CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND:  I think Lorne's making a real mistake in weakening an already sub-par male half of the SNL cast by axing versatile Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah with one year left on their contracts. How do you not have an Obama while Obama is still in office? (What: Pete Davidson?)  And how do you replace all the impressions Killam does so adeptly, as well as the dancing ability?  The world does not need a Christoph Waltz impersonator, but damn his is good.

We're going to end up with Kenan Thompson as Tim Kaine, aren't we.

SOMEONE IS GETTING THE PEOPLE'S ELBOW:  The Rock has declared that some of his male co-stars in the upcoming Fast 8 are "candy-asses."  Speculation generally revolves around new cast addition Scott Eastwood, though Kurt Russell (who appeared in a small role in Furious 7) seems to be a possibility.

DOES THIS MEAN PIGGY IS ELIZA?  Despite their last TV show being a failure, Disney is staying in the Muppet business, launching a new show at Disney World where the Muppets present "their own unique take on the founding fathers and the birth of the United States of America."

MY TRAVELING COMPANION IS NINE YEARS OLD: "Here are the best playlists for your summer road trip. They’re called albums."

“One thing in favor of the album format in the streaming age is just that maintaining and curating your playlist is work” says Hein. “Fleetwood Mac put all this thought and attention into picking eleven Fleetwood Mac songs for you to listen to, in an order, as a group.” 

So why not just hit play and let Fleetwood Mac—or Grimes, or Modest Mouse, or Beethoven—do the curating?
