After what feels like many years of teasing, Volkswagen’s retro-groovy ID Buzz has finally gone into production in Hannover, Germany. US market sales of the electric minivan are still two years away, but it has gone on sale in Europe, and demand has been so strong that VW is doubling production. “And this is without any of the customers seeing, touching, or even being able to drive the vehicle,” VW Commercial Vehicles Chairman Carsten Intra told Automobilwoche.

Built using VW’s new modular EV platform, the ID Buzz has launched in Europe with the shorter wheelbase variant, either as a two-row passenger vehicle or a commercial version that ditches windows and seats for pure cargo capacity. VW Commercial Vehicles says it has received roughly 12,500 preorders from European customers for the ID Buzz, and nearly half of those are for that commercial van.

VW dealers in Europe are about to receive their first demonstration models, and Intra told Automobilwoche that by the end of the year Hannover should have doubled production from 100 Buzzes a day to 200. 2023 is when things get serious, with a plan to produce 100,000 electric vans a year, increasing eventually to 130,000.

  • US stocks fell Tuesday, turning lower in the post-Labor Day session. 
  • Stocks gave up earlier gains after a stronger-than-expected ISM services report. 
  • That bolstered views that the Fed sees the economy as strong enough to take on more rate hikes. 

US stocks closed with a loss Tuesday as investors saw a stronger-than-expected report on service-sector activity as providing further reason for rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. 

The S&P 500 fell for a third straight session, led by losses in the consumer services and energy sectors. The decline was softened somewhat by gains among sectors considered defensive — real estate, utilities, and health care. Wall Street's major equity indexes have lost ground over the past three weeks. 

Stocks gave up gains earlier Tuesday and Treasury yields rose after the Institute for Supply Management said its August index on service-sector activity rose to 56.9%. The reading outstripped Econoday's consensus estimate of 55.4% for activity that drives more than a third of US economic growth. 

The Federal Reserve has indicated it sees the US economy slowing but strong enough to withstand more interest rate increases to pull down inflation toward its 2% target.

Here's where US indexes stood at the 4:00 p.m. closing bell on Tuesday: 

"The combination of peak hawkishness from the Fed and the frustratingly slow pace at which inflation is cooling could continue to weigh on stocks for another month or more," LPL Financial strategists said in a note published Tuesday. 

"Still, we could see potential upside for stocks over the balance of 2022. Some inflation relief is likely coming, which can help foster interest rate stability. Friday's jobs report that many are calling 'Goldilocks,' sets up some needed cooling of labor markets," they said.  

Last Friday's jobs report showed the US added 315,000 payrolls in August, beating the forecast for 300,000 new jobs but down from July's scorching addition of 528,000 jobs. 

Around the markets, Digital World Acquisition Corp. shares tumbled after the company gave its shareholders more time to vote on a proposal to extend a deadline to merge with Donald Trump's social media company. Truth Media & Technology Group runs the Truth Social networking app. 

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman called for gradual interest-rate hikes to avoid crushing economic growth and employment. 

Saudi Arabia is lowering oil prices for Asia and Europe but hiking them for most US buyers. 

Oil prices tuned lower. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 0.1% to $ 86.64 per barrel. Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell 0.2% to $ 92.69. 

Gold fell by 0.7% to $ 1,711.40 per ounce. The 10-year Treasury yield increased by 14 basis points to 3.33%.  

Bitcoin fell 4.5% to $ 18,848.12.

Annie Flynn Ray Bello aka Rebel is mad as hell and she’s not gonna take it anymore.

The ABC drama from Krista Vernoff (and loosely based on activist/exec producer Erin Brockovich) kicks off with the title character (played by Sons of Anarchy‘s Katey Sagal) crashing a corporate party to interrogate Mr. Duncan, a CEO whom she has been emailing about his company’s faulty heart valves.

Rebel gives him one last chance to address the issue and he tries throw her out of the party, prompting the legal clerk to call in the cavalry: an army of protestors. Of course, the cops are summoned and Rebel goes through the familiar process of removing her jewelry before being taken away in handcuffs — but not before falling off the stage while calling out the corporation for their harmful product.

While in jail, Rebel talks to a woman who was arrested for stabbing her abusive boyfriend. She tell Naomi to call her daughter, Cassidy (Lex Scott Davis), who’s a lawyer. We also learn that Rebel has several ex-husbands due to her line of work, including police officer Flynn (Matthew Glave).

