From Kristen Wiig to Fake Richard Nixon: The ‘Palm Royale’ Finale, Explained
Apple TV+It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment in the season finale of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale where the realization happens that, “Oh, this is not like any finale I’ve seen before.” But when it does, it practically crashes down on you like an anvil from the sky.(Warning: Spoilers ahead for the season finale of Palm Royale.)In the comedy/drama/soap opera/Technicolor bonanza, Kristen Wiig plays Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons, a wide-eyed social climber in the 1969 Palm Beach, Florida, social scene—a scene which wants nothing to do with her. Still, she scrapes her way to the top of the high-society ladder, using various wheeling-and-dealings, moral barterings, scams, and a helluva lot of gumption as rungs. Her efforts pay off with what should be her dream come true: Much to the chagrin of Queen Bees Evelyn (Allison Janney), Dina (Lesie Bibb), and Norma (Carol Burnett), Maxine cohosts the event of the season, the Beach Ball, at the Dellacorte Manor.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Charlyne Yi Details Alleged Abuse on Set of Apple TV+ Series ‘Time Bandits’
Jason LaVerisCharlyne Yi has leveled some serious allegations against an unnamed actor they worked with on Taika Waititi’s upcoming Apple TV+ series Time Bandits, based on Terry Gilliam’s 1981 film of the same name. In an Instagram post from earlier this month, Yi said they were “not safe, supported, or protected,” on the Time Bandits set, as they were “physically assaulted multiple times by an actor, as well as psychologically abused.”Yi, known for roles in comedy films like Knocked Up, This Is 40 and Always Be My Maybe, goes on to say that the powers that be kept them from seeking any kind of accountability from this person. “I was gaslit by coworkers, producers, and HR,” they wrote, adding, “They debated my life, gaslit me, told me to feed my abusers’ ego… to submit to my abuser so he wouldn’t physically assault me anymore.”Yi, a voice actor, writer, and comedian who’s appeared films like This Is 40 and Knocked Up, and voiced characters in Cartoon Network series like Steven Universe and We Bare Bears, hasn’t named the subject of their accusations yet, but has a history of making public accusations against stars on social media.Read more at The Daily Beast.
