Ashley Jacobs to Thomas Ravenel: This S–t Is Why We Broke Up!

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Southern Charm fans were alarmed to see Thomas Ravenel slam Ashley Jacobs on Instagram. When a concerned fan asked Ashley what it’s all about, she responded as delicately as possible. Meanwhile, Thomas is looking at a lawsuit from Nanny Dawn on top of his upcoming criminal trial. “Why is Thomas all of [the] sudden turning on you?” a fan asked Ashley. “He filled your head with so much hate,” the fan points out. “But yet now he’s saying it’s all you.” “I would get as far as you can from that man,” the fan suggests. The fan explains: “He has proven time and time again that he is a narcissist and disgusting human being.” True enough. “Thomas and I aren’t together,” Ashley confirms in her reply. Curiously, she then adds: “I wish him the best though.” It’s always a relief to see confirmation that Ashley is done with Thomas. We hope that, this time, it is permanent. The fan’s question came as a response to Thomas’ now-deleted Instagram in which he totally disavowed Ashley. “Ashley Jacobd [sic] has been bad mouthing the mother of my children,” Thomas wrote. Thomas continued: “I totally disavow this horrendous behavior and will have nothing to do with her.” His November 11 post concluded: “I begged her over and over to no avail. So hateful. Hope she gets help.” That’s a hell of a statement to make about your ex, especially when you yourself were recently arrested over sexual assault allegations. In better news, Nanny Dawn is preparing to sue the bajeezus out of Thomas Ravenel. The civil suit, first reported by Fit News just a few days ago, follows the disgraced reality star’s arrest. Though sources are unclear on a number of details, the former nanny is said to be preparing to serve Thomas with the lawsuit “within the month.” The civil suit’s details may still be unknown, but it is very likely a lawsuit relating to her allegations that he sexually assaulted her. The suit may also touch upon the fact that she was fired and replaced a short time later. Ashley’s statement that she wishes Thomas the best, after everything, is perplexing at first. After all, not only is the man an accused rapist, he was notably unkind to Ashley. Southern Charm viewers and castmates saw him bait Ashley with unflattering comparisons to his ex, Kathryn Dennis. Thomas was also spotted throwing leftover food at Ashley, for which she blamed herself on the reunion special. But we have a guess as to why Ashley is so insistent that she harbors no ill will towards her ex. Maybe she just wants to feel at peace, and wants to avoid any feuding or conflict. Of course, if it’s peace that Ashley wants, one wonders why she decided to call out Kathryn Dennis. Recently, Ashley claimed that Kathryn is faking her sobriety as part of a stunt that Bravo paid for. At that same time, Ashley suggested that Kathryn has never been sober, that even her stint in rehab was a reality television ploy. We of course cannot speak to Kathryn’s sobriety, but we haven’t heard this accusation from anyone but Ashley. Also, Ashley and Kathryn’s explosive fights from the last season of Southern Charm don’t do wonders for Ashley’s credibility. Perhaps, with time, Ashley will manage the chill attitude towards Kathryn that she seems to have towards her ex. But let’s focus on the positives. It’s great that Ashley and Thomas are done, and we hope that it stays that way (this time). And Thomas is looking at fighting three court battles. One will be at his upcoming trial for sexual battery . One will be in civil court as Nanny Dawn sues him over the same incident. And another is his ongoing custody battle with baby mama Kathryn Dennis over their two preschool-aged children, Kensie and Saint.

Married at First Sight Season 8: Meet the Newlyweds!

