WILL CBS AND THE NFL PAY FOR TAYLOR SWIFT TO ATTEND THE SUPER BOWL?

Now that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift wants a ride to the game. Taylor’s been a staple at games this year rooting for her boyfriend Travis Kelce and viewership is way UP – especially among the twenty-something female viewers that advertisers desire. If Taylor attends, CBS, the network airing the game, will likely earn millions more from the commercials since the costs for the ads are based on viewership. As told you, Taylor will have to move mountains to attend since she’s performing in Japan the night before. Taylor estimates it will cost around $1 million for a round trip private jet capable of making the journey from Japan to Las Vegas without refueling, and she wants the NFL and CBS to pay for it. Our football source says Taylor is likely to get her wish, since her attendance is THAT important to all parties involved…

Awkwafina Talk Show

AWKWAFINA: NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

CBS is mulling over its options now that The Late Late Show host James Corden is leaving at the end of this season. While we’ve heard a lot about possible replacements, including a multi-host format, nothing has been decided. The powers that be are quietly meeting with potential replacements and the latest on their wish list is comedian Awkwafina. (a welcome surprise!) A network insider reveals that CBS hosted numerous focus groups and one general consensus is that the gig should go to a younger minority female. The feeling was that there are ENOUGH shows hosted by middle-aged men (yay!) and the network needs to appeal to a different demographic, especially at that late hour.

Brad Pitt Joe Exotic Nicolas Cage Series

NICOLAS CAGE IS PERFECT CASTING TO PLAY JOE EXOTIC

When you think about it, Nicolas Cage IS almost the perfect choice to play Joe Exotic in an eight episode series for CBS. (Just the perfect touch of crazy – right?) The script is based on a story that appeared in Texas Monthly last year (before Tiger King) about how Joe Schreibvogel amassed his private zoo in Oklahoma and feuded with Carol Baskin and Jeff Lowe. The story will also explain how ordinary Joe made himself over to become Joe Exotic. This is the first time Nicolas has done TV, but we imagine he’s very excited to play this character. Joe Exotic recently said he’d like to see Brad Pitt play himself and we think it would be too painful to watch Brad torment animals, while Nicolas can pull it off more easily…

Charlie Sheen Chuck Lorre Revenge Two And A Half Men

CHUCK LORRE’S REVENGE: THE SHOW WILL GO ON WITHOUT CHARLIE SHEEN!

“Two and a Half Men” producer Chuck Lorre kept silent while Charlie Sheen ranted and raved and called him a “stupid little man,” a “maggot,” and worse. He didn’t respond, but he was apparently quietly and methodically planning his revenge. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lorre has notified CBS, Warner Brothers, and Charlie’s costar John Cryer, that he has an idea that will save the show – it involves rebooting the script and hiring a new character. Everybody wants to see the highly profitable show back on the air so it’s almost certain to return – without Charlie. Although Charlie is still trying to worm his way back in, Lorre is anticipating that speculation and publicity about the new casting will steal Charlie’s thunder.
