Leighton Meester & Adam Brody have baby boy #2

That's effing poetic justice right there! ;-) I hope no one else picks them up. I have to agree with others who liken them to cockroaches - nothing can get rid of them forever.....But without tv, might be easier for me to ignore ;-) I've never watched, but still know way too much about the family....

Yes, that's the remake I'm referring to- the one with Whoopi.

Last season of the show - 2021!!!!!!! Let's hope it is really the end....

Didn't they just remake that? I was living in Salt Lake when they filmed the original - lots of it in City Creek Canyon, right next to where I lived. So normally I hate steven king (I can't do scary!!) But I had to watch that....

Dear god I added another streamer - Peacock. I can't even use my smart tvs for that damn option! But I really wanted to watch AP Bio and the new Psych movie, and I have 3 months free from Universal (we got season passes for the parks in Florida in February.... before we knew what 2020 would bring) So we watched the first AP Bio and the Psych movie this weekend and also a couple episodes of Third Rock from the Sun because we've been trying to watch on Amazon prime but that never wants to load on the tv we watch the most. So we hooked up my laptop to the tv and watched Peacock that way......

Really enjoyed Jessica Simpsons memoir. Who knew?! Had our first book club for Prisoners of Geography on Saturday and that was amazing. We talked for 3 hrs - and some of it was actually the book! 😉 Next book club in a month... Half way through The Woman Before Wallis by Bryn Turnbull - historical fiction about David, Prince of Wales mistress before Wallis, Thelma, Lady Furness. Aunt of Gloria Vanderbilt too...Very well written and y'all know I have a minor Wallis obsession so this is an interesting piece of history/fiction to add. It's her first novel too, I think.

Ha! Was just coming to post a link for the house reno repayment. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/amp33942968/prince-harry-repays-frogmore-cottage-renovations/?__twitter_impression=true

I'm too pragmatic to think that Netflix or any other big company would do the right thing because it's the right thing. They do what will get them a lot of press and money and if they choose the more diverse option among a couple of big potential earners, for now I'm happy with that. They gave Ava Duvernay & Shonda Rimes good deals too - which is good for everyone - they are proven talents who ALSO make money, they are committed to diversity at depth - at all levels, they rise and pull up others behind. So far, I'm not sure there's another entertainment company doing as much. So, pragmatically 😉 I'm going to continue to praise Netflix a little. EVERY charity wants visibility. Whether it's a royal patronage or Hollywood celeb or something going viral in social media - it brings attention, and attention can bring money.....

I love Allison Janney, but Anna Faris is really the heart of the show. Or rather, the two together. I don't see how you can have Mom without the Daughter.....

What I have liked about their approach thus far is they are choosing DIVERSE charities/groups to work with. And to me it seems they try to center those groups and not themselves. I really think they're trying to use their celebrity to bring attention & shine a light. Yes, I'm sure I have my rosy glasses on - that's ok sometimes when it comes to philanthropy. Does it really matter how it happens when the Hub cookbook is a best seller, raising funds for a good cause?

Really? I sort of figured they'd stick it out. True love, yeah, but also - how could they give the racist assholes who undermine them the satisfaction of a divorce?

Or we could just start a new thread?

Doesn't bother me at all. They have to make money - I have hopes their programming will have integrity. And heck, use the Obamas and Oprah as role models - they're making money too, high quality stuff, own production companies - opportunities to enhance/increase real diversity if they want to (I'm reading Lainey's piece on this now) I'm not judging. This is a hell of a lot better than whatever creepo Andy was doing trying to get rich people into the Palace for whatever reasons he had....(I do not think enhancing Britain's trade relations was his guiding motive....)

Was just going to update the date, like "Elections 2016-2020"?