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

New year. New set of single people who have somehow agreed to exchange vows with someone to whom they were introduced mere months prior. Indeed, Married at First Sight Season 8 premieres on January 1 at 10/9pm on Lifetime and the network has released promotional photos of all four couples at the center of this controversial reality series. Which will defy the odds and remain together, despite the unusual way in which they met? And which will go the way of this Season 7 couple and file for divorce shortly after filming ends? We don’t know yet. But we do know a little bit about each pairing. Let’s get to know them a bit better, shall we? Let’s start with  Will Guess and Jasmine McGriff : McGriff, is 29 years old and was was raised in a traditional household with very traditional gender roles. According to Lifetime, she hails from a tight family; she owns her own home; she and is on the verge of a big work promotion. Guess is q 37-year old who was raised by his mother. He thinks marriage is the overall goal for one to achieve in life — and he’s emotionally, financially and mentally prepared to find his partner. Will is one of the few single friends among his peer group, yet he enjoys spending time with the married twosome because he gains insight into what’s ahead for him. And now for  Luke Cuccurullo and Kate Sisk : Cuccurullo’s parents got divorced when he was just a child. Although he remains close with his mom, he rarely talks to his dad. Due to his upbringing, the engineer tells Lifetime he determined to find “The One.” Oh, and he’s an avid cook and also loves going outside of his comfort zone. As for Sisk? She comes from a tight-knit family with two brothers — and her parents divorced just last year. Still healing from this split, Sisk is pessimistic about love… but remains hopeful that she’ll find the right person for her at some point. Maybe now! And now for  Keith Dewar and Kristine Killingsworth : Keith was mainly raised mainly by his grandmother and is considered a gentleman who yearns to find a partner that is his equal, someone willing to compromise and support him. Dewar is a patient-care technician who specializes in kidney dialysis and adores being a rock for his sick patients. Killingsworth’s parents, meanwhile, have been married for more than 35 years, through many ups and just as many downs. She’s a real estate agent and she hopes to find the “gold standard,” just her parents managed to do. Killingsworth says she’s very comfortable in her own skin and can’t wait to find a man who is similar. And this brings us to  AJ Vollmoeller and Stephanie Sersen : Vollmoeller is a New York native and also an only child; his parents recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary this year after meeting in high school. He works as the President and CEO of Future Force Talent Connection and has mostly accomplished his professional goals. However, he’s eager to find a partner to share in his success. An avid foodie and adrenaline junkie, Vollmoeller failed to accomplish this task online and is taking a chance with Married at First Sight after being recommended by a friend. For her part, Sersen is similarly inspired by her parents’ three-decade-long marriage and wants to find a man like her dad. At 35 years old, she’s ready to settle down and start a family. This is someone who loves to travel and hopes she finds a soulmate with whom she can share experiences the globe.

Britney Spears: Dying to Get Engaged to Sam Asghari! [Report]

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Britney Spears’ frustration over her costly new child-support agreement with Kevin Federline has been eclipsed by gratitude. She and her loved ones are a live and safe. In these wildfires, so many others cannot say the same. Evacuating her Thousand Oaks home has reportedly made her eager to stop taking things for granted — and to get engaged. HollywoodLife reports that the horrific wildfires in California have spurred Britney to action — and possibly to get engaged. The insider says that, in the aftermath of the Thousand Oaks fire that forced Britney to evacuate her home, she doesn’t want to “waste a moment.” “Britney has been very shaken up by the fires,” the source explains. She had to evacuate her home on November 13 as the raging fire tore through, consuming entire towns. All told, the California fires have left more than 80 dead, and there are at least 1,000 people missing or unaccounted for. Britney knows this. “She’s feeling so lucky to be out of danger with her family,” the insider reveals. Britney and her loved ones are safe and she’s really living up to the title of one of her best songs — “Lucky.” “But,” the source notes. “It’s still very emotional for her.” Of course! This news has been heartbreaking for us all. “She’s going to be making a lot of donations to help the victims,” the insider claims. (That would be wonderful, but let’s not put words in someone’s mouth or make promises on their behalf) “And,” the source continues. “She’s making a point to let everyone in her life know how much she loves them.” That includes her wonderful sons , Sean Preston and Jayden. But they’re not the only ones she loves. … She and her hunky boyfriend Sam Asghari are extremely close. “She and Sam are already like two peas in a pod,” the insider affirms. That much has been evident to us all based upon their activity on social media. They were already close, the source says, “but this tragedy has made her even more aware of how lucky she is.” He’s a younger, outrageously good-looking fitness model. She’s gorgeous and she’s also Britney Freaking Spears . They’re both lucky. “And,” the insider continues, Britney can’t stop thinking about “how very much she loves him.” This isn’t just a relationship built on branding or lust or mutual convenience, folks. It sounds like love. “She knows she wants to spend her life with him,” the source reports. Initially taken in by his overpowering hotness on the set of her music video for “Slumber Party,” she’s been captivated by who he is as a person and partner. “He’s her Prince Charming,” the insider characterizes. “And,” the source explains. “The fires this week have reminded her how very precious life can be.” That makes a whole lot of sense. Nothing makes you remember to make it clear how much you love people like the experience of losing a loved one. Now more than ever, Britney is conscious of how quickly things can change for the worst. “And,” the insider says. “It’s made her really focus on not wasting one moment.” Apparently, she’s looking to take things to the next level. “Britney’s more eager than ever to get engaged to Sam,” the source reports. (Insert the obligatory joke about how a lot of people want to get engaged to Sam Asghari) The insider says that Britney wants to make things official soon “and she wants it to happen over the holidays this year.” As with any rumors of an engagement or looming engagement, we’ll take this report with a grain of salt. Obviously, Britney and Sam are a beautiful, loving couple. We don’t know that they’re looking to change anything about their relationship. What’s the rush? And, given how recently Britney was reminded of the staggering financial cost of past marriages (thanks, Kevin Federline), she may not be in a hurry. We’re not suggesting that Sam Asghari is a mistake. We’re just saying that he and Britney can take thier time and enjoy themselves.

