TAYLOR Swift slams Netflix and its new drama series, Ginny & Georgia, for including a “lazy, deeply sexist” joke about her love life. Fans began trending “Respect Taylor Swift ” on Twitter over the weekend after watching the show and finding the joke to be incredibly “hurtful towards Taylor.” Season 1 of the series, which follows 15-year-old Ginny ( Antonia Gentry ) and her 30-year-old mom Georgia (Brianne Howey), released last Wednesday and features 10 episodes. In the finale, titled "The Worst Betrayal Since Jordyn and Kylie," the mother-daughter duo are fighting when Ginny says to her mom: "What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.” Viewers slammed the series for including the joke, unable to believe that “in the year 2021,” a program would still be making the same comments about Taylor’s romantic life that have been made her entire career.

KIEV: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Tuesday (Nov 27) warned of the threat of "full-scale war" and said Russia had sharply increased its military presence on their shared border as tensions escalate between the ex-Soviet neighbours. The crisis also threatened growing diplomatic fallout with US President Donald Trump warning that he may cancel a long-awaited summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin. Trump is scheduled to meet Putin at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires at the end of this week, but he told The Washington Post that it would depend on the results of a report about the incident being prepared by his national security advisers. "Maybe I won't have the meeting. Maybe I won't even have the meeting," he said. In Ukraine, Poroshenko warned that the clash at sea could herald more drastic developments in the simmering Ukraine-Russia military standoff. "I don't want anyone to think this is fun and games. Ukraine is under threat of full-scale war with Russia," the … [Read more...] about Ukrainian president warns of threat of ‘full-scale war’ with Russia

(UPDATE with AMC statement) Over four years after former The Walking Dead showrunner Frank Darabont and CAA first took AMC to court in a more than $280 million profit participation action, the duo hit the cabler again today with a new $10 million suit. A suit that AMC is dismissing as being because of the avarice of the uber-agency. “Having recently completed its audit of AMC’s accounting records, it is now clear that AMC’s wrongful conduct extends well beyond artificially deflated license fees,” said the breach of contract and declaratory judgment-seeking complaint filed this morning in New York Supreme Court ( read it here ). “In addition to withholding hundreds of millions of dollars from the creators of the hit television series The Walking Dead through improper self-dealing, which is the subject of litigation between the parties currently pending in this court, AMC has used a variety of shady accounting practices, described below, to withhold tens of … [Read more...] about CAA “Greed” Is At True Heart Of New $10M ‘Walking Dead’ Suit Declares AMC – Update

Deadline Comic-Con TV correspondent Gary Hodges filed his report: UPDATED: The Walking Dead ( AMC ) enjoys an overlap of fans at Comic-Con, both fans of the series and the graphic novel it’s based on. The panel held off bringing out the cast at first, instead introducing writer/director/producer Frank Darabont, makeup artist Greg Nicotero, and executive producers Gale Anne Hurd and Robert Kirkman (who’s also the writer of the comic book series). Hurd was the first to make news, announcing that the season premiere of season 2 would air Sunday, October 16 th at its new time, 9pm. A trailer was next (video below), which did a good job of creating a feeling of dread but with too many fast cuts to discern anything specific about future episodes. (People fleeing zombies, shooting at zombies, hiding from zombies. And so on.) It closes with spoken dialogue: “I guess I’m losing hope. But like I said, it’s all about slim chances now. And a slim chance is better than none.” With … [Read more...] about 2011 Comic-Con: ‘The Walking Dead’ Unveils Season 2 Premiere Date, New Trailer, More
