Walker, getting a nigh-automatic nod in light of global conditions things appear to still be a lot pickier when it comes to projects that are in development, even with a set superhero pedigree. Specifically,

Although there have been Wonder Girl characters in comics dating back to the 1960s generally associated with, duh, Wonder Woman (who’s yet to make an appearance in the CW’s Arrowverse, by the by) Rodriguez’s version was set to focus on the latest, Yara Flor, who debuted in DC Comics last month as part of its Future State event.

Top Chef, and they deserve it, but ask any longtime fan of the show, and they’ll tell you that Gail Simmons holds down that panel just as intelligently and eloquently as her compatriots and that she always looks great doing it. From what we’ve heard, she sits on top of many people’s television crush lists, and she’s rapidly working her way up ours after the Love Week interview above. In it, Simmons expounds on her excellent decades long crush on Sir Patrick Stewart she had a life-sized cutout in her dorm room! talks about her dislike of tripe, and dishes on what she’d put on a crush-worthy playlist.