Javi Marroquin Relationship Timeline: Did He Get Lauren Pregnant While Still Boning Briana?!

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Teen Mom franchise has introduced us to some pretty sleazy baby daddies over the years. And while Javi Marroquin may never be on par with David Eason or Adam Lind, he seems desperate to prove that he's capable of truly sinister behavior. As you may have heard, Javi's fiancee, Lauren Comeau, welcomed her first child last week. And the timing of the birth has raised some interesting questions — and a few accusations — regarding Marroquin's recent romantic past. Take a look: 1. The Happy Couple These days, Javi and Lauren are living out a fantasy of domestic bliss with a house in the suburbs and a new baby boy. 2. Playing House? But is Javi really ready to settle down this time? Or will this be another failed attempt from Kailyn Lowry’s ex-husband? 3. Javi the Player After all, within weeks of when Lauren got pregnant, Javi had been involved with two of his exes. 4. Overlap? The question is, was he sleeping with anyone else at the time that he got Lauren pregnant? 5. Bri on the Case Briana, for one, seems certain that Javi was sleeping around on Lauren while she was carrying his child. 6. The Timeline Bri’s got a compelling case, but we decided to break her claims down to try and determine just how worried Lauren should be about her man’s wandering eye. View Slideshow

Meghan Markle to Prince Harry: Your Family Is Smothering Us!

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are happily married and expecting, and the Royal Family has never looked so happy . But Harry and Meghan aren’t entirely content and are itching to leave their current residence. Not only are their accommodations too small, but Harry wants to step out of his brother’s shadow. RadarOnline   reports that Harry and Meghan are eager to move. “Harry and Meghan want to move,” an insider reveals. They know that their family is growing, the source says, “and need more space.” We know that it’s tempting to claim that they’re being greedy or absurd by demanding more space. But as we describe their current residence — Nottingham Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace — you’ll understand why. “But,” the insider says. “They don’t want to live next door to William and Catherine.” We so often tend to imagine the royal family living within a massive, spacious palace. But Nottingham cottage is just that. From the description, it sounds like a starter home. Harry and Meghan’s current residence has only two bedrooms for a household that’s about to have three people. (Sure, newlyweds may share a bed, and many married couples continue to share a bed, but they’ll want a guest room) The cottage also has two reception rooms — so, you know, normal rooms. That’s fine. RadarOnline describes the cottage as having one single bathroom. That’s barely enough for two people. They need to upgrade. Another impetus for their upcoming move is so that Harry and William can take a step apart. “They are planning a formal division of their joint royal household,” the source notes. “Which is based at Kensington Palace.” “And,” the insider continues, they are planning “the creation of separate courts to reflect their increasingly different responsibilities.” We’ve reported on this previously. The brothers have grown up and don’t want to step on each other’s toes. “The brothers have leant on each other and looked after each other since their mother died,” the source affirms. “But now they have their own families,” the insider explains. “They no longer rely on each other as before.” Now that William and Harry are adults, they don’t need to be literal neighbors. “They will soon have separate offices and separate lives,” the source explains. “So it would make sense for them to live further afield.” And Harry and Meghan’s options are broader than some might imagine. “There is no reason why Prince Harry and Meghan’s London home has to be at Kensington Palace,” the insider notes. “There are plenty of other options,” the source adds. “Including,” the insider says. “Using their own money to buy their own place.” Of course, some believe that it’s really Meghan and Kate who are tearing the princes apart . “Kate and Meghan live very different lives,” the source notes. Certainly. They’re both Duchesses, but they are of course different people. “And,” the insider continues. “That is likely to become more marked over time.” In other words, Meghan and Kate socialize differently, focus upon different charitable endeavors, and otherwise spend their time differently. There was a time when royal brides were permitted to do little save produce heirs. Good for them for living their own lives. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are hot topics. Unfortunately, some — like Meghan’s irredeemably vile sister, Samantha — seem eager to cash in on that by painting Meghan as a monster. Whether it’s rumors of Meghan feuding with Kate or allegations about Meghan’s diva behavior , people love to talk. We know that some may be tempted to believe that Meghan is forcing Harry to change his lifestyle. He’s a grown man and a prince. He’ll soon be a father. We imagine that these two are making decisions together, like any expecting parents might. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Just Announced She’s Having a Boy … Right??

