Kevin Spacey is once again on the comeback trail, and has “forgiven those who rushed to judgment”.  And if there’s one thing missing from my life, it’s Spacey’s forgiveness.  Now I can sleep soundly!  He made his remarks at the Italian Global Series Festival, where he also said he’s “incredibly excited about going back to work in a substantial way.”  I’m also excited about sleeping with Brad Pitt – but it doesn’t mean that it’s happening. 

Jussie Smollett is back in the news.  Blasted all over social media are photos of Smollett getting down on his knees – which certainly doesn’t surprise moi!  He’s doing it in front of someone identified as his boyfriend, Jabari Redd (no relation to Sharon Redd or, presumably, Redd Foxx).  The caption said, “I’ll be spending my birthday with my Fiancé…He said YES!”.  While I wish them the best, the word “prenup” springs to mind.

You know who else is coming back?  Lisa Kudrow…or rather her character Valerie Cherish.  Yes, HBO is bringing back The Comeback for what is being billed as its “third and final season”.  For those of you keeping track, season one aired in 2005.  Season two popped up in 2014.  And season three is due in 2026.  It’s like America’s version of Absolutely Fabulous.  When you least expect it, BOOM, it’s back!

As Heidi used to say, “In fashion, one day you’re in.  The next day, you’re out”.  And the fashion industry’s leading player is out – allegedly of her own accord.  Anna Wintour has announced that she is going to “step aside” as editor of Vogue.  But everyone is quick to mention she will continue as Chief Content Officer for Condé Nast – which sounds like one of those jobs where you get a check to stay home (my ideal job).

I’m going to preface this next story by saying there is no gay angle…that I know of.  But it does involve two or three really hot men.  If you’re watching The Young and the Restless, you know that the show has been building up to reveal the identity of mysterious mogul Aristotle Dumas.  All of a sudden, out pops someone I’ve never seen before in my life.  And Lily says, “Cane?”.  And I’m asking, “Cane?”.  Because Cane was played by another of my pals, the delicious Daniel Goddard – who was Dar in television’s Beastmaster.  But Daniel is currently on General Hospital, so I guess he couldn’t reprise the role of Cane.  So in walks Billy Flynn – not the character from Chicago, but a soap actor who previously played Chad on Days of Our Lives.  And one of his first scenes on Y&R was with Conner Floyd, who plays Chance.  The next day, it’s announced that Floyd just got a new role – to play Chad on DOOL!  What will happen to Chance?  I’m not at liberty to say anything other than…stay tuned!
