QVC host reacts to viral on-air blooper

QVC host Toni Brattin has publicly commented on her viral on-air blooper that saw her mistakenly refer to a “blowout” as a “blowjob” during a wig presentation.
“When we’re doing a show, your mind is going 50 directions,” she told TMZ in a remote interview published Thursday.
“You’re thinking of your models, you’re thinking of the mannequin heads going through the colors, you’re thinking of the next positioning to get all the information out to the customers that they’re wanting, right?”
Brattin explained, “So your brain is really kind of multi-functioning, and you’re kind of in autopilot when you’re talking because you’ve said this so many times.”
Brattin admitted that in the moment, “You almost say to yourself, ‘Did I just say what I think I said?’”
“It was one of those moments, and of course, you can’t grab those words back,” she went on. “They’re out there.”
“I tried to real quick correct it and say the correct terminology — ‘a blowout at your salon’ — but by then, obviously, everyone caught it,” Brattin continued. “I was hearing snickering and then when you’re not supposed to laugh, it just makes it that much more funny.”
Brattin noted that the QVC team was “so kind” following the incident, which she explained “of course” wasn’t “intentional.”
“I mean, I’ve only been doing this for almost 30 years,” she said. “So to have a blooper like this just innocently come out, you have to go with it.
Brattin said the team told her, “I hope you’re able to not be mortified and that you can laugh about it today and in the future,” and told her she did “a great job throwing it over to [her] show host.”
Brattin was showcasing a “Salon Select Wig” from the back on Wednesday, teasing the wig with her fingers and noting its silky wave pattern and smooth texture, when she blurted out, “Again, it looks like you went and got a blowjob at your … blowout … at your salon.”
The wig designer, clearly flustered by the suggestive verbal slipup, froze up before dropping to the studio floor after the mortifying incident, as a model and co-host Teri Conn attempted to stifle giggles.
Following the gaffe, the TV personality’s husband didn’t miss a chance to make a joke of it.
During a “CBS Mornings” interview earlier this week, she recalled him waiting for her in the green room, where he told her “there’s a bar of soap waiting for you in your dressing room.”
“You know, we all make mistakes from time to time,” she added. “This one, after 30 years, just happens to be my biggest blooper ever.”

‘The Simpsons’ actress Nancy Cartwright predicts when hit show will end

“The Simpsons” could have an end date in sight — at least according to one of its longtime stars.
Nancy Cartwright, who has voiced Bart Simpson since 1987, revealed that the animated sitcom may wrap after Season 40, during an appearance on Michael Rosenbaum’s “Inside of You” podcast on Tuesday.
Asked how long she thinks “The Simpsons” will be on the air, Cartwright answered, “40 [seasons].”
The show, which first aired as a standalone series in 1989 after debuting as shorts on “The Tracey Ullman Show” two years earlier, finished its 37th season in February.
Rosenbaum followed up by asking if Cartwright really thought it would stop at 40 seasons.
“Yeah,” Cartwright said, before adding, “It’s my opinion” when he pressed her on whether she was sure.
But Cartwright, who is also responsible for several other voices on the show, made clear that she is open to going beyond 40 seasons if the show wants to continue.
Rosenbaum asked what she would do if producers said, “We wanna keep going?” Cartwright joked, “Are we still alive?” before asking whether everyone else would still be around, too.
Once Rosenbaum confirmed that everyone was still working, Cartwright said, “Yeah, we’ll keep going then.”
Asked if she would stay on for as long as it wanted to continue, she replied, “Absolutely.”
Last year, Fox locked down “The Simpsons” for four more seasons as part of its “Animation Domination” slate, which also features “Family Guy,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “American Dad.”
The animation is also getting its second feature film next year, nearly 20 years after 2007’s “The Simpsons Movie.”
When “The Simpsons” hit its 800th episode earlier this year, showrunner Matt Selman told Page Six that he had never seriously expected the series to be canceled.
“There was never a point where I went to bed thinking, ‘The show is probably going to end. We’re going to have to pack it up and clean all the crap out of our offices,’” Selman said.
Selman also pointed to its arrival on Disney+ following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox as a major factor in bringing in younger viewers.
“A whole new generation of younger fans fell in love with the show and it became their favorite show,” he said.
“The Simpsons” is the longest-running American scripted primetime series in TV history, having surpassed “Gunsmoke” in 2009, and has now aired 808 episodes.

Reese Witherspoon’s father, John, rushed to hospital after being found near pool at Nashville home

