Probably collecting dust in a dresser alongside her face roller. New season, new quirks.

Teddi is full of shit. This is one of the most prestigious Oscars after-parties in town. They certainly don't need Lisa Rinna, who's never going to be in the vicinity of the Dolby Theater on Oscar night, to drum up publicity.

Maybe Sir Elton John is a just a really big fan of Harry's work in Clash of the Titans 😄

Sarah seemed to be firing off questions faster than an auctioneer during Victoria’s last 10-15 seconds. I wish she’d be more consistent with her speed.

Isn't he surgically attached to Orange Rind?

And then the car door conveniently left open so that the cameraman could get an artsy shot of filming a sobbing Door-it from the other side of the vehicle. So staged. Sutton acting like a narcissistic space cadet at Kyle’s just gave the Fox Force Five something to hold over her head for the entire season.

This was, without a doubt, my least favorite Marvel movie. Every shitty rumor/spoiler turned out to be true except the Tom Cruise one. I hate the horror genre, and I hate that they sacrificed Wanda (both character-wise and literally) so that Raimi could pretty much recreate The Evil Dead. All that was missing were rapey trees and an evil sentient hand (and for a brief moment I thought they were going there when the demons came after Strange and Zombie Strange and the hand started contorting). Mordo was underused and completely pointless. What about 616’s Mordo from the first movie? Is he still out there stealing magic from those he deems unworthy? With a movie about the multiverse I expected way more surprise appearances than the Illuminati, half of which went out like jobbers. I was a little surprised they’d bring back Anson Mount’s Black Bolt, but I’m guessing taking him out the way they did was Feige giving a fuck you to Perlmutter and his pet project The Inhumans. I don’t think I can even get into the Wanda BS. Total character annihilation so that Raimi could get his horror movie. And like Ikaris from Eternals, way too OP by the end, so Marvel has take the character off the board. If we do get a Young Avengers down the road (and it seems that we will), I’m starting to think Tommy and Billy will not be part of it. This seemed to close the WandaVision story, even though presumably The Vision is still… somewhere. Dr. Strange now has a third eye like his variant. Gross. I had a feeling once I saw Bruce Campbell that Raimi would use his buddy for a wasted after credits scene. As for the mid credits scene, apparently For the sake of saying something positive, I did like America Chavez. Interesting that she’s training. Maybe she’ll encounter Ned one day and teach him some new tricks.

Gina's look was a disaster from the neck down. Why does Shannon always load up on the face work right before each reunion. Shannon's explanation of the Nicole situation still makes no sense. "I only brought it up because I kept saying 'I hope it's not the same Nicole'!" No, IMO she was trying to play the Tamra and stir up drama during the pre-season. But Gina blew it up by spilling the beans way too early. Heather's retaliation of "I could have exposed the affair" was annoying and mean, but since Shannon keeps score on favors given vs. favors received and always "goes out of her way to be nice," I don't mind someone responding in kind. IDK I think I'm just sick of Shannon in general. She should have been purged with her amigas. Noella's new ATM... client... sugar daddy boyfriend bought her a sex toy business? Alrightly then. With only two reunion episodes and really only two storylines this season (Shannon/Noella vs. Gina/Heather, and The Woes of Noella) I'm terrified that another house cleaning is happening next season, and that it would spell the return of Icki.

Oooh. That's more creative than my prediction, which was they'll just say "Because Flashpoint *shrug*"

I think it may be time for that emergency meeting after all...

Did Jaleel throw the game guessing the author of Go the F*ck to Sleep? The other two contestants were clearly BSing their way through reciting the first lines, and he wound up picking the one whose made up verse didn't even rhyme or flow at all. And yet Jaleel was the only one to have claimed to have read and been a fan of the book. Okay then. One of these times, I want a panelist in the 3rd round to say "well I didn't choose #2 because the next round must be 'Before You Go' and they never make anyone move chairs for that round."

Cat guy: “I’ve never told this to a single living soul but I promised my late cat that I’d donate part of my earnings to rescue animals. Obviously it’d be from my equity, not yours.” Cat guy 30 seconds later: “How about you take the 10% I asked for instead of 20%, and your other 10% would be donated?” I think Daymond and I had matching “lol wtf” faces.

I feel bad saying this about a kid, but now that Freddie's gone I hope A'dan follows him right out the door. What a brat. The judges are definitely less concerned about hurting the kids' feelings than previous seasons. Daphne and Aaron are making Joe seem like a teddy bear in comparison.

Since it seems to be a better than 50/50 chance that Warner Bros. pulls the plug on the series, I’m glad this one ended on a mostly positive note and without any big cliffhangers. In fact, it felt like if the series still gets its last two films, it is going to be transitioning away from Newt and friends with Dumbledore playing the main hero now that he’s allowed to get in on the action. Very glad Mads took over the role, as I can’t see Depp’s portrayal of the character as someone who could charm the masses.

