Why Rob Kardashian Stepped Away From Family TV Show
Rob Kardashian is getting real about his reality TV hiatus.
The 38-year-old, who famously stepped away from Keeping Up With the Kardashians after Season 13, called in to the July 16 episode of his sister Khloé Kardashian's podcast, Khloé in Wonderland, and opened up about why he prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
"I don't wanna be filming and putting myself in a position where I'm not comfortable," Rob told his sister Khloé over the phone. "I'm not comfortable in my skin, so why would I want to go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in when that's not what I want to do?"
Rob, who is a dad to 8-year-old Dream, whom he shares with ex Blac Chyna, has made a few cameos on The Kardashians on Hulu, however, he's mostly absent from the family's reality TV presence since his spinoff series, Rob & Chyna, aired in 2016.
Despite the distance, Rob made it clear he's very much a part of the family -- just off camera.
"There's definitely nothing wrong between any of us," he insisted. "It just has everything to do with myself."
Still, he hasn't completely ruled out a return to reality TV.
"I love filming if it's positive and natural and I'm feeling good about myself," Rob added. "I like being around my family so that stuff is good to me."
Elsewhere in the interview, Rob got candid about his dating life, telling big sister Khloé he hasn't been in a serious relationship since his daughter was born.
"I've been single -- she's 8 years old -- I've been single for 8 years, since she [was] born," Rob shared before detailing his dating style. "I definitely talk to people. I just... I'm not out here going on dates. Sometimes I do, but I really prefer not to. I prefer none of that."
He continued, "Of course, I've dated and stuff, but I've never gotten serious or wanted to. My energy is just into Dream."
While the proud father of one admitted he should probably have more "fun" and enjoy his life, Rob said he just doesn't "care to be dating somebody."
"Unless it just happens. It just hasn't," he added.

Gabby Windey to Host Alex Cooper's ‘Love Overboard' Reality Dating Series
Gabby Windey, the former Bachelorette co-lead who won season three of The Traitors, has been tapped to host Hulu's Love Overboard reality dating series from Alex Cooper's Unwell Productions and Jeff Jenkins Productions. Windey, herself a podcast host and content creator, is best known for appearances on ABC's The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. She was one of two co-leads for season 19. She also appeared on Dancing With the Stars.

The show's synopsis reads: 'As the journey unfolds, romance ignites; alliances form; and hearts are shattered. In the end, only one couple will reign supreme. Who will rise to the top, and who will be left stranded?' In 2024, Windey launched the podcast Long Winded With Gabby Windey.

In a Hollywood Reporter cover story, Cooper said her goals for Unwell were 'to build this company … It is crazy how much we've done in just a year from a tour that sold out seven cities to doing micro events that have brought thousands of women together and creating Unwell as a brand where we can throw a party and I don't even have to go. I want to be the biggest content creator in the world.' This continues Cooper being in business with Hulu, following her documentary, Call Her Alex, that released in June.

