Adult Swim has finally set a date for Rick and Morty‘s next intergalactic shenanigan. The animated comedy will return for its fifth season on Sunday, June 20 at 11/10c, TVLine has learned.

To sweeten this news, Adult Swim has also released the first trailer for Season 5, teasing some of the duo’s upcoming adventures. We see a “strange, horny ocean man” on the family’s lawn, Rick and Morty in full Blade mode, and the apparent return of Mr. Poopybutthole, among other oddities — all of which you can watch above.

The network is even officially declaring June 20 to be Rick and Morty Day, an “out-of-this-world celebration with sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes footage and special surprises across TV, digital and social.”

Rick and Morty‘s voice cast includes Justin Roiland (Solar Opposites), Sarah Chalke (Firefly Lane), Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live) and Spencer Grammer (Greek).

The animated comedy is created by Dan Harmon (Community) and Roiland, both of whom are also executive producers.

Rick and Morty was renewed in May 2018 for a staggering 70 episodes, 10 of which aired as Season 4 in 2019 and 2020. The fourth season ended with Rick discovering that — spoiler alert! — he purposely mixed up the labels while cloning Beth so that he’d never know which version of her was real. TVLine readers appear to have given the Season 4 finale their collective seal of approval, with 66 percent determining that it deserved a grade of “A.”

As soon as I got to the new dentist, he insisted I get the last two taken out. After pressing me every time I went to see him, I just opted to not see a dentist. Fast forward to about two years ago and my old dentist takes my insurance now. I told him what he thought about my last two wisdom teeth and what the prior dentist said. "The x-rays show your teeth are fine. If they bother you at some point, we can take them out. Why do any unnecessary procedures? We can cross that bridge if they ever bother you."

Fuck that other dentist. He can lick my left nut.

They recommended not to use straws. But I wanted to drink hot tea when I got home and I considered straws but just drank from the cup. What's your story with straws, what'd you do? lol

Only thing I ate today was some eggs, mashed potatoes and soup. They stitched me up and it's still bleeding but they also said it was normal for 24 hours. Keeping it cool is supposed to help so I'm going to grab some ice cream.

Rusty wrote:I think the issue with straws is the strain the sucking motion puts on the back of your jaw with it being so sensitive with back teeth removed. So no straws. Or blowjobs.

Ah! I was doing some research earlier and that did come up. I didn't use a straw but I'm worried I might have that. About 6 hours ago, left side started hurting and throbbing but I don't see any exposed bone. Could be because the drug was wearing off, I'm on my 4th pill now and they gave me 12 tablets. It's day 2 so hopefully it's gone by tomorrow, I don't want to rely on the pills. I've been rinsing with salt water too.

Rapper DMX Hospitalized Following Heart Attack and Overdose

DMX suffered a drug overdose Friday night and is currently in the hospital ... and the prognosis is not good.

Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ, the OD occurred at his home at around 11 PM. Our sources say the overdose triggered a heart attack.

DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York and is in the critical care unit. We're told he has "some brain activity." Another source says he's in a "vegetative state" and doctors have cautioned he may not make it.

As we have reported over the years, DMX, who was the cornerstone of the Ruff Ryders label, has battled substance abuse and has been to rehab several times. His last rehab stint back in 2019 came after he completed a 12-month sentence for tax evasion.

At the time, we were told DMX hadn't relapsed, but checked himself into rehab out of fear he might again, as he felt temptations to use creep up on him again.

DMX made his return to the stage following rehab in December 2019 when he hit Hakkassan in Las Vegas, chatting it up and taking photos with fans before he hit the stage.

During the Vegas show, he took a moment to tell fans, "When you fall down, get back up, everyone here has been through some s**t and you never know what God is willing to do for you until you need him to do something for you."

Last we saw him perform was in July 2020, when X faced off with Snoop Dogg in a Verzuz battle which saw more than 500K viewers tune in, proving he still had an incredible ability to bring an audience.

We will, of course, update as information becomes available regarding his current situation.