Lex Scott Davis in Rebel Season 1Rebel makes bail and argues with Cassidy, who’s upset with her mom for “getting drunk and assaulting a CEO.” She doesn’t think anyone will touch the heart valve case but Rebel is determined to pursue it. Borrowing her current husband Grady’s (John Corbett) car, she heads to high-powered attorney Cruz’s (Andy Garcia) house to try and get him on board. Cruz, however, isn’t interested in taking on the case and closes the door on her.

The next morning, Rebel steals Grady’s wallet and asks her friend Lana (Tamala Jones), a private investigator, to look into it because she suspects him of cheating. At the hospital, Rebel makes another pro bono referral for her daughter before trying to convince her son Nate (Kevin Zegers), a gynecologist, to get involved with the heart valve case. She wants him to start a study, and he won’t do it since the evidence she has is circumstantial at best. Their relationship is strained, mostly due to the fact that Nate was raised by “nannies on motorcycles” while she was off saving the world.

Elsewhere, Cassidy meets with Naomi about her domestic violence case. When Naomi has trouble recalling certain details, Cassidy concludes that she might still be in shock. In a hearing, Cassidy delivers a passionate testimony on behalf of her client and impresses her father Benji (James Lesure), who offers to hire her as an associate. But Cassidy doesn’t want to work for the dark side aka corporate law.

Meanwhile, Rebel visits her friend Helen, who received one of the faulty heart valves, is not doing well and wants to give up. Rebel, however, makes it clear that she’ll get that valve out of her friend if it’s the last thing she does. She even suggests taking out a second mortgage on her house, which Lana promptly shoots down because there’s a better way to do this without jeopardizing her finances. It’s time to go back to Cruz.

Katey Segal with Andy Garcia in Rebel Season 1Rebel stages a sit-in with a group of protestors in Cruz’s office, forcing him to finally listen to their stories. One by one, they share their harrowing experiences with the heart valve, including a woman whose baby is extremely ill after having it installed while pregnant. When Cruz still refuses to take the case, Rebel presses him further, reminding him that his wife also died because of that valve. Cruz snaps and angrily reveals why he’s so against it: he doesn’t want to be reminded of what happened with his wife. Rebel counters that she would be pissed at him for letting innocent people suffer when he can do something to stop it. This only enrages Cruz even more, and he fires his consultant.

In Rebel’s Children Are Struggling news, Cassidy tells her father that she is exhausted by her mom, who feels the need to address every injustice in the world. It’s overwhelming, which makes her dad’s offer tempting. Plus, Rebel’s daughter Ziggie (Ariela Barer), who’s just out of rehab, attends a support group and meets a cute guy named Sean. When he asks her out, she turns him down because it’s a better idea to focus on her recovery.

Lana has not met with Naomi, and escorts her to her apartment to pack up her abusive boyfriend’s things. They find drugs and an unlicensed gun in his drum set, meaning he’ll probably get an increased sentence — especially since Lana called Flynn to ensure he receives the evidence.  The celebratory mood shift want Naomi’s boyfriend shows up and tries to attack her, but is taken down by Lana. Not only did his stitches tear, but he’s likely facing even more time for headbutting a police offer.

At the bar, Rebel is drinking away her sorrows when Lana calls her with a present: the abusive boyfriend has been arrested. Rebel heads over to jail and threatens to rain hellfire over the abusive musician if he doesn’t agree to stay away from Naomi, and set the record straight in court. Guess what he chose to do?

ABC's Rebel Season 1It’s time to celebrate Rebel and Grady’s 10th anniversary. The family has gathered for the surprise party, and it’s one of the few times that they look happy together. Lana receives a call which explains what’s going on with Grady: He’s been in contact with a high-end divorce attorney. Upset, Rebel confronts Grady who lies and claims it was a work thing.

When Ziggie reveals that she found divorce papers in his belongings, Grady finally comes clean. He tells everyone he’s tired of his wife always working and not being home “to cook me dinner” — a sexist statement that deeply offends the whole family and results in Nate punching him. Nate promptly leaves to visit Helen and start the heart valve study for his mom.

In the final scene, Rebel tosses some of Grady’s clothes in a fire. Cruz shows up — Cassidy filled him in on what happened — and offers to take her out to drink. But Rebel declines, because she wants to remember how she feels in this moment. Getting to the heart of his visit, Cruz hands over his wife’s autopsy results. He was afraid to look at it before because of what it might say — that she may have killed herself due to the pain. However, it’s been concluded that she died of a heart attack. Glancing at the documents, Rebel rallies Cruz: “Let’s go crush those bastards.”

