Potomac reunion trailer has dropped...

James Wlcek is and always has been gorgeous. Helen Gallagher is still with us at 94. I wonder how she’s doing these days.

Watching Grey’s again, and I forgot how annoying I found the Sorkin-esque style of every scene requiring a rambling, self-indulgent monologue.

I’m Team No One in the Chris/Michael fight. They both behaved like twats there, and I can’t stand Michael.

The trailer for the Wendy Williams Lifetime movie:

They’re taking over Joy Reid’s weekend slots officially, Cross on Saturday and Capehart on Sunday.

It’s tough, I know, but IMO the charts feel particularly off right now.

My top 5 most-listened-to songs on Spotify this year:

The Talk names Amanda Kloots and Elaine Welteroth as new co-hosts, replacing Marie Osmond and Eve: https://tvline.com/2020/12/01/the-talk-new-hosts-amanda-kloots-elaine-welteroth-season-11-cast/

I happened to watch the premiere, even though I’m kind of “eh” on the show. I really like Grace Park (Katherine) here, even though she has that icky NXIVM stuff swirling around her IRL. She’s a great actress.

This guy sort of reminds me of David Tennant.

Diane Jenkins and Hilary Curtis - Y&R I mean, there are almost too many to list. Soaps can often be so short-sighted in their search for big climaxes to stories (for ratings), and one decision made by a single reckless regime can hobble a show for generations.

Yeah, for me, charts need to accurately reflect what people are consuming, and streaming and radio are the ways most people listen to music. And the industry wants to incentivize revenue and reward fandom. But how many people beyond the small-set of BTS fans are listening to “Life Goes On”? That’s really the No. 1 song in America now? The charts have always been an imperfect way of providing a snapshot of what’s popular, but I can’t see how Billboard’s current situation does anything other than accelerate their march toward total irrelevance.

BTS fans have learned how to game the system so well that BTS is going to end up with the most No. 1s in history if BB doesn’t significantly change methodology.
