Could a ‘Girlfriends’ reboot be on the way? Kelsey Grammer is especially hopeful.

The TV icon, who executive produced the beloved sitcom was on hand at the 81st Annual Golden Globes – where he was plugging the ‘Frasier’ revival.

Naturally, we here at That Grape Juice had to quiz the trailblazer on the possibility of ‘Girlfriends’ following suit.

Speaking candidly, Grammer revealed to TGJ’s Shar Jossell that plans are already in motion.

Confirming that “we’re already kicking around ideas,” the 69-year-old expanded on what a return to ‘Girlfriends’ could look like 20 years on.

Anchored by Tracee Ellis Ross (Joan), Golden Brooks (Maya), Jill Marie Jones (Toni), and Persia White (Lynn), the show centered on the lives, loves, and losses of four friends.

As widely known, the series (which was created by Mara Brock Akil) was brought to an abrupt end after 8 seasons in 2008 amidst the writing strike at the time and as its housing network (The CW) moved in a different direction.

In the years since fans have continually called for a reboot of ‘Girlfriends’ – with Akil making clear that she would be up to heed the request if the right price was attached to the production.

As reported, the cast reunited for a surprise stint on ‘black-ish’ in 2019.

Here’s hoping there’s more to come from the ladies as a collective in the near future.

Jonathan Majors has finally opened up about being found guilty on two of the four misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment he faced in his domestic abuse case with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, the actor broke the long-held silence he has demonstrated since the March 2023 incident unfolded.

Speaking with anchor Linsey Davis, Majors denied hitting Jabbari (or any woman he has dated).

He copped to being careless with her heart but was adamant that his wrongdoing does not veer beyond that.

Getting emotional in places he shared that he hasn’t seen his daughter “in a while” and made clear that the issue at hand is why.

Elsewhere, he praised his girlfriend Meagan Good for being “an angel” by his side “like Corretta [Scott King]” – a callback of sorts to publicized comments he made to Jabarri. Specifically, her need to behave like Corretta.
