Another week in the books! Please enjoy:

\-- I LOVE the series on Vulture where[ Dave Holmes talks about the top forty songs of a week in history. This week, it's June 16, 1990](https://www.vulture.com/2014/06/dave-holmes-1990-chart-mariah-carey-debut.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). For example, "One of the ’90s’ great mysteries is the enduring popularity of Alannah Myles’ “Black Velvet,” a Contempo Casuals leather jacket of a song that you will hear every karaoke night to this day," and "Nikki looked like *Lovesexy*\-era Prince, sounded like Tommy Page, probably got played on John Garabedian’s “Open House Party” a few times, and then *went on to marry Martika*, which is a fact I am just learning right this second and which is ripping my head right off my neck with its pure uncut 1990-ness.." READ IT.

\-- A few weeks ago, I linked to *The Hollywood Reporter*'s actresses round-table, [and today I bring you the dudes](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/drama-actor-roundtable-jon-hamm-709412?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). HAMM INCLUDED. Spoilers if you're not caught up with *The Newsroom*, *Ray Donovan*, *Masters of Sex*, *The Normal Heart* or, of course, *Mad Men.*

\-- In the current *Redbook,* Melissa McCarthy drops a bomb: " [Two Oscars ago, I couldn’t find anybody to do a dress for me.
