Nene has such a fragile ego, which won’t end well.

There’s something about Yovanna that reminds me of the choreographer Laurieann Gibson of Making the Band (Diddy/Danity Kane version) and So You Think You Can Dance fame.

Kenya and Porsha as besties cracks me up. Reminds me of former sworn enemies Brandi and Kim becoming sister-friends on BH. Nene’s “You hit my window, I’mma f*** you up!” to Yovanna made me holler.

Barring a surprise release from Adele or Rihanna, it looks like Mariah will score her 19th No. 1 with a 25-year-old song, possibly next week:

What I loved about Curlee’s GL (and Labine’s GH) was how it respected soaps as a female genre—centering female diversity and female friendships—while also populating the show with complex male characters who felt absolutely credible, lived in, and with unique points of view that weren’t always likable but always recognizably human. They weren’t just himbos who existed solely to be shirtless or knights in shining armor or self-pitying misogynists or cretins (like Todd Manning or Jonathan Randall or the various dubious “heartthrobs” we saw emerge in the late ‘90s and 2000s). Springfield and Port Charles were such rich, interconnected canvases. If something major happened in one story, you saw how the effect rippled across the entire community.

After Nishikori dropped him, Dante Bottini has been snatched up by Nicolas Jarry. Oof. Not feeling the blond on Domi.

So the LA Film Critics vote Sunday, the Golden Globe nominations are announced Monday, and the SAG nominees (probably the best indicator of the Oscars) are announced Wednesday. The season is shaping up.
