Your news......with sass. Presented by the new 2XL Robot movie. Smarter. But more evil. Coming soon to free ad supported services. Me: Hi everyone, good afternoon from the Pacific Bay area and TGIF! Hope you are well. And if you aren't well, well........
The future of the popular TV gameshow Would I Lie To You has been revealed. The BBC programme has been running for 16 series.
The long-running truth or lie Q&A game has been on air since 2007. And now its host Rob Brydon has confirmed that two new series can be expected over the next year or so, according to The Sun. The update will delight viewers.
The Welsh presenter and actor told the How to Wow podcast: “Are we having any more seasons of Would I Lie To You? Well, I'm awfully sorry to tell you this in front of a b**dy crowd, yes we are!
Jerry O'Connell just needs a pair of glasses, 'cause the guy's a real-life Clark Kent ... leaping into action when he saw a food truck going up in smoke!
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Sheriff's deputies came across the truck fire Sunday in Malibu, swiftly pulling a man out of the vehicle, and then started removing nearby propane tanks -- which is when Jerry got involved.
Jerry, who was in his car with his twin daughters, got out of his ride and we're told he immediately went to move a gas can near the food truck. Pretty heroic, when you consider another can was already on fire, and flames were spreading in a nearby field.
Jerry has experience battling blazes ... back in 2003, when a wildfire near the San Bernardino mountains threatened his home, he helped firefighters for several days, and eventually saved his pad.
While they couldn't save the food truck ... our sources say the "Stand By Me" actor and "Pictionary" host helped firefighters avert an even bigger disaster.
Production Begins This Month And Follows Three New Renowned Drag Queens
· HBO has renewed the Emmy(R), Peabody and GLAAD award-winning unscripted series WE'RE HERE for a fourth season. Created by Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren, the series concluded its six-episode third season on December 30, 2022 and will begin production on its fourth season later this month. The first three seasons are available to stream now on Max.
· Season four of WE'RE HERE will follow three new renowned drag queens, Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall, as they continue the goal of the series to spread love and connection through the art of drag across small-town America. This season will focus on two U.S. towns over the course of six episodes, taking an in-depth and more immersive look at the local political systems and participants, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and opposition, and their effect on the LGBTQ+ community.
· Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, Late Night & Specials Programming quote: "With the ongoing aggression towards the LGBTQ+ community, and the increased hostility directed at drag performers, it's more important than ever for another season of We're Here. Time and time again, the series has shown that love is stronger than hate, and we want to continue to uplift the community by showcasing these rich and important stories. We owe a huge thank you to Bob, Shangela and Eureka for sharing their personal stories and for their incredible contribution over the last three seasons. We're also excited to welcome our three new queens to the We're Here family and dive into our new season."
· Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren, co-creators and executive producers quote: "In this increasingly hostile political climate, we are grateful to HBO for their dedication to telling LGBTQ+ stories that meet the moment and document our history. We are thrilled to expand our drag family and give much needed love to the people on the front lines of hate."
· Bob the Drag Queen, D.J. "Shangela" Pierce and Eureka O'Hara quote: "We are extremely grateful for the opportunity we had the past three seasons to travel across the country, share our experiences and connect with all of the courageous individuals who entrusted us with their stories. Our journey has inspired hope and sparked important conversations while empowering unique voices and opening new doors. As we move forward with our exciting individual projects, we welcome Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall, and wish them the best on continuing this work during an increasingly difficult time for the LGBTQ+ community."
· Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall quote: "We have been so inspired by the stories and important work that has been done over the last three seasons of We're Here. We look forward to continuing this journey throughout the country to uplift voices, spread love and showcase new stories through the art of drag. We thank the entire We're Here team for choosing us to join this life-changing experience."
· WE'RE HERE was recently awarded Television Academy Honors and won the GLAAD and Peabody awards for its critically acclaimed third season. Season three was praised by Variety as a show "we need right now" that "shows us the power of visibility" [and] "saves lives." The Los Angeles Times hailed it as "uniquely affirming and vital" and Wired called it "an essential reminder that queer people are fighting for justice and visibility across the US." Decider lauded it for managing "to find the light even in the
Jot that down and we'll have it by September.
Entertainer Paul O'Grady has been given the posthumous freedom of his home region.
Wirral councillors voted unanimously to award the honorary freedom of the borough to the Birkenhead-born TV presenter who died in March aged 67.
O'Grady grew up in Merseyside but later moved to London, where he found fame as his comedic alter-ego Lily Savage.
More than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling for a statue of him to be erected in Birkenhead.
Councillor Andrew Hodson, proposing the motion to give O'Grady the freedom of Wirral at an extraordinary council meeting, said: "This is a very significant step for the council to take as to date only 12 people have been honoured in this way."
Mr Hodson, a Conservative who worked with O'Grady for a short time at the DHSS in Birkenhead, added he was being honoured for his "eminent service to the borough and people of Wirral".
Labour councillor Stephen Bennett also said the star "never forgot his roots", adding: "He always promoted this area."
O'Grady rose to fame in the 1990s with his drag queen persona Lily Savage, going on to present BBC One game show Blankety Blank and other light entertainment programmes.
Later in his career he hosted various chat shows and also brought his love of dogs to the screen.
Other recipients of the Freedom of Wirral have included former Birkenhead MP Lord Field, the victims of the Hillsborough disaster and PC David Phillips, who was killed on duty in 2016 when he was knocked down by a teenager driving a stolen pick-up truck.
Lightning Gets in Your Snake Eyes
B2B online casino services provider Evolution has announced the launch of its online live casino game Lightning Dice in the United States. The game is now streaming live to players in New Jersey from Evolution’s live casino studio in Atlantic City.
The company describes it as "a simple yet endlessly entertaining dice game" with random "Lightning" strike multipliers of up to 1000x. Lightning Dice is part of Evolution’s popular Lightning family, which also features the game Lightning Roulette, described by the provider as "a revolutionary online live game show concept that launched in 2018."
Like Lightning Roulette, Lightning Dice also features an ‘electrifying’ User Interface and is set in a black and gold Art Deco environment.
Evolution explains that in Lightning Dice, three standard dice are dropped into a transparent ‘Lightning Tower’ by the game presenter. Camera close-ups then follow the dice as they tumble down through the maze-like sections of the tower.
Players simply bet on what the total of the three dice will be when they come to rest at the tower’s base. As in all Evolution’s Lightning games, random lightning strikes can multiply any player’s potential winnings.
Then you know it's time for Livewire! Until next time, play on playas.
