Some Australian Open viewers would like to go a few sets with tennis legend Chris Evert over her commentary during Serena Williams’ match vs. Naomi Osaka.
Osaka defeated Serena, who is of course front and center in the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) conversation in her own right, on Wednesday night. Evert, who was calling the match for ESPN, rubbed some fans the wrong way with her words and perceived tone during the semifinal.
“The person who needs to retire at the end of this match is Chris Evert,” one Twitter user wrote.
There is speculation that Williams is soon to announce her retirement from the sport. When asked after her match about walking away from tennis, Williams broke down in tears.
“Chris Evert is the face of misogynoir. Unapologetic and repetitive Af,” said another.
“Misogynoir” is a phrase coined by Moya Bailey to describe “the specific hatred,...

The four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty obsessed with food and so, it turns out, is the director of their most recent big screen outing.
Dave Green, who helmed 2016’s “Tmnt: Out of the Shadows,” is teaming up with actor Joe Cobden (“Fargo”) to create a food-based sketch comedy series at Quibi.
The project is called “Toothpix” and hails from “Tim & Eric Awesome Show” producers Abso Lutely and “Chef’s Table” production house Supper Club. Based on the Instagram account of the same name, the show is set entirely in the world of celebrity chefs, restaurants and influencer culture, and aims to celebrate the absurdities of the food world.
“Toothpix” is being produced by Josh Cohen and Dave Kneebone for Abso Lutely, and David Gelb, Brian McGinn, and Jason Sterman for Supper Club.
Green was recently tapped to direct Warner Bros.’ live action-animation hybrid Wile E. Coyote movie, as Variety reported exclusively.

Exclusive: Jacob Tremblay (Wonder) has been set to lead voice cast on the animation-sci-fi update of Charlie Chaplin’s 1921 classic The Kid.
The reimagining, now titled The Kid: An Animated Adventure, is set in a futuristic New York City which has been flooded and split vertically into two distinct regions. Tremblay’s eponymous character is a young boy living with his mother in Uptown, a boring, artless place of overprotective safety. When he runs away seeking adventure, he winds up in the mysterious and dangerous Downtown and encounters Chaplin, a robot with a human soul. Together, the two embark on adventures to discover the secret mystery behind Chaplin, while pursued by police, the Kid’s mother, and a colorful cast of modern circus performers.
Christian Volckman (Renaissance) is directing with Rupert Wyatt (Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes) on board as executive producer. Volckman and Wyatt co-wrote the script...

Ever thought Google News, with its endless stream of no-cost content, was too good to be true? Well, so did Rupert Murdoch, who has repeatedly threatened to pull News Corp.'s Web sites--most notably, The Wall Street Journal and the Times of London--from the search titan. (Gawker imagined that scenario on Nov. 24.) And now, Google is updating its options to help Murdoch and other publishers limit free access to articles.
Here's how it used to work: Publishers allowed Google's crawler to index their subscription content, then allowed users who found one of those articles through Google News or Google Search to see full stories without registering or subscribing. Google called this the "First Click Free" program, but really, all clicks--on Google News, at least--were free. (Google terms this "abusing the spirit" of First Click Free.) The revamped options let publishers limit users to no more than five no-cost page views per day.

Today we have a little news of our own. Ok we didn't break the story, PaidContent did, but why not hear it again from the source? Tubefilter announced today that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Tilzy.TV. The New York-based media company, founded by Jamison Tilsner and Josh Cohen, has been an integral part of the web video scene since early 2007. This is a new chapter for Tubefilter as a company. We're bringing onto the team a pair of experienced and passionate co-founders in Josh Cohen and Jamison Tilsner. These guys get it, and share a deep concern for the web creative community. As of today articles from the Tilzy.TV site have been migrated over to Tubefilter News and are now integrated into the site with a decal to indicate articles that were originally published on Tilzy.TV. Sure, there was a friendly East Coast-West Coast thing between Tubefilter and Tilzy,...

Friends of Tilzy.TV, We are excited to announce that Tilzy.TV is being acquired by Tubefilter, Inc., the definitive source for online entertainment industry news, program reviews, events and market intelligence services. Josh Cohen and I will be joining the Tubefilter executive team to continue our commitment to growing and supporting the online entertainment community as we have since founding Tilzy.TV in early 2007. Effective today, all breaking industry news and program reviews can now be seen on Tubefilter News, where you’ll also find all of our past coverage. Tilzy.TV began as a guide to television on the web. Our alpha site functioned much like the menu interface of a cable service - our goal was to provide information and collect data that would drive entertainment discovery in an open environment. Though our form has changed over time, our goals today are much the same as when we launched.

Earlier this evening, before sitting down to watch some internet, I had a quick chat about music with Tilzy.TV editor Josh Cohen. He was saying that he felt disconnected from a lot of contemporary music and as I was about to respond to his lament, but his phone rang for a call he had to take. I was going to comment that it definitely takes a lot of time and effort to find quality music today, but instead of getting to properly finish the conversation, I got to chew my word-cud on the way to the subway. As unfortunate as it is to have a good music conversation cut off so abruptly, it turned out to be rather fitting given the circumstances. When I got home to watch a new show for the site, I clicked on Black Cab Sessions and immediately empathized with Josh. Like Austin Kut 90.5’s...
