Jag wins POV and decided to keep the noms the same - which means one of the two "Mamas" are going to jury and Bowie the Barnacle hangs on further. In a more interesting turn of events - other sites are questioning why CBS is requiring Jag and Matt to wear 'compressions shorts' to hide their massive bulges (which were so evident in the beginning of the season). Not fair, CBS !

This morning, someone on television mentioned 'they heard' he was suffering from COPD and was still a heavy smoker - so that may have did him in. We shall see....

By the looks of it, there are plenty of tickets available so no danger in 'waiting it out'.

And this season drags on to the finish line... "Blue" was evicted first in last week's double eviction, and "America" was evicted second. In other words, no surprises there. Matt (who's getting chunkier on each episode) won HOH and put up Cirie and Felicia. Jag wins PoV. Meanwhile, Bowie Jane (who, at 45, has pigtails shooting out of her head and laughs at fart jokes) is still hanging on. She has made an alliance with Jag / Matt as well as Cirie / Felicia to take her to the final three. This barnacle had no game play, and no winning skills to speak of - yet she's still there. Either she's the worst player in history or the best.

The 2023-24 Broadway season is shaping up to be one of many revivals; both musicals and plays. This will make some rather interesting competition come Tony Awards night next June. So far: MUSICALS: Merrily We Roll Along (October 10 - March 24) Spamalot (November 16 - Open Ended) Tommy (March 28 - OE) The Wiz (April 17 - OE) Cabaret (April 21 - OE) Gutenberg : The Musical ! (October 12 - January 28) Here Lies Love (July 20 - OE / Off B'way in the past productions but could possibly qualify as revival)

CDAN is usually correct in what it reports. This report came out last week, so the info is very new - and it is saying she is currently redesigning the tour to shorten it - so who knows how soon it will be finalized, and go into effect. Maybe it will not change until after she finishes the European leg of her tour , and she heads to the states in the new year? Something to keep an eye on if someone is planning on going after the new year, I would think. I'd be surprised if CDAN was wrong on this one. Aside from that, I'm surprised that tickets have not sold out at most of her North American tour, yet (especially with Christmas just two months away - no one's interested in buying tickets for Christmas gifts?) . To me, that may be a strong indication that the tour will be redesigned and scaling back.

For those who remember back in the 70s and 80s, his biological dad was well known as the actor / model for Old Spice commercials back then. He played a cowboy in most of the commercials (I completely forgot them until someone on another forum linked to them). His dad was in his late 30s / early 40s when they were made - very handsome, rugged man. Now in his early 80s, he is still handsome (MP posted a picture of them together two weeks ago on IG when he was visiting his dad).

I never watched an episode of "Friends", either - yet it seems like a know every cast member from all the press they have gotten over the past 30 years. On another forum, there is a discussion about him having a bad heart due to his years of substance abuse and being treated for hypertension over the past thirty years - and anyone with any heart problems or hypertension at all (no matter how minor) should not be in a Jacuzzi , sitting in hot water (this could bring on a heart attack ?). I never heard of this before - anyone here know about this ?

1980 - Barbra Streisand's album "Guilty" as well as the first single from the album, "Woman In Love" both hit the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 200 Albums Chart and Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart, respectively. "Guilty" would accomplish this in its third week of release. "Guilty" would stay at the top for 3 consecutive weeks, and stay on the Hot 200 Albums Chart for a total of 49 weeks. The album would spin-off 4 singles : "Woman In Love" (#1), "Guilty" (#3), "What Kind of Fool" (#10), and "Promises" (#48). Within one month of it's topping the chart, the album would be a Gold seller (500,000 units sold). By the end of the decade, it would be certified 5x Platinum (5 million copies sold) and become one of her best-selling albums of all time. It would also be nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year (losing out to 'Christopher Cross') as well as other nominations. "Woman In Love" would stay at the top for 3 consecutive weeks, and stay on the Hot 100 Singles Chart for 24 weeks. It would sell Gold (1 million units) within one month of topping the chart, and go on to be certified Platinum (2 million units sold). It would be Streisand's last #1 single. It was nominated for a "Record of the Year" Grammy, losing out to "Sailing" by Christopher Cross.