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro: I Never Banged Jewish Barbie! I Love Jen Harley!

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We all know that reality TV shows rarely depict anything that could be accurately described as reality. From the Teen Moms to the Real Housewives, just about everyone who's appeared on a long-running reality series has complained at one point or another about being the victim of a bad edit. It's a necessary evil, as producers are tasked with the job of crafting narratives out of raw footage and creating heroes and villains, while in real life, most of us are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. The latest (alleged) victim of this trend is Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who claims his implied affair with “Jewish Barbie” on last week's Jersey Shore Family Vacation was concocted by showrunners in an effort to provide viewers with the drama they crave. Take a look:   1. Ariana’s Parents Ron and Jen have certainly experienced some ups and downs over the course of their relationship, but they remain committed to making it work. 2. Rough Patches Ronnie and Jen’s impassioned confrontations have made for some of the most memorable drama on this season of Shore. 3. What Happens In Vegas … For example, who could forget Jen’s explosive — and unexpected — visit to Ron while the Shore gang was partying in Vegas? 4. What a Drag And of course, there was the incident in which Jen allegedly dragged Ronnie with her car — a confrontation that both sides now say was exaggerated by the media. 5. Even So … Jen has made no secret of the fact that she’s got a bit of a temper (making her a perfect fit for Ron), so fans have been encouraging Magro to tread lightly this season. 6. Enter Jewish Barbie So when Angelina’s friend Lindsay, aka Jewish Barbie, entered the shore-less Shore house and began showing an interest in Ron, there was widespread concern for Magro’s well-being.

Larissa: I Only Did 90 Day Fiance for the Money, And I Want More!

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Just one week after  Larissa was arrested for domestic battery , she and her husband, Colt, are assuring fans that everything’s fine. The  90 Day Fiance  couple are posting their love on social media, where Colt is gushing about his wife. In the mean time, Larissa is admitting that she did the show for the money, and asking for tips about getting lip fillers. Remember when Larissa first arrived in Vegas and complained about the desert heat? Well, now that daily highs in Vegas are in the 60s, she’s complaining about the “freezing” weather. But she and Colt also used Instagram to do a bit of a Q&A with followers. A fan who was very sure to emphasize that they weren’t being a hater asked Colt what he likes the most about Larissa, personality-wise. “I simply love her more than anything,” Colt replied. Colt was also asked what it takes to make a relationship work. “When I learn the secret,” Cole answered. “I’ll tell you.” Larissa also spoke to her followers. When a fan asked if she was now free to speak openly of her marriage to him, she answered. “After what happened Colt never told me, ‘Don’t post. Delete. Don’t talk about me.’ It’s OK now,” Larissa replied. Before their huge fight the week before, Larissa had been feeling hurt that Colt wanted her to not post about their romance. (They are on  90 Day Fiance  and Colt wanted to avoid spoilers, but apparently Larissa didn’t care about that)  After a sequence of unpleasantness, this led to police breaking down the door to their home, handcuffing Colt, and arresting Larissa. To hear her tell it, though, it may have been worth it so that she can post selfies with him. “Some bad things come to be good things,” Larissa says. Larissa also revealed that she was less than enamored with her experience with reality television. In Brazil, she says, she would have already gotten plastic surgery, including a boob job, if she were a reality star. Notably, she is asking fans for tips on where to get lip fillers and botox in Vegas. Larissa says that she would also have landed a new car by now on a Brazilian reality series. But does she regret going on the show? “I regret 50 percent and I don’t regret 50 percent,” Larissa answers.  “There are good people and bad people,” Larissa states. “And good experiences and bad experiences.” She also went into detail about why she elected to appear on  90 Day Fiance  to begin with. “First it was for the money,” Larissa freely admits. As she has discovered, the show doesn’t pay like the Real Housewives franchise does, but the extra cash is nice. “Then after all the s–t,” Larissa continues. “Now it’s for career, for my business.” And if she had a do-over, what would she do then? Larissa says: “I would try to live my relationship off the camera.” So, she’s complained about not getting instantly flush with cash by being on the show. A fan asked if she would characterize herself as a gold-digger. Larissa denies it, claiming that she is instead a “Cat-digger.” Colt and his mother have always had cats, and Colt’s best Instagram photos are of cats.  (The true purpose of social media is to share cat pics; sorry, I don’t make the rules) Larissa shares that her dream is to get a Maine Coon cat that costs $3,000. That thing about cats and all of that gushing is almost sweet enough to make you forget about Larissa’s arrest. She was taken to jail for domestic battery, though Colt has not shared many details and insists that he is not pressing charges. Domestic battery is always a serious matter, folks. No matter how much someone loves cats. And then there’s how Larissa made Colt’s mother cry after their first meeting and the fact that she’s a deadbeat mom with three kids in three homes . Larissa is shaping up to join the ranks of 90 Day Fiance ‘s most infamous stars. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Most Shocking Scandals Exposed!