Meant for more, Top 4! Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race dethroned yet another hopeful queen, paving the way for a sickening season finale… in a few weeks.

Friday’s maxi challenge cast the five remaining contestants — Gottmik, Kandy Muse, Olivia Lux, Rosé and Symone — in the instant sci-fi classic Henny, I Shrunk the Drag Queens! And who better to prepare them for their close-up than Black Widow herself, Scarlett Johansson? Certainly not Colin Jost, who crashed his wife’s virtual pep talk to ask if the movie was called… Size Queens. (Save the comedy for Weekend Update, pal.)

Most of Henny‘s casting actually fell into place naturally — Rosé as Brandy, the “sarcastic” queen, Gottmik as Chardonnay, the “whiny” one, and Olivia as Ginger Ale, the “dumb” one — but there was a bit of friction when it came time for Kandy and Symone to claim their roles. Both had their heart set on Dominique, the “mean” one, and neither was about to back down.

Following an extremely frustrating back-and-forth exchange, Symone eventually accepted the role of Margarita, the “smart” one, but she wasn’t happy about it. This had me concerned, as [1] I only want the best for Symone, and [2] we’ve seen countless queens bomb acting challenges by basically throwing in the towel after not getting their preferred role. A tearful Symone even admitted (via confessional) that the pressure and expectations of the competition are really starting to get to her. (Seriously, it’s 2021. Why do smart TVs not come with a “send hug” feature?!)

In the end, though, Symone’s tears were for naught. The judges thoroughly enjoyed her performance, while they felt that Kandy relied too heavily on her same ol’ schtick and didn’t bring enough zazz to the part. They actually felt that Olivia, who also underperformed, might have benefitted from playing Dominique, as it would have given her a chance to expand her range. And it wasn’t just Kandy’s acting that got a bad review from the judges; they also tore apart her “sloppy,” ill-fitting runway look. Michelle Visage even gave her the dreaded “You’re better than that” line.

“I feel very disappointed,” Kandy said, her eyes welling up with tears. “And I agree about the outfit. When I put it on, I don’t feel beautiful in it. You know when you put something on and you feel great in it? I didn’t feel that. And I’m just disappointed. We’re so close to the end, and this is something I’ve wanted for so long. But the fight’s not over, and maybe next time I’ll play a dumb bitch.”

Check out this week’s full runway (“Haute Pockets”) below:

A few of these looks were great, but Gottmik gets my personal seal of approval — if only for that spot-on Hercules flasher reference. (Click here if you need a refresher.)

But before sending the queens to untuck backstage, Ru posed everybody’s favorite cringe question: “Who should go home tonight, and why?” Everyone chose Olivia without hesitation, except for Ms. Lux, who eventually settled on Kandy after what felt like a full hour of silence.

And the judges’ ruling couldn’t have been any less surprising. Rosé was handed her third win of the season (they loved her mod look on the runway), while Gottmik and Symone (phew!) sashayed to safety, leaving Kandy and Olivia to face the music — that music being Cher’s “Strong Enough.”

Real talk, though… Considering how much was on the line for both queens, not to mention the inherent potential of this iconic jam, I was a little underwhelmed by the lip sync. Kandy managed to pull a few laughs out of the judges, but there were no wow moments on either end. If the pool wasn’t already so small, I’d have sent them both packing. Then again, I’m not Ru. And my opinion is literally irrelevant.

Then came the final decision: Kandy was sent to safety, while Olivia Lux was told to sashay away. “You should be very proud of yourself.” Ru said. “I know I am.”

“A friendly reminder to Liv life to the fullest,” Olivia said on her way off the runway.

Is America broken beyond repair? That was the question on Kate McKinnon’s mind in Saturday Night Live‘s first sketch of 2021.

“Hello and welcome to What Still Works, where we look at every part of society and wonder ‘What still works?’ It’s a new year and we have a new president, so some things should work — but do they?” McKinnon asked.

The first topic was government — and already, McKinnon had her doubts. For insight, she brought out Marjorie Taylor Greene, the wackadoo congresswoman from Georgia who’s been promoting QAnon conspiracy theories. The U.S. representative sat down and offered McKinnon a gun, then ran through a series of grotesque conspiracies regarding the Parkland school shooting, the September 11 attacks and California wildfires.

Next up, McKinnon checked in on the stock market with the new majority shareholder of GameStop, Derrick Boner. ‘Nuff said.

Afterwards, social media CEOs Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg dropped by to discuss how Twitter and Facebook have played a hand in spreading misinformation. “Fundamentally, Facebook still works,” Zuckerberg argued. “Not only does it help form communities online, it has helped people meet and connect in real life. For example, at the Capitol!”