I was expecting him to say something incriminating that the avatar who helped Marc earlier would have overheard, which would push her and her god entirely over to Team Marc/Khonshu.

She seemed equal opportunity horny: after the first contestant got booted she made some comment like "awwww she's so gorgeous though." I felt bad for him; he handled it about the only way he could without looking like a jerk, which was be gracious and play along with the flirtation. She likely screwed him over though, since the extra attention put him on everyone else's radar and sure enough, one bad round and he was booted ahead of Michaela even though the paleontologist seemed to be just as much a threat (until he choked the final round).

Casting actors that I find loathsome. All I can ever see when I look at Miles Teller is Miles Teller the arrogant douchebag. For example, I wound up rooting for J.K. Simmons in Whiplash which I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be doing. I'm conflicted on Top Gun: Maverick because the '80s kid in me is like, nostalgia yay! While on the other hand, Tom Cruise and Miles Teller as the leads, boo!

I think they just highlighted the most egregious errors. Few things would be more terrifying than thinking you had HIV, cancer, or a miscarriage. And then to later find out, oops never mind! Difficult to guess how many people ended up mistakenly thinking they had herpes.

Elizabeth giving Sunny the deep-voiced pep talk was great! I was hoping he'd call her out with a "don't use that voice on me." Loved seeing the two of them implode and turn on each other. I'm curious if we're going to hear any bombshells about her during Sunny's defense. Her ex-lawyer trying to lecture her at the end irritated me. She saw what happened with Ian and the way Elizabeth reacted. Why are you expecting remorse, empathy, or any indication of humanity whatsoever from her now? Hopefully her parents took a good long look at themselves. They raised and coddled a sociopath, while their other kid is, as far as I can tell, a colossal douche. Her shift in demeanor when Uber pulled up was chilling. She's an android wearing human skin. "I now love Government Bureaucracy and I don't care who knows it!" Hee.

It's nice to see Steven fighting back a bit, summoning the suit himself and trying to take care of the jackal until it was clear he wasn't well enough equipped yet. It's a shame he's the alter, but maybe once we get to learn more about Marc I'll stop rooting for Steven to gain permanent control. Can't really get a read on Layla yet,

My DVR seems to always record WWHL after RHOC and every week, without fail, one of Andy's questions to the guests is "don't you think it's unfair that Jen Shah gets a free pass while everyone constantly ganged up on Erika?" And every week, without fail, his ass-kissing guests agree with him that Erika was being treated unfairly. In what alternate universe has Erika been ganged up on? Sutton's questions and subsequent backing down? Crystal's meek pointing out that she should be pissed at Tom? Kyle/Doorit/Mauricio/PK having a laugh? Yeah, Erika's really been put through the ringer by her castmates 😒 If Andy's attitude is indicative of Bravo's, then it sure sounds like next season is going to be about Erika's triumphant resurgence, and perhaps some comeuppance for the nay-sayers. Gag.

Noella better hope it's true that the women are not allowed to sue each other for things said on the show, because it's real obvious that she's lying about Heather. The story has changed even more often than Vicki's Brooks cancer stories or Erika Girardi's stories about Tom's mental health.

The Academy needs to get their shit together because what’s being reported now is the opposite of what Will Packer and Whoopi have been saying. And what they’re saying now is making Will Smith look even worse. So then after slapping and throwing f bombs on international television, he then defiantly refuses to leave so that he can accept his award and give his vessel of God speech? And then laughed the rest of the night while dancing to his own music at the after party? If that’s what they’re saying actually happened, then yeah, hope he appreciates his Oscar because that’s now his lifetime achievement award. That said I still think the latest statement is BS and that he wasn’t asked to leave, much less refused to leave.

LOL, I don't buy for one nanosecond that they asked him to leave and that he refused. Unless it was one person (unbeknownst to Whoopi Goldberg et al) asking him and Denzel and others being like don't you dare leave. Or asking him if he felt like he needed to go outside and get some air. But no, I highly doubt either of those scenarios happened... just someone trying really desperately to save face. It's becoming apparent to me that Hollywood thought at first that the General Public would be overwhelmingly Team Will, and when it turned out the spin didn't quite work out that way, folks are now coming out of the woodwork to speak out, or being allowed to speak their true feelings on the matter. He knew a punch would have likely gotten him escorted out of the building, probably by police. I suspect he thought he'd get away with the slap. Plus as an added bonus: an extra bit of humiliation for Chris Rock to be slapped rather than punched.

Body of work probably doesn't factor in until after 50. On the mens' side, I would argue that at this point Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Garfield have more impressive resumes* than Will Smith, despite being around 10 and 15 years younger than him. Hopefully both of them will have plenty more opportunities. * in terms of acting caliber, not box office draw Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure if body of work factors in as much for the women. Young talent seems to have a better chance at Supporting Actress than at Actor/Supporting Actor.
