Gasly, Alpine hungry for more points at Azerbaijan Grand Prix
The Formula One season continues in the beautiful streets of Baku, Azerbaijan, as the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix gets set to deliver another thrilling race weekend Sept. 13-15, with each stage of the race broadcast live on ESPN. In a thrilling and competitive season of Formula One racing, with only eight races remaining, Pierre Gasly and Team Alpine have had a rollercoaster year, from crashes between teammates in Monaco to poor performances during qualifying.
Despite some setbacks to start the season, Gasly and Alpine have made small improvements throughout the year, managing to score points in Monaco, Canada, Spain and Austria, with his most recent point performance coming at the

Dutch Grand Prix, putting in a strong performance starting and finishing ninth, managing to hold some of the faster cars for an extended period.
Additionally, the recent appointment of executive technical director David Sanchez back in May has helped the team maintain a winning mindset, which is crucial for the team’s continued success — something Sanchez has been very pleased with as he looks to carry that mindset going into the final weeks of the season and for years to come.
“Another objective for the team is to try and keep building the foundation of the sort of mindset of racing spirit we’d like to build for the future,” Sanchez said in an Alpine mid-season review. “It is different from where we’ve been in the last few months or few years, but it’s one transformation which is ongoing, and it’s already been fruitful and we definitely keep building on this one,” Sanchez said.

On new territory: Kaitlin Olson has ‘High Potential’ in ABC series
Kaitlin Olson is ready to be sunny, as well as sleuthy, somewhere else.
The longtime co-star of the FXX sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” has done extra duty before in her own series — Fox’s “The Mick” — and she’s now doing it again. ABC’s seriocomic “High Potential” premieres Tuesday, Sept. 17, casting Olson as crime-scene cleaner Morgan, a single mother who solves cases in her own unconventional manner. To her surprise, police officials believe they can benefit from her skills and partner her with Karadec, a veteran detective played by “Rescue Me” alum Daniel Sunjata. Adapted from the French series “HPI — Haut Potentiel Intellectuel,” the show also features Judy Reyes (“Scrubs”) as the duo’s boss, Selena, and Taran Killam (“Saturday Night Live”) as Morgan’s ex, Ludo.
Also a producer of “High Potential,” the lively and friendly Olson says, “I don’t know that there was much of a process” in her making Morgan a separate character from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s” Dee.
“This woman has some similarities, very flawed, very mouthy … but this woman is very grounded. She is a very loving mother. I’m a very loving mother. That wasn’t so hard to jump into. It’s just acting, so it’s different, but it wasn’t challenging. I didn’t need to do any reprogramming.”
Executive producer Drew Goddard,
known for shows like “Lost” and “Alias,” developed “High Potential” from its French forerunner, and he maintains that “part of the joy” of the series, “and this is in the French show as well, [is that] you feel the stress of Morgan’s dilemma of, ‘How do I get my kids to school and solve a murder at the same time?’ To me, it’s the soul of the show. I’m not that interested in plot, in a traditional sense. I’m interested in character and soul, so I always start from a place of character.”
Olson maintains that “High Potential’s” Morgan has a logical place in the line of roles she has played. “I love an underdog,” she explains. “I love a character who is so deeply insecure that she acts out. Back when I was in first grade, I was a very insecure kid, and I’ve known from consciousness that I wanted to act. I don’t know why. Then I discovered theater, but I was so shy that I never even attempted it. I didn’t audition for a play at school until high school.
“So there was this inner weird balance between, ‘I know I have this thing that I can do’ and ‘I’m way too shy and insecure to be vulnerable enough to open that up for other people to shoot me down.’ That’s always kind of been in there, so maybe that’s why I’m drawn to characters like this. I just also find a more layered character so much more interesting, with complete opposites smashed into one person. I just like that.”
Fans of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (created by fellow star Rob McElhenney, who is Olson’s husband) can rest assured of Olson’s continuing presence in that show. It films near the “High Potential” set, and she has reserved several days to work exclusively on it when it resumes production for its 17th season. Asked if she’ll ever separate fully from “Sunny,” she leaves no doubt of her feeling: “No, no, no, no, no, I’ll never do that.”

Dermot Mulroney OF CHICAGO FIRE ON NBC
Q: I understand that Dermot Mulroney is joining “Chicago Fire” for its new season. Why have there been so many cast changes on that show lately?
A: That can happen with a series that has run for a long time, and that NBC drama will be entering its 13th season when it resumes new episodes on Sept. 25. Dermot Mulroney will be playing the new chief of Firehouse 51, succeeding Eamonn Walker, who has said that he is open to returning for guest appearances as Wallace Boden. There’s precedent for that, since founding cast member Jesse Spencer has made multiple returns as Matt Casey since leaving as a series regular.
If one looks at the history of “Chicago Fire,” changes in its co-stars are nothing new. Lauren German departed after the first couple of seasons when her paramedic character Leslie Shay died on duty, and Kara Killmer followed as her replacement, Sylvie Brett. Killmer herself left the show last season, and Jocelyn Hudon — a familiar face from Hallmark Channel movies in recent years — is now succeeding her as Lizzie Novak.
Monica Raymund left the role of paramedic Gabby Dawson after six seasons, and she also has made returns as a guest star. Charlie Barnett departed as firefighter Peter Mills after the first few years of the show, and Miranda Rae Mayo joined as firefighter Stella Kidd in Season 4 (and married Lt. Kelly Severide, played by Taylor Kinney, in Season 10). Firefighter Brian “Otis” Zvonecek, portrayed by Yuri Sardarov, died at the start of Season 8 from injuries suffered on the job.
Dora Madison, Steven R. McQueen, Annie Ilonzeh and Alberto Rosende are among other “Chicago Fire” alums. And though he wasn’t a series regular, Treat Williams made sufficient appearances as Severide’s firefighter-veteran father Benny over the first seven years to have a presence on the series; the character died in Season 7.

