BBC show, Mrs Brown's Boys.The Agnes Brown actor said he doesn't take any of their views into account when creating the sitcom's latest episodes. The show has hit viewers' screens in the form of specials recently, since the last full season of the show ended in 2013.However, despite the BBC saying the sitcom will continue to air until 2026, recent specials have been dubbed "worse than testing positive for Omicron". It comes after Brendan was slammed by The One Show viewers earlier this year after making what fans perceived as a "racist remark".The actor was live with A Madea Homecoming star Tyler Perry in February when he made the comments that earned him backlash from fans on social media.Brendan said when quizzed on whether Tyler could join the cast of Mrs Brown's Boys: "He's very expensive, and so far we haven’t had anyone of his colour in there so I don't know if we could have him in."But you know what, I'd love that, but I think more importantly I'd love to do another movie with him."Despite the outrage from the public, Tyler went on to insist he wasn't offended by Brendan's controversial remarks on the programme.Elsewhere, viewers have called for the show to be "cancelled" and have accused it of being "transphobic". However, Brendan has said the "woke" critics aren't holding him back from moving forwards with his show. "I don’t think about them, I write the show I write," Brendan shared.""I don’t ever think of myself as being a man playing a woman, when Mrs Brown goes out on that stage she is a woman."Speaking about accusations of cultural appropriation, he compared his acting roles to those of Leonardo DiCaprio.He pointed out to The Sun: "Where do you draw the line?

Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic As every network jockeys to own the shiniest piece of IP possible to attract distracted viewers, the best thing to say about any adaptation is that it honors the source material while also evolving it, believably and purposefully, to fit a new medium. AMC aims to do exactly that with “Interview With the Vampire,” the first installment of what it’s calling “The Immortal Universe,” having bought the rights to many of Anne Rice’s most iconic works. With both the books and evocative 1994 film to contend with, creator Rolin Jones (“Perry Mason”) took on an admittedly enormous challenge. How do you stay faithful to what makes Rice’s novels so popular while bringing something to the screen that the likes of Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and a tiny Kirsten Dunst didn’t?

In Perry’s case, Heart gets up close and personal with that all-denim VMAs tribute to Britney Spears as well as her, er, fruity 2009 Grammys look. “It was inspired by Carmen Miranda, fruit on the head and fruit on the body,” Perry says of the sequined bodice in the glitzy clip. “I haven’t seen this for years.” The hitmaker, 37, then reminisces about the time she wore it for her very first Grammys performance. “It was right when I was making it and everything was happening,” she says, “singing ‘I Kissed A Girl’ — my [religious] parents were deeply ashamed — and I was on my way up.”
