The opening lyric, “I guess I should’ve known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last,” has been in my head ALL week for some reason.

From Los Angeles 🇺🇸

For some reason, I thought that was already announced, and I guess it was just assumed.

Loren Lott (Ana, Y&R) has her next role lined up: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/olunike-adeliyi-loren-lott-join-cbc-bet-civil-rights-drama-the-porter-1234969204/

Ugh…

OK, Meghan decided to get buck with Whoopi just now, and I can’t imagine that’s going over well during commercial break. I have a feeling Meghan is gonna be gone soon. They just apologized to each other after they returned from break.

From the Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Michael Mealor has great hair. That’s about as nice as I’ll be about what I’m seeing.

Good for Felix! People are saying, oh Roger needs more time. Time isn’t exactly a friend when you’re an athlete pushing 40 (who just underwent two knee surgeries). But we shall see! I never count him out.

Wow, Kiki Bertens is retiring.

From Indonesia 🇮🇩

Lol. The gasp from the audience… He should have been immediately defaulted and suspended for that.

Yeah, it felt strange actually. Not even because of residual COVID fears… just not used to it! Pretty much. Even black folks on Twitter are like, “Eboni, chill.”

Super short-sighted as usual. They make a ton of bank off of Roger especially, but that well is about to run dry, and they don’t have that many backups, especially on the men’s side. The networks lavish airtime on male American players who just aren’t in contention for majors and probably never will be. By the way, what ever happened to Jared Donaldson?

Glad that Heather addressed and squashed that incident in which she accidentally liked and expressed agreement with an Instagram comment referring to Eboni as a “race baiter.” Queens of Bravo tried to give legs to that nothingburger. And Heather was right that her (now-deleted) agreement with the IG comment didn’t even really make sense in context. That said, I’m tired of “teachable moments” on RHONY right now. It’s too heavy-handed. It’s like they felt they had to tackle 12 seasons of exclusion in a few episodes. Heather’s apology to Eboni on WWHL:

2016 is the last time there was a non-Nadal final (when Djokovic won his first, over Andy Murray). When Nadal makes a Roland Garros final, it’s almost a foregone conclusion he’ll be holding the trophy, so there’s less reason for people to watch. I’m sure that 2013 semifinal was that intense five-setter between Rafa and Novak.

Eboni’s a little annoying. She’s losing me. We knew good and well Leah wasn’t leaving when she could hog camera time.

That’s fair, considering AMC felt like they could only nurture a handful of actors (Minshew, Mathison, Budig, Kaye). But I never was that into him on DAYS, partially because I found his character so loathsome and not in a fun way. Just wasn’t my bag. Beautiful man, though.

Certainly James Scott’s charisma didn’t quite hit as well on AMC. I, for one, got tired of all his blinking as E.J. Like, dude, need some Visine?

Who is the *dishy* henchman who appeared after Nik and Ava got in the elevator?

LOL you hit all the shows where she’s darkened the doorsteps. He hasn’t done Patrick Mulcahey yet, has he? He would be up for it, but AL gets a bit pearl-clutchy when people are a bit too frank for his PR-honed sensibilities.
