‘The Office’ Reboot Isn’t What You Think It Is
NBCThe Office reboot has been officially greenlit at Peacock—but it’s not going to take place at the same Scranton Dunder Mifflin offices we’ve all come to know and love.Currently untitled, the reboot is set to follow the same documentary crew that “immortalized” Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the original Office series. This time, they’ve found a new subject: a dying historic Midwestern newspaper. With a publisher attempting to revive the brand and a handful of volunteer reporters keeping it afloat, the paper serves as the perfect topic for a documentary.Two big names have already been announced to be starring in the project. About Time star Domhnall Gleeson and The White Lotus hotel manager Sabrina Impacciatore have been cast, which raises some eyebrows. Sure, these two are great actors. But what do two Europeans have to do with a Midwestern newspaper?Read more at The Daily Beast.

Newsmax to James Comer: Everyone Thinks You Should Give It Up
NewsmaxRep. James Comer (R-KY) has spent weeks defending his long stalled impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden to questioning conservative minds. On Tuesday night, even Newsmax had to state the obvious: Everyone thinks he’s lost the plot.Comer was appearing on Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt Tonight, where host Rob Schmitt noted that Comer has apparently “laid out, you know, so much evidence” of alleged corrupt acts by the Biden family, including millions of dollars allegedly stemming from Russia and China. Still, Schmitt said, that hasn’t stopped Comer’s critics from wondering why the case hasn’t left the conservative spectrum.“[Biden’s] supporters and your detractors are out there saying that, that your case, you know, the influence-peddling cases has hit kind of a wall, and it’s leveled off,” Schmitt said. “What what do you say to that, that criticism?”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Steve Albini, Iconic Rock Producer for Nirvana and The Pixies, Dies at 61
Jim Bennett/WireImage/GettySteve Albini, a legend of rock n’ roll who produced albums for Nirvana, P.J. Harvey, and The Pixies, as well as his own music, has died at 61. He suffered a heart attack Tuesday night, a staffer at Electrical Audio, the recording studio he founded in the late ’90s, confirmed to The Daily Beast.Alongside his storied producing career, Albini also performed with his band Shellac. Shellac was preparing to release its first album since 2014 just next week and had scheduled tour dates for later this year. Albini’s influence on alternative rock—particularly grunge, post-punk, and its ilk—in the mid- to late ’90s can’t be overstated. While his own bands, including Shellac and Big Black, which he fronted in the 1980s, gained esteem, it’s his work as a record producer—or rather as an engineer, his preferred title—that cemented his legacy. His credits are lengthy and arguably unparalleled: In 1993 alone, Albini worked on Nirvana’s In Utero, P.J. Harvey’s Rid of Me, and Jawbreaker’s 24 Hour Revenge Therapy—each one ranking among the greatest albums ever made. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Queen Camilla Is the Real Reason King Charles Won’t See Harry, Friend Says
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/GettyKing Charles decided not to meet his son Prince Harry in London this week because of Harry’s “cruel” remarks about his wife, Queen Camilla, in his memoir, Spare, a friend of Charles and Camilla has told The Daily Beast.Observers had thought that father and son could have met today, Wednesday, especially as both had events within just a couple of miles of each other—a ceremony to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games for Harry, and the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the year for Charles. But Harry released a statement saying Charles was too busy to see him, with the palace a couple of hours later saying Charles was making Prince William the head of Harry’s old regiment. Harry’s U.K. trip has fast become a snub pile-up.In Spare, Harry said Camilla “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar,” and described her as “dangerous.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
