Steve Carell: Did He Announce a Reboot of The Office on Saturday Night Live?!

It"s been over five years since the last episode of The Office aired


You still miss it, don"t you?



It was just such a fun, funny, delightful little show, and so very many people loved it so very much.


And since we"re in a time right now when many beloved shows are getting reboots — Roseanne, Murphy Brown, the new Sabrina series on Netflix, just to name a few — fans have been clamoring for a reboot of The Office, too.


There have been rumors about this for a while now, and even a few somewhat promising reports.


We"ve heard that a reboot could happen with just a few of the old cast members and some new characters.


But, over the years, Steve Carell, the man behind the World"s Best Boss, Michael Scott, has maintained that it wouldn"t be a great idea.



He"s also made it pretty clear that if it did happen, he most likely wouldn"t be involved.


Well, Steve hosted Saturday Night Live last night … and he may have changed his tune!


After he kicked off his opening monologue, an audience member interrupted him to ask if he"d ever reboot the show.


"No, actually, I don"t think so," he answered. "It was a great experience, I love all those people, but I just don"t think it"s the best idea, I think maybe we should just leave it alone."


Then Kenan Thompson popped up in the audience to tell him that no, it would be the best idea.



"It would be like someone wanted you to reboot Kenan and Kel," Steve argued.


Kenan told him that it "would be an honor" if that happened — so seriously, can that happen?


But then Ellie Kemper stood up.


Ellie Kemper who played that adorable, goofy receptionist, Erin, in later seasons.



"People would really love to see an Office reboot," she told him. "Especially me. I need that money. Let"s get that money, Steve!"


He still refused, so she called him a jerk and sat back down.


So it was Ed Helms" turn.


Ed Helms has gone on to star in tons and tons of movies, but many people still know him as Andy Bernard, that good ol" Cornell graduate who loves singing and has anger management issues.



"I just don"t think you understand how much money we"re talking about," he said to Steve. "Like, you wouldn"t have to do all those sad movies anymore."


(Steve is hosting SNL because he has a new movie, Beautiful Boy, coming out in which he plays a father with a drug addict son.)


He explained that he doesn"t do those movies for money, and so it was time to pull out the big guns:


Jenna Fischer, AKA Pam Beasley-Halpert.



"Steve, do you remember the last words Pam secretly whispered to Michael as she left for Denver?" she asked, referencing a fan-favorite moment.


When he said he didn"t, she told him "She said, "Steve, don"t be a dick, do the reboot.""


Finally, Steve"s actual wife and kids urged him to do it … so was what enough?!


"Seems like everyone wants this to happen," Steve said to the audience. "Do you want to see an Office reboot?"


Everyone cheered, because honestly, everyone does want to see that.



He asked Ellie, Ed, and Jenna to come up on the stage with him, then said "I am proud to announce officially …"


"We have a great show tonight!"


Yep, he really did play us like that.


Obviously there"s still no reboot in the works, but hey, maybe this was them sort of testing the waters, trying to see if people would want to watch?


We can dream.

The Duggars Are Soon to Announce Another Pregnancy. Here"s How We Know ...


There was a time when the Duggar pregnancy announcements happened so frequently that it was hard to keep up.


These days, however, the deluge of Duggar offspring has slowed to a trickle.


At the moment, multiple Duggar women are rumored to be pregnant, but no official announcements have been made.


What gives? Well, fans have a theory as to what might be holding up the parade, as well as a few predictions about who will be sharing their big news next.


Take a look:




1. The Duggar Daughters


Duggar sisters counting on

Aside from Jana, all of Jim Bob and Michelle’s adult daughters are married with children these days.



2. Welcome, Felicity


Jinger duggar and felicity vuolo twinning

Jinger Duggar is the latest to bring a bundle of joy into the world, having welcomed little Felicity Vuolo in July.



3. A Race to the Finish


Joseph kendra and garrett duggar

Of course, Jinger is the most recent new mom by only a few weeks. Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell welcomed a son named Garrett in June.



4. And Baby Makes Three

Joy-Anna Duggar welcomed a son named Gideon Forsyth back in February, and that’s it for the Duggar births of 2018.



5. Not Too Shabby


Duggar girls

That may sound like quite the productive year in terms of procreating, but Michelle and Jim Bob probably thought their kids would be even more fruitful by now.



