In the tenth episode of Found, Gabi Moseley was stressed over the “Annie” situation and desperately wanted to get some proper information about Annie.

At dinnertime, when Sir found Gabi was worried about Annie, he showed Gabi the red ribbon Annie used to wear. Annie was freaked out thinking that Sir might have killed Annie,...

CBS is doubling down on Big Brother.
The network announced today during its TCA summer press tour day that Big Brother: Celebrity Edition will return on the network for a third season in winter 2022, with an all-new group of celebrities living together in the Big Brother house.
The series previously aired in winter 2018 and 2019 and included television personalities Kandi Burruss, Omarosa Manigault Newman, and Ross Matthews, Olympians Lolo Jones and Ryan Lochte, and actors Shannon Elizabeth and Joey Lawrence.
The successful series has also included comedian Tom Green and former White House director of communications Anthony Scaramucci.

As Covid-19 wanes in the United States, symptoms like loss of taste and smell are on the outs too. Imminently returning to the “in” list, though: hearing loss.

A TV taping for a special to air across networks on May 8, it doubled as the first concert at L.A.’s new SoFi Stadium, and America’s first real stadium show since the pandemic began. Even with the Foos bringing tinnitus back, you could hear the wider reverberations.

They said, ‘We believe in the importance of vaccine equity.’ For them, it was an easy decision to do the right thing because they were so passionate already.

The international advocacy org Global Citizen had big plans this year for campaigns to advance its agenda of ending extreme poverty by 2030. And then the pandemic struck.
Hugh Evans, co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen, worried as the coronavirus lockdown took hold that the whole year would be “lost” for elaborate fundraising and awareness efforts that were long in the works. He was wrong.
“I honestly thought our entire year was going to crumble,” Evans told Variety. “Now we are seeing that it’s been the biggest year ever for Global Citizen.”
In the end, Global Citizen had to put some projects on hold, but other worthy endeavors came together organically out of the immense need and hardship created by the public health crisis. NBC will give the organization a big platform on Dec. 19 when it airs the Global Citizen Prize Awards, hosted by John Legend.
