Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Nov 12, 2020

OPRAH WINFREY has put together a TV special with BARACK OBAMA, interviewing him about his upcoming memoir, "A Promised Land." You'll be able to see it next Tuesday, (Nov. 17th) on Apple TV+.

Actor VINCE VAUGHN talked to USA Today and says the 'Wedding Crashers' team may be putting together a new movie: "I just met with OWEN (WILSON) and DAVID DOBKIN last week, and there's a script and an idea that we all quite like," he said, and "It feels like the right next chapter." In the meantime, his new movie out this Friday is called “Freaky,” in which he plays two roles --a slasher and a teenage girl. Don't ask me how he manages the second part.

Hats off... or maybe pants off to New Yorker writer JEFFREY TOOBIN, who was fired from the publication after reportedly exposing himself during a Zoom conference call last month. He's also been put "on leave" from CNN as well, where he's the chief legal analyst.

Had it up to HERE with the whole TRUMP-BIDEN Presidential (and not-so-Presidential) race? Get ready for a movie about the differences between Republican and Democratic families, starring MILES TELLER, SHAILENE WOODLEY and WILLIAM HURT called “The Fence.” In the film, Teller and Woodley play a newlywed liberal couple who move in next door to an ultra-conservative neighbor and ex-marine played by Hurt. And things escalate when Hurt insists on building a 9-foot-tall fence that he believes will help him protect from terrorists. I'm sure none of you ever had a neighbor like that.
