CBS Cancels Katherine Heigl’s ‘Doubt’ After Only 2 Episodes

CBS has pulled the plug and canceled Katherine Heigl’s new legal drama Doubt  after only two episodes.

According to a press release from CBS, the network said Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders will take over Doubt, and the network will air reruns of Bull. 

The second season of CRIMINAL MINDS: BEYOND BORDERS will premiere Wednesday, March 8 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), joining the two-hour spring premiere of SURVIVOR, on the CBS Television Network,” the network explained in a statement. “CRIMINAL MINDS: BEYOND BORDERS will replace DOUBT in the time period. A rebroadcast of BULL will be broadcast on Wednesday, March 1 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).”

Katherine Heigl, the cast and crew behind Doubt, filmed thirteen episodes of the show. However, it is not clear whether or not CBS will air the final eleven episodes. While legal dramas are still popular on television, it appears as though people were not interested in watching Heigl on television.

According to IMDB, Doubt the TV series centers around a successful defense lawyer at a small law firm who falls in love with a client who may or may not be guilty of a crime. The TV series featured Heigl, Kobi Libii, and Lauren Blumenfeld.

Tony Phelan and Joan Rater created the show. The two producers previously worked on Grey’s Anatomy for nearly a decade.

What’s next for Katherine Heigl?

The film centers around two brothers trying to break a family curse by executing an elaborate robbery during the Coca-Cola 600 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Katherine Heigl will star alongside Daniel Craig, Adam Driver, Hilary Swank, and Seth MacFarlane.

Intense Workouts May Hurt Your Sex Life

Is your workout routine hurting your sex life?

A new study from the University of North Carolina published this week in the Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found men who have intense exercise routines may have a lower sex drive, also known as libido, than men who do not exercise as hard.

Researchers examined over 1,000 active men and surveyed their workouts and their sex drives. Scientists split the participants into separate groups based upon how long they worked, the intensity of their workouts and their libido levels. When researchers compared the results, scientists found that those who reported light or moderate exercises were more likely to have a higher libido than men who had intense workout sessions.

Researchers in the study argue that the survey is self-reported, which could skew the results of the survey and may not be entirely accurate. However, it is just a survey that suggests a correlation between intense workouts and lower libidos.

However, researchers told the New York Times that men who have intense workouts may be too tired or may experience a drop in testosterone levels. “But there does seem be a potential tipping point,” researchers explained in the study.

Exercise and Libido

A 1986 landmark study published in the Journal of Animal Science examined how a regular exercise regiment affected the libido in horses. After 32 weeks, researchers found that animals that exercised regularly had a lower libido than horses that did not. Researchers explained in their study, “mean libido scores of the non-exercised group were higher than exercised stallions after 12 wk of forced daily exercise.”

But, not exercising may have a long term problem. Recent research has shown obese men who have children are more likely to have kids with social developmental problems.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Responds to the ‘Walking Dead’ “Racist” T-Shirt Controversy: “People Are Stupid”

The Walking Dead is in the middle of a controversy after Primark pulled a Walking Dead T-shirt after someone called the shirt “racist”.

British department store Primark discontinued sales of a t-shirt with Negan’s baseball bat Lucille and the quote “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe”, after a shopper claimed the shirt was offensive.

A shopper argued that the rhyme has a “subliminal message” because the rhyme is often followed by “catch a n***er by his toe” and not a “tiger by his toe”, as Negan says to taunt Rick in the show.

“It was fantastically offensive, and I can only assume that no-one in the process of ordering it knew what they were doing or were aware of its subliminal messages. It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood.” one shopper said.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan on the show, had something to say about the controversy. Morgan took to Twitter and said, “Holy crap people are stupid.”

But, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is not alone. Many other people lambasted the store for pulling the T-shirt. “The progressive left has hit maximum fake racist accusation. This is disgusting, Walking dead T-shirt.. racist. Did these lefts watch show?,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Someone explain why that Walking Dead shirt is racist. been looking at it for several minutes and i don’t get it. #primark #TheWalkingDead”, another Twitter user commented on the controversy.

The Walking Dead is half-way into their seventh season and is currently the most watched show on television. In fact, the show’s latest episode had more viewers than the NBA All-Star Game.

