It was sort of nice to see how many people took the “Emmy Awards at Home” thing seriously. It was great to see people actually get glammed up to participate in the show via link-up. What was not very cool? The handful of celebrities who did get to come to the auditorium, because it felt like Jimmy Kimmel just invited a handful of his friends and it was awkward as hell. It’s no secret that Kimmel is good friends with Jennifer Aniston, and of course she came to the auditorium to do a “bit” with him. The bit involved a fire extinguisher.

I actually thought this was one of the few successful “filler” pieces of the show, because I don’t believe it was in the script for the fire to keep going on. Aniston had to extinguish the sh-t out of it.

What was in the script was this fakakta Friends reunion – Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow seemingly came by Jennifer’s house for it. Jason Bateman too. Jen must have been hosting a little Emmy party. Party like it’s 1995.

Blah. Anyway, Jennifer lost to Zendaya. And people are talking about her black slipdress like they’ve never seen her wear a black gown ever. Beachy waves, hair down, black dress. She’s been doing the same thing for 25 years!

At the time I’m writing this, I don’t know whether Lainey has written what we both agreed on when we debriefed after the show – even though it was pretty good as a broadcast, we just felt… you know, aware of our pandemic selves. It was a great show, but it didn’t exactly make us forget the state of …

One of the feel-good stories of the 2020 Emmy Awards was a young whippersnapper grabbing the Best Actress in a Drama Emmy away from all of the veterans of film and television. The Emmy felt like it was Jennifer Aniston’s to lose, or failing that, like it was Olivia Colman’s to lose. But no! Zendaya picked up her first Emmy Award for HBO’s Euphoria. She’s only the second Black woman to win a lead-actress Emmy (after Viola Davis). Her winning video became super-iconic right away.

It was sort of the weird side-effect of these pandemic times that several of the winners actually seemed happier to be at home, with everyone on their team and their whole families and all of that. You can tell Zendaya was already making a night of it with her fam and her people, and she was so GIDDY to be able to celebrate it with everyone. And as always, Zendaya shows an other-worldly maturity – she’s always been like that.

One of Zendaya’s looks was what she posted on her social – this is Christopher John Rogers and it’s adorable.

Zendaya’s first look is already a big win. ?? #Emmys

Intro: Minutes 0 to 3:45
We can’t believe how quickly September has been going. I’m still angry at the non mask-wearers in stores. We’re worried about the election and are trying to be prepared and not panic. The polling looks good but we know it could change. You can listen below!

Royals: Minutes 3:45 to 12:15
Meghan and Harry continue to live their best life. They just gave $130,000 to Camfed to match the Sussex Squad’s donation and send African girls to school. They also did it with their own money. Chandra brings up the point that we never hear about royals giving their own money to charity.

It was Prince Harry’s birthday last week and so the Cambridges, Prince Charles and The Royal Family posted photos for him. None of them included Meghan and the one the Cambridges posted was literally of Harry running away from Kate and William on a track.

Minute 6:00 Richard Kay ran a dumb story in the Daily Mail claiming that Prince Harry never smiles when he’s with Meghan, that he’s super sad in general, and calling Harry “woefully out of touch to the problems faced by modern Briton.” This is ridiculous considering the other royals live in castles and Harry is paying his own way now. Richard Kay also said that it’s protocol that you’re not supposed to include photos of spouses in birthday wishes on social media. Courtney in our Zoom meeting found a photo from Prince Charles for Kate’s birthday that disproves this. I play a segment from Zoom that includes Alnaaze, Tanisha and Courtney.

Minute 9:45 Another shady story in Entertainment Tonight claimed that the royal family is not pleased about the Sussexes’ Netflix deal because of the one year review period. Also the senior royals don’t want their work to be eclipsed by the Sussexes. This has been clear for years, as Chandra mentions, as the Cambridges have been actively trying to step on the Sussexes’ press cycles. Also we heard in The Sun that Prince William is “livid” that Harry is working with Netflix, since they put out The Crown. Prince William only has one emotion apparently. Here’s a link to the photos Chandra mentions.

