No Comments on Kaley Cuoco Blasts Rose McGowan For Rudeness on ‘Charmed’ Set: ‘I Was …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Kaley Cuoco is doing the common celebrity thing where she’s revealing how another star was rude to her on set early in her career.

But unlike most actors who spill that sort of tea, Kaley is naming names!

Yes, during her recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Kaley spoke about being rudely snubbed by Rose McGowan during her time on “Charmed.”

Kaley joined the cast in the show’s eighth season, and she says she was not warmly greeted by Rose, who was one of the show’s three stars since day one.

“You know when you do so many things and you just forget about terrible moments? Imagine this: I’ve never met anyone. It’s their gallery shoot,” Cuoco said, adding:

“I’m the new girl. You’ve got Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, and Holly Marie Combs. I’ve never met them. Think about that. I’m joining their family photo, and I’m 21.”

Kaley went on to say that things were awkward with Rose right from the jump:

“I walk in that gallery, and I am so freaking nervous. It’s on their lunch break. They’re all in the corners eating,” she said, adding:

“I walk in, Alyssa Milano sees me, and – I will always tell this story about her – she got up, ran over to me, and welcomed me to the show, gave me the biggest hug in the world, so happy, so kind. I will never forget that.”

“Rose [was] maybe not as happy. I don’t know. I still don’t know if she likes me.

“I don’t know. But Alyssa was amazing. I was terrified. It’s a weird thing coming into a show with them in year eight, and I only did the one season.”

This is not the first time that Kaley has hinted at friction with Rose:

“I came into ‘Charmed’ really not thinking anything other than I got this cool job. It was intense and difficult,” she said in a recent interview with The Independent.

“There were a few people on that show that were wonderful to me, and there were a few people that weren’t. I remember them both very clearly.”

Well, we now know at least one person who falls into the “not wonderful” column.

These days, Cuoco is happily married to Tom Pelphrey, and she remains one of TV’s most in-demand actresses.

McGowan has yet to respond to her former co-star’s allegations of rudeness. But she has a reputation as a bit of a firebrand, so we wouldn’t be surprised if she claps back soon!

Facing teacher shortage, Alaska lawmakers urge waiver of $100,000 visa charge

NOTN- Alaska lawmakers are urging the federal government to waive steep new fees on H-1B visas for international teachers, warning that hundreds of classrooms could be left without educators if school districts are forced to absorb the added costs.

On Monday, the Alaska House Education Committee heard testimony on House Joint Resolution 39, which calls on the state’s congressional delegation to seek an exception to a recent presidential proclamation that imposes a $100,000 annual fee per H‑1B visa holder.

Many Alaska districts, particularly in rural and remote communities, rely heavily on international teachers to fill longstanding vacancies.

Rep. Alyse Galvin, the sponsor of HJR 39, told the committee the resolution is meant to give U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan and the rest of Alaska’s delegation a stronger hand in Washington, D.C.

“We are unfortunately without enough educators before students, and so we are facing a really tough time in recruitment and retention of teachers, especially in rural and remote communities. Many school districts across Alaska use international recruitment to fill our school vacancies, with cases of international hires filling 60% of the total teaching staff in western Alaska.” Said Galvin, “We heard last week about how hard they’re working to grow our own teachers, we are still facing this gap. Our H-1B teachers are very important to us, and with the most recent proclamation by the President, we now have an imposition of a $100,000 fee for any employer who is hiring H-1B, so any new ones coming in will be having to face that cost, at least our school districts will and this is insurmountable.”

Galvin said some districts also face deep budget holes, including an estimated $90 million deficit for the Anchorage School District alone and more than $200 million in combined shortfalls across the state. Many districts have already exhausted their reserves, she said.

The committee also heard from Dr. Lisa Parady, executive director of the Alaska Council of School Administrators, who said Alaska employs 573 international teachers, including 341 on H‑1B visas.

