Scribbles About News: Erin Hayes Fired from Kevin Can Wait, Colourpop Comes To Sephora, and More

Sooo I have a lot of news related stories that I have kind of strong opinions on right now... so I wanted to kind of talk about them.

Let's start with the one thing that has just been upsetting me so much this week... and that is that Erin Hayes was fired from Kevin Can Wait and is going to be replaced with Leah Remini. Reps from the show said that this was not based off of Hayes' performance... they just wanted to add Lea Remini to the show and they couldn't afford to have both her and Erin Hayes on. Erin Hayes said that she was shocked and sad about being fired... but has no resentment towards the cast and crew of Kevin Can Wait... she had a fun time with it and she was very mature. They also said that they are not trying to re-create The King of Queens by adding Remini to the show. Kevin Can Wait is still it's own thing... they're just re-tooling it... and they just happen to be keeping all of the people from The King of Queens on the show.

Ohhh and how are they handling the absence of Erin Hayes? They're killing her off... yeah. So season 2 will take place after her passing and it will be Kevin trying to move on.

So while I don't love Kevin Can Wait to begin with... I'm a fan of Erin Hayes. She's done a lot of guest spots on different shows, she's been on @Midnight on Comedy Bang Bang and she was on Parks and Recreation. She played the writer of Boosh, the snobby hipster blog that featured Ron Swanson's chair... she's one of my favorites. And I really loved that she had this show, she was soooo funny in it no matter how... un-charming... Kevin Smith can be. She's really good and I'm mad that she got fired. She made the show kind of bearable.

So that was kind of a bummer... but now the whole "concept" of the show is kind of changed. It was about a man with a wife and kids that was retired from the Police force... now it seems that he's back on the force and he's dating his partner- that hated him on her appearance last season... it's just a "shake up" that kind of makes the show totally different and I just don't think it'll work. I liked The King of Queens a lot... I'm usually pro- Kevin James... I find the misogyny in his movies and Adam Sandler's movies problematic... but I don't think I'd go so far as to say he's a misogynist... but I can't with this! That just sucks.

And it isn't like this is the best show in the world... I would usually maybe put it on for my grandmother... but I'm not watching it at all now. That just sucks. My family is all pretty upset about this... for no real reason even because we don't even really watch the show. Lol.

Some more TV News, ABC did put out a statement saying that they didn't cancel Tim Allen's show because of Politics... which was obvious in my opinion. I checked the facebook things and everyone was saying "I'M SO UPSET ABOUT THIS! I DIDN'T WATCH THE SHOW BUT IT WAS CLEARLY BECAUSE OF TRUMP!"... which is kind of exaggerating only in the fact that I used caps locks... people were actually saying "I didn't watch the show" while questioning why the show was cancelled. Tim Allen was actually getting paid a lot of money for the show... and although the ratings were high... they were never that high and ABC didn't produce the show... which can get expensive. The Mindy Project is another show that wasn't produced by the network that it aired on- so Fox had to pull it from the schedule because while it got Critical Praise... it didn't get the ratings they needed and it had an ensemble cast that can get relatively expensive. So keep that in mind. If they wanted to keep the show and get rid of the politics... they would probably get Tim Allen off the show and replace him with a less opinionated celebrity- Ray Ramono maybe? And they would just continue the show without any mention of politics being part of the plot point of the show. They wouldn't just cancel a show for politics... so yeah. Not the best show... but it's entertaining enough. It's on in syndication now and on Netflix if you really want to check it out... but there are probably funnier shows you could watch.

In sad news... Chris Pratt and Anna Faris have announced a separation. Which SUCKS! I loved them as a couple... I'm happy that they are working things so that they can co-parent their sons and... idk. I feel like all of my favorite Celebrity Couples split up... but it happens. It's hard for Celebrities to split up... and regular people... but it happens and its part of life. I'm sure another celebrity couple will break up soon... usually it happens in groups so that there isn't so much attention on the couple.

In happy news Colourpop is coming to Sephora!!!! Which was an unexpected amazing surprise. The only thing I'm skeptical about is that Colourpop has trouble keeping things in stock... so idk how they'll be able to keep up their own stock and Sephora's. Its only going to be in store at select Sephora's for now. They aren't increasing the prices. There are going to be Sephora Exclusives... what I'M guessing... don't quote me on this because I have no inside info... I'm guessing there will be more value sets where you can get $30+ worth of product in a set... that sounds like it'll fit in sephora pretty well. But it makes sense... Sephora probably wants to include more affordable and trendy brands. In the "fancy" mall near me they have a Sephora and an Ulta... and on Friday Nights you'll see a lot of teenage girls going to both stores... but it looked like more were actually BUYING from Ulta... so it makes sense for a trendy, youthful, affordable brand. Also I just LOVE Colourpop... so this is extremely exciting new for me. It is an affordable brand that I would say performs better than High End in a lot of ways... their Liquid Lipsticks are my favorite.

So that is it! Hope you guys enjoy this! It's a little ranty... but I am in a good mood... just things upset me.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
