CD In Fifth Grade
ABC’s medical drama Grey’s Anatomy continues to secure its place in TV history with a two-year renewal for seasons 16 and 17. The series’ star, Ellen Pompeo, is set for both seasons, along with the other original cast members.
Additionally, ABC has re- newed two other Shondaland series, Grey’s Anatomy spinoff Station 19 for a third season and How to Get Away with Murder for a sixth season (Legal drama For the People has been canceled). Grey’s Anatomy executive pro- ducer/showrunner Krista Vernoff will helm both the medical drama and Station 19, providing a seamless crossover narrative on both series. All se- ries come from ABC Studios.
This season, Grey’s Anatomy, created by Shonda Rhimes, surpassed NBC’s ER as the longest-running prime- time medical drama in TV his- tory in number of episodes
Since 50 Cent became "Fofty," he has been collecting on owed debts in spectacular fashion. His most recent ac- complishment is settling a $20 debt.
On Saturday, 50 explained on Instagram that a fan came to a meet-and-greet just to repay the rapper for stealing his album in fifth grade.
"Why this n***a come to the store and give me this $20 right here," 50 said in a video showing the money. "He said, 'here take it...' and said, 'I stole your CD in fifth grade. The only person who knew about it was my cousin, but this bitch on some bullshit so I know she going to go left on me. I don't need you putting me all over your Instagram.'"
Earlier this month, 50 Cent went on the offensive against

Now Grey’s Anatomy also will become the longest-run- ning medical drama in a num- ber of seasons, 17 vs. 15 for ER. Grey’s Anatomy, which also cemented its place last season in ABC’s history books as the network’s longest-running primetime scripted series, has continued to be a powerful rat-
ings performer for the network as its top scripted series.
Season-to-date, Grey’s has averaged a 2.8 rating and 3.6 million viewers in the key 18- 49 demo and 10 million total viewers (Live+7). Its recent crossover episode with spinoff Station 19 was another boost for the series, which gave it its biggest audience in five weeks (700k viewers).

Actress and former model Peggy Lipton, who rose to stardom in the late 1960s on the counterculture police se- ries “The Mod Squad” and later starred on TV’s “Twin Peaks,” has died. She was 72.
Her death from cancer was announced Saturday by Ki- dada and Rashida Jones, her daughters from a marriage to famed music producer Quincy Jones.
“She made her journey peacefully with her daughters and nieces by her side,” Lip- ton’s daughters said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. “We feel so lucky for every moment we spent with
her.”
Born in New York on Aug.
30, 1946, Lipton began mod- eling at age 15 and quickly found herself in demand. At age 19, she made her television debut on the sitcom “The John Forsythe Show,” going on to make appearances on such se- ries as “Bewitched,” “The Al- fred Hitchcock Hour” and “The Virginian.”
The waifish, blond Lipton had just turned 21 when she rocketed to fame in 1968 as the street-smart flower child Julie Barnes, one of a trio of Los Angeles undercover “hip- pie cops” on the ABC crime se- ries “The Mod Squad.”

The end came swiftly. Baker announced via Twitter on Thursday that the BBC had given him the boot — and said the network “threw me under

Baker deleted the offensive tweet, he tried to pull a Jedi mind trick, saying the racist con- notations had not occurred to him because his “mind [is] not diseased.”
When will people learn that expressing racist views – espe- cially on social media, especially when you have a clearly identifi- able job, and perhaps most es- pecially, when said views are about the newest British baby royal – will always put you in the losers’ column?
The BBC fired radio broad- caster Danny Baker after Baker tweeted an image Wednesday of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry holding hands with a chim- panzee dressed in a top hat and suit and the caption: “Royal Baby leaves hospital.”
The tweet was sent hours after the royal couple formally introduced their newborn son, Archie Harrison Mountbat- ten-Windsor, to the world.