6. The Tipping Point


Duggars counting on cast photo

After all, 2018 marks the first year in which more than half of their kids will reach the age of 20 or older by year’s end.

Audrey and Jeremy Roloff Announce New Podcast Name!


Audrey and Jeremy Roloff are no longer cast members on Little People, Big World.


But this doesn"t mean you"ve seen or heard the last from the former TLC personalities.


Far from it, in fact.


Aside from penning a memoir and constantly updating their social media feeds, Audrey and Jeremy will be coming out with a podcast.


They announced this big step several weeks ago, but didn"t reveal the name of the planned podcast…. UNTIL NOW!


Audrey has written a lengthy Instagram post in promotion of the endeavor, including with it the highly-anticipated name.


So, what are you waiting for?!? Find out below!




1. Audrey Builds the Hype…


Audrey and jeremy in autumn

She opened the Instagram post that confirmed the name as follows: “As Jer and I were talking about the kind of content that we gravitate to the most, it’s always the behind the scenes stuff. We love when people share the whys and hows of what they do and the struggle behind their success! We want our podcast to feel relatable, real and refreshing. We want it to inspire you, challenge you, relate to you, and defintely make you laugh”



2. Fair Enough. Go On, Auds…


Roloffs near church

“so….we are calling our podcast … BEHIND THE SCENES,” she then announced. Yup, that’s it. Just “Behind the Scenes.” No need for any confusing puns here!



3. Is There an Instagram Page for It Yet?


Happy fourth

Yup. Go ahead and follow @behindthescenespodcast if you so desire.



4. What Can Listeners Expect From It?


They just woke up

Teases Audrey: “We are going to share the messy, honest, unfiltered and not so curated parts of our life. We are going to share the behind the scenes reality of OUR life, AND the lives of the people who inspire us the most!”



5. What Else Can Audrey Say About It?


Jeremy and audrey roloff pic

“We are talking you behind the scenes of our social media feeds, blogs, and ministries. We are going to talk honestly and openly about relationships, family, faith, business and whatever we are learning about, fighting about, or laughing about lately. We’re going to share our failures, struggles, and embarrassing stories.”



6. Come On Over. Be Our Friend.


Happy bday audrey

“We hope this podcast will feel more like an invitation to our dinner table,” continued Audrey. “We’ll share what we are learning, who we are learning from, and our roses and thorns – aka highs and lows – from the week. Think of this podcast as a bunch of bloopers with some truth bombs sprinkled throughout.”

Jeremy and Audrey Roloff Announce Departure from Little People, Big World

In a word? Wow.


In another two words? Gosh darn.


On Monday afternoon, Jeremy Roloff took to his Instagram account and delivered some unexpected and unfortunate news to fans…



… he and wife Audrey Roloff are leaving the show that made them famous.


This will be their final season on Little People, Big World.


So Jeremy announced on social media today, much to the shock and sadness of his millions of fans.


“This is an announcement concerning Jeremy Roloff and his family specifically,” opens Jeremy’s caption, which was posted alongside the photo above.


The father of one continued:


“After 14 years, over 300 episodes, and 17 seasons, the time has come.


“A year ago I made the decision that this season would be our last. It has been an amazing run, and I can’t say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride.


“We have the most loyal fans on TV and we appreciate every one of you. You are what made doing this so fun.


“We will still be supporting the family as they carry the #LPBW torch onward. This is a decision concerning Audrey and me specifically – the show must go on!”



That’s some good news, at least.


We’ve actually been speculating for awhile that Little People, Big World may soon come to an end because Matt Roloff is moving to Arizona and Amy Roloff has expressed interest in moving on from the farm as well.


Various family members appear to be going in various directions.


And, let’s face it, the show has been on for so long that it’s already set a Guiness World Record.


It’s simply bound to end at some point.


Jeremy, meanwhile, continued as follows:


“[This] being said, we’re not disappearing. We have a lot of exciting stuff in the works and are eager to continue the work that the Lord has called us to!”


It’s true:


Jeremy and Audrey have a book coming out early next year that will chroncile their love, their lives and offer advice to their many supporters.



“Again, we thank you, and always enjoy when we get a chance to meet one of you,” added Jeremy.


“Whether it be in the airport, on the street, at pumpkin season or at one of our upcoming Beating50percent events! THANK YOU for all the love and support.


