I too think Derek has a Marilyn thing going on. He didn't like Rebecca until he saw her as Marilyn. Same thing with Ivy.
Derek is my favorite character. He owns that he is a slime ball. I think it also helps that he is arguably the best actor on the show. All my friends IRL who watch the show all love Derek.

Darn! I should have paid more attention. Oh well.
I got the soundtrack tonight.![]()
....how is it? I'm thinking of buying it this weekend....
Small pet peeve as I'm listening to the soundtrack...why in the world did they include Nick Jonas' song, but left off White Baby Grand and 1001 Nights??
Ugh. I wish they would've left off that song and included one of the songs I mentioned above.
...OMG, I forgot he was on a few weeks ago!![]()
So, Eileen is singing too.I guess her boyfriend will be next.
I didn't care for Sam & Karen's the rendition of "Stand." Anyone who's been so overwhelmed by some of the absolute worst things that Life can throw at at a person and they just keep coming one after another, and to hear and truly understand that sometimes all you CAN do is to just use every ounce of power and emotion and dignity you have left to just STAND through it all, knows those two have no understanding of what that song is about.
For them, it was a pretty song to sing in church. And they had a week to pull it together for the episode. Just as one shouldn't send a boy in to do a Man's job, don't have people whose worst thing that has happened to them is break a fingernail and have them sing "Stand."It's like the difference in having Jennifer Hudson, who had her mother, brother & nephew murdered, sing it. She'd KNOW what this song is about and who this song is really for.
Here is Donnie McClurkin who wrote the song, sing it with BeBe & CeCe Winans on Oprah, a little bit after 9/11. I wept when I heard the song for the first time.

(Sorry, the sound quality isn't very good. But, you'll get they KNOW what that song is about.)
So, who do you think put the peanuts in Uma's smoothie? I'm going with Ivy!
Did you notice that Marc Shaiman was playing the piano for Angelica Huston? And Scott Wittman was one of the patrons in the bar (the man with the grey hair and black glasses).
I wish they would stage "Bombshell" for a week or so on Broadway. I'd go! I understand it would be an expensive undertaking, but it would be interesting to see it with all the songs and costumes. Maybe it will be an extra feature on the DVD. I guess I can dream.
I think it was Ellis, thinking he was doing Ivy a favor.
Angelica Huston sang a song written for and made famous by her Grandfather, Walter Huston. The song was first sang on Broadway in 1938.
