Rosie O’Donnell Joins the Cast of “Orange is the New Black”? 

0

Rosie O’Donnell is a huge “Orange is the New Black” fan. Probably a bigger fan than you.

The actress attended the OITNB premiere and said that the series is the best female ensemble ever on TV.

O’Donnell was so much of a fan of the series that she said she would even let the writers kill her off just so she could have a cameo on the series.

When reporters asked her if she would be a guest in the new season O’Donnell said “I begged. After I saw the first two episodes, I’m like ‘Who do I call?’ Let me get knifed in a shower — someone give me a part on this.”

Rosie O Donnell

I’m pretty sure that if O’Donnell went to prison she would take more than your cornbread.

Orange is the New Black is produced by Tilted Productions in association with Lionsgate Television, is based on the memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison written by Piper Kerman.

Producers held an open casting call in January for several roles in the movie. One of the most interesting casting notices was “SEEKING INMATES WITH SCARS, TATTOOS, UNIQUE/INTERESTING LOOKS.”

End of Net Neutrality? AT&T is Going to Buy DirecTV for $67 Billion Dollars

0

AT&T is on it’s way to communication domination.

The telephone company is looking to pay $67 Billion dollars for the purchase of DirecTV.

AT&T have reached an agreement for $95 a share for the satellite TV company, according to a recent report.

In the deal, AT&T will pay DirecTV shareholders $95 per share, valuing the satellite TV service provider at $48.5 billion. Including DirecTV’s debt, the total transaction’s value is about $67 billion.

The merger was approved by both companies’ boards Sunday, and is the latest example of consolidation in the TV-telecommunications sector. With steaming and wireless technology spreading and redrawing traditional service arrangements, telecoms are looking to gain customers and control content, while cable and satellite providers are looking to add product options and boost revenues [TheWrap].

This will allow for AT&T to provide television services through fiber-optics with U-Verse and satellite programming with DirecTV.

However, before the deal can go through it must be approved by federal regulators.

It is too early to tell how this will affect consumers, if the deal does go through. But, many argue that this will mark the end of net neutrality.
