Loni Anderson's portrayal of Jennifer Marlowe in WKRP in Cincinnati skewered stereotypes
Loni Anderson, who died Sunday at 79, auditioned for the role of Chrissy Snow on Three's Company before the sitcom's debut on ABC in the late seventies. Though she wowed the producers, the relatively unknown actress did not get the job. Apparently, Anderson was too beautiful and too savvy for the envisioned simple-minded, apartment-sharing secretary character. The role instead went to Suzanne Somers, who won a People's Choice Award in 1978 for her performance and later made a fortune mastering thighs. And Anderson? The actress soon distinguished herself and found fame as receptionist Jennifer Marlowe in CBS's beloved radio station-set TV series, WKRP in Cincinnati. The irony of it all was that the Marlowe character skewered the ditzy blonde stereotype exemplified by Somers's Chrissy Snow. Anderson's tight-dressed, cool-headed bombshell was the rare voice of reason in a hapless radio station full of renegades and utter incompetents. The vivacious, self-possessed Marlowe established her ground rules in the first scene of WKRP's debut episode in 1978 by easily swatting away the lascivious advances of plaid-suited sales manager Herb Tarlek (played by Frank Bonner), as if he were a harmless housefly. Then, she moved on to the newly-hired program director Andy Travis (Gary Sandy), wielding her impressive curves near him while admonishing men who only wanted sex. 'You're not like that, are you,' she said. Coming from her it wasn't a question, it was a stipulation. Popular 1980s actor Loni Anderson of hit TV series 'WKRP in Cincinnati' has died at 79 Marlowe received phone calls and visitors efficiently. She shielded bumbling station manager Arthur Carlson (played beautifully by Gordon Jump) from important mail and meaningful decisions. Subservient tasks were beneath her. Carlson: 'I would like to dictate a press release.' Marlowe: 'I don't take dictation.' Carlson: 'It's probably going to be a long meeting, though, so why don't you get coffee for all the guys here?' Marlowe: 'I don't get coffee, Mr. Carlson, we agreed. You have to draw the line somewhere. Will there be anything else I can do?' Carlson: 'No, I think that just about does it.' Before landing the WKRP job, Anderson actually appeared in a Three's Company episode as an old flame of John Ritter's lead character, the skirt-chasing Jack Tripper. In Chris Mann's 1998 book, Come and Knock on Our Door, Ritter said the reason Anderson didn't get the Three's Company role was that she was too poised for the character: 'No one would believe she couldn't live in her own apartment, that she would have to struggle to get the rent paid.' She was a better fit on WKRP. It was revealed in a 1979 episode that receptionist Marlowe was the highest-paid station employee, with a salary of US$24,000 per year. Adjusted for inflation, that's more than US$100,000 today. In season three, the impossibly wealthy Marlowe bought a large house in the suburbs. In the classic Turkeys Away episode, a Thanksgiving promotion at the station, involving live gobblers dropped from a helicopter, went horribly wrong. As chaos ensued, Marlowe stayed calm. 'A lot of turkeys don't make it through Thanksgiving,' she rationally explained to an irate caller to the station. Anderson's Marlowe winked at the cliché of the hair-brained blonde by posing as that type to gaslight a program consultant hired to straighten out the station. On another episode, she spoofed a breathy sexpot caricature by aping Marilyn Monroe's famous birthday serenade for the commander-in-chief John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden in 1962. For her WKRP acting, Anderson earned two Emmy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. To this day, men who were young during WKRP's four-season run from 1978 to 1982 still proudly express their preference for Jan Smithers (who played the brown-haired ingenue Bailey Quarters) over Anderson. They see themselves as virtuous by siding with the girl next door instead of the voluptuous platinum blonde. The truth is, much like the TV characters who lusted after Marlowe, many men are intimidated by overt, confident sexuality. Whenever Marlowe playfully suggested she might submit to Tarlek's goofy advances, the married sales manager hyperventilated. His bluff called, the ridiculous man who wore matching white belts and shoes was the dog who finally caught the car. Because Tarlek was out of Marlowe's league. Almost everybody was.