Cardi B and Offset’s divorce: Minutes 12:15 to 16:45
Cardi B, 27, filed for divorce from Offset, 28. They have a two year old daughter, Kulture. He was predictably cheating on her. She’s taken him back when he’s cheated before and she’s been open about that and about all the work she did. They’ve been married three years, they last split in late 2018, and then he crashed one of her performances and begged her to take him back. There were stories for years that he was cheating on her and Chandra calls it a compulsion. We think she has more money and assets than him and are worried about her. I play a segment from Zoom where Karen, Ameerah, Rhiannon and Tanisha talk about Cardi B and Offset’s divorce.

We forget how young Cardi B is. Chandra thinks people on Cardi’s team convinced her to take him back. We hope this split is final for Cardi.

Chris Evans: Minutes 16:45 to 22:00
Chris Evans accidentally posted his own dick pic. It came up in his camera roll at the end of a video he posted to Instagram. Chandra retweeted that video and took a screenshot, which she posted on Twitter. That got her put in Twitter jail for a day where she wasn’t able to post at all. I tweeted a message letting everyone know what happened to her and that got a lot of likes and comments.

After that accident, Chris posted a message with a facepalm and shrug emoji saying “now that I’ve got your attention, vote November 3.” Chandra wonders why everyone was defending him and says he’ll be fine.

Chris has one of those “Guard that Pussy” memes on his phone with a picture of himself and everyone loved that. I play a segment from Zoom where Zakia, Tanisha, Karen and Rhiannon talk about Chris Evans.

Chandra prefers Chris Pine and we think he’s not great in relationships.

User Feedback: Minutes 22:00 to 25:00
We got a question on Twitter about whether we think Will and Kate will be in it to the bitter end no matter what like The Queen and Prince Philip. This was in response to a story about how Prince Philip’s cheating is being glossed over and denied in a new biography about him by Ingrid Seward. We also heard that Philip doesn’t want to live with The Queen anymore.

Comments of the Week: Minutes 25:00 to 29:30
My first comment of the week is from Ms. on Hecate’s post about the mob of anti-maskers at Target.

Chandra’s comment of the week is from lucy2 on the post about Nico Mary responding to a comment that she’s hating on Angelina Jolie.

My second comment of the week is from BeyondTheFringe on the post about Brad Pitt’s girlfriend’s husband carrying Brad’s wine at his restuarant.

Michelle Obama has been promoting her organization When We All Vote and encouraging Americans to not only vote but get involved in the political process. She recently did a collaboration with black owned business The Lip Bar, helping promote Bawse Voter, a power red matte lipstick in which partial profits go to WWAV.

Forever FLOTUS Michelle O appeared on the Black Frasier podcast hosted by 2 Dope Queens alum and comedienne, Phoebe Robinson. During the podcast she played a classier version of FMK called Vacation, Quarantine, Zoom where she had to choose which Chris (Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, or Chris Rock) she’d vacation, quarantine or Zoom with. The segment became hilarious when she had to ask which one was Chris Evans, who coincidentally had a NSFW mishap last week on his Instagram. Here are some quotes from EW:

Appearing on the Black Frasier podcast on Friday with host Phoebe Robinson, the Becoming author was asked to choose between Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Chris Rock in a game of Vacation, Quarantine, Zoom (a “classier” version of F—, Marry, Kill). Her immediate reply was: “OK, all right. Now, who’s Chris Evans again?”

Once she was made aware he was the one who plays Captain America, she chose him as the Chris she would go on vacation with, a choice that has only become more popular ever since the actor’s recent NSFW social media gaffe (though this episode was taped before Evans unintentionally shared more of himself than expected with his Instagram followers).

[From EW]

So many people say the Chrises (the white ones specifically) are interchangeable. They are not. They are very different and I stand by that. With that being said, I disagree with Michelle, I think Chris Evans would be a great Quarantine buddy. I think there’d be a lot of snuggling, cooking and pranks. I’d probably vacation with Chris Rock because it would just be a fun damn time and Chris Hemsworth would be the Zoom call. I still can’t get a read on his personality but he is nice on the eyes.

