Being a DJ is the new being a lazy drug addict when it comes to jobs for celebrity children; Vine is the way to become a celebrity drug addict when you don't have famous parents; Sleepy Hollow got picked up for season 2 and ughhhhh I can't it's so awful just stop; Exxon is suing FXX over a logo, because those are the pressing matters at hand, not oil spill cleanups.

Want to become a famous musician? Just have super famous white bread Hollywood parents. Taking a page from the Connor Cruise playbook, Steven Spielberg's kids Theo Spielberg and Sasha Spielberg have just signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation, under the DJ name Wardell. They recently played a Teen Vogue party and were very bad. [Variety]
Want to become famous but don't have famous parents? Get on Vine. Talent agencies are doing what they always do: using 6 second snap judgments in place of finding actual talent, so really, nothing new to see here kids. [Variety]
The stupidest show in the history of ever, Sleepy Hollow, just got picked up for a second season on Fox. [Deadline]
Exxon, which just stopped paying for housing for Arkansas victims displaced by their spring oil spill, is instead putting that money towards suing FXX for having a logo that's too similar to Exxon, citing the fact that consumers might think the brands are affiliated. Trust me Exxon, after Alaska and Arkansas, you could probably use the goodwill of being affiliated with FXX. [Variety]

Breakdowns is a daily roundup of all the news that wasn't interesting enough to deserve two paragraphs.

Oh shut the fuck up, really Sleepy Hollow is a lot of fun. Everything doesn't have to be Breaking Bad and it's not like we have a lot of shows with a smart, capable, woman of color who's actually leading instead of a sidekick.

Scandal. The Mindy Project. Getting On.

Also, I don't watch Breaking Bad. I am notably known for watching "bad" TV, and I even I wouldn't touch the stinking pile of trash Sleepy Hollow is.

Well, you proved my point. 3 shows out of the vast amount on network T.V. is laughable. (actually isn't 'Getting On' HBO and hasn't premiered yet?) Anyway to each their own, I still think a show like this should be supported to show Hollywood viewers won't run for the hills when a poc led show is on.

I don't disagree with you at ALL re: women of color. You are totally right. (I hate that Jenji Kohan once had a quote of Piper being her Trojan horse to be able to tell the stories of women of color, but I hate it because I can't disprove it.) That being said, my issues with Sleepy Hollow have to do with the show, and I can't support TV I find to be awful, even if it's helping tip the scales of diversity to where they should be.

Ok, fair enough. And now I feel like a dick for cussing at you.

Don't trip, chocolate chip! What else are these comments for, if not to fight it out? (Also, I tried to find a gif that indicated "It's all good" and this was all the Internet gave me. It's not how I feel, but was too good not to share?)

This sums up most DJ's talent these days.

Holy crap, Sasha Spielberg looks like Kate Capshaw. And holy crap do I feel old.
