The historic American debacle that has forever been known as “Watergate” (so infamous that it would be the go-to reference to name so many public scandals that followed it) has been and will very likely continue to be reenacted in TV and movies due to how truly incredulous and botched the whole affair was.

Thus, HBO, Veep’s David Mandel, Woody Harrelson, and Justin Theroux have assembled to do a mini-series, White House Plumbers, following E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, the bad actors that were caught at the Watergate Hotel tampering on behalf of Nixon’s re-election campaign. It’s fitting that Mandel is at the helm here as there is plenty of Veep-style humor baked into Watergate as one can see in the trailer that dropped this week. White House Plumbers will very likely enter awards consideration as a dramatic mini-series, but probably much in the sam spirit that Succession is a drama.

Take a gander at the utter ridiculousness that spiraled into Watergate with this trailer for White House Plumbers here. Then, look for its premiere on HBO starting Mon. May 1st.

While Justin Theroux and Ben Stiller have hinted that a sequel to Zoolander might be on the horizon soon, it has only been hints and rumors that we might get to see Blue Steel from Zoolander’s visage once more.

However, Will Ferrell has commented in a recent interview with JoBlo that a script is indeed in place that will have a read through soon and the villainous fashion designer Mugatu that he plays is set to return in the sequel.

That still leaves plenty to be do with actually getting cameras rolling, but, for now, this is great progress where there hasn’t been any for years.

In addition to Ben Stiller’s remarks on the legitimate possibility of a Zoolander sequel 13 years after original, Justin Theroux, who played the evil DJ that is one of Mugatu/Will Ferrell’s henchmen, gave a little more backing to a Zoolander 2 actually happening.

While being interviewed by Vulture for his role in The Leftovers, Theroux commented that there is actual work being done on a script for the sequel and scheduling for everyone that would be involved has been an issue.

Hopefully, we will get to see the progress of The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to Do Other Good Stuff Too sometime in the next year or so.