At least Michelle recognized Chris’s most iconic role so it is not a complete wash. Now it would be cool to see them do an interview with each other about their political endeavors. It was also cute how Michelle and Phoebe thought of each other as honorary cousins because they share a surname. I really miss Michelle O. and seeing her this often the last few months has been a sort of balm in this chaotic climate. Plus she is out here living her best life, wearing her hair natural, and looking moisturized. Which Chris would you Quarantine, Vacation or Zoom with?

The PandEMMYs is what Jimmy Kimmel called it during his opening monologue – and that was much of the intrigue: how would they pull off a truly live award show? The bit off the top, cutting to past footage of people in the theatre, went on a bit too long, non? On our group chat, we were divided over …

Lady In The Blue Dress

A post shared by Regina King (@iamreginaking) on Sep 20, 2020 at 10:40pm PDT

I watched Watchmen one weekend, about a month after it finished airing. I was blown away. This entire lockdown, I’ve been saving the re-watch because I know I’ll find it completely absorbing, and I want to really devote some time to it. Regina King’s entire deal is AMAZING. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s performance was OUTSTANDING. Jean Smart deserved an Emmy for her performance too, if we’re being honest, but I’m not greedy (sob) so I’m happy with Yahya and Regina’s Emmy wins last night, and all of the Emmys for the show entirely, including best limited series. Well-deserved – the series is an incredible piece of art, one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time.

One of the things that I love most about Regina winning an Emmy for Watchmen is that… like, I remember seeing Regina in stuff all of my life. She was a successful child actor and she became a successful character actor and lead actress in adulthood. And this is the most successful she’s ever been in her life, in her 40s. In her 40s, she’s won four Emmys (in six years) AND an Oscar, and she’s an in-demand producer and director and just an all-around badass.

As you can see the in Instagram above, she was going to wear a bright blue Schiaparelli dress to the Emmys if they had gone ahead. Instead, she sat at home in a smart Schiaparelli suit and a Breonna Taylor t-shirt and accepted her Emmy that way.

And here’s Yahya! He was really surprised. He’s soooo beautiful.

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has a new show,Filthy Rich, that premieres tonight on FOX. Kim shared “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” with US. She is slightly dyslexic, she speaks German, and she is happily child-free.

Kim is mostly known for her sexier characters such as Samantha from SATC and her role in the 1981 classic Porky’s. However, her personal life doesn’t reflect those characters. She says she is a romantic monogamist. Recently Kim, 64, said did an interview with People about her boyfriend of four years Russ Thomas, 50. She said she is enjoying her quiet life in Vancouver and her sweet morning ritual of drinking tea with milk with Russ. Here are a few excerpts:

“From the beginning, [Russ] and I felt like we needed to get out of town, so we came up to my house in Canada,” former Sex and the City star Cattrall, who was born in England, then raised in Vancouver, tells PEOPLE. “I’m coming home again. The mountains, the orcas, when I was a teenager I didn’t appreciate it. But now, they’re bringing me back.”

And Cattrall, who was born in Liverpool, says she feels connected to Thomas, born in Kent, England, through their shared roots. “It’s just so easy,” says Cattrall, who was previously married three times. “I’m very comfortable around him. He’s a firecracker and he’s got a wicked sense of humor. And he’s easy on the eyes!”

And Cattrall and Thomas share a special daily routine she’s come to cherish. “The day starts with a cup of tea,” says the actress. “It’s hot water over a tea bag, with milk, no sugar and exactly the right temperature. It’s very British! We have tea together every morning, and after lunch usually another cup to get through the day.”

Ultimately, Cattrall says she’s met her match. “I love him,” she says. “And he was worth waiting for.”

[From People]

Samantha was one of my favorite characters on SATC because she just didn’t give a f*ck about what people thought about her. I think that part of Sam’s personality, Kim embodies. I love that she has found love and with a younger and very hot man.

Besides being a bodacious babe, Kim is honestly living my dream life of a being surrounded by beautiful nature (particularly in the mountains near a lake), snuggling in front of a fireplace and sipping on wine or tea. Sorry I kinda got lost in my own fantasy. Anyhow, I definitely will tune into Filthy Rich, it sounds like a campy mess of an evening soap opera like Revenge or Desperate Housewives. I do need a good escape and this just may be it for the fall months.
