Five People That Had A Worse Weekend Than You: Cancelled Shows And No Changing Channels

======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ==== ======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ====

As I sit here on Sunday night, things are pretty good. The Celtics won, I don’t have to go to work tomorrow (because I have no work to do to!) and I’m headed to NYC this week for a job interview. So while I’d feel a bit better if I had a steady income, I really can’t complain. But you know who can? These people.

Offset

Rapper Offset, aka Cardi B’s baby daddy, looking pretty good on the red carpet at last week’s Met Gala:

But the week took a decidedly bad turn when Offset’s chain that was stolen from the suite he was sharing with Cardi at Lower East Side hotel SIXTY LES. The piece, worth $150k, was the only thing taken from the room. The necklace, which has about 60 big diamonds set in gold, was last seen on a coffee table in the hotel room – because that seems like the logical place to leave something worth the equivalent of a college education.

TV Fans

With the May flower comes TV cancellations, and thus far, some doozies have been announced. Luckily for fans of Brooklyn 99 and Last Man Standing, those shows have been rescued by NBC and FOX, respectively.

Here’s the list of those that haven’t been so lucky:

FOX: The Exorcist, The Last Man on Earth, Lucifer, The Mick, New Girl, Shots Fired
NBC: The Brave, Great News, The Night Shift, Rise, Shades of Blue, Taken
CBS: 9JKL, Kevin Can Wait, Living Biblically, Me, Myself & I, Scorpion, Superior Donuts, Wisdom of the Crowd, Zoo
ABC: Alex Inc., The Crossing, Deception, Designated Survivor, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, Marvel’s Inhumans, The Mayor, The Middle, Once Upon a Time, Quantico, Scandal, Ten Days in the Valley

Some of these we already knew about before the season started (The Middle, New Girl, Scandal) but others are surprise bummer. If you need me, I’ll be mourning The Mick. [via UPROXX]

FDA Employees

Speaking of TV…the folks at the FDA are getting whole lot of one particular channel under a new rule at the agency.

An email that has obtained by CBSNews informing employees at the agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the decision to change the TV displays in the building from CNN to FOX, reads:

Subject: Attention: Regards about the news on the monitors in your locations

Good Morning, CBER Researchers,

Please excuse me for sending this out to your entire group via your listserv, but I was alerted by a member in your group and I wanted to let everyone know that the reason for the change from CNN to FOX.

The reason for the change is that a decision from the current administration administrative officials has requested that all monitors, under our control, on the White Oak Campus, display FOX news.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am unable to change any of the monitors to any other news source at this time.

Whatever political party you ascribe to, I think we can agree that not being able to change the channel to March Madness or the upcoming World Cup absolutely cruel. [via CBSNews]

This Guy

Have I been guilty of over-texting a guy I like? Certainly. But 31-year-old Jacqueline Claire Ades has taken it to a whole new level.

After being arrested last week in Arizona for stalking and threatening a man she met on a dating website, it was reported that Ades sent the guy 65,000 texts after one date. Of course, that’s not what got her arrested. Among her transgressions:

• Sending text messages such as “Don’t ever try to leave me…I’ll kill you…I don’t wanna be a murderer!” and “Oh, what I would do w/your blood…I’d wanna bathe in it”
• Regularly sitting in her car outside the guy’s house
• Breaking into the guy’s house and taking a bath
• Going to his work and claiming to be his wife

It was the last one that landed her in jail. (FYI – she was also arrested for the tubtime incident but was released) During a jailhouse interview, Ades stated: “I felt like I met my soul mate and everything was just the way it was. I thought we would do what everybody else did, but that’s not what happened.” Additionally, according to People, when asked why she sent the victim thousands of texts, Ades said, “Because it made me find out all my information…Loving him selflessly brought me his information. Because everybody just wants to take. But if you just give and you don’t stop giving, you will all of a sudden receive a lot.”

And her response to being asked if she was crazy? “No, I am the person that discovered love.”

God, I hope they both had iPhones or else her overage bill is going to be the crazy thing here. [via People]
