3 Ice Cubes

**"WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED ME WITH A FREE COPY OF THE BLU-RAY I REVIEWED IN THE BLOG POST. THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE MY OWN."** The Banana Splits are not what they used to be when we were kids so get ready, my friends! I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I put on 'The Banana Splits Movie' but knew from the preview there would be some killer giant stuffed animals who sing. I was not wrong. This film is probably the 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' of 2019, if it were to be compared to any stellar horr-com B-list film out there...and it's just as unexpectedly funny. This is where TBS truly shines. Harley gets the chance to see his favorite show, The Banana Splits, live for his birthday, along with his mom, dad, and older brother. None of his friends like the show because they think it's for little kids so his mom invites Zoe, who doesn't even like him, to go. What could go wrong at the happiest show on Harley's spe...

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com When Bethenny Frankel announced she was leaving 'RHONY, ' she left fans and co-stars stunned. But, it was a tweet she sent out this morning that sent even more shockwaves through the Bravoverse. "I had to go since I'm the only one that is actually married...that's how crazy this ride is," the SkinnyGirl mogul tweeted. Immediately, heads were spinning, wondering if Frankel had married boyfriend, Paul Bernon. But, her ex, Jason Hoppy's lawyers were quick to shut all rumors down, stating he and Frankel are still legally married. So, if we are going to get technical, yes, Bethenny is the only housewife in the New York franchise who is married. But, is she performing traditional housewife duties? No. So, way to try to stay relevant but end up sounding like an idiot. Good luck, B.

  photo courtesy of bravotv,com We just announced there was a new housewife coming to the 'RHONY' franchise, per Luann de Lesseps. Today, we are sad to say one of the OG's is leaving and we are not happy about it! Bethenny Frankel , who has been a staple from seasons 1-3 then 7-11, announced she will be departing the series to focus on other endeavors. "I have decided to leave the 'Housewives' franchise to explore my next chapter. It's time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women," Frankel shared with Variety today. As shocked as fans of the show, set to start filming season 12 around Labor Day, were at this announcement, Frankel's co-stars seemingly had no idea this was the path she was taking.   "I'm only disappointed that Bethenny did not inform her costars that she's not com...

Let's do this! - Karamo Brown ('Queer Eye') - Lamar Odom (basketball player/Khloe Kardashian's ex/big question mark) - Hannah Brown ('The Bachelorette' contestant) - Kel Mitchell (actor/comedian) - James Van Der Beek (actor/ 'Dawson's Creek') - Sean Spicer (former White House babbler) - Christie Brinkley (model) - Lauren Alaina (singer/ 'American Idol' contestant) - Ray Lewis (former NFL-er) - Kate Flannery (star of 'The Office') - Ally Brooke (singer) - Mary Wilson (member of 'The Supremes') Welp, I am half impressed and half shaking my head.

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com It has been a few seasons since the 'RHONY' has cast a new housewife. In fact, the last newcomer was Tinsley Mortimer in season nine because Barbara Kavovit was just a "friend of" for season 11, not holding an apple. For season 12, rumors were swirling OG housewives Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps would be out on their behinds and after the reunion, no one was seemingly going to miss the high horse Countess. Now, this same Countess revealed the truth behind the cast shake-ups...and it looks like it has nothing to do with her or the Singer Stinger. Barbara will not be returning, though it was de Lesseps who introduced her to the cast. Luann spoke with Michelle Collins on SiriusXM to spill the tea and dispel other casting rumors, most prominently that her ex-husband Tom D'Agostino's ex-girlfriend, Missy Pool, was in the running to join the series per good friend, Ramona. Yes, as you may have seen over the past few sea...