“Alaska is already facing a severe teacher shortage, at the start of the school year, we had at last report, 345, first day teacher vacancies, which equates to thousands of Alaska students beginning school without a teacher. Many Alaska districts, especially rural and remote communities, struggle annually to fill critical positions. International educators are not a luxury, without these educators, class sizes increase, course offerings shrink, student services are reduced, student outcomes suffer.” Said Parady.

Some lawmakers used the hearing to argue that while HJR 39 may help in the short term, it does not solve deeper problems with Alaska’s teacher workforce.

Rep. Andi Story, who co-chaired the committee Monday, heard concerns about pay and retirement. Galvin noted that unlike other states, Alaska does not have a single statewide pension system for all educators, and cited research that found Alaska’s average teacher salaries are roughly 30% lower than those in Washington state.

HJR 39 would not change the law, but would formally express the Legislature’s support for waiving or exempting Alaska school districts from the new visa fees.

Zendaya’s Mom Speaks After Tom Holland ‘Secret Wedding’ Report

No Comments on Zendaya’s Mom Speaks After Tom Holland ‘Secret Wedding’ Report

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is this confirmation … or a debunking?

Shortly after Law Roach announced that Zendaya and Tom Holland secretly married, Zendaya’s mom weighed in.

But different people have different reads on what she’s saying.

Is this disapproval? Is this confirmation? Or, as some wonder, is she in on a joke?

As always, Tom Holland and Zendaya’s easy chemistry was off the charts while promoting ‘No Way Home.’ (Image Credit: IMDB)

What does THIS mean?

On March 1, celebrity stylist Law Roach spoke from the red carpet of the Actor Awards.

There, he teased that Zendaya and Tom Holland’s wedding had “already happened.”

It was a cheek response following rampant speculation about the extremely attractive, beloved couple’s status.

(Zendaya has been seen wearing a gold band on her finger, which can signify marriage.)

This is where the presumed mother of the bride, Chlaire Stoermer, weighed in.

Claire Stoermer, mother of Zendaya, stirred a little confusion and debate with her comment on Law Roach’s declaration that Zendaya and Tom Holland were secretly married

Claire simply shared a short clip of Law’s red carpet commentary to her Instagram Story.

Her only addition was to write: “The laugh. …”

And, of course, to add her own laughing emoji.

Some believe that this is to indicate that she’s laughing alongside Law with excitement.

Others, however, believe that she’s suggesting that Law’s statement is less than factual — that this is trolling.

This is a very quiet couple

Tom and Zendaya first met on the set of the first of the MCU-adjacent Spider-Man films.

Homecoming released in 2016.

Even so, they have remained exceptionally quiet about their romance.

Where some co-stars drum up fake romance speculation in order to promote a film (very successfully, we might add), they have gone another route.

Quiet about dating — only confirming the romance in 2021. Quiet about their engagement. And now … ?

It seems likely that Claire would would to respect her daughter (and possible son-in-law) and their wishes.

Maybe Law dished on their wedding because the couple no longer cares who knows.

Or maybe it was an accidental slip.

(And, again, it may have been an instance of trolling that took off like wildfire.)

Regardless, Claire wouldn’t necessarily want to add certainty to an ambiguous situation unless her daughter wants people to know.

Why so secretive?

Throughout history, some in the entertainment industry have been secretive about romance because their relationship was illegal or scandalous. Even today, some actors remain semi-closeted.

On the flip side, others have kept flings a secret because they happened during preexisting relationships. This is often called “cheating,” and is generally frowned upon in most cultures.

Tom and Zendaya aren’t in that situation. But they’ve watched other people’s romances melt away under the spotlight — and aren’t going to repeat those mistakes.

They’ve correctly pointed out that they don’t “owe” anyone answers about their personal lives. And they’re right!

The one downside to keeping quiet is that it allows others to make up their own narratives about you. But, if you can live with that, it can be very freeing to simply decline personal questions.

Whatever’s going on with them, we’re happy for them. And not only because they’re one of the hottest couples on the planet.
