Idris Elba is replacing Will in the next Suicide Squad movie. If anything, they should switch roles (even though Idris still isn’t what I think about when I think Richard Williams, he’s got a much broader range than Will.) I’ve also heard SamJack, Don Cheadle, and Mahershala thrown out there, if they want a name for the role. But this would be great:

Gayle King got the first interview, and wow:

LMAO

Sorry for the Charlie Rose but...

Megan Mullally! (I never watched that show.)

There was Garry Shandling’s pre-Larry Sanders show, which is probably now best remembered for Gilda Radner’s appearance. I loved Get A Life! For me, it’s still his best work. And, of course, Roc, which seems largely forgotten but was consistently a huge show among black viewers. The later intro, which featured the En Vogue-performed theme, was so ‘90s.

I was really into Brian Austin Green when he got buff. He did this very hot TV movie where he played Sharon Lawrence’s boytoy.

This is real investigative journalism.

The older guy on the left is built af:

Verdasco has withdrawn from IW, replaced by Gulbis.

There were rumblings that Ian was bracing himself for his own allegations, which he alluded to in his interview. That Apt Pupil set was super sketchy. (And, of course, he’s more than been around the block, as Rupert Everett can attest.)

The sad news about Luke Perry’s death made me a bit nostalgic about the early days of Fox, which I watched more than any broadcast network as a kid. I’m sure that’s true for a lot of late GenXers and early millennials, who watched Married... with Children, The Tracey Ullman Show, In Living Color, The Simpsons, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, Alien Nation, Cops, and later series like Martin, Living Single, BH90210, and Melrose Place. I thought it might be fun to remember some off-the-beaten-path series that don’t get a lot of love these days. Like, for instance, Herman’s Head.

Someone is gunning for an Oscar. He’s not the first person I’d suggest for this role. Speaking of sisters (click through and read Naomi’s replies to comments. They’re hilarious)

Rob Sheffield wrote really great remembrances for David Bowie and Prince, and he’s written one for Luke: From Sen. Sherrod Brown’s wife:

Yikes at this draw:
