An average of 10 million tourists and fans visit a 15-block stretch of Hollywood Boulevard every year to visit the Walk of Fame and The Hollywood Museum - Today, it is anything but business as usual for the popular sites, who have turned toward social media and the internet to bring Hollywood to the fans at this time in the hopes rejuvenating tourism.

During the recent health crisis, people haven't been able to get out to see the Hollywood Museum or other historic or popular destinations, so they are bringing the museum to the people through "The Hollywood Museum Squares," with the help of forty plus celebrities, including Loni AndersonRich LittleGilbert GottfriedLindsay WagnerDee WallaceJeremy Miller, Robert Hays, Ruta LeeLoretta SwitJerry Mathers, etc (full list below) and along with hosts Tom BergeronJohn DavidsonMarc Summers, Pat Finn, Bruce Vilanch and special intros by Peter Marshall.




Zooey Deschanel is dating one of HGTV’s famous Property Brothers. But, ah, which one is it? Jimmy Kimmel was determined to get to the bottom of the (not-real) mystery last night.

“Which Property Brother are you with?” Kimmel asked his first guest on Wednesday, who was there (virtually) to plug her new ABC show, “Celebrity Dating Game.”

“I mean, does it matter?” she responded. We found that to be a fair counterpoint, but it didn’t satisfy the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host.

“Well, I mean, yeah. Technically, they’re different people, right?” he asked. “Is Jonathan or Drew your person?”

“Is there an Ian?” she said.

There is not. (Though there is a JD.)

“OK, you know what? Look, we were introduced really quickly. You know? They were both there at the same time,” she explained. “And it was fast and I wasn’t really paying attention, you know? But now it’s kind of like too late to ask.”

Kimmel helped Deschanel get down to the bottom of it with a pretty impressive investigative chart. OK, so maybe it wasn’t all that impressive when you consider that Kevin Jonas somehow snuck his way onto the poster board.

“I know he owns jeans and he has brown hair and he likes food,” she offered. That wasn’t particularly helpful, and neither was Siri.

Fortunately, dude was right there. Turns out, it was Jonathan. Case closed.



Can this be True?


Jeopardy attracts the best and the brightest, but one contestant seems to be both a braniac and a bit of a clairvoyant. After she secured her third win on the game show, competitor Katie Sekelsky, a graphic designer from Kent, Ohio, revealed she envisioned the exact dollar amount she would win before her first-ever Jeopardy taping, Yahoo Entertainment reports.

Sekelsky shared the uncanny prediction on Twitter last night, posting a photo of a sketch she drew before competing on her first show that featured the very same numbers on her podium as the dollar amount she won during her third day. “The night before my first @Jeopardy taping, I was alone in the hotel, trying to calm down and ‘visualizing’ a win. I sketched myself at a podium, with a winning-type dollar amount,” she wrote. “And that winning-type dollar amount was $19,201. This is real.”

And if you think her prediction is too spot-on to be true, Sekelsky is one step ahead of you. The competitor came ready with receipts, sharing the names of friends she sent the sketch to before she taped the show.

“This was not on my mind at all while wagering,” she wrote. “I was just betting what I needed to in case Erin bet everything and got it right. And the drawing was sent to @muffymarracco @lynnqyu and @AriannaHaut before taping. THERE ARE RECEIPTS.”

Sekelsky’s drawing quickly blew up on Twitter, where fans praised her “amazing” prediction. “Wow!!! This is kind of spooky…..I wonder what else you can manifest?” one wrote. Another suggested, “Twlight Zone moment?” While one fan dubbed Sekelsky a “visionary.”

Despite Sekelsky’s luck earlier this week, her winning streak came to an end on last night’s show. The graphic designer was stumped by the Final Jeopardy clue about movie characters, which challenged competitors to come up with the answer to “A character who was going to be called Lunar Larry became him, inspired by the name of a real person.”

Sekelsky incorrectly answered “Osmosis Jones,” but the correct response was “Buzz Lightyear,” bringing an end to her three-day victory.

