So sad to hear that Chef Anne Burrell, the co-host of “Worst Cooks in America,” passed away today… at 55!
Loved watching that, and, actually, all her Food Channel appearances with my girls. My heart goes out to her friends and family. She will be missed.

I recently attended the world premiere of Blood on the Bleachers with the director, Chase Dudley, and quite a few members of his cast. In a genuinely touching moment, on his big night, Chase took time to recognize indie producer Michael Mahal, who recently passed away. cosplayian.com/post/7856505...

When I was a teen, Frank Darabont and Chuck Russell sent me a signed #TheBlob script after I had sent a loving review of their remake to Fangoria. I have treasured this for years, and this weekend at @texasfrightmare.bsky.social, I was able to add Shawnee Smith and Kevin Dillon's signatures to it.