7:25 PM PT -- We just got an official statement from DMX's rep ... "Last night Earl 'DMX' Simmons was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at home. At this time he remains in ICU in critical condition. Earl has been a warrior his entire life. This situation represents yet another road he must conquer." The rep goes on ... "The Simmons Family appreciates the overwhelming outpouring of heartfelt love, encouragement, support and prayers for Earl. Earl is someone whose life and music have been a source of inspiration and strength to so many people around the world. It is reassuring to see his fans return that same passion and energy to him during his time of need."

5:40 PM PT -- A family member of X's tells TMZ ... his children are flying in to see him.

5:20 PM PT -- A family member of X's tells TMZ ... paramedics tried resuscitating him for 30 minutes, and during that time he was deprived of oxygen. Doctors told the family the lack of oxygen severely impacted X's brain. One family source said, "It's not looking good."

Following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, a group of mercenaries take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.

Army of the Dead's ensemble cast includes Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Theo Rossi, Tig Notaro, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Garret Dillahunt. The film will mark Snyder's second high-profile release in as little as two months, as March saw the long awaited debut of Zack Snyder's Justice League on HBO Max.

Audiences have known her as Thandie Newton for over 30 years. Now, the Westworld actress has revealed that is not her real name. Her real name is Thandiwe Newton.

Newton’s full name is Melanie Thandiwe Newton. Thandiwe is pronounced “tan-DEE-way” and it means “beloved”. In an interview with British Vogue, she revealed that her name was misspelled in the credits of her first film in 1991, Flirting which co-starred Nicole Kidman and Noah Taylor. As a result, Thandie Newton has stuck for over three decades. It’s not known why she waited so long to revert to the real spelling of her name — but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we refer to her as Thandiwe Newton from here on out.

“The thing I’m most grateful for in our business right now is being in the company of others who truly see me,” said Newton in the interview with British Vogue. “And to not be complicit in the objectification of Black people as ‘others’, which is what happens when you’re the only one.”

Newton continued, “That’s my name. It’s always been my name. I’m taking back what’s mine.”

The Emmy-winning actress has become an outspoken advocate on numerous fronts. In the British Vogue article, it mentions her involvement in the African American Policy Forum and the #sayhername campaign founded by her friend Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the term “intersectionality”. Newton is also a board member of Eve Ensler’s V-Day, which supports women survivors of sexual violence in Congo with the City of Joy project. She also helped establish One Billion Rising which campaigns to end violence against women. She was also awarded the OBE in 2018 for her contributions to charity and film. “We can make a difference,” she said.

President Joe Biden announced that all adults will be eligible to receive the Covid-19 vaccine by April 19.

“No more confusing rules, no more confusing restrictions,” Biden said in remarks from the White House.

The date is almost two weeks earlier than the previous deadline, May 1.

Biden also cautioned that the end of the pandemic is not over, as he warned about rising cases on the rise again.

“We aren’t at the finish line,” Biden said. “We still have a lot of work to do. We still are in a life and death race against this virus.”

Fuck, I lost 7 pounds in 1 week. I'm not eating as much and I'm not working out. I'm starting to regret taking my wisdom teeth out. Plus, I have lockjaw and can't open my mouth more than 1 finger .

The divorce probably made her richer. From sex tape to billionaire. Her younger sister is a self-made billionaire too.

Did your jabroni dentist go randomly probing your gum line with that syringe before finally getting it right?

Are you telling me my dentist fucked up? This isn't normal? I researched lockjaw and it said rehab will fix it and I've been doing it for 5 days but only seen small improvement. I can't eat shit.

WyldeMan wrote:It's entirely possible your dentist fucked up, I think it can also happen from being forced to hold your jaw open for too long and the inflammation getting out of control.

According to google it can take two weeks in most cases to see any real recovery and thats as long as you're rehabbing, so keep it up.

A new expose was published yesterday by The Hollywood Reporter in which it was detailed how he repeatedly threatened to ruin Gal Gadot's career if she didn't "play ball" after she complained to him about the new dialogue she was being given. Later, behind her back Whedon was said to be seen bragging and laughing over his treatment of Gadot and how much fun he was having feeding her bullshit lines just for his own amusement and to see how far he could push things.
