Steve Burns, or as you’d know him, the OG host of “Blue’s Clues”, is launching a podcast this fall for all the adults who grew up watching him. It’s called “Alive” and episodes will be released on a weekly basis.  It’ll focus on “what it means to stay human in a complicated world.” Steve added that there will be LESS talking furniture, but there will still be some fun along the way.

There’s been a lot of chatter this week about the Season 36 finale of “The Simpsons” . . . because they KILLED OFF MARGE. Except they really didn’t. She only “died” in a flash-forward that takes place 35 years in the future. FYI, 35 years into the future, Lisa is the commissioner of the NBA . . . formerly the WNBA.  And the men’s league has become known as the MNBA. Bart is scamming senior citizens out of their Social Security checks.

‘’Top Gun: Maverick’’ and ‘’F1’’ director Joseph Kosinski tells GQ magazine that he envisions a crossover sequel between “Days of Thunder” and “F1”. “Right now, it’d be Cole Trickle [Cruise’s Days of Thunder character]. We find out that he and Sonny Hayes [Pitt’s character in the F1 movie] have a past. They were rivals at some point, maybe crossed paths… I heard about this epic go-kart battle on Interview with the Vampire that Brad and Tom had, and who wouldn’t pay to see those two go head-to-head on the track?” With a “Days of Thunder” sequel in development and “F1” tracking for a strong opening, the prospect of merging these two iconic stories and actors is gaining momentum.

It would be a vast understatement to say that a lot of things have happened regarding Facebook since the movie “The Social Network” came out in 2010, so “The Social Network Part 2” is in the works. It’ll be based on an exposé the “Wall Street Journal” did on Facebook.  There’s no word if Jesse Eisenberg is coming back to play Mark Zuckerberg.

After weeks of rumors and speculation, it seems safe to say that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are DONE…amicably.

Brad Pitt’s “F1” hits theaters this weekend.  And if it gets you jonesing for more good car racing movies, check out some of these:

Thomas Rhett tells People magazine that his four daughters are his toughest music critics. “It’s this funny balance of how much am I trying to impress my kids compared to how much am I trying to make sure that my fans actually like my music. My kids do like this, but my fans are really going to love this song or this album.”

Bailey Zimmerman tells Golf Monthly that golf has become his go-to hobby for unwinding and bonding with bandmates. “Dude, I’m hooked… It’s probably a place where I can unwind with my bandmates between and during tours… ‘Have fun, put your hat backwards,’ I’ve never been into traditional style anything.”
