Update (4:15 p.m. Et): HBO has released the following statement in reaction to Wetterlund’s claims: “While this is the first time we have heard Alice Wetterlund comment on her experiences on “Silicon Valley,” we are disappointed to learn of her concerns. HBO and the producers have always taken very seriously our responsibility to create a welcoming and congenial environment for everyone who works on the show.”
Earlier: Alice Wetterlund appeared on HBO’s “Silicon Valley” during its second and third seasons as computer engineer and coder Carla Walton, which gave her the opportunity to share the screen with cast members Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch, and T.J. Miller, among others. The actress revealed on Twitter her time on the “Silicon Valley” set wasn’t always enjoyable (via Vulture). Wetterlund said Miller acted like a bully and made the experience of working on “Silicon Valley” feel like a nightmare.

Hey, Big Brother Fans. First, we just want to apologize. We previously ran a supposed leak list of 6 houseguests from a source on Twitter, and it turns out that none of those houseguests are actually any of the people that will be participating in the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother edition. It was a shock to us. The good news is the real cast actually looks a whole lot better than any of these fake leaked houseguests. As promised, CBS and the Big Brother producers finally revealed who will officially be participating on the first ever Celebrity Big Brother edition when it finally debuts on Wednesday night, February 7, 2018 at approximately 7 pm central standard time. They revealed it during the huge 2018 Grammy Awards tonight. There's a total of 11 houseguests to go over here. So, get comfortable.

Kendall Jenner cozied up in boyfriend Blake Griffin’s jacket after supporting the Los Angeles Clippers power forward’s stand-up comedy show for his Team Griffin Foundation in Hollywood Thursday night.
The 22-year-old model joined a crew of Griffin’s NBA friends for her boyfriend’s performance and went for a business casual look in a lightweight Tom Ford long sleeve turtleneck, Tom Ford check wide-leg trousers and slouchy Tom Ford over-the-knee boots.
Jenner seemed to get a little chilly by the time she slipped out of the venue with Griffin close behind and threw her boyfriend’s Ermenegildo Zegna...

Go90's satirical take on Espn's 30 for 30 franchise has returned. The 5th Quarter, a collection of absurd mockumentaries set in the world of sports, has launched its second season.
The 5th Quarter premiered last year with an episode that featured NBA star Blake Griffin as an oversized youth-league athlete. In the first episode of season two, Griffin shows up again; this time, he's a humble race walking champion (yes, it's a real sport) who goes toe to toe with his nemesis, played by Jimmy O. Yang of Silicon Valley fame.
The second season of The 5th Quarter, produced by Kids At Play, will run for ten episodes and will feature an impressive roster of guest stars, including Ed Asner, Lavar Ball, and Joel Embiid. A third season has already been confirmed and is expected to premiere in 2018. A trailer that covers both the current and upcoming run of episodes can...

Imagine if you combined Espn’s game of the week with your favorite “Saturday Night Live” skit. That gives you an idea of what to expect from the second season of “The 5th Quarter,” premiering on Verizon Media’s go90 platform Thursday. The comedy parody series chronicles “the greatest untold and untrue stories in sports history,” with emphasis on the word “untrue.” Where else would you find top NBA stars such as Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Cousins joining forces with Hollywood stars like George Lopez and Bella Thorne, and having Espn analysts Kenny Mayne and Michelle Beadle offering their commentary on the action?...

Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin almost made things officially official. The rumored couple came very close to making their red carpet debut together at the premiere of The 5th Quarter in Beverly Hills, Calif., last night. However, they decided to walk the carpet separately, posing for photos alone (tear). Kendall looked chic in a see-through, mesh leotard with a pair of baggy, ripped jeans, which she accessorized with a gold jacket, black boots and a high bun. Blake, on the other hand, looked dapper in a royal blue suit with a grey sweater and white tennis shoes. Though they didn't take pictures on the carpet, we're sure they met up once they got inside, considering they've been spending...

Kendall Jenner and boyfriend Blake Griffin nearly made their red carpet debut on Wednesday night.
The couple both attended the premiere of The 5th Quarter in Beverly Hills, California, each posing for photographers separately.
Jenner, 22, showed off some skin a mesh leotard — which she paired with ripped jeans, a beige blazer and peach-colored bra. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star accessorized her look with black boots and a gold cross necklace, while wearing her hair back in a loose bun to show off her smiling face and natural-looking makeup.

“Divergent” star Shailene Woodley is comfortable in fictional dystopian societies, not so much with the potential collapse of American democracy as we know it. In a new video released by Funny or Die, Woodley joins other A-listers who share her concerns about the “alternative constitution” that seems to have found its way into Donald Trump’s tiny hands. And Susan Sarandon, Constance Wu, Amber Heard, and Lizzy Caplan and many more are there to back her up.

As Woodley says in her introduction, the video is a response to the so-called “Muslim Ban,” Trump’s executive order barring citizens of seven primarily Muslim countries from entering the United States. With people tripping over themselves wondering if the ban is constitutional, Woodley and the gang have found the answer: “Historians have confirmed the existence of another constitution,...

In the final episode of go90’s sports mockumentary “The 5th Quarter,” Adam Pally (“The Mindy Project”) and Jim O’Heir (“Parks and Recreation”) guest star as defenders of the unfortunately named sports team, the Sheboygan Jews. The short form online comedy blends big name comedy talent with major athlete cameos to tell parody sports documentaries in a smart premise that is perfectly pitched for the growing online platform.
In addition to Pally and O’Heir, comedians like J.B. Smoove, Jerry O’Connell, Chris Parnell, and George Lopez all appear in the series. On the athlete side, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is joined by sportscasters Kenny Mayne and Ahmad Rashad, Los Angeles Clipper Blake Griffin, former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman, Olympic figure skating gold medalist Tara Lipinski, and many more.

Espn’s 30 for 30 has emerged as a documentary series of unparalleled quality; its films about sad, triumphant, and offbeat sports stories have allowed it to earn praise and pick up multiple awards. Like any great show, it is a ripe target for parody, and Go90 has capitalized on that opportunity. The mobile video platform is the home of The 5th Quarter, a comedy series that spoofs 30 for 30.
Anyone who has watched the hysterically funny HBO mockumentary Seven Days In Hell will know exactly the sort of comedy they should expect from The 5th Quarter. The Go90 series’ combination of absurd situations and deadpan delivery is an amusing one, and the first episode, which arrived on November 2nd, is a winner. It stars Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers as Clif Cliff, a seven-year-old boy who leads a youth squad to glory before he is disqualified when it is discovered he is actually 32-years-old.
