Hello, everybody! Yes, it's been months since saying those words, and why? I've been mega-busy with tons of things (work), including ending my annual Sexiest Woman of the Year poll after 15 years. 

But enough babbling; we begin first up with the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, in which streaks ended and history was made. HBO's "Game of Thrones" got its first Outstanding Drama, beating out AMC's "Mad Men", which went out on such a high note as Jon Hamm finally copped Lead Actor-Drama. And "How To Get Away With Murder's" Viola Davis became the first-ever African-American Lead Actress-Drama winner, and this passage from her speech summed it up very well: "'In my mind I see a line, and over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line, but I can't seem to get there no how. I can't seem to get over that line.' That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s."

"Modern Family's" five-year Emmy reign came to an end as "Veep" dethroned them for Comedy Series; star Julia Louis-Dreyfus picked up her fourth straight Lead Actress (seventh overall) while Jeffrey Tambor got Lead Actor for Amazon Prime's "Transparent." Other winners include: "The Voice" (Reality-Competition Program), "Inside Amy Schumer" (Variety Sketch Series; Schumer herself will be part of the Oddball Comedy Festival here in Atlanta on October 4), Uzo Aduba ("Orange Is The New Black"; she is the second person after Ed Asner to win for playing the same character in a comedy and drama series), "Olive Kitteridge" (Miniseries-Movie, plus acting honors for Frances McDormand and Bill Murray), and, for the final time, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" (Variety Talk Series).

Host Andy Samberg was "smooth, saucy, purposely goofy and self-assured", raves the Associated Press, especially when he gave out a functioning login/password to the HBO Now streaming service to 11.9 million viewers (making it the least-watched Emmycast ever). But I thought the highlight of the night belonged to Tracy Morgan, making his first public appearance on the Emmy stage to a rousing ovation since last year's near-fatal car crash.

The other highlight was the red carpet, and man, was it sizzling! No, not the fashions, but the weather, as temperatures soared up to 100 degrees! Even though she graciously lost to Viola Davis, "Empire's" Taraji P. Henson was very scorching in her Alexander Wang, making her my best dressed followed by Kerry Washington (Marc Jacobs). As for Heidi Klum? Sure, she may still be a 10, but her Alterier Versace reeked Big Bird and my score: 0! That same score should also be given to the reigning -- and our last -- Sexiest Woman winner Julianne Hough (Marchesa); no offense to her male fans, but her butt is flat as a pancake.

From television's biggest night comes this news just in as far as the presidential race is concerned: Wisconsin governor Scott Walker is the second Republican candidate after Rick Perry to throw in the towel.

Now this comes almost a week after Walker and others including, of course, Donald Trump, clashed in the second debate which garnered a record 23 million viewers for CNN. But Walker got only less than half a percentage point among Republican voters, while numbers for Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina have been increasing over the last couple of weeks.

On the Democratic front, Hillary Clinton has been losing some steam to Bernie Sanders, but the big question is: Will Vice President Joe Biden crash the party? Rumors have been swirling about him making a play to get promoted, but as of right now, Biden is still pondering.

Last month, we got quite a jolt as there was a surprise contender from out of nowhere: Deez Nuts! It turns out that that was the work of 15-year-old Brady Olson of Iowa, who decided to drop out when he realized one thing he learned in history class: To run for President, you must be at least 35 years or older!!! No is, ands, or buts; the constitution put it in writing over 225 years ago. Oh well, at least Deez Nuts would've been the worst president since...I would say Jimmy Carter.

But in the end, I think the battle for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will be Clinton-Bush II. Trump may be taking his race very seriously for now, but...when was the last time we had an entrepreneur as president? Probably never, but hey, we once elected lawyers, a World War II general, even a Hollywood actor. Make no mistake: when things get down to the nitty gritty, Trump will have had enough, and it'll be the public saying to him, "You're fired." So long, stay strong, and God bless.
