Congrats to talented "God Friended Me" co-star JAVICIA LESLIE, who played Ali Finer on the series, and who'll be the new Batwoman, replacing RUBY ROSE, who left at the end of the first season. You'll see her when "Batwoman" returns to the CW network in January. Asked for a comment, Leslie said, “I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community.”
Other TV news --there's a reboot of the comedy series “The Wonder Years” coming to ABC --but with a big change --it'll be about a black middle class family in Montgomery, AL in the mid-to-late 60s. Variety reports FRED SAVAGE, who starred in the original series, will direct the pilot and executive produce.
ROLLING STONES fans need to get ready to hit the record store again, as the guys will be re-releasing their 1973 album, "Goats Head Soup," as a deluxe box set. The multi-album package will also include some rarities, outtakes and alternative mixes from the recording sessions, along with a complete show from their tour and three previously unreleased tracks from the period.
Fast Food: The folks at Subway sandwich shops are bringing back their BBQ Rib sandwich --to all their stores this time. The sandwich was test-marketed two years ago, but now is on the menu and will include a pork patty with BBQ sauce, along with the traditional lettuce, onions and tangy pickles, on your choice of bread. In case you were wondering, the BBQ Rib sandwich will put 580 calories on your frame, along with just less than half of your daily requirement of sodium: 1260 mg. You're welcome.