A classic Sunny takes on Cybertrucks and slap fights
[Editor's note: The A.V. Club will return to recap this season's finale on August 20.] It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has gifted fans dozens of the dumbest schemes in the history of television. In fact, if you had to say what this show was about more than anything else, it would probably be five idiots doing damage control after their very bad ideas explode in their faces. Whether they're making Kitten Mittens, collecting Philly's trash, or solving the gas crisis, the Paddy's Pub Gang has a unique ability to take get-rich-quick schemes and set them on fire. And in 'Thought Leadership: A Corporate Conversation,' writers Charlie Day and Rob Mac use viral subjects like slap fighting and Tesla's Cybertruck to concoct a very funny episode that feels both classic Sunny and current. An alternate title for this week's episode could have been 'The Gang Has Watched Too Much Succession.' The HBO hit isn't directly name-checked, but that booming score sure sounds a lot like Nicholas Brittell's compositions on the multiple Emmy winner. They've actually been watching a bunch of clips of a corporate retreat in Idaho, leading to some fantastic misinterpretations of 'business speak,' including Mac saying nonsense like 'hammer down our brand identity and come out open commando' and Charlie thinking the sacrificial lamb was actual meat and also suggesting they use other animals than a 'scapegoat' like maybe a 'fall fish' or a 'scapefish' or a 'fall bird'—and then we're back to Dee. (Charlie Day is spectacular in this episode.) The YouTube rabbit hole of Idaho corporate training also allows people like Dennis and Mac to say phrases that mean just about nothing, like, 'First and foremost, the business must be protected at all times.' The current concern is a reporter in Paddy's Pub who Frank believes is there because they dumped 500 gallons of baby oil and 200 Paddy's Pub T-shirts into the Schuylkill River. How did that happen? Flashback time! 'Paddysgate' started several weeks ago when Frank found a jug out back, arguably the dumbest inciting event for one of his schemes to date. After arguing over how to musically use the jug, and a bit of clawing each other's faces, the Gang got their own individual jugs, but they were full of water. How do you get rid of water? Charlie insists it can't be used to clean the bar and it's probably not smart to start a fire, so they begin the slow process of drinking it and talk about the art of braising, evidence disposal, baby oil, and even the Cybertruck. And then there's the big question of 2025: 'What are your thoughts on slap fighting?' After a few days of slapping within the group, Mac has a business idea: 'professional slap fighting.' They stage these bouts in the bar, which attracts a crowd. But the gang has never come up with a good idea they couldn't destroy, often through their horniness. So Dennis gives an amazing speech about how slap fighting isn't erotic enough and turns it into a pitch about an unfulfilled future: 'We were promised women going wild.' Before you know it, Paddy's has moved from burly dudes to bikinis and baby oil, although most of the women don't go for the latter. And to entice a higher quality of contestant, they decide to give away a prize: a Cybertruck. But they become obsessed with Elon's dumb car and decide they want to keep it for themselves, forcing Dee to become a ringer in the competition. It might have worked if Charlie hadn't fallen back on some bad habits. He goes to find the Waitress (Day's wife, Mary Elizabeth Ellis), offering to 'oil' her so she can win the car. And there's a truly funny exchange in which she asks if he's stalking her again. 'No, that's not my thing,' he says. 'Flirting maybe.' It's a clever nod to a conversation around the show regarding Charlie's aggressive behavior, especially in early seasons, that also underlines his complete lack of self-awareness. As the Waitress is living in her car, she jumps at the chance to upgrade her domicile, slapping the shit out of Dee before discovering they're not actually giving away a Tesla. When she threatens to go to the police, Frank and company dispose of the evidence, but Charlie reveals that Frank's urgency is because he had crossed the 'girls gone wild' line and was staging an orgy in the basement. After the blame game is complete, the Gang comes up with a 'no comment'—only to discover that the sole customer in Paddy's Pub isn't a reporter. She's the sex worker for Frank's orgy. Stray observations • Never using Elon's actual name is wonderful—you know he would have loved being referred to as something other than 'The Space Nerd'—as is Dee's revelation that she thinks the Cybertruck is ugly. She is not wrong. • Playing 'In the Hall Of The Mountain King' while Dee slaps the sanity out of people is a season highlight. • Charlie has so many good lines this week, including 'They're too dry! And so they don't feel wild!' and 'How do you get the oil out of the baby?' • Mary Elizabeth Ellis has been in at least one episode of every season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and we still don't know her character's name. The Gang does! They revealed recently on their podcast that not only did she originally have a name they still know but explain why they will probably never reveal it. It's a good watch.

A new cut of Predator: Killer Of Killers comes to Hulu tonight
Ahead of November release of Predator: Badlands, a new cut of Dan Trachtenberg's last Predator flick will debut on Hulu. At the stage in Hall H this afternoon at San Diego Comic-Con, Trachtenberg shared that a new cut of Predator: Killer Of Killers—the animated Predator movie that debuted in June—will hit Hulu tonight, bringing back a handful of characters from earlier parts of the franchise. The primary thing that's different from the previous cut on the streamer seems to be a new epilogue. Those in attendance this afternoon got a look at the epilogue, which Deadline reports includes Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch from the 1987 original film, Danny Glover's Lieutenant Mike Harrigan from the 1990 sequel, and Amber Midhunter's Naru, which led the 2022 film Prey, which also debuted on Hulu. The outlet reports that Trachenberg told the crowd he got clearance to use Schwarzenegger's likeness over breakfast and to make it canon that Dutch is still floating around out there. (So if or when there are more animated Predator movies, it sounds like there's a good chance that Dutch will be part of them.) Predator: Badlands premieres in theaters on November 7, making it the first Predator film to get a theatrical release since 2018's The Predator. Badlands stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi (who tackle an android and Predator in exile, respectively) and is helmed by Trachenberg, his third entry into the franchise after Prey and Killer Of Killers.