Shia LaBeouf’s Anti-Trump Protest Stops Streaming After a Report of Gunshots

Shia LaBeouf’s Anti-Trump Protest Stops Streaming After a Report of Gunshots

Shia LaBeouf’s He Will Not Divide us art exhibition moved to New Mexico after the former New York Museum of Moving Image shut down the art installation. However, LaBeouf revealed that they were forced to take the stream down “after shots were reported in the area.”

According to TMZ, reports of shots fired happened early Thursday morning in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico just minutes away from El Rey Theater.

The art exhibition asked for people to say the phrase “He will not divide us” into a camera that was live-streaming online. The exhibit is currently located at Albuquerque’s El Rey Theater and was launched by LaBeouf and performance art collaborators Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner.

The website behind the “He Will Not Divide Us” exhibit points out the performance art show is open to the public for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the duration of Trump’s presidency. The performance art exhibit is calling for others to say “He will not divide us” as a way to show “resistance or insistence, opposition or optimism.”

LaBeouf is planning to protest Trump’s presidency with the art installation. The project is intended to last four years. However, the He Will Not Divide us production has run into several bumps along the way. Outside of getting shut down in New York City, LaBeouf was also arrested.

In a statement, the museum said, “While the installation began constructively, it deteriorated markedly after one of the artists was arrested on the site of the installation and ultimately necessitated this action.”

In response to getting shut down, LaBeouf and his team posted a statement in response. In the report they argued, “from the outset, the museum failed to address our concerns about the misleading framing of our piece as a political rally, rather than as a participatory performance artwork resisting the normalisation of division”

At this time, it is not clear whether or not the He Will Not Divide Us art installation has been shut down.

Store Pulls ‘Racist’ Walking Dead T-Shirts

Primark halted the sale of a The Walking Dead T-shirt after people called the shirt racist.

What makes the T-shirt racist? Well, on the front of the shirt there’s a picture of Lucille – the baseball bat used by the newly introduced Walking Dead character Negan – and the words “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe.”

One Primark shopper told The Telegraph that the T-shirt was offensive and contained “subliminal messages.”

“It was fantastically offensive, and I can only assume that no-one in the process of ordering it knew what they were doing or were aware of its subliminal messages. It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood.” one shopper said.

Via AMC/Amazon

It is important to note that the show’s character that uses this quote says, “Eeny meany miny moe catch a tiger by its toe,” while he is choosing his next victim.

That said, the quote has a historically racist past. In fact, the original rhyme previously said, “catch a (n-word) by his toe.”

Many fans were upset with the decision to pull the shirt and took to Twitter to complain.

“One jumped up idiot makes a complaint to #primark about their #WalkingDead t-shirts being ‘racist’ and they pull them! @WalkingDead_AMC,” one Twitter user argued.

Another Twitter user explained that the person who complained is racist, “@Primark are you absolutely kidding me 1 bloke says something is racist n u remove it. it’s a bloody tv show he is racist @WalkingDead_AMC”

A spokesperson for Primark published a statement apologizing for selling the T-shirt. “The t-shirt in question is licensed merchandise for the U.S. television series, The Walking Dead, and the quote and image are taken directly from the show,” the statement said. “Any offence caused by its design was wholly unintentional, and Primark sincerely apologizes for this.”

Instagram’s New Feature Allows You To Post Multiple Photos and Videos

A day after Snapchat released their Spectacles to the public, Instagram is expanding their features.

On Wednesday, Instagram launched the ability for users to post up to 10 photos or videos into a single post that friends can swipe through. Essentially, the new feature is an Instagram album that carousels around a single theme. The feature will become available to Instagram users around the world in the next few weeks.

How does Instagram’s new feature work?

To use Instagram’s new feature press a new icon on the app, which will allow you to upload multiple photos and videos at a time. Then, users can change the order of the photos, apply filters, and post a single caption. After posting the album, Instagram users will have a grid icon on the top right corner next to album posts indicating users can watch multiple posts.

Users can like and comment on multiple posts just like a regular Instagram post.

In a blog post, Instagram points out how they are constantly adding new features. “From stories to live video to posts in feed, it’s never been easier to share your experiences with your friends.”