“Your messages, comments, gifts, and mail are noticed and appreciated. You guys are the best. Thank you for respecting our decision.”


Always honest and always grateful, Jeremy made a point of acknowledging producers and all those behind the scenes that made his success possible:


“I also want to give a big thank you to the team at TLC,” he concluded.


“Thanks for putting up with us;) You’ve provided us with a grand opportunity and for that we are forever grateful.”



Audrey is yet to comment on her departure.


Two years ago, Jacob Roloff also left the series, while Molly Roloff has chosen to live a life outside of the spotlight.


This leaves Amy, Matt, Zach and Tori as the main Roloffs supposedly interested in continuing on with the program.


Will TLC green light a season without Jeremy and Audrey?


Might the cameras follow around Zach, Tori and their son Jackson in a spinoff?


It’s too early to say for certain.


But this much we can say for certain:


We’ll miss you, Audrey and Jeremy. Thank you for the memories.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Announce Son"s Christening Date!

For the record:


Meghan Markle is not pregnant. Do not believe everything that you read.


But this doesn’t mean there isn’t some major Royal Baby news to announce.



Prince William and Kate Middleton confirmed on Wednesday that their eight-week-old son will be christened on Monday, July 9.


Remember Prince Louis?!?


His exciting birth has almost been forgotten about amidst the excitement of Prince Harry getting married and Pippa Middleton telling the world that she is pregnant with her first child.


But he’s still here, still adorable and about to take a significant step in his life.


“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to announce that the christening of Prince Louis will take place on Monday 9th July at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, London,” Kensington Palace said in a statement this morning.



Following in the very cute footsteps of his brother and sister, Louis’ service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, who christened Prince George in October 2013 and Princess Charlotte in July 2015.


This same man most recently officiated Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding on May 19.


Three-year old Charlotte was christened at Sandringham’s St. Mary Magdalene church in Norfolk.


This is the the same church where her late grandmother, the beloved Princess Diana, was also christened.


The ceremony for four-year old George, meanwhile, was held at St. James’s Palace‘s Chapel Royal.


The Chapel Royal, where Louis’ service will also be, also happens to be where the Duchess of Sussex had her own baptism earlier this year.


Don’t worry. There won’t be a quiz on this later.



At the moment, no further details are known about the christening, but you can expect the Royal Family to release some lovely portraits from the happy day.


Kate and William presented their third child’s name to the world in late April.


He is officially His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge, with Louis having been the middle name of Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest child, Prince Edward (otherwise known as Edward Antony Richard Louis).


We haven’t heard a whole lot from William and Kate about their son since they welcomed him into the world, not since William said that the newborn was sleeping relatively well.


That must be quite the relief.



This may be the last update we receive for awhile, though, as William and Middleton have done an outstanding job of shielding their kids from the public.


It’s always a huge deal when one is born and we get to enjoy a number of photos such as the ones above and below.


But then Kensington Palace works with the couple to make sure no paparazzi have access to various private family areas and the proud parents themselves do everything possible to ensure this same sort of privacy.


They only choose occasions such as this christening to share news with their millions of fans around the world.


Which is how it should be, right?


We’d love to have new Louis photos everyday, but the kid should absolutely grow up in as much peace as possible, given his circumstances in life.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham Announce Wedding Date! Location!

Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham are here to steal Becca Kufrin’s thunder.


Once again.


With Becca set to debut as The Bachelorette this coming Monday, Arie and Lauren went out of their way on Wednesday morning to upstage their nemesis and make a major announcement…



The controversial couple has announced its wedding date!


And its wedding location!


(We’re mostly kidding about the whole nemesis thing, but Arie did dump Becca on national television after The Bachelor finale and then propose to Lauren on the After the Rose special that same night.)


“We are very excited to tell you guys that we have booked a venue,” Burnham said on The View today. “We’re getting married in Hawaii on January 12th next year!”


Arie then provided a few more details:


“It’s in Maui – it’s at Haiku Mill which has this beautiful, old world feel with a lot of vines and greenery.


“It’s not your typical beach wedding. And it’s a private wedding, so not on TV – just a close group of friends. Probably 100 guests.”



Wow. We’re actually surprised by this last part of Arie’s statement.


Based on the way he and Lauren have acted and a few things they’ve said, we simply assumed the stars would get married on television.