Reese Witherspoon’s father, John Draper Witherspoon, was rushed to the hospital Friday, Page Six can confirm.
A source tells us that the 84-year-old was found face down on the concrete by the pool at his Windsor Tower condo in Nashville, Tennessee.
According to our insider, a fellow resident spotted John from their balcony and called downstairs to alert the doorman, who eventually found the actress’ dad near the pool.
“The doorman and building manager rolled him over and they said, ‘Dr. Witherspoon, are you OK?’” the source noted. “He blinked his eyes, and that’s when he was rushed to the hospital.”
Nashville Metro confirmed to Page Six that a medical incident at Windsor Tower did occur on Friday, resulting in someone being rushed to the hospital. However, they did not reveal the identity.
Page Six has reached out to Reese’s reps for comment.
John and his wife, Mary Elizabeth (aka “Betty”), raised Reese and her older brother, also named John, in Nashville.
The “Legally Blonde” star’s parents were both in the medical field. Her mom worked as a nurse, and her dad as a surgeon: an otolaryngologist, specializing in the ears, nose and throat.
John was also a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Reserves and was stationed in Germany for several years when Reese was a little girl, per People. The family eventually settled in Nashville after John fulfilled his draft obligation for the Vietnam War.
In the ’90s, John and Betty separated and began living separately — news that came to light only when Betty lodged a bigamy lawsuit against John in 2012.
Betty had read about John’s new marriage to Tricianne Taylor in the local newspaper. She demanded that his second marriage be annulled, arguing that John had failed to divorce her before getting married again.
At the time, Betty detailed in the suit that they’d lived separate lives due to John’s issues with alcohol, infidelity and hoarding. Betty hadn’t divorced John and declared she still loved him.
In 2018, Betty told the Australian outlet Women’s Day that she and John had reconciled (per People).
“He has moved back in with me,” she told the publication at the time, noting that they’d been back together “quite a while” and were “still married.”
Both John and Betty were by Reese’s side when she won the Best Actress Oscar for her role as June Carter Cash in “Walk the Line” at the 2006 Academy Awards.
While Reese typically shares candid moments on social media with her mother, her dad has been featured less prominently. However, she did share a recent rare photo of John to celebrate Father’s Day in 2020.
The snap, shared via her Instagram Stories at the time, showed them on a walk together and was captioned, “Hey Dad!”

Country star Hannah Dasher says famous, married celebrity once slid into her DMs

Country singer Hannah Dasher revealed that a famous, married celebrity once slid into her direct messages on social media, but explained her Christian faith has kept her from taking shortcuts in the music industry.
During a recent appearance on the “Like a Farmer” podcast, the 40-year-old musician was asked about the “weirdest” DM that she has ever received.
“Well, I don’t know that I could share it because they’re famous and married,” Dasher said, without naming the individual. “So let me think of another one.”
“I could have gone on some pretty big tours, you know, if I wasn’t a Christian,” she added with a smile. “Golly, the weirdest DM that I’ve gotten. I guess that would be it, right? I don’t know.”
“Oh, I think about that one.”
Raised near Savannah, Georgia, Dasher has previously said that she grew up on ’90s country music. After graduating from college, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in country music. Dasher has previously said that she worked selling boats and outboard motors at Bass Pro Shops to support herself before being fired for writing songs while on the job.
In 2013, she landed her first publishing deal with BMG Chrysalis and later signed with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in partnership with Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three. Dasher’s first major break as a songwriter came in 2017, when Brad Paisley recorded her co-written song “Go to Bed Early” for his “Love and War” album, marking her first cut for a major label.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dasher launched her viral TikTok cooking series, “Stand By Your Pan,” where she mixes Southern recipes with country music and comedy. The series quickly attracted more than a million followers and helped introduce her to audiences beyond traditional country music fans.
Dasher signed a recording deal with Sony Music Nashville in 2021 and released her debut EP, “The Half Record,” which featured songs including “Leave This Bar” and “Girls Call the Shots.”
That same year, she was named one of CMT’s Next Women of Country and made multiple appearances performing at the Grand Ole Opry.
She has since said that Sony “pulled the plug” on her recording deal shortly after the EP’s release, leaving her to continue her career independently.
While speaking on the “Like a Farmer” podcast, Dasher candidly reflected on her career setback.
“I think losing my record deal was a huge humbling that needed to occur in me and it was the last thing that I thought was ever going to happen,” she said. “But the devil will steal your confidence when moments like that happen.”
“And so I just had to remind myself that I didn’t move to this town for anybody but me,” she continued. “And you know that I have people that love me and depended on me and I just knew that I needed to um to get out of that lull and to start writing songs again.”
Dasher explained that taking some time off from songwriting to pen her cookbook “Stand By Your Pan: 100 Easy and Affordable Comfort Food Recipes So Good They’ll Hurt People’s Feelin’s,” which was published in March was a “great way to kind of get those wheels turning again.”
“And so I’ve kind of been out of the songwriting thing for a couple of years because of this, and now I’m back into it and I caught the fever again, if you will,” she said. “I’m so excited to be working on new music and just to be growing this thing.”
“And this time it’s just so much more free,” Dasher continued. “I don’t have any rules over me that I feel like I’m having to write for, or that I can’t do this or I can’t say this. I’m just making this as authentically Hannah as it can be. Just real.”
Dasher also shared her thoughts on the current state of country music, which has recently experienced a massive surge in popularity.
“I think country is always trending,” she said. “I knew this ’90s thing would come back around.”
“I fought with the label to try to get a pedal steel in my music because I just I love it and I just knew that that was the vibe,” Dasher continued. “And you know [legendary country music singer] Patsy Cline fought against the pop thing, which at the time was the symphony, which became the Nashville sound. You know, the strings and all that stuff and it’s classic.”
“And so I just think good stuff sticks around. And I just think people right now are really craving authenticity.”
