Add Elon Musk and Ken Jennings to the list of celebrities beefing on Twitter.
The Tesla CEO decided to strike back at the “Jeopardy!” champion after Jennings tweeted a joke suggesting that he hopes Musk gets arrested. It all started with a tweet Musk sent out on Monday about reopening the Tesla factory.

“Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me,” he wrote.
Jennings posted a screenshot of the tweet with the quip, “Can’t believe I’m actually agreeing with Elon Musk, but he is absolutely correct: please arrest Elon Musk.
Musk fired back at the trivia-wizard, calling him a “knucklehead.”
“All other car companies are allowed to manufacture *except* Tesla, you knucklehead. No wonder you got crushed by a computer the size of a pizza box,” he wrote back.
Musk is, of course, referring to the time Jennings’ was bested by the computer in “Jeopardy!’s” 2011 “Man vs. Machine” tournament, where he played against an IBM supercomputer named Watson.
But as of this past January, Jennings was crowned the greatest “Jeopardy!” player of all time after besting fellow champions James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter.
Maybe Musk and Jennings should play a round of trivia to squash the beef.

“The Price is Right” donated almost $100,000 to Planned Parenthood after raising money in a special episode featuring rupaul.
The CBS show’s “The Price is Right At Night” had RuPaul, host of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” join regular host Drew Carey to raise funds for Planned Parenthood in an episode that aired Monday. 
The longest-running game show vowed to match all of the price values of contestant winnings with a donation to the organization. Contestants ended up winning $97,266 worth of prizes, according to news reports.  
Planned Parenthood celebrated the reality show star’s appearance on “The Price is Right” and thanked him for raising money for the organization. 
“RuPaul ‘coming on down’ to play for Planned Parenthood on @PriceIsRight is what we NEED right now! Thank you @RuPaul,” Planned Parenthood tweeted on Monday.
CBS originally announced RuPaul would fundraise for Planned Parenthood as a guest host on “The Price is Right At Night” in an announcement released last week
Viewers were mixed in their reaction to Planned Parenthood being the charity of choice. Some slammed “The Price is Right” for allowing the organization to be chosen as a charity, while others applauded the decision.

In these desperate times, the virus asked the govenors of all 50 states and the enitre world to stay home. But staying home doesn't mean you're bored and want to watch TV. You entertain to a virtual neighborhood and invite those you haven't seen as if you were going out. The stay at home orders forced us all to play Animal Crossing and Jackbox, but trivia nights are what we were missing when everybody remained in the house. Now the feeling of game nights are being brought to you on the internet thanks to this new segment called:


The Quarantine Olympics!


We go to Los Angeles, CA.  and Lee Eck is a guy who's been behind the scenes for years at Fremantle. With TV shows and movies being shut down in this city for the time being, he decided to create a game show where everybody can play along. It's called.........







Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since the virus got hit, Lee has a question that has 2 possible answers to it. Everybody has 45 seconds (then 60) to make their guess before the clock hits 0. After 5 questions, whoever is ahead gets a wonderful prize pack (originally a $5 Starbucks card). Here's a highlight from the early days of the show.



My good friend Gordon Pepper writes the questions that you'll have your head scratching. Even Lee does the posts with wit and flair. Like this one.



Imagine if this lockdown happened 18 years ago. You would be stuck at home with a Nokia 3310 with 300 texts, 100 mins...

“SNL” brought out one final “At Home” episode this week, with NBC wrapping up season 45 with this episode. And this time Alec Baldwin made his first physical appearance, after phoning in to Weekend Update in April.
Trump had a very special purpose for showing up this week — he was there to deliver a virtual commencement speech to a group of high school seniors over Zoom, just like a bunch of other people including his Barack and Michelle Obama are doing. And, uh, it went about as well as could be expected.
“Congratulations to the class of COVID-19. Wow, what incredible energy and excitement I’m feeling right now. Now, my valet got the virus so I had to do my own makeup,” Baldwin-Trump said.
“I had to resort to a Liza Minnelli TikTok makeup tutorial. I’m so honored to be your valedicator, but today’s not about me. It’s about you. Although I should spend a little time on me first because I’ve been treated very poorly. Even worse than they treated Lincoln,” a reference to a thing Trump actually said.
“SNL” cast member Chris Redd then interjected: “I’m sorry wasn’t Lincoln assassinated?”
“I’m not taking questions, Bebop,” Trump replied. “I’m only telling you the truth. Lincoln would agree. He’s probably smiling up at me from hell right now.”
Then came “SNL” star Kenan Thompson, who said: “Hey, what is this, dude?”
“OK, let’s mute him. Let’s mute a lot of the jazz types. Great,” said Trump.”

NEW YORK - May 7, 2020 - NBC's sixth annual "Red Nose Day Special" will feature the biggest names across entertainment with a packed lineup of music, comedy and short documentary films that educate and engage viewers The two-hour telecast airs on Red Nose Day, Thursday, May 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT to raise awareness and critical funds for children who are living in poverty across the US and around the world.

In light of the health crisis and in an effort to help the public adhere to current health recommendations to avoid face-touching, Red Nose Day's iconic Red Noses will not be sold in Walgreens stores this year. Instead Red Nose Day and Walgreens teamed up to create this year's new digital Red Nose which offers an easy, fun way for the public to participate in the annual campaign, even while staying at home.
Supporters can go to NosesOn.com to donate and unlock their own digital Red Nose, and share their #NosesOn selfies on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram to show their support for children in need, and encourage others to donate. People can also support the cause by organizing virtual fundraising events with friends, co-workers or community members, and tuning in to donate and watch the star-studded night of programming.
Red Nose Day's mission is to end child poverty, one nose at a time - and with the outbreak of COVID-19, support for children in need has never been more critical. Funds raised through Red Nose Day address both the immediate and long-term needs of vulnerable children, helping to keep them safe, healthy and educated.
As previously announced, "Celebrity Escape Room" kicks off NBC's night of special programming at 8 p.m., with Ben Stiller bringing the phenomenon of escape rooms to television in spectacularly over-the-top style. Stiller and Jack Black serve as executive producers and star in the one-hour show featuring a cast of A-listers immersed in the hilariously high-energy, no-holds-barred escape.
Joining Stiller for the game-play are comedy stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and Adam Scott. Jack Black is host and the all-knowing "Game Master," who puts his celebrity friends to the test as they work together under intense pressure to beat the clock, unlocking a series of surprising puzzle rooms to ultimately engineer their great escape in this uproarious and heart-pounding adventure.
In addition to NBC and Walgreens, Mars Wrigley Confectionery and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have once again pledged their support for Red Nose Day 2020 as core partners of the campaign.
Red Nose Day was created by Oscar-nominated and Emmy Award-winning writer-director Richard Curtis ("Yesterday," "Love Actually," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Notting Hill").
To date Red Nose Day has raised $200 million and positively impacted more than 25 million children across all 50 states, Puerto Rico and some of the poorest communities around the world. Money raised supports programs that ensure children in need are safe, healthy and educated, with grantee partners, including Amref, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, charity: water, Children's Health Fund, City Year, Covenant House, Feeding America, The Global Fund, International Rescue Committee, Laureus Sport for Good, Ounce of Prevention, Save the Children and UnidosUS. For more information on how to get involved in Red Nose Day, please visit RedNoseDay.org.
