Poor guy had it rough.  Success at 25, million bucks a week.  He was making the rounds of talk shows not long ago pushing a book.  I'm watching him tell of his stupid druggie stunts wondering "who thought this is interesting enough to put on a TV show?"

Rough wouldn't be the word I'd use.   Still had a net worth of over 100+ mill today.   Amazing how they function so well in some aspects of life, and fall miserably in others.

I just read that he had a fling with Gwyneth Paltrow -"at a party".

 

Does that mean that he grappled her in the coat room?

 

If so, respect.

Those show biz windfalls are gone for good. You'd be lucky to see a mil out of a Netflix series.

 

What Netflix dross will have the legs of a Friends or a Seinfeld? Will people want to watch Is It Cake? even a year from now?

 

Is It Cake? def gets some viewership in pot bars.