‘RHOAS11’ Recap: Kandi Learns That Porsha’s New Man Might Be Running Game

Posted on November 19, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read the rest here:

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Real Housewives of Atlanta returns tonight for another dose of the Shady Bunch. We learn that Porsha and Eva are friends as they meet up to work out. Porsha wants to lose some extra weight that she gained while Eva is trying to lose baby weight and get wedding ready. But let’s be real, they do a lot more kiki’ing than working out and it comes to light that Eva feels some type of thing about Marlo. She feels like Marlo is entitled and it rubs her the wrong way. We all know this is definitely going to come back up because Marlo got time. She also delights in shading Cynthia. This scene couldn’t have been more than two minutes in before she took a few digs at Cynthia’s age. It’s was so unnecessary and frankly, she will be Cynthia’s age one day and she’d be so lucky to look as good. Yeah, ageism is wack. In other news, Nene and Gregg Leakes are still dealing with his health crisis. The good news is that there are no more cancer cells in Gregg’s body, but his doctor recommends that he undergo chemo, which increases his chances of remaining cancer free for life. Gregg isn’t into chemo because of all the negative side effects, so he’s looking into holistic options and NeNe supports him 100%. Next, we meet Shomari DeVoe, a new entry to the show (she’s married to Ronnie DeVoe). Shomari and Kandi know each other from being in the music biz so this should be interesting. Actually, it will be interesting. Shomari is getting back into singing again after several rough years in the music industry from being dropped from her label to the death of her groupmate, Natina Reed. She invites Kandi to an upcoming performance she has at ATL Live. Kandi invites the crew to Shomair’s show, of course, and they all come through, even NeNe. Things get shady really quickly, though. After Shomari performs (Blaque is operating as a duo), she brings her husband, Ronnie, to chat with the ladies. The palm trees start to sway when Shomari encourages Ronnie to give Kandi some pointers about Xscape’s stage presence. Basically, he said they need to work on their placement. Naturally, this advice came out of nowhere and Kandi isn’t quite interested in receiving this message, especially since, New Edition, opened up for her. Finally, the episode ends on a note that will probably be dragged out the entire season. Word on the street is, Porsha’s man is shady. This is how we know: Kandi gets together with Jami, Porsha’s former friend (we all remember when Porsha beat her down outside of an event for something trite, as usual, smh), and Carmon, her assistant. Kandi really likes Jami, despite her rift with Porsha. So, here we are. Jami started spilling all the tea about how she knows a couple of women who’ve dated Porsha’s man and with one friend, in particular. It seems that latter situation is freshly over and may even overlap with Porsha’s situation. He even had her friends’ name tattooed on his body and in general, he does to run game. For example, he allegedly likes pretending to cook food he actually had other people cook and the gist here is that Porsha might really need to ask her man all the questions she said she doesn’t want to ask out of fear of being lonely. You know, pick me logic . Jami’s testimony is juxtaposed with Porsha telling her mom how sprung she is and how he told her that she’s the first person to make him feel the way he feels and that he plans to get her face tattooed on him. Basically, this season has started off slow, but it’s about to be lit when all of this gossip comes bubbling to the surface.

Steve Carell: Did He Announce a Reboot of The Office on Saturday Night Live?!

