We've got a LOT of football happening this weekend! Both of my teams are out of it, so I'm rooting for CHAOS. (Also for Joe Burrows's outfits.)

Apparently, so is Noted Hottie Jesse Williams, which is much better news than the rumored Jackson/April *Grey's Anatomy* spin-off that honestly might have just been invented by Sarah Drew. (Props to her for doing that, though.) \[Celebitchy\]
