After the Tim Burton show held the spot for six weeks, #GinnyAndGeorgia has knocked #WednesdayNetflix from the top of Netflix's most-watched shows. https://t.co/N0Pxj86mOB pic.twitter.com/gPKpE3fOTI

— Screen Rant (@screenrant) January 10, 2023

Here's what happened this season for those that want spoilers:

-Ginny started going to therapy and it was going well, she made amends with Georgia despite Georgia's murderous ways
-Ginny and Marcus were in a stable relationship but Marcus was also depressed and Ginny was focused on her own problems to notice it so they broke up, but she promised to be there for him in any capacity in the finale
-Max became more likable this season
-Georgia married Paul (who is a damn sweetheart) but she seemingly still has feelings for both Joe and Zion.
-Joe is still obsessed with Georgia but to forget her, he slept with Cynthia whose husband was on his death bed, Georgia later killed Cynthia's husband because Cynthia wished for it all to stop and for her kid not to remember his dad like this
-Austin's dad, and Georgia's ex, Gil, was released from prison and out for revenge, he confronted Georgia and hit her, and Austin shot him in the shoulder
-Georgia told Paul about her past (leaving out the murders though) and he still married her
-The season ends with Georgia going to jail for murdering Cynthia's husband


Here's a funny scene from season 2:

The Sister Wives season 17 finale aired Sunday night.

Wife #2, Janelle Brown, announced on the Season 17 Tell-All that she and Kody have been separated for months and she is "really happy".

Wife #1, Meri and Kody released a statement today on Instagram confirming they’ve decided to “permanently terminate” their “marriage relationship”. She also said “Please try to refrain from congratulating me at the break up of my marriage.”
Fans of the show will know that she and Kody have had a "platonic" relationship for the last decade.

Wife # 3, Christine Brown, left Kody in 2021 and moved back to Utah.

It seems only Kody's relationship with Wife #4, Robyn Brown, has survived. She is also the only wife to whom he is legally married.

My prayers have been answered, as it appears Acapulco has been renewed for a third season. According to the Film and Industry Alliance’s Production List, season 3 of the best Apple TV+ show you’re probably still not watching starts filming in March. The best? Yes. Season 2 of Ted Lasso was mediocre but season 2 of Acapulco slayed just as much as the first season. I said what I said! Now please do yourself a favor and go watch Acapulco bbs x

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate loses appeal against 30-day detention in Romania, after arrest over human trafficking allegations https://t.co/zKbXSPE1h7

— BBC Breaking News (@BBCBreaking) January 10, 2023

A judge in Romania has upheld the 30-day detention of misogynist piece of shit influencer Andrew Taint, 36, and his brother Tristan Tate, 34, who are being investigated for human trafficking, rape, and organized crime.

On Tuesday, the brothers arrived at Bucharest’s Court of Appeal handcuffed to each other, and Andrew was seen carrying the Qur’an in his right hand. The court heard arguments from Tate’s lawyers for their release, which included that the Tate brothers have small children in Romania.

According to the Associated Press, the judge stated that the brothers are at risk of evading investigations and that they could “leave Romania and settle in countries that do not allow extradition.”

Over the weekend, Andrew was reportedly taken to the hospital due to a medical condition. Taint (or rather, the people behind his social media account) however tweeted that “the Matrix has attacked me.”

In March 2012, Kim Kardashian was “flour bombed” while walking the red carpet at the launch of her perfume

Sheeraz Hasan was her former media strategist. Now he claims that Kim faked the incident in a bid to make headlines and promote her new perfume.

He claimed he told Kardashian at the time: “OK, this is what’s going to happen. You’re going to be fine, you’re going to be safe, but we’re going to create a media moment. If we create media gold, guess what’s going to happen? Everyone’s going to be talking about your perfume, everyone’s going to buy it.”

“Are the team in on it? Of course, they’re in on it,” Hasan added.

Meanwhile, the assailant reportedly ran off after throwing the flour but was intercepted by someone who worked for Kim and held until the police arrived. She was arrested but Kim opted not to press charges, with the woman being released shortly afterward.

‘Fatal Attraction’: Paramount+ Sets Premiere Date, Series Boss On Telling A New Story https://t.co/KHWvJ8oC8E

— Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) January 10, 2023

- Less than two years ago just a blink in someone's eye, now it's time to show what it's made off;

- April 30 with two back to back episodes;

- Lizzie Caplan, Joshua Jackson and Amanda Peet star as the main three;

- From the EP: "This reimagining of Fatal Attraction shares a lot with the iconic original film, but it also is about entitlement and midlife crisis and how some of the sausage gets made in our broken justice system, as well as Cluster B personality disorders, isolation, of fathers and daughters, and murder. It’s about how some people just can’t take a win."

I'm an American who ate at a French McDonald's for the first time, and it wasn't as glamorous as 'Emily in Paris' suggests https://t.co/C5gWfDcVTR

— Insider Life (@InsiderLife) January 6, 2023

In the show, McDonald's restaurants in France are shown as more glamorous than their counterparts in the U.S. But that have an basis in reality?

The author visited a McDonald's in Paris' historic Latin Quarter and tried a few menu items she can't get back home in New York.

The outside of the restaurant seemed chic, with large windows and a green awning. It was located among a strip of classic Parisian buildings, which didn't make the restaurant stick out. Inside it looked pretty similar to McDonald's restaurants in NYC. Dining area was dark & everyone was wearing their coat.

She ordered the limited-time-only "Emily in Paris" meal, which includes the McBaguette, fries, a drink, and two macarons.
The McBaguette comes with two beef patties, lettuce, Swiss cheese, and mustard on a small baguette roll. The baguette was a little too crispy, but it was soft on the inside. Flavor was a little like a Big Mac.
The fries were similar to ones in the U.S.
The meal also comes with two macarons, one chocolate-brownie flavored and one cherry flavored. She liked the cherry one better.


While the author enjoyed many of the menu items that she tried, she wouldn't describe the experience as chic or luxurious. The show might try to convince you that McDonald's has adapted to fit in with French culture, but a classic Parisian outdoor café is far better.
