I think we're getting ahead of ourselves, it's just a screen test.
We’ll wrap up our coverage of Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood very soon. Before I turn it over to Claudio for a wrap on the last three episodes, let’s do our Good/Bad/Ugly look at Episodes 3 and "Outlaws" and four "(Screen) Tests" after the jump...

Our hero, the dreamer, hoping to be picked
We’ll be covering the latest Ryan Murphy show Hollywood for you, now streaming on Netflix. Instead of a retread of the plot each episode (because, who cares?) we thought we’d treat you to a succinct look at the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of it all each week. And, because the show features a lot of beautiful eye candy, include the 'Not So Ugly' as a digestif. Let’s take a look at Episode One…

Meryl will drink to that! (and she did not disappoint for Sondheim's 90th)ICYMI last night (and thousands did since it started over an hour late!) make sure to watch the Sondheim birthday celebration concert benefitting ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty). While it's reductive to cite favourite moments because the concert was chalk full of life-affirming, ear-pleasuring, moving music and delicate or funny performances, we've had to share a few notes after the jump.
But honestly we loved it all. It doubled as not just a tribute to the world's greatest living musical theater composer but as a melancholy collective longing for the return of Broadway which originally housed most of those tremendous songs...

my favorite superficial thing about '80s cinema is how the men's bodies look, unpolished & hairy & fucking human. between @marcmaron & @VictorQuinaz, GLOW is giving me "Ron Leibman in NORMA RAE" realness & i love itttttttttt

13 Going On 30, but it's about a gay teen wishing he was a Broadway diva and wakes up in Patti LuPone's body in 1980 and has to perform Evita 8 times a week on Broadway. It's a horror film.

More after the jump including Riverdale, Mamma Mia!, Mission Impossible Makeouts, Sandra Oh, Cher's vote for Best Actor and a few others...

She's baaaa-aaack. It's AS IF WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE
You may have heard that plans are afoot (again) to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard musical to the big screen. It will be a Paramount Pictures production. For giggles, I was attempting to find an old article from the last time rumors spread that Glenn Close was going to transfer her Tony success to the big screen and republish it nearly intact "As If We Never Said Goodbye" to this rumor (haha. I'm here all week.) Alas, the article hid itself though I remember writing it. But what year to even search for such a thing? This rumor is perennial...