photo courtesy of mylifetime.com Last season, fans of 'Married At First Sight' were screaming at the television for Kate to break up with Luke. He was cruel and manipulative and we were tired of her whining and crap. By the end, we wanted them both to get therapy. Now, we are onto the new season and to say the men have outdone Luke is huge but true. We will put aside Greg and Keith, who are just genuinely loving guys, at least they seem to be good men with hearts. But then there's Matt and Jamie...experts, my ass. Jamie is paired up with Elizabeth who is eclectic and fiery. Yet, there is something we have grown to just accept about her. She is out of the box and Jamie is so rigid, he is lucky he has someone like her. Sadly, he is so disrespectful. He pokes and prods on her emotions and when he does not get what he wants, he throws around divorce. He is cruel and if he was a child of ours, he would be disowned. When he recently called Elizabeth a materialistic c**t for ...

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com Denise Richards was a newcomer for season nine of 'RHOBH' and longtime fans were super skeptical of her arrival. However, the skepticism did not last long as she quickly became a fan favorite with her down-to-earth behavior, don't-give-a-crap attitude, extreme openness, and hot husband. There was this whole new side to Denise and she was a pleasant treat for viewers so it is no surprise she is returning for another season, the upcoming season 10. She had fun filming, we had fun watching and apparently, Bravo is paying up. Radar Online reported Richards made one million dollars for her debut season on the show and will make four million dollars for four season, assuming she stays that long and the show does not get cancelled now that OG, Lisa Vanderpump has said her good-byes. The plan was to keep the figure a secret but it has since gotten out and the other housewives- Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Kyle Richards Umansky, Teddi Mellencam...

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com Many many many many housewives have come and gone in the now 14 seasons of the 'RHOC' which happens to be the original housewives franchise. But, with all of those crazy housewives, 22 to be exact, very few have left a long-lasting impact. Since they have exited, the only former members of the OC we have any interest in keeping tabs on are: Gretchen  Rossi (seasons 4-8); Alexis Bellino (seasons 5-8); Heather Dubrow (seasons 7-11); and Meghan King Edmonds (seasons 10-12). Sadly, we have actually become disinterested with some of the actual active cast but we won't name names. We are quite happy Ms. Woo Hoo (Vicki Gunvalson) was demoted to "friend of" but then we had to hear the pity party which was super annoying but alas, we have to find one redeeming quality about the show so we can continue to get our housewives fix. Luckily, Kelly Dodd has brought in newcomer, Braunwyn Windham-Burke and we are living for her. Finally, ...

We here at Three Ice Cubes are huge animal advocates, having spent years rescuing kittens and puppies in need. So, whenever we meet (honorable) rescuers who do not have the same reach as an ASPCA or a PAWS , we will do whatever we can to help. Recently, we met Linda and Barb, who tirelessly rescue and care for, what Rob Thomas would call "little wonders" and now, two new babies are ready to flee the nest. Meet Oreo and Ella, the most delightful kittens you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Mandi spent time with both of them last week and was instantly smitten. She reached down to pick up Oreo  (black and white, with a tad of a black mustache, adding to her sparkle) and she immediately jumped into her arms, just a warm, happy, positive spirit.  The same went for Ella, who was just as delightful and friendly. Two other cats were in the home and the all played well together, which is a huge plus. If Mandi did not already have her own kitties at home, Oreo would have...

  photo courtesy of fox.com For those of you 'Beverly Hills 90210' super fans who cannot wait until tomorrow night for the reboot, you probably have had the iconic theme song stuck in your head since it was announced the gang was coming back. Now, just a little more than 24 hours pre-game, FOX has released the opening credits and obviously, one cannot help but wonder how different the 'BH90210' beginning would look if Luke Perry had not passed away from a stroke. After all, he was on the receiving end of Jason Priestley's infamous original fist pump in the original opening sequence. Take a look: And now, we present the brand new opener for the show we really are not quite certain about. What we can say is Shannen Doherty looks amazing and are really baffled there is any talks of Jennie Garth or Tori Spelling ever becoming 'RHOBH' cast members. You can catch the Peach Pit gang Wednesday night at 8pm only on FOX.