After Zuckerberg short-circuited, McKinnon checked in on the coronavirus vaccine rollout with O.J. Simpson, who is among the three percent of the population who have already received the vaccine while teachers and those suffering from longterm lung conditions remain on the waitlist.

For her final topic, McKinnon asked, “Is Tom Brady working?” There with his thoughts was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ star quarterback (played by this weekend’s SNL host, John Krasinski), who acknowledged that no one’s rooting for him heading into Super Bowl LV. Once he bolted, McKinnon acknowledged the absurdity of the cold open.

“I’ve been Kate McKinnon, as myself, slowly losing my mind like all of you,” she said. “Stay strong — or weak. Weak is a great option, too.”

Wonder Woman is due for yet another spin, following the Gal Gadot-led film sequel’s solid performance both at the traditional (yet not) box office and with its simultaneous release on HBO Max.

Warner Bros. Pictures announced on Sunday that it has fast-tracked development on a follow-up to Wonder Woman 1984, which will be written by franchise vet Patty Jenkins, who is again attached to direct.

Amid mixed reviews, Wonder Woman 1984 lassoed the top pandemic-era domestic opening weekend for any feature film this year (with $ 16.7 million in box office), and to date worldwide has cumed $ 85 million. What’s more, its simultaneous release on HBO Max — the first franchise blockbuster to also get a day-and-date release on a streaming service — saw “nearly half of the first-year platform’s retail subscribers” (how ever many that may be, we do not know) cue up the film upon its Christmas Day arrival, reads a press release.

In addition, “millions of wholesale subscribers who have access to HBO Max via a cable, wireless or other partner services” tuned in for the sequel, in which Gadot’s Amazon princess battled two villains: wannabe oil tycoon Max Lord (The Mandalorian‘s Pedro Pascal) and Dr. Barbara Minerva aka Cheetah (SNL vet Kristen Wiig).

“Wonder Woman 1984 broke records and exceeded our expectations across all of our key viewing and subscriber metrics in its first 24 hours on the service, and the interest and momentum we’re seeing indicates this will likely continue well beyond the weekend,” WarnerMedia Direct-to-Consumer EVP Andy Forssell said in a statement. “During these very difficult times, it was nice to give families the option of enjoying this uplifting film at home, where theater viewing wasn’t an option.”

Not long after it slotted Wonder Woman 1984 for a simultaneous theatrical/streaming release, Warner Media boldly announced that its entire 2021 film slate (The Matrix 4 and The Suicide Squad included) would do same.

Were you among the millions who watched Wonder Woman 1984 on HBO Max this weekend? If so, what are your wishes and hopes for the threequel?

Following a four-week break — and with its second episode since Election Night — Saturday Night Live returned with a cold open that spoofed (as much as one is able to) the witnesses that President Trump’s Rudy Giuliani-led legal team has trotted out to argue voting fraud.

In C-SPAN coverage of the Michigan State Senate hearing testimony alleging fraud in the November election, Mikey Day and Ego Nwodim played House Oversight Committee members who grew increasingly exasperated as Giuliani, in between passings of gas, cycled through “a dozen highly intelligent, barely intoxicated individuals who are all eyewitnesses” to voter fraud.

First up was Cecily Strong — in a slight variation on “The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party” — as Melissa Carone, who avowed she “personally saw hundreds if not thousands of dead people vote.”

Heidi Gardner then came on as a woman who claimed she “ate ballots” after being tricked by Democrats who set up food trucks filled with ballot burgers, ballot pizzas and such. Next up was the My Pillow Guy aka Mike Lindell (played by Beck Bennett), who shamelessly shilled, “A ‘Demorat’ can hide over a million fake ballots in a My Pillow and still get a great night’s sleep!”

Carone returned for a bit, to sip a COVID vaccine martini and confuse Dominion (as in the voting technology company she worked for) with Domino’s, after which Alex Moffat played a man who claimed that he saw aliens fill out absentee ballots, for Biden… seven years ago.

The kicker to the skit, if there was one, was tooty Rudy’s introduction of “Nicole Kidman’s character from The Undoing” (played by Chloe Fineman), who had nothing to offer on election fraud but instead insisted — in her “Upper East Side of Australia” accent — that husband Hugh Grant was innocent because he’s “too hot and white.”

The committee finally interrupted Giuliani from… er, tucking in his shirt… to insist he wrap things up, at which point the former New York mayor said he would not stop fighting until the presidential election was overturned — or he was given “a full pardon and $ 10 million in cash.” He then announced his next presser would be held at the Ritz-Carlton… Plumbing & Heating Supply Company.