Audrey Tautou
Q: Why haven’t I seen Audrey Tautou in a while?
A: French star Audrey Tautou (“Amelie,” 2001) created expectations of a big, English-language breakthrough in the mid-2000s, first with her appearance in the Oscar-nominated British drama “Dirty Pretty Things” (2002) and then her blockbuster breakthrough in 2006’s “The Da Vinci Code.”
But, instead of sticking around in Hollywood (or London, for that matter), she went home and just resumed her career as one of France’s most famous and bankable stars — and she’s been quite busy there ever since.
She just recently did a voice in the kid-focused “Nina and the Hedge-
“Dancing With the Stars” - Season 33 (Sept. 17)

OF THE DA VINCI CODE ON COLUMBIA PICTURES/IMAGINE ENTERTAINMENT
hog’s Secret” (2023), and before that starred in the hit comedy “The Trouble With You.” (These are just the English titles, obviously — both movies were in French.)
She did appear in a few French films with crossover appeal, though. She was in the 2013 romantic fantasy “Mood Indigo,” which was directed by indie darling Michel Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” 2004) and made a bit of a splash in art houses over here.
She also performed the title role in 2009’s “Coco Before Chanel,” a biography of fashion legend Coco Chanel. This one, too, got some distribution over here and a lot of attention.
There was one exception to all this, though — one return to this continent for an unabashedly American movie. She had a central role in the incredibly odd “The Jesus Rolls” (2019).
It was a sort of sequel to the 1998 indie classic “The Big Lebowski.” It followed one of that film’s side characters, Jesus Quintana, played by John Turturro (“O Brother Where Art Thou,” 2000), who also wrote and directed the film. But it was, at the same time, a remake of an even weirder French film from the 1974 called “Going Places.”
That’s perhaps why Tautou chose to participate, playing a woman who joins Quintana on a raunchy, crime-ridden road trip.

Q: What happened to David Caruso after “CSI: Miami”?
A: In 2012, David Caruso (“CSI: Miami”) did the unthinkable: he retired at the peak of his success. By the time “Miami” ended its incredibly successful 10-season run in 2012, he was one of the most recognizable faces in the world (a few years earlier, in 2006, “CSI: Miami” was named the most-watched show on Earth).
That’s what makes his decision to quit the entertainment business even more incredible. Rather than parlaying that fame into another series, or even an easier run as a famous guest in other people’s stuff, he just dropped the mic.
He got into the art business, opening an art gallery in Los Angeles. He also opened a chic clothing store in Miami
In a 2020 where-are-they-now story, Star magazine reported that he had become a local fixture in Miami, saying that people sometimes recognize him around South Beach, “but he keeps to himself and hangs in his condo.”
He hasn’t managed to completely evade the spotlight, though. The New York Post’s Page Six gossip column published a photo of him taken in 2023, pointing out that it was the first image of him seen since 2017.

Never too late: Joan Vassos makes history as the first ‘Golden Bachelorette’
Last year, according to ABC, nearly 43 million viewers tuned in across platforms to watch Gerry Turner debut as the first-ever “Golden Bachelor.” Now, it’s time for love — and roses — to bloom again, as “The Golden Bachelorette” makes its debut Wednesday, Sept. 18, on ABC.
Keeping in line with its predecessors, this brand-new series follows one radiant single as she searches for love. The difference, however, is that this bachelorette has found love before, and now, in her golden years, is ready to take her shot once again.
First introduced during Gerry’s season of “The Golden Bachelor,” our inaugural “Golden Bachelorette” is none other than the radiant Joan Vassos, who loves Elton John, cooking, her dog and spending time with family, above all else.
“After her time was cut short on the inaugural season of ‘The Golden Bachelor,’ Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockland, Maryland, will begin her own journey for new love this fall when she steps into the historic role as the first Golden Bachelorette. The fan favorite will bring her signature grace and charm as she embarks on a
search for her next person, showcasing that everyone is worthy of more than just a second chance at love,” says ABC.
Vassos tragically lost her husband after 32 years of marriage. Despite her loss, she has remained a devoted mother, grandmother and public servant, embodying strength and grace as she processed her grief. Last year, Vassos opened her heart again by taking part in Gerry’s search for love, but her time on “The Golden Bachelor” was cut short when a medical concern with her daughter arose, and Vassos made the difficult decision to leave the competition.
