Light! Camera! Fans Only!
Former star of “My Name Is Earl,” Jamie Pressly, has joined the group of celebrities branching out into provocative online platforms. The 48-year-old actress follows in the footsteps of Shannon Elizabeth and Drea De Matteo, who also found their way to a site famous for adult content.
“I’ve always felt that adapting to change is essential. This provides another way to connect directly with fans in a creative and intentional manner. I truly enjoy meeting fans at Comic-Cons, and the thrill of those face-to-face interactions inspired me to check out possibilities like OnlyFans,” Pressly explained.
However, it’s worth noting that not all content on OnlyFans is adult-themed, but joining such a platform does set certain expectations and stirs quite a conversation.
Sometimes, that buzz alone can be beneficial. For instance, Elizabeth reportedly made a million dollars in her first week—oddly enough, without sharing anything more daring than a bikini photo, as one dissatisfied Reddit user noted.
In the grand scheme of things, Hollywood stars often find it challenging to land consistent work as they age, and once they hit 40, new creative avenues tend to appear.
Meanwhile, for De Matteo, her refusal to adhere to strict COVID-19 protocols led to her detachment from the Hollywood scene. The modern Hollywood landscape, that champions MeToo voices, did not support her choices.
Hamill’s Dark Side
Actor Mark Hamill shared a controversial image of former President Trump, captioned “If only.” Although the “Star Wars” icon has been vocal about his disdain for the former president, this incident seems to have heightened tensions, with many celebrities opting to remain silent.
This post garnered widespread attention, drawing coverage from major entertainment news outlets. Typically, such media outlets might avoid pieces that portray liberal figures unfavorably, but the gravity of this situation couldn’t be overlooked.
The post may have put Hamill in a tricky spot, though it seems he holds little regret. He remarked, “He should live long enough to take responsibility for his… crimes. I was actually hoping he would die, but I apologize if you found the image inappropriate.”
Some individuals claim to “apologize,” and it feels rather unsettling…
No Kill Bill
I imagine Bill Maher is not eager to chat with Hamill.
The “Club Random” host leans liberal, akin to the older Skywalker tales, yet he draws a line at wishing ill upon political adversaries.
He has, in fact, told Democrats, “If you’re among those disappointed that the president wasn’t harmed… you’re not a good person. You’re not a smart person.”
But perhaps those with such sentiments were glued to Jimmy Kimmel during that segment…
Combat Salary
“Mortal Kombat II” is almost ready for audiences. The 2021 revival sequel was released on May 8 and has received hesitantly positive reviews, currently holding a 69% “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
For a film that conveys the depths of springtime puddles, it’s not bad at all. You could call it “Extreme Guilty Pleasure Cinema.”
Producer Tod Garner expressed his dissatisfaction with some reviews, suggesting they show a lack of understanding about what gamers desire. “It’s obvious these reviewers haven’t played the game or grasped what fans seek,” he stated.
He might be somewhat correct. The movie is crafted primarily for gamers, and many producers would be thrilled to see reviews hover above the 60% mark.
Murder, They Wrote.
Remember how Lt. Colombo would often catch criminals off-guard before posing one final question?
Whenever he exclaimed, “Just one more thing,” viewers knew the guilty party was in for it.
We don’t need Columbo to discern who’s put late-night TV in jeopardy. Endless monologues coupled with the dismissal of a broad audience made for obvious missteps.
Even veteran David Letterman thinks the format might soon become outdated, likening it to an 8-track tape within a year.
The suspects in this metaphorical murder are preparing to gather at the end of this month to commemorate the departure of Stephen Colbert from “The Late Show.” On his farewell tour, notable figures like Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Oliver will join him for the final episode.
Perhaps they’ll reminisce about the past while taking turns sharing Trump jokes—this might just keep happening until the inevitable shift arrives.
