Carlin Glynn, who won a Tony Award in 1979 for originating the role of madam Mona Stangley in “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” died July 13 at age 83. Her daughter, “Fried Green Tomatoes” actress Mary Stuart Masterson, announced the news on Instagram.
“On Thursday, July 13, my mother, Carlin Glynn Masterson, passed away. I was with her. I will always be grateful for those last moments, no matter how hard,” Masterson wrote on Sunday. She told the New York Times on Thursday that her mother had been battling lung cancer and dementia.
She remembered her mother as “strong, smart, silly, intuitive, kind, generous, passionate and a deep listener” who was devoted to her late husband, Peter Materson and “the enormous circle of students and collaborators who were considered her chosen family.”
Masterson shared a photo of Glynn from her 80th birthday party, “before the worst of dementia and cancer took their toll.

Peter Masterson, an actor, director, producer and writer best known for co-writing the Tony-winning play “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” has died. He was 84.
Masterson, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease for 14 years, collapsed at his home in Kinderhook, New York, on Tuesday just before 6 p.m. and could not be revived, his daughter Mary Stuart Masterson told TheWrap.
“The best of me comes from the best of him,” Stuart Masterson told TheWrap. “He was an historian, a thinker, a tough son-of-a-gun (he never complained once about his plight with Parkinson’s), and kinder and funnier with a handful of words than it seemed possible. He was a world class sailor and raced in regatta around the world into his 70s.”

Low on nightmare fuel? Fill up your tank by reliving your scariest memories from The Real Ghostbusters, a truly twisted 80s cartoon...
The Real Ghostbusters was a pretty messed-up cartoon sometimes. I think that’s one of life’s universal truths. I’m not quite sure why the world needed an unholy amalgam of anime, cheesy 80s synth music, and mind-bending eldritch horror with a chiselled version of Bill Murray on top. But it did, and it still feels so right to this day.

Ah, Dic Enterprises. What would my childhood have been without you? Well, for starters, I suppose I wouldn't have been terrified of the cartoon demons you dreamt up in your Real Ghostbusters cartoon, you sadistic monsters!
Ahem. Sorry, I didn’t mean to snap. It’s just… Rgb (as the hardcore fans...

Paul Simon's love affair with baseball is well-known, having recorded "Night Game" for his 1975 solo album "Still Crazy After All These Years" and referencing Yankees great Joe Dimaggio in the Simon and Garfunkel classic "Mrs. Robinson." But Monday night he appeared on Toronto sports radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan to talk baseball, music and even Justin Bieber with host Mike Wilner
As heard during the roughly 20-minute interview, Simon saw the Monday game between the host Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees. Wilner saw Simon on camera and "sent an envoy" to bring him to their booth.
The music icon explained he and his son Gabe are on a six-day, six game "baseball odyssey"
"So we started off at Wrigley and saw the Cubs, the next day the White Sox were in town so we saw that," Simon said. "Then we went to Cleveland and stopped off at...

Just one change at the top this week. I can’t even give my We Got This Covered colleague, Dave Gilbert, that much grief for his NFL Cream Of The Crop picks he made for week 7. Despite losing some key defensive players, Dave moved the Baltimore Ravens up to third, a move that I can actually understand. But then they were smashed by the Houston Texans 43-13!
Oh well, better luck with the Bottom Of The Barrel post this week Dave…
For a recap, here’s how Mr. Gilbert had the Cream Of The Crop last week;
1. Atlanta Falcons
2. Houston Texans
3. Baltimore Ravens
And here’s how I see things this week.
1. Atlanta Falcons
Until the Falcons lose a game, I think they’ll stay atop our Power Rankings. Atlanta is 6-0, but they do have a tough test this Sunday as they travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles.

I just lost my Dancing With the Stars virginity last week. (I know, I know. I'm behind the times. But I'm more of a So You Think You Can Dance girl.) But as much as I enjoyed watching the judges constantly remind Buzz Aldrin that he's an American hero, I think I might prefer watching Jimmy Fallon's latest Late Night game, Dancing With the Cardboard Cutouts of the Stars, on a weekly basis. Perhaps that's because I always wish I had Zack Morris' cardboard cut-out of Kelly Kapowski in my room. (What tween girl wouldn't want to own something of Zack's?...