(Then again, we also assume they won’t even make it to the altar because, come on, does any couple who supposedly fell in love on The Bachelor?)


“We’re just really happy with each other and we vibe well together,” Lauren said. “We’re best friends, so we’re just ready for that next step.”


She even said they would take this marital step “tomorrow” if they could, but there’s too much to plan for that to be realistic.



Arie, of course, proposed to Kufrin to wrap up his season as The Bachelor.


Two months later, he broke up with her… while network cameras rolled.


He then asked for Lauren’s hand in marriage, stunning viewers who had witnessed the Becca proposal just an hour or so earlier in real time on their TV.


“It was a big risk to do what I did and I know that it wasn’t a popular decision. But it was a decision I had to make for myself. … I knew that Lauren was the person I was supposed to be with,” Luyendyk Jr. said of the moment.


He continued:


“I never watched the finale, so we don’t really know how that breakup looked on TV. But breakups are hard, and I think that everyone handles it in a different way.


“They say it was unedited, but it was edited. You’re not in control of the editing room and you can’t really control what they show.”



No one out there blames Arie if his heart told him to go with Lauren instead of Becca.


But Luyendyk has shaded Kufrin here and there for some reason and he could have chosen to end their engagement in private, as opposed to in front of millions of people.


However, don’t expect Arie or Lauren to apologize for how they ended up here.


“Our relationship is so unique and it’s nothing that I’ve ever had before,” Burnham said, concluding today:


“So the fact that he was willing to take that risk and all of America hating him to be with me, that means a lot to me.”

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Stun the World, Announce Separation

Love is officially dead.


We are most definitely living in the darkest timeline.


Everything will believed to be right has turned out to be so very very wrong.



Yes, we said and thought all these things when Donald Trump was elected President.


But we’re now saying and thinking them because Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have announced they are ending their marriage.


Yes, that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, the same couple who once said they have amazing primal sex and whose tribute to each other on the occasion of an anniversary in 2016 made us laugh and cry.


What the heck could have happened?!


We don’t know just yet.


But the actor and actress, who met on the set of iconic dance movie Step Up over a decade ago, released a joint statement on Monday night that reads as follows:


“Hey world! So… We have something we would like to share.


“First off, it feels odd that we have to share this kind of thing with everyone, but it’s a consequence of the lives we’ve chosen to lead, which we also happen to be deeply grateful for.


“We’re living in an incredible moment in time, but it’s also a time where truth can easily get distorted into ‘alternative facts.’


“So we want to share the truth so you know that if you didn’t read it here then it’s most certainly fiction.”



Indeed, this is undoubtedly the most cheerful break-up announcement in recent memory.


The Twitter message continues/concludes as follows:


We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.


Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.


There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision – just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.


We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly. We won’t be commenting beyond this, and we thank you all in advance for respecting our family’s privacy.


Sending lots of love to everyone.




channing state


Wow, right?!?!?


The stars are each 37 years old and share a daughter; she turns five in May.


They got married in 2009 and talk did start to circulate late last year that there may be trouble in attractive paradise after Dewan attended the American Music Awards solo.


But still.


Channing had previously scoffed at rumors of marital strife.


“It’s all bullsh-t,” Tatum previously The Hollywood Reporter, adding:


“These people just [make it up]. Some of our family members don’t see [it’s not true], and they read a stupid thing and don’t understand it’s a tabloid.”



Well, this time it is not a tabloid.


This time we have heard the news straight from Tatum’s gorgeous mouth itself.


We’re stunned. We’re shook. Our true love confidence level is at an all-time low.


At the very least, we’ll always have Anna Faris and Chris Pratt, right?


Wait…. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?



Back in February, Dewan did scoff at the notion that her relationship was totally perfect.


But she sounded very normal and grounded in explaining what the romance was like, telling Health magazine:


“I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together.


“Even if one starts to grow, the other catches up and vice versa. But I think a couple needs to be conscious and to want to do the work and be willing to look at the parts of you that need work.


“Both of us have been pretty aware and willing to do that. We’ve always had the same values. But we’re not perfect! Are you kidding?


“We fight like other couples, we disagree about things, we have days where we don’t really like each other.”


Oh well.


We wish each half of this former union nothing but the best.


We have a feeling neither will have trouble finding a new lover.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle to Announce Engagement THIS WEEK?!

