Has she been Chloe yet? And why hasn’t she been a man yet?

The Janet/Justin Super Bowl debacle and Janet’s subsequent blacklisting are reportedly getting the “Framing Britney Spears” treatment. JT is probably bracing himself for another brutal reckoning (as well as Les Moonves, whose obsession with ruining Janet’s career will also be tackled in the doc). https://pagesix.com/2021/04/26/framing-britney-producers-making-janet-jackson-super-bowl-doc/

Huge ratings collapse, per Variety:

“Rapstar” is No. 1 for a second week. The Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears” is on track for No. 1 next week with an Ariana remix.

Episode will air May 21.

Did Moses really have a chat with Nick before ever meeting his sister Lily? The story surrounding Kyle’s secret is oddly constructed. Why is Kyle hiding the paternity of Harrison from Jack of all people? Like I’m not waiting on pins and needles anticipating how Jack will respond...

Eli/LA really looks amazing. Whatever he’s doing for his skin is working.

Lily looks great in that sparkly dress. Y&R has a lot more energy lately (actual conflict) and seems to have stabilized in the ratings (recently beating TPIR in both ad demos), but it’s still pretty bad. This is likely the best it’ll get for the foreseeable future.

So cool. Will keep my ears out for any dish. Also saw this. Porsha 🔥

LOL this is how the Oscars should have ended last night:

Sir Anthony Hopkins posted his short acceptance speech from beautiful Wales and paid tribute to Chadwick: https://www.instagram.com/p/COHpbqpHcqY/?igshid=aengf8ff0dqp

But BAFTA got both right. I figured them awarding Hopkins was just Brit bias (plus they have a bad track record of recognizing Af-Am talent). Indeed. And they had all those prior pandemic-adjusted ceremonies to learn how to do an entertaining ceremony in these difficult times. The Grammys actually nailed it.

You were right about Frances! They put Actor last, banking on a Chadwick win, and screwed themselves when an absent Anthony Hopkins won. LOL. You were also right about that, @Toups.

The promo for it was SO snoozeworthy, but apparently it was good? I made the wrong call to watch these lackluster Oscars....

I like winners having more time to speak, but this is boring. Zero atmosphere. No clips for the nominated actors, just last year’s winner gushing at them individually? No stills for the makeup and hair nominees? Isn’t this supposed to be promotional for the films? The Grammys did a much better job of updating their format this year.

Wow

Stef, yikes.

This show... SMDH. These trite, recycled, predictable stories...

Can you imagine—MM as Hilary, KM as Amanda, and Leigh-Ann Rose as Imani? It would be beyond epic. Classic soap yet groundbreaking. It’s sad that it’s not even remotely a possibility. B&B could probably hire one of the Pose actresses, like MJ Rodriguez.
