On tonight’s WWHL, Nene said the housewife from another city she’d like to take on/battle is Lisa Rinna. That would be... interesting.

This summer will be the 10th anniversary of this iconic Serena clip.

SAG Award Film Winners Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture Black Panther Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role Glenn Close, The Wife Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role Mahershala Ali, Green Book Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role Emily Blunt, A Quiet Place Looks like Glenn and Mahershala are the only locks for Oscars. Emily wasn’t even nominated for a Supporting Actress Oscar; her win leads people to believe Regina King (who wasn’t nominated here due to Beale Street not getting screeners to SAG on time) is still the frontrunner. BAFTA might provide some clarity on Malek vs. Bale, but that’s a tough one (actor playing a British icon vs. a British actor). Unsure about Black Panther.

This. It’s beyond overdue. And it wouldn’t be *that* inorganic. At least not any more than the shows already are.

From your lips to God’s ears! 😂

Ivan Lendl is looking MUCH better these days. I hardly recognized him at the trophy ceremony.

Um... 😂

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper did a dry run of “Shallow” at Gaga’s Vegas show. Gotta fine-tune it for the Oscars, I suppose.

This match was BANANAS. The closest thing to gladiatorial spectacle I’ve seen on a tennis court.

I like that TC has the rights to those matches. The wheelchair matches were quite entertaining as well.

I didn’t realize Lorenzo Musetti won the boys’ single championship. It looked like the American Emilio Nava was in total control of that match. But... cool!

Well, here’s a stat!

Yeah. I just edited my post because I’d forgotten Serena had actually won four in a row in 2014-15.

Oh no. He just meant winning consecutive slams within the past eight years (Serena, W & USO, 2012 and USO, AO, RG, & W in the second “Serena Slam” and her quest for the CYGS in 2014-15). Naomi broke an eight Slam streak of different individual champs.

😂

You’re welcome, @DramatistDreamer. We were really beginning to face these very issues when I worked in cable, so I try to read everything about streaming I can find, only because it’s very fascinating to see how it’s evolving. Case in point: As we discussed previously:

Indeed. Chris Fowler just mentioned she was the first back-to-back Slam champion on the women’s side in the past eight years other than... Serena. Good company. Her clay/grass games probably need some work to get those French and Wimbledon titles just yet, but how great is it to be No. 1 and still have so much room for improvement, even on hardcourt? And oh snap, Matt Zemek with the shots fired against Ben Rothenberg (and his anti-Bo5 obsession): Petra’s emotional runner-up speech:

NAOMI DID IT! Wow. Incredible. Back-to-back Slams and the new World No. 1! Choked in the second, holding multiple championship points, but collected herself and pushed through. That really delivered the drama. So, so good. Gutted for Petra, but she’ll have chances with the next two Slams.