Posted on November 18, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It's been over five years since the last episode of The Office aired … You still miss it, don't you? It was just such a fun, funny, delightful little show, and so very many people loved it so very much. And since we're in a time right now when many beloved shows are getting reboots — Roseanne, Murphy Brown, the new Sabrina series on Netflix, just to name a few — fans have been clamoring for a reboot of The Office, too. There have been rumors about this for a while now, and even a few somewhat promising reports. We've heard that a reboot could happen with just a few of the old cast members and some new characters. But, over the years, Steve Carell, the man behind the World's Best Boss, Michael Scott, has maintained that it wouldn't be a great idea. He's also made it pretty clear that if it did happen, he most likely wouldn't be involved. Well, Steve hosted Saturday Night Live last night … and he may have changed his tune! After he kicked off his opening monologue, an audience member interrupted him to ask if he'd ever reboot the show. “No, actually, I don't think so,” he answered. “It was a great experience, I love all those people, but I just don't think it's the best idea, I think maybe we should just leave it alone.” Then Kenan Thompson popped up in the audience to tell him that no, it would be the best idea. “It would be like someone wanted you to reboot Kenan and Kel,” Steve argued. Kenan told him that it “would be an honor” if that happened — so seriously, can that happen? But then Ellie Kemper stood up. Ellie Kemper who played that adorable, goofy receptionist, Erin, in later seasons. “People would really love to see an Office reboot,” she told him. “Especially me. I need that money. Let's get that money, Steve!” He still refused, so she called him a jerk and sat back down. So it was Ed Helms' turn. Ed Helms has gone on to star in tons and tons of movies, but many people still know him as Andy Bernard, that good ol' Cornell graduate who loves singing and has anger management issues. “I just don't think you understand how much money we're talking about,” he said to Steve. “Like, you wouldn't have to do all those sad movies anymore.” (Steve is hosting SNL because he has a new movie, Beautiful Boy, coming out in which he plays a father with a drug addict son.) He explained that he doesn't do those movies for money, and so it was time to pull out the big guns: Jenna Fischer, AKA Pam Beasley-Halpert. “Steve, do you remember the last words Pam secretly whispered to Michael as she left for Denver?” she asked, referencing a fan-favorite moment. When he said he didn't, she told him “She said, 'Steve, don't be a dick, do the reboot.'” Finally, Steve's actual wife and kids urged him to do it … so was what enough?! “Seems like everyone wants this to happen,” Steve said to the audience. “Do you want to see an Office reboot?” Everyone cheered, because honestly, everyone does want to see that. He asked Ellie, Ed, and Jenna to come up on the stage with him, then said “I am proud to announce officially …” “We have a great show tonight!” Yep, he really did play us like that. Obviously there's still no reboot in the works, but hey, maybe this was them sort of testing the waters, trying to see if people would want to watch? We can dream. Watch this mini reunion of The Office in the clip below:

Ellie Kemper who played that adorable, goofy receptionist, Erin, in later seasons. “People would really love to see an Office reboot,” she told him. “Especially me. I need that money. Let's get that money, Steve!” He still refused, so she called him a jerk and sat back down. So it was Ed Helms' turn. Ed Helms has gone on to star in tons and tons of movies, but many people still know him as Andy Bernard, that good ol' Cornell graduate who loves singing and has anger management issues. “I just don't think you understand how much money we're talking about,” he said to Steve. “Like, you wouldn't have to do all those sad movies anymore.” (Steve is hosting SNL because he has a new movie, Beautiful Boy, coming out in which he plays a father with a drug addict son.) He explained that he doesn't do those movies for money, and so it was time to pull out the big guns: Jenna Fischer, AKA Pam Beasley-Halpert. “Steve, do you remember the last words Pam secretly whispered to Michael as she left for Denver?” she asked, referencing a fan-favorite moment. When he said he didn't, she told him “She said, 'Steve, don't be a dick, do the reboot.'” Finally, Steve's actual wife and kids urged him to do it … so was what enough?! “Seems like everyone wants this to happen,” Steve said to the audience. “Do you want to see an Office reboot?” Everyone cheered, because honestly, everyone does want to see that. He asked Ellie, Ed, and Jenna to come up on the stage with him, then said “I am proud to announce officially …” “We have a great show tonight!” Yep, he really did play us like that. Obviously there's still no reboot in the works, but hey, maybe this was them sort of testing the waters, trying to see if people would want to watch? We can dream.