"Old Dads" is very funny if you like an old fashioned comedy.

This handsome guy had such a promising career (singing and acting) ahead of him just a few years ago. I recall watching an interview with him (before all this craziness happened) and he really held his own, and was quite interesting to listen to that day. I honestly thought he would go far once 'Empire' was over. How and what went wrong with him after that is a mystery to everyone.

Be kind - his attorney says he has had an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT past few years. I'm sure he meant trying to juggle and decide all his Hollywood offers to star in television shows and movies, no ? 😀

Nine figures to reboot his series - for just two seasons ? That's a lot of money being thrown at him - and 'reboots' don't always work like they are expected to ('Murphy Brown', "Will & Grace", 'Gilmore Girls', etc.). Personally, I think viewers want to see 'fresh' and 'creative' comedies - such as 'The Great' - rather than revisit old shows, most which have to be reworked due to 'cancel culture' (what was funny a decade ago may not make it pass the censors today).

There are many people questioning this. Many people. Yet, the family is providing no answers - the most basic question being "Why doesn't she have health insurance with all her money ?"

Once the statement came out that she was doing better last weekend, donation to the fundraising page started slowing down drastically in the following days. Interestingly, a new tweet went out in the middle of this past week, letting the public know she was back to 'struggling with her breathing' and 'battling to save her life' as her health turned for the worse. And the donations shot up again. As of today, she's $40K away from half a million dollars. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

She's been making more headlines this week about her involvement with her son's kidnapping last November (according to divorce documents filed by her daughter-in-law) than she has been making about her Christmas album.

The plan worked - Cory was backdoored and he's out. Jag won HOH once again this week, put up America and Blue, and also won POV. I hope after he wins the game this season, and brings Matt along for the ride to second place, that Matt thanks him by bottoming for him. And I want to see this on camera.

I agree. I find it very common for people to die within a month or less of their birthday. My mother died just three weeks before her 64th birthday (unexpectedly, from pneumonia) while an aunt of mine died from COVID within a week after her 83rd, when COVID first hit in March, 2020. I remember my uncle passing from cancer just five days before his 60 th in 1989. It's really not surprising to me at all anymore. It's more and more common. Months in between is one thing - but weeks or days is really shocking to me.

Heading to my area soon. Anyone at all with recent experience ? He has a recent review where the client left disappointed - I think it came down to the 'erotic' aspect of the massage, and it was lacking for the rate he paid? The masseur said the client was expecting 'more than what was discussed' as his defense.

In retrospect, DeWitt should have joined her on the boycott 40 years ago, and demanded equal pay to Ritter. There were three stars on that show - not just Ritter. Some trivia: Somers died one day before her birthday. Ritter died six days before his. Kind of eerie they died within a week of their own birthdays.

Joyce DeWitt is remembering Suzanne Somers after her death. DeWitt, who is best known for her role as Janet Wood on Three’s Company, shared a statement with PEOPLE on her hopes for Somers’ family. “My heart goes out to Suzanne’s family,” DeWitt, 74, said. “They are a very close family — deeply connected and caring one to the other. I can only imagine how difficult this time is for all of them.” She also reflected on Somers’ death, writing, “I’m sure Suzanne was greeted by Angels into the loving wisdom waiting for all of us on the other side, and I hope that will assist her family’s hearts in healing as they travel through this difficult time.” Somers and DeWitt's costar Richard Kline — who played Larry Dallas for 110 episodes on Three's Company — also shared a statement with PEOPLE: "Suzanne was a joy to work with. She totally owned and created the character of Chrissy. My condolences to Alan and her family."

In the Spring of 2021, Somers did some nude photos taken in her 'wheat fields' on her estate, and shared them to InstaGram (though not everything was visible). Her husband was the photographer. It was so well received on social media and in the press, she approached Playboy and told them she wanted to do a full nude layout for the October issue, to celebrate her body at 75 years old, as she was never more proud of her body. She wanted celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz to do the shoot (she had worked with her in the past) and offered to split the cost of the photographer. Playboy (which considered her for a model in 1970) passed on her idea.
