We Lost Tim Curry (1946 - 2026)

Because this week clearly wasn’t done yet, Tim Curry has left us. You can read Kayleigh’s tribute to the iconic star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, and the ABC miniseries IT, where he terrified an entire generation as the original Pennywise. - (The Wrap)

Back in the late ’90s, my friend Susie and I were having a 3AM, after-the-club —probably dumb— discussion in a Denny’s, about Clue when one of us mentioned Tim Curry. A drunk guy at another table piped up, “Did you know he was in Clue?” We absolutely howled with laughter, and “Did you know Tim Curry was in Clue?” became an idiotic thing we’ve randomly said and texted to each other for the past 30+ years. Last week she texted me this interview with Curry because she thought of me when she saw it, along with the note, “HEY! Did you know Tim Curry was in Clue?!” I am going to miss that fabulous man. - (YouTube)

Dolly may have shuffled off this mortal coil, but Dolly will always be with us. She made sure her legacy and career will carry on for decades to come. - (PEOPLE)

Busy Phillips had a brain tumour removed in March, and thankfully, she’s doing fine! She’ll also be in the new Robert and Michelle King series Cupertino (with Mike Colter and her Girls 5Eva co-star Renée Elise Goldsberry). - (AVC)

TIL John Stamos was originally cast in the role that made Lou Diamond Phillips famous. - (EW)

Wow, Geena Davis/Christopher McDonald/Jeff Goldblum history from 30 years ago is still pretty fascinating when Christopher McDonald tells the story behind it! - (Lainey Gossip)

Despite claims to the contrary (DAMMIT, SCHMIDT!), there’s no New Girl revival in the works, but Liz Meriwether would be down for a “Blair Witch Project-style on iPhones.” She seems pretty busy, but if she can find time, I’d watch that reunion as long as there’s a guaranteed game of True American in it. - (THR)

So no revival there, but The Sandlot kids are back for a reunion in YouTube’s Dugout Dads. I can’t watch this and see them as grown adults, because I can’t hear “You’re killing me, Smalls” come out of an adult man’s mouth. And you know it’s gonna. - (Variety)

Enjoy the eccentric stylings of Marina Hoermanseder. It’s fashion. I wouldn’t understand. - (GFY)

Amber Ruffin Is ‘EN-GAY-GED’! So happy for them both! - (LateNighter)

So Meta has reached a settlement agreement with 47 states for $17.1 billion for turning the brains of young people to mush endangering children with addictive social media platforms. Will Meta actually do anything differently from now on? - (Celebitchy)

There was a devastating flash flood in Nepal and Tibet today. I’m not including the footage of the event because, personally, I think it may be absolutely hellish for some people to see it. Please don’t post the videos in the comments without a spoiler cover. - (The Guardian)

Jomidi was inspired by the CBR18 Book Bingo Reading Challenge “Craft” category and wants to hear your suggestions of books related to crafts in this week’s comment diversion. “I decided it would be the most fun to explore this one from several unusual angles ranging from witchcraft to spacecraft to baking.” (Cannonball Read 18)

I think sometimes we have to just admit: Some dogs are weird. Cute, but weird.
