Not a huge Carole fan, but glad she at least stood her ground with Queen Bethenny.

I feel like he was hiding in plain sight given all the weird news stories about him over the years, but it’s still surprising. There are few stars with more respect than Morgan Freeman. I’m sure Jason Bateman is breathing a sigh of relief that the news cycle has so quickly moved on from his plight.

A somewhat uncomfortable NYT interview with most of the Arrested Development cast in which Jessica Walter tearfully confirms that Jeffrey Tambor verbally abused her on set. Tambor takes his licks, and Jason Bateman, David Cross, and Tony Hale come to his defense, which isn’t going over well on social media. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/23/arts/television/arrested-development-netflix-interview-jeffrey-tambor.html Looks like Jason Bateman is having his Matt Damon moment. Also, Moses Farrow defends Woody Allen and alleges some very alarming physical and emotional abuse from Mia Farrow. I realize his assertions aren’t new, but these are the first I’ve read in this level of harrowing detail. http://mosesfarrow.blogspot.com/2018/05/a-son-speaks-out-by-moses-farrow.html?m=1

Whoa.

^That hair tho.

I had been wondering why he’d been severely underperforming this past clay season, and this may explain the utterly lackluster performance against Isner in Miami.

He is getting dragged up and down the street for this. This clip is hard to watch because I don’t think there are two more obnoxious people than Andy and Jenny McCarthy.

I was reminded of that absolutely epic Bronson Pinchot interview with AV Club years ago in which he goes IN on Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington. But he spoke a lot about his time on PS and how rough it was, how his relationship with Mark-Linn Baker was initially rocky but became a very deep bond. It is one of the most honest interviews I’ve certainly ever read from a celebrity. https://www.avclub.com/bronson-pinchot-1798218088

It sort of serves Sascha right to have his match unravel due to a rain delay today. It was ridiculous that he didn’t get a time warning and racquet abuse violation during the Goffin match. Halep is the also-ran again this year. Svitolina has looked amazing, but how many times has she looked “amazing” only to tank in Slams?

Thank you, Simona Halep!

Who dis?

Great match between Kei and Novak. Kei’s level dropped considerably from that dominant first set, but that third set was an intense battle. Glad to see Novak putting together some solid wins. Not sure if he’s serving well enough to beat Rafa, but at least the fire is back. I knew Ostapenko wouldn’t be steady enough to defeat a tenacious Maria. Not sure who has a better shot of taking out Maria, Halep or Garcia, but both have recent wins after her after nothing but losses.

Nishikori beat the brakes off Kohlschreiber. Didn’t expect him to be so dominant in that matchup. Djokovic is having trouble closing out Ramos-Vinolas. It’s sad that, if he gets over the line, he’ll have to meet Nishikori in the quarterfinals. They’ll knock the f*** out of each other, softening each other up to be easy pickings for Rafa. But somewhat encouraging signs from both. Sad that Del Potro is seemingly injured. Hope he recovers for RG. The Zverev-Edmund TB looked epic. Sascha held his ground, though. Meh, Sharapova. Can someone get this girl together in Serena’s absence? Not sure Ostapenko is the one to do it.

For those who watch the commercials during RuPaul’s Drag Race:

Sevastova’s perpetual cryface bugs the hell out of me, but I like how she can totally break down someone’s game under the right circumstances.

Oh dear. Well, let’s see if Gavrilova has enough left to take out Masha. The women’s matches look good tomorrow. Konta/Ostapenko Kasatkina/Svitolina Halep/Keys Sakkari/Kerber Venus/Kontaveit rematch Sloane/Garcia Dasha/Masha Sevastova/Wozniacki

Maria Sharapova is just the worst. I must admit she throws good shade at times, but someone who served a lengthy suspension for a failed drug test needs to have SEVERAL seats and be humble as Kendrick Lamar said.

She definitely deserves a fine, just like Jared Donaldson did. Actually what she did was worse. I’m seeing some people say she deserves a suspension, and that wouldn’t bother me. Adults just don’t resolve things with violence. What a shameful tanking from Schwartzman. Saw Venus survived a tough three-setter with Elena “HIYAAA!” Vesnina.
