Not that anyone is checking for this, but just saw Michael Muhney (ex-Adam, Y&R) in a preview for next week's episode of "The Good Doctor."

Really really beautiful episodes! Thanks for sharing! Terry Lester was a god, and Eileen was stunning. She had a few unfortunate hairdos during the '80s (who didn't?), but I love seeing her so fresh-faced with the wet hair.

Gordon Thomson (Mason, SB; Adam, DYNASTY) has come out as a gay man to the public. Lots of good Dynasty dish in this interview, and he eviscerates the reboot. http://www.thedailybeast.com/im-gay-gordon-thomson-dynastys-adam-carrington-comes-outand-trashes-cws-reboot

Ok this show isn't good, but Angela Robinson is fantastic as Veronica. She's a fascinating character who deserves a better show.

The women's tournament was overshadowed by Maria Sharapova mugging for the camera trying to sell books. And the media fell for it because she was the only female star in the tournament other than Venus.

I wonder how the tournament as a whole did ratingswise. A Fed/Delpo match at the U.S. Open especially is always going to be a major event, given their history and status as players. And it was building to a possible Fedal semi, the first ever at Flushing. So it's not surprising that that particular match would boost ratings. I know Novak and Andy aren't fan favorites in the way that Roger and Rafa are, but I can't help but think the tour is severely diminished without them, Stan, Kei, and even Milos to an extent. When five of the top 11 are out, it's bad for the sport. And there was a lack of good competitive matches at this year's USO. Say what you will about the guys who are out, but when they are playing at a high level, they consistently push and often beat Roger and Rafa. And let's be real, the next-tier players haven't really stepped up in their absence at the majors. (Kudos to PCB and Kevin Anderson for capitalizing on opportunities to go deep while folks like Dimitrov, Tsonga, Berdych, Ferrer, Kyrgios, and Sascha Zverev floundered.) One hopes that in 2018, the injured guys pull it together while the youngsters like Shapovalov and Tiafoe polish their mental games and really give fans something worth watching. And I hope Yoshihito Nishioka comes back strong from the ACL injury. I just admire how he owned Jack Sock and really threatened Stan earlier this year. Overall, the USO was a snooze, and tennis feels like it's in a weird transitional moment. But there's a lot to be hopeful about with the American women doing so well. And it'll be exciting to see how everyone adjusts to returns of Serena, Azarenka (fingers crossed), Novak, Andy, Kei, and Stan in 2018.

We may not agree on Novak, but +1000.

Given how poorly Nadal has played on hard courts this summer (wilting to Shapovalov and getting absolutely crushed by Kyrgios), there was no guarantee of a Fedal final anyway. Federer would have had an easier draw, certainly. But what's in it for Murray to "screw up the draw"?

Aviva was so shrill and insane she was unwatchable. Might as well bring back Kelly Bensimon if they bring her back. I also think the show has moved past Jill Zarin. That last season she was clearly acting her way through scenes, and she's not that good of an actress. I'd like to see someone like Heather on RHONY. Level-headed, straight-shooting, tough, speaks truth to crazy, but can bring the drama when necessary.

Well, this is unexpected. /sarcasm http://m.eonline.com/amp/news/871194/luann-de-lesseps-and-tom-d-agostino-to-divorce

Tonight's episode of RHONY is ICONIC.

Lol, I don't even think Donn Swaby looks bad. He looks his age, but he looks good. From the comments here, I was scared he was going to be some kind of ogre. Brook Kerr is being washed out by the lighting, which is taking some years off. Still beautiful, though.

I think it's brilliant. I honestly can't think of a better fit in terms of game, success level, and temperament. Agassi had a way more severe career slump than Novak ever did, so he knows how to bounce back from adversity to achieve great heights. Unlike Andy, Novak seems to be slowly but surely finding his way. He's back in the mix on the Race to London. And I like his chances in Best of Five matches at Roland Garros. I think I can agree with SS that this will be a really exciting RG. Too bad I'll be traveling in SE Asia for the duration of it, but hopefully I can catch some matches.

Disappointed for Novak, but happy for Sasha. Anytime new names break through in the ATP is good for the game. Makes things more interesting. Novak played Sasha like he played Kyrgios. Frustrated, out of sorts. It's all mental.

Veteran players like Serena and Vika both do the loud shouting of "Come on!" to fire themselves up too. It bothers a lot of fans. I don't mind it. Players have their things.

I did watch. I just didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Certainly, his celebrations weren't hindering Thiem's game at all, which would have been problematic. I do think Novak can take too much time between points, but he's nowhere near as egregious as Rafa.

Ah, the Novak hate. 😂 Zverev is way worse than Novak with his yelling after each point/game. DT just doesn't have the weapons to trouble Novak, which we've seen now in five lopsided victories. We'll see what Sasha can bring tomorrow.

Bellucci is PATHETIC. Worst performance I've ever seen from a player in a winning position against a clearly compromised opponent. Just embarrassing.

Pearl Mackie is fabulous. What a nice jolt of energy into the show.

The umpire let her get away with it, though. Spineless.

Siegemund is garbage. Did you see her yelling at the ballkid to "give her the [!@#$%^&*] towel"? Will never root for her.

If I've learned anything this year, it's not to underestimate RF. I still think he goes in as the favorite to RG. The only thing that kept him from multiple French titles was Rafa's dominance, and Rafa's nowhere near the player he was then.

Nadal just has no answers for Fed anymore. It's telling that Berdych (!) played Roger more competitively.

Ha. BB looking for that next gig.

Novak always had to deal with heavily biased crowds when playing against Rafa and Roger. But he learned to stay focused and clutch even when the peanut gallery heckled him (see the 2015 U.S. Open final against Roger, an absolutely heroic performance against an appallingly unsportsmanlike crowd). Boris must have been thinking that a Djokovic with his sh!t together wouldn't have fallen apart so close to victory like Kyrgios and Berdych. Maybe seeing these matches will light a fire under Novak's ass to get back to dominating.
