Hilarious and too rich. HBO has announced a new comedy half-hour show that takes place in the world of Hollywood blogging called “Tilda” which — get this — centers on a powerful female Tinstletown writer with a no-holds-barred approach.

Remind you of someone we all know? Shouldn’t they have called the show “Toldja!” or did whatshername feel like she has intellectual (oxymoron) rights to that term? The show is obviously modeled after Deadline Hollywood doyenne Nikki Finke and while she’ll probably gloat with pride that Hollywood is sooo obsessed with her that they made a show about her, she should note that its a comedy program and her juvenile antics, dirt smearing and yes, sometimes occasionally, good deep throat reporting will likely be skewered week in and week out.

All this talk of possibly cutting Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” got many people upset and hot under the collar. But is any of it true?

The Wrap first reported that 40 minutes of the film were going to be cut. We were one of the first to point out The Wrap’s bad math (they said 40 minutes to be cut from a 2 hour and 4o minute edit, but the version everyone saw at Cannes was already 2 hours and 28 minutes).