Millions are flocking to grow virtual gardens in viral Roblox game created by teenager
Whether it serves as a chill escape from the onslaught of the real world or simply a way to beat vacation doldrums, a viral Roblox game about gardening has become the surprise hit of the summer. Grow a Garden, created by a 16-year-old in a few days, has shattered records for the most concurrent players of any game in history, beating out video games that take years and millions of dollars to develop. And there's no one to shoot, fight or race. If your last attempt at cultivating vegetables was FarmVille in 2010, don't worry — your tomatoes will grow even if you never water them. Grow a Garden is as simple as its name suggests — players can fill a plot of land with plants and animals, harvest and sell, trade or steal each others' bounty. The game is low stress, with an aesthetic reminiscent of Minecraft and a soundtrack of soothing classical tunes such as Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca playing in the background. Its popularity has further cemented Roblox' place not just in the gaming world but in popular culture — for better or for worse, it's where the kids hang out. 'The word I keep hearing used over and over to describe this particular game is that it's chill, which is just such a nice alternative. I get a lot of sort of that Animal Crossing vibe from it. You know, like you can check in, you can check your gardens, you can get some new seeds, you can plant them,' said Betsy Bozdech, editorial director at the nonprofit Common Sense Media. 'I have an 11-year-old son who (plays it) and he says to him the big difference is that a lot of games have a big giant objective that you have to do, but in Grow a Garden, you can just kind of hang out and do what you want.' Coincidence or not, Grow a Garden soared to popularity around the same time that Take-Two Interactive announced it would delay the launch of its wildly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 until next year. In late June, the gardening game logged 21.6 million concurrent players, surpassing Fortnite's previous record of 15.2 million according to Roblox. Analysts who follow Roblox's stock say Grow a Garden is helping boost the company's revenue and will push the company's quarterly earnings numbers above Wall Street's expectations. While it's not clear if the GTA audience flocked to this simple gardening game to pass the time until then, the timing reignited the age-old debate about who gamers are and what titles are taken seriously by the video game establishment. It happened with Candy Crush, with puzzle games, with Animal Crossing. Are people who play cozy games true gamers? Or is the title reserved for the folks who shoot enemies in Call of Duty or drive around creating mayhem in GTA? 'There's a huge percentage of gamers that play Roblox and the actual industry just views it as like this esoterically immature platform of weird gameplay habits,' said Janzen Madsen, the New Zealand-based CEO and founder of Splitting Point studios, which acquired the game from its teenage creator. 'Well, I actually think in five years this is what player expectation is gonna be. And because you guys haven't embraced it, like you're not gonna know how to make games.' To start growing your garden, you'll need a Roblox account. The game will start you out with an empty plot and some money — sheckles — and a starter seed. From there, you can plant seeds, harvest and sell your crops and buy more seeds, animals or tools for your garden. While it is possible to play the game without spending real-world money, it will take longer. Once you sell enough crops, you earn money to buy more expensive seeds beyond basic carrots and blueberries. 'For me, I just, I really want to get all the rarest stuff. I'm a completionist, so I want everything and that's what's fun for me,' said Leah Ashe, a YouTuber who plays Grow a Garden and other popular games to an audience of 5.3 million. 'It's really cool because you can come together because the seed shop is global, so everybody's shop is the exact same. So you can work with other people and be like, 'Oh my gosh, the sugar apple is in stock. Get online!' The seed shop updates every five minutes, so there's always something pulling you back into the game.' For Roblox, which has faced a backlash for not doing enough to protect kids on its gaming service, Grow a Garden has served as something of a reprieve — along with new safety measures such as chat restrictions and privacy tools. New players get help from more established peers who send them gifts and let them know when rare seeds become available in the seed shop. Bozdech said that 'if you have the right supervision and guidance,' Roblox can be a positive experience for kids, allowing them to create their own designs or practice coding, for instance. 'Something like Grow a Garden, particularly, is a nice opportunity maybe for parents and kids to play together,' she said. And perhaps the slow cultivating of a magical garden can benefit parents too. 'It's hitting a nerve, you know?' Bozdech said. 'People need an escape from the world, I think we all do.' —- This story was first published on Jul. 30, 2025. It was updated on Aug. 4, 2025 to correct the spelling of Betsy Bozdech.

Sean (Diddy) Combs denied bail, will remain in jail until October sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges – racketeering and sex trafficking – while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offence. In denying Combs' $50 million bond proposal, Judge Arun Subramanian said the hip hop impresario hadn't proven that he did not pose a flight risk or danger, nor shown an 'exceptional circumstance' that would justify his release after a conviction that otherwise requires detention. Combs' arguments 'might have traction in a case that didn't involve evidence of violence, coercion or subjugation in connection with the acts of prostitution at issue, but the record here contains evidence of all three,' the judge wrote. Prosecutors declined to comment on the ruling. Messages seeking comment were sent to Combs' lawyers. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines aren't mandatory, and Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a protean figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' During the trial, four women testified that Combs had beaten or sexually assaulted them. Jurors also watched video of Combs hurling one of his former girlfriends, R&B singer Cassie, to the floor, repeatedly kicking her and then and dragging her down a hotel hallway. His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalize consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defence acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend.' Agnifilo also raised concerns about squalor and danger at the Metropolitan Detention Center, the notorious federal lockup where Combs is being held. The judge wrote Monday that those conditions were a 'serious' consideration, but he said Combs hadn't shown that unique circumstances – such as advanced age or medical issues – would warrant his release. The defense's most recent proposal included the $50 million bond, plus travel restrictions, and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence – and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct – demonstrates his dangerousness.'