And I predict another winner of a certain award with these qualifications:


must have a length of at least one year, can be of any variety or stick to a common game, viewership numbers on average and the most important category of all: the ability to play Jackbox games on any days or a moment's notice. Yes, Livewire! is proud to award.....




The Twitchhead of the month award! This month's recipient:  Dora Day. Her screenname: Existence130. This marks the first time in history we focus on a musical act who can stream. She can play guitar, keyboards, violin and can sing too. But having a musical act with just covers of songs is just plain normal. Why not spice it up a bit? She uses abelton, looping stuff and a green screen to make it more weird. And cool too. She even does a live learn to make sure she breaks it all down. She cacn even improvise to make up the difference. She even has a brother who is a rapper. Oh and she used to play Jackbox every now & then with viewers over the music. Like.........






And also.....





Plus......





But she can also spit a few bars too.







To get weird, head over to: 




So Existence130, doing more loops than a roller coaster..................

You are the Twitchhead of the month for June of 2021. You get an imaginary plaque to hang on the wall, bragging rights and what else, Colbi King? 


Colbi: a box of Fruit Loops. When you're done making musical loops, follow your nose to the taste of Fruit Loops. Toucan Sam thanks you for it. Over to you loophole. 


Me: Thank you......loopy. We'll return next month with another somebody thrown in for a loop.

Backyard Boogie


LOS ANGELES (June 14, 2021) - "Backyard Bar Wars" is not your average build show. Based on the rising trend of DIY at-home bars, "Backyard Bar Wars" is a send-up of the classic home reno show combined with hilarious moments of comedian and host, Chris Distefano, roasting the builders in a way that only he can. The one thing that's not a joke are the bars themselves - viewers can expect jaw-dropping reveals that will leave everyone watching thirsty for a second round.

"Backyard Bar Wars" is executive produced by Stephanie Noonan Drachkovitch, David Hale and Dan Snook of 44 Blue Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company, for truTV. The showrunner is Reno Camozzi.


The New Comedy Competition Series Will Premiere Thursday, July 8, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on truTV


Roll Over, Play Zonk!


Introducing THE #KingDice. He's the gamest in the land. And if you didn't know, he's the devil's right hand man. Now some might say his methods are shady, but he's voiced by the one and only Wayne Brady! Tired of the same ole flimflam?

Get more exclusive #GeekedWeek sneak peeks and interviews with the show creators @netflixgeeked.

The video game that smashed onto the scene with a gorgeous retro animation style comes to life in The Cuphead Show! This character driven comedy follows the misadventures of impulsive #Cuphead and his cautious but easily-swayed brother #Mugman. Whether it's angry mermaids, boxing frogs or the Devil himself, the brothers often find themselves in hot water in their surreal home of Inkwell Isle.



We have not actually heard from our Pixie-haired Pyramid princess Charissa Memrick because earlier in June, she posted this:


Due to recent events, I have the privilege to take an artistic sabbatical this summer.
My fiance and I will be temporarily living in Sacramento, California from June 20th to October 1st.
During my time in California, I will be focusing on online creation and the release of my original album coming this Fall.
My central goal during this time is to mobilize my online performance set up. I want to test just how efficiently I can set up, take down and move my self produced performance.
My teaching studio will once again be switched to all online learning to accommodate the move. All of my experiences during this time will be undoubtably luminous to singers who are looking to have dynamic careers or hobbyists who want the courage to pursue their goals.
My mind is abuzz and I feel empowered to create and share.


So this means she'll leave for the west coast until the kids go back to school this fall. But as you know, we'll all miss her on Twitch at her house for these moments in Texas.



Maybe she'll keep doing in California, but also this happened.......




She's asking you to raise funds for a musical she's in. But in the meantime while she gets ready for CA......Here's this: 






Closing Theme


#todayIlearned that if The Celebrity Dating Game went daytime as would have Zooey Deschanel host solo, would you watch it?

TIme to be like Batman and fly away. Or perhaps I might try to get the Batmobile back in the Batcave. Perhaps the bats might like this sound:
