MacLaine was Andrew Lloyd Webber's very first choice to play 'Norma Desmond' in his LA musical 'Sunset Boulevard'. He made this public in 1991-92, when it was in the planning stages. He also wanted Angela Lansbury to open his Broadway production, as he wanted both to open at the same time. As it turned out, both Lansbury and MacLaine refused his offer - they didn't want to be tied to a musical at that time in their lives. (MacLaine was in her late 50s, Lansbury was pushing 70).

Navarro never liked McCain on the panel, and the two of them exchanged a few (verbal) blows on the show the seasons McCain was on. Since she left the show three years ago, Navarro keeps taking these jabs at her every so often (seems like very often the past few months). She doesn't identify her, though the 'info' she gives is clearly aimed at her.

I see the normalization of 'emotional support animals' only among Zoomers and Millennials on the college campus where I work. I don't see the Boomers and Gen Xers (who make up the faculty and staff) walking around with support animals.

The Kardashians have set the bar so low for fame and fortune for these younger generations. If they could build a fortune over the past twenty years by releasing graphic sex tapes, why can't he ? If it backfires, he's a VICTIM !

Wait until they move on to buying a new car, renting an apartment, or (gasp!) buying a home. Side story: I work in a university. In the department I previously worked in, I worked with about a dozen student workers (aged 18 - 22). One particular day, I worked with a sophomore student (19) and we had to close the department at the end of the day. It was her first closing shift. As I was shutting down computers, printers, etc. I gave her a key and asked her to lock a cabinet door (we locked it every night, as it contained petty cash). She asked me, "Do I have to ?" I thought it was an odd question, and responded, "Yes - you do that while I take care of the rest of the closing procedure". (This was explained to her when she was interviewed and later hired that she would be assisting with different closing procedures as assigned to her, when she worked an afternoon shift - she never mentioned an anxiety disorders with keys and locks). The next day, she told my supervisor that I made her 'feel uncomfortable' locking the cabinet door, because she has anxiety 'handling keys and locking doors'. No word of a lie. My supervisor, of course, coddled and comforted her and told the staff we could no longer assign any closing tasks to the student workers. So from that day forward, they would sit and watch the staff member run around the office doing the time-consuming closing procedure by ourselves. I couldn't get out of that department fast enough (the coddling of these students was getting worse each year - they had regressed back to pre-K). As for the student - she is now a junior and she's an RA (which means she gets free room & board). Her 'duties' include securing the outside doors at midnight and making sure they are locked during her shift- otherwise she has to lock them. I'm so happy her anxiety was cured. I could write pages of what I have witnessed over the past ten years working for this university, and the different 'anxiety' excuses the students have used.

The Cheesecake Factory needs to take note: Gen Z and Millennials have been suffering from menu anxiety. 'Menu anxiety' is triggered by the prices, selection, and regrets about what they ordered off the menu, according to a survey of 2,000 Zoomers by British restaurant chain Prezzo (which serves Italian cuisine). In addition, over one-third of Millennials said 'having too many options' on the menu is also a trigger. About half of the 25 - 34 year olds surveyed said what triggers their anxiety is not being able to pronounce the item off the menu, while a third want to order meals only if they look great on their social media. 38% of Zoomers and Millennials have said they won't patronize a restaurant if they can't look at the menu beforehand. A third of Zoomers have said they've asked other people in a restaurant to order for them. Gen Z Have 'Menu Anxiety' and Ask People to Order for Them in Restaurants: Survey WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM "Menu anxiety" can be triggered by the cost of a meal, having too many options, and not looking at a menu beforehand, according to a new survey.

Apparently, he's 24 years old. That's a very rough looking 24 year old (to me). I don't find him attractive at all.

“I don’t understand why my former colleagues @TheView @ABC bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,” McCain tweeted a few hours after the show aired. “It has been years - move on, I have.” “I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American - I would never and have never ‘influenced peddled’ in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries,” she added. “Not all politicians children are the same - and I am no Hunter Biden. All accusations are absurd, defamatory and slanderous. I will be consulting my lawyers regarding what was libeled against me on The View this morning.” McCain was referring to comments made by current co-host Ana Navarro during a segment about the Republican Party’s relentless campaign to smear President Joe Biden with the actions of his son Hunter. “Did Hunter Biden influence peddle on his last name? Yes he did! So did half of Washington,” Navarro said. She then appeared to catch her co-hosts off guard when she added, “People at this table did it!” Asked for clarification by McCain’s de facto replacement Alyssa Farah Griffin, Navarro explained, “I’m not talking about currently.” At that moment, the reaction around the table made it clear they knew which U.S. senator’s daughter Navarro was talking about—even if they declined to make it explicit for the audience. That means McCain was the first to directly connect the comments made on the show to herself, which could complicate her proposed attempt to claim libel.

VERY well said ! If they are going to be clothed, or if they don't do erotic - then promote your image in nearly naked photos ? It's like a baker promoting intricately decorated cakes on his website, then telling you he doesn't decorate cakes - he just frosts them. WTF ?

I was referring to the prime time specials - I don't think she's coming back, no matter what the spin is today.

Excellent review of the show, though I still don't see season 2 as improved as the reviewer does.

I hope she's replaced by someone who is a little more competent in the role, male or female. I'm going to miss her giving a clue from a French category pronounced in her best high school French.

I think the next primetime specials air in May (tape in April). The ones for the Fall are wrapping up now. It's been so confusing with the scheduling because of the strikes this summer.

Yes, she left in May when the writers' strike began. That's when Jennings took over as solo host full time. She hasn't really been missed, since Jennings has done a fine enough job. As far as the primetime special - the statement seems rather vague. I guess they're trying to say she will return for them, but I think they will just drop her completely and she will be forgotten.

One more episode left. This season has been uneven at best. Season 1 was great because it focused on her start at GBH, and took place in the studio with her as the star. Season 2 meandered all over the place, the focus was on her supporting players and the studio seemed an after-thought. We shall see what the last ep brings, it needs a third season to tie up loose ends.

One more episode to go, and the season slogs on. This season's been very predictable from the start, with nothing exciting nor suspenseful in the storylines (Cynthia Nixon's story arc has been the worst). I really doubt there will be a season 3, but who knows what HBO is thinking these days (they've made some ridiculous decisions over the past few years).

She's been an actress for a very long time. Her 'claim to fame' was back in 1988 when she played the 'young Bette Midler' in the movie 'Beaches'. She got a new following of fans when she co-starred in the CBS sitcom 'Big Bang Theory' (2010-19).

The rotating host, who started in the Spring of 2022 with Ken Jennings, announced on her social media Friday night: “As the holiday break begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news. Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy! I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family. For all of you who have supported me through this incredible journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff and crew of America’s Favorite Quiz Show, thank you.” A few hours later, Sony explained their decision to drop her: “We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host for syndicated Jeopardy!. We are truly grateful for all of Mayim’s contributions to Jeopardy!, and we hope to continue to work with her on primetime specials.” I liked them both, but Jennings seemed to have a more natural charm about him in this role as host.

I didn't get it, either. Danielle was 'evicted' as she lost the competition. They lauded her as a 'legend' (WTF?) and cried as though she died. All she did was leave the house - with a check for $5,000. They acted like they were at her funeral. I don't get it. Anyone else notice that Xavier tried to start another 'Cookout Alliance' with Josh, Danielle and Taylor ? That didn't work out too well. Please, CBS , get rid of Frankie.

He's in my area now, with no reviews. Damn, if that's really him - I want to jump on it ! Anyone with info ? Any sleuths with better information ?

Anyone at all ? In my area, my type of guy. 2 reviews - both very good - though the newest one says they booked for 155 minutes and the session was only 60 minutes (and he still gave a five star review?).

And in his memoir from a year ago, he made it clear that when 'his time comes', he wanted to be remembered for his foundation and the help he had given fellow addicts over the years - not for being a TV star on 'Friends'. Sure enough, every obit on him focused on his role on 'Friends' and gave a 'mention' of his foundation towards the end. Just what he didn't want.

On Friday, Matthew Perry’s cause of death was determined and an autopsy report obtained by PEOPLE revealed that the beloved Friends star died due to acute effects of ketamine. Drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects were also listed as contributing factors in his death. According to the autopsy report from the Los Angeles County Coroner, the Friends alum was "reportedly clean for 19 months" before his death, which was ruled accidental. The actor was practicing ketamine infusion therapy and his last treatment took place just "one and a half weeks before" his death, the report stated. However, the coroner noted that "the ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine's half-life is 3 to 4 hours, or less." Buprenorphine is a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Ketamine is a "dissociative anesthetic that has some hallucinogenic effects," per the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. It "distorts the perception of sight and sound and makes the user feel disconnected and not in control," and "can induce a state of sedation (feeling calm and relaxed), immobility, relief from pain, and amnesia." Ketamine was approved as a short-acting anesthetic by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 1970s. And in 2019, the Food and Drug Administration approved a nasal spray called esketamine, derived from ketamine, as a medication for depression. However, the drug is also illegally taken to get high, as it can put people into a relaxed or detached state. Over the years, many stars have opened up about using ketamine to specifically treat addiction in the past — including Lamar Odom, who said he saw it as a "healthy high" in helping him with substance abuse issues. Sharon Osbourne has spoken about pursuing ketamine treatment after developing anxiety in 2021. More recently, Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra told PEOPLE he started ketamine therapy to unlock repressed memories and help him work through childhood trauma, and Dynasty star Catherine Oxenberg also spoke with PEOPLE about her experience using ketamine therapy to overcome trauma after rescuing her daughter India from the NXIVM cult.

Ketamine therapy is a treatment that uses low doses of the drug in order to manage various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The American Psychiatric Association does not provide specific guidelines for the use of ketamine. But a 2019 study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital found that patients with anxiety experienced lessened symptoms just 40 minutes after taking a low dose of ketamine. Ketamine can come in different forms, including nasal spray, IV therapy, injections, and lozenges. Side effects of using the medication include nausea, dizziness headaches, dissociation, vertigo, drowsiness, psychosis and more. In the past year, ketamine therapy clinics have been appearing throughout the U.S. At most clinics, patients start with a screening, and, if qualified, they get a shot of ketamine and are led through a guided meditation. Afterward they meet with a therapist. Treatments can run from $400 to $800 a session, on average, and aren't covered by insurance. Although ketamine has gained popularity, it is only safe when prescribed by a doctor for a specific purpose.