Additional video clips of the cold open will be added once available. In the meantime, share your reactions in Comments below.

Did your invite to Stevie and Dmitri’s wedding get lost in the mail? Have no fear: We’ve gathered all of the highlights of Madam Secretary‘s series finale — which included the nuptials of the First Daughter and her soulmate — in a final (sniff!) recap.

The episode, “Leaving the Station,” takes place nine months after the events of the previous installment, and we pick up two days before Stevie’s wedding. She and Dmitri are planning to hold it at a gorgeously bucolic venue. They’re particularly taken with the site’s hand-hewn wooden beams and such… which will play a big part in what happens later.

Elizabeth is riding high after the failed impeachment and the groundswell of support for her presidency, so she announces that she’s going to revive the Equal Rights Amendment initiative in an effort to get the Constitutional change ratified by all 50 states. (It doesn’t hurt that a woman born on the day women were given the right to vote — who’s in the Oval Office, along with members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team — gives Elizabeth grief about introducing a mere Equal Pay and Family Leave bill the Constitution doesn’t specifically guarantee women’s equality. Also: How to Get Away With Murder‘s Cicely Tyson plays the old woman, and she is awesome.)

One of Elizabeth’s biggest opponents on the Equal Rights Amendment front is Ohio Sen. Amy Ross (guest star Tyne Daly, Cagney & Lacey star/sister of Tim), who thinks that men and women are different and that’s just how it is. The Daly siblings get a nice scene together while Amy is waiting to talk to the president, but we can’t focus too much on that, because Stevie’s wedding venue just burned to the ground!

Everyone, especially Russell, scrambles to set the big event up somewhere else. But given the constraints of Elizabeth’s security protocol, they’re basically limited to either Camp David or 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In the end, it’s decided: Stevie’s going to have a White House wedding!

Madam Secretary Finale Recap Season 6 Episode 10Elizabeth and Henry are adamant that the event not turn into a political shindig, despite Mike’s insistence that they use it to their advantage. But Stevie and Dmitri are on board. And eventually, a bunch of lawmakers and at least one foreign dignitary are in attendance. Russell’s wife, Carol, also is there — but they’re seated separately, given that she’s told him that his job has come first too many times, and she’s leaving him.

President Dalton performs the ceremony, in which Dmitri and Stevie each recite vows they’ve composed. It’s simple, sweet and lovely, and Stevie’s dress is divine. Jason and Allison are there, of course. So are Daisy (who’s been exonerated but isn’t working); Matt (who’s writing TV shows in Los Angeles now); Blake (who performs several musical numbers during the reception) and his fiance; and Jay (who’s still with the chess player — who is pregnant! — and who’s moving back to D.C.). Also of note: Matt tells Daisy he misses her and that she should move to L.A., so…

https://tvline.com/tag/madam-secretary/Other highlights of the reception: Henry gives a toast that makes multiple mention of Thomas Aquinas, Peter Frampton plays “Show Me the Way” for the first dance and Russell and his wife reunite after he promises to put her before his work from now on — and proves it by writing his resignation letter on a cocktail napkin and handing it to Elizabeth during the dinner portion of the evening.

A month later, Jay is Elizabeth’s new chief of staff, and he enters the Oval to tell her that the ERA is going to pass in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, but polling indicates that the possibility of 50-state ratification is weak. So she gleefully proposes a whistle-stop tour to drum up support across the country. And the last shot of the entire series is her wrapping one of those stops and kissing Henry as a crowd cheers and the train they’re on pulls out of a station.

Fox’s BH90210 showed a good amount of zip with its premiere numbers.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 not-a-reboot “reboot” debuted on Wednesday to 3.8 million total viewers and a 1.5 demo rating (per fast nationals), dominating the night in the latter measure.

That marks Fox’s best Wednesday numbers of the summer by far, easily besting the 3.14 mil/0.8 posted by MasterChef‘s season opener. And among all of broadcast-TV’s summertime fare, at first glance it appears that only episodes of reality staples America’s Got Talent and The Bachelorette have performed better.

BH90210 marks this summer’s No. 1-rated series launch, and also gave Fox its highest rated out-of-season telecast in nearly three years (since an early September 2016 episode of MasterChef).

TVLine readers gave BH90210 an average grade of “B-,” with online sentiment largely falling into either “God so help me, I loved that odd bird” or “WTF was that?!” buckets.
