Q: Has the TV show “Shark Tank” been canceled? I haven’t seen any new episodes in a long time, even before the pandemic. I do watch the reruns on cable though. – S.P.
A: “Shark Tank,” ABC’s show about aspiring entrepreneurs presenting new products to a group of well-established investors, is gearing up for its next victims. In fact, initial filming for a new season has already begun in a Las Vegas hotel, with strict safety precautions in place.

One of the show’s “sharks,” Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, told “Variety” magazine that he and his fellow investors sat at least 6 feet apart during filming and all were quarantined inside the hotel. (They used to film in a studio pre-pandemic). Be sure to mark Friday, Oct. 16, on your calendar for the 12th season premiere of “Shark Tank.”
Q: I agree with Crissy Teigen. I find it hard to believe that the women on the reality show “Selling Sunset” are real estate agents. They seem more like models who just show off the houses, and all the contracts are done by someone else behind the scenes. – O.T.
A: “Selling Sunset” is a reality series on Netflix that features a group of agents selling multimillion dollar homes in Los Angeles. The Oppenheim Group is an actual brokerage in the Hollywood Hills that’s owned by twin brothers. Teigen, a social media star and former model herself, has her doubts about the female agents’ credentials, stating “I look at LA real estate a lot and have never seen any of these people, LOL. [Neither] have our agents, who I have obsessively asked.”
One of the leggy realtors, Heather Rae Young, responded by saying she’s had her license since 2014 and that “you can look up the proof.” She even invited Teigen to come to visit the Oppenheim Group, where “we’ve all been in the office for years and years.” Another agent, Maya Vander, told “E! News” that she actually sold a house on the same street where Teigen and her husband, singer John Legend, recently closed on a home.

Q: Is singer Britney Spears’ father still in charge of all her money? Why won’t the courts allow her to be free from his control? – S.U.
A: Spears, now 38 years old, has been living under a conservatorship controlled by her father for 12 years. It seemed necessary at the time, as Spears appeared to be suffering a mental breakdown. Since then she’s performed a live show in Las Vegas for four years but has since taken a break.
The court recently extended her conservatorship through February 2021, but has given some control to her sister, actress Jamie Lynn Spears, who was named a trustee of Britney’s estate. As for why this has been going on for so long, no one is saying.
