    Jennifer Aniston To Star In Apple Series Inspired By Jennette McCurdy’s
    ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’ Memoir  (July 1)

    https://deadline.com/2025/07/jennifer-aniston-jennette-mccurdy-im-glad-
    my-mom-died-morning-show-1236446418/

    ["'I’m Glad My Mom Died' is a heartbreaking and funny recounting of
    Jennette McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor while dealing with
    her overbearing, domineering mother. The dramedy will center on the
    codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s
    show, and her narcissistic mother (Aniston) who relishes in her identity
    as 'a starlet’s mother.'"]

    Does Aniston really want to be associated with this particular part?!

    One guest shot in something I’ve never heard of (SIGHT UNSEEN) in 2024
    Five guest shots in GOOSEBUMPS in 2023
    15 episodes of VIRGIN RIVER ending in 2023
    One guest shot in something else I’ve never heard of. (THE POWER) in 2023
    And that takes us all the way back to the last Aurora Teagarden in 2022.

    Looks like her status is the same as the late great Eva LaRue. Basically
    she retired at 50. Shanks seems all but retired as well.

    I'm not much of a fan of giving private companies tax money but something
    needs to be done. I had no idea how barren Hollywood has become. It's
    basically just the corporate headquarters of the movie studios now. Hardly any actual movies are being made here anymore. The big soundstages on the Warner and Fox lots are sitting mostly empty now.

    They say it was the one-two punch of Wuhan Flu and the strike but production has completely fled from California. Thinking about it, pretty much the only show or movie I can think of that features L.A. lately is COUNTDOWN and
    BALLARD on the Primes.