Snapchat vs. Instagram

This news comes after Snapchat announced their initial public offering. However, what was once Instagram’s biggest competitor, Instagram has reportedly hit the video sharing app following the release of Instagram Stories. In fact, a TechCrunch report found user growth stalled by 82% following the release of Instagram Stories. But, Mark Zuckerberg is not stopping there. On Monday, WhatsApp announced a new feature similar to Snapchat called

But, Mark Zuckerberg is not stopping there. On Monday, WhatsApp announced a new feature similar to Snapchat called WhatsApp Status. Instead of users posting a status message, WhatsApp will now allow users to share photos and videos that can last for up to 24 hours. In addition, the videos can record for up to 45 seconds instead of just 10.

Owning a Cat Does Not Cause Mental Illness, Study Finds

If you were worried that your cat could make you mentally ill, then I have great news for you. Scientists have discovered that it is not possible.

Scientists once believed that the parasite found in cat feces, Toxoplasma gondii, caused people to develop schizophrenia, psychosis, and mental disorders.

But a study examining 5,000 people published in the Journal of Psychological Medicine has ruled out mental disease linked to owning cats. The lead researcher in the study, Dr. Francesca Solmi of University College London, released a statement on Tuesday.

“The message for cat owners is clear: there is no evidence that cats pose a risk to children’s mental health,” Dr. Solmi explained. “In our study, initial unadjusted analyses suggested a small link between cat ownership and psychotic symptoms at age 13, but this turned out to be due to other factors.”

Dr. Solmi added, “Once we controlled for factors such as household over-crowding and socioeconomic status, the data showed that cats were not to blame.” Previous studies reporting links between cat ownership and psychosis simply failed to adequately control for other possible explanations.

Rather, Dr. Solmi argues, previous research reports failed to analyze the data properly and “adequately control for other possible explanations.”

That said, researchers still assert women should avoid dirty litter boxes as the parasite can still cause birth defects and miscarriages. However, for those worried about owning a cat and developing schizophrenia, Dr. Solmi says you will not go crazy.

However, the jury is still out on Salmon. Researchers discovered earlier this year tapeworms known to infect fish in Asia is now in the United States. The CDC published a study in the February 2017 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases the parasite Diphyllobothriasis was found inside Alaskan pink salmon.

New Chewbacca, Joonas Suotamo, Tweets Open Letter to Star Wars Fans and Peter Mayhew

Peter Mayhew has not had the best health in recent years. However, he was still able to put on his world famous Chewbacca suit one last time in The Force Awakens. With the help of photo double Joonas Suotamo, a former basketball player, Suotamo played Chewbacca in Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But, apparently, Suotamo was being trained to take over as Chewbacca, which he announced on Tuesday night.

Suotamo posted the open letter on Twitter for his social media fans:

Suotamo says, “I am profoundly grateful for this amazing opportunity to become a part of the Star Wars franchise that I have loved since my childhood.” Suotamo continues by thanking his friends, family, basketball coaches and the staff at Disney and Lucasfilm. But, he also takes a moment to thank Peter Mayhew personally.

“Chewbacca is one of the most iconic characters in the history of film, and Peter’s development and portrayal of this beloved Wookie has spread so much joy across the globe.” Suotamo added, “Peter’s guidance and kindness have been invaluable gifts which warmed my spirit and prepared me for this journey. I aspire to make Peter proud and bring Star Wars fans the Chew they know and love.”

This news comes after Disney’s Star Wars released a first look at the cast of the upcoming Han Solo spinoff movie. The Star Wars photo features Atlanta’s Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Chewbacca, and the leading star of the film Alden Ehrenreich.

The upcoming Star Wars Han Solo standalone movie hits theaters on May 25, 2018.

Bill Maher Congratulates Himself for Milo Yiannopoulos’ Downfall

Bill Maher Congratulates Himself for Milo Yiannopoulos’ Downfall

HBO’s Real Time host, Bill Maher is taking credit for Milo Yiannopoulos’ resignation from Breitbart News.

