Ben Massi: 'Better With You' dedicates Thanksgiving episode in memory


A news by 4usnews:While showrunners and actors tend to get the majority of the glory of a successful show, it's important to remember that great TV wouldn't happen without the below-the-line talent that goes largely unnoticed.

The stars and showrunners themselves, however, never forget those who make their success possible. The "Better With You" team dedicated their Thanksgiving episode to Ben Massi, a Warner Bros. employee who, sadly, passed away on Nov. 10.

Massi, born in Burbank May 29, 1963, was 47 years old and was known as "Guy" to many. Still in Burbank at the time of his passing, he was a longtime loyal employee of Warner Bros. He worked in the paint department - a family business - and contributed to many of our favorite films and television shows.

In the spirit of celebrating Massi's life and fun-loving spirit, his surviving family - including his mother, sisters, and nieces - has requested that no suits be worn at his December 3 memorial. "In remembrance of Ben, Hawaiian shirts are preferred attire at the service," reads the obituary.

We thank Ben for his hard work to keep us entertained through his 30 years at Warner Bros...

Manager: Oksana Grigorieva is a Two Faced, Button-Pushing Opportunist


A News By 4usnews:A man Mel Gibson hired to manage Oksana Grigorieva's singing career says she's basically a back-stabbing liar who was constantly "pushing Mel's buttons."

Michael Lustig submitted a declaration for Mel in his child custody case, claiming that despite Gibson's efforts, Oksana never showed an ounce of gratitude.

Sort of the sentiment we heard on the Mel Gibson tapes.In the document, Lustig states, "In my experience, Ms. Grigorieva's disposition is generally anxious, depressed and uneasy. She constantly 'digs' at Mr. Gibson."

It's not surprising that he adds how she "pushes his buttons."

Lustig says Oksana Grigorieva was a "dark" person when she argued with Mel, noting he often heard her yell at him with "sharp, pointed and nasty" words.

Yeah. Amazing to think that someone could actually make Mel Gibson look like something of a sympathetic victim in all of this, but Oksana is doing her best.....

Ina Garten takes over Google

A news by 4usnews:Google is prepping for Thanksgiving early today with Ina Garten recipes. The famous Google Doodle is not a doodle today — it’s a photograph of Thanksgiving ingredients handpicked by the Barefoot Contessa herself. At first, I was a bit dismayed by the doodle forgoing a drawing, but Garten makes up for any slight with her recipe offerings. Especially her popover recipe. It’s sort of a Bell family mainstay, and although you really should have them for breakfast, smothered in butter and hot syrup, I can’t really get mad at anyone who loves popovers.

The Post’s Liz Seymour wrote of the famous chef in 2008:

She is an icon because her message is universal and empowering. Don’t cook all the food; buy some. Keep the table settings simple. Do most of the work the day before the party. All good rules to follow at this most stressful entertaining time of the year. It is hard, she said, but you can do it.
