TV Cartoon News, take 1: VINCE VAUGHN --whom you may remember from movies like "Wedding Crashers," "Rudy," "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," and more-- is putting together a new animated comedy series for Fox, working with his sister, Victoria, and Peter Billingsly’s Wild West Picture Show production company as executive producers. No word yet on what the series will be about, other than it'll be animated.
TV Cartoon News, take 2: Look for SAMUEL L. JACKSON and RYAN REYNOLDS to star in an animated series at Quibi called (careful!!!) “Futha Mucka.” They've worked together before --they were both in “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” but in the new series, Samuel will be the voice of Ryan's primary caregiver. And in case you were wondering, there's also a sequel to “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” coming next year, called “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.”
TV Cartoon News, take 3: If you're tired of all those JOHN CENA "Experian" commercials with the bull, you'll be glad to know he'll be doing (wait for it) the voice of one of the characters in an adult animated series called “Dallas and Robo” for the SYFY network. Cena and KAT DENNINGS will play space truckers on the show, with Kat playing a foul-mouthed ex-stock car racer and Cena will be her robotic buddy on the interstellar big rig. The show is set to premiere Saturday, Aug 08 in SYFY's late-night animation block.
Fast food: Krispy Kreme is bringing back its fan-favorite Reese’s doughnuts beginning tomorrow (Friday, Aug 24), with one of the three with enough votes (and hitting social media) being put on their permanent menu. They are:
- The Classic: A doughnut filled with REESE’S Peanut Butter Kreme, dipped in HERSHEY’S chocolate icing, topped with mini peanut butter chips and a drizzle of chocolate and REESE’S peanut butter sauce..
- Reese’s Outrageous Doughnut: A chocolate Original Glazed doughnut dipped in HERSHEY’S chocolate icing, topped with Mini REESE’S Pieces and a drizzle of salted caramel and REESE’S peanut butter sauce.
- Reese’s Original Filled Chocolate Lovers Doughnut: A chocolate Original Glazed doughnut filled with REESE’S Peanut Butter Kreme, dipped in HERSHEY’S chocolate icing and topped with REESE’S peanut butter sauce.
PS: No word on calories for each yet on Krispy Kreme's website, but their regular chocolate covered, creme filled doughnut has 210 calories (100 from fat) and 85 mg of sodium (just 4-percent of your daily requirement).