In a matter of a few days, Milo, an alternative conservative media personality, went from being a writer in one of the most popular U.S. conservative news outlets to losing his book deal and becoming a CPAC keynote speaker. Also, Milo decided to resign from Breitbart after a video went viral that revealed him defending pedophilia.

When Maher invited Yiannopoulos to HBO’s Real Time, Maher threw himself in the middle of a controversy with one of the guests, Jeremy Scahill, baking out of the show in protest of Milo’s attendance. Scahill published a statement on Twitter arguing, “Appearing on Real Time will provide Yiannopoulos with a large, important platform to openly advocate his racist, anti-immigrant campaign.”

However, following Milo’s appearance on Real Time, Maher claims that everything worked out.

“About a week ago, I went on Van Jones’ show, and somebody asked me about the booking. I hadn’t really gotten into the details of Milo yet. He was just getting on my radar,” Maher explained.

“I said, specifically, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Then we had Milo on, despite the fact that many people said, ‘Oh, how dare you give a platform to this man.’ What I think people saw was an emotionally needy Ann Coulter wannabe, trying to make a buck off of the left’s propensity for outrage.”And by the end of the weekend, by dinnertime Monday, he’s dropped as a speaker at CPAC. Then he’s dropped by Breitbart, and his book deal falls through. As I say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. You’re welcome.”

Maher added, “And by the end of the weekend, by dinnertime Monday, he’s dropped as a speaker at CPAC. Then he’s dropped by Breitbart, and his book deal falls through. As I say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. You’re welcome.”

Maher argues that he was able to take out Milo by doing nothing. Moreover, Maher responded to the New York Times question as to why he gave Milo the ability to discuss whatever he wanted on the show. Maher argued, “It’s not my job to hold him accountable to everything he’s ever said or done. I had eight minutes with him, on the show itself. Sorry I don’t have time to go over everything everybody else would want to do.”

Maher continued, “You know what he is? He’s the little impish, bratty kid brother. And the liberals are his older teenage sisters who are having a sleepover, and he puts a spider in their sleeping bag so he can watch them scream.”

That said, Milo’s press conference reveals that he has no plans on stopping and will most likely use this controversy, spotlight, and attention to create his media platform.

Milo Yiannopoulos Resigns from Breitbart News

Milo Yiannopoulos, the alternative right writer, resigned from Breitbart News on Tuesday after a video of him went viral over the weekend showing Milo endorsing pedophilia.

Who is Milo Yiannopoulos?

Yiannopoulos has a long history of sparking controversy offending African Americans, homosexuals and women. In 2014 Stephen Bannon hired Milo. Milo gained national attention after he was banned from Twitter. Last year, after the release of Sony’s Ghostbusters, Milo led a campaign ridiculing Saturday Night Live actress and Ghostbusters co-star Leslie Jones. In addition, one of his most popular stories on Breitbart was titled,“Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.”

Milo Yiannopoulos history with Breitbart news

Bannon, who is currently President Trump’s senior adviser, praised Milo’s commentary and editorial opinion’s. As a result, Breitbart’s reputation among Trump supporters grew.

On Tuesday, Milo Yiannopoulos held a press conference announcing his resignation from the company. “Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved. The have been a significant factor in my success.”

Milo Yiannopoulos Pedophilia comments

But, Milo’s comments on pedophilia has caused enough controversy for Breitbart to pull the plug on the writer.

In a video interview conducted last year, Milo condoned sexual relationships with teenage boys and joked about a sexual encounter he had with a Catholic priest as a teen.

“Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty.”

Milo Yiannopoulos fallout

Following the video going viral, CPAC’s organizer disinvited Milo as a conference speaker. In addition, the group’s chairman released a statement about the video calling it “disturbing.”

Then, Milo’s upcoming memoir, “Dangerous”, was canceled by the publisher Simon & Schuster.

Over the weekend Milo took to Facebook to address the controversy.

“I do not support pedophilia. Period,” he explained.

“It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a coordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject.”

Milo Yiannopoulos Press Conference

On Tuesday, Milo Yiannopoulos apologized and argued that he does not support child abuse and will donate 10% of his royalties to children affected by sexual abuse. However, Milo did criticize the media saying, “This is a cynical media witch hunt by people who do not care about children. They care about destroying me.”
