I suspect this will have wide-ranging consequences in global politics.

Awkward.

Oh sh!t. ALSO: Bryan Singer claims that Fox wouldn't allow him time off to take care of a "gravely ill" parent:

Slight tangent, but she's pretty much the perfect choice to replace the disgraced Charlie Rose.

It's crazy. The Fox execs warned him that "they would not tolerate any unprofessional behavior" before he even started. So they were willing to take a risk on him knowing he could implode at any point. I'm sure there's an exposé coming, and he's been contacted over the past few weeks to respond to various claims as journalists vet stories from his alleged victims in preparation for pieces. He has a longstanding rep for being unstable (remember Halle Berry reportedly telling him to "kiss her black ass" on the set of X-Men?), so the coming bombshells have to be pushing him over the edge. Speaking of Singer AND Spacey, look at this:

They had THE BEST soundtrack. A good mix of popular stuff like Erasure and little gay gems. I was obsessed with this when it played over the end credits.

He was certainly better than his resume, for sure. He was often a jackass, but at least he was nice eye candy in his prime.

He's not wrong.

How funny. I suppose Agassi couldn't do it full time. Edit: just saw that Agassi is staying on.

The funny thing is that Nicollette is actually English. She was born and raised there until she was 10. Not sure if she can still do the accent (I'm sure she can), but I doubt she will for this role.

One of those "skeletons" is publicly known:

The sound of summer 2017.

My sentimental favorite. IMO the best marriage of music (The Supremes' "Reflections") and visuals from the show. The show wasn't my favorite, but the images are cool. This is super cool: This is beautiful The best

Doing a bit of 2017 year in review...

Memories of childhood listening to the Quiet Storm program at night on Majic 108 in St. Louis.

It's the 20th anniversary of Michael Hutchence's death...RIP.
