crime, Roz Friendly played by Grace Dove. 

With the season finale scheduled to air on ABC on Thursday, March 30, marking the season’s 11th episode, many fans are wondering if the network will renew the series for Season 2 and allow audiences to follow Eileen’s adventures of pursuing truth and justice on a local scale. 

So far, there’s no word from ABC on whether or not a renewal is on the books, though a verdict is expected to come sometime after the Alaska Daily Season 1 finale airs. 

But while the series has amassed a loyal and dedicated following—with many of you reaching out to me and noting that you wish the show received more publicity and promotion from the network itself—there might not be enough love for ABC to justify a renewal.

The series hasn’t been able to build up the audience or gain the momentum it needs in its short primetime run, which honestly, is a shame because of the important storytelling and refreshing and diverse cast propelling meaningful conversations and calling for change and action.

As Deadline reports, the series has “sizable internal support but has not been able to break through in a meaningful way, making a Season 2 renewal unlikely.”

Still, I remain hopeful that ABC will consider a renewal as ratings, though down a bit from the series premiere, bring in about 2.7 million viewers weekly, according to TVSeriesFinale.

When a decision about the fate of the series does eventually come down, we’ll update this article accordingly!

When Is Season 3 of ‘Ginny and Georgia’ Coming Out?

When Will Season 3 of Ginny and Georgia Premiere

Ginny and Georgia centers on the heartwarming yet extremely complicated bond between a mother and her daughter after they put down roots in a New England town. 

With so many compelling storylines and incredible characters of all ages, it’s no wonder that the coming-of-age drama has become a fan favorite among Netflix audiences. 

The second season of Ginny and Georgia premiered on Jan. 5, 2023, which means that a third season is likely far off, especially considering Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, just announced her first pregnancy, which will possibly delay filming.

Of course, Netflix has to renew the series for a third season. As of March 28, 2023, it has not given the show a green light for additional episodes. 

Fans shouldn’t be too worried, however, as a renewal is very likely considering the show’s performance, the rabid fan base, and the fact that season 3 ended on such a cliffhanger—Netflix knows that fans will be clamoring for another season to see how the situation resolves itself. 

As for a premiere date, well, there isn’t one just yet. Until the series is renewed and production begins, it’s a bit too difficult to come up with a date for new episodes. The season could likely arrive in February 2024 if we’re looking at the previous premieres for both seasons 1 and 2, which both debuted at the start of 2021 and 2023, respectively.

But with Howey’s pregnancy thrown into the mix, that could delay things a bit, and it wouldn’t be the worst thing if the series returned during the summer when there’s a lull in content and fans are seeking out something to binge-watch and get invested in. 

Either way, when Netflix makes an official decision, you’ll be the first to know as we’ll update this article accordingly! 

Until then, you can gear up for the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Riverdale, and Firefly Lane
