Not only did Todrick Hall NOT win "Celebrity Big Brother" (as predicted), he lost almost unanimously to Miesha Tate. And he clearly wasn't in the mood to discuss it because he cancelled his post-show interviews. Meanwhile Miesha, third-place finisher Cynthia Bailey, and America's Favorite Houseguest Carson Kressley attended their post-show interviews with no problem. Todrick's rep wouldn't respond to questions about why he pulled out of the chats and whether he planned to reschedule. But the Twitterverse has blasted him for the last-minute decision. As one person put it, "29 days of talking about himself nonstop, and now he decides he doesn't want to."

I told you Rosie O'Donnell posted a Tik Tok about her embarrassing encounter with "Quantico" star Priyanka Chopra when she mistakenly thought Priyanka's dad was Deepak Chopra. Then, during Rosie's apology, she called her "the Chopra wife," instead of by her name. Had to know that was going to come back and bite her. Priyanka posted her thoughts on the matter in an Instagram story, according to People, writing, "I have never taken myself so seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that matter. But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly." She added, "Not all Chopra's are related to the great Deepak, just as not all Smith's are related to the legendary Will Smith. We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not be referred to as 'someone' or 'wife,' especially in a sincere apology."

"Dancing with the Stars" pro Maks Chmerkovskiy is getting a firsthand look at war as it unfolds in Ukraine, and he's posting videos showing what was going on in Kyiv as Russia invaded Ukraine. He was filming from a hotel balcony and said that he was about to go into a bomb shelter because "s***'s going down," adding, "I think that in 2022 civilized world, this is not the way we do things." He called on Russians to speak up because, the way he sees it, this isn't the result of a consensus of opinions but rather "This is all one man's ambition."
In the meantime, Joy Behar is coming off as extremely tone-deaf for her comments on the Ukraine invasion. She said on "The View" yesterday as co-star Sunny Hostin was discussing the ramifications of the war – including the casualities and potential refugee crisis in Europe – "I'm scared of what's going to happen in western Europe, too. You plan a trip, you want to go there, I've wanted to go to Italy for four years and I haven't been able to make it because of the pandemic and now this. It's like, what's gonna happen there?"

Colin Farrell plays The Penguin in the latest Batman movie, and he was in disagreement with the studio about how to portray the famous villain. In the DC Comics universe, Penguin always has a cigarette in his mouth. Apparently Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, won't allow on-screen smoking. Colin said, "I fought valiantly for a cigar. I even at one stage said, 'I can have it unlit! Just let me have it unlit.' They were like, 'No.' [As if] a bunch of 12-year-olds are going to start smoking Cuban cigars because [of The Penguin]." Well, yeah. He's so worried about properly portraying his character, all the while you've got Robert Pattinson playing the most goth version of the hero you could ever imagine.