If you follow the lives of the Royals closely, then you’ve probably been wondering for quite some time if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged.


Despite the fact that they’ve only been together about a year, reports of Harry putting a ring on it have been circulating non-stop in recent months.



And recently, the couple has been under greater scrutiny than ever thanks to a handful of clues that seem to indicate an engagement announcement is imminent.


First, there was Harry and Meghan’s trip to Africa.


Though the safari excursion was ostensibly part of Meghan’s birthday celebration, it was widely reported the real purpose of the two-week vacation was for Harry to pop the question in a romantic locale.


Even after Meghan returned from the trip noticeably ringless, engagement theorists were undeterred.


They speculated that since Royal engagements are such complex affairs, Harry and Meghan were simply holding off on making the announcement until after they received approval from the necessary parties.



When Meghan met the Queen earlier this month, many took it as a sign that she and Harry were seeking the monarch’s approval of their union.


So now that the entire royal hierarchy has supposedly signed off on the engagement, what’s the holdup?


Well, HarMar can’t just post a ring pic on Facebook like a couple of plebes.


They need to announce their engagement in an appropriately ceremonious setting.


And many believe the setting they’ve chosen is the Invictus Games, being held this week in Toronto.


It would be the perfect occasion to reveal their big news for a number of reasons:



For starters, Toronto is where Meghan films Suits, which means it’s served as her home-away-from home for the past several years.


The actress is American by birth, but it makes sense that Harry would prefer to make the announcement in a country that remains a part of the British Empire.


On top of that, the Invictus Games are near and dear to Harry’s heart, and the event has no more visible supporter.


Places and events that are of great emotional significance to Harry have played central roles in his romance with Meghan:


Harry went to Africa with his brother and father shortly after the death of his mother, and it’s widely believed that he proposed around the time of the twentieth anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing.


So it’s not hard to see why Royal obsessives believe a big announcement from Harry and Meghan is forthcoming.


Of course, Harry seems to enjoy being unpredictable, so really it’s anyone’s guess.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle: Ready to Announce Engagement?!

Earlier this month, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle traveled to Africa to celebrate her 36th birthday.


The continent is a place of temendous emotional significance to Harry, as he went on safari there with his father and brother shortly after the death of his mother, Princess Diana.


As Harry and Meghan engagement rumors have been circulating online for months, it was widely assumed that Meghan would return from Zambia with a massive rock on her finger.



But the couple returned home last week, and as just about every gossip outlet has breathlessly exclaimed, Meghan is not wearing a ring.


That doesn’t mean, however, that the couple hasn’t made concrete plans to get hitched.


Those who have studied the couple closely believe they’re simply holding off on going public with the news so as not to steal the spotlight from other royal events on the horizon.


First up is a somber anniversary.


August 31 will mark 20 years since Princess Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris.


Darren McGrady, the personal chef and close friend of Diana’s during the last years of her life, says Harry and Meghan may be holding off on announcing their engagement so as not to overshadow such an important date in his family’s history:



“I really do think they would have been engaged by now. But Princess Diana’s 20th anniversary this month in August, they can’t trump that,” McGrady tells the U.K.’s Hello magazine.


“November is the Queen and Prince Philip‘s platinum wedding anniversary so they can’t trump that either, whereas December they can announce the engagement and they’d be free to marry next year. I think that’s what’s going to happen,” he continues.


“Meghan can join the royals at Sandringham at Christmas because she’ll be engaged and part of the fold.”


Yes, lots of important events coming up on Harry’s social calendar, so it makes sense that he and Meghan would opt to hold off on sharing their big news.


As for Meghan, she’s got the big season finale of Suits coming up, in which … the main guy, um … gets his suit back from the dry cleaners?



We kid!


Meghan is successful in her own right, even if Suits has never been viewed outside of a bus station or hospital waiting room.


As for the impression that Ms. Markle is making on Harry’s inner circle, McGrady says that after some initial hesitance, the royals have embraced her with open arms.


“I think she’s amazing and I think Harry’s picked someone like his mum,” says McGrady.


“I think Kate (Middleton)’s beautiful, a hard worker, she looks stunning and she’s doing exactly what she needs to be doing, but I think Meghan is naturally like Diana.”


Wow. And dude slipped in a subtle Kate burn!


McGrady, if you’re ever looking to dive into the world of celebrity gossip, giving us a ring, old chap.
